Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Woman, are you trying to seduce me?

Shuangyue’s gaze darted between Sang Nian and Xie Chenzhou, she asked pointedly:

“You seem to be very familiar? You were together all the time during the selection yesterday.”

Sang Nian quickly said: “We’re just ordinary people from the same hometown.”

Shuangyue: “I see.”

Xie Chenzhou quietly looked at Sang Nian.

Sang Nian was prepared, she raised her hand and motioned for him to go to the corner.

He got up.

When they reached a place where there was no one, she quickly instructed:

“From now on, we’ll say we’re from the same hometown to the outside world, and then keep a distance in public.”

Xie Chenzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Hometown?”

Sang Nian lowered her voice:

“I’m afraid people will misunderstand us, and then spread rumors, it would be bad.”

Xie Chenzhou stared at her intently, he suddenly chuckled:

“Got it.”

He strode back to his seat, picked up the book on the table, and sat as far away from Sang Nian as possible.

Sang Nian nodded in relief.

He’s really efficient.

In the original book, Xie Chenzhou was popular in the Xiaoyao sect because of his outstanding appearance.

Sang Yunling, driven by possessiveness, publicly announced their relationship, and rumors spread like wildfire.

Xie Chenzhou was deeply bothered by it, and he hated Sang Yunling even more.

This laid a solid foundation for her being chopped into pieces later.

With the precedent in mind, Sang Nian was determined not to make the same mistake.

Now she took the initiative to bring this up, giving Xie Chenzhou a perfect excuse.

He must be thrilled.

Wouldn’t his favorability increase like crazy?

Ding~ Xie Chenzhou’s favorability -60

Sang Nian: “?”

She almost tripped and fell, she quickly grabbed the wall to steady herself, she was flustered.

Just as Shen Mingchao came in on time, he saw her like this, he quickly cleared his throat, raised his chin, and looked at her through his nose:

“Woman, are you here to welcome this prince? What, do you want to seduce me?”

Sang Nian came to her senses, she slapped him on the back of the hand and sat back down.

Shen Mingchao, who was inexplicably slapped:

He covered his left cheek, angrily sat next to her, and questioned:

“Why did you hit me?”

Sang Nian had no expression: “Because you deserve it.”

Shen Mingchao jumped up and down, he said fiercely:

“A violent girl like you, no one will like you!”

Sang Nian: “None of your business, you’re more nosy than someone living by the sea.”

Shen Mingchao was about to explode, she raised her hand, he immediately covered his right cheek.

Sang Nian, taking advantage of the situation, slapped him on the back of the head.

Shen Mingchao: “…”

Despicable.

After beating up Shen Mingchao, Sang Nian’s bad mood improved a lot.

She decided to forgive Xie Chenzhou for now, she would talk to him about this after class.

Just as she thought this, another system prompt came to her mind.

Ding~ Xie Chenzhou’s favorability -100

Sang Nian, who hadn’t done anything:

“…”

She glared fiercely at the young man by the window, who was frowning coldly.

Talk about what, just kill him.

Kill him within three days!!!

“Dong”

The bell rang, the first class officially began.

Sang Nian suppressed her distracting thoughts and focused on the class.

Soon, a young man in plain clothes walked into the room with a book.

Sang Nian was a little surprised

He was the one she had met at the door.

“I’m Gu Bai, the eldest disciple of the Fourth Elder of the Discipline Hall.”

The young man introduced himself with a stern face:

“The Fourth Elder has left the sect on business, I’ll be taking over the class for a few days.”

His stern and unsmiling appearance made many people feel intimidated.

The disciples nervously bowed to him.

He raised his hand to signal, “Begin the lesson.”

Sang Nian opened the new  Basic Cultivation Theory she received, she glanced roughly at the content.

Cultivation Realm Division

Qi Refining—Foundation Building—Golden Elixir—Nascent Soul—Spirit Transformation—Crossing Tribulation—Ascension

Each stage is further divided into three sub-stages, namely Qi Training Level One, Qi Training  Level Two, Qi Refining…

Sang Nian fell asleep.

Gu Bai glanced at her direction, his brows furrowed tightly, he waved his sleeve.

A cool mint scent spread through the room, it was very refreshing.

Sang Nian didn’t wake up.

He held a book in one hand, he paced back and forth and said:

“Millions of years ago, when the world first opened, the six realms were divided, gods, immortals, humans, demons, ghosts, and devils each ruled a realm.”

“Among them, the human realm has three thousand small worlds, in the upper level of the three thousand worlds closest to the immortal realm, is the Hongmeng Continent where we are, also known as the cultivation world.”

Gu Bai walked to Sang Nian’s table and tapped her table with his finger.

One tap.

Two taps.

Three taps.

Sang Nian sat up in shock.

There were a few chuckles around, Shen Mingchao’s voice was particularly obvious.

She met Gu Bai’s dissatisfied gaze, she knew she was wrong, she lowered her head and apologized sheepishly:

“Sorry, I won’t fall asleep again.”

Gu Bai withdrew his hand and continued the lesson, his voice was like flowing water.

“The Hongmeng Continent is rich in spiritual energy, and immortal sects are everywhere, among them, the top sects are the Three Sects and One Palace.”

“Three Sects and One Palace?” Someone was puzzled.

Gu Bai said:

“Tianyu Mountain’s Xiaoyao sect, Qihuang Valley’s Xuanjian, Penglai Island’s Lingxiao, these are the Three Sects.”

“And what about the One Palace?”

Before Gu Bai could speak, Shuangyue answered excitedly:

“I know, I know, it’s the Shura Palace!”

Sang Nian’s eyes widened in surprise.

Gu Bai’s expression immediately turned serious:

“How dare those villains from the Devil Realm compare themselves to us?”

Shuangyue’s face flushed red, she was completely flustered.

Shen Mingchao folded his arms and shook his head, he said:

“That One Palace is the Longevity Palace.”

“The current top young cultivator, Xiao Zhuochen, is the disciple of the master of the Longevity Palace.”

“And the master of the Longevity Palace is the disciple of the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the relationship is very complicated, it can’t be explained in a few words.”

Someone was confused, “Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance?”

Shen Mingchao glanced at Gu Bai, seeing that he wasn’t angry, but rather slightly approving, he was overjoyed, he proudly continued:

“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance doesn’t belong to any faction, it maintains absolute neutrality, it has a detached position in the Hongmeng Continent.”

“If there are frictions between major sects, it will mediate, if it escalates to the point of life and death, it will immediately express condemnation.”

Sang Nian next to her suddenly realized:

Oh, it’s like the United Nations.

She endured the whole morning, finally she survived this class.

Sang Nian was going to have lunch, she was about to find Xie Chenzhou, but when she turned her head, she found that he was already gone.

She pouted.

This guy is always in a bad mood, it’s so inexplicable.

She packed up her things and slowly walked to the dining hall alone.

Shen Mingchao saw her and mocked:

“Poor thing, you don’t even have anyone to eat with.”

Sang Nian: “Are you talking about yourself?”

This guy’s personality is really terrible, no one in the sect wants to be around him.

They even avoid him when walking, let alone eating.

Shen Mingchao looked at her through his nose again:

“It’s these commoners who are not worthy of eating with me.”

Sang Nian smiled without smiling:

“One, put your nose back in place.”

“Two, if you mention the word commoner again, I’ll hit you every time I see you.”

Shen Mingchao was unconvinced:

“I wasn’t talking about you, why are you hitting me?”

Sang Nian said: “Mutual beating is also acceptable.”

Shen Mingchao hesitated for a moment, he forcefully turned his head:

“This prince is broad-minded, I won’t stoop to your level, you stinky girl.”

He’s pretty cowardly.

Sang Nian disdainfully curled her lips, she gave him the middle finger and quickly walked into the dining hall.

Shen Mingchao stood there, watching her disappear, he was furious:

“We came here together, she didn’t even bother to be polite, she went to eat by herself?”

You terrible guy!!!
