Chapter 116: The Unruly Mob is All Here to Rebel Against Me!

~15 min read 2,848 words

Ling'an Academy.

The little girl finished tidying up her room and walked out holding a water cup—her room's balcony connected to the living room, but if one didn't go through the balcony, opening the bedroom door led straight to the hallway of the Dormitory, and walking further in led to the living room and dining area.

The living room light was on.

The television was on, too.

It was even mixed with the crunching sound of potato chips being chewed.

Her sister's strange roommate was watching TV...

The little girl held her water cup, hesitated at the doorway for two seconds, and then decided to continue toward the living room to get water.

After all, drinking water was the most important thing.

Walking into the living room and taking a quiet peek, her sister's strange roommate was watching a cartoon—she had her long legs propped up on the coffee table, really quite long, and a bag of potato chips was resting on her two thighs pressed tightly together; on the coffee table sat several teacups and a teapot.

That teapot...

The little girl felt somewhat dazed.

At this moment, her sister's strange roommate turned her head, smiled at her, and asked enthusiastically: "Finished tidying up your room?"

The little girl stared blankly at her teapot:

"Mm..."

"Xiaoxiao is so diligent!"

"Mm..."

"Really, your sister didn't even help you tidy up; I don't know how she manages being a sister."

"That's right."

Only then did the little girl nod.

Since you are badmouthing my sister, then we are friends.

"Want some potato chips?"

"I have my own."

"Don't be polite, mine are delicious."

"Not eating."

"Then what do you want to watch on TV?"

"Not watching."

"Alright then."

At this moment, Zhang Suannai followed the little girl's gaze, saw the teapot she had placed on the coffee table, and seeing the little girl holding a cup, she suddenly understood: "Oh, you're out to get water, right? Come, come, come, I've brewed some tea here! Top-quality Wisdom Tea!"

"Drink some tea, drink some tea!"

Zhang Suannai put down her legs and gestured very enthusiastically.

The little girl couldn't help but walk over and watched as her sister's roommate pulled her cup over, placed it on the coffee table, and then reached for the teapot—she lifted the handle on the back of the child-head-shaped pot, aimed the long nose at her water cup, and two pale yellow streams of water flowed down from beneath the nose.

The little girl was stunned.

It was even more disgusting than she had imagined...

Before she could react, a cup of steaming hot tea was shoved back into her hand, and her sister's roommate was looking at her with an expectant expression:

"Taste it!"

"..."

"Hurry and taste it! It's top-quality Wisdom Tea! It used to be tribute tea, and now it costs several thousand per tael, don't waste it!" Zhang Suannai said, "I specifically asked for it from one of my grand-nephews yesterday!"

"..."

The little girl lowered her head, looked at the cup of water, and then looked up at the teapot on the table.

Then she looked at Zhang Suannai's face full of expectation.

"..."

She brought the water cup to her lips and took a small sip.

The bitterness was very faint, and the sweet aftertaste was distinct.

The taste was actually quite good.

It was just that it felt weird...

"How is it?"

"Mm."

"Good, right?"

"Mm."

The little girl thought for a moment and said to her: "Leave some for my sister too, my sister likes to drink tea."

"Is that so?"

"Mm."

"I've never seen her drink it!"

"She loves it."

"No problem."

Zhang Suannai only felt that Xiaoxiao was truly a good girl; her sister wasn't good to her at all, neither helping her with her luggage nor helping her tidy her room, yet the little girl still thought of her sister when she had something good. Comparing the two, it made Ning Qing seem all the more unreasonable.

Zhang Suannai decided to have a word with her later.

"When will your sister be back?"

"Soon."

"Sigh, I don't even know what the point of that class is; every semester they teach the same thing. If it were me, I wouldn't go! Let's see what he could do to me!"

"..."

"When do you start training?"

"Next week."

"Next week? Then don't you have nothing to do tomorrow? How about Grandma takes you around the campus?"

"..."

The little girl lowered her head, secretly glancing at her.

She felt this person was very enthusiastic.

The little girl habitually picked up her cup again and took a sip of tea. Only after finishing did she realize what she had done. Her face remained expressionless, but she felt very awkward inside. She continued to glance at the teapot on the coffee table and asked in a low voice:

"Where did this come from?"

"What?"

"The teapot."

"This thing!" Zhang Suannai couldn't help but throw her head back and laugh. "Haha, didn't your sister take you to Xinzheng Temple yesterday? Actually, I was planning to go too! If she hadn't taken you, I definitely would have taken her today, or if she had told me in advance, I would have gone with you two yesterday. It's a pity that by the time I knew, you were already on the car home. No choice, I had to go by myself today... Then there's an ancient town at the foot of the mountain called Wangxi Ancient Town. Did you go?"

"..."

The little girl looked at her in silence.

This person talked too much.

When Zhang Suannai raised her eyebrows and sent a questioning look of urging, she replied in a low voice:

"We went."

"There's a street of antiques and curios inside. Did you go there?"

"..."

"?"

"Thank you, Sister Suannai, I don't want to know anymore." The little girl carried her water cup and walked toward the room.

"Hey, hey! Don't go! I'm about to finish! I'm about to finish!" Zhang Suannai hurriedly grabbed her, feeling a bit puzzled for a moment. This little girl looked so well-behaved and cute, but why was she the same as her sister?

"?"

"I picked it up at that street of antiques and curios in Wangxi Ancient Town!" Zhang Suannai was afraid the little girl would run away again, so she hurriedly said, "Haha! I took a fancy to this water pot the moment I saw it while browsing. How is it? Isn't it very interesting?"

"Mm..."

"It was used by an Emperor of the Yu Dynasty!" Zhang Suannai said. "The shopkeeper asked for eight million, but I only spent fifty thousand to buy it!"

"..."

The little girl looked at her in silence.

Just then, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

The little girl turned her head to look at the door. When she saw her sister open the door and come in, she immediately backed up until her back hit the wall, brought the rim of the cup to her lips, submerged her upper lip into the warm tea without drinking, and stood there motionless with her back against the wall.

The sister walked into the living room.

Zhang Suannai immediately greeted her excitedly: "Ning Qing, you're back? Come drink some tea! I brewed some top-tier Wisdom Tea! And look at this Yu Dynasty tea set I picked up for a bargain at Wangxi Ancient Town this afternoon! It's so interesting!"

Ning Qing glanced casually at the coffee table—

"?"

After a few seconds of silence, Ning Qing turned her head and looked at the little girl with an expressionless face.

The little girl also looked at her.

The sisters stared at each other in silence.

Zhang Suannai was sulking.

That idiot roommate, she had specifically saved the tea for her, but she would rather drink plain water than drink her tea; it was truly infuriating!

Good intentions treated like a donkey's liver and lungs!

She even said her Wisdom Tea was "idiot tea"!?

It made her so mad!

*Cough! Ptooey! *

Zhang Suannai drank her tea to herself, admiring the water pouring from the teapot, and the anger in her belly finally slowly dissipated.

Good tea must be paired with a good pot.

Wisdom Tea is a tribute tea from ancient times; it is only worthy of being paired with the teapot used by the Grand Ancestor Emperor of the Yu Dynasty!

Come to think of it, that Grand Ancestor Emperor had pretty good taste.

Zhang Suannai secretly gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

Although she didn't know him at all, nor did she know which years the Yu Dynasty spanned.

"Buzz buzz."

The Mobile Phone vibrated.

Zhang Suannai hurriedly opened it; it was a message sent in the Ancient Cultivation Group.

Qingcai Keke: School has started!

Qingcai Keke: Happy new semester, everyone!

Qingcai Keke: /Scattering flowers scattering flowers

Anonymous Person: Happy to you too!

Haoran: Happy.

Qingcai Keke: Do you guys have a class meeting tonight?

Anonymous Person: We have intensive training.

Gate of All Wonders: None.

Qingcai Keke: I heard the schools in University City are holding a Martial Body meet this semester? Did you guys mention it?

Anonymous: Mentioned it!

Anonymous: It was held last year too!

Zhang Suannai began to type—

Grandma Always Says: Isn't it held every second semester of the year?

Grandma Always Says: In odd-numbered years, it's organized by college, where each college holds its own and competes within itself; in even-numbered years, it's organized by school, where all colleges compete together.

Qingcai Keke: I'm not a sophomore.

Green Vegetable Keke: I only found out tonight after finishing my class meeting at Mingzhi Building.

Zhang Suannai raised an eyebrow.

She noticed the three characters "Mingzhi Building".

Ling'an Academy is a bit different from other schools; in other schools, a class meeting is usually held in the teaching building that the college frequently uses, whereas in Ling'an Academy, most colleges habitually choose to hold their class meetings at Mingzhi Building.

For instance, Ning Qing just returned from Mingzhi Building.

Zhang Suannai was also at Mingzhi Building, but she didn't go.

This little junior sister is indeed from Ling'an Academy.

Come to think of it, not everyone is as clever as herself; such a detailed maneuver as misreporting one's school is something only she could think of.

"Slap!"

Zhang Suannai patted her head, filled with regret—

If she had gone to the class meeting too, perhaps there would have been a certain probability of them running into each other.

Although, judging by the current situation, this silly junior sister has likely already grasped all her information and could recognize her. But she also knows the characteristics of her figure and build; such a good body proportion is rare. Relying on her keen Spiritual Sense, there is still a significant possibility of recognizing her. Especially when this silly junior sister discovers her, her eyes will definitely change, and her own Spiritual Sense might be able to capture this change.

Why didn't I go!?

Qingcai Keke: I heard that in the Martial Arts Academy Group's Arena Competition, the last few schools will compete together. Are you seniors participating?

Qingcai Keke: I'm so looking forward to when everyone meets.

Grandma Always Says: Looking forward to what, my foot.

Grandma Always Says: If you run into me, I'll beat you until your head is covered in bumps!

Qingcai Keke: We probably won't run into each other; I'm still a freshman. I only enrolled last semester and just opened my Spirit Sea, so I definitely can't beat you guys. Besides, I'm not a student of the Martial Academy, so I can't participate. But maybe I can watch you guys compete; I'm still quite looking forward to it.

Qingcai Keke: I'll definitely recognize everyone then.

Grandma Always Says: You don't have to be a student of the Martial Academy to participate. As long as you get a result in the Regular Group, you can go participate in the preliminary round of the Martial Arts Academy Group. If you perform well, you can go to the Military Academy to participate in the finals.

Grandma Always Says: Didn't your class assistant tell you?

Qingcai Keke: No, eh.

Grandma Always Says: What's your class assistant's name? That's too irresponsible, report him!!

Qingcai Keke: Isn't that bad?

Grandma Always Says: Don't be a coward!

Grandma Always Says: When I was a freshman, I reported two class assistants. One of those assistants was so arrogant, always thinking we had to flatter him, and the other was always molesting the young girls in our class. One report and they were done for, directly fired. Now this class assistant plays games with me every day, terrified of losing his job.

Grandma Always Says: /smug

Qingcai Keke:...

Qingcai Keke: Are there any other group members participating?

Anonymous: I'm not participating.

Qingcai Keke: Why?

Anonymous: It's inconvenient.

Anonymous: And if I were to participate, this competition would have no suspense.

Grandma Always Says: /thumbs up

Grandma Always Says: What a great act of showing off!

Anonymous:...

Grandma Always Says: /fatherly strike

Anonymous:...

Qingcai Keke: Why is Senior Grandma so hot-tempered today!

Anonymous: Don't know.

Grandma Always Says: I just can't stand people showing off.

Qingcai Keke: This group of ours seems to be the University City group, right? Should the most outstanding ancient cultivation students from every school be in the group? How come I don't see other seniors popping up?

Grandma Always Says: Does that even need thinking? They're scared, obviously.

Grandma Always Says: They aren't sure if I'll participate, and they're afraid they can't beat me, so they don't dare to pop up.

Dean of the Mental Hospital: Hello.

Grandma Always Says:??

Grandma Always Says: Little Daoist, you've been very lively lately!?

Dean of the Mental Hospital:?

Grandma Always Says: Remember to change your avatar next time.

Dean of the Mental Hospital: I thought that with your intelligence, you wouldn't notice such details.

Grandma Always Says: /fatherly strike

Grandma Always Says: Change it back quickly!

Gate of All Wonders:...

Grandma Always Says: /Nothing at all

Gate of All Wonders: I won't hold it against you.

Gate of All Wonders: I'm holding it against this person.

Gate of All Wonders: @Qingcai Keke

Gate of All Wonders: It's a new semester again, any investigation results? Hurry up and tell the shareholders.

Grandma Always Says:??

Grandma Always Says: Seriously.

Grandma Always Says: You, this silly Qingcai Keke, and this dog of a group owner, it's a real pity you didn't join the Sword Sect.

Qingcai Keke:??

Qingcai Keke: What does that have to do with me?

Grandma Always Says: /Frenzied whipping

Qingcai Keke: Alright.

Qingcai Keke: /Smile

Qingcai Keke: I was just hesitating whether to say it or not, but now my mind is made up!

Gate of All Wonders: Hurry up and say it, stop padding the word count.

Qingcai Keke: /Rolling eyes

Qingcai Keke: To tell you the truth, I really do have it. I found some very important and detailed information, but to investigate this, I spent all my New Year's money. If everyone sends me a big red envelope, I'll tell you all.

Qingcai Keke: This time it's guaranteed to be bombshell information.

Qingcai Keke: The kind that will make your jaws drop.

Grandma Always Says: /Complex expression

Haoran Zhengqi: 【Exclusive Red Envelope】

Nameless Person: 【Exclusive Red Envelope】

Gate of All Wonders: 【Exclusive Red Envelope】

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: 【Exclusive Red Envelope】

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: 【Exclusive Red Envelope】

Grandma Always Says: /Cannot bear to look

Grandma Always Says: How much more money are you all going to let her swindle before you wake up? Damn it, I might as well expose myself; you'll see my heroic posture at the Martial Body meet anyway.

However, absolutely no one paid her any mind.

Qingcai Keke: Master, you are still the stingiest one.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, this poor monk has always lived a life of asceticism and has no source of income.

Qingcai Keke: Fine, fine.

Green Vegetable Keke invited Haoran Zhengqi, Nameless Person, Gate of All Wonders, Green Lamp Ancient Buddha, and Just Call Me Luo Huaian to a private chat.

"Bang!"

Zhang Suannai slammed her Mobile Phone onto the sofa.

So infuriating!

But just a few seconds later, she picked up the Mobile Phone again and began typing helplessly.

Grandma Always Says: /Numb

Grandma Always Says: Let me tell you all!

Grandma Always Says: Every single one of you, I've remembered you all. Don't let me run into you at the Martial Body meet, or I'll beat you until even your mothers wouldn't recognize you!

Grandma Always Says: And this Qingcai Keke too!

Grandma Always Says: I'll find your personal information within three days, and then I'll expose you too!

Grandma Always Says: /Gritting teeth

Zhaoye Qing: Is anyone paying attention to you?

"Bang!"

Why is the whole group working against me?

Zhang Suannai was so angry her teeth itched!
