He Yunxiao stared at Chu Chu's little hand, his desire to taste the antidote growing stronger.
However, with Ziruo's younger sister beside her, the objective conditions simply do not allow it.
Otherwise, He Yunxiao would definitely have to find a way to try the antidote.
He Yunxiao recalled his experience of tasting the antidote last time. To be honest, Chu Chu's little hands didn't taste like anything, but when he saw the indifferent look in Chu Chu's eyes, he inexplicably wanted to taste it, and now he wanted it even more.
There was nothing I could do, since my little sister Ziruo was right next to me.
He Yunxiao always maintained a serious demeanor in front of Ziruo, because Ziruo was very serious, and He Yunxiao had to be serious in order to win her favor.
For the first time, he felt a pang of regret. Damn it, how could something so proper be so inconvenient?
Chu Chu had nothing to do anyway. She had no interest in reading, but after focusing her attention on manipulating her internal energy to help He Yunxiao cultivate, she devoted most of her energy to him.
As for He Yunxiao playing with her little hands, she already knew, but she didn't want to lower herself to his level.
When she came to her senses, she realized that He Yunxiao had stopped playing with his hands and was staring at them with a strange expression.
Chu Chu: What do you want to do?
He Yunxiao: It's nothing...
Chu Chu: If you have nothing to do, you can focus your attention on how to control your internal energy. Your original cultivation level was only seventh rank, but after taking the Soul-Devouring Pill, it reached eighth rank, and yesterday I raised it to ninth rank. Your cultivation level has increased, but your ability to control internal energy is still at the seventh rank level. I can help you improve your cultivation level, but you still need to improve this kind of control ability yourself.
He Yunxiao asked: What will happen if I don't improve?
Chu Chu: After reaching the ninth rank, you will be the weakest ninth rank; after reaching the grandmaster rank, you will be the weakest grandmaster.
He Yunxiao asked in surprise: Is it that serious?
Chu Chu: Serious, but not serious.
He Yunxiao: Why do you say it's not serious?
Chu Chu: Just fight those one level below you. If you can't beat someone of the same or higher level, just come and ask me for help.
He Yunxiao: ...That's a good idea too...
Since He Yunxiao had already touched and played with Chu Chu's hands, and had nothing else to do, he did as Chu Chu had suggested and focused on observing how she manipulated her internal energy.
Observing how the world's number one master manipulates internal energy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others, but for He Yunxiao, it's something he sees everywhere, all the time, and he's even somewhat unwilling to watch.
He Yunxiao was distracted by observing how Chu Chu manipulated her internal energy. At first, he was amazed by Chu Chu's extraordinary control, but later he became bored. This was like watching an excavator; after watching for a while, it got meaningless.
She looks better when Chuchu blushes.
Honestly, when Chu Chu blushed after having her acupoints pressed, the contrast and impact were what He Yunxiao would call the strongest!
I need to figure out a way to trick Chu Chu again!
Make her blush!
Chu Chu was focused on transferring her internal energy to He Yunxiao when she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. There were almost no people in the world who could make her feel threatened. Except for He Yunxiao, who was a different kind of danger.
She frowned and glanced at He Yunxiao, but seeing that he seemed unaffected, she said nothing.
Chu Chu glanced at He Yunxiao, which made Fan Ziruo, who was sitting on the other side of the table, a little restless.
Fan Ziruo was originally engrossed in her book, but when she took a break, she couldn't help but glance at He Yunxiao. He Yunxiao and Chu Xiaoxiao were standing close together, and at first she didn't think anything of it, but after looking closer, she felt something was off.
Logically speaking, Fan Zi could not deduce that Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao had any connection.
But for some reason, the more she looked at the two of them, the more she felt something was wrong.
When students are reading normally, they inevitably whisper and fidget with each other. But Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao didn't exchange a word or make any movements; they were like two wooden blocks. Yet, these two wooden blocks somehow gave the impression of having a very good understanding.
"Young master."
Hearing Fan Ziruo call his name, He Yunxiao looked up and asked, "Miss Ziruo, what's wrong?"
Fan Ziruo asked, "Young master, is there anything you don't understand in the article?"
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "Not yet."
Fan Zi nodded slightly and asked Chu Xiaoxiao, "Miss Xiaoxiao, is there anything you don't understand?"
Chu Chu had never liked Fan Ziruo, and now she had only promised He Yunxiao to let her live until next summer to see the lotus flowers, so there was no way she would be kind to her. So she coldly said, "No."
Fan Ziruo glanced at the book He Yunxiao had placed on the table and smiled, "Does young master still remember what you were reading?"
He Yunxiao was a little embarrassed. He was so focused on holding hands that he didn't pay any attention to the books on the table.
"I forgot..."
Fan Ziruo looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and He Yunxiao, who were sitting shoulder to shoulder, and said, "Young Master, Miss Xiaoxiao, this desk is long at the front and short at the sides. It's a bit cramped for three people to sit at the front, but it's a bit crowded for two people to sit at the side. I think, since you two aren't concentrating on your reading, why don't you sit at the front of the desk with me? I'll sit between you two and then explain each article in detail. What do you think?"
If He Yunxiao were alone, he would naturally want to sit next to Ziruo. But since he was holding Chuchu's little hand, he didn't dare to get too close to Ziruo, nor did he dare to separate from Chuchu and let Ziruo sit in the middle.
He Yunxiao was trying to think of a way to politely decline Ziruo's kindness when, unexpectedly, Chuchu, who usually didn't want to talk to anyone, spoke up.
She said directly, "No."
Fan Ziruo smiled and asked, "Why?"
Chu Chu gently tugged at He Yunxiao's hand that was holding hers. Then, facing Fan Ziruo directly, she raised her head and said, "There's no reason. I said no, and that's final."
