evening.
When Sha Tuoluo and Lei Luo came to Gu Bo's home, they seemed to be nervous about reporting the good news about their tutor, and they sat on the chairs a little nervously.
Teacher Gu Bo has not come back yet, Wushuang has been away for a long time, and Bai Ling has not yet returned from collecting specimens, Mrs. Lianyi brought a plate of exotic fruits and placed it in front of the two of them.
Seeing the two men's restrained appearance, there was a touch of tenderness in Ripple.
"Look at your nervousness. Your mentor is not a monster, so he can eat you?"
In the fruit plate is a strange fruit called thunder lip fruit.
Lianyi peeled off the skin of the thunder lip fruit, cut it into small pieces with a fruit knife, skewered them with toothpicks one by one, put them on a fruit plate and handed them to the two.
"Thank you, Ma'am."
Shatuoluo took the fruit plate, looked at Lei Luo and said, "Junior brother, you haven't tasted the thunder lip fruit yet, have you? Thunder lip fruit will only be born in the blood wolf valley deep in the thorn forest every winter. , and will soon be eaten up by the nearby snow wolves, so each one is priceless. The Royal Academy of Sciences worked hard to transplant a fruit tree a few years ago, so that the academy will distribute several fruits to the tutor every year! "
"oh?"
Hearing that this never-before-seen fruit was so precious, Lei Luo became curious and gently picked up a toothpick.
Looking at the milky white pulp on the toothpick, Lei Luo gently put it in his mouth amidst the ripples and Shatuoluo's smiling gaze.
Squeak!
The sudden numbness, the moment the thunder lip fruit touched the lips, seemed to be hit by a beam of thunder, and quickly spread to every cell in the body. Lei Luo instantly felt his whole body trembling in indescribable pain and happiness, The upper and lower teeth chattered.
"Hiss..."
Take a deep breath.
It was only for a short moment, as if it had been a few days, the thunder lip fruit lost its effectiveness and turned into a mellow liquid that flowed down the lips into the throat, but Lei Luo felt his body lighten suddenly, and he was indescribably refreshed.
"Brother, how do you feel?"
In contrast, Shatuoluo has been able to withstand the stimulation of thunder lip fruit as if nothing had happened.
"This, this is amazing! There is such a miraculous fruit in the world, and the evolution of life in nature is really amazing. No wonder the academy would go to great lengths to transplant a fruit tree!"
Laylow had learned the scholar's language of praise.
Mrs. Lianyi smiled gracefully and said: "Work hard, your mentor has a lot of good things, and they will all be yours in the future."
After being told by Mrs. Lianyi, Lei Luo imagined that he would tell his mentor the good news for a while. He had already completed the basic enlightenment. At that time, the mentor would praise him for his recognition. happy!
The instructor never imagined that he could complete the basic enlightenment in just one month!
Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Squeak.
Suddenly, the sound of the wooden gate on the fence outside the house came.
Sha Tuoluo and Lei Luo coincidentally stood up instinctively from the wooden chair as if electrocuted, and looked out the door respectfully.
Mrs. Lianyi saw that the two looked like a mouse meeting a cat, she shook her head and smiled, "Okay, your mentor is back."
Opening the door, Lianyi looked at the preoccupied Gu Bo, and said softly, "Shatuoluo and Leiluo are here."
Gu Bo raised his head, glanced at the two people standing stiffly in the hall, said "En" without saying anything, and walked into the study on his own.
Sha Tuoluo and Lei Luo followed behind the tutor without daring to breathe, and came to the study.
"What's the matter?"
As soon as Gu Bo entered the study, he turned his back to the two of them, looking for something on the bookshelf, without looking back.
After Lei Luo and Sha Tuoluo looked at each other, Lei Luo pursed his lips and said nothing, while Sha Tuo Luo respectfully said: "Mentor, the younger brother has completed the enlightenment course, you can follow the instructor, and this class The new students of the students are studying the basic academic courses together."
Lei Luo lowered his head rigidly, his ears and the base of his neck were flushed with embarrassment.
It seems that being praised by Gu Bo's instructor is Lei Luo's most powerful stimulant in this world!
Gu Bo, who was looking for books, paused for a while, then continued to work on the bookshelf, still without looking back, Gu Bo said flatly, "Already have academic awareness?"
"Yes."
Shatuola responded seriously.
"Well, I see, come back tomorrow morning."
Gu Bo's voice was very calm, as if all this was taken for granted, without even a trace of waves.
Lei Luo couldn't believe it, the anticipation and excitement were quickly replaced by incomprehension, as if a bucket of cold water was poured from the top of his head, pouring it all over his body, instantly receding all the fiery expectations, raising his head, looking at the tutor who was looking for books in front of the bookshelf, the longing to see through, completely Overwhelmed by grievances and loss.
Chen Guo, who worked hard by himself, only got such a response.
Finally, Gu Bo found a yellowed animal skin scroll from the bookshelf and exchanged it for it.
""Psychic Sacrifice", the limbs and organs of human albino patients belong to the psychic offerings of high-level wizards. In recent days, there have been many murders against albino patients in the college. It seems that there are wizards lurking in again... Damn it Rat, do you think this is the dark age when you confront the church head-on!"
Sensen muttered to himself, Gu Bo seemed to have completely forgotten the two disciples standing in front of him, sat on a chair, and focused on studying the animal skin scroll.
Lei Luo raised his head and looked eagerly at Gu Bo, who was completely immersed in the contents of the animal skin scroll, at the desk.
Realizing that the corner of his clothes was being gently pulled by the second senior brother, Lei Luo turned his head to look. The second senior brother pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, signaling Lei Luo to follow him out of the room and not to disturb the mentor any more.
Shatuoluo naturally understood Lei Luo's grievances, and he was also in pain.
I wanted to tell my mentor this good news to make him happy. The happiness of my mentor is my greatest happiness, but I didn't expect to respond in such an indifferent manner.
Not only Lei Luo, but also himself!
For so many years, no matter how hard I try, I will never be recognized by my mentor, and for the same thing, as long as Wushuang handles it casually, he will always be better and more perfect than himself. The supporting role in the shadows, lost and desperate again and again.
The mentor's heart has been completely occupied by Wushuang.
Any achievement, as long as it does not exceed Wushuang's achievements, will always only get indifference and criticism from the mentor, no matter how hard the process is.
Shatuoluo closed the door of the study room gently, as if this door was the most beautiful woman, let him treat it with all his heart, for fear of disturbing the teacher's meditation, he took Lei Luo's clothes and left gently.
"Oh? Shatuola, Lei Luo, why did you leave so soon, let's have dinner together!"
Ripple, who was making dinner, came out of the kitchen.
"Eh? No, Master! Junior Brother still has an important piece of knowledge that I don't understand. I have already consulted my mentor, so let's go back and teach my mentor this knowledge, lest I forget it in a while, ha ha ha."
Shatuola smiled honestly.
Lianyi looked at Lei Luo who bowed his head and didn't dare to look directly at him, with ingenious and delicate thoughts, and suddenly understood what was going on, and glared at Shatuoluo who was lying to him.
Shatuoluo couldn't help restraining his simplicity, lowered his head slowly, and stopped talking.
"Hey... well, study is important. I'll call you again when Bailing comes back in two days."
Lianyi sighed, patted Sha Tuoluo and Lei Luo on the shoulders, hugged them gently like a mother, comforted their hearts, and watched them leave slowly.
When Lei Luo and Sha Tuoluo were far away, Lianyi's pity and sigh suddenly turned into anger, and he pushed open the wooden door of Gu Bo's study, and Gu Bo, who was studying the animal skin manuscript, was startled.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lianyi said: "Shatuoluo has been accepted by you as a disciple for almost twenty years. Don't you know how much wronged you have suffered? What's wrong with him! Isn't it a mistake not to be unparalleled! Now it's all right, there is another Lei Luo, don't tell me you only have Wushuang in your heart!"
Gu Bo snorted and threw the animal skin scroll on the table.
"I'm not just their mentor, I'm also the dean of the college, the founder of the field of academic research on atavistic cloning! I just made a small achievement, do you want me to be like a nanny, and then continue to praise and encourage? Isn't this what he, as a qualified scholar, should accomplish!"
Gu Bo said angrily: "The way to explore the mysteries of evolution has always come out by oneself, not by the encouragement of others! Specimens are not piled up into mountains of corpses, there is no sea of blood flowing out on the dissecting table, and there is no wasteland of bones under the laboratory. If you have the courage to explore and break through all obstacles, you will always be just a third-rate scholar, a dwarf who will never grow up!"
"you!"
Lianyi didn't know what to say anymore, she just looked straight at Gu Bo, and the room became extremely quiet in an instant, only the sound of "gudong" and "gudong" was left.
after awhile.
"Ah... Hahahaha, we are old couples, don't be angry, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future."
After being silent for a while, Gu Bo smiled awkwardly.
