During that era, they treated a blind man like trash.

But relying on my uniqueness, I caught the eye of our country and achieved this status that I now enjoy.

Elder Gong explained certain things in a few mere words.

Of course, he emphasized nothing.

But Gu Qingjiu had a feeling Elder Gong was trying to remind her of something.

But before she made sense of it, Elder Gong continued, Of course, Im not saying you dont have any talent. To take fewer detours is a kind of talent as well. Its just that such talent isnt enough for you to shine at the international competitions.

Calming down, Gu Qingjiu said with a docile expression, Im willing to listen to the guidance of Elder Gong.

Since she was here to learn, Elder Gongs words were beneficial to her.

Elder Gong groomed Yin Ruoyi, so it couldnt possibly be bad for her to receive guidance under him.

Theres plenty of time for me to guide you!

Elder Gong let out an emotional sigh, then pointed at the door. You can go back first. Come back during the weekends. You dont have to take part in that outdoor shooting activity anymore. Youll only be bullying others.

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Although Gu Qingjiu felt like laughing at that last sentence, Elder Gong had merely spoken a few sentences to her

And yet he didnt even give any useful tips or guidance.

And he was letting her leave now?

Though stunned, there was nothing Gu Qingjiu could do about it.

She could only respond, Yes, thank you for your guidance today, Teacher.

Guidance? Cant quite call it that. You merely heard me grumble a little

So those words that sounded so deep were just you grumbling about things?

Unsure whether to laugh or to cry, Gu Qingjiu had no choice but to leave the place for now.

Elder Gong asked someone to send Gu Qingjiu back as he had promised earlier.

But by the time she got back, school time would have ended.

After some thought, Gu Qingjiu decided not to go back.

In any case, she received a new order to come over to train during the weekends, going forward.

This gave her a legitimate reason not to go back.

Even so, she had to call Instructor Xiong to see if they allowed her not to go back immediately for the day.

And also, to convey the words her teacher just said to her.

After all, since the Chief Instructor wasnt around now, Gu Qingjiu couldnt be as casual about applying for leave anymore.

Xiong Xuejian readily agreed to let Gu Qingjiu stay out, so long as she went back on Sunday.

After leaving that place, Gu Qingjiu arrived at the city center and made a phone call to Yu Baoer.

The moment Yu Baoer heard Gu Qingjiu was in the capital, she asked her to wait for her at her place.

Since Gu Qingjiu had been to Yu Baoers house, she knew where it was, so she went there in a cab.

Yu Baoer was in school at that moment. She was a Year 1 university student, just like Gu Qingjiu.

She would only come back after her lessons had ended.

Although Gu Qingjiu didnt have the keys to Yu Baoers home, she only waited for a while before Yu Baoer rushed back.

Only

She wore a white sheer dress today and a fashionable pink backpack. Her hair had already gone over her shoulders.

When she came back, a teddy bear pendant in her backpack swung from side to side as Yu Baoer ran.

Only then did Gu Qingjiu realize the carefree and cheerful girl she used to know seemed to have the vibrancy of a young lady now.

This was in contrast to Gu Qingjiu, who was slightly glum today.

Aiyah Qingjiu, have you been waiting for long?

Yu Baoer seemed embarrassed when she saw Gu Qingjiu. I should have asked you to come over later.

She immediately took out her keys. But just then, she turned her head dubiously. Are you in a bad mood?
