When Lu Jin'an returned to the dormitory late at night after chatting with Zhu Jiangshuai, she naturally discovered that the person next to her was still awake.
The living room lights were still on.
When I meditate in his room, we only turn on the balcony light and turn off the living room light.
Lu Jin'an knew that Gu Zhilin had faced too much today.
It's normal not to be able to meditate and rest at night.
Although I feel sorry for him not getting proper rest, I have no right or qualification to advise him now.
So he sighed and went back to his dormitory.
The next day, Lu Jin'an got up very early but did not go to Gu Zhilin's room to look for him.
He was worried that Gu Zhilin hadn't rested well last night, so he wanted to give him more time to rest this morning.
Unexpectedly, when she didn't go to him, Gu Zhilin knocked on her dormitory door.
Lu Jin'an was surprised when she saw Gu Zhilin outside the door.
This was the first time Gu Zhilin had taken the initiative to come to his dormitory to find him.
"What's wrong?" Thinking he had something important to do, Lu Jin'an looked at him with some concern.
"I noticed you didn't come to practice Tai Chi with me today, so I thought you weren't feeling well and hadn't gotten up yet, so I came to check on you." Gu Zhilin was a little embarrassed, as he couldn't very well say that he had been waiting at home all morning and was getting impatient.
She was afraid that because of her rejection yesterday, Lu Jin'an would never come to her dormitory again.
So, as if possessed, I found myself here.
Lu Jin'an seemed to have seen through Gu Zhilin's thoughts, and was secretly pleased, but did not show it on her face: "I got back too late last night and overslept, I'm sorry."
Gu Zhilin looked at the other person's neat appearance and realized that he didn't look like he had gotten up late at all.
Does she really not plan to come looking for me anymore?
I felt a little uneasy.
"It's okay, you can practice in your own room from now on." Gu Zhilin felt a little ashamed of himself.
When did I become so hypocritical?
Looking at the man's conflicted expression, Lu Jin'an found it both amusing and worrying that the man might not want her to go to his room again.
So he quickly replied, "What do you think? There's still so much I need to learn from you. You're not going to give up on teaching me, are you?"
Lu Jin'an used to despise men who pretended to be pitiful.
But recently he has found himself spending more and more time pretending to be pitiful in front of Gu Zhilin.
Moreover, this trick is particularly effective.
I can no longer bring myself to look down on men who pretend to be pitiful.
Some even think the person who invented this trick is a genius.
Gu Zhilin smiled when he heard Lu Jin'an say that: "Of course not, you can learn from me anytime you want. I'm just afraid you won't want to learn anymore."
Lu Jin'an chuckled softly, "Why wouldn't I want to learn? I'm willing to learn as long as you're willing to teach me."
He sighed: "When I came back last night, I found that you hadn't rested. I was worried that you needed to rest this morning, so I didn't come to see you. It's not that I didn't want to see you."
Hearing Lu Jin'an say that, Gu Zhilin relaxed completely.
He added, "Last night was because I was researching the manufacturing method of the drug I mentioned before. I think there's a high probability that modern medical technology can actually produce it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an's previous good mood of being able to admire his beloved as soon as he opened the door vanished, and he became serious: "So, do your students at the Combat Academy really use those drugs?"
Gu Zhilin didn't nod immediately: "I only said it's possible. Did you get the birth dates and times of the two students I mentioned needing before?"
Lu Jin'an stepped aside from the doorway and led Gu Zhilin into the room: "Found it, I'll send it to you via the AI right now."
I received the birth dates and times of those two people.
Gu Zhilin immediately began to set up the divination chart. In the 21st century, many Taoist priests would have already used software to set up their divination charts.
In modern society, creating a chart plotting software is even simpler.
However, Gu Zhilin was used to manually arranging the chart, so after he finished arranging the Four Pillars of Destiny chart...
He frowned and said, "This person's lifespan is indeed... problematic."
"You mean his lifespan has been shortened?"
Gu Zhilin nodded: "This person was destined for a long life, but... it seems that he will suffer a serious illness in his later years, and this illness will take his life. This is a typical case of a lifespan that is shortened."
Lu Jin'an frowned: "What about the other one?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhilin immediately began to prepare a chart for another student, and the result was indeed the same.
"They both got the same result. You can try to contact them. There should be a man in their lives who is not very tall, rather thin, and has dark skin. This person is suspicious."
Lu Jin'an never expected that so much could be gleaned from the birth charts of these two people.
He immediately sent a message to Zhu Jiangshuai, hoping that the academy could provide assistance.
“It seems I still have to go to the academy today, you…” Lu Jin’an was willing to take Gu Zhilin with her.
Gu Zhilin naturally wanted to go, but the assessment would begin next month. If he continued to neglect his warship training, he might not even pass the assessment, let alone achieve an A-level.
"I'll stick to training at the military region."
Hearing that Gu Zhilin had volunteered to stay, Lu Jin'an knew that training was more important for Gu Zhilin now.
"Alright, I'll have Zeng Yan train you. I'm sorry, I was supposed to train you..." Lu Jin'an said helplessly.
He could have taken care of him himself, but it was all left to Zeng Yan.
Gu Zhilin shook his head: "It's okay, Zeng Yan taught very well."
Not wanting to hear him praise others, Lu Jin'an urged him to get up and leave: "Alright, let's split up now."
Gu Zhilin stood up and nodded: "If you need anything from me, you can contact me anytime."
"Yes, I'll let you know if there's any new information." Lu Jin'an knew that Gu Zhilin definitely cared about this matter, which meant that there were other people on Earth who understood Taoism as much as he did.
Could this person also be from ancient times? Nobody knows for sure.
"There will be quite a few places where I'll need your help."
Gu Zhilin nodded in relief.
After the two left the dormitory, Gu Zhilin went to the warship base to find Zeng Yan.
As soon as they entered the warship base, they saw Shang Shixu and Cheng Yi.
It was still early, and there weren't many people at the warship base training yet.
Now, when we encounter them, it's inevitable that we'll face off again.
Gu Zhilin was too lazy to argue, so he decided to take a detour.
Unexpectedly, Shang Shixu didn't cause him any trouble this time. Instead, he took the initiative to tell him that Zeng Yan was waiting for him on the other side.
Somewhat bewildered by the person's sudden kindness, Gu Zhilin thanked him while looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"The misunderstanding you had before was ultimately my fault, and I should apologize to you. Zhong Qing is back, and this time it was all thanks to you that his mother was saved. I... thank you on his behalf." Shang Shixu said this somewhat stiffly, clearly still struggling to overcome his psychological barrier.
