Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

After receiving Principal Li’s call, Lu Xiaobu went to the library to find Zhang Shilin.
I forgot to ask for his phone number just now.
This female top student hadn’t encountered any trouble; she was quietly reading in a corner of the library.
Truly a model top student through and through.
After fetching Zhang Shilin,
Lu Xiaobu headed to the temporarily set-up venue.
Actually, to call it a venue would be a stretch, it was just the auditorium.
At this moment, the auditorium was packed with people, filling every aisle.
Most of these people came from three places: Qinghua Emperor University and Emperor Electric.
Both teachers and students; almost anyone interested in "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" had come.
"Xiaobu, you finally made it, then let’s get started."
Principal Li knew that Lu Xiaobu didn’t like to dawdle and said so in a straightforward manner.
He was a little surprised in his heart.
He hadn’t expected Lu Xiaobu’s name to carry so much weight.
As soon as they heard that Lu Xiaobu would talk about "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty," all these students and teachers put down what they were doing and ran over!
"Okay."
Lu Xiaobu nodded and said to Zhang Shilin, "Go ahead, take your analysis and talk to them about it."
"Huh?!"
Zhang Shilin was momentarily stunned.
She felt somewhat panicky.
She was a top female student, not a female teacher. The idea of giving a lecture was beyond her!
Asking her to give a lecture was like asking for her life.
It wasn’t just her who was stunned; the three principals from Qinghua, Emperor University, and Emperor Electric were stunned too.
"Xiaobu, isn’t it you who’s going to speak?" Principal Li was a bit confused.
"Who is she?" the principal of Emperor University was also bewildered.
"We invited you to give the talk!" The principal of Qinghua wasn’t faring any better.
"Calm down, this is my disciple. Let her do the talking, that should be fine." Lu Xiaobu gestured dismissively: "I’ve taught her everything."
"This!"
The three principals wore faces of difficulty, exchanging glances.
The two principals from Qinghua and Emperor University gave Principal Li a meaningful look.
Principal Li sighed deeply, only to say, "Xiaobu, everybody came here for you. If you don’t talk, I’m afraid they might have complaints."
This was the truth, if not for Lu Xiaobu’s name, it was uncertain how many of these students and teachers would be willing to spare the time to come at all!
"They can keep their complaints to themselves, who needs that kind of talk? If they don’t want to listen, then forget it, I’m leaving."
Lu Xiaobu wasn’t one to indulge them.
His coming here to talk was only to repay a favor to Principal Li; now this issue of people’s opinions.
Did they ask for his opinion?
Hearing what Lu Xiaobu said, with things getting to this point,
The three principals were out of cards to play.
They could only hope to treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
After all, didn’t Lu Xiaobu say he had taught everything to his disciple?
Besides, even if it really didn’t go well, wasn’t Lu Xiaobu still on the scene?
They could only comfort themselves with these thoughts.
But even as they made peace with the situation,
Zhang Shilin wasn’t ready, looking anxiously at Lu Xiaobu she said: "Teacher, I can’t do it!"
"Men can’t say ’can’t’!"
Lu Xiaobu said earnestly.
"But, I am a woman!"
Zhang Shilin was going crazy.
Teacher, where’s your literature? Your talent?
How can you not even distinguish between a man and a woman now?
"It doesn’t matter. What matters is if you don’t go to hell, who will?"
Lu Xiaobu said earnestly once again.
"I! I... don’t want to go to hell either!"
Zhang Shilin was at her wit’s end.
Teacher, even if you want to persuade me, can’t you use a nicer sentence?
"Alright, alright, if you go, I’ll teach you a great essay, how about that?"
Lu Xiaobu played his trump card.
"Really? Better than ’Youthful Heavenly Dynasty’?"
Zhang Shilin’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Pretty much, pretty much."
Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.
It was just a blank check, what did he know.
"Alright, I’m on it!"
Zhang Shilin immediately strode forward.
She didn’t care much for material things, but a good article could make her lose herself!
Seeing this scene, the three principals couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Cunning as old foxes.
Although they didn’t know the specifics, they could more or less tell that this so-called mentor-mentee relationship wouldn’t last long.
Which meant, it was very likely that the girl hadn’t received Lu Xiaobu’s true teachings.
So today’s explanation...
"Sigh!"
The three of them sighed.
Hearing these sighs, Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.
If Zhang Shilin were incompetent, would he bother devising ways to have her follow him?
Really!
Forget it, actions speak louder than words!
Zhang Shilin walked onto the stage and placed her notebook full of notes on it.
However, before she even started speaking, the crowd below erupted.
"Who is this?"
"Yeah, wasn’t it supposed to be Lu Xiaobu’s lecture?"
"Right, we came specifically for Lu Xiaobu, what are you doing here? Opening ceremony? We don’t need that!"
"Let Lu Xiaobu come up!"
"We’re very busy, we came specifically to listen to Lu Xiaobu’s lecture, please don’t waste our time, okay?"
"..."
The entire venue was filled with chaos.
Even the attempts of the three principals to calm the crowd were futile.
These people just wanted to see Lu Xiaobu.
And Zhang Shilin on the stage was indifferent to all of this.
Since she had decided to speak, she would do her best.
She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and began to recite "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" slowly.
She didn’t miss a single word from beginning to end, which showed how much she truly loved the article to her bones.
And because she provided a detailed analysis of the article, integrating the history of this world, her recitation was even more emotional.
It was full of ups and downs, so emotionally charged!
At this point.
The audience below stopped causing a commotion.
"Listen, the recitation isn’t bad at all!"
"Yeah, it’s really good, it seems even more emotional than Lu Xiaobu’s original version."
"Not bad at all!"
"Stop talking, just listen carefully."
"..."
The audience began to listen carefully, one by one.
The venue slowly quieted down, everyone immerged in Zhang Shilin’s recitation.
Those who had managed to come here despite their busy schedules were truly fans of "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" and could naturally appreciate the sentiment in the recitation.
The three principals were secretly impressed.
Not bad at all!
They hadn’t expected Lu Xiaobu’s disciple to be so strong?!
Where on earth had Lu Xiaobu found such a treasure?!
Did Lu Xiaobu have magnets on him?
Attracting top talents?!
How could he be so impressively talented?
Lu Xiaobu, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, watched as the attitudes of the crowd changed drastically.
Face-slapped, eh?
Jokingly, someone I have my eye on, how could they not be strong?
The recitation was just a trifle, the real surprise is yet to come.
Just as Lu Xiaobu had thought.
With Zhang Shilin’s recitation complete, her emotions now in place, and the atmosphere in the hall warmed up.
The explanation, officially commenced!
