Chapter 222: The Headmaster Summoned

Then, another person said, "My dear Gu, I am from the King's family at Dawn. I have long heard that you are an extraordinary person. If you have time, you are welcome to come to our family residence and rest for a while!"

Before he finished speaking, another person came forward, smiling broadly, and said, "My unremarkable younger brother also participated in the trial this time, but his strength was not up to par, and he only reached the third level. If you, little friend Gu, have some free time, I will definitely bring my younger brother with me to visit you!"

For a moment, Gu Yunzhou was surrounded by people, and various invitations came one after another.

Just as the two of them finished their conversation, a large group of people who had been secretly paying attention to the developments here suddenly rushed over like a tide, pushing Jiang Liunian, who was originally standing next to Gu Yunzhou, aside.

"Hey, everyone, could you please stop pushing so hard?" Jiang Liunian yelled helplessly. He muttered to himself, "Why aren't you all so attentive and enthusiastic towards me? Humph, you're all just attracted by my extraordinary potential and want to take advantage of this opportunity to build a relationship and get close to me."

Hehe, thankfully, I had the foresight to forge a deep friendship with Yun Zhou early on, a true confidant. No matter how passionate you all are, you can never hope to compare to the unbreakable bond we've forged through shared life-and-death trials!

Thinking of this, Jiang Liunian's slight unhappiness at being squeezed out of the crowd immediately disappeared. At this moment, he looked at the noisy group of people, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, just like a mouse that successfully stole oil to eat, his heart full of pride.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunzhou, after much effort, had barely managed to get rid of the overly enthusiastic group. However, at that moment, he felt a dull headache and couldn't help but gently rub his temples.

Wow, these people are really generous! Some want to give him invaluable cultural treasures, while others generously offer him a luxurious mansion and a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

What's even more outrageous is that some people even started to set their sights on his personal marriage, asking him whether he was already married and claiming that their daughter was still young and had not yet been betrothed, and that if she could marry him, they would be a perfect match made in heaven.

Faced with this series of overwhelming and enthusiastic actions, even Gu Yunzhou, who was always calm and composed, felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Let's put aside those people's petty schemes for now and just talk about Gu Yunzhou. He rejected every olive branch offered to him without exception. Just then, a middle-aged man with a warm smile, a gentle demeanor, and a generous demeanor slowly approached Gu Yunzhou and said softly, "Congratulations, Young Master Gu! It's been a long time since our Shushan Holy Land has produced a person as talented as you. I'm Zhong Xun, and I've been asked by the headmaster to invite you to visit us for a while!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, the representatives of the major families around him who were originally trying to win over Gu Yunzhou stopped their actions instantly. They wilted like eggplants hit by frost, obediently made way for him, and stared at Gu Yunzhou with envy.

After all, this summons was no ordinary figure. Everyone knew that the position of Headmaster of the Book Mountain Holy Land was held in rotation by twelve highly respected elders. And this time, the Headmaster was none other than the renowned Fourth Elder. Judging by the tone of the messenger, it was highly likely that Gu Yunzhou would be accepted into the School of Literature at the Book Mountain Holy Land.

Gu Yunzhou naturally agreed to this situation. You know, he has always had a strong curiosity and yearning for the most advanced institution of higher learning on the Tianxing Continent.

So, he first bowed and said goodbye to Jiang Liunian beside him, and made an appointment with him to meet again later, then he followed the middle-aged man and walked away towards the mountain where the endoscope was.

The academy in the Holy Land of Book Mountain is built in the inner territory, covering a vast area. It not only covers a mountain, but also backs on a big river. It can be said to be a place with excellent scenery surrounded by mountains and water.

The middle-aged man brought Gu Yunzhou with him, and amidst the surge of literary energy, he summoned a light boat. The boat's shape was simple and regular, with smooth and natural lines, as if it had been created by nature. Upon closer inspection, a faint sense of literary energy rippled through it, clearly no ordinary item.

The two of them gently stepped onto the boat. With a flick of the middle-aged man's finger, the boat instantly shot out like an arrow, speeding towards the academy halfway up the mountain. Along the way, Gu Yunzhou could only feel the whistling of the wind in his ears, and the scenery on both sides quickly receded, and he was filled with amazement.

Soon, the boat arrived at the academy's gate. The man waved his hand, lowered the boat, and carefully stowed it inside the Wen Palace. Turning to the curious Gu Yunzhou, he patiently explained, "Young friend, you may not know this, but flying is strictly prohibited within our academy unless you have special permission from the headmaster. So, we'll have to walk in!"

Gu Yunzhou nodded repeatedly, indicating his understanding. At this moment, he stared with wide eyes, astonishment at the magnificent and majestic buildings not far away.

Palaces and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner, some towering into the clouds, some small and exquisite; some are magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, while others are antique, simple and elegant. These buildings echo each other, forming a magnificent picture that makes people fall in love with them.

At this moment, they were at a huge mountain gate, whose width reached an astonishing two meters! This mountain gate looked magnificent and gave people a solemn and dignified feeling.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was crafted from a special stone Gu Yunzhou had never seen before. This stone was a deep, dark green in color, as if it contained an endless amount of mysterious power.

The surface of the gate is meticulously carved with simple yet elegant relief patterns, the lines of which flow and appear lifelike. At the very top of the gate, a few large, flamboyant characters are inscribed: "Shushan Shengdi Academy"! The vigorous and powerful brushstrokes reveal an otherworldly aura.

From time to time, one could see young students with impressive bearing filing out of the mountain gate. When they caught a glimpse of the middle-aged man, they would all stop, bow respectfully, and address him as "Master Zhong!" This showed that Master Zhong held a high prestige within the academy.

"Let's go, child. This academy covers a vast area, but you'll have plenty of time to familiarize yourself with every nook and cranny. When the headmaster learned of your successful return from the trial grounds, he couldn't wait to have me take you to him."
