Chapter 197 - My Direct Apprentice! (4) (1/2)

Chapter 197 My Direct Apprentice! (4)It is the sovereign’s intent to keep Gao Ge in the Cloud Climbing Stairs.

Three days later, he leaves the Cloud Climbing Stairs because the spiritual jades have been used up.

To his surprise, when he comes back, he finds that there is a decrease in the number of the students.

As to Daotu, he cannot find this man.

“Where have the people of the Heaven School gone?” Gao Ge immediately asks Yan Chao after returning to his room.

Yan Chao signs and says, “The sovereign and the second honorable elder went downhill with a group of students yesterday. I have no idea where they have gone and when they will come back.”

Gao Ge frowns and falls into thought.

Yan Chao laughs, “But it is none of our business.”

Gao Ge asks, “Even if the Heaven School totally collapses, is it also none of your business?”

Yan Chao stares at Gao Ge with widened eyes.

Probably it is because he can’t understand why Gao Ge said that.

Gao Ge shakes his head and doesn’t intend to talk with Yan Chao anymore.

He goes to the hall only to see Daoyuan.

“What are you doing here?” Daoyuan has been disgruntled by Gao Ge before so he naturally pulls a long face upon the sight of this young man. Seeing his face, Gao Ge can’t help thinking whether the man before him is under the animal sign of donkey.

“I come here to ask for spiritual jades.” Gao Ge says.

“Spiritual jades?” Daoyuan is surprised and asks, “Are the spiritual jades that the sovereign gave you before all used up?”

Gao Ge nods his head.

Daoyuan is so pissed off.

“Do you think the Heaven School is an easy mark and you can just ask for as many spiritual jades as you want?”

In fact, Daoyuan’s attitude is not surprising to Gao Ge.

If it were Daotu, he wouldn’t say so much and just brought the spiritual jades over here.

“Only more spiritual jades can help the grandmaster recover soon.” Gao Ge says.

“Hmm. Then I can tell you now, no spiritual jades for you! If you really need them, just wait until the sovereign is back.”

Gao Ge asks instantly, “Where is the sovereign? When will he be back?”

“Why does it matter to you? You will know after he comes back.” Daoyuan says impatiently.

Gao Ge keeps silent for a moment. Then he nods his head and turns around to leave.

He goes to the Cloud Climbing Stairs directly.

After he arrives, he looks rather gloomy and worried.

He sits on the chair and keeps sighing.

Master Guanshan is confused about Gao Ge’s look, asking, “Didn’t you say that you went back to fetch some spiritual jades? How come you return with nothing? And it is not the worst. You keep sighing in front of me. As a man nearly 200 years old, I don’t sigh as much as you do.”

Gao Ge takes a look at Master Guanshan. He wants to say something but then stops.

He must have something to say but he just can’t.

Master Guanshan says in a deep voice, “There is nothing you can’t tell me.”

“It is not a big deal. Yet, you are not healed. Even if I tell you, it is of no help but makes you worried.”

“Tell me!”

Gao Ge coughs, saying, “After I went back to the Heaven School, I found that the sovereign and the second honorable elder were gone. Besides, many students are not in the school either. Only the third honorable elder is in charge of the school’s matter. I asked him for some spiritual jades but he rejected my request and told me to wait till the sovereign was back.”

Master Guanshan takes a deep breath and stays silent for a while.

Then he stands up and walks towards the stairs.

“I will go with you to have a look.”

He says.

Gao Ge feels delighted.

This is the outcome he wants.
