"Junior sister, you've missed a lot of lessons over the years. I just happen to have some free time these few days, so I'll catch up."
After turning around, Shen Jinggu, who was looking at Ning Wan, seemed to be unable to see Ning Wan's desperate eyes. Seeing Ning Wan standing motionless at the door, he spoke again.
Ignoring the pile of books at the back, Chen Jinggu now gave people the impression of being a boy next door, but Ning Wan couldn't ignore it at all. She felt that this man was comparable to the King of Hell.
Ning Wan couldn't help but think of the time when Chen Jinggu tutored her. She was clearly about to collapse from exhaustion, but in the blink of an eye, she was stuffed with a spiritual medicine and the fasting pill...
She really didn't want to go through it a second time.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will be here to protect you. If you encounter something you don't know how to do, you can always ask me."
As Chen Jinggu spoke, he sat down on the futon opposite the desk and waved to Ning Wan. The whole movement was so smooth that Ning Wan could not find any mistakes.
Ning Wan: Thank you so much for the invitation. How could someone with a temperature of 36.8° say such cold words? I’m already thinking about how to escape from this “devil’s den”.
Ning Wan couldn't beat Chen Jinggu because her arm couldn't twist his thigh. She had to sit back at the table in frustration and looked up at Chen Jinggu who was sitting opposite her.
"Brother, why don't you go back and have a rest first? I can study by myself. I'll keep the things I don't know for now." Ning Wan suggested seriously, and her words showed her worry for Chen Jinggu. Her words implied that she didn't want to be watched by this man while studying.
When Shen Jinggu heard this, he could see what Ning Wan was thinking.
If he wasn't watching her, how could she really read the book? She would probably just play however she wanted, right?
"No need. If you are tired, I have some Qi-boosting pills here. You can take two." Shen Jinggu said, and flicked his hand on the table. A porcelain bottle appeared on the table.
Ning Wan immediately shook her head: "No, no, I'm not tired at all."
What a joke. This thing is just like that. One will refresh your mind, two will keep you awake forever, and three...
As he spoke, Ning Wan prepared to take a book from the side. When he was about to open it, Chen Jinggu suddenly handed him a rolled-up object that looked like a scroll.
"Wait, try this set of questions first, and let me check your foundation."
Ning Wan didn't think much about it after hearing this. She put the "Must-Read for Immortality Cultivation" in her hand aside and reached out to take it.
It should have been the same as the question in the last competition. Ning Wan untied the red rope tied to the paper roll without any preparation and unfolded it directly.
However, after just one glance, Ning Wan subconsciously slapped it on the table, and the originally uneven paper roll instantly had a few more wrinkles.
However, Ning Wan did not stop after seeing this scene. Instead, he held it down tightly with his palm, his fingertips turning white, as if there was some terrifying beast wrapped in the paper scroll.
Ning Wan's eyes were filled with shock as she looked at Shen Jinggu in front of her. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke with difficulty, "Are you serious, Senior Brother?"
Xiao Qi, who didn't understand why the host had such a big reaction, couldn't help but be curious and his eyes fell on the test question that the host had only glanced at.
Chen Jinggu lowered his eyes, looking at Ning Wan who was pressing down the exam question tightly, refusing to look at it a second time. He couldn't help but laugh, "Of course, the questions are too difficult. Junior Sister, can't you answer any of them?"
Ning Wan in front of him was like a frightened rabbit, unable to stop panicking, and cautiously testing him, trying to find his flaws.
"Did you... take those books from my room?" Ning Wan was like a frightened bird.
"Host, didn't you say the hero is your confidant?" Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask back at Ning Wan's strange reaction.
Ning Wan: It’s better not to be so ignorant of yourself at this time. After finishing these questions, she will probably go crazy.
Chen Jinggu nodded slightly, his face calm and composed, without a trace of embarrassment after being exposed.
Looking at Ning Wan's indescribable expression, Shen Jinggu frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, as if he had thought of something, and chuckled, "Junior sister, are you embarrassed?"
"Junior sister, don't worry. I respect your personal interests very much. Don't feel embarrassed."
Ning Wan lowered her head and looked at the set of questions that she had placed on the table. No matter how much she wanted to appear calm, she couldn't help but blush: So he really read it and put it into practice?
"Then, senior brother, can you return those books to me?" Ning Wan's hands tightened again, but he was thinking about taking the opportunity to crush the set of questions.
Shen Jinggu's gaze fell on Ning Wan's fingers that were trying to tighten.
The white and smooth fingers have distinct joints and the round nails are slightly long, making people want to hold them in the palm of their hands and play with them.
"No." Chen Jinggu raised his eyes, looked at Ning Wan's eyes that still had some expectation, and refused bluntly.
Chen Jinggu looked at the paper that was about to be pierced by Ning Wan's nails and spoke again: "If you don't like this test paper, I have others here."
As he spoke, he took out three more volumes from the storage ring and placed them on a corner of the desk.
Ning Wan froze again, forcing a smile. She gritted her teeth but didn't dare let the person opposite her notice. She could only whisper, "Junior sister likes it, very much. There's no need for that."
"These are all questions that Senior Brother specially set for you. How can I bear to let him down?" Shen Jinggu clearly heard the rejection in Ning Wan's words, but still broke Ning Wan's last fantasy.
Ning Wan's heart was broken, but she could only hold it in. "So, when do you plan to return all those books to me?"
"Junior sister, are you in a hurry to get it?"
Ning Wan: “…”
Nonsense, she originally regarded this man as her confidant, but she didn't expect that he would use those stories to give her questions. If she didn't give them back, she didn't know what tricks he would come up with.
"Of course, those are rare copies. If you like them, I can find some others for you."
Yes, look for something else, the first screening condition is to be normal.
"Unique copy?" This was not the first time Shen Jinggu had heard this term, but he had not expected Ning Wan to use it to describe those books.
If it was some extraordinary mental method, he would feel relieved, but now, "Then wait for Junior Sister to build her foundation. Don't worry, Senior Brother will definitely keep it well."
After knowing the importance of those books in Ning Wan's heart, Shen Jinggu naturally used it as a major condition to motivate Ning Wan.
Ning Wan: In that case, those rare copies don't seem that important anymore...
"Junior sister, just focus on your homework."
"Junior sister, you don't need to learn too much today. You can rest after finishing these questions." Chen Jinggu looked at Ning Wan who was a little dazed, thought for a moment, and said with a chuckle.
