杜达雄大鸟

Chapter 197 My Direct Apprentice! (4)

It is the sovereign’s intent to keep Gao Ge in the Cloud Climbing Stairs.

Three days later, he leaves the Cloud Climbing Stairs because the spiritual jades have been used up.

To his surprise, when he comes back, he finds that there is a decrease in the number of the students.

As to Daotu, he cannot find this man.

“Where have the people of the Heaven School gone?” Gao Ge immediately asks Yan Chao after returning to his room.

Yan Chao signs and says, “The sovereign and the second honorable elder went downhill with a group of students yesterday. I have no idea where they have gone and when they will come back.”

Gao Ge frowns and falls into thought.

Yan Chao laughs, “But it is none of our business.”

Gao Ge asks, “Even if the Heaven School totally collapses, is it also none of your business?”

Yan Chao stares at Gao Ge with widened eyes.

Probably it is because he can’t understand why Gao Ge said that.

Gao Ge shakes his head and doesn’t intend to talk with Yan Chao anymore.

He goes to the hall only to see Daoyuan.

“What are you doing here?” Daoyuan has been disgruntled by Gao Ge before so he naturally pulls a long face upon the sight of this young man. Seeing his face, Gao Ge can’t help thinking whether the man before him is under the animal sign of donkey.

“I come here to ask for spiritual jades.” Gao Ge says.

“Spiritual jades?” Daoyuan is surprised and asks, “Are the spiritual jades that the sovereign gave you before all used up?”

Gao Ge nods his head.

Daoyuan is so pissed off.

“Do you think the Heaven School is an easy mark and you can just ask for as many spiritual jades as you want?”

In fact, Daoyuan’s attitude is not surprising to Gao Ge.

If it were Daotu, he wouldn’t say so much and just brought the spiritual jades over here.

“Only more spiritual jades can help the grandmaster recover soon.” Gao Ge says.

“Hmm. Then I can tell you now, no spiritual jades for you! If you really need them, just wait until the sovereign is back.”

Gao Ge asks instantly, “Where is the sovereign? When will he be back?”

“Why does it matter to you? You will know after he comes back.” Daoyuan says impatiently.

Gao Ge keeps silent for a moment. Then he nods his head and turns around to leave.

He goes to the Cloud Climbing Stairs directly.

After he arrives, he looks rather gloomy and worried.

He sits on the chair and keeps sighing.

Master Guanshan is confused about Gao Ge’s look, asking, “Didn’t you say that you went back to fetch some spiritual jades? How come you return with nothing? And it is not the worst. You keep sighing in front of me. As a man nearly 200 years old, I don’t sigh as much as you do.”

Gao Ge takes a look at Master Guanshan. He wants to say something but then stops.

He must have something to say but he just can’t.

Master Guanshan says in a deep voice, “There is nothing you can’t tell me.”

“It is not a big deal. Yet, you are not healed. Even if I tell you, it is of no help but makes you worried.”

“Tell me!”

Gao Ge coughs, saying, “After I went back to the Heaven School, I found that the sovereign and the second honorable elder were gone. Besides, many students are not in the school either. Only the third honorable elder is in charge of the school’s matter. I asked him for some spiritual jades but he rejected my request and told me to wait till the sovereign was back.”

Master Guanshan takes a deep breath and stays silent for a while.

Then he stands up and walks towards the stairs.

“I will go with you to have a look.”

He says.

Gao Ge feels delighted.

This is the outcome he wants.

However, he must do the show well. Hence, he hastens to rush forward and grabs Master Guanshan by the arm.

“Master, you haven’t been healed by now. How can you leave here?”

“Nonsense!” Master Guanshan says angrily, “The sovereign should not leave Mount Que randomly but now that he is not in the school, there must be some big problems. As the grandmaster of the Heaven School, how can I just stand by and do nothing?”

Gao Ge wants to say something more but he is stopped by Master Guanshan.

“I’ve made a decision. Don’t say anything else! Let’s go downhill!”

Gao Ge sighs and has no other choice but to leave the pavilion with Master Guanshan.

The moment he leaves the pavilion, Master Guanshan pauses for a while. He rubs his eyes and raises his head to look at the sun.

He looks so satisfied.

Obviously, he does lack the sun.

That’s to say, he needs some sunshine to brace him up.

After staying silent for a while, Master Guanshan strides forward again.

“Let’s go! To the Heaven School!”

“Okay!” Gao Ge follows him delightedly.

If Master Guanshan didn’t come down from the Cloud Climbing Stairs, Gao Ge could only be waiting there.

It has been a few days since he came to the Heaven School. He knows nothing about the big trouble of the Heaven School, which shows his neglect of duty as a spy.

Therefore, he must take the initiative.

However, Daotu is not in the Heaven School and Daoyuan is so annoying. As to Yan Chao, Gao Ge hasn’t learnt how miserable Yan Chao is until he comes here.

The one only point of penetration is Master Guanshan.

Gao Ge is following him, bloated with pride.

He looks like an attendant of the young masters of rich families in ancient times.

Master Guanshan walks ahead with his back straightened. Although he is not recovered, he still shows his dignity as a cultivator at the realm of Master and the grandmaster of the Heaven School.

“Grandmaster has finished his closed-door training!”

Upon entering the Heaven School, they hear someone shouting.

Then a lot of students rush towards them.

“Welcome back, Grandmaster!”

“Congratulations to Grandmaster!”

Master Guanshan still keeps walking forward without glancing at the students at his sides. He strides towards the hall.

They arrive at the hall finally.

Daoyuan and Daozhi have been waiting there with two core students in black.

“Congratulations to Grandmaster!” Daoyuan lowers his head in a rush and bows to the man before him with joined hands.

Master Guanshan doesn’t stop and walks to his front directly.

After a while, he says slowly, “Actually, I am forced to leave the training behind and come here by you.”

A few words make Daoyuan sweat with fear.

Daozhi also can’t help but look at Daoyuan.

He is pondering what stupid thing his brother has done?

Master Guanshan waves his sleeves and walks into the hall.

Gao Ge approaches Daoyuan and reaches out one hand to pat his shoulder.

“Daoyuan, why are you so ignorant? You should have given me the spiritual jades when I asked for them. Why do you have to make Grandmaster come here to take himself?”

“Don’t you dare!” Daoyuan flies into a rage, “What do you think you are? How dare you be so bold?”

Master Guanshan has been in the hall. He turns around and says with a sneer, “Let me tell you what he is. Look at him carefully and listen to me. He is your uncle and my direct apprentice. How is that?”

Daoyuan doesn’t dare to respond any.
