Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 377: 282. The Magical Species of Taboo Land_3

Qing Chen inwardly marveled that others cultivated to become stronger, while XiaoTongyun aimed for everlasting youth, true to the way girls buy cars, only caring about looks and not the actual performance.

He thought for a moment and said, ”The path Iʼm on may not be suitable for you, it involves a lot of hardship.”

”Iʼm not afraid of hardship,” Li Tongyun muttered, ”Besides, if I can cultivate, I can help you in the future.”

”Thatʼs still a long way off,” Qing Chen smiled.

Qing Yi walked out of the door and the two stopped talking.

To Qing Chenʼs surprise, Qing Yi, who was always well-behaved in front of Li Changqing, came up to Qing Chen and whispered, ”Youʼre doing this on purpose, arenʼt you?”

Qing Chen couldnʼt help but be amused; he hadnʼt expected that forcing a child to attend class could so easily strip away their facade.

He feigned surprise, ”What do you mean, Qing Yi? Donʼt you like going to school? I thought you enjoyed your classes. Otherwise, I could speak to your Aunt Changqing and have you stay at the Feiyun Courtyard.”

Qing Yiʼs expression shifted, then he smiled, ”How could that be? I really like studying.”

Qing Chen patted his watermelon head, ”Thatʼs the spirit. Life is a long journey; you have to keep learning as long as you live. Youʼre young now, but when you grow up, youʼll understand this principle.”

Qing Chen sneered inside; he planned to leave the Feiyun Courtyard after advancing to D-Class.

If he couldnʼt leave for the time being, then neither could Qing Yi wander around as he pleased.

The three of them arrived at Liʼs School, and this time Qing Chenʼs feeling as he entered the Zhi Xin Courtyard was completely different.

Last time he was like a guest, but this time he felt more like the master.

”Hey, why is Li Ke waiting here? Brother Qing Chen, it looks like heʼs specifically waiting for you,” XiaoTongyun said curiously.

Qing Chen looked up and indeed, there was Li Ke, holding a thermally insulated box, waiting outside the main hall.

The young Li Ke was covered in dust, on both his face and clothes, it was unclear how he got so dirty.

Seeing Qing Chen, Li Ke came over, ”Sir, this is for you. I thought you might not be familiar with the schoolʼs rule that teachers and students must prepare their own lunch, so I brought an extra portion for you. Just heat it up at noon and you can eat it.”

Qing Chen was somewhat surprised, ”Why did you bring me food?”

Li Ke replied politely, ”Not just today, Iʼll bring an extra portion for you every day. After youʼre done, just leave the insulated box in the office, and Iʼll take it back to the servants to clean. Also, I came here at six in the morning. The Martial Arts School has been neglected for a long time, full of cobwebs and dust. Iʼve cleaned it for you, so it wonʼt delay your class.”

After speaking, Li Ke went back into the main hall, ready for morning reading.

Qing Chen, holding the thermally insulated lunch box in his hands, pondered the fact that the dust on the otherʼs clothes must be from cleaning the house.

Itʼs just that this young manʼs change in attitude overnight made Qing Chen a bit uncomfortable.

The things Li Ke had done seemed more like what a disciple should do.

It was similar to how Qing Chen had once attended to Uncle Li Dong in the wilderness, making fires and cooking food.

Watching Li Keʼs figure, Qing Yi asked himself if it was necessary to be so nice to Qing Chen?!

Qing Chen turned to him with a smile and said, ”Arenʼt you going to class? XiaoTongyun, arrange a seat for him. Make sure you two donʼt skip any classes.”

Now, Li Tongyun felt a sense of mission; she knew Qing Yi was one of Qing Chenʼs competitors in the Shadow conflict, so she had to help Brother Qing Chen keep an eye on the kid!

Walking into the office, Qing Chen said cheerily to the several instructors inside, ”Good morning everyone.”

A new desk had been added to the corner of the office, where the math instructor Zhou Xingwen sat with a grievance, and everyone instinctively stood up when they saw Qing Chen come in, looking somewhat at a loss.

Although the Mountain Chief had said that he had already notified Li Changqing, and everyone was to consider yesterdayʼs conflict over and done with.

But the problem was, Qing Chen had not yet personally forgiven them or agreed to their leaving the corner.

”Sit, everyone sit,” Qing Chen said with a smile, taking his own seat. Only then did everyone sit down.

For a moment, the Mountain Chief Li Liheng suddenly felt that Qing Chen seemed more like the Mountain Chief...

Just when all the instructors in the office thought that henceforth everyone would live in peace, Qing Chen turned to the math instructor Zhou Xingwen and said, ”Instructor, the first class on Thursday morning is yours, right? Because I have other things to do every afternoon, so Iʼd like to switch with you.”

In principle, combat classes were not cultural classes, so they were all scheduled for the afternoon, but Qing Chen had already made up his mind to visit Dragon Lake every day to see if there was another chance to catch some Dragon Fish.

Therefore, he needed to move his classes to the morning.

Zhou Xingwen looked towards Li Liheng, but Li Liheng, fearful of bringing trouble upon himself, pretended not to see anything.

After a long struggle, Zhou Xingwen finally said, ”Fine, Iʼll switch with you.”

Qing Chen then looked towards the physics instructor Liu Junkui, ”Instructor, your class is on Friday...”

Before he could finish, Liu Junkui decisively said, ”Letʼs swap.”

Qing Chen now had both his weekly classes rescheduled to the first period of the morning.

”Very good,” Qing Chen nodded, ”It seems that we have become a harmonious and united big family. Iʼll go take a look at the teaching grounds of Martial Arts School, you guys carry on.”

He had not walked far from the office before he stopped.

Behind him came the voice of Zhou Xingwen from inside the room, ”Mountain Chief, are you going to deal with this? Is it appropriate to have combat classes first thing in the morning? Are we really okay with turning all the Li Familyʼs offspring into Martial Warriors? Are we living up to the expectations of the old Family Head?”

Li Lihengʼs voice came through, ”Why donʼt you talk to him about it yourself? Whatʼs the point of dragging me into it?”

Zhou Xingwen said with heartfelt pain, ”You are the Mountain Chief, respected and esteemed.”

Zhou Xingwen then looked towards the other instructors, ”You are only okay because he didnʼt shift your classes, but we instructors are united. His behavior now, how is it different from slapping us in the face? Luan Fengfeng, I ask you, if someone slapped you on the street, what would you do?”

Luan Fengfeng thought for a moment, ”I would be very angry.”

Zhou Xingwen paused, then turned to Liu Junkui, ”What about you?”

Liu Junkui thought for a moment, ”I would condemn him on moral grounds!”

”How can you be so spineless!” Zhou Xingwen exclaimed.

Just then, the Mountain Chief suddenly said, ”You probably donʼt know that he beat up more than thirty servants yesterday. If I were you and he slapped me on the street, I should first bend over to pick my head up from the ground...”
