Chapter 211
Seeing Gu Chen's dumbfounded expression, Mu Ziyu shook her head.
"You don't know how exaggerated the rumors outside are."
"After all, Junior Sister Lanchu is the empire's princess. It's strange that she didn't marry Huangfu Clan's heaven's favored son and resolutely ran away from the marriage. Moreover, many people have seen her with other men. Naturally, there are all kinds of speculations."
"The people of Nine Regions all say that someone made Huangfu Qingming a cuckold. This matter made Huangfu Clan lose a lot of face. The imperial family is furious and wants to thoroughly investigate this person's background."
Mu Ziyu said. She had heard all kinds of rumors in the past few days. Some people even said that Princess Lanchu was pregnant and eloped for the child in her belly.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Rumors were extremely terrifying.
Mu Ziyu didn't believe all of this. She and Ji Lanchu were like sisters and knew that she had always been clean.
During those days in the academy, Lanchu had countless pursuers, but she had never treated any man differently. Not to mention eloping with someone else and even getting pregnant.
However, it was true that there was a man who helped Junior Sister Lanchu escape. She was puzzled. What was the background of that man?
Today, after seeing Gu Chen, reading Junior Sister's recommendation letter, and hearing Gu Chen call Junior Sister, she couldn't help but associate the two together.
Could this man be the main character of the rumor?
Looking at the other party's embarrassed expression, it was 45% likely!
"Junior Sister Lanchu can't really like him, right? Otherwise, why would she write a recommendation letter for him and ask me to help him as much as possible? That girl has never been so attentive to a man. "
Mu Ziyu's thoughts were flying, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This man called Chen Gu in front of him looked too ordinary. He didn't look like he had any background.
Such a person, let alone the heaven's favored son of heaven, Huangfu Qingming, even if a stone was casually thrown in the True Martial Academy, it would be able to hit a better target than him.
If Junior Sister Lanchu really liked him, it would be like planting a flower on cow dung.
Thinking that her junior sister's reputation had become very bad because of this person, her impression of Gu Chen immediately worsened.
"How can I help you?"
Although she was unhappy, Mu Ziyu was still very self-restrained.
Since Junior Sister asked her to help, she would definitely do her best.
"I wonder if I could trouble Miss Mu to help me find a job in the True Martial Academy?"
Gu Chen had no idea that Mu Ziyu had so many thoughts in such a short period of time. He pondered for a moment before replying.
He had come to the True Martial Academy to look for clues about Jiang Yige. Naturally, he had to have a legitimate identity.
He didn't want to become a student. It would be too troublesome for him to come and go. It would be best if he could find a job here. It would be more discreet.
"May I know what kind of job Childe Chen is looking for?"
Mu Ziyu sighed inwardly.
The True Martial Academy was a famous holy land for cultivation in the continent. However, he needed to rely on Junior Sister Lanchu to make a living. What was the use of this man?
"Forget it. Maybe I underestimated him. Maybe he came to the True Martial Academy to improve himself so that he could be worthy of Junior Sister Lanchu."
Mu Ziyu thought to herself. It was not a big deal for a man to be poor for a while. As long as he had the desire to improve himself, he might be able to achieve great things in the future. Maybe he had some qualities that attracted Junior Sister Lanchu.
"Help me find a more leisurely and relaxed job."
Gu Chen thought for a moment. He couldn't waste too much time on other things if he wanted to find clues about Jiang Yige.
Hearing that Gu Chen only wanted a leisurely job, Mu Ziyu's face turned a little ugly.
If he didn't want to improve himself, how could he have any good qualities?
"Does this matter make things difficult for Miss Mu?"
Gu Chen couldn't help but ask when he saw that Mu Ziyu's expression was not very good.
"It's not difficult at all."
Mu Ziyu's face turned a little cold. "It just so happens that the academy's library building is lacking a supervisor. Usually, there are very few things to do. All you have to do is help tidy up the books and guide the students. What do you think of this job?"
"Let me be clear with you first. The remuneration for this job is very ordinary. I'm afraid that the crystals you can receive every month won't even be enough for your expenses in the academy."
Gu Chen sensed that Mu Ziyu's attitude had become a little strange. However, he was tempted by the position of the library building's supervisor.
This job was very good. He had enough time to complete the task.
Moreover, there were bound to be many ancient books in that place. After coming to the Middle Earth Empire, he had always felt that his knowledge in various aspects was somewhat lacking and needed to be supplemented.
"Alright, I'll trouble Miss Mu with this job."
Gu Chen looked rather satisfied. When Mu Ziyu saw his expression, she felt somewhat indignant.
"It's impossible for Lanchu to fancy such a kid, right? What does this guy have? He doesn't have looks, doesn't have a background, and doesn't even have any ambition! "
She couldn't wait to find her Junior Sister immediately so that she could rein in her horse before it was too late and not go astray.
Unfortunately, Princess Lanchu had long since left the Nine Provinces. She could only grit her teeth in hatred.
"Alright, I'll take you to the library building now. Not many people are willing to do this job anyway. I can still make the decision."
There was a hidden jealousy in her words. Gu Chen didn't hear it and just nodded.
"Thank you, Miss Mu."
Mu Ziyu then led Gu Chen to the True Martial Academy's library building. The scenery along the way was pleasant.
The True Martial Academy was too big. The buildings had a unique style and revealed a profound teaching heritage.
Gu Chen looked left and right along the way. It was necessary to understand the layout of the buildings here so that it would be convenient for his future actions.
There were many students on the way. They were all wearing the True Martial Academy's dark blue uniform. They all looked full of vitality.
Being able to study in this academy meant that they were the best among their peers. Therefore, everyone's face was brimming with confidence.
All of a sudden, a thin figure came into Gu Chen's sight at the corner in front of him.
It was a young girl with limpid eyes and jade-like skin. Her appearance was no worse than Mu Ziyu's.
However, she was a little younger and had a cold temperament. It was as if she was arrogant and unapproachable.
Gu Chen's pupils slightly shrank at this moment as he stared at the young girl.
The young girl happened to come over and also saw Gu Chen and Mu Ziyu beside him.
"Teacher Mu."
She walked up to him and simply called out to him in a cold tone.
"Qing Shuang, long time no see. I heard that you just defeated Ling Xiaoxiao and improved your ranking on the True Martial Hidden Dragon List. Congratulations."
Mu Ziyu looked at the beautiful young girl and showed a kind smile.
She understood the other party. She had always been cold. It was just her personality. She didn't have any prejudice against her.
"It's just the Hidden Dragon List. My goal is the Honor List. There's nothing to be happy about."
Ye Qingshuang shook her head. Her beautiful eyes swept to the side of Mu Ziyu and saw Gu Chen.
She couldn't help but frown. Why did this person look at her so strangely?
