When I first met him, I felt an extremely strong sense of familiarity, as if I had known him for many years. This is how I felt about Dewey.
It was precisely because of this that I was very tolerant of his obviously rude behavior.
I believe he probably has similar feelings towards me, otherwise he wouldn't be so presumptuous.
I have to admire the courage of drunk people here.
You should know that under normal circumstances, even if two people really feel that they get along and can be friends, there will be a process of testing and getting used to each other to confirm whether this feeling is correct.
However, Dewey was different. When he came, he felt like he was at his own home. He was not polite at all.
It even seemed vaguely like a dove occupying a magpie's nest, which made me dumbfounded.
"I like it, of course I do!" He said drunkenly, "But you can't come here often, you know."
As Dewey spoke, his index finger pointed upward vaguely.
Of course I understood what he meant, it was nothing more than tabooing the Supreme Elder.
After all, although he is excellent, he is still as humble as a dust in front of the Supreme Elder who exists like a god in Qitian Academy. There is no way for the two to intersect.
Even in a sense, due to the huge identity difference between them, if they have direct contact rashly, it will cause unbearable pressure on the weaker party.
As a naive person like me, I don't care about this. It's rare that someone is willing to lift me, so I just climb up the pole.
Admittedly, this is also my recognition of my own strength and future potential, and it is the choice that truly suits my personality!
"Then I'll just go out more often in the future! I happen to be unfamiliar with Qitian Academy, so I hope you don't mind if I bother Senior Brother Dewey." I said with a smile.
"Hahaha... mind? It's impossible, not possible in this life!" Dewey laughed while holding the wine gourd, and seemed to be in a good mood instantly.
"By the way, where did Brother Dewey come from this time? If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, I don't believe you went through all the trouble to come here just for a visit?" I said.
Recalling what Dewey said before, it seems that it is not easy to get to my cave.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that this area is also home to a large number of core figures of Qitian Academy, including the Supreme Elder and the Academy Master, so it is naturally heavily guarded.
It's not that they are not strong enough and need to be protected. This is obviously done to prevent these people's practice from being disturbed as much as possible. Who let their height represent the goodness of the academy?
These people can be regarded as the most precious wealth and the most solid foundation of Qitian Academy. It is precisely because of their existence that Qitian Academy can develop better and more smoothly.
"You left in a hurry last night, so I brought these to you!" Dewey said, waving his sleeves, and saw a robe exuding a rich aura appearing on the stone table.
It was folded neatly, and there was a book on it. The four characters "Awesomeness" were clearly listed. Isn't it the prize that I haven't had a chance to claim yet?
Although I already had better ones, my eyes still lit up when I saw them, and I rushed forward without hesitation and picked them up.
These are all won by me through hard work and death. They not only contain my sweat, but also represent my honor.
I am the first place in the newcomer competition of my Qitian Exam this time!
Not only is this ranking not adulterated, there is no "miracle" of being directly promoted by the Supreme Elder like it is now. It is the foundation for me to truly establish myself in Qitian Academy!
Besides, these two prizes are not bad in themselves. If they were placed in the Oriental Castle back then, not even the castle owner would be able to own one of them.
For a poor boy like me who comes from a small place, their value is inestimable.
That is to say, I got better ones from the Supreme Elder by accident, which makes them appear to be slightly inferior.
Seeing my actions, Dewey kept smiling stupidly, as if he had seen him when he first entered the academy.
After a long time, I came back to my senses from this ecstasy, and with a wave of my hand, I took them into my Confucian token.
"Sorry, I lost my composure." I smiled, as if I had never noticed anyone else in the room again until this moment.
"It doesn't matter, I was the same way back then." Dewey responded with an understanding smile and said, "Even crazier than you are now, and I was only in third place at the time."
"Who is the first and second place?" I asked almost subconsciously, but then I realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Dewey said with a bad face: "Why ask so many questions? Anyway, you don't know me."
"By the way, I have another good thing to invite you here. I wonder if you are interested in participating?" he said suddenly.
"What good thing?" I asked, my interest instantly piqued.
"Remember what I said in the square that I suspected I had seen an artifact?"
"After this matter was reported to the academy, it never attracted the academy's attention. Even if it was reported to the higher-ups, they thought I was hallucinating."
"After all, I was just like you back then. I was just in the Taichu state, and I spoke lightly."
"And the artifact is so rare, it's normal for people not to believe it."
"I think if the identities were reversed, I would most likely not believe it if I heard a Taichu disciple say such a thing."
"But this matter is related to my credibility. Although I have been ridiculed for hundreds of years, I still can't let it go."
"At that time, when I was still unconvinced and went to look for it again, I found that the ruins had disappeared!"
"It was like it had never existed before, so much so that I doubted my own experience."
"But I knew I couldn't be wrong, but something like this happened, which really left me speechless."
"So much so that even the few senior brothers and sisters who believed in me thought I was hallucinating and thought I had encountered some kind of blow outside."
"This kind of thing has happened in the academy more than once. I won't tell you how far away it is, but you have encountered it before." Dewey said.
"Have I encountered it?" I asked curiously, but I really had no impression at all.
"Yes, while the academy disciples were performing tasks outside, they suffered an unexpected blow and had hallucinations, which led to abnormal behavior." He explained.
But I still looked at him in bewilderment. No matter how hard I racked my brains to think, I couldn't think of anything that made sense.
"Do you remember Fat Shura, Leng Yaksha, and Bai Rakshasa?" Dewey asked angrily.
"How could I forget!" When I think of being attacked by the three of them, I can't hide my resentment. (To be continued)
