Qiu Changyun: "..." He really still wanted to tear this man into pieces!
"Brother Luo." You Su disapproved and pushed away Luo Jiujiang's scabbard. He turned to Qiu Changyun and said sincerely, "Since you are willing to repent, I will naturally not sit idly by. Don't worry..."
Mr. You is indeed soft-hearted and can't stand being pestered! Qiu Changyun was delighted again: Is Mr. You going to personally intercede for me?
"...If Brother Qiu kicks you out of the academy, I will give you some money to save you the trouble of traveling."
Qiu Changyun: "..." He should have known that since Master You knew the boy in black, he would definitely take revenge on him. The two of them were birds of a feather!
He looked into You Su's gentle, shining eyes in silence, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He was repeatedly beaten by Luo Jiujiang and You Su, leaving him in such agony that he wanted to clutch his chest.
But You Su refused to give up. He actually walked forward and tiptoed to take off the pearl hanging around his neck. "You have made a mistake. According to the rules, the token of love should be withheld. I will bring this pearl to Brother Qiu. You don't have to worry."
Qiu Changyun: "..." No, no, no, he was worried! With Senior Brother Qiu Shi's personality, after hearing about what he had done, he would definitely smash the pearl into powder with one palm. Then, that big, burly fool would definitely think, "The token is broken, what's the point of keeping me here?" and would definitely expel him from the academy!
What about the rumored elegant young man? What about Mr. You, a kindhearted man? How could you deceive such a gentleman? It's fake! Liar! Rumor! Damn it! This kid has a dark heart!
Completely unaware of the thoughts running through Qiu Changyun's mind, You Su called over two fellow Zhan Feng disciples and gently asked them to take Qiu Changyun back to his quarters for self-reflection. They were also told not to neglect any requests. He then turned to look at Luo Jiujiang, who had been laughing non-stop since the beginning, and asked, "Brother Luo, why are you laughing?"
Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "A Su, you really didn't mean it?"
You Su looked back in confusion.
"Okay, I understand." The entire process was exactly the same as You Su's previous suggestion of retaking the entrance exam just for him, and You Su felt completely justified. Thinking of this, Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but tease him, "We already know each other, and you're punishing him. Aren't you afraid of rumors spreading that Master You is deliberately protecting his friend?"
Upon hearing this, You Su said sternly, "When recommending someone from outside, don't avoid your enemies; when recommending someone from within, don't avoid your relatives. The same applies to fairness. If I were to confirm that Brother Luo was at fault, I wouldn't side with him." After a pause, he whispered, "You're a casual cultivator, so there's no need to report this to the dean. After all, I'm the Peak Master, so I can simply expel you."
Luo Jiujiang burst out laughing.
Seeing that Luo Jiujiang didn't answer, You Su hurriedly spoke to make amends: "But if that's the case, then I will also prepare generous travel expenses for you, Brother Luo! Eh? Eh? Brother Luo, why are you laughing again..."
You're really good at chatting. Luo Jiujiang couldn't help but think about it, but he didn't say it out loud. He changed the subject and asked, "How did Ah Su find me here?"
As expected, You Su was distracted. He said honestly, "I asked Mr. Wu to bring me here. Brother Luo, I want to draw you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to signal the man in black robe beside him. The man in black robe, that is, Mr. Wu, nodded slowly, raised his foot and disappeared without a trace.
Luo Jiujiang was very easy to talk to. He agreed generously, "You draw it."
"Not now. I'll just follow Brother Luo." You Su shook his head. "By the way, I heard that Brother Luo played the strings like pearls just now. His skills were amazing. I wonder if Brother Luo could let me see it?"
"How difficult is that?" Luo Jiujiang leaned over and borrowed the iron bow on the scholar's back. He stretched out his hand to test the string and said with a smile, "I used a slingshot to compete with that man before. It was because I had to win at that time. I am more confident with the slingshot. If you want to draw it, just draw me drawing the bow. Otherwise, if you draw the soul successfully and call out that man with a slingshot, someone who doesn't know you would think you released it to shoot birds."
The scholar was straightforward and easy to talk to. He had always wanted to establish a close friendship with Luo Jiujiang, so he not only lent him his bow without hesitation but also took out his quiver and held it for him to choose from. In addition to the heavy arrows, the quiver also contained two or three hollow-point arrows and armor-piercing arrows. Luo Jiujiang took one look and smiled, shaking his head.
"Little brother, don't you see that these arrows are not suitable for your hands?"
Seeing this scene, students around handed over their quivers, but Luo Jiujiang did not choose one.
Seeing him stubbornly refuse, the eyes of those around him lit up. They had all witnessed the scene just now: Luo Jiujiang didn't take the marbles gathered by the casual cultivators, but instead picked a few flower buds, highlighting his amazing skills. Now Luo Jiujiang refused to take everyone's arrows, could there be some hidden trick?
As expected, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Luo Jiujiang leisurely walked back to the Flowing Clouds and Mist tree. He looked it up and down several times, then selected a suitable branch and patted the tree's rough trunk affectionately: "I'm going to trouble you again, Brother Tree."
Even though they had just witnessed him using his unique skill of sending flowers scattering from the flower buds, everyone was still extremely surprised and puzzled by his choice.
"Well, little brother," the scholar hesitantly advised, "arrows are not like marbles. A marble just needs to be round; there's no need to worry too much about the material. The flower branch in your hand is softer than an arrow shaft. It has a fork at the end, but no feathers, and the tip isn't sharpened. It certainly won't reach high."
"Of course." Luo Jiujiang smiled and agreed with all the scholar's points. "I'm a little tired after my recent sparring match with that guy, so I don't want to be so serious. Besides, you're all experts with bows, so I won't show off my skills in front of you. I think the bird in the sky is targeted by bows and arrows every day. Its feathers have been shot off, and now it has to pluck flowers. I think it must feel aggrieved. I just flicked its finger, and even though it's just a bud, it's still painful, so I might as well give it a flower."
