Chapter 1902: The Results Are Out
Gu Huaijin snapped irritably, "What’s supposed to be wrong with me?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Have you noticed you’ve been talking more? Like a... nagging old mom?"
Gu Huaijin: "..."
As soon as Gu Zhiqi said that, Gu Huaijin fell into a long silence.
Obviously, he’d realized it himself too.
And then he sank into deep self-doubt.
Could it be that being an ’empty-nest old man’ at home by myself for too long finally made me like this?
She didn’t know what was going on in his head, but when she saw that he hadn’t said anything for a long while, Gu Zhiqi realized she might have said something she shouldn’t have, so she hurriedly changed the subject. "Big Brother, was there something you needed when you called?"
The moment Gu Huaijin heard that, he immediately remembered the main thing.
"The college entrance exam results are out. You and Yueyue both got full marks in all subjects. Several universities have called, Imperial University and Yan University both called too, asking if you want to apply."
"They mean for you to think it over carefully. I figured I should let you know."
The exam results came out at dawn yesterday.
But even before they were released, Imperial University and Yan University already knew and had called Gu Huaijin one after the other.
Gu Huaijin had learned their scores from the principal of Imperial University.
He’d called Gu Zhiqi first to tell her the results, and second to ask for her thoughts again.
Even though Gu Zhiqi had said before that she wanted to go to the First Institute, there was always a chance she’d changed her mind.
However, Gu Zhiqi hadn’t changed her mind and directly said to Gu Huaijin, "I’m going to the First Institute."
Hearing her answer without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Huaijin felt a faint sense of regret, but he didn’t say much more. He only asked, "When are you coming home?"
Gu Zhiqi: "Around late July."
The third and fourth rounds of the trials weren’t done yet, and each round took half a month.
If she finished all the trials, it would already be around the twentieth-something of July.
There was a few seconds of silence on Gu Huaijin’s end, then he said to Gu Zhiqi, "Grandpa’s 80th birthday is on July 26th. Can you make it back?"
Upon hearing that, Gu Zhiqi immediately replied, "No problem."
Of course she had to go back for Grandpa’s big birthday.
Gu Huaijin: "Alright. When you’re coming back, call me ahead of time so I can pick you up. Take good care of yourself over there..."
After that, he went on to nag her about a whole bunch of things.
Gu Zhiqi fell silent again, unable to figure out when her taciturn big brother had turned into such a nagging mom.
This time though, she didn’t say anything and patiently listened till the end.
By the time the call ended, it was just in time for dinner.
After eating, she met up with Ling Zhiyu and Tang Yichen again to head into the Trial Realm, starting the third round of trials.
**
After the third round of trials ended, Gu Baba’s score in the Fragrance Technique and Alchemy Trial Grounds had gone from over twenty thousand to over thirty thousand, almost hitting forty thousand.
Watching the rapidly climbing points, the people who were constantly refreshing the leaderboard were already numb.
They were starting to doubt whether this Gu Baba was even human.
Getting that unprecedented 9999 points was one thing.
Now it was already over thirty thousand points.
Did this person not have an upper limit?
Is she planning to just ascend straight to the heavens with how OP she is?
The Ancient Martial Arts World forum had already blown up several times because of Gu Baba, and tonight, it looked like it was going to blow up again.
Gu Zhiqi, however, knew nothing about any of this.
That night, after the third round of trials ended, Gu Zhiqi once again came out in the middle of the night, only to find someone waiting for her again—it was Su Yunling, whom she hadn’t seen in a month.
She didn’t even need to look around on purpose; the first person she saw when she stepped out was Su Yunling.
