Chapter 38 Ridiculous and Overestimating Oneself

What Lin Wanyi laughed at was naturally the requirements put forward by the academy.

Even if we put aside the so-called public reconciliation and the explanation to outsiders on behalf of the academy that it was just a misunderstanding that day, and all the other things that were closely related to his own reputation, the demands made by the vice-president were still ridiculously harsh.

The most demanding part, of course, is the requirements regarding the summer festival.

Xia Ji is not competing with the people of one city or one place, but with all the young practitioners in the world. Among them there must be geniuses who are also in the Cave True Realm. How easy is it to be among the top three?
Not to mention that in addition to this, Gu Zhuo also has to look after his former classmates who are also participating in the summer festival, and do his best for them to strive for a place in the top 30.

Even if we go back more than 20 days, and fully consider the preciousness of Tongsheng Pill and the cross-border behavior of Gu Zhuo asking for this pill, such a request can still be regarded as a joke.

Space is easy to break, but time is hard to go back.

Now it is more than 20 days later, and Changzhou Academy is already in deep crisis. The demands put forward by the vice-president cannot even be called a joke, but should be described as humiliating.

For any proud teenager, this is an impossible condition to agree to.

The vice president seemed to know nothing about this. He looked at Gu Zhuo coldly and said calmly, "I can tell you clearly that this is not me or Changzhou Academy deliberately making things difficult for you. This is the bottom line of Changzhou Academy."

Gu Zhuo said softly: "Is that so?"

The vice president nodded calmly and said calmly: "I took the initiative to come here to discuss this deal with you. It was a very sincere thing, because it was you who took the initiative to ask for the Tongsheng Pill, not me who was thinking about giving it to you."

After hearing this, Professor Liu became more and more restless, and sweat quietly wet the back of his clothes.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the vice-president could be so confident and say that he was really considering Gu Zhuo and taking into full account the past friendship between teacher and student.

In his eyes, this was a pure humiliation.

At this moment, Lin Wanyi turned her head to look at Gu Zhuo and suddenly asked, "Would it be convenient for me to say a few words first?"

Gu Zhuo said without thinking: "This is not just my business, of course I can do it."

Lin Wanyi was very satisfied with this answer.

She retracted her gaze, looked at the vice president and asked bluntly: "Do you think you are worthy? Do you deserve Gu Zhuo to come out and reconcile, and give you a way out as a bunch of old, useless people?"

The vice-president's expression was no longer indifferent. He looked at Lin Wanyi and revealed his extremely obvious disgust without any concealment.

Many years ago, the old man disliked this stubborn girl. In his opinion, Lin Wanyi was a self-righteous and hopeless paranoid who could not be helped!

Especially since three years ago, when Lin Wanyi insisted on making things difficult for Changzhou Academy, the disgust became even stronger.

"Whether I am worthy or not is not up to you to decide."

The vice president looked at Lin Wanyi coldly and said, "Let me remind you that you are not qualified to represent Gu Zhuo in talking to me. Even if Gu Zhuo is unwilling to accept this deal, there are many people in this world who are willing to do so."

The old man suddenly laughed out loud and said mockingly: "Also, let me teach you a lesson. The stupidest thing in the world is to be self-righteous, self-indulgent, and self-talking, so you should try to speak less in the future."

The side hall was completely quiet, without any sound.

Gu Zhuo no longer remained silent, stood up and prepared to speak.

At this moment, Lin Wanyi suddenly laughed, and her smile was extremely bright and generous.

"Are there many people doing business with the academy?"

She smiled and said, "Your so-called deal should be to use the Tongsheng Pill to exchange benefits for the academy, right? Is it with an official in the court? Or is it to seek greater support from the sect behind the academy?"

The vice president took one last look at her, stood up with a sneer, turned around and walked away, completely ignoring her and showing an attitude of extreme contempt and mockery.

Changzhou Academy was of course aware of Lin Wanyi's complicated identity and that her mother was the imperial concubine, otherwise they would not have been so polite in doing things over the past three years. But so what?
Normally, the academy was willing to give face to the imperial concubine out of basic respect, not because they were so afraid that they dared not move.

What's more, the one who has a problem with the academy is not the empress herself, but her daughter who is in an awkward situation. What is there to be afraid of?
Given the high value of Tongsheng Pill, many people in the court and the public were willing to support Changzhou Academy. The most crucial reason why Changzhou Academy was able to retain such a precious pill was that the alchemist was still alive and highly respected, and no one was willing to offend him for a pill.

Lin Wanyi didn't look at the vice president either, but just said one sentence.

"You just gave me a lesson, so I might as well remind you that after today, no one in the court... no, no one in the whole world dares to accept this Tongsheng Pill."

When she said this, her voice was inexplicably gentle, even with a hint of a smile, and there was no hint of threat at all.

It's like explaining a very simple and plain truth.

Gu Zhuo looked at Lin Wanyi's profile and thought that she was really angry.

"ridiculous."

The vice president mocked without even turning his head, and was about to leave when a sudden noise came from outside.

A professor from the college looked extremely anxious. He threw aside all his usual courtesy and rushed to the frowning vice-president. He gasped and spoke a piece of news in a low voice.

After hearing this, the vice president's expression suddenly changed and his face turned pale.

The source of the news is very reliable.

He was an outstanding student of Changzhou Academy who served as an official in the court. Because he was concerned about the past friendship, he specifically warned his former teachers to treat a certain girl as they had done for the past three years.

Obviously, the girl was referring to Lin Wanyi.

The news was about a lady.

The vice president stopped.

"Ah~"

Lin Wanyi seemed to have discovered something unexpected. She slowly turned around and looked at the three people from Changzhou Academy. She asked in surprise, "Why aren't you leaving? Are you expecting me to see you off?"

With such an obvious change in facial expression, how could she not guess the content of the message the other party had received?

The vice president looked back at Lin Wanyi and was silent for a long time. He then said in a hoarse voice, "I came here today to propose this deal to you because the academy appreciates Gu Zhuo and is willing to give him a chance."

As he finished speaking, the old man's tone became calmer, because he must not show any fear at this moment, letting Lin Wanyi and Gu Zhuo discover the weakness of Changzhou Academy, which would be truly disastrous.

"This Tongsheng Pill was originally prepared for the dean to break through the Guiyi realm. Do you know why the academy suddenly came to you to make a deal?"

He looked into Gu Zhuo's eyes and spoke faster and faster: "It's because the dean felt a sense of appreciation for your talent after learning about your situation and was willing to give you a chance. Do you really think the academy will give this Tongsheng Pill to exchange for benefits? It's ridiculous. What kind of benefits can be exchanged for a dean above the Guiyi realm to personally take charge of the academy? Do you think the old people in the academy are idiots!"

After hearing this, Lin Wanyi admired the man's ability to lie with open eyes and couldn't help but applaud.

The applause was crisp.

Gu Zhuo did not applaud.

"Whether you are idiots or not is none of my business."

He stated a fact in a calm and objective tone: "But you really couldn't contact the dean."

　The first volume will end tomorrow. When we head to the capital, the story will become much more youthful and crisp, probably.
