Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1733: Chapter 1713:

The other party wiped their mouth, put down the bamboo box in their hand, and took off their hood, revealing a very exquisite face. They said, ”Soul Ascension Pill.”

Upon hearing Kuang Xiao’s words, Ji Lei was immediately dumbfounded.

Ji Lei was naturally aware of what a Soul Ascension Pill was, but the value of that thing was comparable to Kuang Xiao’s status in the family. Even if he managed to obtain it, he might not be able to get it after all?

Moreover... even if he got it, its utility wouldn’t exceed Kuang Xiao’s, because his age was already advanced.

”Is it worth it?” After a long time, Ji Feng asked in a muffled voice, ”Doesn’t that thing also have effects for you?”

Kuang Xiao, however, was completely unconcerned: ”You’re my brother, and as compensation for the Soul Ascension Pill, I have to help take care of someone here.”

”...Not from the family?” Ji Lei was instantly shocked. If not from the family, then who could bring out such a thing?

”If the family had such a thing, do you think with my status I’d possibly know about it?” Kuang Xiao wasn’t at all concerned by Ji Lei’s mocking gaze.

Although he was also quite gifted within the family, they belonged to Xiao Yi’s generation. Although the eldest brother could already marry, the authority still remained with the grandfather’s generation. Even if they delegated power, it wouldn’t be to them, so they didn’t need to think so far ahead.

”That’s true...” Though Kuang Xiao’s status was relatively high, he was still from the younger generation and wasn’t talented enough to challenge the older generation’s authority. He was just exceptionally brilliant within his own generation.

”So I’m not leaving for a while; I’ll stay here with you.” Kuang Xiao said unceremoniously.

Ji Lei: ”...” Would you please leave immediately?

Kuang Xiao was among the most outstanding students in the academy. Almost everyone who had met Kuang Xiao couldn’t help but be captivated by him. Many even offered themselves voluntarily, not only staff but also girls among the students who were normally unreachable were willing to have a romance with him.

Not many people knew about his physical condition, but there were countless people willing to enjoy his company, so he could entirely solve his problems by hiding the facts under willing circumstances. This was allowed by the academy, but he was not permitted to mess with the Heaven Class students.

Of course, among those fascinated by Kuang Xiao, new students weren’t included...

Let’s not mention that among the new students, two hadn’t met him yet, but at least the two who had met him were clearly uninterested...

Yet, he had to take care of these two!

How could it be when these two were almost inseparable from Mengmeng?

”I’ll apply for housing for you, don’t just hang around here...”

”I’ll go out to vent, won’t bring people back.” Kuang Xiao looked innocently at Ji Lei: ”Brother, don’t you want to rest with me anymore?”

Ji Lei: ”...” Of course not! Aren’t you old enough? Naturally unwilling!

Why? You ask why?

Look, with the same father, surely the difference wouldn’t be too huge? Yet Kuang Xiao had a tremendous affinity with women and was talented, making countless people eager to throw themselves at him. But what about Ji Lei? Although some people had openly or covertly expressed interest, he was still a virgin! At his age, compared to Kuang Xiao, the gap was too large and obvious, it was unbearably visible, wasn’t it? It was simply too cruel...

”Moreover, the other party promised me that if Yellow Class of this session could make it through three years, they’d help solve my problem. Sort of a bet.” Kuang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh at Ji Lei’s expression.

”A bet? What’s the wager?” Ji Lei immediately sensed something unusual.

”If they don’t make it, they’ll take away my mutant attribute. If they do make it, they’ll help improve it.” Kuang Xiao was utterly carefree: ”Anyway, it’s good for me, so there’s no real difference.”

”No difference? Are you out of your mind? If your attribute wasn’t mutant, do you think you’d have achieved what you have now?” Ji Lei was at a loss for words, only able to look at Kuang Xiao speechlessly. After all, the promise was made, leaving him fuming inside.

Kuang Xiao simply smiled, giving no explanation.

Much less mentioning that a substantial reason the other party made this bet with him was should be because Ji Lei was the teacher of Yellow Class.

Though it’s just his speculation, in his eyes, there’s nothing particularly valuable about this class worth such attention?

Moreover, the other party’s attention was quite clearly focused on Luo Shiqi, which confused him greatly.

He’d secretly observed her; this little girl was attractive, talented, and had a decent background, but there were others in the academy who seemed far surpassing her, even superior, weren’t there?

After all, in this world, unless the family conditions were extraordinarily favorable, why else would they spend so much effort to nurture their daughter?

But soon he felt he had guessed something.

Since Luo Shiqi had a Water Spirit Body, which was beneficial for cultivation as a Furnace Cauldron, although the only problem was her level was currently too low, not worth being targeted yet?

Even if they wanted to train her, it would seem too early...

Nonetheless, some matters couldn’t be disclosed to Ji Lei, even if he was his brother, and even if Ji Lei had some utility value to them, knowing too much would only bring peace if he remained permanently silent, wouldn’t it?

”Just don’t bother me.” Ji Lei finally conceded.

This was also within Kuang Xiao’s expectation, after all, this was his brother, and the intelligence concerning Yellow Class could only be obtained first-hand from Ji Lei’s side, couldn’t it? He couldn’t possibly monitor this class all the time.

And the lethargy of the Mystery Class was due to his own disruptive actions; everyone who’d experienced it knew how significant the first assessment was.

So, even if he had to covertly use underhanded tactics, he’d still proceed.

Kuang Xiao looked at the bamboo tube, thought for a moment, and said: ”By the way, today’s food tasted a bit different, huh?”

”Just having something to eat is good enough.” Ji Lei rolled his eyes, knowing there were things here he hadn’t even sampled yet, right?

Yet here he was complaining?

Having a brother was truly exhausting... Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have hung out with this brat! It was simply like picking up a burden... Originally thought he was caring for a little brother, protecting the weak, but evidently, the weaker one was him...

Moreover, besides snatching his food, recently there’s been no sense of sibling affection at all...
