Chapter 76: Taking Advantage of My Lack of Attention? (6 is better to satisfy)

"The operation of this world has rules. Some of these rules are simple, some are complex, and they are countless in number. Everything in our lives, and indeed the entire universe, is built upon these rules. From common physical phenomena to Spirit Power, to Runes, and even to our thoughts and thinking, all conform to these rules and can be explained by them. Even the Big Bang of the universe was carried out under the impetus of certain rules."

"The development of civilization, the research progress of scholars, and even the cultivation of ancient Cultivators, are nothing more than a process of discovering and utilizing these rules."

"Our use of Runes and Spirit Power is a discovery and utilization of these rules. The ancient Spirit Sect went the furthest along this path, while the Buddhist Sect and the Daoist Sect found some other rules and ways to utilize them. Can you understand now, student?"

"Emmm..."

It felt like nothing had been said at all.

Qingqing also explained the Secret Sect this way, still without mentioning the specific principles and methods within it.

The lean teacher smiled upon seeing this:

"It is complex if I explain it in detail. If you are truly interested, student, you can take the elective course 'Cultivation System Detailed Explanation' in your second year. Or you can audit the professional courses for the 'Cultivation System' major in the second year of our academy. I teach both classes, and I will explain them in more detail. If you want to audit, you can ask me privately on Feixin next semester, and I will send you the class schedule and tell you roughly when these will be covered."

"Thank you, teacher."

This is the benefit of having a prestigious school.

The teacher smiled and added: "However, these are, after all, secrets of the Buddhist Sect and the Daoist Sect. I can only explain them to you simply. To speak in detail, I truly haven't researched to that extent. Perhaps the courses in the Dao Academy and the Buddhist Academy can explain them in more detail, but unfortunately, they are not open to the public."

"I will come."

"What was your name again?"

"Chen Shu."

"Good, good, student Chen Shu, this is my Feixin. Other students who have needs can also add me..."

Chen Shu took out his Mobile Phone to add this teacher's Feixin, then sat up straight and continued to listen to the teacher talk about boring cultivation common sense.

There was no class during the second major block, so he went to find Qingqing for a meal.

He tasted the stir-fry on the second floor of the Lianyan Building; the taste was alright. After the meal, the two walked slowly along the school, walked into the long corridor, and sat in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain.

Qingqing was wearing a long white down jacket today, light gray leggings that made her legs look very thin and long, and snow boots. The outfit was exceptionally youthful. When she sat beside him, she crossed her legs slightly, her calves shapely and with beautiful curves.

Chen Shu peeked quietly.

He was the one who bought this pair of snow boots for her, bought several years ago, specifically to deal with the coldest days in Bai City. They were already a bit old by now.

"Does it look good?"

Qingqing looked into the distance and asked indifferently.

"It looks good."

Chen Shu answered smoothly: "My Qingqing looks good in everything."

"..."

"You say, before this place was turned into a school, when those emperors and concubines in ancient times came here to stroll, would they be like us, sitting in this pavilion to pass the boring afternoon time?"

"This pavilion was built more than a hundred years ago. The previous pavilion was a bit further ahead, but it was blown up by a student who cast a Spell recklessly."

"..."

"..."

Ning Qing glanced at his expression and pursed her lips: "But there are also many student couples who come here to sit."

"Forget it, forget it." Chen Shu waved his hand, "Do you know that Xiaoxiao's results are out? Guess what place she got in the national competition?"

"She told me."

"First place, she's really amazing!"

"I was first too."

"She got a perfect score!"

"I got a perfect score too."

"That's different, you prepared for a year before entering the competition." Chen Shu was quite proud, "She didn't really prepare much and decided to compete at the last minute."

"This competition isn't that hard."

"I don't care! My sister-in-law is just amazing!"

"Then I am amazing too."

"Sigh... it's only been a few days since we parted, and I already miss Xiaoxiao a little."

Chen Shu sighed, his tone feigning weakness, while his upper body leaned toward Qingqing, wanting to rest his face on her thighs.

A hand accurately caught his face, stopping his movement, and pushed his upper body back up:

"You are with me, yet you miss my sister. Aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"

"Why should I be afraid of you being jealous? You won't let me kiss you, you won't let me touch you, and you won't let me hug you. I feel so miserable inside, wanting to rest on your lap to relieve my longing and depression, and you won't even let me rest." Chen Shu became more indignant as he spoke, "You even keep a tab on me just for holding your hand. You're so stingy."

"So that's how it is..."

"You didn't listen at all!"

"Yeah..."

"You're so arrogant!"

Chen Shu didn't care; taking advantage of her lack of attention, he leaned his upper body down and buried his face in her thighs after all.

Qingqing's legs were so soft, and the leggings were so soft and warm too.

He took a breath; it even smelled nice.

Ning Qing lowered her head and stared at him with a calm expression, then pressed a hand on the back of his head, as if to comfort him: "Are you still depressed now?"

"Not depressed anymore."

The voice was muffled.

The heat hit her pants, making it itchy.

Ning Qing had no expression.

No one could do something to a Secret Sect Practitioner without them noticing, just as no one could ambush or plot against a Secret Sect Practitioner.

Unless she simply did not care.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Your Mobile Phone is vibrating."

"Ignore it."

"Hurry up and get up, you're staring at your Mobile Phone and grinning like an idiot."

"I'm not grinning."

"Perhaps it's content you'd be interested in."

"Not interested."

"How would you know if you don't look?"

"I don't care, I don't care, I'm doing exactly what I'm most interested in right now."

"Enough..."

"Not enough."

"Your credit limit has hit rock bottom."

"It hasn't."

"You've been watching too many female internet celebrities online lately, which caused me to lower your credit limit."

"I haven't been watching."

"You've already dragged it out for another minute."

"Didn't drag it out."

"..."

Ning Qing held this person's head with both hands, forcibly lifted him up, and straightened his body; throughout this process, she remained expressionless.

Chen Shu's face was full of smug satisfaction.

As for Xiaoxiao? Ah, not familiar.

Only then did Chen Shu pick up his Mobile Phone.

Anonymous Person: The police station leadership said that considering we are students and put in a lot of effort to find Zhao Haojiang, they can give us the money, but they must first investigate clearly whose handiwork Zhao Haojiang's death was and confirm it has nothing to do with us.

Grandma Always Says: /Like

Qingcai Keke: /Like

Grandma Always Says: Don't you have your own expressions?

Qingcai Keke: I'm just borrowing one.

Qingcai Keke: By the way, Senior Brother Grandma, aren't you supposed to post a photo today to prove you have a girlfriend?

Grandma Always Says:...

Grandma Always Says: My girlfriend isn't very willing.

Grandma Always Says: I'll find a time to sneak a photo later.

Qingcai Keke: You aren't about to go frantically searching for internet pictures, are you? If you really don't want to admit you can't find a girlfriend, Senior Brother, I can privately send you two photos. I just won't show my face; my figure is quite good too, it doesn't matter.

Grandma Always Says: Can't sleep at night.

Qingcai Keke:?

Grandma Always Says: Drank too much tea.

Qingcai Keke:...

Chen Shu put away his Mobile Phone and grinned twice at Qingqing.

Ning Qing ignored him; she didn't care at all that he wouldn't let her see his chat. This was the difference between her and ordinary girls, and also the difference between the two of them and ordinary young men and women who are dating or about to date. Having spent many years together, they had sufficient understanding and trust between them.

Besides, she was a Secret Sect Practitioner.

After a while, Ning Qing stood up and said, "I have class in the afternoon, and you have class too, it's about time to go back."

"Oh."

Chen Shu stood up along with her.

The two walked slowly back along the corridor.

Chen Shu dawdled, looking into the lake as he walked. There were quite a lot of fish. He asked curiously, "Does the Biology Institute of your school raise fish too? Could this lake be the aquatic experimental base for the Biology Institute, where the fish inside are fed by them, and then harvested once a year to give free fish to all the teachers and students in the school?"

"Where did you see that?"

"I thought of it myself."

"I don't know."

"Are you actually from this school?"

"I don't care about that."

"Then you should care more and tell me more about it later." After Chen Shu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was also a student of Ling'an in the group.

"I'm going back to the Dormitory." Ning Qing stopped in her tracks, "You go this way, straight out of the school gate."

"Say goodbye to me."

"Goodbye."

"Good."

Chen Shu turned and left.

Ning Qing stood quietly behind him, and only when his back was no longer visible did she turn and walk toward the Dormitory.

Zhang Suannai felt very helpless.

Having boasted so much, only to be relentlessly pursued by a junior schoolmate—you have to wonder, why is that junior schoolmate so oblivious?

Can't you give someone a way to save face?

You're nothing!

But one has to finish what one has started, even if it's just a bluff.

Originally, she had intended to ask a female classmate for two photos, or perhaps two senior sisters who used to live in this Dormitory but had already graduated and left, but upon reflection, she felt they might not be as pretty as she had boasted; although she would cover their faces, covering the face would put even more demand on the figure.

It wasn't that she couldn't use her own photos, it just felt a bit awkward.

Besides, using her own carried some risk; after all, that little junior sister was at the same school as her, so who knows if they might bump into each other on the road one day? At a rough glance, with the same clothes and pants plus the rare long legs and small waist, what if she recognized her?

Using someone else's was much better.

After all, someone else is fake; even if the little junior sister ran into them and went up to question them, the other person really isn't a group member, so she wouldn't be able to ask anything, and she wouldn't be able to see any flaws from their expression or tone.

After much thought, only her roommate fit the requirements.

Ning Qing's figure was no worse than her own, with a slim waist and long legs, good temperament, and a style of dress she liked; she was perfect to pose as her girlfriend.

Moreover, Ning Qing had a cold personality; even if the little junior sister ran into her and went up to ask, she would realize she had mistaken the person.

Perfect.

However, her roommate had gone out for class early in the morning and hadn't returned since; clearly, she only had a class in the first period of the morning, but now even those in the neighboring Dormitory who had full morning classes and had finished eating were back, yet she still hadn't returned, and she didn't know what she had gone to do; with that cold personality of hers, it didn't seem like she was one to socialize.

Yet that idiot junior sister in the group was urging her urgently.

Zhang Suannai had no choice but to step in herself.

She used a lazy phone holder to fix her Mobile Phone on the coffee table, aiming it at the sofa. Originally, she wanted to use a selfie stick or a tripod, but the two girls in the entire Dormitory couldn't find a single selfie stick or tripod; later, she thought a lazy holder was quite good, so she lay on the sofa herself, pretending to be secretly photographed.

She took several shots in a row, but none were very satisfactory.

Just at this moment, the sound of a door opening came from the entrance.

"Click."

Her roommate pushed the door open and entered; Zhang Suannai hurriedly ran to take down the Mobile Phone, and the timer-set camera captured her flustered expression.

Ning Qing glanced at her indifferently, walked over, and sat on the sofa without saying anything.

Taozi immediately ran over.

Zhang Suannai quietly deleted that photo and looked up to ask:

"Where did you go?"

"Went out."

"What are you carrying?"

"Food for the cat."

"I was still waiting for you to eat."

"Did you eat?"

"I ate."

"Good."

"Why didn't you come back after class? Your cat has been waiting for you at the door the whole time. I saw it was hungry and poured some food for it, but it wouldn't eat."

"Poured it where?"

"On the floor, of course."

"It doesn't eat things off the floor."

"Why?"

"There are no 'whys'."

"Then what will it eat? In case you run out again and don't come back, I can feed it; look at how hungry it is."

"It has its own little bowl, and there are also disposable little plates; either is fine."

"What a weird cat!"

"Mm."

"You're dressed quite nicely today, your legs are so long; I want to buy a pair of leggings to wear too, it's more comfortable to wear leggings in winter..."

As Zhang Suannai spoke, she circled behind Ning Qing, took out her Mobile Phone, turned off the sound, and found an angle—one that couldn't capture her face but could capture her figure—then she poked her head out to peek at Ning Qing, who was focused on feeding the cat—

Ning Qing had no expression and was completely unaware.

I'll just sneak a few photos while she's not paying attention; it won't capture her face, and I won't post them randomly, so it should be fine, right?

Zhang Suannai thought to herself.

Her finger rested on the shutter button, but she couldn't press it.

A look of hesitation appeared on her face.

Finally, she gave up.

"Ning Qing."

"?"

"Can I take a picture of your back? Without capturing your face."

"..."

Ning Qing fed the cat in silence; just when Zhang Suannai thought she would refuse, she heard her indifferent voice:

"You can."

"???"

Zhang Suannai became puzzled instead.

This didn't seem like the personality of the roommate she knew, and she hadn't even asked what she was going to use the photo for before agreeing; wouldn't a normal person ask? What if she were like some unscrupulous big-V, using her back as the female protagonist in a story meant to stir up conflict between men and women?

Zhang Suannai scratched her head; although she was confused, she still happily raised her Mobile Phone.

This way, she had no burden in her heart.

"..."

She took several photos in a row.

Her roommate remained sitting quietly on the sofa, focused on feeding her cat, paying no mind to her actions.

On the contrary, her cat felt something was wrong, looked up at her several times, and tilted its head from time to time, its round eyes flashing with a thoughtful expression; this cat did not seem to be an ordinary cat, perhaps it was a spirit cat.

Zhang Suannai thought to herself while she took the photos.
