"Principal Dugu, let me take my leave first."
After talking about everything, Gu Chen bid farewell to Duguyi.
Duguyi delivered it to the door in person. The thoughtful etiquette was not like treating a student. Nie Yuanzheng next to him was getting angry.
After walking out of the pine forest, Nie Yuanzheng finally couldn't help it, and his face darkened.
"Gu Chen, Dean Dugu treats you with courtesy, you should also know yourself."
Gu Chen was stunned when he heard the words, "Why did you say that?"
He thought that there was nothing wrong with his previous conversation.
"Although you are polite on the surface, you actually don't have the slightest respect for the dean. Don't think I can't see it."
Nie Yuanzheng snorted heavily, "Maybe you really have some talent, otherwise the dean would not have valued you so much, but the dean is an elder with high morals, you should respect him more."
Gu Chen couldn't help laughing, this Nie Yuanzheng looked like a rough man, but he didn't expect that he also had a careful side.
In his capacity, Duguyi is just a younger generation, so of course he would not have the feeling of respect.
Although he was very polite on the surface, he couldn't hide the pride in his bones and didn't bother to hide it.
Nie Yuanzheng respects Dean Dugu very much, and he is aware of this, so it is normal to feel dissatisfied with him.
Gu Chen didn't care about it, didn't respond, and left in a different direction from Denghuang Pagoda.
"Wait, where are you going? Did you understand what I said?"
Nie Yuanzheng quickly followed, Gu Chen's attitude made him even more upset.
"Go back to the dormitory."
Gu Chen replied casually.
"Don't go back to Denghuang Pagoda? The practice room in Denghuang Pagoda is much better than the dormitory. You finally got the right to live in the practice room. Is it such a waste?"
Nie Yuanzheng frowned. This person is not only young and frivolous and disrespectful to his teacher, he also doesn't work hard enough. Why does the dean value him so much?
Not only promised to let him take the teleportation array together, but even sent him to the door when he left. This kind of treatment is not given to the heads of the three major families!
He couldn't figure it out, and he was dissatisfied!
"I'm sleepy, go back and have a rest."
Gu Chen perfunctorily said that the reason why he didn't go back to the training room was because the situation of the thunder egg had been found out, and it would be more convenient to make some arrangements outside.
It's just that there's no need to tell Nie Yuanzheng about these things, this young man is very serious, it's better to stay away.
"Young people don't work hard, and the boss is sad! If you want to waste your time, I won't stop you."
"Remember, next time if I find that you don't respect the headmaster enough, I will ask you for advice and see if you are really that proud!"
Nie Yuanzheng's eyes widened, and he shouted at Gu Chen, who turned his back to him and left, waving his hands gracefully.
...
After Gu Chen left, Duguyi's face was cloudy for a long time, then he left his house and quietly came to the library.
On the top floor of Zangshu Pavilion, Elder Zeng Ge, who was practicing in seclusion, sensed Duguyi's arrival, opened his eyes, and got up quickly. "Dean, why are you here?"
Duguyi looked at Elder Zeng Ge with a serious expression.
"Have you taken Du'edan? Is it hitting the bottleneck?"
Elder Zeng Ge nodded with a smile on his face.
"I've taken one so far, and the effect is very good. I plan to take the rest in the next few days, and hit the bottleneck in one go."
Mr. Zeng Ge was very grateful to Duguyi.
If Duguyi hadn't sent Zhu Jing to support him in time that day, he wouldn't have been able to take this bottle of Du'edan smoothly.
If he can successfully advance to the Celestial Phenomena Realm this time, Duguyi will be his greatest benefactor!
"Take it easy for now, the old man has something for you to do."
Dugu Yi sighed.
"Did something happen?"
Elder Zeng Ge was startled at first, then his expression became serious.
His matter of breaking through the bottleneck of the Celestial Realm is very important. If there were not more urgent matters, he knew that Dean Dugu would not say so.
"The old man suspects that something big will happen during the final exam. If there is any danger at that time, the old man needs you to take the students with you and retreat in the teleportation formation."
Duguyi said seriously.
"I don't know what the danger is? Is the source reliable?"
Elder Zeng Ge asked, the situation in Leiyu has been very tense this year, they had already guessed that something would happen sooner or later, otherwise they would not have been sending talented people to the world.
"Just today, a student came to the old man and gave the old man some reminders."
Duguyi told about Gu Chen's visit to his house today.
"From what the dean said, this student is a bit weird, but it doesn't mean anything just because he told the dean to be ready to activate the teleportation array at any time? Didn't the dean ask clearly?"
Old Zeng Ge was thoughtful.
"Hey, the old man tried it, but this man doesn't look like a young man at all. He's old and cunning. He only wants to stop. The old man sent him outside the door on purpose. He asked a few times on the way, but he just refused to say anything!"
Dugu Yi blew his beard and stared.
"With the dean's temperament, it shouldn't be just because of a student's reminder that you are so worried?"
Elder Zeng Ge pondered.
"What you don't know is that this student has just entered the academy. Although he is only at the Jinjian Realm, his understanding of the way of the sword is enough to compete against a monk at the Mysterious Mysterious Realm."
"The old man doesn't know anything about his previous background, but the words of a person with this level of talent must not be ignored. Maybe he has some great background, or he has some channels and information that we don't know about."
"The most important thing is that the old man saw the competition between him and the students of Liuyun Academy before. After the students of Liuyun Academy lost to him, they used some kind of secret method that could skyrocket their cultivation in a short period of time. The old man watched, like The secret method in the army!"
In the military?
Elder Zeng Ge's heart shuddered, and he understood which army he was referring to from the fear in Duguyi's eyes.
"Although I don't have any position in the academy, I still have some understanding of the big and small things in the academy. The communication with Liuyun Academy this time was a bit abrupt. After realizing that the student in Liuyun Academy was abnormal , the old man observed carefully, hey, I found that more than one student was wrong."
"Originally, everything was just suspicion and there was no evidence. The old man didn't dare to think too much about it, but Gu Chen's reminder today made the old man sure that something must happen."
Dugu Yi let out a long sigh.
Elder Zeng Ge quickly digested the shocking news, "If something is going to happen, shouldn't we remind the academy?"
"Reminders are of course necessary, but there must be spies in the three major families. If the matter is brought to the fore, it will definitely scare the snake. This will prevent you from having enough time to retreat."
Duguyi said, this matter is not only afraid of scaring the snake, but the three aristocratic families have deliberately used him to isolate him in the past two years, and they will not trust his words for things that have no evidence.
"Us? Dean, won't you retreat with us?"
Elder Zeng Ge heard the meaning behind Duguyi's words, and immediately became anxious.
"The old man can't go."
Duguyi shook his head, "It is my responsibility and promise to protect my human race's talents. But this old man is not only the teacher of the human race, but also the teacher of all the students in this Nihuang Academy."
"There is no discrimination in teaching, no matter what race the students are, as long as they have not graduated from the academy, I will be responsible for their lives and safety."
Elder Zeng Ge was silent all of a sudden, he wanted to persuade, but he understood Dean Dugu's character.
He will never leave the students alone to flee for their lives. If Nihuang Academy is really in trouble, he will desperately protect the last student until the last moment!
Such a good dean, but became a victim of being squeezed out by the Emperor Luosun tribe, and was oppressed by the three great families.
He is obviously not the dean anymore, but he still misses all the students!
"I understand the headmaster, please rest assured to leave the retreat to me. You must be careful with the three aristocratic families."
Elder Zeng Ge assured that his task was much easier than Dean Dugu's.
"Don't worry, the old man will negotiate with someone you can trust, and make preparations in advance!"
Duguyi nodded.
