Your classmates haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, but you are carrying bricks

Just when Gu Ci was immersed in deciphering the ancient characters.

"Someone is looking for you outside your dormitory door! You can't stay here for too long!"

Lingxi's voice came slowly.

"Someone is looking for me?"

Gu Ci raised his head in confusion, glanced at Ling Xi, and didn't say anything!

Lingxi had already walked in front of him, put her palm on his chest, and pushed gently.

Gu Ci only felt a tightness in his chest, his eyes blurred, and when he came to his senses, he was no longer in the cockpit of the spacecraft, but returned to the dormitory.

"What's going on? Teleport?"

Just when Gu Ci was confused.

There was another knock on the dormitory door.

"I'm coming!"

Gu Ci responded vaguely while casually putting on a coat. He walked to the door, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened the dormitory door.

The person standing outside the door was actually the principal?

"Principal? Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? You said you would come meet me after handing over the spoils, but you didn't show up, so I came here!"

The principal looked at him with a smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Ci suddenly remembered what happened before.

I had already made an appointment to meet with the principal, but I was so busy that I forgot about it.

Seeing the principal coming to the door, Gu Ci scratched his head awkwardly: "Principal, I'm sorry, I forgot!"

The principal said "Oh" meaningfully, his eyes swept over Gu Ci's body, finally landing on his slightly open collar, where red scratches were faintly visible.

"I heard that you were disqualified from the competition in the outer hunting ground?"

The principal smiled and said, "Young man, won't you invite me into the room and sit down?"

Gu Ci stood there in a daze, his thoughts still not away from the mysterious symbols on the parchment scroll.

The principal's sudden visit caught him off guard.

Especially the principal's meaningful smile and the last meaningful words made him feel a little uneasy.

"Principal, what you said is really ridiculous... I am a poor student, how can I have anything good to treat you?"

As Gu Ci spoke, he secretly pulled his collar, trying to cover up the marks.

"Haha, stop pretending, kid. I've heard a lot about your deeds in the outer hunting grounds."

The principal said this and walked straight into the room, not treating himself as an outsider at all.

Gu Ci shook his head helplessly. This old man was really sociable.

But when he thought about it, the entire Shangqing University belonged to him, so what was there for him to be embarrassed about?

"Tell me, how did you get disqualified? I heard that even Zhao Linger won first place in this peripheral recommendation competition. Given your ability in the genius class, this shouldn't be the case. How could you be disqualified in advance?"

The principal sat on the sofa, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

Gu Ci smiled bitterly and told the principal everything that happened to him in the hunting ground.

Of course, he didn't say a word about hunting monsters in the restricted area.

After listening to Gu Ci's story, the principal pondered for a moment and said, "So, you have offended the inspector?"

"Offend? The Inspector General has great powers, how dare I!"

Gu Ci pretended to be confused, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Who is the principal? An old fox!

How could my little trick be hidden from his sharp eyes?

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Ci's explanation, the principal just smiled meaningfully and did not continue asking questions.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "Young man, I know you are gifted, but you must also know how to restrain your edge. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

"Although you were introduced to our school as a genius, genius is only the threshold to enter our school... Many times, only by keeping a low profile can you accomplish great things that many people cannot see!"

Gu Ci secretly groaned in his heart, this old man is warning me!

He nodded quickly and said that he would definitely keep the teachings in mind.

Seeing this, the principal nodded in satisfaction and changed the subject, asking, "I heard that you got some unusual treasures in the hunting ground?"

Gu Ci's heart skipped a beat. This old man really hit the point.

"Principal, you are joking. I am just a nobody. How can I have any unusual treasures? At most, I have found some slightly valuable materials in the outer hunting grounds..."

The principal glared at him in a feigned anger, "Don't play dumb with me, little brat! The trophies you submitted for the mission today are worth more than 50,000 credits and a scholarship of 500,000! With your personality, you will definitely not hand over all the good stuff! What, are you still trying to hide it?"

Gu Ci smiled bitterly: "Principal, what I got is a secret! You also know that wealth should not be exposed to others..."

The principal was amused by Gu Ci's mysterious look. He coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "Stop talking nonsense and take it out quickly! How can I covet your things?"

Gu Ci felt relieved when he saw that the principal was not really angry. He pretended to be reluctant to take out a sheepskin scroll from his arms and handed it to the principal, "Principal, you have to be careful. This thing is a treasure and is priceless!"

In fact, at this time Gu Ci was completely testing the principal!

After all, even Lingxi, a high-risk creature in the spaceship among the space debris, couldn't decipher this parchment scroll. Could it be that the principal has this ability?

The principal took the parchment scroll and felt it was slightly cool. A strange energy wave came from his fingertips, which made his heart tremble slightly.

This baby... is quite interesting!

He narrowed his eyes and studied the parchment scroll carefully.

The scroll is simple and plain, and the text on the surface is all pictographic symbols, which are obviously ancient texts.

He has been immersed in the world of cultivation for many years. What kind of rare treasures has he not seen?

But the aura emanating from this parchment scroll was inexplicably familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't remember where.

When Gu Ci saw the principal’s expression, he became even more certain that this parchment scroll was not simple!

He rolled his eyes and asked deliberately, "Principal, you are well-informed. Can you recognize the words on this scroll?"

There was a gleam of light in the principal's narrowed eyes, and where Gu Ci couldn't see, a barely perceptible trace of shame flashed across his eyes.

He coughed lightly to hide his inner excitement: "After all, I am the president of Shangqing University. I do know a thing or two about the words on this scroll, but..."

He deliberately prolonged his voice and observed Gu Ci's expression.

Gu Ci laughed secretly in his heart, this old man is really good at pretending!

He deliberately pretended to be surprised and said, "Principal, you are really knowledgeable and talented! I have studied the words on this scroll for a long time, but I don't recognize any of them. How come you know a little bit about them?"
