Chapter 291 Ghost Market Auction

291 Ghost Market Auction
Gu Man looked at the message from Xiang Yin and became interested in the auction he was talking about. “Do you have any information about the treasure?”
“The ghost market seems to be very important this time, so up until now, no information has been exposed.”
From Xiang Yin’s words, this auction was even grander than the previous one.
Although she now had a stone filled with spiritual qi, she was still extremely willing to find the Sarira.
Hence, Gu Man decided to go tomorrow.
After breakfast in the morning, Gu Man brought Huang Jue’s paper to school and handed it to Zhuang Yan.
“Teacher Zhuang, help me take a look. This is the test paper done by my cousin.”
Zhuang Yan nodded and took the test paper from Gu Man’s hand. She browsed through it quickly, and the more she browsed, the wider her pupils became.
“Did your cousin really do this? Of course, I don’t mean to doubt it. I’m just shocked. Are all your family’s genes so outstanding?”
Gu Man was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she still nodded gently. “Intelligence runs in your family.”
“With his results, there’s no problem at all. He can even be accepted. I’ll go back and discuss it with the leader first. Wait for my news.”
“Thank you, Teacher Zhuang.”
After returning to the classroom, Xiao Xiao immediately leaned over when she saw Gu Man. “Did you look for Teacher Zhuang for your cousin’s promotion?”
Gu Man looked over in surprise. “How did you know?”
Zhuang Yan was not a talkative person. She would not tell anyone about this.
“That’s bad. This matter is going crazy on the school forum. I don’t know who posted it, saying that after you had some results, you started to be smug. It’s fine if you bully others, but you even used your results as a threat to arrange for your cousin to enter the school.”
Gu Man looked at the phone Xiao Xiao handed her. There was an endless stream of abuse on it. For some reason, everyone was always on the same side when they scolded her, even if some people had never met her.
“These people are going overboard with their scolding. There are still people who relied on money to enter. Why didn’t they say anything?”
The more Xiao Xiao spoke, the angrier she became. Just as she was about to continue, someone pulled her sleeve. She turned around and realized that it was Lu You. He was blinking desperately and pointing in Gu Man’s direction.
Only then did Xiao Xiao suddenly react. She covered her mouth and looked at Gu Man apologetically. “Manman, I don’t mean to criticize you. I mean that it’s nothing. Aiya, in short, they have too double standards.”
“I know what you mean.”
Gu Man had roughly finished reading the post. It would have been fine if it was about her, but someone actually said that Zhuang Yan used her power for personal gain and was not worthy of sitting in this position.
There were even many such comments, making her feel a little angry.
“Manman, what are you going to do now?”
Xiao Xiao did not dare to say anything else. She carefully looked at Gu Man’s expression. For some reason, she felt that the surrounding air seemed to have turned colder.
“They only know how to speak ill of others behind their backs. What’s the difference between them and gossipers? High-quality high school students? They’re even worse than elementary school students.”
As Xiao Xiao scrolled through the phone interface, she looked at the comments inside. She wished she could immediately crawl into her phone and scold them.
[What do you mean by abusing your power for personal gain? In that case, the principal uses his power for his own personal gain. Are you going to pull the principal down? Everyone knows about this, but they insist on it. I wonder who has ulterior motives.]
[So what if they have preferential treatment for good grades? It seems like you’re the one who’s not good at studying. That’s why you’re so jealous of others, right? When Class One had preferential treatment, why didn’t you stand up? Now, you’re shouting happily.]
Lu You leaned over and exclaimed when he saw the words on the keyboard.
“Impressive, Xiao Xiao. I have to thank the netizens I met previously for not being as eloquent as you. Otherwise, I would have drowned in spit.”
Xiao Xiao puffed out her chest proudly. “Never underestimate the strength of a girl who chases idols. Otherwise, you’ll be taught a lesson.”
