As long as there are enough vests, the plot can't kill me
Chapter 118 The one who knows you best is often an outsider
Great Wilderness, Xianwu Academy.
"So, what did the little ancestor say?" Seeing the stern expression on the face of his own principal, Dean Wu on the side became a little nervous.
"I say, you old thing, you open your mouth and call me little ancestor, close your mouth and call me little girl, have you ever seen someone call me so affectionately?"
Principal Gu pursed his lips and insulted his old friend without any politeness.
However, his complexion did not improve, and the solemnity between his brows could not be dispelled.
"Old Wu, how much do you think the little girl knows to dare to offer a price of 50,000 high-grade spirit stones per person?"
"What, fifty thousand top grade?"
Dean Wu was shocked and frightened by this number.
“Old Gu, you and I both know the situation of the Lin family. Even if we include the Daqian Dynasty, it stands to reason that Miss Lin would not be able to access relevant information.
She has such a big appetite, could it be that she really guessed it?"
"That should be the case. That little girl is very smart."
It’s hard to say what adventures the little fox will have.
Thinking of Lin Xiao's connections and the Sword Saint's specialness, Old Gu did not find it surprising that the little girl could see through the sect's intentions.
There are many fools in this world, but there is no shortage of smart people either.
"Old Wu, please invite the guest in. Since the girl has set the price, we don't have to worry about it."
Dean Wu was stunned when he heard this. He did not take any action immediately. Instead, he looked deeply at his calm old friend.
"Have you made up your mind?"
"What's there to think about? We have no choice. Old friend, can you and I still hold on until the next millennium?"
"That being said, Lin Xiao is only a young girl in her twenties after all. Even if she has the ability, she may not have the heart to do it!"
Speaking of such a heavy topic as the millennium period, Dean Wu removed his filter for Lin Xiao and considered the issue more practically.
Even if another hundred years passed, he had the confidence to guide Young Master Lin step by step and slowly hand over the heavy responsibility to him.
But this time the millennium appointment was suddenly brought forward, and the Xianwu Academy was far from prepared.
"Old Wu, you've got your mind wandered to the wrong thing. It would be best if you didn't say anything."
Lao Gu had already decided to stick to his old path, and when he saw his old friend's puzzled look, he smiled smugly.
"You haven't seen that little girl, so you don't know her character at all. She hates being bound by justice and responsibility.
And...haha, do you want to know what she always says?"
"what?"
"Relationships cost money, hahaha!"
Does falling in love cost money?
Seeing his old friend enjoying himself so much, Old Wu was also amused by such slightly mercenary and playful remarks, and the image of a certain person in his mind gradually became three-dimensional.
"So, you plan to treat this as a simple transaction?"
"Yes, we will let the little girl do whatever she wants. She wants the right to speak in the school alliance, so let her do it. Young Master Lin is soft-hearted and will sooner or later become fed up with the sects that keep to themselves, and will not associate with those vampires in secret. We don't need to do anything."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Xianwu Academy will try not to interfere with the actions of the little ancestor."
"No, old fellow, you don't understand yet."
At this point, Principal Gu's expression turned serious again, and he spoke slowly in a tone as if he was making arrangements for his final affairs.
"If one day I am gone, my old friend, remember that a deal is just a deal. Don't have too many extravagant expectations, and don't show your disappointment in front of the little girl."
"You..." Dean Wu was greatly shocked. He wanted to dissuade her but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only smile bitterly, "Why is that?"
“Because the little girl may seem heartless, but in fact she is more principled than my brother.
Over the years, I have roughly figured out this principle, which is, 'Young Master Lin is unwilling to owe others from the bottom of his heart.'
Therefore, when doing business with her, we must learn to suffer losses. The more losses we suffer, the greater the rewards we will get in the future."
Everyone knows that Young Master Lin is generous, but few people know the reason behind it.
It took Lao Gu a long time to understand the secret.
Lin Xiao’s so-called business talent is far less shocking than the impact of his principles and persistence.
"You will find out later how particular a little girl is about being a person."
"Now that you put it like that, I can't wait any longer."
Dean Wu changed the subject, stood there in a daze for a moment, then took heavy steps to invite the long-waiting guests.
Principal Gu stared at his old friend's back, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and he fiddled with the communication talisman in his hand over and over again.
He thought about it again and again, and finally resisted the urge to send the message, and remained firm in his mind.
It is better to let the little girl discover the secret little by little by herself. Xianwu Academy and these old guys are all poor little things who can't even afford to eat!
"I've met your Majesty!"
"See senior!"
Heng Yue and Dean Wu walked into the principal's office side by side, and bowed the moment they saw Principal Gu.
His respectful attitude was completely different from when he was in Mofeng City.
Liu Wuyi and Gu Jiaojiao, who were following behind their elders, bowed directly, not daring to show the slightest expression on their faces.
"Well, don't be so polite, everyone sit down."
Although Old Gu's current appearance was no different from the white-haired old man in Lin Xiao's impression, there was still a hint of flattery on his face.
But he did not avoid the three people's bows at all and accepted them with dignity.
If Young Master Lin were present at this moment, he would be able to resolve some of the doubts in his heart in an instant.
The existence of the academic alliance is not for nothing. Her old friend is at least at the level of a Heavenly Venerate.
The fact that Heng Yue, who always puts the reputation of Wenxian Sect first, can make him bow his head, how much gold content does this Heavenly Venerable have? It is enough to scare people to death if you tell others about it.
"Your Majesty, regarding the admission of the two juniors, what do you mean?"
Facing such powerful beings who had to be treated with great caution by the two Heavenly Lords, Heng Yue did not dare to be negligent and did not make any annoying polite gestures.
Seeing this, Lao Gu smiled playfully and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
"This... we have no problem, but the Xianwu Academy is located in a remote area, and I'm afraid that it will be unfair to your sect's genius."
Hearing that the other party did not refuse outright, Heng Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. As the saying goes, if jade is not polished, it cannot be made into a useful object. These two children made a big mistake the first time they went down the mountain. The Heavenly Master wanted to let them experience some training and go through more things."
"Oh, since Wanfa has spoken, what else can an old man like me say? Let them enroll today!"
"Your Majesty, that is not what I meant."
Before that breath died down, the powerful man from the Wenxian Sect immediately became nervous.
When one's strength reaches Principal Gu's level, he will not joke around and any words cannot be ignored.
"Your Majesty, the Wenxian Sect has no intention of forcing me to do anything. This time, the Heavenly Venerable ordered me to take a detour through the Dan Sect to show my sincerity."
After that, something similar to a form appeared in front of Principal Gu.
When Dean Wu saw this thing, he blinked his eyes and immediately felt refreshed physically and mentally.
If it were before, faced with a considerable number of Qi Gathering Pills, the Xianwu Academy might really not be able to resist the temptation.
After all, even if you don’t just think about yourself, you also have to consider our sister schools that share the same affiliation.
Their situation is more difficult than our own.
But now, haha...
"Principal, this is Danzong's transaction document!"
The old friend's exaggerated acting skills almost made Principal Gu laugh out loud.
He casually glanced at the amount on the document, and cursed Wanfa in his heart for being stingy and not having the magnanimity of a great celestial being.
If Young Master Lin were to do this, I'm afraid the numbers on the document would be left blank and left for Xianwu Academy to fill in themselves.
From this we can see that Wanfa is not a good person!
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. Old Wu, take the two young friends down to settle down."
"Yes, principal."
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
Hearing the word "young friend", Heng Yue's heart trembled. He quickly took out a ring from his pocket and placed it respectfully on the table.
However, Old Gu didn't even raise his eyelids, and just picked up the teacup and acted as if he was seeing the guest off.
He neither accepted it nor refused it.
Heng Yue tactfully stood up and said goodbye to the younger generation, and followed Dean Wu obediently out of the principal's office.
During this process, Principal Gu was so absorbed in his official duties that he didn't even notice when the guests left.
After a long time, Old Wu, who had finished his work, turned around. His eyes kept moving back and forth between the ring on the table and his old friend, and curiosity grew on his face.
"Hiss, Lao Gu, we accepted their things, why are you..."
"Why do you have to give Hengyue a hard time?"
Principal Gu put down the blank book in his hand, his eyes unconsciously fell on the ring with extraordinary workmanship, and suddenly he smiled.
"Keep this ring safe. If you ever need it, you can use it to make a deal with the little girl."
transaction?
Dean Wu was no fool. He immediately figured out why his old friend was acting so abnormally today and was actually using his power to bully others.
Is this a special trip to vent the anger of the little ancestor?
"Tsk tsk, if you have this intention, why do you have to be a villain? Can't you just send it to the little girl?"
"You think I don't want to?"
Old Gu shook his head helplessly, feeling like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog but not knowing where to start.
If you're being too attentive for no reason, won't Miss Lin be on guard against you like a thief?
Principal Gu believed in his own judgment and could only pretend to be pitiful towards the little girl.
When she can't stand it anymore, she will naturally take action.
Young Master Lin's heart is definitely made of 100% flesh and blood, as it can make the ordinary people of Shanglin City stick with him.
"Old Wu, you said that the Millennium Agreement has been advanced by two rounds. Should we be anxious, or have those people outside sensed something?"
After a moment's silence, Lao Gu's question was raised in a firm tone in the room.
Is it that something has happened that scares them or even makes them unable to control it?
Or rather, people?
