Volume Nine Thieves Guild Chapter Two Graduation Ceremony
Duanmuqing's enthusiastic expectations were met with extreme disappointment: "Why, can you tell me the reason?"
Gu Yao said lightly: "It's nothing, because I like freedom more. I don't want to be trapped in a cage like a canary. Although I have enough food and clothing, I can't fly in the vast sky!"
When Duanmuqing heard this, her delicate body trembled.
That weirdo said something like this before leaving the inn in Lance County: "You are like a canary in a cage, with no worries about food and clothing, but you can never reach the vast sky.
Flying freely. After finally leaving a cage, I landed in a smaller cage. Do you think this is a sad thing? And I am just a wild bird. No one gives me food, but I am free and happy.
I feel free to do what I like, and I feel very lucky about that.”
It was because of this sentence that Duanmuqing began to fight for her freedom against her family's wishes for the first time, and finally left her family and came to the Holy Academy. Therefore, she has always kept it in mind.
Gu Yao never admitted that he was that weirdo, but on the day of the graduation ceremony, he admitted it through hints. At the same time, he also rejected Duan Muqing and her invitation, which was equivalent to giving up the two of them to be together in disguise.
Opportunity.
But this time, freedom was not his reason, and Duanmu Qing felt that this was just an excuse.
Why, doesn't he like himself?
This is impossible, Duanmu Qing can be sure that Gu Yao has a subtle affection for herself, just like her affection for him, which makes the two of them involuntarily attracted to each other.
"Duanmu Qing, thank you and the Duanmu family for your kindness, but I'm sorry. I can't accept it, and I hope you will live happily in the future!"
Gu Yao took a deep breath and left without looking back. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would change his mind.
If it had been three years ago, Gu Yao would have been ecstatic to receive this invitation, but now, he has a new goal in his life. This goal is so important that it even exceeds his feelings for Duan Muqing.
Looking at Gu Yuan's departing figure, Duanmu Qing was a little confused. Could he still not forget that incident?
"Congratulations to all the students for successfully graduating from the Holy Academy. Here, you have spent a hard and highly competitive college life. At the same time, you have also gained enough capital to allow them to gain a foothold on the mainland! Every one of you is a member of the academy.
We are so proud! On behalf of all the instructors and staff in the hospital, I wish you all a better tomorrow! A better future!"
The graduation ceremony was held in the largest sacred square of the college. After a long speech, Dean Felix ended with a simple congratulatory message. Perhaps the biggest ceremony in the students' lives besides weddings. At the same time, countless weapons made by alchemists
The fireworks props shot straight into the sky from the edge of the square and burst into bloom in the night sky. They were colorful and beautiful.
The graduates all wore uniforms and watched the fireworks blooming in the night sky with excitement. Their hearts were full of hope.
Four years of hard work have finally passed. Dean Felix was right when he said that his tomorrow and future will bloom as beautifully as fireworks and bear gratifying fruits.
After the graduation ceremony, the messengers who had been waiting beside the sacred square swarmed in, turning the scene into a job fair, or to be precise, a competition for talents.
Originally, envoys from all parties could contact prospective graduates to discuss their whereabouts before the graduation ceremony. However, after Dean Felix took office, he made a new rule that it must be done after the graduation ceremony. The reason is very simple. He
Old people like fun.
Although it was already night, the envoys would not wait until tomorrow before attacking. Under the attack of sugar-coated bullets from other forces, the graduates they were interested in would probably fall that night.
Basically, every graduate is surrounded by several to dozens of people, and each force excludes dozens of envoys in an effort to recruit more people. In this way, the number of outsiders is several times that of local students, even in the sacred square
It can accommodate 50,000 people, but it was still packed to the brim.
Dean Felix looked at the lively scene in the square and was very happy. What he needed was this kind of scene. It was so fulfilling. Even after decades, it was still so exciting.
Dean Felix's childish nature also caused Gu Yao's troubles. He originally wanted to leave as soon as the ceremony ended, but he was chased and intercepted before he even left the square. Forces from seventy or eighty directions tried to force him to
Listed as a heavyweight target that must be contacted at the end of the ceremony.
"Classmate Gu Yao, come to Feilong County and get a monthly salary of five hundred crystal coins. In addition, we have prepared a mansion for you, including chefs, maids, and servants!"
"Classmate Gu Yao, Jiawendu is definitely your best choice. You must have heard the saying that there is Sky City above and Jiawendu below. The living environment in Jiawendu is unmatched by any other place!"
"Classmate Gu Yao, our position as Captain of Qingfeng County is vacant. It won't be long before you can continue to be promoted and your future will be bright!"
"Classmate Gu Yao, there are so many beauties in our Mingyue City, and the proportion of women is much higher than that of men. Basically, you can have a different beauties sleeping with you every night for more than 360 days a year!"
"Beauty only seeks fineness, not too much. Classmate Gu Yao, our lord Mo Feidu is willing to betroth our third daughter, the most beautiful woman among them all, to you!"
"Classmate Gu Yao, if you join Ling Gide City, we will designate a few women's restrooms. You can break in as much as you want, and be exposed as much as you want!"
The temptations of these envoys are really all kinds and weird, including everything, money, mansions, beautiful women, official titles, environment, and even the embarrassing things in ancient times in the past are found out and used as capital for recruitment. I don't think about what would happen if those few
If a women's restroom is designated so that Gu Yao can enter and exit it at will, which woman will still use it?
Gu Yao's head was dizzy: "I'm sorry, my intention is just free martial arts..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a new round of bombing.
"Classmate Gu Yao, if you think about it again, our conditions are generous, dozens of times better than those of the freedom warriors!"
"Freedom warriors are wandering and have no fixed place to live. Think about it, living in a luxurious mansion. When you are hungry, a famous chef will cook for you, when you are tired, a considerate maid will rub your back, and when you are thirsty, you will drink the best tea.
,What a pleasant and comfortable life this is!”
"Freedom warriors always have to face danger. We, Jarvan, are prosperous and stable, far away from war and turmoil. Your job will be easy!"
Gu Yao was completely speechless. It was a waste of words to make these paparazzi-like messengers give up. He was too lazy to speak and took off into the air...
Those envoys are all from big forces and have good strength. If they can follow closely immediately, if they can leave others behind and entangle them, then the chances of recruiting them will be greatly increased.
The information clearly stated that this student had excellent Qing Gong, but the envoys still underestimated his skill in Qing Gong.
There was no need to hide here and there. After a few minutes, Gu Yao used the Wind Step to get rid of most of the people.
There are only five envoys left, three beast trainers and two assassins. They are all good at tracking and have rich experience, making them difficult to deal with.
The trainer and the assassin were overjoyed to see that the number of competitors was greatly reduced, and secretly prayed that it would be best to lose a few more, leaving only themselves.
Even if it's not that ideal, five competitors are still better than seventy or eighty.
"Classmate Gu Yao, don't run away. Sit down and talk. I guarantee that our conversation will be very pleasant!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I have something important to do and I won't accompany you anymore!" Gu Yao smiled slightly, and then he seemed to have crushed something, and strong smoke filled the air, covering himself and the five envoys.
.
When the thick smoke dissipated, Gu Yao's figure had disappeared, including his smell and breath, leaving no trace that could be traced.
The envoys looked at each other, disappointed.
At this time, Gu Yao had arrived at the top of the sacred tower. When he saw everyone behind him, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Phew, those guys are really troublesome.
The dress was heavier than before. Gu Yao took out a large pile of small cards from his pocket, which were stuffed in by the previous messengers in the chaos.
The card contained the contact information of all parties. The messengers all knew that Gu Yao's intention was to become a freedom warrior. Even if he could not recruit Gu Yao on the spot, he might change his mind in the future, so they prepared for the worst and left contact.
Way.
Without thinking, Gu Yao threw those small cards away like garbage.
We can't go back to the dormitory for the time being. Maybe someone will be waiting there and stay in the Sacred Tower for one night.
Gu Yao lay down and looked at the night sky. The full moon was beautiful. He liked to enjoy the silence, away from the noise and crowds.
Once upon a time, Gu Yao was afraid of loneliness and loneliness.
My current mentality is becoming more and more like that of a thief. Is it to adapt to the near future?
Suddenly there were footsteps behind him. Gu Yao didn't look back and sighed: "Classmate Dongfang Lu, are you also extending an invitation to me on behalf of the family?"
