Legend of the Gu Demon

Silent and dumb,

Everyone stared blankly at the lonely young man on the podium, while Ningchen also stared at them calmly. They seemed to be standing on opposite sides.

Ningchen is a lone wolf walking in the mountains and wilderness, and they are a group of ignorant and weak sheep.

"Did I hear you correctly just now?"

"He said he wasn't familiar with us? Why did he say that?"

"We are classmates and friends of a Shanzhai, and he actually said he is not familiar with us?"

Then a noisy discussion broke out. Although it was a little noisy, the tone was surprisingly consistent, that is, it was unbelievable.

In their eyes, Ningchen was reduced to a weirdo, extremely unsociable.

Of course, this is not their fault. They are still young. Even though Ning Chen has won Yuan Stone from them many times, and some of them have even been beaten up by Ning Chen.

But they just hate Ningchen. They always regard Ningchen as their classmate, but he has a bad personality and is lonely.

But Ningchen was completely different. He didn't take them to heart at all, and what he said was not against his will.

He was not familiar with this group of people who seemed to be classmates and friends. He could only be regarded as passers-by in his long life.

Don't you hear the ancient saying, "Sigh, the sparrow knows the ambition of the swan!"

Ningchen has always regarded Qingmao Mountain as a cage.

But they naively regard Qingmao Mountain as a warm harbor. How ridiculous and stupid.

Ridiculous! In this huge Gu world, they can only settle in this small Qingmao Mountain.

Stupid! This Qingmao Mountain is just a cage to imprison them, but they think it is a harbor to protect themselves.

Ningchen looked at their astonished eyes and finally expressed the ridicule in his heart with a few smiles.

His black eyes calmly scanned their faces, and they were all stunned, puzzled, and confused.

"Gu Yue Ningchen, what do you mean? Don't you care about the friendship between you and your classmates?"

The old man's voice suddenly dropped, he paused for a few breaths focusing on the word "Guyue", and his eyes revealed a look of scrutiny.

The people on the side had no choice but to keep silent when they heard this, for fear that the angry school master would be angry with him.

"The boss of the Xuetang family is serious. I care about our friendship with them."

"But the boss of the Xuetang family must also know about my family background. My family is really extremely poor, with only four walls."

"And because of this, I need to obtain the Yuan Stone, but how can I, a small first-level Gu Master, obtain the Yuan Stone?"

"Fortunately, there is no unstoppable path, and my chess skills are quite superb, so I suddenly thought of winning Yuan Stone by setting up a chess game. Why not have fun?"

"My good friends and I can obtain some Yuan Stones through chess games. Isn't that too much? Hahahaha!"

Faced with the scrutiny of the school elders, Ningchen not only remained calm but also walked around the school.

He was talking so eloquently and so clearly that the school master didn't know how to refute.

"This... what he said seems to be correct."

"Isn't Ningchen's family well off? Why didn't I know?"

"Listen to him, is it possible that his parents are dead?"

"this..."

A boy is just a boy after all, and his mind was easily shaken by Ningchen's few words.

The anger and confusion in my heart were dispersed by Ningchen for a while, making it difficult to condense again.

"This kid...there's really nothing wrong with what he said."

"No, I was almost bypassed by him! His family background is not good, could it be that the other students' families are no better off?"

The school elder didn't know how to scold Ningchen for a while. After a moment of silence, he discovered the loophole in Ningchen's words.

"In that case, Ningchen, why do you want to seize other students' Yuan Stones? The other students' family backgrounds are not much better than yours!"

"But, I have never forced them to bet."

Faced with the scolding from the school elder, Ningchen smiled secretly in his heart and revealed the most critical factor.

The school elder was originally confused by Ningchen's long speech. He thought he had discovered a loophole in Ningchen's logic.

Unexpectedly, Ningchen revealed the most critical factor.

When the school master heard this, he became completely silent and put his hands on the table, making people wonder what he was thinking.

Ningchen smiled even more happily when he saw this, and turned to look at the students who were watching.

His calm black eyes swept over them quietly, and they lowered their heads shyly.

Yes, no matter whether Ningchen won their Yuan Stone or not? By what means?

These are not the key points. The real key is that they took the initiative to bet.

Since they have made a bet, they must be prepared to ‘lose’.

What is gambling? It’s called “gambling” if you win or lose!

Reality is not a child’s fairy tale. How can everything be fulfilled?

Ningchen saw that the atmosphere was almost perfect, and he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

"Why aren't you talking anymore? Is there any problem with what I said?"

"..."

The students were even more silent after hearing this. After all, there was indeed nothing wrong with what Ning Chen said.

But they are at their most high-spirited age, how can they tolerate a peer speaking nonsense in front of them? They can't swallow this breath!

And what Ningchen did was to guide this tone out,

"Shut up! You're a mercenary guy! You don't care about the feelings of our family at all!"

I don’t know who made the first move and stood up first, with an excited face and saliva flying from his mouth.

This stop seemed like a fuse was lit. The other teenagers were also excited for a moment and stood up one after another to yell at Ning Chen.

"That's right! Why do you take our Yuan Stone!"

"Our Yuanshi was given to us by our parents, how could we give it to a heartless and unjust person like you!"

"People like you without parental education will never understand!"

The outrageous insults spewed out of their mouths incessantly, even rising to the level of personal attacks and even parents.

Ningchen saw dozens of young people getting excited and yelling at him, and was a little panicked for a moment.

The calmness in the black eyes disappeared, and a trace of panic quietly emerged.

His lips and cheeks were a little white, and if you looked closely, you could see that his body was even trembling slightly.

"You...you!"

"Oh~ I was probably wrong. I will no longer set up this gambling game from now on. I hope you can forgive me for my past mistakes."

Ningchen's legs softened and he took a step back. This step seemed to have drained away all his calmness and courage.

When he spoke again, he was no longer as calm and calm as before. He was completely different from the person who was talking calmly and calmly just now.

"Hmph~ That's pretty much it!"

"Forgive you? It depends on our mood."

"It's okay. If you know your mistakes, you can improve a lot."

Facing Ningchen's miserable appearance, although everyone showed different postures and attitudes, they were extremely happy in their hearts.

Seeing this, the school master also smiled slightly. Although the smile was very shallow, there was still a hint of ridicule.

"Ningchen, Ningchen, you have little experience after all! This is the power of the family!"

Among the crowd, there has always been a woman with an exquisite face, but she is incompatible with the others. Naturally, it is Haoyu.

There is a hint of admiration on her delicate face from beginning to end.

"Ningchen, what exactly are you thinking?"
