A Long-Aged Monk struggled against the relentless passage of time. Such practitioners often possessed vast knowledge, accumulated over long years. Even if they were mistaken about one thing, their ignorance could transform into expertise in ten others.
Therefore, one should never underestimate a seasoned practitioner like Ren He, even if that monk, Coco, appeared quite youthful.
For several hours, Gu immersed himself in knowledge, his head spinning from the influx of information. He decided to pause his reading and return tomorrow; after all, the foundational materials lay there for anyone to peruse and wouldn't run away on their own. There was no rush.
Gu firmly believed in one thing: knowledge always granted immense power. Thus, Gu Yi had always placed great importance on acquiring it.
As he approached the door, he noticed Chen Minghua waiting for him. Gu had thought he would have left by now. Glancing at the dimming light in the sky, he realized it was getting late; if they weren't fasting, it must be mealtime.
His junior brother might have gotten himself into trouble without realizing it. I don't deny it. Perhaps it was best to head over to Liu Shizu's place for a bit of refuge.
"Why not accompany your junior brother for dinner? I'm curious about the academy's food," Gu Xiao said casually, as if nothing were amiss, pulling Chen Minghua toward the Steamed in the Hall.
Unaware of the situation, when Tianshi Disciple took out that piece of Agarwood, several senior brothers looked at him with eyes ablaze with desire, as if a giant treasure trove lay before them. How could his junior brother be so oblivious? Didn't he understand that wealth should not be flaunted?
Wasn't that a piece of Thousand-Year Agarwood? Such trivial matters hardly seemed worth worrying about.
Hearing Gu Na's words only made Chen Minghua more eager to persuade Gu to lay low for a while. If they weren't careful and fell victim to Murder and Treasure Hunting, it would be too late for regrets.
Chen Minghua wanted to say something but was abruptly silenced by Bei Qin.
"Don't forget, Senior Brother, how did he even get into the academy, and who is his disciple?"
"I don't deny it."
"Let's think about what to eat tomorrow. There's a dish from his hometown called Liquid Tea Stew. I wonder if the academy has that dish."
Chen Minghua muttered to himself, glancing at Gu with a different expression. The implication in his words seemed to suggest that he was calculating against his own people. Was it really possible for a disciple who had just entered the Outer Court two days ago to have such influence? Suddenly, Chen Minghua felt that this junior brother might not be as simple as he had thought.
There were quite a few people around.
Gu Yi looked over and estimated that there were probably hundreds or even thousands of people dining there. Nearby, some Outer Sect Disciples were helping out, and their tables were filled with food that seemed quite good; he just didn't know what the prices were.
Finding a random spot to sit down, an Outer Sect Disciple noticed the senior brother had come to eat and rushed over with a menu.
"What would you like to eat, Senior Brother?" the Outer Sect Disciple asked.
Chen Minghua should have been a frequent visitor here; he should know what was good.
"How about that one? Yes, that one looks good. And two bowls of fragrant rice."
Gu checked the prices before letting Chen Minghua order. A meal seemed to cost only one or two spirit stones, but he was worried about his own hundred spirit stones.
"I see that person over there—he's the one with exceptional talent, right?"
"It seems so. Doesn't he practice fasting?"
All the discussions were absorbed by Gu, but his eyes and mouth were not on them; he couldn't care less. Fortunately, the food arrived quickly, and he began to eat and drink on his own.
"Look over there," Chen Minghua said, pointing with his chopsticks.
Gu glanced at a pretty girl walking by, eating her meal. Other than that, there was nothing else of interest, and he didn't understand what Chen Minghua meant.
"What’s wrong?"
"That girl, Huo Lian. Before I entered the academy, she was considered the most talented disciple of that generation, with a Fire Earth Spirit Root. As soon as I arrived, I overshadowed her. So what's going on?"
So it turned out to be a potential rival. He wondered what kind of personality she had; could she be a spoiled young lady?
As Gu was observing, it seemed that Huo Lian had noticed him too. She looked over in his direction, and their eyes met for a brief moment before they both instinctively lowered their heads to continue eating, as if nothing had happened.
