Chapter 24 The whereabouts of the main body
After He Qing fed the lantern flower the spirit stone, the lantern flower became smaller again and jumped into his flowerpot. Two leaves surrounded a flower bud, which looked small and cute.
He Qing put it on the balcony: "What a fickle man-eating flower."
Sun Tu snorted: [You also said he was called the Man-Eating Flower. I think he is quite similar to you.]
"I don't eat people." He Qing took off the golden bell cover and put it on the table. He went to take a shower, came out and lay on the bed to sleep.
The next day, He Qing went to school as usual. Today, Qiao Yi had a class. Qiao Yi was holding a piece of chalk and a large notebook and was passionately explaining the steps and experiments of extracting plant essences. He suddenly stopped in the middle of his speech and asked, "Who can help me?"
The students shook their heads.
Qiao Yi smiled, pointed at He Qing and said, "Come here, Mr. He."
Everyone looked at him, and in their hearts they mourned for a reason. As everyone knew, Master Qiao's experiments often exploded...
He Qing went to help out of curiosity. A moment later, a loud bang was heard in the classroom, thick smoke floated out of the window, and the students ran out to the corridor.
The students next door secretly teased them: "Oh, it exploded again."
"Shut up, your chemistry teacher is even scarier!"
"..." The other party shut up silently.
He Qing covered his mouth and stared at Qiao Yi resentfully in the thick smoke: "Ahem... Teacher, you are just like making an elixir." Teacher, are you sure you are not making an elixir? The alchemy furnace exploded.
"Your steps were all wrong." Qiao Yi fanned the smoke with a fan. "This experiment failed. Let's try again. Hurry up and clean up and continue the class."
He Qing looked down at the test tubes, porcelain pieces, and glass fragments on the ground and picked them up silently: "Teacher, wait until your experiment is successful next time before bringing them up."
"To prove to you that practice makes perfect." Qiao Yi commanded him motionlessly, "Don't refute the master."
"Yes." He Qing packed up his things with great difficulty and retreated immediately for the second experiment.
Qiao Yi pointed at Chu Yan with a grim smile, trying to divert the conflict: "Chu Yan, your deskmate is not good enough, you go."
Chu Yan stared at He Qing, and He Qing smiled: "Then I'll leave Desk mate Chu to you."
Chu Yan stared at his gray and dark face, then looked at Qiao Yi, then stood up and walked towards him with a murderous look on his face.
"..." He Qing lowered his head, took out the wooden fish and knocked it, merit +1.
Qiao Yi smiled slightly: "Then I'll trouble you, classmate Chu."
The students quickly moved their chairs back. Help! The school bully and the tutor went crazy together. They were in trouble!
After a while, explosions were heard one after another in the classroom. The thick smoke caused a collective protest from the teachers next door, and Qiao Yi was forced to terminate the experiment.
He wiped his blackened face and said, "You should be careful when doing experiments. Some exotic fruits have energy... ahem."
"...Yes." The students exhaled white smoke and felt hopeless.
After Qiao Yi's terrifying experiment class, the students fled the scene collectively. He Qing packed up his notes, put them in his bag and walked out of the laboratory. Qiao Yi ordered the class leaders to clean up the scene and follow He Qing.
He Qing looked back and asked, "Teacher, is there anything?"
Qiao Yi smiled and pulled him into the utility room and closed the door.
"..." He Qing, "I'm going to shout."
"You're shouting your throat out... Bah, I'm a serious teacher." Qiao Yi lit a cigarette, frowned and began to pretend to be deep again, "Foreigners are coming soon, it's a large-scale diplomatic exchange meeting."
"Yeah." He Qing nodded to show that he heard it.
Qiao Yi stared at him for a while and said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? There is something wrong with Duan Chenhui's foot. We are afraid that the other party will tear up the peace treaty or do something secretly if we disagree with him."
He Qing lowered his head and thought for a while: "It means that the general has many enemies. I understand."
Qiao Yi held his shoulders and grinned: "So you can join in as well, or you can be a backup."
"Hmm?" He Qing still didn't understand what he was talking about. "What backup?"
Qiao Yi opened a light screen and showed it to him: "It's a friendly match between different ethnic groups. There are various bonuses and prizes for the winners."
He Qing looked at the screen and understood: "Teacher, you said so much just because you want me to participate."
"Yes, this will benefit everyone. Aliens have many strange abilities and are too cunning. It's unfair to us." Qiao Yi nodded. "It's a pity that I'm over the age limit. If I were ten years younger."
"..." He Qing glanced at him, "The instructor's bone age is already forty, even if he is ten years younger, he cannot participate."
"...You are such a bummer sometimes. No, when did you touch my bones?"
“It’s time to change the watermelon.”
"Don't mention it."
"The generals are younger than you."
“I’m doing academic research!”
Qiao Yi wiped his face and opened the prize column. "If you win, you will get a custom mecha and a bonus of tens of millions. It's easy for you, so why not do it?"
"This is cheating..." He Qing looked at the prizes and suddenly saw something.
Qiao Yi smiled and said, "You've also discovered that there's a thousand-year-old lotus seed among the prizes. It could be your relative! And you also said you're very young. It's not cheating at all. It's just that heroes emerge young."
He Qing's eyes widened. That was his real body, not a relative! It was like searching for something without any effort.
Sun Tu said with a click of his tongue: [Oh, it's your true form, quite white, like jade, but why are you so evil? ]
He Qing grabbed the light screen and looked at it carefully: "Where is the prize?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qiao Yi couldn't help but stroke his smooth and soft hair. "This is the lotus seed placed in the special energy stone holy grail. Be careful and don't try to steal it."
He Qing pursed his lips: "I didn't..." He just wanted to get his body back...how could he have stolen it?
"It's in the hands of the plant tribe now. I estimate that Duan Chenhui will send more people to guard it when it arrives." Qiao Yi once again warned him not to act on his own.
"Then it will be fine as long as our team wins the game." He Qing was really anxious, but if Duan Chenhui was also involved in the custody, then he certainly couldn't "steal" himself away, otherwise Duan Chenhui would be responsible.
But the real body has been found, which means he can heal Duan Chenhui. Calculating the time, ten thousand years, he should be able to bloom soon. After curing Duan Chenhui and ending the marriage, he can travel around the world to continue looking for the nebula instrument, and then return to the world of cultivation.
"Yes." Qiao Yijian convinced him, took the light screen back, and patted his shoulder, "You have to prepare well. We have 200 participants, and 10 backups."
He Qing looked up at him and said, "Teacher... I am currently at the bottom of the class, ranking 63,000th in the entire academy."
"..." Qiao Yi, "There are still three months to prepare. Please challenge the higher-level player."
"..." He Qing, "Thank you, teacher, for thinking highly of me."
Qiao Yi encouraged him: "You must bring glory to the empire and all mankind!"
"Let's talk about something practical."
"You need to find your relatives."
"..." He Qing stared at him, "That's not my relative." And he is a fairy, not a human.
Qiao Yi smiled and said, "It's up to you anyway."
He Qing calculated with his fingers, and now that he was married to Duan Chenhui, he did have a responsibility: "Okay."
Qiao Yi finally convinced him and opened the door of the utility room to let him go. He Qing walked out and suddenly turned back and said to him, "By the way, mentor, Shi Lei invited everyone else to eat the last two watermelons."
“?! That brat! How dare he deceive the teacher!” Qiao Yi rolled up his sleeves and left.
He Qing smiled and turned back, and found Shi Lei on the rooftop: "Student Shi Lei."
"Hey? It's He Qing, what's wrong?" Shi Lei was watering the flowers here.
He Qing walked over and patted his shoulder like Qiao Yi did: "I heard there is a diplomatic friendly match, you should also participate, I think you have great potential."
Shi Lei scratched his head: "I do feel that I have become much better recently, but I am still far behind the Chief and the others."
He Qing took the opportunity to explore. Shi Lei had already taken the herbs and the effect was good. He smiled and said, "We will be the backup and cheerleaders. We can just recruit a few more people to join us."
Shi Lei's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands: "You're right! I think I can climb to 201st place now! After I get the bonus, I will open a watermelon and sunflower base! Let everyone enjoy the freedom of eating watermelons!"
"..." He Qing was silent for a moment, "As long as you are happy, work hard from today."
Shi Lei looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Are you serious?"
"Really." He Qing smiled, opened a light screen, grabbed Shi Lei's finger and pressed it, "We will be teammates from now on."
[Ding, Shi Lei, member of the Green Leaf Team, registration completed.]
Shi Lei widened his eyes and raised his finger to look. Has he joined the gang now?
He Qing looked at the form and nodded, then waved to him, "I'll find a few more people. Goodbye, Shi Lei. By the way, the instructor seems to be looking for you angrily."
"???" Wait, Shi Lei reacted, "Student He Qing, aren't you a weak Omega who can't take care of yourself? Does the general know that you want to climb from the 63,000th place to the top 210th place?"
Shi Lei almost dropped his jaw in shock. He looked at He Qingyuan's back and thought, could it be that He Qing also got help from that expert? He touched his stomach and nodded after a moment. It should be.
But the instructor is looking for him? He should just run away first.

He Qing then found Chu Yan, his classmate, school bully, class leader, and poor student, who was eating in the cafeteria. Chu Yan and Chu the school bully were fighting with someone in the cafeteria: "There is no one in this position, so I can use it."
"We have already made a reservation! Are you blind?" The person looking for trouble kicked the lunch box and hit him again.
He Qing stood by and watched, and shouted in the middle: "Come on, classmate Chu."
"..." Chu Yan's foot pulled back and kicked the steel plate next to him, leaving a big hole in the plate.
"......!!" The opponents looked at the steel plate, supported each other, got up and ran away.
He Qing walked over: "Student Chu, let me tell you——"
Chu Yan picked up his lunch box and turned away.
He Qing chased after him and stopped him. Everyone in the cafeteria looked over and opened their mouths in horror.
Chu Yan's forehead jumped, and he pulled He Qing to a corner: "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm eating?"
He Qing pulled open a light screen: "Let's join in."
Chu Yan glanced at the table and sneered: "The chief and the last one are in the same team?"
"Very interesting, isn't it?" He Qing immediately interjected, and then said, "Or do you already have teammates? That's a pity."
"..." Chu, the school bully, usually walks sideways in the school and is invincible. In fact, he doesn't have any teammates. He looked at the form and pressed a fingerprint himself. "Okay, don't bother me at the canteen door anymore."
"Okay, continue eating." He Qing said and left.
“…” Chu Yan scratched his hair, turned around and kicked the bottle on the ground into the trash can, scaring the person who was about to throw away the trash. Rumors spread again that day.
Chu Yan stared at the other person for a while, then turned around and went back to the dormitory with the lunch box.

Finally, He Qing found Zhang Lin and Zhang Yi who were watching the competition at the school's challenge arena. He Qing went over and said, "It's really good."
Zhang Yi was startled: "Don't appear so often, is there something wrong?"
"Let's find a place to sit down?" He Qing pointed to a stone bench not far away.
Several people sat down, Zhang Yi gave him a handful of melon seeds, and after listening to him, he said: "We have confirmed that we will participate, will you too??"
"That's good." He Qing nodded, "I'll join in too."
Zhang Yi was silent for a moment, then shouted: "What did you say?!!!"
Zhang Lin pressed Zhang Yi down: "There are people around, keep your voice down." He looked at He Qing and said, "There are still three months left. If you want to participate, you must challenge opponents of higher levels. You can only challenge 100 opponents at a time."
Zhang Lin even pulled out a light screen for him to see: "Take a look for yourself. This is the ranking of the campus network."
He Qing counted with his fingers: "Only 630, OK."
"He Qing, the time is three months! It will take you a year if you challenge two every day! That's easy for you to say!" Zhang Yi tried his best to lower his voice, with a crazy expression.
He Qing pointed at the rules and said, "The last rule says that if you win consecutively, you can double your winnings and then double them again to skip levels. It will be more convenient to challenge on the Star Network."
"..." Zhang Yi was stunned and speechless for a moment, "This... seems to be this..."
Zhang Lin thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. In fact, some people have tried this before."
"Who is it?" He Qing was also curious.
"General Duan." Zhang Lin pondered, "So he is my idol."
"Hasn't the general always been very powerful?" He Qing was even more surprised.
"The general had a serious illness when he was young. When his parents passed away, he was actually the last one to enter school... but everyone has forgotten this." Zhang Lin asked him after he finished speaking, "The general won first place, did you too?"
"Surpass the first." He Qing suddenly became absent-minded when he heard about Duan Chenhui's past.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yi didn't quite understand. "How did you surpass the first place?"
"Defeat the coach and become a special reserve." He Qing looked at them, "These rankings are very important to you." But he is from the world of cultivation, and he doesn't want to take away other people's opportunities.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Lin looked at each other and said, "Yes."

After He Qing and the Zhang brothers finished their conspiracy, they saw Duan Chenhui feeding carp in the courtyard when they returned. He looked at Duan Chenhui again and again.
Duan Chenhui had already noticed He Qing peeking at him, so he turned around and asked jokingly, "How was class today?"
"Very good, the classmates are very friendly." He Qing walked over and thought of Zhang Lin's words. He suddenly realized that he didn't know anything about Duan Chenhui's past, let alone Duan Chenhui's family and back.
Duan Chenhui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, stuffing some feed into his mouth: "You must be hungry, feed the carp and then go eat."
"Yeah." He Qing fed the carp while looking down at their reflections.
So how did the general's parents die...
After feeding the koi and having dinner with Duan Chenhui, He Qing held the terminal and pondered. He wanted to look for some information, but he was clearly leaving. What would happen if he knew?
"Little Buddhist, I remembered something. Your thousand-year-old lotus seeds should be very nutritious. I guess they will attract monsters and ghosts lurking in this world to fight for them." Sun Tu slapped his head and finally remembered this matter.
"Yeah." He Qing put down the terminal and fell on the bed holding the wooden fish. "You really have a goldfish brain."
Sun Tu, who was hit in the sore spot, almost flew into a rage. He said with a smile, "It's not a pleasant feeling to be eaten by others. You'd better win back your original body."
"Have you ever been eaten?"
"without."
"...Is it because someone else wants to eat you?" He Qing raised the Golden Bell Cover and took a look. He felt that Sun Tu was lying. In the world of cultivation, fish can leap over the dragon gate. Carp goblins can be said to be very nutritious. If they have dragon blood, they will be even more powerful.
"How many times have I told you that I'm not a carp spirit? Those fish are as stupid as the ones in your lotus pond." Sun Tu sneered.
He Qing put down the Golden Bell Cover and did not ask him again: "Got it, the General's Mansion will not eat carp from now on."
"&*#%%..." Sun Tu suddenly wanted to run to the street and curse.
