I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Mr. Gu, you are not going to Yuanshan Pass? Then how can we send you off?" Hammer couldn't help but shouted out.

"Shut up, idiot!" Yu Yao was quick to step on the tip of Hammer's toes, causing him to grimace in pain, jump on one foot, hold the suffering foot tightly with both hands, and gasp for air.

Yu Yao quickly put on a bright smile, as bright as spring, and turned to Gu Yunzhou and said, "Mr. Gu, since you have decided to stay in the Seventh Pass, according to the local rules, you must leave the pass once a month to slay demons and barbarians to restore the prestige of our human race. I wonder if you already have a team? My team is eager to recruit young talents like you."

"Indeed, our team is quite famous in the Seventh Stage. Although we are not as strong as those top teams, I am confident that we are no ordinary people. We are not afraid of ordinary monsters and barbarians. We are more than capable of dealing with them."

Captain Zheng also spoke at this time and said that he sincerely hoped that Gu Yunzhou could join their team, so he did not hesitate to chase him to the headquarters of the Academy of Literature. If the people in the Academy of Literature knew that he had snatched people from their territory, they would probably sweep him out with a broom.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I will always remember it in my heart. But, I have already joined another team, and it is really difficult for me to think about it anymore. I can only apologize here, and I hope you will forgive me." Gu Yunzhou's tone was apologetic, but he also firmly stated his position.

"Which team is faster than us?" Hammer didn't even bother rubbing his still aching toe. He was utterly unwilling to believe that someone could be faster than them, filled with resentment and disbelief. They had clearly been waiting outside the Academy of Literature, convinced that no one had leaked the information.

"It's not from the Academy of Literature, but someone else. I'm sorry to say that I have some trivial matters to deal with because I have a mission tomorrow. When I return from the mission successfully, I will hold a banquet in Qionghua Pavilion to express my deep gratitude to you for saving my life. Then we will drink happily and not leave until we are drunk. I really don't have time to take care of other things today. I hope you can forgive me for my negligence." Gu Yunzhou still had many doubts in his mind and wanted to ask Master Jia for advice. He didn't feel like chatting at the moment, so he politely declined again.

"Alright, we were a step behind. Since Master Gu is like this, we won't bother with him any more. I just hope that Master Gu will have a smooth journey and everything will go smoothly. When you return triumphantly, we'll meet again at Qionghua Pavilion!"

Captain Zheng grabbed Hammer, who was about to ask more questions, and clasped his fists in farewell, then led his teammates and slowly left. As they walked further and further away, Hammer's unwilling voice could be vaguely heard, mixed with a bit of annoyance: "Who on earth is this immortal who actually intercepted Hu right under our noses? He was just a little bit away. It's so infuriating!" Gu Yunzhou shook his head slightly, a faint smile curled his lips, and then turned and walked towards where Master Jia lived.

When he arrived, Master Jia was not there. Gu Yunzhou waited for a long time until he heard brisk footsteps outside the door and Master Jia, with a happy face, walked into the house.

"Those guys are gone. Why didn't you agree to join their team? Every student in our Liberal Arts Academy's Class A is incredibly talented and capable. How could they be inferior to others? Yun Zhou, just be patient. I'll go out and look around myself later and definitely find a good place for you. With your literary talent, you won't have to worry about not finding a team to take you in!"

As soon as Master Jia came in, he couldn't wait to talk a lot, not waiting for Gu Yunzhou to speak. After that, he picked up the teacup on the table to moisten his throat. Only then did he notice the strange look on Gu Yunzhou's face. He paused involuntarily, slightly shifting the direction of the teacup, and asked with some confusion: "Why don't you have anything else to say?"

Gu Yunzhou sighed softly, a hint of helplessness etched across his brow. He had intended to inform Master Jia earlier, but Master Jia had sent him to Captain Zheng first. Upon his return, Master Jia had taken the lead again. "Master, I've teamed up with Shan Ze and the others, and we've agreed to depart tomorrow morning."

"Poof!" The tea that Master Jia had just drunk suddenly spurted out. He looked at Gu Yunzhou in disbelief, his eyes wide open. His hands unconsciously reached for his ears and gently scratched them twice, as if to confirm whether he had heard it wrong.

Only after seeing that his face didn't look like he was joking did he continue, "You...you were talking about Shan Ze? The Shan Ze from Qilianguan, the third son of the Shan family from the Dawn Kingdom, which ranks among the top three of the ten major human countries?" Master Jia was full of doubts about his life. It had only been a short time since this kid arrived at Qilianguan, and he had already found such a powerful backer.

"If it weren't a coincidence of having the same name, I think it must be him." Gu Yunzhou nodded affirmatively.

"Hiss—" Master Jia gasped, his eyes darting back and forth over Gu Yunzhou, filled with disbelief. "You kid, you just reached the Seventh Level, and you've already found such an indestructible backer? Your luck is simply unbelievable!"

"However, with this relationship, you can be said to be like a fish in water and have no obstacles in these seven levels. I believe those short-sighted people will not dare to plot behind your back. I was worried that Mr. Xue might go into seclusion at any time because he was about to break through, but now it seems that I was worrying too much!" After Master Jia finished speaking, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Thank you very much for your sincere care and love, I am deeply grateful!" Gu Yunzhou felt a little warm in his heart. Master Jia was a very competent teacher. He took good care of him along the way. Gu Yunzhou always kept it in his heart.

"Brat, as your teacher, it's my duty to protect you and guide you. But now that you've decided to join that team, do you know when you'll embark on this journey? This journey is incredibly dangerous and no joke. I've heard rumors lately that the demons and barbarians seem poised to make a move, and the situation is quite delicate. If you truly wish to join them, remember to be cautious and refrain from acting rashly or impulsively."

Master Jia began to feel a little worried as he spoke. After all, the fledglings would eventually leave the nest, and the eagles were destined to soar into the sky. All he could do was offer some guidance and reminders.

"By the way, we are setting off tomorrow. Brother Shan said that this trip may take a long time. What do you think I should prepare?" Gu Yunzhou quickly asked about the most crucial thing.

"Wait a minute, I'll go to our logistics warehouse and look for it for you!" Before he finished speaking, Master Jia's figure swept past like a gust of wind and disappeared into the room. Gu Yunzhou looked at the cup of tea on the table that he had picked up and put down again, and could only smile helplessly.
