62: Chapter 62: A Reversal of Polarity?

"Impressive. Then why did she come here for the test?

Oh right, Chihiro, Huangfu Xinyu, why did they come too? And the counselors, the lecturers... this is just too much!"

"Haven't you noticed?"

"Huh?"

Has this Female Devil changed her nature? Just like Huangfu Xinyu, she likes to keep people in suspense?

Seeing that Lu Qingfeng was a bit displeased, Shen Qianxun continued:

"The older ones are all disciples from our Noble Families who haven't had any special Cancerous Mutations.

For example, Teacher Huangfu, your homeroom teacher, studied education. That includes Zhang Wei, a lecturer at the Information Academy."

"Their future is limited, so they are the ones who want to come to the Guoshu Academy the most. This is also what our Family has in mind."

"As for us, the Family doesn't actually suggest we come here."

"But if only those people came,"

"and we didn't, wouldn't that be too perfunctory? We'd offend Dean Xiao to death!

As for Sister Mingyue... I don't know either."

Lu Qingfeng finally understood. These convoluted Noble Families really had a system!

Making use of the trash who failed their Cancerous Mutations?

Quite a clever calculation.

"Eh... Chihiro, when did you become so smart?"

"Go to hell..."

Shen Qianxun wanted to strike him, but then she realized she probably couldn't win anymore.

She suddenly felt a bit wronged.

When would she ever be able to beat this guy?

Looking at the somewhat depressed Shen Qianxun, Lu Qingfeng found it quite amusing.

Her complexion had returned to normal. Now that he knew the Noble Families' intentions, he felt relieved.

"Come on... I'll treat you to lunch today. Boiled fish!"

After saying that, he pulled Chihiro and ran toward the river.

"Lu Kid, where are you going?"

Xiao Jingdao was looking at the form he had written when he suddenly saw him running off with the girl who had stayed.

"To cultivate my mind!"

"Holy crap... It's good to be young!"

...

By the river, his fishing gear was kept right there.

"Xiao Liuzi, didn't you tell Dean Xiao you were cultivating your mind? What is this?"

"Cultivating the mind... The task he assigned was fishing. I'll catch a fish in a bit and make you some boiled fish."

"See, I'm good to you, right? Don't be too moved. We've been friends for years. Even though you used to bully me a lot, I'm very magnanimous."

After saying that, Lu Qingfeng even patted his chest.

Shen Qianxun: ...

She really wanted to kick this blockhead into the river.

He quickly prepared the bait.

He sat down and cast the line into the water.

But this time, it seemed the fish weren't interested in him.

For a whole hour, the float didn't budge.

He glanced at Shen Qianxun and saw her sitting quietly, staring into the distance, lost in thought.

"Damn it, I've messed up. What's wrong with these fish? Is this Female Devil really my nemesis?"

Another hour passed.

Shen Qianxun suddenly said:

"Xiao Liuzi... can you do this or not? It's noon. Where's the fish?"

"If you're so capable, you do it!"

"Fine, I will!"

Shen Qianxun pushed him aside.

She cast the line; with a nine-meter rod, she only threw it five meters out.

"Pfft..."

Lu Qingfeng started laughing, and Shen Qianxun turned back to glare at him.

Immediately, Lu Qingfeng stopped laughing because the float actually submerged.

"Pull the rod... pull it!"

He quickly reminded her.

"Oh... oh!"

Shen Qianxun pulled the rod hard, and it instantly bent into a great arc.

"I caught one! I caught one!"

She was very excited; it turned out fishing was quite fun.

"Whirr whirr whirr..."

The fishing line whistled as it was pulled tight.

Before long, the fish lost its strength, and Lu Qingfeng quickly scooped it up.

It was a large grass carp weighing over ten catties.

He directly slapped the fish.

"Why are you hitting it?"

"Vile fish!"

Shen Qianxun: ...

"Hahaha... You wouldn't be taking your frustration out on the fish just because you couldn't catch anything, would you?"

Lu Qingfeng didn't bother with her. Carrying the fish, he headed back. He wanted to turn this vile fish into boiled fish immediately.

That'll teach it not to eat his bait.

Shen Qianxun followed, her Face blooming with a smile.

...

Before long, lunch was ready.

Xiao Jingdao seemed to have caught the scent and walked in. Seeing the large bowl of boiled fish, his mouth almost watered.

"Mmm... smells good!"

Just as he was about to go get some rice, he remembered there was a young lady present.

"Ahem... Student Lu, get me a bowl of rice!"

Lu Qingfeng glanced at him and ignored him completely.

Still trying to act tough in front of me? Eating my food and wanting to show off in front of my friend? Not a chance.

Shen Qianxun looked at Lu Qingfeng and then at Xiao Jingdao, just about to get him some rice.

"Old Man Xiao, get it yourself. You'll have to wash the dishes and clean up later too. Chihiro is a guest!"

Lu Qingfeng wasn't going to spoil this old man.

"Cough cough! Kid, can't you give me some Face!"

"Shen Qianxun, my childhood friend, we grew up together."

"Great Master Xiao... the Dean of the Guoshu Academy, but he likes to cultivate his mind!"

Lu Qingfeng gave a symbolic introduction.

"Hello, Dean!"

"Hello... hello!"

Xiao Jingdao naturally remembered her. She was among the top four, with good Aptitude, perseverance, and a pretty, lively appearance.

The pearl of the Shen Family.

Then the three of them began to eat.

After finishing the meal, Lu Qingfeng ushered Chihiro away.

"Chihiro, remember, your dream is to be a great Warship Commander!"

"Hmph... You're just afraid I'll come to the Guoshu Academy!"

"Ahem... I'm afraid of delaying your future!"

Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.

Seeing his cheeky grin, Shen Qianxun kicked him in annoyance and turned to leave.

Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally sent her away.

She had wasted several hours of his time. If she really came here, how would he have time for anything else?

Although she wasn't a Female Devil anymore, she had become quite clingy.

Calling every few days would be quite annoying.

He returned to the courtyard.

His phone rang.

Lu Qingfeng looked at it; the contact name was Abbess Miejue.

Lu Qingfeng wondered what she wanted with him.

He answered. The woman with long straight black hair in the video no longer looked like she used to. She looked at Lu Qingfeng with a smile.

"Teacher Huangfu..."

"I'm no longer a teacher!"

"???"

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's confusion, Huangfu Xinyu said:

"Your class was my internship class, and also my last. I don't plan on being a teacher anymore!"

"Oh..."

If you don't want to do it, then don't. What does that have to do with me?

"Lu Qingfeng, you aren't still blaming me, are you?"

"No... not at all!"

Lu Qingfeng: Yeah, right...

"I called this time because I wanted to ask you, is National Martial Arts really that miraculous?"

Lu Qingfeng was a bit surprised. It seemed Huangfu Xinyu was truly intrigued by National Martial Arts.

"In what way do you mean miraculous?"

"Sharp hearing and keen sight, 100% Mecha Fusion Rate, and even Rebirth from a Drop of Blood to become a true deity... That's what Great Master Xiao said, right?"

Lu Qingfeng nodded. It was something the Great Master Xiao often mentioned.

"To be honest, the first two are currently true, but the path ahead still needs to be explored. I'm not entirely sure of the specifics myself!"

Lu Qingfeng spoke the truth.

"I see. Thank you... Maybe you'll be my Senior Brother in the future..."

Huangfu Xinyu suddenly winked and then hung up the phone.

Lu Qingfeng: ...

I've become Abbess Miejue's Senior Brother?

No, strictly speaking, I should be the master.

I was the one who passed on the Cultivation Technique.

Then... hehehe!

Isn't this a complete reversal of roles...
