Chapter 44 Class 4: Chu Xingjin's status in her heart for the first time...
Jin Wan was so angry that she ran away.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at Xie Xinghui and the others in front of her.
Aren't you leaving?
Xie Xinghui and the people around him stared at each other, and he asked with a fawning smile, "Cousin, did your winning first place have anything to do with your daily cultivation in the dense forest?"
He adjusted his question: "I mean, does the location of cultivation have an impact? For example, is the spiritual energy in this dense forest more concentrated than in other places?"
Xie Jiaoyue was speechless. She patted her younger cousin and said, "Little brother, sometimes you should be more down-to-earth."
"What's the meaning."
Xie Jiaoyue's eyes were filled with pity. She had only thought her cousin was a good-for-nothing, but now she realized he was also a bit silly.
"Don't be delusional. If you want to improve your cultivation, then cultivate seriously. You have two spiritual roots, but your cultivation time is not even as long as mine, who only has one heavenly spiritual root. Don't you feel ashamed?"
The little parrot mimicked Xie Jiaoyue's words: "Shame on you, shame on you, Xinghui is ashamed."
After saying that, Xie Jiaoyue left.
She has a strict schedule for her time; while she needs to ensure her cultivation time, she also needs to ensure her rest time.
Not getting enough beauty sleep can cause acne.
Even after Xie Jiaoyue left, the others were still reluctant to leave.
Although Xie Jiaoyue said that there was nothing special about the dense forest, if that were true, why did Xie Jiaoyue cultivate there every day?
The first choice must be the right one, and they should try it too.
This decided that the Forest Training Group was officially established, all for the sake of tomorrow!
...
When Xie Jiaoyue returned, she brushed past Xie Lingliu, who had a fierce expression on her face.
She was a polite and good child. Moreover, from her perspective, they had just had a friendly and peaceful competition, and there was nothing to it.
So when she saw Xie Lingliu walking towards her, she waved and greeted her.
Xie Lingliu didn't even look at Xie Jiaoyue before shoving her aside and leaving.
It seems Xie Lingliu isn't a polite child, unlike her.
Xie Jiaoyue pushed open the door, and Feng Qianqian stood there looking hesitant and timid.
"Jiaoyue, you're finally back." Feng Qianqian looked like a pitiful little deer who had been wronged, her big eyes innocent and bright, making people's hearts soften.
"What's wrong? Did she bully you?"
Feng Qianqian began to recount her experiences that evening.
“After you went out to cultivate, your cousin came.”
"She's so strange. The first thing she said was, since I can be so close to you, I should be able to get along well with her too."
Xie Jiaoyue almost laughed: "Do you think it's possible?"
"How could that be? Can just anyone compare to Jiaoyue?" Feng Qianqian said coquettishly, then continued, "Then she asked me why we were so close."
"What did you say?"
Feng Qianqian replied naturally, "Of course it's because Jiaoyue saved me twice, once from the mouth of a magical beast and once by giving me so many spiritual plants. In my heart, Jiaoyue is someone I can trust."
If they had just talked about this, they wouldn't have parted on bad terms.
Xie Jiaoyue sensed something: "So, Xie Lingliu isn't saying that I didn't save you at all, but that it was actually Brother Chu who saved you?"
When Xie Jiaoyue said this, she imitated Xie Lingliu's tone, which made Feng Qianqian giggle.
"That's what she asked. I said, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Chu only gave me one Ling Shuang flower, but Jiao Yue gave me many. Of course, it was Jiao Yue who saved me."
After saying this, Feng Qianqian's arms around Xie Jiaoyue tensed for a moment, and her doe-like eyes began to dart around.
Yes, that's exactly what Xie Lingliu asked. And that's exactly what she answered.
She answered with absolute certainty that Xie Jiaoyue was the one who saved her. But when she faced Xie Jiaoyue, she felt extremely uneasy.
She remembered that Xie Jiaoyue had said before that she gave him those Ling Shuang flowers because Chu-gege liked her and she wanted to prevent Chu-gege from being sad.
Therefore, Xie Lingliu's statement is correct in a certain sense.
She bit her lip: "Jiaoyue, what do you like about Chu Xingjin?"
Feng Qianqian even forgot to address him as "brother".
Xie Jiaoyue thought for a moment: "Maybe, I like his outstanding talent and the promising future?"
The main reason is that she doesn't think there's anything she likes about Chu Xingjin; after thinking about it, that's the only thing she can think of.
After saying that, Xie Jiaoyue felt uncomfortable all over, as if she had been defiled. She added, "Maybe that's just how I am. I have a special fondness for talented people and am easily attracted to them. Look at me, I used to be at odds with Xin Xiuying, but I was still willing to save her, wasn't I?"
Feng Qianqian thought to herself, "I have good talent too, so maybe, even if Chu Xingjin doesn't like me, as long as I know Xie Jiaoyue, Xie Jiaoyue will still save me?"
Xie Jiaoyue might not give her as many Ling Shuang flowers as before, but she would at least have enough to treat her illness.
That's enough, isn't it? In any case, she has a chance to become Xie Jiaoyue's friend.
Moreover, even if it's because of Chu Xingjin, it's still Xie Jiaoyue who has been recognized and who can join this family, while Xie Lingliu is the one who has been rejected.
Once the simple-minded Feng Qianqian understood all this, she immediately became happy.
She lingered beside Xie Jiaoyue: "Jiaoyue, what a coincidence that we both like the same person!"
Perhaps because she hadn't seen Chu Xingjin for so long, the influence of the female lead's halo on her had begun to diminish, and Chu Xingjin's status in her heart had declined for the first time.
Although it is only a tiny speck, like a strand of hair floating at the foot of Mount Tai, seemingly invisible compared to the scale of Mount Tai, it is clearly there. Even if a strong wind blows it up, it will eventually fall back down and remain fixed at the foot of Mount Tai, becoming an indelible crack.
A crack the size of a hair had actually occurred, and it was probably impossible to erase it.
Having been rebuffed by Feng Qianqian, Xie Lingliu walked quickly with her head down, so fast that she didn't even have time to look around to see if there were any other people on the road. By sheer coincidence, she bumped into Jin Wan, who was equally furious.
They were walking so fast that they couldn't stop, and with a thud, they both fell to the ground.
How did you get there?
"Aren't you watching where you're going?"
After Xie Lingliu finished shouting angrily, she finally saw who was in front of her.
It turns out he's the young master of the Jin family.
She composed herself and resumed her usual gentle demeanor.
"Young Master Jin, I'm sorry, I just... I had a little argument with some other people, so I wasn't in a good mood and that's why I wasn't watching where I was going." After saying that, she held up her right sleeve with her left hand and extended her right hand towards Jin Wan.
Xie Lingliu's attitude was gentle, and her tone was like a cool breeze from the lake on a summer night, which was very comforting and calmed Jin Wan's agitated mood.
Few people could raise their voices at Xie Lingliu in this posture.
Jin Wan could no longer get angry. He took the opportunity to place his hand on Xie Lingliu's right hand and used it to stand up.
Perhaps because of his excessive strength, Xie Lingliu was pulled towards him. However, Xie Lingliu was very sensible and quickly regained her balance. Unlike some female cultivators, she did not take the opportunity to pounce on him.
Jin Wan also regained her composure and bowed to Xie Lingliu: "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood today, that's why I didn't notice the road."
Xie Lingliu's voice was just right: "Oh? Would anyone actually go out of their way to cause trouble for Young Master Jin?"
"Don't even mention it. It's all because of that Xie Jiaoyue. She pretends to be cultivating in the dense forest every day, which makes me lose all my bets with others."
The rambling words were incomprehensible. Xie Lingliu led Jin Wan to continue speaking for a few more minutes before the cause and effect became clear.
Unexpectedly, the young master Jin is the kind of person who would fight for his brothers in a fit of rage; he's quite loyal.
However, his method of venting his anger was too immature, so much so that it did not achieve the desired effect and instead helped Xie Jiaoyue.
Look at how the people in the Earth Group look at Xie Jiaoyue every day lately; they seem to have found their big sister.
If you want to hurt someone, you have to do it in a subtle and gradual way.
The best solution is actually to ruin her reputation. If Xie Jiaoyue's reputation is damaged, given Chu Xingjin's character, would he still maintain his engagement with Xie Jiaoyue?
Without Xie Jiaoyue's threat, all that's left is Feng Qianqian, who's as naive as a fool. How could she possibly defeat her?
At that time, Chu Xingjin would be completely at her mercy. Once Chu Xingjin became a Celestial Venerable, she would be the only Celestial Venerable's wife, worshipped by thousands.
This is what she wanted most.
Her talent isn't top-tier, and her future potential is pretty much limitless. If she wants to go further, she has to take an unconventional approach.
As the wife of a Celestial Venerable, even if she relies on the Celestial Venerable's reputation to consume the elixirs and medicines offered by others, her chances of successfully forming her core will greatly increase. She might even be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage, or even go a step further.
She felt that anything was worthwhile for this goal.
Xie Lingliu's gentle voice carried a seductive tone: "Young Master Jin should know that my cousin is a furnace cauldron, right?"
She feigned confusion: "Since ancient times, furnaces have always been more delicate than others, so why is it that my cousin Jiaoyue's constitution is so good? Now that I think about it, it's really strange, as if she has cultivated some kind of forbidden technique."
She covered her mouth and chuckled after she finished speaking: "But I was just saying that casually. Jiaoyue has been well-behaved since childhood, how could she possibly practice forbidden arts? It's getting late, Young Master Jin should also go back and rest early."
After Xie Lingliu finished speaking, she gracefully left, her robes fluttering, leaving behind only a faint, lingering fragrance.
The scent at the tip of her nose remained unchanged, and Jin Wan's thoughts were still immersed in the previous words.
Yes, Xie Jiaoyue is a cultivation vessel, isn't she? He didn't want to say much about her perseverance in cultivating. Everyone has their own ambitions, and if she wants to work hard, then let her work hard.
However, the slap Xie Jiaoyue gave him, and the way she caught his hand, were both extremely powerful, to the point that he had no way to resist.
Is this reasonable?
That's completely unreasonable.
Jin Wan suddenly understood. So Xie Lingliu was right. Xie Jiaoyue must have practiced forbidden techniques!
He'll spread the news right now and see how arrogant Xie Jiaoyue can be then.
Jin Wan grabbed a passerby and said, "Did you know that the person who ranked first in the entrance exam actually practiced forbidden techniques?"
A passerby brushed Jin Wan's hand away: "You're crazy."
Jin Wan: ...
Alas, those who are clear-headed are always lonely.
He needs to figure out a way to convince others.
