Chapter 43 Who is it?

Chapter 43 Who is it?

Lin Wanyi was stunned and subconsciously opened her eyes wide, wondering if she had heard it correctly.

This is how the same thing?

The deck was silent for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

The people present were looking at the storyteller with a beaming face. Even the voices that had habitually objected before were stunned at this moment, obviously wondering who the Mr. Gu from Wangjing in the words was.

Without waiting for anyone to question or refute, the storyteller's face became solemn, and he slammed the gavel in his hand on the table again.

Bang!
The uproar in the audience gradually died down, and what followed was a long speech that the storyteller seemed to have recited thousands of times and was very familiar with.

"Why do I dare to rank Master Gu first? It's because in terms of strength alone, he fought against thirteen famous Dongzhen masters in one day and won every one of them, and he won all of them with one sword. You have to admit that such a record is unprecedented, not to mention unprecedented. And in my opinion, such a terrifying record and the fact that he has already entered the realm of Dongzhen are not all that Master Gu has. The real reason why I am so optimistic about him is actually his transcendent character..."

Someone couldn't help but interrupt and shouted, "So who is this Mr. Gu?"

Upon hearing this, the storyteller was not annoyed at all. Instead, he felt even happier. He gave the man a thumbs up and said, "That's a good question! Your question is about the character I'm going to talk about next. Mr. Gu is a person of true noble character. His maturity is rare in the world. What he did in Wangjing a while ago was an extraordinary thing. I really want to talk to you all about it in detail here..."

The deck, which had been quiet, became lively again at this moment, even more lively than before.

Lin Wanyi looked at this scene, her expression seemed calm, but her eyes were filled with confusion.

They are both talented people from Wangjing. Even if Gu Zhuo is indeed slightly better than her, is the gap in their reputation so big?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

Could it be that the Lin family was deliberately suppressing her behind the scenes, or that certain powerful people in the court did not want to see her famous and intentionally concealed her name?
Otherwise, why is she so unknown?
Lin Wanyi was silent for a moment, then returned to Gu Zhuo and asked in a low voice, "What do you think is going on?"

Gu Zhuo was quite speechless as he watched the excitement at the moment. He shook his head and said, "How should I know?"

"How should I put it... I don't know why, although it's purely intuition, but I feel that this storyteller is a little strange?"

"What's strange?"

Lin Wanyi frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he came up with an idea and said uncertainly: "The strange thing is... it's like this person was paid to flatter you?"

Gu Zhuo thought this was ridiculous and didn't know what to say, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

Even if this storyteller is a native of Wangjing and I have a natural liking for him, it wouldn't ruin my job, right?
Meanwhile, the quarrel on the other side of the deck was becoming increasingly intense and was reaching a stalemate.

To be more precise, the storyteller was engaged in a debate with the scholars, defending Gu Zhuo with his own strength and refusing to give up an inch.

"Do you really think Wujiu Fochi is so powerful? It's nothing more than that he was born as a child of Buddha, with extraordinary blood. At the beginning of his practice, he showed some mysteries of Wujiu. Wujiu is the first realm above Guiyi, which makes you subconsciously think that this little monk has terrifying combat power. But what is the truth? What achievements does he have to show off? Tsk, there is none at all!"

"The Goddess of Heaven? It was just the light from the gods that washed her marrow and refined her Qi. Did she see any strange phenomena after entering the cave? No, then she just took a few more steps on the road of cultivation. How can she compare to a banished immortal like Master Gu? Isn't this clear if you think about it a little bit?"

"You all know what a banished immortal means, right? Isn't this much more powerful than some Buddha-crazy goddess? Others are transcendent figures who come to the human world for a visit and will ascend to heaven one day. It is reasonable for me to rank him first, not to mention that this is backed up by his battle record."

"Not convinced? Who will come to the table to talk to the thirteen Dongzhens in a row?"

Lin Wanyi was silent for a long time after listening to these words, and then said to Gu Zhuo seriously: "Although I know you didn't spend this money, I really think he received a lot of money, because even I almost don't recognize you in the words."

Gu Zhuo had nothing to say, so he asked, "Shall we go back?"

Lin Wanyi hummed and agreed quickly. Gu Zhuo was surprised and said, "I thought you wanted to continue watching."

“Then I kind of want to keep watching.”

Lin Wanyi said honestly: "But I don't want you to feel embarrassed. Also, since I'm your friend, I can't be so selfish as to make fun of you."

Gu Zhuo didn't know what to say.

Under normal circumstances, he would not take this matter to heart at all, because no one present knew him.

Well, now these words are so embarrassing that no one can embarrass him, but the problem is that Lin Wanyi is present today, and based on the character that the girl has shown in the past, she will definitely carefully repeat the words of the storyteller after listening.

This was the embarrassment he didn't want to endure.

Lin Wanyi suddenly remembered something and said, "You'd better not say that kind of thing again in the future."

Gu Zhuo was slightly startled and asked, "What?"

Lin Wanyi said: "Reputation is all fake, being number one in the world is nothing to be proud of."

Gu Zhuo was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Lin Wanyi tilted her head slightly, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously: "If someone who has been the best in the world says something like this, it's just pretentious, but if someone who has never been the best in the world says it, it's just jealous."

Gu Zhuo was speechless and asked, "Then isn't this sentence wrong from birth?"

Lin Wanyi thought for a while and said, "It's okay to pretend, but it's really not okay to be sour, because people need to be generous in this regard."

Gu Zhuo agreed with her opinion very much because he had nothing to do with sourness.

As they were talking, the two of them had already left the deck.

The gods were already in the horizon, and the journey was nearing its end. Naturally, the people on the passenger ship became busy, making various preparations in advance for the upcoming journey into the city.

Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi returned to their respective rooms and began to pack their luggage.

Although it was called cleaning, there weren't actually too many things to deal with. In less than fifteen minutes, the room was already tidy.

Gu Zhuo pushed open the window, allowing the river wind to flow in, making a whistling sound.

He sat down by the window, whispered something to the river breeze, and then closed his eyes.

After closing my eyes, the wind became inexplicably gentle.

This means that Gu Zhuo has started practicing.

On the same day that sixteen elders of Changzhou Academy, led by the vice-president, resigned, the only remaining Tongsheng Pill in the academy was quietly delivered to Gu Zhuo in exchange for Lin Wanyi's mercy and non-obstruction.

On that day, Gu Zhuo directly took the Tongsheng Pill and began the long refining process.

It was not until more than a month later, when we were about to arrive at the capital of God, that this process was nearing its end.
