Chapter 144: Full Moon Meeting (Monthly Ticket +7)

She had used a photo of his childhood sweetheart's back to pose as her own girlfriend and sent it to him;

She had eaten the food he cooked while saying in the group chat that she wanted to beat him up, and he knew everything;

She had taken Xiaoxiao to eat at Kongmeng Building, and after returning, heard him say he had met her; at the time, she had foolishly believed he was telling the truth and had even tried very hard to find out who was spying on her;

She had told Qingqing that there was a pervert at school;

She had gone to stake out the security surveillance room;

……

Countless little details.

The last message was one he sent: Now I've found out your information, and you've found out mine; we're even.

At the time, she had even foolishly sent him a handshake emoji in front of the entire group.

Zhang Suannai's expression was blank, her brain crashed.

In her imagination, her head had even turned into a donkey's head, just like in a cartoon.

Zhang Suannai hurriedly shook her head to shake off this fantasy.

After finally snapping back to reality, the first thought that rose in her heart was—

Ah, I might as well just die!!!

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and soon noticed the anomaly, so she hadn't been easily fooled; otherwise, she feared she would still be being played for a fool by him even now.

A glance from the corner of her eye—

The young couple cuddling beside her had stopped their intimate actions and were silently watching her, looking a bit speechless.

Speechless your mother!

This is a public place, okay! Can't I stay here?

Zhang Suannai simply sat down, took out her Mobile Phone, and opened the Ancient Cultivation Group, looking like she wasn't going anywhere.

The light from the Mobile Phone made her face look snow-white.

Her fingers danced across the screen like flying.

Grandma Always Says: Sorry everyone!

Nameless Person: What's wrong?

Gate of All Wonders: /Sensing something is wrong

Grandma Always Says: The information found earlier was incorrect; Qingcai Keke is not the Imperial Family disciple named Meng Chunqiu, it is someone else.

Grandma Always Says: Very sorry.

Gate of All Wonders: /Stunned

Nameless Person: Didn't you already find it out?

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Interesting.

Haoran Righteousness: /Eating melon seeds

Grandma Always Says: There's been another change.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Amitabha, but didn't Qingcai Caike already admit it?

Grandma Always Says: He was lying to us.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: This…

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: The world below the mountain is truly complicated.

Gate of All Wonders: Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and reveal the true identity of Qingcai Keke, otherwise the Sword Master is going to be struck by lightning.

Grandma Always Says: @Qingcai Keke

Grandma Always Says: Are you there? Come out!

Grandma Always Says: Don't play dead!

Grandma Always Says: Not here?

Grandma Always Says: Then that won't do.

Grandma Always Says: This silly vegetable went to Qingshan Ridge to participate in the Hunting Festival; I even ran into him halfway there. He must have gone very deep by now, and there is no mobile signal near the Forbidden Zone. I have to wait for him to come out and say it, say it right to his face.

Grandma Always Says: There's no point in saying it now.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: Didn't Qingcai Caike say he wasn't going to the Hunting Festival?

Grandma Always Says: That was also a lie to you.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: /Complex expression

Grandma Always Says: Master, don't use that one, use this one.

Grandma Always Says: /Tribulation-Facing Bodhisattva complex expression

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: ……

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: You actually turned our Buddhist Sect's living Buddha into a meme, Amitabha, what a sin, what a sin.

Grandma Always Says: It's not illegal.

Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: ……

Gate of All Wonders: If you're going to say it, say it quickly.

Grandma Always Says: No.

Grandma Always Says: I want to expose him to his face, denounce his crimes in public; I absolutely cannot let him escape this tribulation in this way.

Haoran Righteousness: /Eating melon seeds

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Speechless.

Zhao Yeqing:.

Gate of All Wonders: If you do this, the Sword Master will be struck by lightning.

Grandma Always Says: / Blankly

Gate of All Wonders: Don't you care at all whether the Sword Master gets struck by lightning or not?

Grandma Always Says: That's right.

Grandma Always Says: What's wrong?

Gate of All Wonders:...

At this moment, Zhang Suannai glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the young couple had already left the pavilion; the man even turned his head every three steps to sneak a peek at her figure. After lowering her head to chat for a few more sentences, she also put away her Mobile Phone and left this place.

Half an hour later, she returned to the Dormitory.

Ning Qing's figure could not be found in the living room again; only Xiaoxiao was sitting on the sofa watching television, and Zhang Suannai had long since grown accustomed to this.

The National Spell Competition had ended for Xiaoxiao, and the next semester had not yet started; during this period, she neither had to train nor go to class, carefree and happy, only occasionally needing to complete the study tasks assigned by her sister. Most of the time, she just sat in the living room watching television; it couldn't be more carefree.

Zhang Suannai was envious to death.

Ning Qing was different.

Ning Qing always stayed in the bedroom, looking at those books that were like heavenly scripts.

Zhang Suannai stood beside the sofa, hesitating for a while before walking over—now she felt a bit of trepidation toward anyone related to Qingcai Keke, fearing that these people might also learn of those experiences that made her feel so ashamed.

"Xiaoxiao."

"?"

"Your crispy potatoes and sweet and sour potatoes."

"!"

The little girl immediately took the potatoes from her hands, said thank you with a serious expression, and then began to eat.

Zhang Suannai sat down beside her, watched her eat, and said at the same time:

"I still have some questions."

"Is there food?"

"There is."

"Ask."

"Do you know Qingcai Keke?"

"I don't know."

"Does your sister know?"

"You have to ask my sister."

"Then do you know what your brother-in-law's screen name is?"

"What screen name?"

"Social media screen name."

"It's called 'Little Chen Don't Be a Salted Fish'."

"Are there any other screen names?"

"I don't know."

"Your brother-in-law's surname is Chen?"

"Yes."

Zhang Suannai frowned, suddenly remembering—

Ning Qing's social media nickname seemed to be Chen something.

She hurriedly opened it to take a look:

Chen Zhining.

At the time, Zhang Suannai had thought it was strange.

It was just that they had only just met back then, and Ning Qing was incredibly cold, so she hadn't asked what the nickname meant, assuming Ning Qing's mother's surname was Chen, or that it was some kind of non-mainstream screen name. Later, after setting a nickname, she gradually threw it to the back of her mind.

Zhang Suannai couldn't quite believe it and confirmed:

"Which Chen?"

"The Chen from Chen Shu."

"Who is Chen Shu?"

"He is my brother-in-law."

"Which chen? Which shu?"

"The Chen of Chen Shu, the Shu of Chen Shu."

"Potatoes! Salt and pepper potatoes!"

"..." The little girl glanced at Zhang Suannai strangely. She had already said it like that, yet she still didn't know; she was truly too stupid. But for the sake of the potatoes, she still had to change her method of description, "The Chen with 'ear' and 'east', the Shu with 'shelter' and 'give'."

"... Your mother's surname isn't Chen, right?"

"It isn't."

"..."

Zhang Suannai thought to herself that it was as expected, and for a moment, her expression was somewhat complicated.

The little girl tilted her head to look at her:

"What's wrong?"

"Your sister's social media is called Chen Zhining."

"Oh."

"Did you know?"

"I knew."

"Don't you find it strange?"

"Not strange."

"Why?"

"It was changed by my brother-in-law."

"Oh!!!"

Zhang Suannai finally understood—

Given Ning Qing's personality, she truly didn't care about these things; perhaps after that man changed it once, she was just too lazy to change it back. This wasn't a form of indulgence, but a kind of indifference that transcended the mundane.

"Why are you asking about my brother-in-law?" The little girl chewed on a potato, looking at her vigilantly, "And who is Qingcai Keke?"

"It's your brother-in-law."

"How do you know that?"

"He is my net friend."

"..." The little girl was silent for two seconds, "How do you know my brother-in-law?"

"Don't even mention it! I want to beat him to death!"

"?"

"Why are you looking at me? I really want to beat him to death!"

"!!"

The little girl stared at her blankly, saying nothing. After a few seconds, she stood up, turned off the television, and silently carried the two bags of potatoes back to her room.

Zhang Suannai was completely bewildered.

Then she sighed.

The only good news now was that Xiaoxiao and Qingqing both seemed unaware that she and that person named Chen Shu had met in such a way, and naturally, they didn't know that she had once fought wits and courage with Chen Shu in a group, only to lose to him by being one move behind. In front of them, she wouldn't lose face and could still maintain her positive image as a Personal Disciple of the Sword Sect's Sword Master, talented, clever, and witty.

Hmm, she hadn't asked Qingqing yet.

But Qingqing's personality was even more indifferent than Xiaoxiao's; she wouldn't be interested in such things, nor would she mock anyone—back when school started, Zhang Suannai had tried many methods to make Qingqing smile, but none had succeeded.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay in this Dormitory.

"Emmm..."

Zhang Suannai nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

Inside room number two.

Ning Qing sat very calmly at her desk, holding A Book in her hand, but she wasn't reading; instead, she was quietly pondering something, her eyes unfocused.

The Mobile Phone beside her was silent.

She hadn't received a message from Chen Shu all day today.

This was very rare.

Even when she was practicing the Jingxin Dao in the past, this person would insist on harassing her every day.

She felt a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment.

"Buzz!"

The Mobile Phone screen lit up.

Ning Qing's eyes instantly regained their luster, her gaze shifting upward to glance at the Mobile Phone.

Xiaoxiao: Qingqing, let me borrow your campus card.

Xiaoxiao retracted a message.

Xiaoxiao: Sister, let me borrow your campus card.

Xiaoxiao: I want to go to the library to borrow books.

Ning Qing withdrew her gaze and continued to ponder.

She didn't want to pay attention to her.

The bright moon was positioned exactly in the center outside the window.

On the edge of the Forbidden Land, the moonlight was clear and bright.

Chen Shu stood on the hillside with his eyes closed, receiving the vision from a Spirit Bird.

The Spirit Bird was currently to his left, about one kilometer away, flying at an altitude of approximately five hundred meters, circling clockwise with him as the center.

About five minutes passed.

Chen Shu's eyelids twitched; he saw a small patch of light spots in the forest below. The light was very faint, but brighter than the moonlight reflecting off the stones. At the same time, this nocturnal Spirit Bird was also very sensitive to light in the dark night.

"Thanks."

Chen Shu opened his eyes and said silently in his heart. The time for the imprint was also about to expire, so he simply dispersed the imprint and walked toward that direction.

The mountain road was difficult to travel, and even more so at night.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Shu had already sensed some special Spirit Power fluctuations ahead, slightly different from the surrounding environment. Judging by the direction, he had veered off a little bit.

He adjusted his direction.

Another two minutes later.

Not far away, a small patch of magical plants appeared, clinging to the ground, growing densely, and emitting a faint glow.

It was exactly Full Moon See.
