“Sect Leader, she’s disrespecting the class, secretly eating!”
Jiang Bingbing: “…”
You slept for two hours and I didn’t say anything.
And now you’re reporting me?
How shameless can you be, Zhuge Tienan!
Jiang Bingbing silently complained in her heart.
If no one had reported it, Zhang Wei would have turned a blind eye and let it pass.
But since someone openly brought it up,
he couldn’t openly show favoritism.
Zhang Wei pressed his fist to his lips and said awkwardly, “Bingbing, no eating in class. Go stand outside as punishment.”
“Just remember for next time.”
This punishment was already going easy on her.
Who was Sect Leader Zhang?
His strictness and impartiality were well-known in the Sword Sect. Not long ago, two inner sect disciples whispered in his class, and he directly punished them by making them swing their swords three thousand times in the square, all while counting out loud.
You like talking so much?
Let’s make you talk until you’ve had enough.
For someone like him, that fool eating in his class only got off with standing outside as punishment.
The other disciples were jealous.
Indeed, it’s easier to relax under the shade of a big tree.
Having a backer is really nice.
“Okay!”
Jiang Bingbing hugged her food box and obediently stood outside.
Zhuge Tienan, seeing that the other party wasn’t angry, felt it was pointless. It was like punching cotton—the other party’s lighthearted attitude made it impossible for her to feel satisfied.
So she simply lay down again and continued sleeping.
Meanwhile, our little Bing stood outside in the sun, eating pastries, unable to hold back her grin.
Heaven really helped me out!
Class was so boring I could’ve dug my toes into the ground. Thank you, Zhuge Tienan!
If Zhuge Tienan knew how happy Jiang Bingbing was, she’d probably be so angry she’d see stars.
When the noon bell rang,
everyone rushed to the cafeteria to eat.
Jiang Bingbing was already full, and since everyone in the classroom had run off, she decided to go back and take a nap.
She slowly walked inside.
The classroom was empty, except for Zhuge Tienan, who was still sleeping in the corner.
Jiang Bingbing didn’t want to disturb this troublemaker, so she quietly sat down, took out the pillow Hua Kongque had prepared for her from her Storage Bag, and lay down comfortably for a nap.
While half-asleep, someone nudged her.
She thought it was a dream.
But then the person nudged her again, this time with more force, making her arm hurt.
“What!” Jiang Bingbing lifted her head and rolled her eyes.
Then she let out a startled cry and leaned back.
In front of her was Zhuge Tienan’s face, suddenly magnified.
Unlike before,
her dark cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.
Her eyes were uneasy, and she rubbed her hands awkwardly. “Can you get me an autograph?”
“Huh?” Jiang Bingbing was confused.
“It’s just…” Zhuge Tienan, rarely hesitant, took out a small painting from her Storage Bag. “Can you have Immortal Lord Qingxue sign this?”
Pfft!
Her master really was charming!
This girl wants a favor but gave her such a hard time in class!
What was she thinking?
Seeing Jiang Bingbing remain silent, Zhuge Tienan’s thick eyebrows furrowed, as if she had made up her mind.
She took something else out of her Storage Bag.
It was a green, shiny egg!
“This is a Spirit Beast egg my father brought back from a great master’s secret realm. He incubated it for a hundred years, gave it to me, and I’ve taken meticulous care of it for ten years, but it still hasn’t hatched.”
“I’ll give you this egg!”
“No matter how powerful the Spirit Beast that hatches from it, I won’t ask for it back!”
How exciting!
Jiang Bingbing’s heart leaped into her throat.
She loved this kind of unknown thrill.
“No problem!” she agreed without a second thought. “Senior Sister, give me the egg!”
“It’s just a signature—leave it to me!”
Far away on Jade Immortal Peak, Immortal Lord Qingxue sneezed!
Zhuge Tienan looked somewhat reluctant, but she always kept her word and handed the Spirit Beast egg to Jiang Bingbing.
Jiang Bingbing spread her hands open and received the faintly glowing Spirit Beast egg with a reverent expression.
The two of them seemed to be performing some kind of ritual.
The egg suddenly rolled twice in Jiang Bingbing’s palm, and she panicked, gripping it tightly.
“Ah! Senior Sister, the egg moved, it moved!”
Zhuge Tienan was also startled, but then she reacted happily, saying, “It likes you!”
Jiang Bingbing: “Huh?”
Zhuge Tienan: “I said this Spirit Beast egg likes you. It never reacted when it was in my or my father’s hands, but as soon as I gave it to you, it moved—it must be happy!”
That magical?
Zhuge Tienan could actually tell whether the Spirit Beast egg was happy or not.
Jiang Bingbing stared at the egg without blinking. She loosened her fingers slightly, and the green-glowing egg playfully rolled around her palm in circles.
“Wow, so cute!”
“Hehehe,” Zhuge Tienan scratched the back of her head. “I never expected Junior Sister and Little Green to have such a connection!”
“Little Green?”
The Sword Sect’s naming style was really hard to judge.
“Oh, that’s what my father named it. Now Little Green belongs to you, Junior Sister. You can call it whatever you want.”
Jiang Bingbing felt that ever since the egg showed its affection for her, Zhuge Tienan had become much friendlier toward her.
“Then let’s call it—”
She tilted her head in thought, but unfortunately, she was also terrible at naming things. Suddenly, she remembered the turtle she had raised before crossing over, named Stinky, and immediately clapped her hands. “Let’s call it Stinky!”
“…” Zhuge Tienan fell silent, her tone resentful. “Junior Sister, Stinky isn’t much better than Little Green.”
“Remember to incubate it whenever you have time.”
“Hmph, Stinky sounds much better! Got it, Senior Sister!” She was efficient, sticking her butt out and placing the egg underneath before plopping down on it. “I’ll incubate it right now!”
“Oh my heavens!”
Zhuge Tienan was shocked!
She quickly pulled Jiang Bingbing up.
Stinky wobbled like a tumbler doll, spinning in place, probably dizzy from being sat on by Jiang Bingbing.
“Junior Sister, Spirit Beast eggs aren’t incubated like that.” Zhuge Tienan picked up the egg, both amused and exasperated, and demonstrated for her. “You have to do it like this—gather your spiritual power in your palm.”
“Then, gently press your hand against the eggshell.”
“Nurture it with spiritual power.”
“Oh…” Jiang Bingbing blushed.
After teaching her, Zhuge Tienan couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into laughter.
Fortunately, disciples who had finished eating began returning at that moment, or Jiang Bingbing wouldn’t have known how long she would have been laughed at.
The afternoon class.
Was even more dull and boring.
It mostly covered how to guide spiritual power through the meridians and how to more efficiently Exhale the Old and Inhale the New, absorbing spiritual power for one’s own use.
All were boring textbook knowledge points.
Thankfully, Jiang Bingbing had Stinky for company in the afternoon, making it less agonizing.
When the school bell rang.
Mei Lian landed right on time outside Sande Hall.
Jiang Bingbing mounted the Immortal Crane and, seeing Zhuge Tienan hesitating to speak, patted her chest and assured her, “Senior Sister Tienan, Bingbing will definitely complete the mission! See you tomorrow!”
“Alright, thank you, Junior Sister!”
The disciples in Sande Hall were utterly shocked.
How did their relationship get so close just over a meal—the violent maniac and the little fool.
And wait!
Isn’t the little fool riding Immortal Lord Qingxue’s mount?
That’s a seventh-grade white crane!
Watching the white crane soar into the sky, the disciples shook their heads and sighed, “That little fool is really lucky!”
