Chapter 557: Address Him As Teacher!
“Senior, I came to visit you with that student from our school.”
Xiong Xuejian was very respectful towards this elderly man.
Turning his head sideways, he gave Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yimei a look.
Lu Yimei and Gu Qingjiu kept away their shocked expressions and immediately went up to greet him respectfully. “Hello, Senior.”
Regardless of what kind of person this elderly man was, or what his appearance was like…
But the fact that he became Yin Ruoyi’s teacher showed that he must have some strengths over others.
“Aye, aye. Hello.”
The elderly man was extremely affable. He gently stamped his crutch. “It’s been a long time since other people came here. Eh, nobody cares about a lonely old man.”
“Senior, you must be kidding.”
Xiong Xuejian went up and said with a smile, “Doesn’t that kid Yin Ruoyi come by often?”
“Eh, once a bird becomes fully fledged, he will have to take flight, eventually.”
The elderly man let out a long sigh. Although his eyes were staring in another direction, there was a moment where Gu Qingjiu felt her hairs stand on end. It was as though her presence was noticed.
“Is this kid the talented sharpshooter from your school that emerged recently?”
Although Lu Yimei was also standing here, he seemed to acknowledge only Gu Qingjiu.
Xiong Xuejian simply nodded and said, “Yes.”
“Mm, she’s a talent that can be groomed.”
Both Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yimei were extremely shocked to hear this.
How could he be so certain when he couldn’t even see?
“Let her stay. You and the other classmate can go out first. I’ll get someone to send her back later.”
The old man stamped his crutch. Xiong Xuejian quickly nodded without a second word. “Yes, Senior!”
He then turned around and waved at Lu Yimei.
Lu Yimei raised her brows, then looked towards Gu Qingjiu to show she was leaving. She then went out of the hall with Xiong Xuejian.
After the duo left, with an anxious expression on her face and before she could open her mouth, the elderly man said, “You seem shocked that I could tell that it was you, despite not being able to see.”
“…”
It indeed was very shocking.
Gu Qingjiu nodded honestly. “I’m indeed very curious.”
“Hahaha. Just like your talent, it can’t be explained in mere words. Simply put, it’s intuition.”
The elderly man laughed in a big-hearted manner.
Gu Qingjiu was lost for words.
Thud. Thud.
Stamping his crutch twice, the elderly man moved two steps forward and said, “My surname is Gong. People address me as Elder Gong or Senior. Since you’re here to learn from me, address me as Teacher from now on, just like Ruoyi.”
Gu Qingjiu naturally obliged. She quickly nodded her head and replied, “Yes, Teacher!”
She said in a loud voice without hesitation.
Elder Gong let out a hearty laugh.
“I have instructed plenty in my life. But it’s my first time teaching a female student.”
Hearing this, Gu Qingjiu raised her brows slightly. “Teacher, are you saying that no girls have ever received guidance from you in shooting before?”
“Never mind other areas, there are more boys than girls in the world of shooting. In the past, there was once a female student. However, with her talent, she didn’t need any guidance at all.”
Didn’t need any guidance?
Just how talented was she for her to not need any guidance?
Gu Qingjiu let out an astonished sigh in her heart.
But she didn’t ask and merely kept her curiosity to herself.
She wondered in what way would such an elderly man guide her.
“Although I cannot see, and that I cannot view your competition videos, I’ve heard Ruoyi describe your performance during competitions.”
