Chapter Twenty-Seven: Master Yan
Evening.
Shadhara and Lei Luo came to Tutor Gubo's house, as if nervous about the good news that they were about to report to the mentor in a moment, and the two sat in their chairs with a little restraint.
Tutor Gubo has not come back yet, Wushuang has been away for a long time, Bailing has not come back from collecting specimens, and Mrs. Ripple brought a plate of exotic fruits and placed it in front of the two.
Seeing the two of them look so restrained, the ripples were gentle.
"Seeing that you are nervous, your mentor is not a demonic beast, and he can still eat you?"
In the fruit bowl is a strange fruit called the thunder lip fruit.
Ripple peeled off the peel of the Thunder Lip Fruit, cut it into small pieces with a fruit knife, skewered it with a toothpick, and handed it to the two of them in a fruit bowl.
"Thank you, Mrs. ”
Shadhara took the fruit plate, looked at Lei Luo and gestured: "Senior brother, you haven't tasted the thunder lip fruit yet, have you? The thunder lip fruit will only be born in the blood wolf valley deep in the thorn forest every winter, and it will soon be eaten up by the nearby snow wolves, so each one is worth a fortune, the Royal Academy of Sciences has worked hard to successfully transplant a fruit tree a few years ago, so the academy will give a few fruits to the mentor every year!"
"Oh?"
Hearing that this never-before-seen fruit was so precious, Lei Luo became curious and gently picked up a toothpick.
Looking at the milky flesh on the toothpick, under the smiling gaze of ripples and Shadra, Lei Luo gently put it in his mouth.
Squeak!
The sudden paralyzing sensation, the moment the thunder lip fruit touched the lips, as if it was hit by a beam of thunder, and quickly spread to every cell in the body, Lei Luo instantly felt that his entire body was trembling in indescribable pain and pleasure, and his upper and lower teeth trembled.
"Hiss......"
Take a gasp.
Obviously, it was only for a short moment, as if a few days had passed, the Thunder Lip Fruit lost its potency and turned into a mellow liquid flowing down his lips and into his throat, but Lei Luo felt that his body was suddenly light, and he was indescribably refreshed.
"Senior brother, how do you feel?"
In contrast, Shadhara has been able to withstand the irritation of the Thunder Lip Fruit as if nothing happened.
"This, this is also amazing! There is such a miraculous fruit in the world, and the evolution of life in nature is so amazing, no wonder the academy would go to great lengths to transplant a fruit tree!"
Relo has learned the language of praise as a scholar.
Mrs. Ripple smiled lightly and elegantly: "Work hard, your mentor has a lot of good things, and they will all be yours in the future." ”
Being said by Mrs. Ripple like this, Lei Luo imagined that he was going to tell the good news to the mentor in a while, that he had completed the basic enlightenment, and that the mentor would praise him at that time, and his heart couldn't help but get excited, as if he was more wonderful than the thunder lip fruit!
The mentor would never have imagined that he would be able to complete the basic enlightenment in just one month!
Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
Squeak.
Suddenly, the sound of the wooden door of the fence in the courtyard outside the house came.
Sha Daluo and Lei Luo were the same, instinctively stood up from the wooden chair as if they were electrocuted, and looked out of the door respectfully.
Seeing that the two of them looked like mice meeting cats, Mrs. Ripple shook her head and smiled, "Okay, your mentor is back." ”
Opening the door of the house, Ripple looked at Gu Bo, who was preoccupied, and said softly, "Shadhara and Lei Luo are here." ”
Gu Bo raised his head, glanced at the two people standing in the hall, didn't say anything, "En", in response, and walked into the study by himself.
Shadhara and Lei Luo didn't dare to breathe and followed behind the tutor and came to the study.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as Gu Bo entered the bookstore, he turned his back to the two of them, looking for something on the bookshelf, and asked without looking back.
After Lei Luo and Sha Tu Luo glanced at each other, Lei Luo pursed his lips and did not speak, while Sha Dao Luo said respectfully word by word: "Tutor, the little junior brother has completed the initiation course, and you can follow the instructor to learn the basic academic courses with the new students of this year." ”
Lei Luo lowered his head stiffly, his ears and the base of his neck were red and shy.
It seems that being praised by Mentor Gubo is the most powerful stimulant in this world!
Gu Bo, who was looking for books, paused for a moment, and then continued to be busy on the bookshelf, still not looking back, Gu Bo said flatly: "You already have academic awareness?"
"Yes. ”
Shadhara replied earnestly.
"Yes, I see, come back tomorrow morning. ”
Gubo's voice was very calm, as if all this was taken for granted, and there was not even a trace of waves.
Lei Luo was in disbelief, and the excitement of anticipation was quickly replaced by incomprehension, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, pouring his whole body, instantly retreating from all fiery expectations, raising his head, looking at the mentor who was looking for books in front of the bookshelf, the desire to wear it, was completely overwhelmed by the grievance and loss.
The results of my own efforts, but all I got was such a response.
Eventually, Gubo found a yellowed animal skin scroll from the bookshelf and exchanged it for it.
"Psychic Sacrifice", the limb organs of human albinos, belong to the psychic sacrifice of high wizards, and in recent days, there have been a number of homicides against albinos in the academy, and it seems that there are wizards hiding in again...... Damn rats, do you think this is the dark age of your confrontation with the church!"
Sen Sen muttered to himself, and Gu Bo seemed to have completely forgotten the two disciples standing in front of him, and sat down in his chair, concentrating on studying the animal skin scroll.
Lei Luo raised his head and looked at the Gubo Mentor in front of his desk, who had been completely immersed in the contents of the Hides Scroll.
Sensing that the corners of his clothes were gently pulled by the second senior brother, Lei Luo turned his head to look, the second senior brother pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and motioned for Lei Luo to follow him out of the room and stop disturbing the mentor.
Shadhara understood Lei Luo's grievances, and he was also in pain.
I wanted to tell the good news to the mentor and make the mentor happy, and the happiness of the mentor is my greatest happiness, but I didn't expect it to be such an indifferent response.
Not only Lei Luo, but also himself!
Over the years, no matter how hard he tried, he could never be recognized by his mentor, and the same thing, as long as Wushuang dealt with it casually, he would always be better and more perfect than himself, so that the mentor would be proud, and he would always live in a supporting role in the shadow of Wushuang Yuyue, and he was lost and desperate again and again.
The heart of the mentor has been completely occupied by Wushuang.
Any achievement, as long as it does not surpass the achievements of the unequaled, will always be only the indifference and criticism of the mentor, no matter how hard the process is.
Shadhara gently closed the door of the study, as if this door was the most beautiful woman, and let him treat it with all his thoughts, for fear of disturbing the teacher's contemplation, and pulled Lei Luo's clothes and left gently.
"Alas, Shadra, Lei Luo, why did you leave so quickly, let's have dinner together!"
Ripples who were cooking dinner came out of the kitchen.
"Uh? No, Master, there is still an important knowledge that the junior brother has not understood, and I have already consulted the mentor just now, so let's go back and teach the mentor this knowledge first, lest I forget it for a while, hehehe. ”
Shadhara smiled innocently.
Ripple looked at Lei Luo, who bowed his head and didn't dare to look at him, his mind was ingenious and delicate, and he suddenly understood something, and glared at Shadhara who was lying to him.
Shadhara couldn't help but restrain his sincerity, slowly lowered his head, and stopped talking.
"Hey...... Okay, it's important to study, and I'll call you again when Bailing comes back in two days. ”
Ripple sighed, patted Shadra and Lei Luo on the shoulder, gently hugged the two like a mother, comforted the hearts of the two, and slowly watched the two leave.
When Lei Luo and Sha Tuo were completely away, Ripple Pity sighed and suddenly turned into anger, pushing open the wooden door of Gu Bo's study, and Gu Bo, who was studying the Beast Skin Codex, was startled.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ripple said: "Shadhara has been accepted as a disciple by you for almost twenty years, don't you know how much you have been wronged? What's wrong with him? Isn't it a mistake to not have Wushuang to be excellent? Now it's okay, there is another Lei Luo, is there only one Wushuang in your heart!"
Gubo snorted and threw the hide scroll on the table.
"I'm not just their mentor, I'm also the dean of the academy, the founder of the field of atavistic cloning academic research!
Gu Bo said angrily: "The road of exploring the mysteries of evolution has always been done by oneself, not by the encouragement of others! The specimens are not piled up into a mountain of corpses, there is no sea of blood flowing on the dissecting table, there is no wasteland of bones under the laboratory, and if you do not have the courage to break all obstacles to explore, you will always be just a third-rate scholar and a dwarf who does not grow up!"
"You!"
Ripple didn't know what to say anymore, just looked directly at Gu Bo, and the room became extremely quiet for a while, except for the sound of "coo-dong" and "coo-dong" heartbeats.
After a while.
"Ah...... Hahahaha, it's all old husbands and wives, don't be angry, okay, I know, I'll pay attention to it in the future. ”
After a moment of silence, Gubo smiled rather awkwardly.
