Chapter 285 Exposed: The Thin Bucket is a Monster! (Revised)

"nothing."

Shang Yanting withdrew his gaze and looked down at Jia Xitong, "Are you hungry?"

"Hmm... a little."

After saying that, Jia Xitong shook her head again, "I think it's better not to eat anything. Everyone is watching us, and I feel that eating might affect your image."

Even if she were slow to notice, she could sense the flattery people around her were giving Shang Yanting. In this situation, she certainly couldn't afford to lose face.

Jia Xitong hunched her back ramrod straight, and every move she made was exceptionally ladylike and... affected.

She said earnestly, "We fairies don't eat. You go ahead and do your own thing, don't worry about me."

Shang Yanting watched her affected manner...

In his eyes, Jia Xitong's affected manner was also cute!

He pinched her chubby cheeks. "Come on, let's go and meet the people here."

He grabbed her hand, holding Jia Xitong's four fingers tightly in his palm, and nodded slightly to a middle-aged man with a square face, "This is the general manager in charge of all the teachers in grades one, two, and three, Manager Li Maochang."

"Good day, Manager."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xitong instinctively greeted him.

"No, no, please just call me Li Maochang."

Li Maochang lowered his head, knowing his own status, and adopted an extremely humble posture.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, Sir. We are here today simply to discuss the Dao."

Shang Yanting revealed a harmless and warm smile, a signal of goodwill that was unmistakable. Li Maochang didn't know why, but a smart person would seize this opportunity.

"I do have many questions about martial arts cultivation. I wonder if the Peak Master has the time to answer them for me."

Shang Yanting smiled slightly and led Jia Xitong to a quiet spot to sit down. There was no need to look for anyone; the people automatically came forward.

Sitting next to her, Jia Xitong learned for the first time that the academy actually had various types of teachers with different responsibilities, such as the Director of the Academy, the Director of the Cultivation Academy, and the Abode of Retreat.

The names and the person in charge were quite confusing. She listened to them talk for a long time and couldn't help but yawn several times.

Shang Yanting stopped talking and looked at her. "Tired?"

"No."

Jia Xitong straightened her back again. Now she was in the Xianlongfeng image. How could the little fairy of Xianlongfeng be sleepy?

"Peak Master, there are private rooms upstairs. Please invite this fellow Daoist to go up and rest."

A monk nearby offered a warm suggestion.

No, I don't need it.

Jia Xitong widened her eyes to show that she would not fall asleep again—as the face of the group, she had to maintain her elegance at all times.

"Go."

Shang Yanting gestured for her to look at the sun outside, "It's almost noon."

Noon.

The humanoid form will disappear after two hours.

Jia Xitong instantly understood Shang Yanting's meaning and stood up abruptly, "Dear host, I'm going up now!"

"Um."

Shang Yanting looked at her and smiled, then said softly, "I'll come up to pick you up in a bit."

Even heroes have always found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women.

Watching the interaction between the two, the onlookers exchanged glances. They inexplicably felt that this Peak Master Yan had come to their gathering mainly to flaunt his relationship with this female cultivator.

But is it necessary?

They were just a group of ordinary college teachers.

It's impossible to tell what Yan Qing is up to.

On the other side

Jia Xitong walked to a secluded spot and jogged upstairs.

Shang Yanting's estimate was correct, but not long after going upstairs, Jia Xitong suddenly appeared in a puff of white smoke, and her human form vanished from the spot, leaving only a pile of clothes and a raccoon.

"Wow!"

Every time, Jia Xitong's clothes are too gorgeous, the raccoon gets stuck and can't move.

It's easy to come out.

Having finally emerged, she couldn't help but shake herself off before gathering up the expensive clothes and jewelry from the ground.

Just then, a loud crash came from inside the room.

Jia Xitong, who had just finished packing her things, paused and abruptly turned around. Could there be anyone else in this room?!

Her expression hardened, and her eyes searched every corner of the upstairs room.

Under the table,

In the cabinet,

Under the bed

On the bed,

The roof beams...

There was no sign of anyone else, but there was a strange, movable mechanism in the inner room. The mechanism swayed from side to side, and broken porcelain cups were scattered under the table.

It was unintentional.

She breathed a huge sigh of relief, but also became more vigilant.

When a complete person goes upstairs, they naturally can't turn into a raccoon and go downstairs.

Thinking that there were still people outside who needed to be fooled, she took out the puppet from the talisman.

The head, hands, and feet of this puppet were incredibly realistic, and its body resembled a bizarre puppet made of wood. The hands, feet, and head were even the kind that were stuck into wood. If there were a second person present, they would definitely be scared to death by the terrifying puppet made by Shang Yanting.

Using her soul power to manipulate the puppet, she straightened her clothes and gently picked up the raccoon from the ground.

"Oh, let's go, little raccoon, let's go see those silly humans downstairs."

Jia Xitong hugged her own body and started playing with it casually. "What? You're saying my body is terrifying right now?"

We cut it off.

Hehehe!

She let out a terrifying laugh and left, leaving only the clicking and clacking of mechanisms in the second-floor space...

A long time passed

A sudden, terrified gasp filled the room! On the innermost wall, a huge cloth revealed its true form; it fell from the wall, covering a person!

It's Sharp!

He clung tightly to the wall like a gecko, looking terrified.

The thin barrel is a monster!

He saw it, he saw it with his own eyes.

After the thin barrel entered, a cloud of white mist rose from the spot and transformed into a hairy, canine-sized monster. Then, a second thin barrel appeared out of thin air, with only hands, feet, and a head, held in place by an X-shaped piece of wood.

Her clothes perfectly concealed her problem, and she walked out like that!

I have never seen anything so bizarre.

Sharp's worldview and knowledge from the first half of his life seemed to have been refreshed. He picked up the invisibility shroud that had fallen to the ground with lingering fear. Fortunately, he still had this skill, which helped him turn danger into safety at the critical moment.

Everyone was fooled by this monster!

Sharp felt both fear and excitement at the thought of the monster. He was prepared to expose it on the spot, but he forced himself to hold back.

This is a great opportunity; he must make a name for himself!

Whether the peak master outside was good or bad was unknown, and the only person he trusted was Fairy Jingya. He needed to discuss this with her immediately; perhaps because of his great achievements and outstanding performance, he could gain her favor and attract the attention of the powerful family behind her!

Sharp was thrilled, feeling as if all the riches and glory were right before his eyes.

He dared not walk in the hall outside, so he secretly slipped out of the window and ran all the way to where Cuiping lived.

"What are you banging on? Are you crazy?!"

Cuiping rolled her eyes at the newcomer.

Sharp didn't care what she said at all; the first thing he said after finding her was, "Where's Fairy Jingya? I need to see her!"
