Ah Zhao: “!”
Wasn’t he taken over by hallucinations?
Why does he still remember that?
As a powerful champion, Ah Zhao doesn’t find her looks as convincing so she found herself a cloak to appear mysterious .
Since it has taken her a lot of efforts to build herself as a mysterious and powerful senior one to the male lead, she isn’t going to ruin that image of hers!
Thinking of that, she says indifferently: “What beautiful girl? I have been here all this time and haven’t seen any beautiful girl . ”
Gu Hao is dumbfounded and thinks to himself that it might just have been a dream, thinking of which, his heart sinks .
Seeing him like that, Ah Zhao snorts coldly: “I’ve spent a thousand years looking for you and have given you the rare true blood of ancient phoenix when I found you . Well, do you think I did that to let you get lost in love?”
Gu Hao is shaken by her word and turns ashamed: “It’s my bad, senior one . ”
He is an apprentice of kung fu . How could he fill his mind with some beautiful girl? The right thing for him to do is to work hard on practicing kung fu .
Only by now does Ah Zhao nod . “You are now at the top level of a pract.i.tioner . I have a book of kung fu for you . ”
At the top level of a pract.i.tioner?
Gu Hao is shocked: “I’m at the top level of a pract.i.tioner?”
Looking at his hands suspiciously, he suddenly stretches out one of them, clenching his fist and hitting the ground hard .
A ray of orange spirit power s.h.i.+nes from his fist .
To put it more specifically, it is more of a color that is converging to gold rather than orange, only that there are a few traces of orange in it .
This does imply that he has reached the top level of a pract.i.tioner .
“Bang!”
Stones fly all over the place and his fist has made a pit about 15 cm deep in the ground .
Staring blankly at that pit, his feelings are quite complex for a moment .
Turning around excitedly, he looks at Ah Zhao: “Senior one, I . . . ”
Ah Zhao lifts her hand to stop him and asks an irrelevant question: “Do you have any money?”
Gu Hao: “Ah?”
What is the senior one talking about? Is she hinting at something?
Ah Zhao is indeed reminding him of one thing . “This yard is the best single yard of the most expensive inn in Ancient City . If you destroy one thing you have to compensate ten times of its value . ”
Gu Hao: “ . . . ”
Pointing at the pit in the ground, she adds: “I think you might have to give the inn a lot of crystal stones over this . ”
Gu Hao: “ . . . ”
The Gu Clan is wealthy but it has to provide for many disciples in the direct line as well .
Those with a good background and talent have abundant allowance but Gu Hao isn’t talented at all, besides his parents died a long time ago .
So, reaching into his sleeves, he only gets one thing straight: he is poor .
Looking at the pit in the ground, he hesitates and says: “Is it okay if I get some earth and cover it up?”
Ah Zhao: “ . . . ”
In the end, Gu Hao doesn’t go and dig up any earth since Ah Zhao pays the compensation for him .
“Remember to pay me back . ” Ah Zhao says .
Gu Hao nods and thinks this senior one in grey is indeed a nice person .
How could he consider her a hoax at the beginning? He was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure back then .
Having paid the bills, Ah Zhao decides to bring the male lead to somewhere else where he will find another opportunity of his .
However, Gu Hao is hesitant . “I want to, go back to the manor first . ”
Though he hasn’t enjoyed his time there, but it is the Gu Clan that has brought him up .
Before leaving with his senior one, he has to tell his uncle about it and share the good news that he has become a pract.i.tioner with his uncle .
