Chapter 603: The Second Question
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Mountain Elder Qi finished speaking, he saw Gu Dajiang looking at him with an indescribable expression.
He frowned. “Why? Is there another problem?”
Gu Dajiang said, “Since the other party has sufficient manpower and I’m the only one without help, life-saving items, or a place to hide, why did the bandits capture my wife and daughter to threaten me? Wouldn’t they just tie me up?”
“Pfft…” Gu Yundong quickly covered her mouth and silently turned her head to look at a painting hanging on the wall not far away.
Yes, it was written very boldly. She could not understand it at all, but she had to pretend to be very serious.
The others in the Fate Hut were speechless.
The mountain elder’s tea stuck in his throat.
He suddenly turned to look at Gu Yundong and asked with a smile, “Little girl, you don’t seem to care who your father saves first. Why don’t you tell me who you want to save first if your father and mother are in danger at the same time?”
Gu Yundong looked at the constipated mountain elder who had been choked by Gu Dajiang. She smiled and said, “Grandpa Mountain Elder seems to like asking this question. Why don’t you tell me who you will save first if Young Master Qi and Student Cai fall into the water at the same time?”
“I’m the one asking you now. Why are you asking me instead?”
Gu Yundong nodded innocently. “That’s right. It’s Grandpa Mountain Elder who’s evaluating my father now. Why are you asking about me? I’ve never thought of entering Tianhai Academy.”
“…” Like the father, like the daughter. They had the same eloquence.
The mountain elder was a little angry. No wonder Qin Wenzheng had written in the letter that he could go ahead with the test, no matter how difficult it was.
How could he do the exam? The student asked more questions than the teacher. After that, she even looked at him like he was old and his brain was not working well.
It seemed that he would not be able to get an answer to the first question even if he asked again. He would just take it that the man had passed.
“Alright. The first question is considered passed. Let’s go to the second question next.”
Gu Dajiang sat upright and nodded. “Please ask, mountain elder.”
“I won’t ask this time. The second question is for you to do something.”
The mountain elder pointed outside. “I’ll give you an hour. Go to the lecture hall and ask each of the twenty students for a piece of calligraphy or painting.” “Calligraphy or painting?”
“Yes, what’s the problem?”
Gu Dajiang shook his head. “No problem.”
Gu Yundong thought for a moment. It was two hours. On average, it was three minutes for each student. This did not include the time needed to go back and forth. It was indeed quite urgent.
The problem was that students were very protective of their calligraphy and paintings these days. It was unlikely that they would casually hand them over to others, let alone a complete stranger.
Gu Yundong looked at Mountain Elder Qi, who also looked at her and laughed.
“Let’s begin now.” He gestured at Gu Dajiang.
“Yes, sir.” Gu Dajiang nodded but did not walk out. Instead, he walked to Gu Yundong’s ear and whispered a few words.
When Gu Yundong heard this, she nodded with a smile and took out something from her sleeve.
In fact, it was taken from the space, but others could not see it.
Qi Ting craned his neck to take a look, but Gu Dajiang quickly put it away without letting anyone see it.
Then, he turned around and cupped his hands at Mountain Elder Qi. “I’ll go now.”
“You only have an hour.” Mountain Elder Qi reminded him.
