Guru was fine because Wu Lai had publicly proved the swelling-reducing effect of strong liquor, so he did not have to accept punishment anymore.
Wu Lai was also fine, because Lini suddenly developed a good impression of Wu Lai, not only because of Wu Lai's powerful strength in knocking down Quick with a kick in the air, but also because Wu Lai was targeting people from the Shuman family - you know, Lini never had a good impression of people from the Shuman family.
Lini, who had a new respect for Wu Lai, simply did Wu Lai a favor.
Naturally, Guru raised his admiration for Wu Lai to an exaggerated degree. If he had previously thought about being on equal terms with Wu Lai and helping each other to move forward together, now Guru has consciously adjusted his position, because Wu Lai's wisdom, personal bravery, and courage are enough for Guru to make up his mind to be a follower - to follow Wu Lai's steps forward, forward...
"You surprised me. Although I had guessed that you would definitely beat Quick, I didn't expect that you would kick him unconscious in one blow." Guru said as he followed Wu Lai.
"That's because he is too weak. Fortunately, I didn't wear boots." Wu Lai said disapprovingly. Although his current skills are not as good as before, he has never forgotten how to exploit weaknesses to attack. Of course, this is also thanks to his unremitting training over the years.
"You've made Eddie really angry. She will definitely cause trouble for us." Guru thought for a moment and added, "We have to be careful. The Shuman family is not easy to mess with."
Wu Lai noticed that Guru said "we" instead of "you", and his heart suddenly warmed. He smiled and turned around and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Guru shook his head: "With you here, I am not afraid."
Wu Lai nodded: "You are right. By the way, I haven't said 'sorry' to you yet. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be punished to clean the bathroom."
"It's nothing. My father said, if you make friends, you either don't make any, or if you do, it's a lifelong friendship." Guru said with a smile.
"It's a very affectionate description. I like it." Wu Lai nodded with a smile.
"Me too. I have a feeling that one day in the future, you will become a hero admired by everyone." Guru said seriously.
"Hero? Admired by everyone?" Wu Lai suddenly remembered a plot, so he asked with a smile, "Does he have to wear golden armor and step on colorful clouds?"
Guru was stunned and scratched his head subconsciously.
"Let's go quickly. I'm still in a hurry to reduce the swelling." Wu Lai saw Guru's look and knew that he didn't understand, so he urged him with a smile.
Just because Woolley and Gulu were fine didn't mean that others were as safe as them - the worst offenders were Eddie and Quick, who seemed to have become the focus of discussion in the academy in an instant. What made them extremely embarrassed and humiliated was that in the rumors, Eddie, who had always been proud of his beauty, became a shameless nymphomaniac, and Quick was even worse, as he was nicknamed "fragile" by everyone, and his previous duel victories were even turned into pretentious performances of fancy moves...
Soon, some people began to flirt with Wu Lai. It is worth mentioning that there were both girls and boys among those flirting with him. Wu Lai did not think this was a pleasant thing. Firstly, the few beautiful girls in the college did not seem to have considered joining the ranks of pursuing him. Secondly, the boys who had clearly expressed their admiration for Wu Lai were all beautiful and effeminate. Therefore, no matter which one it was, Wu Lai was disgusted and took a retreating attitude.
A few days later, Rini "snatched" Woolley from Ibe - he changed Woolley's name from Ibe's list of law majors to the list of military majors. This was the first time Rini had done this.
However, for Wu Lai, it doesn't matter whether he majors in military or law. In terms of military knowledge, with the current level of this world, it is difficult for anyone to surpass Wu Lai. In terms of familiarity with the law, Wu Lai believes that he is not much inferior to Ibe. Moreover, for him, the main purpose of coming to Assyria is definitely not to study.
After several more days passed, Wu Lai's performance in the college became more and more proper. He was very humble and polite to every faculty member, especially when facing the three vice-presidents. He always managed to grasp the right measure - showing his elegance and making the three vice-presidents feel comfortable, and not letting people see the slightest flattery in his behavior.
Influenced by Wu Lai, Guru also became unusually serious. He had a strong ability to understand, accept and adapt to things, and he "greedily" absorbed all the knowledge he could, because Wu Lai told him that life is a process of continuous learning, continuous practice and continuous harvest.
The most surprising thing was the behavior of Eddie and the others. Neither Eddie, Quick nor Boti approached Wu Lai again, as if they had forgotten the past. But Guru felt that this was not a good thing.
When Guru told Wu Lai about his observations and concerns, Wu Lai thought for a moment, smiled and comforted Guru, "Don't worry", then threw his law class copying homework to Guru and turned around to go about his business.
Guru smiled bitterly and shook his head. During this period he needed to do double homework every day, which was an extremely heavy workload. However, he knew that Wu Lai was very busy. Although Wu Lai did not show it in public, he was really busy.
In fact, the busiest person in the academy is not Wu Lai, but Mo Li.
Mo Li has been busy for several days in a row. He has been busy all day long and has mobilized the whole family to work together. Now, he is determined to make further progress and even mobilize relatives and friends to work together.
Mo Li was busy for a reason, it was because Wu Lai hired him to do something that seemed a little outrageous. If the price Wu Lai offered had not been so tempting, Mo Li might have asked about it out of curiosity. However, when Wu Lai took out the gold coins, he said that this matter must be kept secret.
Mo Li nodded, and then excitedly took the gold coin...
After Mo Li had been busy for fifteen days, a strange thing spread throughout the streets and alleys of Assyria: for several days, civilians took the initiative to go to the Ves Fountain in the central square of Assyria every day. They did not go to get water or play, but stood quietly in front of the Ves Fountain and prayed. After praying, they would turn their backs to the fountain and throw a silver coin into the fountain's pool with their backhands...
Civilians do this every day, with dozens of people at least and hundreds of people at most, men, women, old and young. Whether they are standing, praying or throwing silver coins, they all have peaceful smiles on their faces and look very happy and satisfied.
This is undoubtedly very curious.
Soon, someone asked these civilians and the priests who were responsible for maintaining the central square what was going on. The answers given by these civilians were surprisingly consistent - "The Weiss Fountain is a fountain of happiness." "The Weiss Fountain can bring good luck."
The priests' answers, however, contained some mystery:
"Oh, these civilians are here to find luck at the Weiss Fountain..."
"The holy light of God Amon is everywhere. Naturally, the Weiss Fountain is also under its shining..."
"Our duty is only to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the central square. The people's actions in front of the Weiss Fountain did not violate the divine code, so we will not interfere..."
"It's not for me to comment on this, but I wonder, if the Weiss Fountain is just an ordinary fountain, why would the civilians do this voluntarily?"
Such an answer only raises more questions in people's minds.
As a result, more civilians began to come to the central square of Assyria and began to join the ranks of standing, praying, and throwing silver coins...
After a few days, some doubtful nobles began to join...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A few days later, an average of more than a thousand silver coins were thrown into the Weiss Fountain every day. These silver coins sparkled in the splashes of water, and the priests headed by Galileo were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
Of course, among the crowd who came to the Ves Fountain to throw silver coins, there was no trace of Mo Li's parents, wife and children, nor were there those people that Mo Li hired from various taverns for Wu Lai. Wu Lai used forty gold coins to successfully establish a belief in the hearts of the people in Assyrian City: throwing silver coins into the Ves Fountain can pray for good luck and gain fortune.
Just as Woolley had speculated before, this simple method was more acceptable and more appealing than going to the temple to participate in prayer ceremonies. After all, no one could predict when good luck would appear.
The Weiss Fountain has changed. From the moment silver coins began to scatter in its pool, this change was destined. All those who come before it will no longer regard it as an ordinary hot spring. Everyone looks at it with piety, happiness and expectation.
Along with the Ves Fountain, the Central Square also changed. No matter how many people came, it could always be kept clean and tidy. The priests headed by Galileo no longer had to clean the square. After hiring twenty civilians to take over the job, all they had to do every day was to guide people to the Ves Fountain, and then wait by the side with a solemn look on their faces while everyone prayed. Occasionally, they would stop some people who failed to throw their silver coins into the pool from throwing them a second time.
"Oh, no, no, no, you can't do that. This seems to have given some inspiration, so you can try again tomorrow." The priests usually stop them like this.
People who are blocked usually feel a little frustrated and lost, but their frustration and loss make other people feel happy.
"Look, he can't even toss the silver coin, that means something. On the contrary, the silver coin I threw fell into the pool smoothly, so..." Most of these people would say this to themselves in their hearts.
Except for the priests, no one knew how many silver coins were thrown into the pool, and no one ever coveted the silver coins in the pool, because since the Weiss Fountain is a fountain of luck, taking away the silver coins would mean an insult to it, which would mean going against luck.
Let me ask you, who would like to stand on the opposite side of luck?
Therefore, only the priests were responsible for collecting the silver coins, and they did it in the dead of night, in a secretive and measured way, because Woolley sent a message saying that "people would like to see the bottom of the pool covered with silver coins..."
Woolley's words were not concise and clear, but Galileo got the point.
When Mo Li once again handed Wu Lai's letter to Galileo, Galileo handed Mo Li a reply letter.
In the evening, Wu Lai opened the letter, which had only one sentence written on it - it's done.
When he saw this, Wu Lei smiled comfortably. Galileo's words were not just about the Weiss Fountain, but also about some things he asked Galileo to fight for. Now it seems that everything is going as expected.
Wu Lai closed the letter and said to Mo Li who was waiting beside him, "My butler Ke Li should be here in two days."
"Don't worry, Master Wu Lai, I promise everything will be handled properly for you." Mo Li nodded and said with a smile.
After sending Qiqi away, Wu Lai stood in the yard and thought for a while, then walked into Guru's room: "Guru, please write a sincere and gorgeous letter to Vice Dean Lini asking for leave. I have to go out tomorrow and may not be back tonight."
"Sincere? And gorgeous?" Guru couldn't help rolling his eyes.
