Chapter 61

This guy comes on his own and leaves on his own.

He stirred up her frustration and curiosity, then refused to give her the answer.

Is this guy here just to provoke trouble?

Does he want to use me?

Qi Yi glared at Yang Guan’s retreating back.

She’d seen guys like Yang Guan before—hmph, she wouldn’t be fooled again.

About an hour later, the six students led by Liu Shi were brought back by Liu Shi.

As soon as they returned, someone demanded: “Why were you gone so long? Isn’t it just a drop of blood on the Bloodline Test Plate? You’re only six people—why take an entire hour?”

“Liu Shi first took us to the First Classroom. There, she asked again if anyone wanted to take the bloodline test. Turns out even more people there wanted to be tested—eight in total.” Su Yunhu began complaining as soon as he sat back down.

“Eight! You didn’t expect that, did you? The First Classroom alone had eight people with Wu Clan bloodline.” Su Yunhu laughed to himself. “Then Liu Shi took us to the principal’s office, saying all of us had Wu Clan bloodline and wanted to test us. And that’s when the punchline came.”

Our six students all have Wu Clan bloodline—but none of us have awakened it.

Of the eight from the First Classroom, only five actually have Wu Clan bloodline. The other three don’t have it at all.

They just made it up!

The principal burst out laughing.

Liu Shi turned beet red with anger.”

Su Yunhu slapped his thigh and laughed.

“On the way back, Liu Shi dropped us off first, then stormed off with those eight back to the First Classroom.”

“I bet Liu Shi won’t let those guys who lied about having Wu Clan bloodline off easy,” Su Linyuan said with glee.

“They made Liu Shi lose face—and right in front of the principal,” Su Yunhu added.

“It’s hilarious. Why lie about anything else? Why lie about having Wu Clan bloodline? You get tested and it’s obvious—how could you fake that?” Su Linyuan laughed heartily.

All the students agreed with Su Linyuan’s words.

They nodded vigorously.

“They must’ve thought that since you guys with Wu Clan bloodline went to the principal’s office, you’d get some perks. So they risked exposure just to see what you’d get!”

“What if they could sneak through and get the same perks?”

“Besides, as it turned out, they didn’t even do anything wrong. Even if the principal caught them, all they’d get is a good laugh from him,” Yang Guan said, smiling as he sat beside Su Linyuan.

“But what kind of perk could you get from a bloodline test?” Su Linyuan chuckled. “Still, they’ve really pissed off Liu Shi. They’ll suffer for it later.”

Don’t think Liu Shi rarely loses her temper and assume she has no temper at all.

…

On her way home that night, Su Jin was blocked again by Qi Yi.

Su Jin: Who did I offend this time?

“I have something to ask you,” Qi Yi said immediately upon approaching.

“Then come with me,” Su Jin said, leading Qi Yi back to the Third Classroom. She hadn’t walked far from the clan school anyway.

Besides, the Third Classroom hadn’t been fully closed yet.

“What is it? Ask.”

“You’re the one who awakened the Wu Clan bloodline, aren’t you?”

“Who told you that?” Su Jin looked at Qi Yi in confusion.

“Liu Shi said so.”

“Impossible,” Su Jin shot back immediately.

“So it really is you. For you to awaken Wu Clan bloodline… no wonder, no wonder…”

No wonder you left so much legacy for Su Shen.

Future sect prodigies aren’t someone you casually befriend—you need connections with people of real weight!

Seeing the mix of shock and relief on Qi Yi’s face, Su Jin thought this girl must’ve had water in her brain.

“I haven’t awakened Wu Clan bloodline. And don’t go around asking people if they’ve awakened it—you’ll get expelled,” Su Jin warned, then turned to leave.

“I know for sure you’re the one who awakened Wu Clan bloodline. But don’t worry—I’m not an idiot. I won’t tell anyone about you,” Qi Yi said quickly.

Su Jin: I’m more wronged than Dou E.

A black pot is stuck on my head—I can’t shake it off.

“Do as you please.”

When Su Jin got home, she found the house eerily quiet. Too quiet.

Su Jin searched every room for people.

Found no one.

She swept her spiritual sense through the house.

Well, they were all hiding in the back courtyard.

Su Jin put her satchel and basket back in her room, then tiptoed toward the back courtyard.

Before she even reached it, she saw her older brother Su Jian holding Su Hua, and her sister-in-law holding Su Xiaohe, both crouched in the shadow of a building, necks stretched, staring silently.

Su Jin followed their gaze.

Holy hell—Xue Chiluo was directing a group of red ginseng sprouts much taller than itself, making them nod and shake their leaves.

And they were doing it in perfect unison.

Little Xue Chiluo stood right in front of them, leading the whole group personally!

One tiny red ginseng sprout accidentally pulled its roots right out of the soil and plopped onto the ground.

It twisted and wriggled for ages but couldn’t get back up…

The moment it fell, the other red ginseng sprouts froze.

Xue Chiluo instantly burrowed underground and appeared beside the fallen sprout, trying to push it up.

But it was too small—it couldn’t budge a sprout several times its size.

Just as it panicked, unsure what to do, Su Jin ran over and gently replanted the little sprout into the soil.

Seeing Su Jin, both the red ginseng sprouts and Xue Chiluo froze stiff.

Like they’d been caught doing something wrong.

“Don’t take them out to play like this again, okay?” Su Jin tapped Xue Chiluo with her finger.

Xue Chiluo sent a guilty thought: “I won’t dare again.”

Su Jin lightly flicked Xue Chiluo’s largest leaf, then waved to her older brother.

Her brother, equally guilty, came over with Su Hua; her sister-in-law just grabbed Xiaohe and ran off.

Straight-up abandoned husband and child.

Her brother stared after his wife with a wounded look.

“Big brother, come here.”

“Coming, coming.”

Su Jin waited until Su Jian and Su Hua approached before asking: “Big brother, you saw it all, right?”

“What? Xue Chiluo?”

“No—I mean, just now, all one hundred and ninety-nine red ginseng sprouts moved in perfect unison, nodding and shaking their leaves with Xue Chiluo,” Su Jin emphasized.

“What are you getting at, Xiao Jin?” Su Jian asked, puzzled.
