Chapter 112: Classmates’ Friendship
Ning Rui was stunned. Usually, such matters required individuals to draw in spiritual energy and adjust it themselves after awakening their spiritual roots. Not only did Master Qiu not need to do this, even mentors taking personal disciples rarely showed such meticulous care. Was this the difference between the Zhen Yan Sect, hailed as the Master of the World, and other sects?
Logically, lessons about physical differences and foundational Drawing in Spiritual Energy methods shouldn’t be taught this early. Normally, disciples would learn these after receiving spiritual roots from the celestial maiden – without roots, theoretical knowledge remained useless. Yet Zhen Yan Sect flipped the entire process, as if… disciples could instantly boost their cultivation the moment they gained spiritual roots.
Ning Rui found the sect increasingly peculiar, but trusting Master Qiu’s reputation, he stayed silent. He watched the semi-transparent figure inspect each disciple’s physique, listing individual adjustments. His gaze followed Master Qiu until accidentally landing on a striking figure nearby.
While everyone eagerly awaited their turn, the junior sister who’d listened attentively earlier now seemed bored. As Master Qiu floated around, she produced a thick stack of papers and booklets from nowhere, frowning while flipping through pages and scribbling notes.
Ning Rui blinked. Was she… openly slacking off?
(′д｀)
He hesitated to warn her, settling for a loud cough.
She glanced up briefly before diving back into her papers, brows furrowed deeper.
Ning Rui: “…” The Master’s approaching your row!
He watched helplessly as Master Qiu floated past her to check the disciple behind. When the translucent figure reached her desk piled with unrelated papers, he… drifted right past and returned to the podium.
Huh?
(“д”)
Not only was there no scolding, Master Qiu had actually sped up near her – as if avoiding disturbing her distraction.
“…” Is this how female cultivators get treated here?
Before Ning Rui could process this, Master Qiu announced: “Remember your physical variations. Adjust accordingly after gaining spiritual roots.” He waved his hand, blank white papers and brushes materializing on every desk. “To confirm your understanding, transcribe the Drawing in Spiritual Energy method from memory.”
He added, “I’ll fetch basic cultivation technique jade slips for home study. In fifteen minutes, I’ll check your work. Those with errors stay until corrected.” The master floated out, leaving disciples scrambling to write.
The room fell silent except for scratching brushes. Fifteen minutes later, the first finisher instinctively looked toward the classroom’s sole female. You You hadn’t touched her blank paper, still absorbed in her mysterious documents.
Whispers erupted as time dwindled:
“Did junior sister forget the method?”
“Her paper’s completely blank!”
“Look at her troubled expression – she must be stuck!”
“Master will punish wrong answers!”
“Quick, help her!”
“Junior sister, write what I say…”
Amidst hissed prompts, a completed answer sheet plopped onto You You’s paperwork – “Drawing in Spiritual Energy Technique” glaring from the top.
She turned, bewildered, to find Ning Rui swapping her blank sheet with his. He pointed at his new blank page’s corner, mouthing: “Write your name here.”
You You: “…” What sorcery is this?
Others: “…” Why didn’t WE think of that?!
Before she could react, Master Qiu returned with jade plaques. Ning Rui finished his second transcription just in time.
“Pens down!” The master sent plaques flying to each desk. Completed papers soared into his hands – including You You’s borrowed answer.
Master Qiu froze upon seeing the sect master’s submission. His eyes misted at the fully filled page.
How moving! The sect master not only permitted his teaching methods but personally participated! Such validation of his work!
What an exemplary leader!
Meanwhile, You You stared at her pilfered report: “……” Since when did paperwork count as cultivation homework?!
