[There is a modification in the content of the previous chapter. When Xue Danrong was punishing someone, he only read out Fang Chaozhou's pseudonym. 】
The brown pheasant's eyes widened from half-closed to a wide state, and it even shook its wings.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Chaozhou swallowed back what he was about to say. He frowned and said suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you're excited now?"
"Am I that kind of chicken? Would I get excited just because you met a pervert?" The brown pheasant said for a while, then nodded, "Obviously, I am. So tell me what kind of pervert you met. I was so bored today when you were not here."
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he walked to the bed and sat down. "On my way back just now, I felt someone following me, but I used the breath-finding technique, but there was no breath of living things. Later, I was taking a bath and fell asleep without realizing it, and my neck became like this."
Upon hearing this, the Brown Pheasant immediately looked around and said, "I didn't feel anyone coming in."
"I didn't feel it either, so I found it strange." Fang Chaozhou turned his head to look at the brown pheasant, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly spoke, "There is another weird thing today. My swordsmanship teacher turned out to be Xue Danrong."
"Do you suspect that the pervert is him?" The brown pheasant was very smart and could tell what Fang Chaozhou was thinking in just one sentence.
Fang Chaozhou frowned, his eyes becoming more tangled, "I'm not sure either, but I always feel that his attitude today is a little strange, as if he has seen through me."
If he didn't see through it, why would Xue Danrong force him to sit on his lap? But if you say that he saw through it, Xue Danrong's attitude was also a bit strange.
Now that Xue Danrong has discovered his identity, shouldn’t he expose him? If the pervert just now was Xue Danrong, it would be even more strange. Why would Xue Danrong sneak into Shuiyingyuan and kiss him?
Could it be that...
Could it be that Xue Danrong discovered his identity, but also fell in love with him because of dual cultivation, so she couldn't control her feelings?
No, this shouldn't be possible. Who would fall in love with someone who forces them to practice dual cultivation?
What's more, his current face and the face he had when he was practicing dual cultivation with Xue Danrong are not good-looking, and can even be said to be ugly. Doesn't Xue Danrong have a fetish for ugliness?
Wait, what if he does?
It seemed that when they were practicing dual cultivation, Xue Danrong especially liked to stare at his face and kiss him.
Fang Chaozhou shook his head violently. The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed.
Now everything is just his guess. After all, he didn't catch the pervert on the spot, so to catch a person, you have to seize the stolen goods.
If that pervert comes again, he will definitely catch him and blow his head off!
The next day, Fang Chaozhou, who had just arrived in the classroom, heard people next to him discussing Xiao Que's matter.
"Xiao Que was sent down the mountain in the middle of the night yesterday. I heard that she cried so hard and...she even called Senior Brother Xue's name." The person who spoke couldn't help but look around when he said the second half of the sentence.
He was afraid that the teacher in charge of the morning classes would come and hear what he said.
"He still dared to call Senior Brother Xue by his name? Yesterday, he saw Senior Brother Xue in such an ugly state that it was unbearable to look at. I think it's better to kick him out. How can a cultivator be like him?"
"I heard that Senior Brother Xue hates people staring at him the most. Xiao Que was like that yesterday. Even if he hadn't fainted, Senior Brother Xue wouldn't have kept him here."
Fang Chaozhou took out a piece of preserved fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, silently listening to the people around him chatting, but he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Fang Zhuo, you should be careful too."
Fang Chaozhou was confused, "Huh?"
The man said in a serious tone, "You came back from the backyard with Xiao Que yesterday and were seen by Senior Brother Xue. What if Senior Brother Xue thought you had a good relationship with Xiao Que? You'd better not do anything these days."
Fang Chaozhou thought for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case."
Although he had lost his previous memories, he felt that Xue Danrong was a very tolerant person to a certain extent, and unlike what they said, he did not hate others staring at his face.
Sometimes Fang Chaozhou would stare at Xue Danrong's face in amazement.
This was really because Xue Danrong's face was so handsome, especially when coupled with the cold fragrance on his body. If not for this, his bones would not be almost falling apart every time.
When he was stunned by Xue Danrong, the other party was not angry. Sometimes he would touch his face and even kiss him.
"Don't disbelieve me. Weren't you punished yesterday? Senior Brother Xue only remembered your name. He didn't mention the names of the other two when he punished them. You see, I think you might be punished today too."
When Fang Chaozhou wanted to reply to him, the teacher of the morning class had already arrived, so the man hurried back to his seat.
This morning's teacher is not the same person who taught yesterday's class. This teacher will teach them the basic knowledge of magical instruments today.
As soon as this teacher appeared, some people gasped.
"Oh my god, it's Senior Brother Kang from Five Finger Peak. He is a great weapon refiner. I heard that a magic weapon he made is worth 10,000 spirit stones. How could he teach outer disciples like us?"
“We are so lucky.”
Everyone sighed.
Senior Brother Kang looked very gentle and spoke in a soft voice. When Fang Chaozhou heard that the other party was a great weapon refiner, he thought of the golden bell on his ankle, which he had never been able to take off. So during the break, he went to find Senior Brother Kang who was drinking tea and resting in the cubicle.
Senior Brother Kang knew why Fang Chaozhou came, and he was not annoyed at all. He even asked Fang Chaozhou to sit down quickly.
When Fang Chaozhou pulled his socks down to his ankles and rolled up his trouser legs, his eyes lit up. He then moved closer to Fang Chaozhou's legs and looked at the golden bells carefully. After a long while, he said, "Is this the string of golden bells you want to take?"
"Yes." Fang Chaozhou nodded, "Can I take this?"
Senior Brother Kang sat back down. "You can give it a try, but are you sure you want to take it? This bell is a sacred defensive weapon. There are only two in the world. I heard that one was buried with the owner who made it. The other one is on your leg."
Fang Chaozhou didn't expect this string of bells to be so powerful, but after thinking about it, he said, "I want to take it."
He didn't like wearing a bell like this on his foot, especially since he didn't know who gave it to him.
The owner of the bell should not be Xue Danrong.
If it was Xue Danrong, the other party would recognize him as Fang Chaozhou. Xue Danrong had no reaction to the bell and would not touch it.
"Since you want to take it, I'll give it a try." said Senior Brother Kang.
Senior Brother Kang is indeed a master of weapon refining. It took him just a quarter of an hour to remove the golden bell from Fang Chaozhou's feet. Before that, Fang Chaozhou had tried countless methods but to no avail.
"Keep this thing. If you want to wear it again in the future, just press this switch." Senior Brother Kang showed Fang Chaozhou the inner buckle of the golden bell. "If you want to take it off after putting it on, you can come to me again."
"Thank you, teacher." Fang Chaozhou put the golden bell into the storage ring.
After finishing the morning class, Fang Chaozhou went to Xiang Yuan to ask for leave. It had been a while since he submitted his manuscript, and it was about time for him to ask his boss whether his manuscript had been approved.
Xiang Yuan approved the leave readily because he knew that the current classes were all basic courses and there was not much need for Fang Chaozhou to attend them.
After Fang Chaozhou went down the mountain, he went straight to the bookstore. However, the bookstore owner, who was obviously happy to see him last time, had a different expression when he saw him today.
"You're here, sit down, I'll make you some spiritual tea." When the bookstore owner stood up from behind the counter, he accidentally knocked over the books on the counter.
Such an unusual performance made Fang Chaozhou stunned for a moment. When the boss brewed the spiritual tea, he spoke first, "Did my manuscript fail?"
"No, it's over." The bookstore owner replied immediately, "The payment has also arrived. I will settle it for you later."
He said this, but the hand holding the spiritual tea trembled slightly.
Fang Chaozhou asked the other party if he had encountered any problems, but the bookstore owner insisted that it was nothing and quickly paid Fang Chaozhou the spirit stones. However, he told Fang Chaozhou that although they were satisfied with his manuscript this time, they had not commissioned him to write for some time.
No commissioned writing means no income.
No income means you can’t buy water-based magic weapons.
Although he had just obtained a large amount of spirit stones, if he did not continue to make money, according to his consumption capacity, they would all be used up one day. In fact, that day might not be far away. He had not gone to see Xue Danrong for dual cultivation for a month.
So Fang Chaozhou thought of what Xiaoque had said to him yesterday. Xiaoque said that the things he had were not ordinary items. Why not sell a few of them?
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou went to the pawnshop, but the things Xiaoque told him could not be sold at a high price in the pawnshop. Even when Fang Chaozhou took out the water magic weapon he had just bought, the pawnshop owner lowered the price by 70%.
Seeing Fang Chaozhou's increasingly depressed expression, the pawnshop owner couldn't help but say, "Sir, I'm not trying to lower your price, it's just that the item you want to sell is too common. Take the water-based magic weapon you just took out, for example. There are many such magic weapons, and they are too common, so there is no need for me to take it."
Fang Chaozhou reacted after hearing this, "You want to collect something that is rare in the world?"
"Yes." The pawnshop owner nodded, "I collect unique items. Only unique items can command a high price at auction. To tell you the truth, everything I collect at this pawnshop will eventually be auctioned.
The only item he had seemed to have was the string of golden bells.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the boss and took out the golden bell. "What about mine?"
The pawnshop owner picked it up, looked at it, and when he was about to put it down, he looked at it again, and this time he looked at it for a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour later, the pawnshop owner finally put down the golden bells. "This string of bells is barely acceptable. I can pay 500 spirit stones for it."
Fang Chaozhou put away the golden bell as soon as he heard it, and turned to leave. He hadn't taken two steps when he heard the pawnshop owner's voice, "Don't leave, customer. If you are not satisfied with my offer, we can talk about it again."
Fang Chaozhou ignored him, but the boss chased him out and forcibly dragged him to the second floor of the pawnshop. The price he quoted increased step by step from 500 at the beginning to 200,000 spirit stones in the end.
Fang Chaozhou didn't think much about selling this string of bells, but when he heard the price of two hundred million spirit stones, his heart wavered.
Seeing Fang Chaozhou still didn't say anything, the pawnshop owner gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add another fifty thousand, twenty-five spirit stones, it can't be higher. If I bid higher, I'll still lose money when the auction is held."
Fang Chaozhou looked at the golden bell in his hand for a while, then looked up at the pawnshop owner, "Make it a round number, three hundred thousand."
…
Fang Chaozhou became rich, so neither he nor the "chicken" slept well that night.
They had never seen so much money, especially the brown pheasant. After knowing that Fang Chaozhou had a deposit of 500,000 spirit stones, it excitedly spun around in place, and only stopped when Fang Chaozhou felt dizzy.
At night, they slept in bed.
"Let's sneak down the mountain tomorrow night," said the Brown Pheasant.
"There is a Zuishilou restaurant at the foot of the mountain," said Fang Chaozhou.
"And there's the preserved fruit shop we all like," said Brown Pheasant.
"Chestnut shop."
"A roast chicken shop."
"Braised duck... wait, roast chicken shop?" Fang Chaozhou looked at the brown pheasant lying on its belly.
The brown pheasant looked back at him, and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"
Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the brown pheasant, "It's okay, eat it all, don't miss any of our stores tomorrow."
Because they were discussing food, they didn't sleep well. The brown pheasant was able to make up for the sleep, but Fang Chaozhou was miserable. He almost didn't get up. He was like a wandering soul in the morning class and had no idea what the teacher said.
It was even worse in the afternoon and he couldn't help yawning. During the break, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help it and found an empty classroom to take a nap.
But he didn't expect that he would fall asleep until dark. When he woke up, he was startled and quickly got up and wanted to go out. But as soon as he got up, he found that there were other people in the classroom.
Because it was completely dark, he couldn't see the person clearly, he only saw his silhouette.
The man was sitting on a stool not far from him.
A bad feeling flashed through Fang Chaozhou's mind, and he secretly took out the night pearl lamp. As soon as he took it out, he quickly put the lamp back.
It’s really Xue Danrong!
