Chapter 246 Bai Bugui's life is full of regrets
Bai Bugui sat in the laboratory, feeling very confused.
The Demon Fox Clan and the Bai Family have a feud, and the Demon Fox Clan has placed a curse on the Bai Family, the details of which he didn't know... In the past, Bai Bugui just watched from the other side of the river, but now, he has actually become a descendant of the Bai Family!
Or he is a hybrid of the Bai family and the fox clan!
"High Priest, have you known about this for a long time? No... you must have known it a long time ago." Bai Bugui clenched his fists, "So in the end..."
"You really have always regarded me as an alien! I should have understood this long ago!"
If there is anything in the fox clan that Bai Bugui cannot give up, it must be the appreciation and kindness of the high priest back then. Bai Bugui is a lonely drop of water, and the fox clan is a vast ocean. There was once a man who accepted a drop of water and let it flow into the sea.
During the first nights after arriving at Qingji Sect, Bai Bugui imagined over and over again the future described by the high priests. He completed his blood cleansing and returned triumphantly as a pureblood. If he is strong enough, he will stand at the top of the fox clan, just like every great demon who has made his mark in history.
So from that day on, the fox tribe would become his home. He will have his own bone knife, his own mansion in the trees... and his own bunch of wind chimes.
The fox tribe built their houses on big trees, and each tree was the home of a fox. The most beautiful branch of the tree is regarded as the door branch, and the fox tribe has the habit of hanging wind chimes on the door branch.
When the east wind blows, the wind chimes start to tick. Every tongue of the wind chime is the rarest and most beautiful mineral that the fox demon can find.
Everyone in the fox tribe has his or her own wind chime. Only the half-demon Bai Bugui does not have a wind chime. Like those guilty monsters, he had no place of his own. Whenever he passed by the homes of the fox demons that had their own residences and wind chimes, Bai Bugui would look up. He didn't like wind chimes at all. They were so childish. Bai Bugui stopped playing with such things when he was six years old, and he even lost his mother when he was six.
Bai Bugui always thought that he didn't have a house just because he didn't work hard enough. How come everyone can be a monster, but you are only a half-monster? Think about whether you have worked hard over the years. It was not until he met Ning Mingmei that he realized that he had no house in the fox clan because he had no household registration. Foxes who can be undercover are very smart. Bai Bugui learned about the household registration policy and student visa policy very quickly, and his mind also works quickly when doing academic work.
But at this moment, Bai Bugui had obtained such a huge amount of information, but his brain was not working. He knew he should think of something else, such as what exactly is the relationship between him and Bai Ruoru, should he acknowledge this relationship or run away immediately, whether the high priest sent him to Qingji Sect specifically to defeat Bai Ruoru, he vaguely remembered that the Bai family had only one son from generation to generation, there was a curse between the brothers, where the battle between humans and demons would go... But at this moment, he could only think of a string of wind chimes.
"…They say mixed-bloods are smarter, why are you so dumb right now?"
He scratched his head and whispered.
Not far away, Sixteen Eighteen was watching.
"What is Fourth Brother doing now?"
"He was talking to himself. At first, he said he would go back and ask for clarification... or something. Then he added that he couldn't find out even if he went back, so he might as well look up information. When he returns to the demon world, there will be no time to go back to the Qingji Sect library to look up information."
"Wait, Brother is about to get up."
…
"I have nothing else to do but continue my academic studies. This is one of the few meaningful things in my life."
Bai Bugui stood up with a heavy heart, trying to get over the matter. As soon as he looked up, he heard Old Seventeen's voice: "Old Sixteen, Old Eighteen, aren't you going to listen to the lecture today? Why are you squatting here?"
The exposed Sixteenth and Eighteenth: ...
Bai Bugui discovered the abnormality: ...
He Yin soon discovered something unusual and was speechless towards Old Seventeen: ...
"You guys chat first, I'll take Pei Shiqi away first." He Yin blocked Old Seventeen's way and tried to take the legal person away.
Bai Bugui: “You guys…”
Sixteen Eighteen: ...
"Fourth Senior Brother." Ren Miao came running over from a distance, smiling, "Master asked you to go."
…
Exposed! !
…
Bai Bugui was still spitting on himself as he entered Ning Mingmei's office. He felt that he had no consciousness of being a spy at all. If Ning Mingmei had discovered his "identity" twenty years ago, he would have fought to the death and then tried to escape.
But now, when I think of Ning Mingmei's gold-framed glasses, I feel a chill.
There is nothing in the Qingji Sect that Ning Mingmei doesn't know, and there is no one that Ning Mingmei cannot control. If Bai Bugui could survive, it must be because Ning Mingmei didn't want to kill him. If the cosmetics purchased by Bai Bugui can pass through customs and enter the demon world without paying taxes, it must be because Ning Mingmei is also making a profit from the reselling of these cosmetics.
Bai Bugui firmly believed this.
Ning Mingmei sat opposite him, brewing tea calmly: "Sit down."
Bai Bugui decided to stay the same in the face of ever-changing circumstances. He said, "Master, the proposal you said you wanted to revise last time..."
Ning Mingmei: "You don't need to revise your proposal, just hand it in."
...Under normal circumstances, this sentence would be like the music from heaven that suddenly dawns on the ears! But at this moment, Bai Bugui felt as if he had heard a death knell, as if he had lost his parents.
He forced a smile: "Master, I'd better make some changes. I think I still have a chance. For example, for that model, I think we can introduce two more layers of surveillance cameras..."
Ning Mingmei: "No need. There's no chance."
Bai Bugui took a deep breath, his lips began to tremble: "No, no, no... No chance?"
Ning Mingmei: "Anyway, the academic work you do is just garbage to help you graduate. It doesn't matter if you publish one less or one more paper."
…
No difference.
But at this point, what's the difference between "graduation" and "you get out clean and get locked up or killed" - especially in the Qingji Sect, whose combat power has now greatly expanded.
In other worlds, Jindan can be considered a powerful being and Yuanying can be considered an ancestor. But if they were allowed to enter the Qingji Sect, the Jindan would only be considered a master's degree, and the Yuanying would only be considered a doctorate or postdoctoral degree. Even those at the Spiritual Transformation Stage still have to either be promoted or leave, and work as research assistants to write papers and get teaching positions.
So the advantage is that everyone is more humble. The downside is that because everyone is too good at being humble, the disciples of Qingji Sect can only judge the personal strength of their fellow disciples by the school district where each disciple buys a house.
Bai Bugui forced a smile and said, "Master, I don't think I have reached the standard for graduation yet. In the future, I still want to stay in Qingji Sect. Master, would you consider letting me do a postdoctoral fellowship..."
"Graduation?" Ning Mingmei said, "You wish."
Bai Bugui’s eyes went dark. It seems that Ning Mingmei has fully understood his identity and is ready to master him out!
The Qingji Sect's characteristic master-out is like this, taking Bai Bugui as an example, Bai Bugui joined the Qingji Sect in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the kind-hearted Qingji Sect accepted him because of his diversity as a half-demon, but Bai Bugui didn't know what was good for him, he could obviously make a lot of money by being a purchasing agent, but he insisted on taking another job, and was found to be an undercover fox demon in the Nascent Soul Stage. Therefore, Qingji Sect would not allow Bai Bugui to graduate as a Nascent Soul and would necessarily destroy his cultivation.
His cultivation level had been reduced to the level of Foundation Establishment when he first entered the school, and he returned all the teachings of Ning Mingmei over the years to him, and severed all ties with him. There was no bachelor's degree certificate, and there was no autumn recruitment for non-fresh graduates.
If your cultivation level is reduced to the level of Qi training or even a mortal, you will be expelled from school and become a leaky fish.
Your cultivation level will be reduced by one level, so you can retain the Golden Core stage and leave... I have shown you enough kindness, so I will let you master out for a while. This is the best result Bai Bugui could think of.
Bai Bugui thought that his undercover identity had been exposed by spying on Bai Ruoru's tribulation, and his identity as a half-demon had also been exposed. Don’t ask Ning Mingmei how he reasons, Ning Mingmei understands everything.
Bai Bugui then decided to arouse Ning Mingmei's sympathy. He lowered his head and said, "Master, I was wrong."
"Hmm?" Ning Mingmei's voice was as cold as the notification tone of the home-school communication system.
Bai Bugui: "Master, no matter what, I will regard Piao Miao Peak as my master's sect. Over the years, I have been very happy and blessed in Piao Miao Peak."
Ning Mingmei: "Happy? Happy? It seems that the tasks assigned to you are not enough."
Bai Bugui: ...
Damn, I said the wrong thing!
"It's very fulfilling and rich." Bai Bugui said, "It's completely different from my gloomy past..."
Dark life.
"My fellow sisters and brothers come and go, and come and go again. I am the only one who can stay on Piao Miao Peak. I am very happy."
Only I couldn't graduate.
"Those memories of my secluded place are now shining like gold..."
Those memories of not daring to leave Qingji Sect because of expired visas are like being imprisoned in a storybook.
“Here, I can access the most cutting-edge knowledge.”
Ning Mingmei: "Did you violate the confidentiality policy?"
Bai Bugui: ...
Well, not that cutting edge.
"I get along well with other disciples..."
For example, the junior sisters who come to take advantage of the free cosmetic samples from time to time.
For example, Xue Zhu who always bullies himself in the Qingji Sect style.
For example, when someone gets drunk and asks, “Senior, what are your graduation intentions?”, “Oh, I forgot, you can’t graduate…”
At that moment, Bai Bugui realized that he had no regrets in his life. He even rented a student apartment with an extra storage room for the purchased items. Unfortunately, for the sake of this storage room, he gave up the apartment with a balcony.
So even in Qingji Sect, he didn't have a wind chime.
Ning Mingmei: "After talking for so long, what do you want to say?"
Bai Bugui gritted his teeth. He knew that Ning Mingmei was asking questions even though he knew the answer, so he confessed.
"Master, I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent." Bai Bugui lowered his head and said, "I'm an undercover agent sent by the Demon Fox Clan to the Qingji Sect."
…
After a long silence, Ning Mingmei said, "Interesting. Tell me, what have you done over the years?"
"I did it..."
Borrowed the information of the fox demon clan so that he could do academic research in Qingji Sect. Because there is an exemption policy for the Fox Tribe members to engage in Fox Tribe academic research.
Stock up on cosmetics and resell them to the Demon Fox Tribe, Sky Fox Tribe, and Spirit Fox Tribe, opening up a three-way trade route.
Because he often posted purchasing information on Feisibu, he was blocked by many of his junior and senior classmates.
We pioneered the tail-fixing + hot-door bundling unpopular model for the fox clan, played with marketing, and opened up business routes.
We have been complained to the student dormitory three times because there are too many express boxes.
I was complained by my fellow junior students because cockroaches were infested in the packing cartons.
because……
Ning Mingmei: "Hmm?"
Bai Bugui looked back on his life and choked up as he said, "Master, maybe you don't know, but I did... do a lot of things."
