Chapter 254
Changgui stood there, head down, fingers tangled together, not knowing what to do.
Why are they all mocking him? He clearly didn’t say anything wrong...
"Got into our Immortal Armor class through connections and truly thinks he’s at that level? Ridiculous." The freckled boy sneered.
The skinny bamboo pole naturally chimed in, "Sigh, some people, just so ordinary yet so confident, thinking by stepping through this door, they can really become one of us."
Another burst of laughter followed from the group.
In the corner, a person who had been sleeping seemed to be awakened by the noise, she impatiently rubbed her already disheveled hair, and looked up with a gruff voice: "Why all the noise?!"
As if scared by her, the formerly noisy classroom fell silent enough for the drop of a pin to be heard.
The old gentleman was also frightened by her sudden outburst, pulling out several strands of his beard. He painfully flicked away the hairs before saying, "What are you laughing at?"
He had been absorbed in the formula Changgui mentioned, continuously running through the feasibility in his mind, temporarily isolated from the world, forgetting he was still in the classroom, and had neglected to protect Changgui.
What a mistake, what a mistake!
Sigh, and it’s these rich kids, being so petty, isn’t it just because they see that I had to work hard to get into the A class, and Changgui was put into it as soon as he arrived, and also because he’s an unknown kid dressed so ordinarily, it just makes them feel imbalanced and jealous?
When they themselves reap benefits from their family’s status, they feel nothing; yet when they see others with privileges they can’t have, they start getting sour.
Before the old gentleman could continue, the girl, who still seemed half-asleep, scanned the skinny bamboo pole and the freckled boy with a sharp gaze:
"Feng Tian and Zheng Tuo, it’s you two again, isn’t it? What are you laughing at?"
Changgui stared dumbfounded at the unconventional girl, still thinking: Earlier I thought the person sitting there was a boy, didn’t expect someone so boldly imposing to be a girl!
The girl’s slightly messy hair was simply tied back with a few strands from either side, casually twisted into a small braid, with the red hair tie even somewhat frayed.
Skinny bamboo pole Feng Tian and freckled boy Zheng Tuo were stammering for a moment, somewhat afraid to respond.
However, behind every dominant figure there are always a few gossipy little sidekicks, after the girl quickly grasped the situation from the desk in front, she curled her lips with a trace of disdainful smile.
"That’s it? Isn’t it simple? Why don’t you two compete with him? Each of you make a Qi Smoothing Pill, and see whose alchemy produces a superior quality one, won’t that reveal who’s actually laughable?"
The girl’s tone was full of matter-of-factness, as if not giving a suggestion but proposing a must-execute solution.
The old gentleman initially wanted to dissuade her for fear that this young lady might cause a ruckus, but upon hearing the proposal, he immediately closed his mouth, started stroking his beard again, this time full of satisfaction.
This way, wouldn’t it be perfect to verify Changgui’s formula? And it’s Changgui himself doing it, so they can’t say he’s secretly copying someone else’s techniques. Even if he does learn, it’s openly... learning.
The old gentleman lightly coughed: "I think Miss Huo Ting makes perfect sense, and conveniently, our class is for learning this knowledge. Doing it with your own hands surely brings better insights, right? Excellent, let’s go to the Alchemy Room!"
Feng Tian looked a bit cowardly, but Zheng Tuo remained disdainful, as if to say: Could he lose to a newcomer child after studying for so long?
