Dean Li and Professor Wang, along with their group, left in dejection.
They came with great momentum, but left like defeated roosters.
The ridge between the fields returned to silence.
The villagers' gaze at Lin Wan Yi had shifted from mere curiosity to reverence.
Gu Zhen Guo remained silent the entire time.
He stood there, his towering figure resembling a mountain.
His gaze fell upon Lin Wan Yi.
For a long while.
He finally spoke, his voice betraying no emotion.
"Back to the mansion."
The jeep started up again, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the car, there was silence all the way.
Back at the Gu Family Mansion, Gu Zhen Guo went straight into the study.
Cheng Huiyun immediately came out from the house, grabbing Lin Wan Yi's hand eagerly.
"How did it go? Those old scholars didn't give you a hard time, did they?"
