Lu Jing was not too surprised to be punished. He had already made corresponding mental preparations before entering the otherworld.
However, at that time, he did not expect that the matter would become such a big deal in the end. Not only would Huang Supervisor know about it, but other teachers in the academy would also be alerted.
Now that it was feared that no one knew about it, Lu Jing and Xia Huai couldn't help but feel anxious.
It wasn't until the Huang Supervisory Academy announced the academy's punishment for them that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fetching 100 bamboos for the bamboo path, two months of farming in the school field, and organizing the five thousand books in the library. Lu Jing has not been exposed to the latter two things, so it is difficult to comment on them, but he has experienced the bamboo path. There are a hundred of them, but it’s not easy to cut down even one.
However, compared to the troubles the two caused, these punishments were not too harsh.
As if he could see what the two of them were thinking, Huang Jianyuan then warned, "This is your first offense, so it's just a slight punishment. But next time if you two violate the academy's rules again, not only these works will be punished." It's worth it, you just...just take care of yourself.
"In addition, although you have only stayed in Biyoudongtian for less than four hours, more than thirty days have passed outside, and all the new students have arrived. There is no reason for the academy to delay classes just for the two of you.
"So in the next period of time, you should not just complete the punishment, but also make up for the missed homework in time. This is actually the reason why the academy does not allow freshmen to enter the otherworld...
"But it seems that this prohibition can be removed from the academy's rules in the future."
Huang Supervisor shook his head, "Okay, that's all I have to say. You guys clean up and go to class if you have nothing else to do."
Seeing that the matter finally came to an end, Lu Jing and Xia Huai also bowed to the Huang Prison again, and then walked out of the valley together.
Lu Jing named his new messenger Gujing, in memory of the two senior Si Tianjian he met in Biyou Cave. The name sounded quite easy, but it always reminded Lu Jing of a certain well-known Maotai-flavor liquor.
Later, he and Tan Jing also completed the last step of the contract, pressing their fingerprints under Tan Jing's right wing.
This place is the least likely to be seen, and combined with Tanjing's inconspicuous appearance, it also makes the latter safer during the process of delivering letters.
However, Lu Jing did not choose to take Gujing away immediately, but kept it with its mother to ensure that it first learned the skills of flying, foraging and surviving in the wild.
This process shouldn't take long. Lu Jing estimates that it will only take a week or two at most. Anyway, he doesn't use the messenger very much now, so he is not in a hurry.
In contrast, it was homework that gave Lu Jing more headache.
More than a month had passed since he and Xia Huai entered and exited Biyoudongtian. Compared with other freshmen, they had already missed a month's worth of homework.
So much so that when Lu Jing sat in the lecture hall for the first time and listened to the professor in front of him explaining the secret power, he actually felt like a primary school student listening to advanced mathematics.
He could understand every word the professor said, but when put together, he had no idea what the other person was saying.
Xia Huai's situation is not much better than him. Although the girl's secret power is the best among the newcomers, this does not mean that she can directly understand the content taught by the professor without any basic knowledge.
Fortunately, Professor Zheng, who was responsible for teaching the secret power after class, took the initiative to keep the two of them here.
Then he took out a piece of rice paper and spread it out on the table.
Then he took out a bag of powder ground from something unknown from his sleeve, poured some into the inkstone on the side, and waited until the powder blended into the ink.
But he was not in a hurry to explain the purpose of these things. He just stroked his beard and asked, "How is it? How much did you two understand what I just taught?"
"Almost a word has not been understood." Lu Jing said matter-of-factly.
Professor Zheng looked at Xia Huai again, and the girl shook her head, "Me too."
Professor Zheng didn't seem surprised. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Although there were newcomers who sneaked into the otherworld in the first year, you are still the only two who entered before the class started.
"I left a lot behind, and it will take a lot of time to make up for it, but don't worry, just write something for me first."
As he spoke, he pointed to the pen holder beside him.
Xia Huai walked up first, picked out a piece of purple hair, dipped it in ink, and wrote the word "槐" on the paper.
She uses running script, a kind of calligraphy between regular script and cursive script, which is both upright and elegant.
Just from this word, we can see the extraordinary origins of Xia Huai's family. The girl's calligraphy was obviously learned from a famous teacher. Her writing style is beautiful and elegant, but she is not as rigid as ordinary women, but rather free and casual, with a sense of style. Share the unruliness of people in the world.
So Professor Zheng couldn't help but praise, "Good calligraphy."
When Xia Huai finished writing the last stroke, he saw that the first half of the word had changed color, from ink to gold, and at the same time, the color of the second half was also gradually changing.
The admiration on Professor Zheng's face became even stronger, and he sighed, "Just writing makes gold, and it is indeed well-deserved. I have been teaching in the academy for so long, and there are only three or two good practitioners like you."
Perhaps it was because Xia Huai gave him too many surprises, and then he turned his expectant eyes to Lu Jing.
"it's your turn."
Seeing this, Lu Jing stopped talking nonsense, took the purple hair from Xia Huai's hand, and wrote the word "scape" on the right half of the rice paper.
However, with Xia Huai's pearls and jade in front of him, Lu Jing's calligraphy looked a little sparse...
Because he practiced calligraphy for a period of time in the juvenile class when he was a child, so to be fair, his calligraphy cannot be said to be ugly.
But it is basically the level of normal writing to convey information. When it comes to beauty and artistry, it is obviously beyond Lu Jing's current ability.
Moreover, as a pragmatist, Lu Jing didn't have to take the scientific examination, so he naturally didn't spend much time practicing calligraphy during the period after time travel, and lacked the motivation to write better.
Fortunately, Professor Zheng wasn't originally interested in his calligraphy. When he saw his calligraphy, he just frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Just after a cup of tea passed by, the ink characters on the paper were still ink characters, without any change.
Before Professor Zheng said anything, Lu Jing himself felt a little embarrassed and asked, "How much longer do we have to wait?"
"Well, everyone can practice the secret power. It's just that the speed of practice is different. I asked you to write just to test the consistency of your secret power... The better the consistency, the faster the words on this paper will turn into gold. Fast, on the other hand, if it is less compatible, the speed of turning into gold will naturally be slower.
"The slowest speed recorded in the academy should be one hour, so... your words shouldn't have to wait too long, but in order not to waste time, I'll tell you the basics of secret power first." Professor Zheng road.
