"What?"
Jia Xitong looked completely bewildered.
"It's nothing."
Shang Yanting said expressionlessly. He put on his coat and got out of bed, wanting to go outside to clear his head. However, the moment he bent his long legs, the wet feeling in a certain place below made him freeze, as if he had been frozen in place by a pause button.
"What's the matter?"
Jia Xitong looked at him. Ever since Shang Yanting came back, he had been acting strangely.
As soon as the question was asked, the raccoon was covered by a large garment.
"Stay there."
Looking at the bulge of the demonic beast beneath his clothes, Shang Yanting felt a surge of inexplicable irritation.
Sure enough, he should have killed those two!
Filled with tyranny, Shang Yanting practiced his sword all night in the open space outside.
The raccoon covered by clothes looked completely innocent. She couldn't help but ask the real system, "System, what happened to the male lead?"
【have no idea. 】
Is it possible that someone has possessed my body?
【No. 】
"All right."
This has left her raccoon completely bewildered.
She crawled out from under her clothes, shook off the fur on her body, glanced at Shang Yanting who was practicing swordsmanship in the cold wind, and prepared to maintain her aloof demeanor for a while longer.
The next day
Shang Yanting did not go to Lougong Garden
After training the two siblings from the Luqiu family, he sat on a rattan chair and silently wiped his longsword.
From night to day
This bizarre situation has been going on for a long time, as if he were about to take someone's dog's head off.
"Mr. Yan."
Shang Yanting taught the Luqiu siblings, so he could be considered their half-teacher.
The two men addressed each other as "sir" or "master," and everyone else in the mansion followed suit.
The steward of the Luqiu residence rushed over, carrying a pair of boxes in his hands. "These were sent by Young Master Huo."
The box was opened, and inside were two dry, withered blades of grass.
As Jia Xitong reached out and touched it, the "Register of Records" instantly emitted a bright light.
Chapter Four: The Spiritual Void Grass
[Habits: Grows in places teeming with spiritual energy, often guarded by high-level magical beasts; evergreen for millions of years; withers immediately upon being picked.]
[Functions: Clears the liver and improves eyesight, nourishes spiritual energy, and can be used to refine elixirs and make paper.]
"Dear host, it's Spirit Void Grass!"
Jia Xitong was stunned. What was that guy with the weird smile up to do?
"Young Master Huo left Rongcheng early this morning and specially sent someone to deliver this item to you, sir. He also asked me to pass on a message to you: true friends are hard to find in this world, and I hope we can have a good chat sometime."
A kindred spirit?
"Dear host, did you go for a heart-to-heart talk last night?"
No sooner had Jia Xitong finished asking than Shang Yanting suddenly squeezed the wooden box so hard it broke.
The butler nervously took two steps back, quickly reflecting on whether he had said something wrong.
Jia Xitong then picked up another piece of Lingxu grass that had fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, it was extremely dry, resembling dried straw, so it was fine even if Shang Yanting ravaged it.
spendthrift son.
I didn't expect to get the Spirit Void Grass even faster than the Exquisite Lotus.
As for the exquisite lotus...
The two students' training sessions, which lasted for half a month, were nearing their end, and their skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
Last day
Luqiu Zheng personally visited to express his gratitude, carrying a delicate lotus flower.
The rapid progress of the Luqiu siblings in a short period of time was secondary; Shang Yanting made up for the generational deficiencies in Luqiu's movement techniques, and his value far exceeded that of the Linglong Lotus.
The exquisite lotus was pure white, resembling a lotus made of plastic. But the moment Jia Xitong touched it, a new entry was added to the register.
Chapter Five: The Exquisite Lotus
[Habits: Grows in icy and snowy environments, absorbs the essence of the moon, and blooms every hundred years.]
[Uses: It has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight; it can be used in medicine and ink making.]
Having obtained both documents, it was time to head back.
Luqiu Zheng, along with his reluctant siblings, saw Shang Yanting off out of the city. "Thank you, Young Master Yan, for your guidance of my son these past few days. I wish you a speedy recovery."
The Luqiu siblings bowed to Shang Yanting and said in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."
Luqiu Shiyi stared intently at the raccoon. She couldn't bear to part with Shang Yanting, and even more so with the bear in his arms.
Unfortunately, Jia Xitong was destined to be the bear she could never have.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Shang Yanting steered the Water Cloud Boat back to Qing Shuang Peak.
He remained extremely silent during this time, rarely responding to Jia Xitong's attempts to speak to him. Upon returning to Qing Shuang Peak, he put Jia Xitong down, saying, "You stay on the peak for the next few days. I'll go down and have someone make paper and ink from the Linglong Lotus and Lingxu Grass."
ah?
"Dear host, can't we go together?"
They used to go everywhere together, but Jia Xitong sensed that Shang Yanting had been deliberately distancing himself from her these past few days.
You've been acting strange these past few days.
"Don't you like me anymore?"
She squatted on the table, trying hard to recall her recent behavior.
No.
Does he dislike me?
Jia Xitong pulled out her small handkerchief, ready to grieve. It seemed she was destined to be a lonely Xiong Aotian.
"No.
Don't overthink it.
Shang Yanting pursed his lips slightly, and because of the dream, he abruptly withdrew his outstretched hand in mid-air. "I just came down the mountain for some things. I'm not angry with you, and I don't dislike you."
Wait for me at Qing Shuang Peak, don't wander off.
Really?
The raccoon paused in its grip on the handkerchief. "When are you coming back?"
"soon."
After saying that, he turned and left.
It must be admitted that Huo Rui's despicable behavior affected him, and even more so, it affected his relationship with the system.
That kind of dirty, immoral relationship.
