Chapter 253
This time, the awkward grin on Changgui’s face couldn’t be maintained. He frowned slightly, ignored everyone, and directly came in to find a seat.
"Sorry, this seat is taken."
Even though the seats were separated, one person per table, there was still someone protecting the table next to them, not letting Changgui sit down.
Changgui looked around and decided to sit at the back. In the corner, a guy was sleeping on the desk, so he sat at the empty table next to him.
Seeing him sit there, the others began to snicker.
Naturally, Changgui was puzzled, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. He looked around in confusion, eventually locking his gaze on the guy sleeping next to him. But after watching for a long time, he really couldn’t find anything unusual, so he simply gave up looking for a reason.
Since he was there to study, studying was the most important thing!
Changgui cheered himself on in his heart, determined not to let these people disturb him!
After all, he was attending a free school! The Sect Leader had even specially bought him new clothes! He had to make them proud!
Soon, a bell rang outside, and the students who were just messing around instantly ran back to their seats. That lanky guy and freckled boy also stopped whispering about Changgui, returning to their chosen seats.
Then, Changgui encountered his first challenge—children under fifteen were all in elementary school, and the class apparently was divided based on the big exams’ scores. It was clear there would be many older kids in Changgui’s top class.
Changgui found himself sitting at the back, his view almost completely obstructed by the backs of people in front, making it impossible to see the teacher.
At this moment, the old teacher walked into the classroom.
"Good day, teacher!"
The others stood up in unison to greet the old teacher. It was Changgui’s first time, so he only stood up after seeing others do it, hence obviously slower, but fortunately, he was comparatively short and sitting at the back, not very visible.
However, he heard a very distinct snicker, a sound all too familiar.
The old teacher stroked his beard: "Last time, I talked about the Qi Smoothing Pill. Let’s pick someone to discuss the common ingredients."
The lanky guy’s eyes were full of mischief. He elbowed the desk of the person behind him, as if passing on some message. From one to another, it finally reached Changgui, and suddenly someone on the other side grabbed his hand. Still bewildered, that person raised his hand.
"Teacher, he says he knows it!"
The old teacher had clearly noticed their antics and frowned. Seeing the person in the back was Changgui, he was even more displeased.
But before he could voice his disapproval, Changgui smoothly stood up:
"Five metals, eight stones, Lingzhi, and Polygonum multiflorum..." Changgui recited the recipe for the Qi Smoothing Pill fluently.
After his voice stopped, the classroom was silent for a few seconds.
Then, laughter erupted.
The lanky guy was laughing so hard he could barely breathe, clutching his stomach as he pointed at Changgui: "Hahaha! He actually thinks he knows it! Can he just make it up? I learned something new today!"
Hearing the mocking laughter of everyone, Changgui’s face burned, feeling a bit lost.
However, the Qi Smoothing Pill’s recipe was exactly that, he saw it in the manual, how could it be wrong?
Amid everyone’s laughter, the old teacher, though, was frowning, stroking his beard again and again, his mind recalling the recipe Changgui had just mentioned.
It seemed... it was somewhat even more exquisite?
