Chapter 58: The One-Month Period Has Arrived, The Bet

Bai Zhou took a shower in the lounge bathroom, and after coming out, he also cleaned the floor.

However, he didn't see Xian Lin'er; she had either gone to take a shower or had run away.

"Looks like she's still shy..." Bai Zhou grinned.

Based on today's events, Bai Zhou could also judge that his charm attribute had a great bonus to favorability, and his favorability with Xian Lin'er was definitely not low.

Otherwise, no matter how well he did, Xian Lin'er couldn't possibly help him...

However, because of the teacher-student relationship, and Xian Lin'er was also a married woman, he and Xian Lin'er could only engage in some small ambiguity.

As for going further, the difficulty was extremely high.

The difficulty was not in favorability, but in Xian Lin'er's heart knot.

After all, in Xian Lin'er's heart, Yan Shaozhe's position was still the first, and the second was Qian Duoduo.

Although Xian Lin'er hadn't slept with Qian Duoduo, Qian Duoduo's crazy fawning over the years had still brushed up quite a bit of favorability.

Bai Zhou wanted to surpass these two in Xian Lin'er's heart, and the road was long and arduous.

The next day.

Bai Zhou came to Xian Lin'er's laboratory as usual.

"Good morning, Teacher~"

Bai Zhou saw Xian Lin'er researching her own soul tool and instantly remembered what happened yesterday, his mood extremely good, his smile brilliant.

"Hmm, study quickly. There are only a few days left until the assessment day; don't be lazy."

Xian Lin'er nodded calmly, encouraged him, and then continued to lower her head to research.

However, her ear roots turned from pink to bright red very obviously.

Clearly, Xian Lin'er was not as calm as she looked on the surface.

"Alright~"

Bai Zhou chuckled; this was the first time he had seen Xian Lin'er show such a cute side.

However, Bai Zhou didn't bring up what happened yesterday, just pretending that nothing had happened.

Everything followed its natural course.

If he acted too deliberately or deliberately teased Xian Lin'er, it might increase his feelings with Xian Lin'er.

But it was also possible that he would be severely punished by Xian Lin'er.

Although Bai Zhou believed that Xian Lin'er couldn't bear to hurt him, he would definitely suffer a bit.

Most importantly...

Bai Zhou couldn't beat Xian Lin'er, so he chose the safest way—honestly go and craft soul tools.

Xian Lin'er researched her soul tool while using her perception to check on Bai Zhou.

Seeing that Bai Zhou really went to study obediently, her heart also relaxed fiercely.

"This little rascal is quite sensible..." Xian Lin'er thought secretly in her heart, inexplicably feeling a bit satisfied.

She was really afraid that Bai Zhou would bring up what happened yesterday.

This kind of thing, maintaining a tacit understanding between both parties was the best; if it were really said out loud, it would make both parties awkward.

A few days passed in a flash, and finally, the assessment time agreed upon with Yan Shaozhe arrived.

During these few days, although Xian Lin'er only let Bai Zhou massage her feet and had no rewards.

But Bai Zhou felt that his relationship with Xian Lin'er was becoming closer and closer; anyway, favorability kept rising, and once it broke through the critical value, everything would be natural...

Xian Lin'er took Bai Zhou to a public laboratory in the experimental building.

Bai Zhou entered and found that two people were already waiting inside.

One of them was naturally the white-haired and white-bearded Yan Shaozhe, his aura restrained, his face peaceful.

The other was also an old man, but with black hair and a crew cut, a sturdy build, and he was armed with various shining soul tools, looking extremely technological. Although Bai Zhou hadn't seen this person, he could guess that this should be Qian Duoduo, the Vice Dean of the Martial Soul Department, Xian Lin'er's husband... Bai Zhou had heard Xian Lin'er talk about Qian Duoduo; Xian Lin'er was in charge of the inside, responsible for research, and breaking through to Level 9 Soul Tool Master as soon as possible.

While Qian Duoduo was in charge of the outside, responsible for docking with the external Soul Tool Master Association and the Sun Moon Empire, often on business trips and not at home.

"Little White, this is Qian Duoduo, Vice Dean of the Soul Tool Department, and also my husband." Xian Lin'er introduced Qian Duoduo to Bai Zhou.

Especially when she said "husband," she pinched Bai Zhou's shoulder lightly, the meaning very clear.

It was to signal Bai Zhou not to mess around and not to say things that shouldn't be said.

"Hello, Dean Qian~" Bai Zhou looked at Qian Duoduo, his smile brilliant, without showing any abnormality.

Seeing Bai Zhou so young, Qian Duoduo's eyes instantly lit up, and he asked curiously: "Lin'er, is this the new disciple you took in? Is he really as talented as you say?"

As Qian Duoduo spoke, his body subconsciously leaned toward Xian Lin'er.

After all, he hadn't smelled the scent on Xian Lin'er for a long time.

The reason he often went on business trips was also for Xian Lin'er. Originally, this kind of thing was Xian Lin'er's responsibility, but he took the initiative to take over this most troublesome and tiring work so as not to let Xian Lin'er be overly tired and not to affect Xian Lin'er's cultivation.

Usually, Xian Lin'er wouldn't even let him touch her.

But every time he returned from a business trip, Xian Lin'er would take the initiative to accompany him for dinner, massage him, and take the initiative to care about him!

Just this point alone made Qian Duoduo feel that everything he did was worth it! "Whether he is young and promising, you'll know when the time comes."

Xian Lin'er glanced at Qian Duoduo sideways but subconsciously took a small step back, not letting Qian Duoduo get too close.

Even Xian Lin'er herself didn't realize this.

"Little White, get ready. The assessment content is customized by me and Yan Shaozhe. You need to follow the materials and design blueprints we give you to craft a Level 2 soul tool. Are you ready?"

Xian Lin'er looked at Bai Zhou and asked.

"Hmm, I'm ready." Bai Zhou nodded confidently.

"Hmm, go ahead. All the tools have been prepared for you."

Xian Lin'er was also extremely confident in Bai Zhou and pointed to the metal circular platform in front.

On it were all the tools and materials needed to craft a Level 2 soul tool.

However, Xian Lin'er didn't specify a time. After all, the bet was just to craft a Level 2 soul tool, and Xian Lin'er gave Bai Zhou a Level 2 soul tool he had never crafted before; this difficulty had already exceeded the scope of the original bet.

It was even stricter than the Soul Tool Master Association's assessment.

After all, the Soul Tool Master Association's assessment only required crafting the corresponding level soul tool that one was most proficient in.

Seeing this, Bai Zhou didn't hesitate and walked over, starting to craft in front of the three of them.

Xian Lin'er was extremely confident in Bai Zhou, then turned her head to look at Yan Shaozhe: "It's agreed, as long as Bai Zhou can craft it successfully, you are not allowed to pursue the matter of me snatching the student anymore."

"Rest assured, I will abide by it. If this kid really has such talent, what's the harm in letting him go to you?" Yan Shaozhe smiled lightly.

Although Yan Shaozhe's tone was relaxed, he was still drumming in his heart.

This was a bet between Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, and the stake was to let Bai Zhou go to the Soul Tool Department, and Yan Shaozhe was not allowed to pursue it.

Although Yan Shaozhe didn't quite believe that Bai Zhou could become a Level 2 Soul Tool Master so quickly, looking at Xian Lin'er's confident appearance, he was still a bit guilty.

So he added a condition, which was to let Bai Zhou craft a brand-new Level 2 soul tool that had never appeared on the market, greatly increasing the difficulty of crafting.

Xian Lin'er naturally agreed instantly.

The brand-new Level 2 soul tool blueprint Bai Zhou was crafting now was purchased by Qian Duoduo, the delivery man, from the Sun Moon Empire after traveling thousands of miles.

This blueprint had only been seen by Qian Duoduo so far, and even Xian Lin'er hadn't seen it.

Originally, Yan Shaozhe felt that he would definitely win this time.

But seeing Bai Zhou's relaxed appearance, he was also a bit uncertain in his heart.

"Could it be that this kid is really this awesome?" Yan Shaozhe looked in Bai Zhou's direction and frowned secretly.
