Just opened the door.
Gu Xi had already barged in, dragging Xu Lingjun outside.
"What... what is that outfit?"
Xu Lingjun looked at Gu Xi, who was wearing a dinosaur pajama revealing two bare legs, and suddenly rembered what Li Yun had said before... Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is so cold that the thinner you dress, the stronger you are.
So is she showing off her strength to ?
Gu Xi said, "You’ve been fooled, co with , I’ll help you return the place. A room costing 200 academic credits a year, what normal person would live there?"
As she spoke, she was forcefully tugging Xu Lingjun to the door.
"Why return it?"
Xu Lingjun asked in surprise.
"Because it’s expensive, not worth it. Two people per room is already spacious enough. If you really can’t, you can live with ... Living in a big single room by yourself, are you trying to show off how affluent you are? Where do normal people live in single rooms?"
As they were talking.
The door opposite opened.
A slender girl wearing a black shirt and jeans ca out, hugging a chubby orange cat.
She bumped right into Xu Lingjun and Gu Xi.
Gu Xi: "............"
"See, now there’s another one?"
Xu Lingjun greeted with a smile: "Li Jingjun, long ti no see."
"Yes, Xu Tongxue, long ti no see."
Li Jingjun responded politely.
As she blinked her eyes, her small face quickly turned bright red to the naked eye, instinctively trying to hide the cat behind her.
But the orange cat was too fat, and her slender waist couldn’t cover it.
She could only mutter, "I... I just thought the single environnt is nice, it allows to imrse myself more in cultivation, that’s why I spent 200 academic credits on this single flat. I definitely didn’t choose a single room just for the convenience of raising a cat. This, this, this... this isn’t mine, I just found it, and it looked pitiful, so I’m temporarily keeping it in my room, and I’m planning to find it a suitable owner."
Xu Lingjun’s eyes lit up, thinking, good news?
Source Value?
He smiled, "A stray cat? Actually, I really like cats, why don’t you let take care of it, it’ll count as a good deed."
Li Jingjun: "............"
"Ah, suddenly rembered I haven’t run my cultivation technique today, goodbye."
She turned around and closed the door.
The movent was smooth and flowing.
Xu Lingjun looked at Gu Xi and asked, "Instructor Gu, what were we just talking about?"
"Sorry, it’s my fault."
Gu Xi apologized: "As far as I know, there’s only one train from Fangyi City directly to Beixuan Station, and it only arrives at 11 PM... So I thought I could nap a bit, then go pick you up at 8 PM, which is actually totally on ti."
Xu Lingjun: "Your nap lasts till 8 PM?"
"That’s not the point. The point is... who knew you would co by a special car. If it weren’t for a friend calling , saying they saw the Dragon Gate Champion Scholar handling the paperwork all alone, I wouldn’t have known you already arrived."
Gu Xi said angrily: "Is your wife’s soft rice that tasty?"
She waved her hand and said, "Never mind, it’s my fault. Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion is disconnected from the outside world recently, I couldn’t be by your side imdiately... You might not know, if a new student doesn’t select a teaching assistant right away, they’re easily bullied. For example, they might lure you into spending more academic credits through words, since they get commissions. For instance, a 200 academic credits room, are you dumb enough to dare live there? Your academic credits are already reduced by half."
"That senior Duan Long talked to about the pros and cons, but I personally think it’s more suitable for to live there."
Gu Xi said coldly, "Duan Long, huh? I’ll rember him. He dares to deceive my student, it seems he wants to experience Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion’s dical facilities."
"Achoo!"
At this mont, Duan Long, who was delivering an eloquent speech to a student, couldn’t help sneezing.
He scratched his nose and thought, is it that student I previously fooled cursing ?
Or did the Dragon Gate Champion Scholar already understand my good intentions, silently grateful?
Xu Lingjun sighed, "Honestly, it’s mainly because I have a lot of stuff, college dorms aren’t quite suitable."
"You call this a few... wait... why so much?"
Gu Xi stood at the door, shocked looking at the room that had completely changed with personal items everywhere.
She exclaid, "Did you move your whole house here?"
Xu Lingjun said, "No, just so daily essentials."
"Do you really think it’s necessary to live here?"
"Li Jingjun scored lower than , and she’s living here too... Trust , I’m not here to enjoy, it’s really purely necessary."
"Alright then, it’s up to you. After all, it’s your academic credits, you decide. I’m just a teaching assistant, not a nanny."
Gu Xi sighed and asked, "You didn’t get the highest food package at the cafeteria, did you?"
Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "No, I didn’t."
"That’s good."
Xu Lingjun: "I’m not that naive to listen to soone and imdiately spend over a hundred academic credits. I decided to taste first before spending..."
Gu Xi: "............"
She said speechlessly, "The quality of als in these days might be pretty good, but mostly it’s just ordinary blood and flesh of all heavens’ mysterious races... With those academic credits, couldn’t you buy so weapons or elixirs or potion resources?"
"Besides, the cafeteria’s cooking... well, it’s hard to describe, soone as poor as buys a year plan for 50 credits and then eats out. Consider it paying rent while living at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion every year."
"Okay, I’ll be careful then."
"So... not changing the room?"
"Not changing."
"Alright."
Gu Xi heaved a long sigh, kicked off her slippers, and entered Xu Lingjun’s room.
Sighed, "You’re really luxurious, and you’re running low on those 500 credits now, right?"
"It’s okay, academic credits and money are pretty much the sa, just earn more if you run out."
Xu Lingjun asked, "By the way, Instructor Gu..."
"Just call Sister Xi."
Gu Xi waved her hand and said, "You’re my only student, and I’ll be depending on you in the future, besides I’m not fit to be a ntor... call Sister Xi, I’m several years older so it’s fair enough to be called sister."
"Alright, Sister Xi."
Xu Lingjun said, "Since you’re not really late, is there any paperwork I haven’t completed?"
"Pretty much everything has been processed. As of now, you’re a qualified new student at Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion. Life here is quite laid-back, but rember not to relax too much. On the surface, life here seems laid-back, but actually, if you slack off, you’ll get kicked out next year, and you won’t receive your completion certificate without spending four years here."
Gu Xi sighed, "Fortunately, you haven’t been tricked much. Besides this room, everything else was necessary expenses... No extra academic credits were wasted, oh, and on your way here, no one bullied you, right?"
Xu Lingjun said, "No, I said I already have a teaching assistant, it’s Gu Xi, and then they looked at with particular sympathy. Even a senior insisted on helping with my luggage, saying if they don’t help now, there won’t be any chances later... um, they treated very tenderly..."
Though it felt like the tenderness one shows to soone about to die.
He felt he understood why Gu Xi couldn’t find students.
Under such circumstances, with this kind of reputation, finding one would be miraculous.
"Heh..."
Gu Xi sighed gently and collapsed onto the sofa in Xu Lingjun’s living room.
Sighed, "Seems like my reputation is thoroughly ruined. So, are you regretting it?"
"Even if I regret it, it’s too late, and besides, I don’t regret it."
Xu Lingjun smiled, "I’m quite confident in my survival skills."
"Aren’t you curious?"
Gu Xi smiled, "Why my reputation is so bad?"
"Why?"
"Let tell you, since you’re here, I naturally have to let you know the truth."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "I have to let you know why I’m so insistent on having you as my student. For a long ti, we might be in a bound state. I need to rely on you, might even have thoughts of using you, but I bear no ill intention. I don’t want any misunderstandings between us, causing any grievances. We might be in this together for a long ti, and it’s essential for us to understand each other."
