Chapter 1024: Who Is Bao Gucheng Here For?
Bao Gucheng.The man like a War God so distant in the clouds, the man who rarely appears in the public eye, at this moment steps through the audience, walking coldly forward.
The students almost don’t recognize him, only feeling this man’s presence is chillingly oppressive, breathing halted with no one daring to speak.
But the bigwigs on the judging panel recognize him.
Especially Gu Shiyin, who is slightly taken aback, lips parting in surprise, her heart stirring with a light tremor.
How is she so lucky, to come to work at the school and see Mr. Bo.
Since the separation at the ancient tomb, he left with Xi Zuzi without even a glance at her, yet now he’s directly here at the scoring site, who has he come for?
In an instant, Gu Shiyin’s mind spun through several thoughts.
It couldn’t be for Xi Zuzi, she was absent today, not at the scene at all, and she definitely couldn’t be first; the Crown Medal is unrelated to Xi Zuzi.
Bao Gucheng certainly isn’t a judge either, such a small competition isn’t prestigious enough for Bao Gucheng to sit at the judging panel for hours.
Then could Bao Gucheng be here for...
Her heart skipped, watching the man walking towards her, she couldn’t help but speak: "Mr. Bo, are you here as the special guest presenter..."
The tradition for presenting the Crown Medal requires a distinguished man and woman who have made outstanding contributions in their fields as special guests, one holding the medal, the other holding flowers, to encourage the top-performing student to continue striving and serve the nation.
This year’s male guest is unknown, but the female guest was decided early on — of course, back then she was the illustrious Boss of Ma Jia in various fields, before the chaos caused by Xi Zuzi outing her Boss identity.
Thus, Gu Shiyin suspected Bao Gucheng was the mysterious male guest presenter today!
Her voice filled with surprise was cut off halfway by the principal beside her: "Teacher Gu, I’d like to invite Mr. Bo to present, but where’s the ability to persuade him? We at Imperial University are honored if Mr. Bo is willing to guide us in a few words!"
The principal had no clue about the twists in Gu Shiyin’s heart.
He was concerned with how Bao Gucheng had just berated them as stupid, ignoring identity and status, only stating boldly as a military expert that this grandiose military training performance was ridiculed. How can this make Imperial University’s reputation viable on the street?
Thus, he stopped Gu Shiyin’s nonsense and hastily cut to the chase: "Mr. Bo, please take your seat, your straight words are blunt but truthful. We’re all old fools here, probably forgot our brains today. This final score decision, please enlighten us..."
Bao Gucheng walked to the judging panel, face impassive, tone indifferent: "How you score, I’m not bothered. Just one thing: the old-style military boxing is outdated. Recently, a new martial art was released, yet you’re here praising the old and suppressing the new?"
His "just one thing" left the judges on the panel a bit perplexed.
What new martial art, old martial art?
Who did they praise and suppress?
Even Gu Shiyin initially didn’t grasp it, thinking Bao Gucheng was being professionally critical over boxing tactics.
Only the principal squinted his worldly-wise eyes, immediately understanding Bao Gucheng’s purpose, laughing awkwardly: "Mr. Bo speaks too wisely, we failed to keep up, unaware that military boxing had new moves, and just blocked showcasing new moves by the female squad. Foolish! Truly idiotic!"
The female squad showcasing new moves?
Isn’t that the squad Xi Rubao and Wu Qianman belong to?
Gu Shiyin finally understood Bao Gucheng’s real purpose, her expression turning an unbearable shade of embarrassment!
