Wan Lixiu and the others all carefully committed it to memory.
They had never seen Zuo Xiaoduo hold anyone in such high regard. This truly was a first.
Anyone Zuo Xiaoduo would praise like this had to be worthy.
This had long been a consensus among the five, otherwise known as basic common sense!
"The principal of Shuicheng First High School was once a great general of the Southern Army: Gu Qianfan, the No-Return Sword. Back when Gu Qianfan was the Southern Army's foremost vanguard, he charged to the front in every battle, choosing to break rather than bend. His No-Return Sword took its meaning from this: better to reach straight for what you seek than pursue it by crooked means. Once his sword was drawn, there was no return, only an unrelenting advance."
Hu Ruoyun said with a sigh, "Former Principal Gu Qianfan later encountered Venerable Liehuo in battle. A blast of true essence fire destroyed half his body. The frontline healers exhausted every method, but still could not restore him, and his life hung in the balance. To save him, Marshal Nan Zhengqian personally went to beg for a Heaven-Reversing Pill. The one who controlled the Heaven-Reversing Pills was old Minister Nan of the Ministry of Finance, Marshal Nan's own father. The old man laid down his condition: when his term as marshal of the Southern Army ended, he had to return and take over the Ministry of Finance. Otherwise, there would be no Heaven-Reversing Pill."
"Marshal Nan agreed without hesitation, obtained the Heaven-Reversing Pill, and saved Gu Qianfan's life."
"Gu Qianfan felt he had let Marshal Nan down, and his body was disabled as well, so he resolutely retired from the army. Later, he became principal of Shuicheng First High School, where he has remained ever since."
