But these two may not be unaware.
So in such a situation, lying might leave a bad impression on the other party.
A person’s worth is sometimes given by oneself. Wen Xishu is the kind of person who absolutely does not remain low-key when high-key is necessary.
For example, at this moment, he knew that if he acted low-key, he would end up being looked down upon.
In a place like the academy, you either respect the background or the talent. If you’re too mediocre, even the teachers will look down on you.
Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:
"Sorry, although you two are teachers, I really can’t answer this question for you."
Ji Bodah was obviously a bit displeased.
Last time the academy was not open, and as a prospective new student who didn’t know my identity, it was forgivable. But this time, since you have already joined the academy and know I’m a teacher, why put on airs?
Of course, his expression remained unchanged, still with a smile on his face.
However, Wen Xishu’s next sentence immediately changed the attitudes of Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan:
"I promised the old principal that all my grades are confidential. But I do have a connection with you two teachers."
"So, if Teacher Ji and Teacher Liu really want to investigate, you will have to trouble Principal Albert."
Liu Ruyan is someone who can observe subtle changes in facial expressions, and she noticed that when Wen Xishu mentioned Albert’s name, he was so calm that she immediately realized the kid wasn’t lying.
Ji Bodah looked towards Liu Ruyan for confirmation, and she slightly nodded.
Ji Bodah was startled.
What level of new student would be personally overseen by the old principal?
Grades confidential, unheard of! If it weren’t for the great impression this boy had previously made on Ji Bodah, and the hint from his wife Liu Ruyan that he wasn’t lying...
Ji Bodah would have thought he was showing off.
But at the academy, showing off is often done by saying "My dad is an official," etc. No new student would dare use Albert as their backer directly.
"At least tell us your name,"
Wen Xishu still shook his head:
"Teacher, even just my name contains secrets, so I must ask you two to inquire with the principal."
He was calm and unflustered, neither humble nor arrogant.
This greatly piqued Ji Bodah’s interest. Ji Bodah wondered, even the name is a secret?
Does such a powerful family exist in the Bunker? Even the Wenren Family and Xun Family can’t achieve this level.
Wen Xishu’s name was indeed a secret.
Because just a check would reveal that Wenxun is from Slaughter Tower Academy.
A student of Slaughter Tower Academy appearing in the rest area of the Desire Tower was inherently unreasonable.
So Wen Xishu threw this issue to Albert. At the same time, he was also using Ji and Liu.
Confronting Albert, Wen Xishu was not afraid of revealing his secrets. In front of someone of that level, he felt like everything about him was seen through.
It just so happened that Wen Xishu also wanted to use Ji and Liu to test Albert’s attitude and appropriately show his value to Albert.
When everyone suspects you have a secret that can help you survive in desperate situations...you better really have such a secret.
"What do you want to know?" Ji Bodah realized he couldn’t get anything out of him.
So he decided to help this boy, and after completing the Desire Tower task, to ask the old principal.
But the old principal is enigmatic, and the mysterious phone call "Mysterious President calling" is often unreachable. Who knows if he can meet the old principal by chance.
Wen Xishu said:
"I don’t know much about this area task, but the key words are, the sixth floor, a girl, falling, a parrot, Jiangcheng."
Ji Bodah and Liu Ruyan exchanged another glance. Isn’t this the task that made Wenren Mirror guilty for a long time?
Wenren Mirror had many regrets in his life, but this task could be said to be as precious as white moonlight.
It was Wenren Mirror’s great regret early in his climb of the tower.
"We actually know a bit about this task, but unfortunately, I can’t tell you what to do."
"That girl named Tang Rui, she wasn’t seeking love."
"Do you know Wenren Mirror?"
Wen Xishu nodded. Ji Bodah continued:
"The academy’s heartthrob, the first in Desire Tower, showed immense talent from an early age."
"He always remembered that Desire Tower is a tower of love. He used love to heal others."
"Of course, not in the sordid way many current students think."
"Wenren Mirror was excellent at comforting others, and coupled with his stunning appearance, he seemed like a man walking out of a dream."
Wen Xishu pondered, if such words as stunning can be used to describe a man, Wenren Mirror must really be extraordinary.
"When he faced Tang Rui, he discovered she had suicidal thoughts. At that time, he was very arrogant and thought all suicidal tendencies stemmed from not being accepted and valued by the world."
"He believed all the problems arose from primary family education issues, leading to the girl’s suicidal thoughts."
"While there were reasons, Wenren Mirror was naive to think all issues could be solved through love."
"In seven days, he took Tang Rui to experience all the romantic things."
"She loved gourmet food, so Wenren Mirror made her the best food she ever had."
"She loved singing, though her voice wasn’t great, but Wenren Mirror still invited her to sing in the open park, attracting much applause from tourists."
"She wanted to see distant places, but due to the regional map limitations, they couldn’t visit certain places, so Wenren Mirror painted large canvases of the world’s most beautiful scenery as he saw it."
"He gave that girl Tang Rui... what countless women dream of in their hearts."
"He indeed saw light in Tang Rui’s eyes."
"But in the end, Wenren Mirror paid for his recklessness. The task completion rate was at the lowest level."
"Even though the girl was immensely happy and loved by an extraordinary man, it was still—just the lowest completion."
Ji Bodah said:
"Wenren Mirror was gloomy for a long time. He eventually realized that the girl didn’t need love, or...she wasn’t a shallow person."
"She suffered from different kinds of pain."
"Wenren Mirror later said—
All tasks in Desire Tower require sincerity. I overestimated my charm, thinking that love could erase all shadows in the girl’s heart. But many people’s lives are filled with suffering, and they never had the chance to feel love, let alone the pain of lack of love. I am saddened by my perfunctoriness and became a fool who doesn’t understand real suffering. But I am more saddened by her end."
Wen Xishu asked:
"How did he know the ending?"
Now realizing the target of the task was Tang Rui, he added:
"Generally speaking, once the task is completed, we return directly, and we don’t actually know the final outcome of the target, right?"
Ji Bodah nodded:
"Indeed. But Wenren Mirror learned about the girl’s fate in a later task in Jiangcheng."
"You may not know, as a new student who just recently began climbing the tower, but..."
"Desire Tower can anchor possibilities. Wenren Mirror felt guilty and thought that if he had been more sincere and anchored that story..."
"Perhaps the girl wouldn’t have died."
Liu Ruyan suddenly spoke:
"Maybe Wenren Mirror had a fondness for that girl."
Ji Bodah looked at Liu Ruyan, slightly surprised.
Liu Ruyan sighed:
"In the process of giving love, one often feels loved as well."
"He cared so much for the girl because the girl also attracted him. But he knew there was a profound gap between them."
"Many Bunker people fall in love with Three Tower people, but Wenren Mirror knew he couldn’t do that."
"He later said he sincerely hopes someone can anchor that story and change the girl’s fate."
"But until now, no one has succeeded. No one has changed that girl’s fate."
