"Eighth Senior Sister, did I do anything out of line just now?"
Before he could even check if there were any AFK (away from keyboard) records, Shen Qian cautiously asked a question.
"you……"
Then, before sinking, I saw that Ji Ruoshui's oval face was flushed, and she looked very embarrassed.
It's over.
Shen Qian, who had initially thought nothing was wrong, felt a sudden pang of unease, his expression turning grave. "Is it really that bad?"
"Well... it's alright..." Ji Ruoshui stammered.
"How did I faint?" Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively.
"I... I knocked you out in a moment of panic... I'm sorry." Ji Ruoshui didn't dare to look Shen Qian in the eye.
I see.
Shen Qian suddenly realized that he hadn't had time to do anything excessive.
Judging from Eighth Senior Sister's personality, she probably didn't mean to throw me last time; she was probably just panicked and lost control of her strength...
Practice makes perfect.
No one bled, that's good, today is a happy ending.
"Junior brother, are you... sick?" Ji Ruoshui asked hesitantly.
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then realized what Ji Ruoshui was referring to. He quickly sighed and pointed to his head, "There's something inside me."
Ji Ruoshui immediately understood, and her gaze towards Shen Qian held a hint of pity.
"I see. Well, then I won't blame my junior brother..."
"So, Eighth Senior Sister, if I do anything abnormal again in the future, just knock me out like you did today."
Shen Qian felt he had found a way to nip the system's "evil thoughts" in the bud, and his spirits lifted.
"Mm." Ji Ruoshui nodded.
"This... was prepared for me?" Shen Qian's gaze shifted downwards, and he saw the small bowl that Ji Ruoshui was holding. He had just smelled the rich aroma.
"I was going to find my third senior brother, but he wasn't there, so I made some fruit porridge," Ji Ruoshui said softly. "It's good for waking you up."
Eighth Senior Sister is so kind!
No wonder the system is so audacious.
However, Shen Qian still doesn't understand what the system wants to get from Eighth Senior Sister.
This fruit porridge smells pretty good, but it tastes a bit sour and astringent.
He forced himself to finish a large bowl of fruit porridge, then chatted with Ji Ruoshui for a few more minutes before taking his leave, feeling that his relationship with his eighth senior sister had returned to normal.
But as he left the Buddhist hall and passed the balcony, Shen Qian vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
He took a few steps back, his gaze shifting before settling on a wooden barrel on the balcony.
Inside was a tattered white Taoist robe, the style of which looked very familiar.
Shen Qian couldn't resist walking over, picking up the Taoist robe and unfolding it. He saw that the robe had been torn to shreds, especially the back hem, where there was a huge tear.
This... this is what Eighth Senior Sister meant by "it's alright"?
While Shen Qian was still in a daze, a trembling voice came from beside him, "Junior Brother, you, you..."
Shen Qian turned his head and saw Ji Ruoshui, who had rushed over, looking at the Taoist robe in his hand with a flushed face and pale lips, her hands twisted together, as if she didn't know how to deal with the situation.
"I'm so sorry, Eighth Senior Sister, I didn't mean to!"
He apologized repeatedly before sinking, then dropped his Taoist robe and fled in panic.
...
Before going home to pack, he took a taxi directly to the Martial Arts Bureau.
After the Bronze Man Formation broke the record, the Martial Arts Club gave Shen Qian a reward. Counting the time, if he didn't claim it soon, it would expire.
The department that distributes the rewards is the Martial Arts Bureau's Martial Arts Logistics and Welfare Support Department. Shen Qian had been there once before when he went to apply for the Martial Arts Subsidy, so this time he was quite familiar with the process.
However, the commotion it caused was somewhat beyond what was expected before the sinking.
After Shen Qian explained his purpose and showed his identification, the uniformed lady at the counter was initially surprised, but then hurriedly ran to the back.
A few minutes later, the head of the Logistics and Welfare Department came out with a big smile and invited Shen Qian to the VIP tea room for tea. Shortly after, a deputy director of the Martial Arts Bureau surnamed Li also came over and personally received Shen Qian.
Before Shen Qian could react, several reporters appeared out of nowhere and started snapping photos of him.
Although she wasn't used to the sinking, she knew that some things were ultimately unavoidable.
He vaguely felt that the city lord's mansion might be behind this.
Surrounded by numerous staff members of the Martial Arts Bureau, Shen Qian finally finished exchanging pleasantries with a group of officials from the Bureau. He then politely declined Deputy Director Li's offer to send him a car and hurriedly left the Bureau with his package.
Back in Xingfu Community, the neighbor's greeting, "Did you skip class again?" brought peace back to Shen Qian's heart.
It was 11 a.m. and no one was home. Shen Qian sat down on the sofa and started unpacking the package.
The Martial Arts Club awarded two prizes to those who cleared the Bronze Man Formation before the event.
The first item was a cash reward provided by the Martial Arts Education and Training Equipment Clearance Special Fund. Right after Shen Qian completed the identity verification at the Martial Arts Bureau, the reward of one million yuan had already been deposited into his bank account.
Yes, one million!
Shen Qian was shocked by the number; he had originally thought that 100,000 yuan would be considered high.
Later, I learned from the Minister of Welfare that the Bronze Man Formation, due to its special nature, has a maximum difficulty level of three stars, which is beyond the scope of the basic levels, so the reward for clearing it is relatively high.
