Lu Jing found that everyone's eyes in the building were suddenly focused on him, and he couldn't help but feel helpless.
His punishment for trespassing into another cave has not yet been completed. Unexpectedly, he would catch up with him again, and this time it was an unintentional disaster. He was purely here to help Yu Qiuren and was implicated.
But seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, Lu Jing had no choice but to say, "I wonder how Mr. Guo plans to punish me?"
Guo Shouhuai really fell into deep thought after hearing this. The way to deal with other new students is very simple. Just increase the number of chores to distract their time, thereby slowing down the progress of their secret power cultivation. It will naturally make them feel uncomfortable and lead to As a warning.
But Lu Jing was different. Lu Jing usually looked like he had nothing serious to do, wandering around somewhere. Even if he was given more time to do chores, it would only be to find something for him to do.
However, it had little impact on his secret power cultivation.
What this guy swore before that he and Xuanji were thinking hard about how to cultivate the secret power now seems to be pure nonsense just to get through.
Even Guo Shouhuai, who had no plans left, found it a bit tricky to deal with this guy who was not afraid of boiling water.
Fortunately, he didn't feel embarrassed for too long, and quickly said, "I'll punish you to attend the lecture."
"???"
Lu Jing suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, so he had to ask again, "What should I be punished for?"
"From now on, you have to attend all classes related to secret power." Guo Shouhuai said calmly. He also wanted to understand that to deal with a weirdo like Lu Jing, he had to do the opposite.
The addition of handymen, which is most useful to other students, will not have much effect on him, but asking him to attend lectures on the contrary may have a miraculous effect.
Sure enough, Lu Jing's expression changed when he heard this.
This is too cruel! Guo Shouhuai was afraid that a true explanation of the secret power would not kill him, and he wanted him to listen to all the lessons related to the secret power.
I'm afraid that in less than a week, what he fears most will happen.
When Xuanji saw Lu Jing's change of expression, she could only sigh in her heart. Since she didn't want to implicate Yu Qiuren because of her own affairs, she naturally didn't want to implicate Lu Jing either.
Although she didn't understand why Lu Jing, an academy student, was so resistant to attending lectures, she still said, "I'll just obey you. Mr. Guo, don't punish others anymore."
Guo Shouhuai stroked his hands, "It's best to do this naturally. This is the trouble you two caused, and it will be settled by you two in the end." After a pause, he said to Yu Qiuren, "Do you two have anything else to say before leaving? If we want to talk in private, we can stay away for a while.”
Xuanji opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't expect Yu Qiuren to speak first, shaking his head and saying, "It's nothing, I just hope you can live well. It's not easy to come to the human world. Although I can't leave this library and see it with my own eyes, Take a look at the world, but just like what is written on the plaque downstairs, there is a world of its own in the book.
"I hope the collection of books here can become your eyes, taking you to see all the things in the world."
When Xuanji heard this, her eyes flashed, and thousands of words came to her lips, but in the end she only said one sentence, "Please take care of me."
Yu Qiuren nodded, and finally accepted the gift from her. Then he did not change the gift, but took out the banknotes he had saved over the years, then patted his butt and left while the stars were shining in the sky.
After Yu Qiuren's figure disappeared into the night and could no longer be seen, Guo Shouhuai said again, "Do you hate me a little?"
Xuanji shook her head, "How dare you, little girl? Guo Shaojian is right. This is a disaster caused by the two of us, and we should naturally bear the responsibility."
"I know what you are thinking," Guo Shouhuai turned the chopsticks in his hand and pointed at Lu Jing beside him, "You want to work in the library for three years. When this kid leaves the academy, you will die again to repay Yu Qiu for his kindness. Is your great kindness right?"
Xuanji was told by Guo Shouhuai, but she just bit her lip and said nothing.
Guo Shouhuai continued, "I admit that I value your ability and feel that it is more appropriate for you to be the library secretary, but if it is just for this matter, there is no need for me to force Yu Qiuren away.
"I can definitely let him stay and help you, or let him continue to be known as the secretary. That's not impossible. So, I actually used this matter to drive him away."
"You!" Xuanji glared at Guo Shouhuai.
The latter's expression remained unchanged, "Don't be too quick to get angry. Do you know what Su Tixue said about Yu Qiuren back then?"
Xuanji shook her head, "Please let Mr. Guo make it clear."
When Guo Shouhuai heard this, he didn't give in. "Su Tixue said that Yu Qiu is sensitive and eager to learn, soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and behaves like a gentleman in ancient times. He has great talents, so I have always had high expectations for him.
"But I didn't expect that he would be immersed in the sea of books for some reason and no longer cared about other things. It happened that the previous secretary Lang decided to return to his hometown to recuperate and spend his old age peacefully because of his old age, so he recommended him to come here. He took over, and from that day on, he became a complete idiot who only knew how to study."
Xuanji heard what Guo Shouhuai said but had different opinions, and retorted, "Have you ever thought about it, Mr. Guo, that the reason why you have such a big prejudice against scholars is because you can't see the beautiful and mysterious world in their eyes. "
"You are a person in the book, so of course you said so." Guo Shouhuai disagreed, "I don't deny that the world in the book is beautiful, but you can't completely give up on the less beautiful world you live in just because that world is more beautiful. world.
"The world outside the library may be terrible, full of war, bloodshed and death, as well as all kinds of conspiracies and calculations, but it is something you can't escape.
"Especially for a talented person like Yu Qiuren, living in such a small library and living a self-sufficient life every day is too wasteful for the world and himself.
"I'm not totally opposed to escaping, but the premise of this is that he has to open his eyes and see the outside world first, and then make a decision whether to retreat or advance."
Xuanji was silent for a long time after hearing this, "You have said so much, Mr. Guo, but in the end you still want to use him like you used me."
"You are right," Guo Shouhuai admitted generously, "I need him as much as I need you, so I pushed him from behind and asked him to leave this library, no matter how nice I said it. , but the ultimate goal is to let him be used by me after releasing his talents."
"Because of the secret realm? Did something happen in the world outside?"
Guo Shouhuai was surprised, "It seems that you are smarter than I thought. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what is happening outside, or what is happening, but it is indeed the responsibility of me, the Young Supervisor of Si Tianjian, to solve it. .”
