Chapter 40: Claiming Compensation by the Lotus Pond
She was thrown down! She was thrown into the pond by Bai Yunshu!
In a moment of fear, she struggled violently, her whole body rolling in the pond, and the ripples became more and more severe.
"Ahem! Help... Help."
She couldn't utter a complete sentence, her mind was in a daze, and her consciousness was beginning to fade.
I choked on a lot of water, my throat hurts, and I feel exhausted both physically and mentally...
Through the ripples, she seemed to be able to see the figure of the banished immortal.
The moonlight was like a silver thread, filling her with clear light, and it was standing high above, looking down at her.
She couldn't see anything in Bai Yunshu's eyes.
The fever has subsided, but I feel really cold inside.
“Hmm…”
Yin Huan smiled bitterly. She tried hard to swim towards the edge of the pond, but she couldn't reach the shore. There was no driftwood around to save her life. There were only lotus flowers and lotus leaves, many of which she had torn off in her panic.
Panic, confusion, and bewilderment completely overwhelmed her at this moment.
She struggled until she had no strength left, and closed her eyes, wondering whether she should just drown.
"Look, look, you're right. She's the coldest-blooded person. You've only offended her. She's always gentle and kind to others, but she's like this to you."
"Is it possible that because you look like her former apprentice, she's keeping you by her side and torturing you? Is she venting her lingering resentment towards her on you?"
"Oh my, please don't sleep. Are you really willing to give up? Your revenge hasn't been avenged yet. I just taught you such a useful formation today. If you die, where can I find someone with a stronger obsession..."
Yin Huan's ears were filled with words about life, which made her feel depressed and uncomfortable.
It's intermittent and hard to hear clearly.
She really wanted to say that if it weren't for your method of breaking the formation, she wouldn't have been thrown into this pool.
Life is about laughing at hidden joys and also about stirring up fires.
Bai Yunshu watched coldly from high in the air, and only when he felt that it was about time did he walk over and pick her up.
She grabbed Yin Huan's clothes on the back of her collar and lifted her up easily, even lifting her wrist so that she could look at her at eye level.
"Can't swim?"
She looked at Yin Huan's embarrassed look and spoke, seeming to be thinking about something.
Yin Huan was soaked all over, with a frown and closed eyes, and water was still dripping from his body.
The water dripped into the pond, creating ripples again.
"cough--"
She took a while to adjust, coughed up some water, and slowly opened her eyes.
Bai Yunshu was very close to her. She was clean and beautiful, her long robe rustling in the wind, and she looked completely different from himself.
Hearing Bai Yunshu's words, she forced herself to endure the discomfort and said in a hoarse voice, "No."
She really couldn't do it. Even if she tried to learn it, she could only do the doggy paddle and then gradually sink. She had been laughed at more than once.
"I see."
Bai Yunshu stared at her quietly, as if trying to find some flaw in her.
“Cough cough cough——”
Yin Huan kept coughing. The water in her throat made her not want to talk, and she drank too much water, so she felt very bloated.
Bai Yunshu saw that Yin Huan was in a bad mood and smiled, "Are you feeling resentful? Are you awake? Are you still hot?"
Yin Huan looked at her, hurt in his eyes.
This man could still laugh, he was really teasing her.
"No, I've sobered up and it's gone away."
She answered word by word, and Bai Yunshu knew that she was unhappy.
It’s better to be unhappy than to act wildly in the classroom.
She just looked at Yin Huan and didn't move anymore.
Yin Huan really couldn't say thank you to Elder Ying Su. When the wind blew, she shivered with cold and wondered whether she should ask her to put her down.
Yin Huan suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something behind Bai Yunshu.
She took a look.
An orange-yellow figure sat on a sword and came quickly from a distance.
"Junior sister! So you are here!"
Geng Jihuan came to look for Bai Yunshu and saw her standing in the air from a distance. He hurried over to take a look out of curiosity, and when he got closer, he saw Yin Huan who had become a drowned rat.
Why didn’t I see it just now?
Oh, I remember now, this disciple uniform blends in with the night! Her attention was entirely on her junior sister, so she naturally didn't notice the dry Yin Huan that was obscured by Bai Yunshu's figure.
Bai Yunshu glanced at Geng Jihuan and asked her without any sadness or joy.
"What?"
Geng Jihuan looked at Yin Huan, then looked at his ruined lotus pond, and his mood suddenly became bad.
Geng Jihuan frowned and asked.
"What's wrong? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood? Did Yin Huan fly into my lotus pond? My lotus pond!"
With a look of sadness on her face, she decisively tried to pick up all the broken lotus flowers, but it was no use.
She looked at the drooping lotus and spoke angrily.
"The pond where my lotus flowers grow is an ancient spiritual spring, a great place to clear the mind, dissipate heat and detoxify. The lotus seeds produced there are softer, more fragrant and sweeter than others. And you just broke off a piece for me?"
Geng Jihuan's heart was bleeding. When Yin Huan heard this, he suddenly saw Bai Yunshu who was silent beside him.
Ancient spiritual spring, refreshing, cooling and detoxifying?
When she was thinking about how to explain, Bai Yunshu finally took action.
Bai Yunshu raised his hand and gathered the water droplets from her body into his palm, formed a ball and threw it back into the pool.
"I'll compensate you with whatever amount I have saved. I'll deduct it from the spirit stones I've saved. She was about to go back to the dormitory, but I was too anxious and accidentally knocked her down."
Yin Huan blinked, his brain still not reacting.
Bai Yunshu is lying.
According to this, she just wanted to dissipate heat and detoxify herself, not to torture herself.
The moisture in Yin Huan's clothes had been stripped off, and he became dry all over. Except for his hair being a little messy, his body temperature had returned to normal.
Geng Jihuan did not expose her excuse.
Bai Yunshu knocked a disciple into the lotus pond? Who would believe this if it got out? And with her level of cultivation, how could she make such a low-level mistake? She was simply trying to protect Yin Huan.
"Okay, wait until I calculate my losses!"
Geng Jihuan returned to the house angrily. Yin Huan looked at her, swallowed, and asked Bai Yunshu beside her.
"Will I have to pay a lot of spirit stones?"
Bai Yunshu is calm.
"have no idea."
If Geng Jihuan wanted to kill her, she would definitely have to pay a lot of compensation. If it was a friendship price, she could still afford it.
Yin Huan swallowed, and after Bai Yunshu gently put her on the ground, she looked up at her and spoke.
"Elder Ying Su, I'm sorry."
"Why apologize?"
Bai Yunshu was indifferent and didn't take it to heart.
"I... just apologize for causing you trouble."
She lowered her head, but Bai Yunshu said it was not the case.
"No, but..."
She looked towards Geng Jihuan's house.
"I'll tell Geng Jihuan to reduce your homework and punish you less severely. Go back to your dorms and sleep at night so you'll have more energy tomorrow."
Yin Huan pursed her lips.
"I didn't pay attention in class, so Elder Geng deserves to punish me..."
Bai Yunshu curled his lips and smiled.
"As long as you copy her homework, it doesn't matter what you hand in. She's so busy, she doesn't have time to look at it in detail."
Bai Yunshu seriously let her take advantage of the loophole.
