Chapter 20 What state are you in?
Hearing this um, Lin Wanyi remained silent for a longer time.
After a while, she suddenly shook her head violently, her expression inexplicably becoming more determined.
Gu Zhuo looked at Lin Wanyi and the long hair that was flying like a waterfall, thought for a while and said: "I..."
"Don't talk!"
Lin Wanyi suddenly interrupted him, raised his head, took a deep breath, and said expressionlessly: "I suddenly realized that I must practice immediately. Is it a problem for you to eat dinner alone?"
Gu Zhuo can do anything.
Lin Wanyi turned around and walked away, her skirts billowing in the wind in an awe-inspiring manner.
She looked very anxious, and in fact she was indeed anxious, because she could not accept that she was left behind by Gu Zhuo in the matter of practice.
Especially when she thought that it only took one afternoon for Gu Zhuo to successfully break through the realm, and during the same period of time, she went to have a full sleep... Even if this sleep was necessary, she also I slept quite happily, but I still feel deeply ashamed at this moment.
The person who humiliated her was not Gu Zhuo, but herself.
How to avenge shame?
Only practice diligently.
In comparison, neither dinner nor Cheung Chau College is worth mentioning.
Just when Lin Wanyi was thinking about this and was about to leave, she suddenly recalled something.
"There are many people challenging you, and all the challenge letters have been handed to me. I will ask Butler Qiu to deliver them to you later."
After saying these words, Lin Wanyi really left.
Gu Zhuo thought to himself, how much is it?
Half a quarter of an hour later, Butler Qiu held a thick stack of envelopes and answered the question vaguely.
"How many are there in total?"
"There is no breakdown, probably more than a hundred letters."
"Okay."
"Mr. Gu, I would like to remind you."
"Please speak."
"I know Mr. Gu that you never like to fight with others, but the other party's letter of challenge has been sent to your desk. If you don't take it seriously, I'm afraid it will cause some criticism."
The conversation ends there.
These more than a hundred challenge letters were finally placed on the desk in the room, forming a thick mountain. It is conceivable that this mountain will definitely grow higher in the future.
The word "criticism" mentioned in Butler Qiu's sentence was actually a tactful reminder to Gu Zhuo that if he refused to fight like he did in the past, someone would definitely use this matter to make trouble next, so he should treat it with caution.
As for how to treat it... who knows?
There are more than a hundred letters of challenge, and it is impossible to get through all of them. That is not a question of whether you can win, but a question of extreme trouble.
From the most basic appointment time, to discussing the battle location, to the fact that the time and location of each battle do not overlap, how to accurately arrange the round trip, and whether Gu Zhuo has sufficient personal rest...
Just thinking about these things can make people feel bored and even scared.
Not to mention that the vast majority of the challengers were far inferior to Gu Zhuo in terms of strength, and there was no point in fighting them.
Obviously, Cheung Chau Academy, which started this storm with its own hands, was using this mountain of challenge letters to silently tell Gu Zhuo.
——All the detachment and freedom you had in the past were built for you by the academy at all costs.
……
……
"How do you think Gu Zhuo will deal with this?"
Chen Chi lay lazily on the chair and asked with his eyes closed.
Next to him were naturally the two familiar colleagues, Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu.
At this time, the three of them were located deep in the yamen of the Tianxian Division, looking through internal files, trying hard to complete the tasks assigned by Chief Pei himself.
"Pick out some worthy of fighting? How many fights?" Yu Yinchun answered casually, his eyes always staying on the file in front of him, thinking about the question that the fat old man in Cheung Chau Academy was confused about - Gu Zhuo's blank thirteen Where did the year go?
Guan Xingu was doing the same thing, but the difference was that he was in a slightly bad mood.
"This is too ridiculous. Gu Zhuo didn't just show up yesterday. Why didn't anyone notice this before?"
Chen Chi thought for a while and said, "Then you have to ask the people at Changzhou Academy."
Yu Yinchun suddenly asked: "Why don't you just ask Gu Zhuo directly?"
Guan Xingu said: "Because it is impossible to determine whether what he said is true or false."
Yu Yinchun stopped reading the relevant files, turned to look at the two of them, and said seriously: "No matter whether the answer he gave is true or false, even if he is unwilling to speak, it is still a clue in itself."
Chen Chi shook his head and said: "Continue to investigate first. If you really have no clue, then go find him."
Having said that, Guan Xingu also stopped what he was doing.
The three simply started a discussion on this.
"Were there any natural or man-made disasters four years ago?"
"I don't seem to have the impression... Are you trying to say that Gu Zhuo might have been a refugee from another country, so the past thirteen years are blank?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But I can't figure out how he walked from the border to Wangjing?"
"The dean of Cheung Chau Academy has been traveling abroad in recent years. Is it possible that he happened to save Gu Zhuo's life during his travels?"
"This inference makes some sense. After all, he is indeed unwilling to talk about the past. After realizing his talent, the dean took the initiative to cover up and forge a new identity for him, allowing him to come to Wangjing and enter Changzhou Academy... This logic It seems to make sense.”
"But what Cheung Chau College means is that they don't know anything either."
"Even if you know, you still have to pretend not to know, right? Forging an identity is not a trivial matter, and you will be punished."
"...I always feel that it's not that simple."
Chen Chi clapped his hands, interrupted the discussion, and said: "Then let's start with the aspect you are talking about. I will ask people from all ministries and yamen to cooperate. I believe there will be progress soon."
Naturally, Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu would not object.
Chen Chi looked out the window and saw that it was getting late, and said, "Anyway, that's it. Don't think so much about it today. Let's go have a meal first."
In the final analysis, we are living in a golden age that is rare in thousands of years. Even in a violent organization like the Tiantian Division, which is directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor and has a certain dark color, the internal atmosphere is relatively peaceful, and there are few scenes of harshness and violence.
After leaving the Yamen and joining the crowd, Wangjing became even more prosperous after nightfall.
The three of them walked casually, picking and choosing on the street, and finally settled on a hot pot restaurant.
Not long after they sat down, and before the bottom of the pot was even brought out, a burst of uproar suddenly broke out downstairs.
Immediately afterwards, the uproar subsided in an instant, as if it had never happened before.
"What's going on?"
Although Chen Chi is lively, the food is even better.
He didn't intend to pay attention to this matter, but this situation was really strange, so he couldn't help but call the waiter and ask about it.
The waiter lowered his voice and said: "My young master heard Gu Zhuo's announcement today that he wanted to compete for the first place in the Summer Festival. He felt like fighting, so he couldn't help but write a letter of challenge."
Chen Chi was puzzled and thought there was nothing to shout about, so he asked: "Then what?"
The waiter looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then answered the question with an extremely strange expression.
"Gu Zhuo replied to my young master, and there were six words written in the letter."
"Which six words?"
"I've learned the truth, what about you?"
There have been some changes to the previous chapter, mainly to complete the information about the protagonist’s breakthrough and identity. The modification time was after 4 p.m., so you don’t need to go back to read it after that.
