Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Heavenly Master 57

Situ Shuangshuang felt like she was skipping class today, and she was unsure if it would affect her scholarship. In the Ghost Realm Illusion, time seemed to pass very slowly, but in reality, not much time had passed, just the duration of two classes.

If Situ Shuangshuang rushed back now, she might still catch the start of the next class! Once she thought of it, she acted on it. Anyway, the kids were already out, so she didn’t need to keep an eye on them.

As for these kids not having eaten for a whole day and night, to Situ Shuangshuang, it was just one day and night of not eating, which was no big deal at all.

In her past life, when Situ Shuangshuang was young and cultivating, she once didn’t eat, drink, or sleep for three days while catching a fierce ghost, and yet she still fought fiercely with it. A single day of not eating or sleeping, what’s that to her?

So Situ Shuangshuang just coldly told them to head home by themselves and left right away, finding a secluded corner where no one noticed her, attached a Godspeed Talisman and headed straight to the school.

In fact, Han Qiao Yu and the other students really didn’t need Situ Shuangshuang to care for them. All four of them came from wealthy families and had at least a hundred or eighty bucks whenever they went out, and their mobile payment apps had several hundred more. They easily found taxis and went their separate ways, even Li Na, who was still sobbing, got a cab herself and left.

When Situ Shuangshuang returned to school, she just caught the class teacher’s lesson and managed to slip into the classroom right before the class teacher entered.

Since Situ Shuangshuang was known as an excellent student, seeing her in the classroom, the class teacher didn’t ask a single question, not suspecting her of skipping school, allowing Situ Shuangshuang to pass without any issues.

In the evening, when she returned home, Situ Shuangshuang shared with her mentor, Chen Qi, how reckless kids were these days, always going to dangerous places and ignoring adult warnings just to do so!

Although these kids were a bit wild, they knew how to be grateful. The next day, they all bought fruit baskets and followed Han Qiao Yu, who knew where Situ Shuangshuang lived, to thank her.

A fruit basket wasn’t cheap for these young students who hadn’t started earning yet, but Situ Shuangshuang didn’t expect them to compensate her. Accepting a few fruit baskets was nice; she couldn’t often bring herself to buy fruits, instead watching the few fruit trees in the yard every year.

Situ Shuangshuang’s house was quite large, mostly because of the yard, which had a strong country vibe. The moment the group arrived, they sat in the yard, not moving, while Chen Qi, delighted at his treasured student’s rare visit from friends, brought out the high-quality tea that Situ Shuangshuang had gone to the mountains to gather specifically for him, and which he reluctantly enjoyed himself, to treat these kids.

Chen Qi’s generosity made Situ Shuangshuang ache; these tea leaves grew deep in the mountains, with only two tea trees in total. Every year, she went through a lot to bring them back for her mentor, who was now freely using them to entertain a few kids.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Kai Ming realized the value of the tea after drinking it and even discussed with Chen Qi about buying some to give to his elders.

Chen Qi hesitated a bit. Naturally, he was unwilling, as there wasn’t much tea to begin with. It was fine to let a few children have some, but selling it? He couldn’t bear the thought. Yet refusing might affect Situ Shuangshuang’s relationship with these kids.

Chen Qi didn’t give an answer, but from the side, Situ Shuangshuang felt a sudden surge of anger! She hurriedly suppressed it. This time, the anger made no sense, but there was a reason: she couldn’t stand her mentor’s near obsequious treatment of these so-called friends of hers.

Indeed, with her irritable nature, friendships weren’t suitable, so Situ Shuangshuang directly snorted, saying to Xiang Kai Ming, ”Since you realize the quality of this tea, your family surely knows tea, and you must drink it often. This tea isn’t available on the market; I gathered it from the deep mountains. It’s limited every year, and letting you drink it once is already extravagant. My mentor can hardly bring himself to drink it himself, and you want to buy it! How could you! Well, you’ve thanked, you’ve drunk the tea, and besides, saving you was just part of my ghost-catching routine. No need to keep it in mind; you better all leave quickly!”

Situ Shuangshuang’s words were blunt and unkind, but she did it on purpose. She didn’t need friends; the feeling of getting angry at a single remark was too upsetting. It’s better not to get close to people, ideally discouraging Han Qiao Yu from forming a friendship with her!

Kong Xinfan, Xiang Kai Ming, Li Na, and Han Qiao Yu were embarrassed. None of them expected Situ Shuangshuang to turn hostile so suddenly, and they were dumbfounded. Each of them had grown up pampered and couldn’t tolerate Situ Shuangshuang’s attitude, so after her words, they awkwardly stood and left.

Over the next few days, even Han Qiao Yu stopped coming around Situ Shuangshuang, which didn’t bother Situ Shuangshuang at all.

She didn’t think Han Qiao Yu, with so many friends, would stick around her, the ice queen. Han Qiao Yu hardly lacked for friends.

Now Han Qiao Yu was out of the picture as a friend, which suited her; she was busy catching ghosts and cultivating all day, squeezing in time to mentor house nightmares, and taking Little Shun out to do errands. She had no time to make friends, especially with her quick temper. Being a loner was best.

Time swiftly passed, and half the semester was gone, with the weather turning stiflingly hot. Situ Shuangshuang recently felt her cultivation reached a bottleneck. Crossing it would elevate her beyond her past life’s abilities! But failing meant a stagnant routine.

Although reluctant about the scholarship, cultivation was more crucial, so Situ Shuangshuang took an extended leave and returned home to go into closed-door cultivation.

Closed-door cultivation, though the phrase suggests isolation, still required meals but meant dedicating all one’s thoughts to cultivation, free from external distractions, and a need for absolute quiet.

This seclusion lasted three months before Situ Shuangshuang successfully advanced, after which she spent three days focusing solely on cultivation without eating or drinking to break through the barrier, causing her internal Mana to expand seven or eightfold.

Situ Shuangshuang felt that if she encountered the Ghost King who ended her and her mentor Chen Qi’s lives in the past, she could utterly defeat him now!

Upon concluding her seclusion, when Situ Shuangshuang pushed open the door to exit the room, she saw an old man with a worried look, sitting in the yard speaking with her mentor Chen Qi, while the now palm-sized house nightmare was using its small arms to serve tea to the old man.
