Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 88

Class 9 was completely boiling, screaming everywhere.

No one sat on the bench obediently anymore, and they all jumped up.

Gu Jialing’s eyes were smiling, but his singing voice didn’t change at all, and he still perfectly imitated the old gentleman he admired.

He was so calm, and Xie Jingyuan, Su Miaomiao, and Xu Shou kept their rhythm.

The restlessness in Class 9 quickly calmed down, replaced by a bold and neat chorus.

In that youth, who didn’t have a Jianghu (Wuxia) dream in their heart, and who didn’t want to be a ranger who roamed the Jianghu (martial world) in a chic way?

Among the chorus, the most prominent was Gu Jialing’s bold and unrestrained singing voice, which was desolate and lonely, with twists and turns, and the drumbeat that was full of pride.

The students in Class 8 and Class 10 were the first to interrupt their own class’s program, and crowded to the door of Class 9. Some people moved stools over and lay on the edge of the window to look in.

“He is so handsome. Are they even human?”

The four people who were inseparable, had good looks, good grades, were good at sports, and their talent was comparable to professionals. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, who would have believed it?

The art committee of Class 9 took a complete video of the concert, and after getting the consent of the four people, it was uploaded to the forum.

 In the video, although the four of them were only wearing the most common school uniforms, they were all immersed in it and forgot themselves, as if they had really experienced such a chivalrous world, and they were once lonely and at ease.

For high school students, the indulgence was only short-lived, and most of the time they still had to study.

During the three-day holiday on New Year’s Day, apart from insisting on daily training, Su Miaomiao followed Xie Jingyuan to review and do questions.

Because the final exam was approaching, Gu Jialing and Xu Shou didn’t go home that holiday, and neither of them would admit defeat.

The children were self-disciplined, and Grandma Tao didn’t have to worry at all. She changed into her dance clothes and went to the square.

“Taoist Master, if I can break into the top fifty in the final exam, will you give me a reward?” After completing a chemistry test paper and checking the answers, Gu Jialing stretched and walked to the door of the master bedroom, and asked with a playful smile.

Xie Jingyuan said indifferently, “Study is not for reward.”

Gu Jialing: “…”

The Taoist master made so much money, why was he so stingy?

Gu Jialing went to the living room to call the old man. As long as his ranking rose, the old man would still be very generous.

At that time, Su Miaomiao also received a call from Cheng Yue, saying that she wanted to come and play with her.

Su Miaomiao agreed.

More than half an hour later, Su Miaomiao invited Cheng Yue and Feng Xiaoyu to 1002.

The two girls came there because they wanted to see Su Miaomiao and the others performing. However, when they visited 1002, they were ashamed to find that Xie Jingyuan was reading a book, Xu Shou was doing a test, and Gu Jialing was using his clear and beautiful voice to recite ancient prose in a low voice. Even Su Miaomiao had her coffee table in the living room covered with test papers and textbooks.

“What do you want to play?” Su Miaomiao entertained her friends.

Cheng Yue looked at Feng Xiaoyu, and Feng Xiaoyu also looked at her. They looked at each other for a minute, and they said in unison, “No play, we are here to study.”

Su Miaomiao cleared the coffee table to make room for them.

At eleven o’clock, Grandma Tao came back and warmly invited the two girls to have lunch at home.

Cheng Yue thought that when they relax at noon, maybe the four top students would be willing to perform.

Unexpectedly, because Gu Jialing wanted to compete with Su Miaomiao for the part with the fewest bones in braised fish, in order to resolve the dispute peacefully, Xie Jingyuan actually asked a physics problem at the table. He asked them if they were going to pick up Grandma Tao, how long would it take for them to meet each other. They could only do mental calculations, and couldn’t pick up a pen.

What was even more frightening was that Su Miaomiao and Gu Jialing really figured it out.

Grandma Tao smiled and used chopsticks to pick up food for the two girls, “Seeing that you are so studious, your grades must be very good, right?”

Cheng Yue: “…”

Feng Xiaoyu: “…”

After the meal, the two little girls ran away quickly. In the world of toppers, it was better for them mortals not to get involved.

The video of the four-person ensemble became the most popular post on the school forum not long after it was uploaded.

The direct impact was that when school started after the holiday, wherever the four of them went, there would be a small commotion.

Knowing that Su Miaomiao didn’t see the forum, Yu Le took the initiative to reveal the latest progress, “Miaomiao, you are now recognized as the school belle of the three grades in our No. 1 High school. As for the school grass, the class president and Gu Jialing had basically the same number of votes, and the result of the debate has not yet been reached.”

What Yu Le said while sitting in the front row of Su Miaomiao was heard by the other three members of Qingxu Temple.

Gu Jialing looked at Xie Jingyuan quietly. In terms of handsomeness, the Taoist master was not as good as him, right?

Just as he thought that way, Su Miaomiao said in disbelief, “The votes are even? Can Gu Jialing compare with the Taoist master?”

Yu Le: “…”

The other girls who were secretly paying attention to her: “…” Su Miaomiao, why? Although everyone knows that you are in a relationship with the monitor, you can’t just talk nonsense! It is true that Gu Jialing’s grades cannot be compared with the monitor, but his appearance like the flower of the high mountain and the handsome sunshine has its own supporters. 

In fact, Xu Shou was not much worse, but he was a little darker and too strong, which did not meet the mainstream selection criteria for school grass.

After laughing at Su Miaomiao, everyone looked at Xie Jingyuan.

His eyes were on the book as usual.

Gu Jialing suddenly snorted at Su Miaomiao with the utmost sarcasm, “Your flattery is too obvious, you learned from Su Daji, right? Oh, no wonder your surname is Su, so you were vixen from the very beginning!”

(Su Daji was the favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang dynasty in ancient China. In legends and fictions, she is portrayed as a malevolent fox spirit who killed and impersonated the real Daji)
