The pig trotter’s movement was too fast, Gu Bai was fast as well, but there were still things he didn’t know.
Though it was probably because the grass mud horses[1] running across his brain were too wild, he was able to dodge it.
Then he heard an old voice, “Huh? Not bad, kid.”
Qi Guan Rui was able to see it all very clearly since he stood on the side.
He hadn’t wanted to disturb the look of Zi Ju Shu Bai enjoying the beautiful view, but when his eyes blurred, he suddenly saw a shadow flying by.
Yet he couldn’t react fast enough.
Qi Guan Rui thought that he, himself, might be a little violent.
Zi Ju Shu Bai was being attacked by someone right in front of him, yet he couldn’t help him……
How could he accept that?
In the next moment, he saw an old man appear in front of Gu Bai.
A dry-looking, skinny as a stick, old man.
But the pressure from the old man was immense, in the deepest part of his blood, a deep sensation of hunger emerged.
He needed power, needed to devour, needed…….
Being completely different from all of Qi Guan Rui’s dark thoughts, when Gu Bai saw the dry old man, three huge words appeared in his head.
WHAT, THE, FUCK?!
He’d forgotten that there was a bone testing after the power checking!
So, what had happened just now, wasn’t just some pig trotter coming to touch his bone?! But then again, he was the governor of a city, how could he just let someone touch him randomly, that was horrible for his image!
The worst thing was that this was supposed to happen when the psycho protagonist came, and a beautiful teacher touched his bone, but why was it an old man when it came to him?!
Even though he surely wasn’t interested in real-life people, the difference between a beautiful woman and an old man was freaking big, okay?!
No matter how much Gu Bai roared inside, his face still remained the same. As he looked at the old man, he also spoke coldly, “Who are you?”
The old man touched his short beard, “My old self is the Zhishi[2] of this academy, the surname is Fang, I’m here to test the bones of the new students.”
Gu Bai looked back with his dead fisheyes.
I really don’t want to be touched by an old man, there was obviously another way, just take it out already old man!
Old Man Fang looked at Gu Bai kindly for a while then steadily took out a transparent object from his pocket, it seemed like a flute with many little holes on top of it.
He said, “Since you don’t want your bones to be felt, then cast your martial energy inside of this and the results will emerge.”
All geniuses had tempers. In reality, except for those being touched by beautiful women and some thick-skulled people, most people wouldn’t like their body to be touched all over. So, under those kinds of circumstances, the academy that upheld humanized logic specially developed this method of testing, in order to protect the geniuses’ pride and ego.
..….Of course, this kind of treatment would definitely be expected for the levels of Wu Jun. But if someone was a Wu Zhe level or only slightly above…….then, that pride or ego and whatever, herher, we can give a discount at the least.
Gu Bai saw the tube and grabbed it with his hand.
Just as he was sending his martial energy in, it was visible to the naked eyes that the little holes on the tube lit up.
One, two, three……when it reached the twenty-third one, it stopped.
This body of Gu Bai’s[3], as expected, it was not full to twenty-four.
This was complete high-tech, it couldn’t be more accurate!
When Old Man Fang saw, he nodded, satisfied, “A twenty-three-year-old High-Level Wu Jun, kid, you’re above qualified.”
As for the few disrespectful moves from the genius earlier, he ignored them too.
Gu Bai stared at Old Man Fang for a long time, yet still couldn’t think of who he was.
So, he probably just……didn’t have an identity.
Or at least, wasn’t carefully described in the original novel.
But since the other had proclaimed himself the “academy Zhishi”……then it was probably one of the rough details of the Ten Great Zhishis that the world automatically filled in itself.
So, it had nothing to do with the protagonist.
Did that mean it was safe?
Gu Bai thought, the Great Ten Zhishis of the academy equaled the ten major lecturers, since he was within the safety range, then there was no need to keep his distance.
Old Man Fang smiled as he asked, “Kid, aren’t you curious as to why only you could enter?”
Gu Bai was expressionless, “It will all become clear later.”
Herher, I knew it all from the beginning, do I need you to explain?
Thinking of that, it was another sad and tragic history.
When Gu Bai had first stepped on the stallion path, in order for his rookie work not to be spat on, he coughed out his heart, sweated blood, used all his efforts and hard work, looked over eight hundred ancient porn books, thousands of modern porn videos. He researched conscientiously, there had been nowhere for him to relax.
For the effect of great smut, he pushed the needle in every hole he saw, in every scene, there was smut inserted.
So, coming to the academy at this time was no exception either. Before Wang Yingluo, in the process of the protagonist entering, he’d obviously also experienced the bone testing to check his actual skills.
For something as ambiguous as bone touching, of course, a beauty was needed.
But if there were too many people there, then how was the protagonist gonna get the woman? To be seen by the other students, that definitely wasn’t fine!
So, the skill-showing stone door wasn’t only the first part of testing, but it was also a portal.
Just as the name stated, after everyone pushed open the door, everyone entered a different place.
…Don’t ask why, in this world, that was neither a cultivation world nor magic world, would have a portal, that kind of unscientific things didn’t need to be explained.
Gu Bai’s thought: ‘I’m the author, I have the biggest say. Whatever I say is there, it’s there, even if it isn’t, it is.
While the protagonist was being touched over and over, he felt the sexual urge, so of course, he also did it with the sexy teacher there.
But the teacher was simply a teacher, after all, she was also very young and didn’t have much connection with the students of the inner academy. So, the beautiful teacher helped introduce a high-leveled teacher to the protagonist, she successfully fulfilled her role, became one of the protagonist’s concubines, then didn’t appear again for a long, long time.
Basically, drowned in the great sea of concubines ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Old Man Fang didn’t know about Gu Bai’s habit of zoning off, seeing how calm and collected the other was, he complimented him on the inside.
After they’d check his background and knew that he didn’t have any bad blood with students already within the academy, then they could accept him without a doubt.
But first, he needed to leave a good impression, just in case, he got snatched away by someone else.
With such intentions, the Old Man Fang didn’t stall anymore, flipped his palm and passed over a little token.
Gu Bai took it, then lowered his head to look.
It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! This thing was the legendary student ID! Also known as the “Permit Token[4]”, it seemed very high quality!
This texture, this look, it was exactly the same as he’d written it.
Ever since he’d graduated from college and hadn’t continued to study, only staying holed up in his own house, the moment that student Gu Bai saw the token, he remembered the bitter events of high school again.
Suddenly, he felt very proud.
I’m a transfer student now, oh no, rather, I should be called an advanced student.
I’m now studying at an exclusive school and am definitely not short of any money!
If I want to eat a drumstick then I get a drumstick, if I want to gnaw on two duck necks then I gnaw on two duck necks, I even have people help me wash my hands and wipe my mouth afterward!
I’m not afraid of wasting! I’m someone who also has underlings!
No one detected Gu Bai’s wild thoughts, Old Man Fang led the way as he showed him the academy. For this new student who was able to keep his composure despite either good or bad treatment, or rather, just one with more of a cold personality, it truly made him think the other was mature and extremely accountable.
Soon, the two stopped in front of a courtyard.
The courtyard was oddly huge, inside of it were large houses all next to each other.
After entering the courtyard, there were also many small courtyards within the larger one. Every small courtyard was distanced quite far away, in order to offer all the great youths who came to learn, enough space to conveniently court chicks. The soundproof system was also extremely great, even if one’s scream could break the sky, it wouldn’t travel from one room to the other.
Old Man Fang took them to the front of the little courtyard, shook his leg then left.
Gu Bai watched as he left, once again looking at the little courtyard, a little bit of conflict appeared in his eyes.
Wasn’t this scene a bit familiar?
…….Wait.
Gu Bai suddenly remembered the inn they went to before, except that the person who led them was different, the living environment was about the same. One courtyard had many courtyards inside, and the important customers lived in courtyards by themselves, this was obviously a repeated pattern.
……This was the tragedy of a poor describer, no matter how many rough drafts edited, there was always something similar in the final product.
All the maps seemed to be the same as well.
The little courtyard was obviously different, except for the one master bedroom and two guest rooms, there was a line of little single rooms on either side of the master’s, those were the servant’s rooms.
The four female servants quickly figured it out and took two rooms on the left of the master’s and two on the right, ready to provide their service at any time.
But as for where to put Qi Guan Rui, it was a little difficult.
Should he let him live in the servant room? No, he wouldn’t want him to either.
Should he let him live in the guest room? But the guest rooms were a bit far from the master’s……
Gu Bai became even more hesitant.
Qi Guan Rui’s had shiny puppy eyes, “Gege……”
Gu Bai, “……What?”
You brat, don’t think just because of your eye attacks, I wouldn’t be harsh on you!
Qi Guan Rui, “I want to live with Gege.”
Gu Bai, “……”
How old are you, trying to act cute, do you really want to be suspected as being gay?
Qi Guan Rui, “Didn’t Gege and I live very well together in the carriage?”
Gu Bai: “……”
That was because there was no place else, so it benefited you, now that there is room, why is there a need to continue to squish together? Once a child grows up, they would learn to leave their parents (→not actually)!
Qi Guan Rui, “I can watch over Gege at night, Gege and I also slept together at the Tian Du Cheng ……”
Gu Bai: “…….”
That’s because it was at home, can being outside be the same? It’s okay to be a bit casual at home, but now that we’re outside, be a bit more serious, brat!
Qi Guan Rui, “Gege……”
Gu Bai lost completely.
He said, “I’ll leave a bed for you outside the room.”
Qi Guan Rui turned his head, “What about sleeping at night?”
Gu Bai “……You can come in and sleep with me.”
Qi Guan Rui smiled satisfyingly, his smile was very soft.
Gu Bai’s face twisted inside.
Okay, even though it felt too gay, but seeing how much he was being relied on, he decided to forgive Gu Xiao Shan.
It was normal now for him to be needy of love since he’d been abused like that as a kid, as the elder brother, it was alright to share some love and brighten him up.
