As soon as Gu Zhiqi opened the door, she found three people standing outside.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s room door open, the three people standing at the door simultaneously called out to her, with Yun Yan and Yun Sen looking very respectful.
Watching the three of them standing at her door like bodyguards, there was a moment when Gu Zhiqi had the illusion that they were bodyguards she had hired.
"What’s the matter?" After the three people called out to her and then shut up together, Gu Zhiqi took the initiative to ask.
"Miss Gu, I have come to thank you." Although Yun Yan still kept a stern face, his tone was a few shades more respectful than yesterday. As he spoke, he gave a very serious bow to Gu Zhiqi.
With his serious demeanor and dressed all in black, anyone who didn’t know better might think he was paying respects at a memorial hall.
Gu Zhiqi silently moved two steps to the side and lazily said, "No need, it was just a transaction."
"Regardless, I must thank Miss Gu, if there is anything I can assist with in the future, please feel free to ask. As long as I’m capable, I will do everything I can," Yun Yan said with an expressionless face, yet full of respect in his tone.
Even Yun Sen, who was standing by, couldn’t help but be amazed.
Being treated with such respect by Yun Yan was something few in the Ever Winning Army could boast of, yet now, there was one more – Miss Gu.
"Alright then." Gu Zhiqi responded perfunctorily and then turned to look at Gu Yuluo and Yun Sen, "What about you two, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo spoke first, "The jade is ready; it can be mailed to Yueqi Village tomorrow morning."
Last night, as soon as she got back to her room, she found a reliable source to purchase three pieces of jade and had them expedited for delivery first thing the next morning.
Gu Zhiqi responded with an indifferent "Oh" and then looked at Yun Sen, who, although he did not speak, held a questioning look in his eyes.
"Miss Gu, what are we learning today?" Yun Sen asked cheerfully, looking at Gu Zhiqi.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi remembered that she was supposed to teach him how to control Green Crystal Grass, and the guy had even paid tuition.
"Let’s go, to the backyard," Gu Zhiqi said, stepping ahead and leading the way downstairs.
Seeing this, Yun Sen hurriedly grabbed the Green Crystal Grass and scampered after her.
Gu Yuluo followed after a moment, with a slight squint in her eyes, quickly stepped alongside Gu Zhiqi on the other side, "What are you teaching? You took an apprentice? What are you going to have him teach? You never taught me anything."
Her tone was full of grievance, her eyes looking deeply at Gu Zhiqi.
"He paid tuition," Gu Zhiqi retorted flatly.
"You..." Gu Yuluo could only squeeze out one word, looking at Gu Zhiqi with an indescribable expression, before finally managing to utter a complete sentence, "That’s so like you."
Although Gu Zhiqi was only teaching Yun Sen, out of curiosity, Gu Yuluo and Yun Yan followed them to the backyard as well.
Once they reached the backyard, Gu Zhiqi first had Yun Sen review what was taught the day before.
Then, Yun Sen managed to enlarge the Green Crystal Grass by two times, and that was it.
After all that was taught yesterday, you only learned to double the size of Green Crystal Grass?!
"I... I got so caught up in watching you yesterday, I forgot to learn," Yun Sen said, lifting his hand to scratch his head.
Of course, he wouldn’t admit that it was just too difficult, and he hadn’t really learned anything.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi suddenly felt like refunding the tuition and kicking him out.
After a few seconds of silence, she reached out and plucked a leaf from the Green Crystal Grass in Yun Sen’s embrace.
Before she could demonstrate yesterday’s lesson to Yun Sen, her cellphone in her pocket rang first.
