Chapter 9 009 It's so noisy, Tianyuan Mansion has never been this noisy...
Shen Xiaochun was in Tianyuan Prefecture when she received a message from Li Yao.
She is still young, and although she has a communication stone, the functions available to junior repairmen are incomplete, and she can't add many friends.
But Li Yao did add it.
Li Yao complained online: "Shen Xiaochan, I've been spoiling you for nothing."
Shen Xiaochun: "It was my mother who tricked me into revealing the information. You know how shrewd she is."
Shen Xiaochun: "Did Mother punish you?"
Li Yao: "..."
The sect leader didn't punish her, but instead assigned her a new job, since she was so talented.
Li Yao: "He was punished, and the punishment was quite severe. I can't go into the details with you."
Shen Xiaochun could tell at a glance that Li Yao was alright, so she relaxed and continued to joke with Li Yao: "Sister Li, Tianyuan Mansion will be closed for the weekend in two days. I heard that Bixia Sect is going to split up?"
Li Yao: "Who told you that? Never mind, you're so precocious and always know everything. Let me tell you, when you come home for vacation, there'll be something interesting to watch."
Shen Xiaochun: "The food at Tianyuan Mansion is awful. Besides watching the excitement during the holiday, I also want to eat red bean cakes. I want Uncle Yin to make them, not my mother."
Li Yao: "Of course, is the food your mother cooks edible?"
Shen Xiaochun was a transfer student. She reported for school on the first day and started school on the second day. After two days, it was time for a weekend break.
In Tianyuan Mansion, two junior cultivators were sitting together, but Jiang Yingxue's deskmate, Zhou Rui, had fallen ill and had to leave the room, and it had been almost half a month since then.
Shen Xiaochun naturally arranged for herself to be Jiang Yingxue's deskmate.
Jiang Yingxue arrived a little earlier and saw that the jade slip in Shen Xiaochan's seat was broken in two.
New students are given a jade slip containing a year's worth of course schedules.
Shen Xiaochun also received one, which should have been personally delivered to her by the Immortal Master of this mansion, but it has now broken on Shen Xiaochun's table.
There's nowhere to reason with this.
Jiang Yingxue's expression stiffened, she pursed her lips, her pale face turning bluish.
Small groups of people around were chatting with each other, as if nothing had happened.
Coming to her senses, Jiang Yingxue quickly sat down.
Jiang Yingxue has been in Tianyuan Prefecture for half a year and has also been teased.
Min Xuerou had also taught her daughter and analyzed the situation with Jiang Yingxue. Jiang Yingxue was going to Tianyuan Mansion to cultivate; she didn't need to care about other things, so why bother arguing with them? Her daughter should focus solely on cultivation and building her future. Besides, these disciples from immortal sects and aristocratic families were fickle; if you ignored them, they would naturally find it boring.
Jiang Yingxue behaved herself well, and sure enough, after being tricked twice, others stopped paying much attention to her.
But Shen Xiaotang is still a novelty, and she is a minor cultivator from the foot of Mount Sumeru.
"Xiaoxue, you're actually my deskmate?"
A head popped up, and Jiang Yingxue looked up and saw Shen Xiaochun.
Xiao Chan has a round face and is quite pretty. Her dark eyes are like two big grapes, sparkling and smiling.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yingxue couldn't help but smile, as if she were infected by the joy.
Jiang Yingxue: "Mmm!"
There are many minor revisions in the class, but none of them can bring the same enthusiasm as Shen Xiaochun.
Shen Xiaochan picked up a broken piece of jade slip and examined it with some curiosity.
Jiang Yingxue quickly said, "I accidentally broke it. This was originally your timetable."
Jiang Yingxue: "I have a copy here, I can make it for you."
Shen Xiaochun: "It's nothing, it's alright!"
Jiang Yingxue took out a blank jade slip, touched it to her own white jade slip, made a copy, and gave it to Shen Xiaochan.
Shen Xiaochun whispered to her, "Can your Wind Fairy still be repaired?"
Jiang Yingxue replied, "I'm fixing it!"
The reason for the repair, besides the high cost, was that Jiang Yingxue had feelings for the Wind Fairy she had bought.
Even if you could buy another Wind Fairy, even if it were exactly the same, it would never replace the first Wind Fairy that Jiang Yingxue saved up to buy.
Jiang Yingxue added, "It's already about 70-80% complete."
Shen Xiaochun was very impressed: "You are very good at handicrafts, that's really amazing."
Jiang Yingxue felt a little embarrassed by Shen Xiaochun's praise.
But the Jiang family definitely won't support it.
There is also a category of puppeteers among cultivators, but puppetry is a sunset industry in the cultivator world and is not very popular. Jiang Yingxue was able to enter Tianyuan Prefecture, so her family must be hoping that she can achieve a bright future.
Jiang Yingxue took out a candy bucket from her magic pouch and handed it to Shen Xiaochun: "Thank you so much for last time."
The Jiang family also originated from the lower realm and was a large clan. Jiang Yizhi and Min Xuerou were both very polite people. The couple taught their daughter the same way, instilling in Jiang Yingxue the importance of reciprocity in social interactions, otherwise others would think she was not a trustworthy person.
While a daughter's talent is important, she also needs to know how to interact with people.
So Jiang Yingxue said she wanted to thank Shen Xiaochun. The couple both supported her and felt that their usually dull and introverted daughter had become more perceptive.
Of course, the Jiang couple were also a little worried, after all, it seemed that Sect Leader Shen and Fairy Rong had a very subtle discord. However, after much hesitation, the couple ultimately didn't say anything to Jiang Yingxue.
Shen Xiaochun had a sweet tooth, and a smile appeared in her dark eyes. She opened the sugar bucket, took out a piece of candy, ate it, and then casually shared it with Jiang Yingxue.
Shen Xiaochun: "Do you like to eat candy?"
Jiang Yingxue: "It's alright."
She wasn't as obsessed with sweets as Shen Xiaochun, nor did she dislike them, but she didn't eat much of them usually.
Shen Xiaochun: "But you specially picked the most expensive sugar bucket for me."
Jiang Yingxue blushed slightly; that was indeed true.
Jiang Yingxue was somewhat introverted and didn't actually have any close friends in Tianyuan Prefecture.
But for some reason, after meeting Shen Xiaochun, she couldn't help but like her and thought Shen Xiaochun was very nice.
Shen Xiaochun had done many small tasks since she was little, and she was very lively and clever. Such a girl naturally had a talent for being likable, as if it were an innate ability.
When it was time for class, Shen Xiaochun put the sugar bucket into her magic pouch.
Lingfeng Immortal Master is a beautiful and taciturn female cultivator who is skilled in talisman making and proficient in the art of talisman creation.
Like the other minor cultivators, Shen Xiaochan conjured a jade bamboo scroll and pointed to one of the bamboo slips.
After a wisp of spiritual energy was poured in, tiny characters, no bigger than a fly's head, were projected in front of each of the junior cultivators.
Shen Xiaochan feigned concentration, but her fingers secretly gathered magical energy.
Jiang Yingxue is great, Xiaoxue likes her very much, and she likes Xiaoxue very much too.
Xiaoxue is a very good girl; she does more than she says.
For example, she bought the most expensive sugar bucket, and there was also the broken white jade slip; Xiaoxue was trying to protect herself.
Shen Xiaochun was of course grateful to Jiang Yingxue, but this matter could not be left unresolved.
Shen Xiaochun focused her divine energy, and several eggs appeared in her palm, from which several exquisitely beautiful little insects hatched.
Although it is exquisitely crafted, it is still an insect after all, and people who are afraid of insects will probably scream in fright.
But Shen Xiaochun wasn't afraid. She even gently touched the insects with her fingers. These three insects were all her good babies.
Each insect also has a name: Shen Da, Chen Er, and Chen San.
Shen Xiaochan had the insects sense the aura of the disconnected jade slip, and the three insects grew wings and followed the aura.
When doing these things, Shen Xiaochuan held her breath and was very serious.
She didn't turn her head to look, but she could sense the direction the three insects were flying.
The three insects actually flew towards Rong Tang's direction.
Class 4 of the Gui Si year is famous for its outstanding talents, including Rong Tang and Rong Xiao, the son of Rong Jianxian.
Rong Ying and the sword immortal Rong Yuejun are sisters. Their children are in the same class and even sit at the same desk.
This kind of relationship is even closer than that of true siblings born of the same mother.
Although Rong Tang was only ten years old, he had beautiful features, a proud personality, and extremely high talent.
Rong Xiao is even colder. He is usually taciturn and has developed into an iceberg. He is always dressed in snow-white clothes and is aloof.
The two beauties of the Rong family are both exceptionally beautiful and of noble birth, with the immortal sects of Yuan Yuan Tian behind them, putting considerable pressure on the immortal teachers who come to teach in Class Four.
The two young cultivators from the Rong family are not easy to get close to, and they have many followers and admirers. The only one who can truly get close to them is Xie Jue, the young cultivator from the Xie family.
The insect flew towards the Rong siblings and finally landed on Mo Lin, Xie Jue's follower.
Although Mo Lin often mingled with those few people, they weren't really friends; he was just flattering the Rong and Xie families.
It was Mo Lin who broke Shen Xiaochan's white jade slip.
Shen Xiaochun: Oh!
She let the bug bite a bit of Mo Lin's hair, and Shen Da bit it hard and spat it out!
Mo Lin's hair is dry, bitter, and lifeless.
Shen Xiaochun's eyes lit up; she had discovered an incredible secret.
Before they knew it, it was time for Tianyuan Prefecture to have a weekend off. Shen Xiaochun, like a wild horse that had broken free, was eager to go home.
However, before returning to the Bixia Sect, she naturally had some things to do.
Rong Xiao stood under the tree, his eyes as black as ink, cold as if devoid of any emotion.
Sunlight slid down through the gaps in the branches, falling on his snow-white clothes, creating a play of light and shadow.
It's like a monster.
Xiao Xiu, a classmate, avoided him like the plague and was always trembling with fear in his presence.
Rong Xiao is the only son of Rong Jianxian, and Rong Yuejun has an extremely extreme personality. It is said that she placed some kind of restriction on Rong Xiao.
Although only ten years old, he is an extremely terrifying killing weapon.
This was originally neither in accordance with regulations nor legal, but the Rong family was a prominent family of the Yuan Yuan Tian Immortal Sect, and Rong Yuejun had already reached the cultivation level of an immortal, so no one in the four realms could restrain her.
Rong Xiao is also cold-hearted and doesn't usually pay much attention to people.
Among his peers, only Rongtang could talk to him for a few minutes, and he would still pay attention to this older sister.
Rong Tang couldn't help but ask, "When you go back to Tianyuan Prefecture this time, your aunt will personally teach you again."
Rong Xiao: "This time it won't be long, just three days."
Rong Xiao would often leave Tianyuan Mansion for private training. Rong Yuejun clearly felt that if her son followed the established routine at Tianyuan Mansion, his cultivation would be limited.
Sometimes when Rong Xiao returned, he was covered in wounds beneath his white robes.
Rong Yuejun is not the type to spoil her son, and she is also willing to let Rong Xiao suffer.
At this moment, Xie Jue came over. Unlike Rong Xiao's icy demeanor, Xie Jue had a charming and handsome face with a beaming smile.
He eagerly tried to please Rong Tang: "Sister Tang, that Shen Xiaochuan may have annoyed you, but she won't stay in Tianyuan Prefecture for long, she won't be in your way—"
Rong Tang retorted angrily, "What does this have to do with me? Who is she? What does she have to do with me?"
She knew, of course, that Xie Jue had instructed Mo Lin to give Shen Xiaochuan a hard time, but she couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to it.
Nowadays, it's no longer fashionable for ordinary people to act as selfless heroes.
Xie Jue has always been like this; he has caused a lot of trouble for others and even enjoys it.
But now Xie Jue is saying it's for her sake?
Why should she inexplicably owe Xie Jue a favor? What business is it of hers!
Seeing Rong Tang like this, Xie Jue panicked and stammered, "That's not what I meant. I just couldn't stand seeing her being so arrogant and arguing with you."
Rong Tang said coldly, "When did I ever argue with her? Does she even deserve to argue with me?"
She added, "And just because someone has argued with me doesn't mean she's worthy of being compared to me, or worthy of me targeting her. It's as if I care about her, or am genuinely afraid of her."
Xie Jue, usually quick-witted, was stunned when he saw Rong Tang's pretty face flush with anger, and he seemed speechless.
Mo Lin quickly said, "Sister Tang is absolutely right. She's just from the foot of Mount Sumeru. It's already an honor for Sister Tang to care about her."
"It's just that I don't like her and can't stand her arrogance."
Rong Tang ignored Mo Lin and was only angry with Xie Jue: "Xie Jue, whatever you do is none of my business, and don't involve me in anything you do."
That arrogant little girl is not worthy of playing the role of a vicious female supporting character who is a noble lady targeting a lowly cultivator in the lower realm.
It's not some boring storybook for those female cultivators in the lower realms.
As the group argued, they didn't notice an insect lurking on a nearby leaf.
Shen San disguised himself as an ordinary insect, diligently and painstakingly gnawing on the leaves that he didn't particularly care for.
With each flap of Shen San's wings, Shen Xiaochan heard the conversation clearly.
The person who carried out the plan was Mo Lin, and the mastermind was Xie Jue.
Rong Tang has nothing to do with this matter and can ignore it, but her words were too harsh.
That Tang Jie'er is really annoying.
Shen Xiaochun took out an apple and took a big bite, a cunning glint flashing in her dark, grape-like eyes.
There was something alive wriggling in her pocket. Shen Xiaochun reached out and stroked the furry thing in her pocket, then gently pulled it out.
The furry creature pounced out with lightning speed, as fast as a shooting star, heading straight for Mo Lin's head.
A few short, sharp meows escaped Mo Lin's notice. He was unharmed, but his wig was pulled off, revealing a bald head.
He's bald.
He didn't have a single hair on his head.
Mo Lin was only eleven years old, but he was wearing a wig.
In an attempt to force Mo Lin to grow too fast, the Mo family fed him some extremely potent tonics, the side effect of which was that all of Mo Lin's hair on his head was gone.
A series of gasps and exclamations rose and fell from all around.
Even the Rong siblings and Xie Jue were taken aback.
Rong Tang looked surprised.
Rong Xiao's face remained expressionless.
He suddenly looked in a certain direction and saw a slightly trembling figure behind a tree.
Shen Xiaochun suppressed a laugh, hid Mizi back in her bag, and stuffed a piece of dried fish inside.
She struggled to hold it in, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then the atmosphere around us was suddenly ignited, and bursts of laughter filled the air, with everyone around unable to contain themselves.
Rong Tang's lips curled up as if she were about to smile, but she quickly suppressed it, maintaining her cold and aloof demeanor.
Rong Xiao's face remained expressionless.
It's so noisy; Tianyuan Mansion has never been this noisy before.
