Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1272: Miss Cousin Does Not Want to Be Entrusted to Her (17)
However, Jin Shichu did not want to see the person she hated, which did not mean she could avoid seeing him. The world consciousness probably wanted to struggle a little longer and let Wei Ning get to know her. So when Xiao Ruqing came out of the house, she saw Qi Shanchang and Jin Shichu and others talking outside the courtyard gate.
She asked curiously, "Old man, who are these people?"
"He is my student." replied Qi Shanchang.
"Can a woman be your student?" Xiao Ruqing asked curiously. Even though she was a person from the world, she remembered that there seemed to be no academy that accepted women, right?
"You misunderstood. She is the daughter of a teacher in the academy. Of course, she is also a young person who grew up under my care. She is no different from a student." Qi Shanchang said with a slightly suppressed smile on his face.
Xiao Ruqing just asked casually. She looked at Jin Shichu intently. She didn't know why, but when she saw Jin Shichu, she had a very strange feeling. She couldn't help but want to pay attention to her.
This pretty and lively girl looked lively and active, but her temperament was completely different from that of a female hero like her. Xiao Ruqing couldn't tell the difference, but she could clearly feel that he seemed to care about her particularly.
Jin Shichu also looked at the heroine favored by the world consciousness. She was indeed beautiful and charming, with a heroic spirit that ordinary women did not have, and her manners were generous and neat. No wonder Wei Ning liked her so much in the original world.
"My name is Xiao Ruqing. May I know your name?" Xiao Ruqing suddenly asked Jin Shichu.
"My last name is Jin." Jin Shichu smiled and replied.
Xiao Ruqing immediately realized that she didn't want to tell him her name.
"Teacher, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first." Zhai Yuecheng saw that Jin Shichu was not very patient to deal with this female hero Xiao, so he spoke.
Qi Shanchang was eager for them to stay away from these gangsters, so he quickly waved his hand at the two of them and said, "Then you guys should go about yourselves and stop wandering around."
"Got it." Zhai Yuecheng agreed and pulled Jin Shichu away. Zhichun hurriedly trotted to catch up.
Xiao Ruqing looked at Jin Shichu's leaving back and frowned, trying hard to suppress the sudden dislike for Jin Shichu in her heart. She exchanged a few more words with Chief Qi Shan, and then went back to continue taking care of Wei Ning.
"Junior Sister Jin, you don't like that female hero just now?" After walking away, Zhai Yuecheng suddenly asked Jin Shichu. He has strong mental strength and can sometimes keenly feel other people's strong emotions.
Jin Shichu glanced at him and replied listlessly, "I really don't like it very much."
"Why? Don't you yearn for the chivalrous spirit and lofty ambitions of the martial arts world?" Zhai Yuecheng continued to ask her. Even he himself, when he was a child in his previous life, wanted to run away from home and become a great hero.
Jin Shichu looked at him with a very subtle look and said, "Chivalrous and heroic? Who told you that the martial arts world is like this?"
“Isn’t it? Of course, there are some not-so-good things in the martial arts world, but those are not the point.” Zhai Yuecheng, who was poisoned by many martial arts TV dramas and novels in his previous life, said. In this life, he traveled to this world and heard that people in the martial arts world often do bad things and oppress the people, but he has never encountered them in person. So he is a little curious, but his inner impression of people in the martial arts world still comes from the "artistic influence" in his previous life.
When Jin Shichu heard what he said, he sneered and said, "Didn't I tell you before that my neighbor was killed when he encountered a fight with gangsters while doing business? Those gangsters killed people without paying any price and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. How can this be called chivalry and heroic? In my opinion, they are no different from robbers who kill for money."
Zhai Yuecheng then remembered the neighbor of the Jin family, the merchant family surnamed Wan. He had visited the Jin family not long ago and saw that they were moving. It was because the head of the family was killed by gangsters, and the two sons of the Wan family were still young and could not support the family business. A lot of money had been lost to the caravan guards, so they did not want to stay in the capital and decided to return to their hometown to develop, so they had to move with their family.
Thinking of the ordinary people who had been harmed by the gangsters, Zhai Yuecheng's filter for the chivalrous men in the martial arts world was suddenly shattered.
"Then I'd better study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official." Zhai Yuecheng once again reaffirmed his ideal and silently killed the dream of making a living in the world that was just beginning to sprout.
"When you become an official in the future, bring those lawless gangsters who take human lives lightly to justice, okay?" Jin Shichu looked at him expectantly and asked.
When Zhai Yuecheng was caught by her beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but agree: "Okay."
So Jin Shichu smiled even more brightly, stood on tiptoe, patted his shoulder generously, and praised: "I knew you would be a good official in the future!"
Zhai Yuecheng was so flattered by her praise that he wished he had passed the imperial examination and could immediately fulfill Jin Shichu's expectation.
But back to reality, he is not even a scholar.
Zhai Yuecheng had no choice but to say goodbye to Jin Shichu and go back to continue working hard.
Jin Shichu thought that something would definitely happen during the time that Wei Ning and Xiao Ruqing were recuperating in the academy. After all, where the protagonists are, there will definitely be all kinds of conflicts and contradictions, which will allow them to slap the scum in the face and upgrade their martial arts.
However, I don't know if it was because of Chief Qi Shan's strong defense, or because this is an academy and not a martial arts place, the two protagonists did not show their protagonist aura here, but stayed quietly and did not cause any trouble.
Of course, it may also be because Wei Ning was injured too badly and Xiao Ruqing had to take care of him, so he had no time or energy to cause trouble.
It is always better for nothing to happen than for something to happen. After all, Jin Shichu has a good impression of the people in the academy, whether they are teachers or students, and they are also very kind to her. She certainly does not want these people to become the targets of the protagonist's slapping and abuse.
"Young Master Wei, are you feeling better? Should we leave here first, go down the mountain and find a quiet place to recuperate?" Xiao Ruqing asked him when he saw that Wei Ning looked much better.
Wei Ning looked at her in confusion: "Why do you want to leave here? Isn't it quiet enough here?"
Xiao Ruqing choked and finally explained: "This is the academy. I always feel weird and awkward here."
"What's wrong with that? They won't do anything bad to us." Wei Ning wasn't that sensitive.
"Didn't you notice that the headmaster was very wary of us?" Xiao Ruqing finally said bluntly.
"Is there?" Wei Ning asked back.
