Although the abandoned house was leaky, there were many empty rooms. Guo Youdao immediately decided to stay here. Su Tang quickly prepared a room for him, but this didn't improve Guo Youdao's mood. His face was still dark during dinner, and he would occasionally glare at Lu Ping.
"I say, how did you offend the dean?" Su Tang whispered to Lu Ping. But who were these people? Although Siffin's Soul of Cry was slightly weaker, he wasn't like Morin, who had no soul at all. At this distance, he could hear clearly. Then, he didn't wait for Lu Ping's answer, but immediately observed the dean. When Su Tang asked this question, Guo Youdao's face clearly darkened, as if some unpleasant memory had been evoked.
He really did offend him!
While Siffin was thinking silently, Lu Ping had already begun to answer Su Tang in a low voice.
"This afternoon, I said that I wanted to go to Canyon Peak Academy, and the dean was angry," Lu Ping said.
Eh?
Siffin was stunned, but Su Tang quickly helped him ask his question.
"Why do you want to go to Canyon Peak Academy?" Su Tang asked in a low voice.
"I want to go to Zhenfeng College, but the dean won't accept me," Lu Ping said.
"This …" Su Tang and Siffin looked at Guo Youdao together. There was no reason for him to be angry!
Guo Youdao was angry again. This brat, he was actually playing dumb?
Indeed, when he first brought back Lu Ping and Su Tang from the snowy plains, they were ignorant of the ways of the world. If it was Lu Ping at that time, he wouldn't be surprised if he understood the reason for his anger.
But that was three years ago!
Over the past three years, Lu Ping didn't seem to have much contact with the outside world, but he wasn't shutting himself off. In fact, he adapted very quickly to the new environment, but he soon discovered that the new environment could not meet his needs.
Therefore, Lu Ping placed himself outside of this environment. He needed to focus all his energy on his cultivation, which was completely different from others. No one could help him with this cultivation, so he could only explore it alone.
After that, many humiliations and troubles came to him, but Lu Ping handled them calmly and rationally, which amazed Guo Youdao. He never got angry and always spoke his mind. Reason with him, and use the fastest and most effective method to deal with the problem that had to be solved.
Siffin, the most outstanding student of Zhenfeng College, had many confrontations with Lu Ping that did not involve force. It could be said that he was completely defeated by Lu Ping. Of course, Zhenfeng College's lenient rules were more effective against Lu Ping. But it was enough to show that Lu Ping was no longer the ignorant teenager who carried Su Tang on his back and tried to walk out of the snowfield on his own.
The current Lu Ping, Guo Youdao was a hundred percent sure that he completely understood what he meant. But he deliberately pretended to be ignorant because he wanted to avoid further discussion on this topic. He didn't want to waste time on it.
To put it bluntly, he found Guo Youdao annoying.
"Brat!" Guo Youdao couldn't help but slap the table.
"I'm full." Lu Ping put down the bowl and ran away from Guo Youdao.
"There's no hope." Guo Youdao looked up to the sky and sighed.
Su Tang and Siffin looked at each other. They were not stupid. Naturally, they knew there was another reason for the dean's anger. But it seemed that Lu Ping didn't want to explain, and the dean seemed to be sulking.
"Dean, what's going on?" Siffin asked.
"Ask him!" Guo Youdao wanted to point at Lu Ping, but he saw that Lu Ping had gone back to his room and didn't stay in the courtyard.
"That brat, after graduation, he wants to go back to Amaterasu College to be a tutor and grow flowers and grass!" Guo Youdao said angrily. "Tell me …"
"Why is he thinking the same as me?" Siffin blurted out before Guo Youdao could finish his sentence. He was shocked. He had never thought that Lu Ping would have the same idea about the future as him.
"What?" Guo Youdao was also shocked. Siffin had always been the most reliable student in his eyes, but he …
"But I don't think it's interesting to grow flowers and grass. I'd better do something else." Siffin was seriously planning his future.
"Sifan, why are you also …" Guo Youdao's face was full of heartache, as if to say, "You disappoint me".
"What about me?" Siffin didn't understand.
"As … as …" Guo Youdao wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end. He always felt that Siffin was serious and reliable, so he never talked to Siffin about the future. Such a student would definitely have a good plan for the future. Why would he need others to worry about him?
Guo Youdao only knew that Siffin had the blood of the Yan family after Wen Gecheng came. He was very surprised, but he didn't have time to confirm his doubts. And now. After listening to Siffin's ideas about the future, Guo Youdao was finally convinced.
The Yan family was in the northwest of the mainland. That was where the name Yan Qiuci came from. What about Zhenfeng College? It was located in the mountainous area of the Xuan Army Empire, which was the southeast of the mainland.
A disciple of the Yan family traveled thousands of miles. He traveled across the entire mainland and came to Zhenfeng College, which didn't even have a mentor for the Essence and Spirit Connection, to study for four years. Was he really here to cultivate?
No, of course not. Even if he wanted to torture his mind, he didn't have to do it this way.
Siffin didn't use the surname Yan to hide his identity. Even after being seen through by Wen Gecheng, he didn't talk about it. This was obviously a way of avoiding it. Initially, without such an identity, Siffin was just a serious and dutiful student in everyone's eyes. But with such an identity, his actions were thought-provoking. He traveled thousands of miles to the remote Zhenfeng College. Did this mean that he wanted to avoid the peerless family of the mainland?
Siffin didn't care about such an illustrious background. From the beginning, he only wanted to be ordinary.
His determination to travel across the mainland seemed to be unusually firm.
Siffin was still waiting for Guo Youdao to continue. But when Guo Youdao realized this, he already didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Su Tang was still puzzled. When she saw that Guo Youdao's thoughts about Siffin were the same as his thoughts about Lu Ping, she became even more confused.
"What's wrong with being a mentor in Amaterasu College?" she asked. She looked at Guo Youdao's expression, and it seemed to be what he was thinking.
Guo Youdao sighed. Su Tang's words also made it clear that this Blood Force Child didn't have any great ambitions. But Guo Youdao had already seen this. Su Tang didn't have the reverse of Siffin's identity. All she had been showing was a sense of easy satisfaction. How could such an easy-going and easily contented person have too big of an ambition and desire! Therefore, for Su Tang, even though Guo Youdao had said it, she still couldn't understand why Guo Youdao was angry.
"Sigh, sigh, sigh!" Guo Youdao didn't have the energy to say more. He threw his chopsticks on the table and looked at Chu Min helplessly.
"At least you have one." Even the tough Chu Min understood Guo Youdao's disappointment and comforted him. She pointed at Morin, who was eating happily.
"Him?" Guo Youdao smiled bitterly. "I don't know him at all. He is just a passerby."
"Really?" Chu Min didn't ask further. She just gave Guo Youdao an expression that said, "That's the only way."
"I won't be able to see him in my lifetime." Guo Youdao's expression was miserable. He threw the food on the table and stood up to leave. His back looked a little crooked, and his whole temperament suddenly changed. He slowly walked back to his room and gently closed the door. However, the door of this abandoned house had been in disrepair for many years. It was broken long ago. The moment he closed it, it opened again. Guo Youdao tried four times but couldn't close it, so he simply ignored it.
Chu Min, Su Tang, and Siffin had been watching all the time. Even when Guo Youdao's figure disappeared behind the door, the suddenly depressed atmosphere couldn't be relieved.
"What did the dean say he won't be able to see in his lifetime?" Su Tang asked. She felt that the dean had suddenly become very depressed, and she wanted to help.
Siffin shook his head. He didn't know, either.
But Chu Min answered them.
"Surpassing the Big Four." As she said that, Chu Min also stood up. She had always eaten less, but she couldn't avoid alcohol. At this time, she had already grabbed a bottle in her hand.
"Surpassing the Big Four?" Su Tang and Siffin were stunned. Even in their Zhenfeng College, this would be spread. Similarly, they also regarded it as a joke. From the dean they knew, this was too much like a beautiful lie.
"Isn't that a joke?" Siffin said.
"A joke?" Chu Min stopped but didn't look back. "It was never a joke!"
