Chapter 276
After repeatedly emphasizing that it’s impossible he could be Huo Lian’s illegitimate son, Chen Changgui discovered another strange phenomenon.
The formerly harmonious relationship with classmates now inexplicably seems to have distanced, whether or not they previously wanted to play with him, they all have a respectful yet distant attitude towards him now.
What’s going on? Could he have inadvertently triggered something strange again?
Changgui is utterly confused, and even dared not bring out the mooncakes he planned to share.
Damn, he gave one to Huo Huan for nothing, thinking that he was close with Huo Lian!
Returning to the courtyard after school, feeling slightly depressed, Changgui hadn’t even stepped inside before he heard Xiaohua’s laughter.
"This is from the classmate sitting on my right! Pretty, isn’t it? This flower was specially picked for me by the student behind me, hehe, it’s a peony grown by the teacher, he got chased and beaten for picking it!"
Xiaohua kept pulling out various exquisite or pretty trinkets from her arms to show Chen Muxue.
Chen Muxue smiled, patting her head adorned with a large peony: "As long as Xiaohua is happy, I am relieved. But if someone bullies you, you must tell the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader will help you bully them back!"
Xiaohua shook her head: "No one bullies Xiaohua, everyone likes Xiaohua!"
Changgui, who faced cold shoulders as soon as he entered the classroom and was inexplicably shunned by everyone: ... feeling a bit heartbroken.
"Changgui is back too?" Chen Muxue waved at Changgui.
Since Enlightenment Institute finishes earlier, the two returned in different carriages.
Changgui perked up, shaking off his gloomy expression: "Sect Leader, I was really great today!"
He eagerly recounted his small alchemy competition with Feng Tian and Zheng Tuo.
Chen Muxue also patted his head: "You must act within your means; if you can avoid provoking others, try not to provoke them. But when facing such things, if you have the ability to fight back, then fight back. Remember, if you can’t handle it, the Sect Leader is backing you up. Changgui did very well today."
Chen Changgui’s eyes sparkled, as if a dog’s tail was wagging behind him.
Separated by a wall, Changfu pulled Tiger: "Isn’t it improper to eavesdrop? Even if you went in directly to listen, the Sect Leader wouldn’t stop you."
Tiger felt a bit forlorn for some reason: "That’s true, I just want to listen... hey, do you think going to study would really be better?"
Changfu felt overwhelmed just thinking about books and quickly shook his head: "I’ve said beforehand, I won’t go! I’ve planted soybeans in the backyard here, and the Sect Leader said soybeans can make many delicious things besides tofu, I’m looking forward to it."
Upon hearing about delicious food, Tiger’s stomach not only growled: "Why doesn’t the Sect Leader seem to be cooking today?"
Soon they knew the answer—
"The Sect Leader ordered a banquet from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion today, let’s enjoy a good meal!" Chen Muxue waved grandly at the table full of seeming delicacies, yet her heart was bleeding inside.
She couldn’t help but sneak a glance at her right hand, the formerly slowly spreading Black Qi inexplicably occupied the entire hand in an instant, making her feel as if even the iron wok rejected her when she tried gripping it with her right hand.
Judging by how the food she cooked before when there was no Black Qi had beneficial effects, she feared the dishes she cooked now might negatively impact the children, so she chose not to cook for the time being.
On the contrary, her recent cultivation insights had significantly increased, feeling the Spiritual Energy absorption also became much faster, how could this be?
Could it be that Black Qi also advances alongside her cultivation?
