Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1913: Chapter 1893:

He Wenyu was sizing up the two of them, ”I have a feeling this is the sprout of forbidden feelings. I’m shipping this teacher-student CP!”

Luo Qianqian: ”Be careful or you’ll get beaten up; keep it low-key, or you’ll miss the show.”

”Oh, right, right, you’re more thoughtful.” He Wenyu quickly lowered his head, watching the two of them with eyes full of excitement.

Old man: ”...” What are these two little girls researching? Why do their eyes give me chills?

Fu Qing didn’t care about any of this; he only cared about whether there was something good to eat.

After eating their fill, Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu were taken away by the old man to pull weeds, water plants, and farm.

Meanwhile, Mo and Fu Qing were leisurely in the small courtyard, enjoying themselves. Mo didn’t forget to bring out some wine, and he and Fu Qing drank under the moon, utterly carefree.

”Actually, there’s something I’ve been curious about for a while now.” Fu Qing looked at Mo, full of interest but unsure how to express it.

Mo slightly raised his eyebrows, clearly indicating Fu Qing to continue talking. He raised his wine cup and took a sip; although the taste was a bit cloying, it was ultimately Luo Qianqian’s ’momentary whim,’ wasn’t it?

”This, Luo Shiqi, you treat her differently, don’t you?” Fu Qing bluntly asked.

Mo nodded his head, then asked, ”So what?” A man unmarried and a woman unattached—what’s wrong with treating her specially?

Although their affairs are impossible for outsiders to know, it doesn’t mean their normal development should be criticized, right?

”Don’t you feel guilty? They seem like ignorant little children...” Fu Qing said uneasily, ”It’s not just Luo Shiliu and Luo Shiqi; even looking at other female cultivators, they’re always so flamboyant...”

Children?

Mo couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head, finally understanding why Fu Qing, despite having no lacking in condition or strength and many opportunities to interact with girls, remained single.

”Some people are just destined to be alone,” he mused silently, then said naturally, ”Being headstrong is also a form of cuteness, don’t you think? If they don’t have a bit of a flaw, how else would we protect them?”

”Their skills are not lacking; they don’t need your protection,” Fu Qing mumbled, ”The important thing is you’re excessively good to Luo Shiqi. We can’t even beg for the elixirs from your brothers, and you casually make them for her, even letting her take baths in them...” Well, fine, but even the rewards distributed for the Heaven Class were given to a child no more than an infant for bathing, that’s outright excessive!

”This kind of thing depends on one’s mood; if I’m in a good mood, I’ll make more, more than enough, not just for bathing, even if it’s for watering flowers, I wouldn’t mind. If I’m in a bad mood, I don’t want to make them. Not even for personal consumption. Even if it’s life-saving, I wouldn’t be willing,” Mo glanced at the wine cup in front of him, with zero inclination to give Fu Qing any face, ”No way, seeing her in a good mood makes me happy.”

Fu Qing: ”...” Now he had a sudden impulse to hit someone, what to do?

”Your family, don’t they usually...” Fu Qing hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Mo looked at Fu Qing, puzzled, ”Why did you suddenly mention this? Luo Shiqi is permitted by our family.” After all... not everyone can bear the title of the ’Heavenly Palace Saintess.’

”Permitted?” Fu Qing was immediately dumbfounded.

”What else do you think, that I would spend my time here playing, wasting both her youth and mine?” Mo chuckled, but in the next second became serious: ”So, what exactly is the issue that’s got you speaking about this random stuff?”

If it was a normal matter, it would be fine, after all, it also concerns Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian can be deemed a member of their family, whether it’s with him or Yan.

”You know Shui Yuntian, right?” Fu Qing smiled wryly, ”Since Luo Shiqi started school, he’s been keeping an eye on her, even often going to the Forget Worries Tea House to buy snacks. Originally, this wasn’t a big deal, since there are few girls at our academy anyway, but just earlier, when I went to find Laoqi, he was watching from afar, so I didn’t go forward to remind them.”

Shui Yuntian?

Mo certainly knew of him.

After all, this person could be considered a... how to say, this person genuinely cannot be assessed aptly.

But ultimately, isn’t he the legendary first person in the Sect Conference after all?

Compared to him, he’s far inferior, and there’s such a huge scandal right in front of Luo Qianqian, forcing her to be wary of this person.

Woon Xin helped the Nine Heavens Pavilion after all, Luo Qianqian wouldn’t prioritize romance over friendship.

Most importantly, in her view, Shui Yuntian is not even ’romantic.’

”No problem,” Mo paused for a moment, then calmly lifted his wine cup: ”With jade and gems before you, who’s willing to be just gravel?” He also curled his lips into a mocking smile, and the disdain flashing in his eyes was especially scornful under the moonlight.

With such excellent people beside her, why would Luo Qianqian even look at those talents?

Fu Qing looked at Mo’s demeanor and sighed, knowing Mo’s abilities, yet since the new students enrolled, this Shui Yuntian had been diligently cultivating.

Nothing overly impressive had happened, yet he was steadily improving, showing no arrogance or behavior that attracts hatred.

”I’ll go check how they’re doing with the watering; you have a few more drinks.” Mo calmly set down his wine cup, picked up the freshly roasted meat, and rose lightly, without the slightest concern for Fu Qing’s feelings.

But looking at Fu Qing’s slightly round belly, it’s clear he didn’t skimp on eating.

Watching Mo’s departing figure, Fu Qing fell into deep thought...

The same cultivators, but do male cultivators need to protect females? Why?

Is it just because they can have children?

He thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out; after all... the female cultivators of his time were much stronger than he was, hardly a role needing protection. Just if she doesn’t bully you, you’re already fortunate.

Though... ultimately, she left their group.

After drinking two cups of wine, he looked up and shouted: ”I want to have kids too!!!”

Heavenly voice overheard: ??? Have you made the wrong plea? Is your request to have children rather than finding a wife? Are you hermaphroditic?

Mo also felt strange on the way; he knew Kuang Xiao was following Luo Qianqian, as he’d seen it several times, and his people had noticed.

That wasn’t surprising, but Shui Yuntian had no reason?

Back during the Sect Conference, the Nine Heavens Pavilion had withdrawn itself, didn’t continue, to prevent teammate loss, that was the wisest choice.
