Fang Chaozhou kept his word. When he handed the manuscript to the bookstore owner, he also bought a large number of water-based magic weapons.
After buying it, he just lazily laid back in Shuiying Courtyard, completely becoming a complete waste.
When I have nothing to do, I read some storybooks, eat some snacks, go to the pond to catch some fish, and compete in swimming with the brown pheasants.
He was disabled for a month. The brown pheasant tried to persuade him at first, but later he stopped trying. They just lay there together, basking in the sun, first the front and then the back.
Just when Fang Chaozhou wanted to continue to waste, he received bad news from Xiang Yuan.
Xiang Yuan gathered all these outer disciples together and told them that in three days, he would set up a school for them so that they could formally start learning magic.
"I have seen that you have persisted during this period of time. So from today onwards, even if you have officially started cultivating immortals, in the morning of three days, there will be outstanding brothers and sisters coming to give you lectures."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the outer disciples became excited.
Most of the people here are ordinary people with average qualifications and almost no cultivation. The outstanding ones like Yao Chengyu were promoted to inner disciples on the second day of joining the sect.
These ordinary people who dream of becoming immortals have been in Tianshui Sect for several months, doing the same boring tasks over and over again. No one teaches them, and they don't even have jade slips for them to study on. During this period, some people couldn't stand it anymore and thought that staying here was a waste of time, so they took the initiative to leave Tianshui Sect.
Now they have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
The only one who was not excited was Fang Chaozhou. The brown pheasant had been infected by Fang Chaozhou during this period, and was heartbroken when he heard the news.
"Then can't you sleep in with me in the future?" Tears welled up in the brown pheasant's eyes.
Fang Chaozhou touched its head and said, "It's okay. We can get up together."
The brown pheasant's tears disappeared instantly, and he said in a cold tone, "I won't get up. It's not my class, why should I get up?"
No matter how Fang Chaozhou persuaded or coaxed it, the brown pheasant remained firm in its determination. It would rather be an idle chicken in Shuiyingyuan than go to school to gain knowledge.
Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to go to school alone.
This school is for outer disciples, with twenty people in each class. Because the school was far away from Shuiying Academy, the Tianshui Sect did not allow flying with swords, and the classes started very early, Fang Chaozhou had to get up early in the morning.
He was used to getting up late. When he arrived at the school, he couldn't stop yawning. He could only barely keep his head up, smell the fragrance of flowers wafting in from the window, and listen to the monks above talking about the basic knowledge of cultivating immortals.
Regardless of qualifications or cultivation, teaching starts from the basics.
This kind of introductory knowledge is the most boring for Fang Chaozhou.
The morning classes were all about introductory knowledge on cultivation, teaching people how to draw qi into the body. In the afternoon, they became outdoor classes, teaching swordsmanship.
"Who do you think our swordsmanship teacher will be?" Because it was not yet time for class, everyone was gathered in groups of three or four, and Fang Chaozhou was also among the crowd.
"I heard from Senior Brother Liu that their class was taught by Senior Brother Song from Wuzhi Peak. I wonder if it will be him this year. Senior Brother Liu said that Senior Brother Song is very patient and will not criticize others when he sees them make mistakes."
"Then we should also be Senior Brother Song."
Suddenly someone interrupted, "Speaking of swordsmanship, shouldn't Senior Brother Xue be the best swordsman in Tianshui Sect? His Broken Water Sword is world-famous. It would be great if he could teach us."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who heard them looked at the person who spoke.
The person who was speaking was a young boy with freckles on his cheeks. His real name was very difficult to pronounce, so everyone did not call him by his real name, but called him Xiao Que.
"Xiao Que, don't dream. The senior brother you mentioned will never come to teach us. Senior Brother Xue doesn't even pay attention to the inner disciples, so how could he pay attention to outer disciples like us?"
Xiao Que bit her lower lip, "Maybe not. What if Senior Brother Xue suddenly gets inspired this year? Don't blame me. Who among you dares to swear that you have never thought of wishing that Senior Brother Xue would teach you?"
Fang Chaozhou listened to their words and felt a little confused.
Is Xue Danrong good at swordsmanship? Why doesn't he feel that? That time, he just picked up an umbrella and defeated Xue Danrong's Broken Water Sword.
Some people were displeased when they heard Xiao Que say this, and immediately retorted sarcastically, "We do want to, but we want to teach you swordsmanship seriously, but you don't seem to think that way. You keep calling him Senior Brother Xue and Senior Brother Xue short. Have you seen him? He calls him Senior Brother Xue every day."
When Xiao Que heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red and he stretched out his claws to scratch the person who mocked him.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the people nearby immediately reached out to stop them. Fang Chaozhou originally didn't intend to get involved, but he didn't expect that although Xiaoque looked weak, he was actually very strong. He actually broke free from several people who were holding him and pounced on the people who were mocking him.
The people around tried to stop them, pushing and shoving, and the fight somehow ended up near Fang Chaozhou. Before Fang Chaozhou could even step back, he was grabbed hard by a claw.
"Hiss——" He took a breath and covered his face which had suffered an unexpected disaster.
Xiao Que realized that he had caught an innocent person and stopped in embarrassment. He looked at Fang Chaozhou and said, "Sorry, I didn't want to catch you. I wanted to catch Li Li."
Fang Chaozhou waved his hand, "It's okay."
It just hurt a little when he was first caught, but he didn't take this injury seriously.
Xiao Que still looked at Fang Chaozhou apologetically, "But I scratched your face. Face is so important to a person. Please let me accompany you to wash your face."
Fang Chaozhou told Xiaoque that he didn't need it, but Xiaoque's eyes became even redder when she was rejected by him. Fang Chaozhou couldn't bear to see this scene, so he could only follow her to wash her face with a tingling scalp.
The place for washing face is behind the school, where there is a well.
As soon as Xiao Que saw the well, he ran over to fetch water. After he fetched the water, he handed it to Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou took it, wet the handkerchief with water, and wiped it on his face.
"You can't do this, it's too rude." Xiao Que looked at Fang Chaozhou's behavior and was so anxious that she wanted to jump up and down, "Let me help you."
Fang Chaozhou took a step back and wiped his face with a handkerchief. "That's all. I live a rough life. It doesn't matter."
Xiao Que heard this and looked a little strange. "You are lying. You don't live a rough life at all. The clothes you wear are all made of the finest silk. The pearls on the jade crown that holds your hair are from the South China Sea. The annual production of that kind of pearl is no more than a thousand."
Fang Chaozhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look down at himself. He didn't even know how valuable these things on him were. These things were all in his storage ring.
"You are a noble, right? From the capital? You don't have to lie to me. The South China Sea pearls are tributes. Every year, the royal family will award these pearls to favored ministers." Xiao Que bit her lip, her eyes red again, "I was originally from an official family, but because my father offended the current emperor, my family fell into poverty. Those people just now were not even worthy of carrying my shoes."
Fang Chaozhou frowned. He only knew that he was a disciple of Tianshui Sect, but he had never thought about who his parents were. If what Xiao Que said is true, then his parents are in the capital? Are you still alive?
While Xiao Que was talking, he had been observing Fang Chaozhou's expression. Seeing that Fang Chaozhou seemed confused, he asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Fang Chaozhou dried his handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve. "It's almost time for class. Let's go back."
Xiaoque nodded.
On the way back, Xiao Que couldn't help but speak again, "Don't worry, there are not many people here who can tell your identity. They are all from rural areas and don't know what's good. We are from the same place, we should help each other."
Fang Chaozhou was not interested in what Xiaoque said, so he just smiled. He smiled when they stepped into the school yard.
Unlike the noisy yard before, the yard was now so quiet that you could hear a falling embroidery needle.
Before Fang Chaozhou turned his head, he saw Xiao Que take a breath, and then his face turned completely red. He stared at the front almost obsessively. Fang Chaozhou was surprised by his reaction and was a beat slower to look straight ahead.
The young man in snow-white clothes stood under the peach tree with a sword in his hand. There seemed to be a layer of ice floating on his snow-white face, and his phoenix eyes were even colder than ice. He first glanced at Xiao Que, whose face was red, and then he fixed his eyes on Fang Chaozhou. Almost instantly, he saw the wound on Fang Chaozhou's face.
It was a very long line, obviously caused by a scratch from a fingernail.
When Fang Chaozhou noticed Xue Danrong looking at him, his heart suddenly beat faster.
Did the other party recognize him?
That's impossible. He used a different face when he went to Zhichunzhou.
Just when Fang Chaozhou was worried whether Xue Danrong had discovered him, Xue Danrong had already turned his eyes away. He looked at the outer disciples who lowered their heads and dared not even breathe, and slowly drew out the Broken Water Sword in his hand.
"From today on, I will be your swordsmanship teacher. You cannot call me teacher except in class."
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Seeing that they were all standing, Fang Chaozhou looked at Xiao Que, whose face was still red and eyes were blurry, and could only pull her sleeve, "Wake up, class is about to start."
Seeing that the other party hadn't reacted, Fang Chaozhou could only use a mind-clearing technique to forcibly pull Xiaoque out of this state.
"Don't look at it, class has already started."
Xiao Que was hit by a spell and finally came to his senses a little. He pinched the corner of his clothes and returned to the team with Fang Chaozhou. However, after he returned to the team, he couldn't help staring at Xue Danrong.
Fang Chaozhou glanced at Xiaoque a few times, and was surprised to see that he was so obsessed with Xue Danrong, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"You, come out."
The sudden sound made Fang Chaozhou turn his head immediately.
He looked at the young man in the snow-covered clothes who was speaking, only to find that his sword was pointing at Xiao Que.
Xiao Que found that Xue Danrong was talking to him. His face, which had finally calmed down, turned red again. His body was shaking and his eyes could not leave Xue Danrong.
Xue Danrong's eyes became darker and darker. "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Fang Chaozhou noticed that Xue Danrong's face was extremely ugly, and seeing that Xiaoque was still in a daze, he couldn't help but stretch out his leg and kick Xiaoque, trying to remind the other party.
