I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 56: Qingmei's Mission

"Ok?"

Hua Junshu was carrying a snakeskin bag and a pair of clips, throwing empty plastic bottles into the bag.

Hearing the familiar voice, she looked up and saw Li Yan in his military training uniform. She paused, then subconsciously shook her head.

"no need."

"It's fine, I'm just killing time anyway."

Hua Junshu glanced at him and saw that his eyes were calm, without pity or compassion, so he knew that he just wanted to help in a normal way.

"Oh well,"

She took out a folded bag and handed it to Li Yan, pursing her lips, "After we sell it, we'll split the money in half."

"Oh? No need, senior. I was just helping out."

Li Yan knew she didn't like owing others anything, so he said:

"If you insist, senior, you can buy me a cup of milk tea."

"it is good."

So the two of them took bags and started picking up empty bottles on the playground, exchanging a few words with each one they came across.

In less than half an hour, the playground was completely cleaned up.

"Senior, are we going to the teaching building?"

"No, I have a competition class this afternoon, and I need to take a lunch break."

Hua Junshu shook her head; making some pocket money through these little things was her pleasure.

But she knew very well that studying was the most important thing at this stage.

Li Yan knew that she had a schedule and usually followed it very disciplinedly.

Hearing her say that, I understood, so I helped her sell the bottle and got a deluxe cup of milk tea in return.

It earns more than selling bottles.

The Grade 11 teaching building.

At the entrance of Class 1, Grade 11, the top science class.

Li Yan stuffed a small bag of snacks into Hua Junshu's hand.

"Studying science subjects is very demanding, so I'm giving these to my senior to fill her stomach when she gets hungry, as a token of my gratitude for the milk tea."

After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Hua Junshu to refuse.

In the afternoon, training continued for another hour.

The heat was unbearable, so the instructors let everyone rest.

The team from Class 1 was near the basketball court, and the team from Class 258 was also resting.

So some people couldn't resist playing basketball.

"Brother Feng, so many people are watching, why don't you join in?" said a short-haired guy who was playing basketball with him.

Qi Yunfeng from Class 2 was a tall, somewhat handsome boy. Seeing that he was being noticed by several nearby classes, he felt a surge of pride.

Hearing his good friend say that, he couldn't resist the urge to perform, since there were quite a few pretty girls in the surrounding groups.

Strive to act first and secure the right to choose a partner on campus!

"Then let's show them what a dunk is!"

Qi Yunfeng spoke very loudly, and first the students in Class Two started to jeer, and then everyone nearby knew about it.

So both boys and girls came closer.

If the performance is good, it's entertaining; if it's bad, it's just for fun.

Seeing everyone around him looking over, Qi Yunfeng tensed up, maintaining his cold demeanor. He dribbled the ball in his hand, struck a few impressive poses, and then suddenly dribbled up the ball, sprinting and accelerating. He arrived under the backboard in an instant, tensed his calves, and exerted force, leaping into the air.

Like a bamboo pole pulled up, suddenly leaping over the basket, the arm is raised and then slammed down.

"boom!"

The basketball slammed into the hoop, and he grabbed the metal frame and swung down.

The entire movement was fluid and graceful, brimming with explosive power.

Qi Yunfeng is also the ruggedly handsome type, tall and thin, which immediately caused many girls to exclaim in surprise.

"I go!"

"So handsome!"

"What's so special about that? I can do it too." Jiang Yingzhu, seeing the ignorant looks on her underlings' faces, gestured with her hand:
"Ball here!"

Jiang Yingzhu is beautiful and has a cheerful personality. Yesterday, she treated everyone to water, and someone immediately offered her a basketball.

Then the group spontaneously rallied their support, even though they didn't think Jiang Yingzhu, a girl, could play basketball.

"Maybe he just wanted to try shooting a basket?"

Qi Yunfeng also noticed this place. When he saw Jiang Yingzhu's appearance, his eyes lit up. She was so beautiful and had a heroic air about her. She was simply the one who captured his heart.

"Perfect! Once she fails, I'll go up and give her some pointers. That way, we'll get it!"

"Brother Yan, look! Isn't that the girl who sat on the front seat of your bicycle yesterday?" Ye Daijia exclaimed.
"What is she going to do?"

Li Yan was already watching, and upon hearing this, he said, "Showing off."

"what?"

"Yan-ge, what if we fail to put on the act and that show-off from Class Two gets close to us?" Yu Bin asked.

"Yes, Brother Yan, Yu Bin is right!"

Li Yan didn't speak, but gestured for them to look at the basketball court. At that moment, Jiang Yingzhu was already dribbling a basketball, moving closer to the hoop to get a feel for it, occasionally twirling it between her fingertips.

His cool demeanor, even before he dunked, had already made many people scream, mostly boys and even more girls!
Actually, girls also like pretty girls.

Especially those that look really cool!

Jiang Yingzhu's gaze swept across the entire room, a slight smirk playing on her lips, revealing a smile that was three parts contempt and seven parts arrogance.

Suddenly lowering his center of gravity, he accelerated in three steps, rushing towards the backboard like an arrow released from a bow.

Upon seeing this, everyone realized what was happening and involuntarily held their breath.

Her incredibly fast figure suddenly soared into the air, like a leaping antelope, graceful yet swift.

She pulled her legs up in mid-air, easily surpassing the height of the basketball hoop!
Then, in that instant, he suddenly turned to the side, drawing a smooth arc with his right hand holding the ball, but just as he was about to dunk, he switched it to his left hand!
"Bang!"

The basketball was slammed into the hoop by the left hand, causing the backboard to tremble.

Her nimble figure seized the opportunity to grab the basket with one hand and swing it halfway around.

Her hair flew as she landed, a gentle breeze blowing, making her look dashing and heroic.

"The Sports Commission is awesome!"

"Wow—!!"

"Wow! Girl, you're so cool!"

After a moment of silence, gasps erupted from the sidelines. Several girls dropped their water bottles on the ground with a thud, and the students in Class 8 were like boiling water!

Qi Yunfeng stood frozen in place. His dunk seemed like a clumsy slow-motion replay in the face of Jiang Yingzhu's mid-air hand switch.

He felt ashamed and ran away as soon as he heard people pointing and whispering about him.

"Brother Yan, your girlfriend is amazing! Damn, I feel like she could jump over my head!" Ye Daijia said.

"Yeah, that girl is so cool!" Hu Die chimed in, a little envious.

“She’s not my girlfriend,” Li Yan corrected. “Why are you even dating if you’re not studying in high school?”

Everyone said they were fooled by his act, and then a few of the more familiar people took out the video of Li Yan's "three-person party".

They indicated they had evidence.

"Ahem, they are just my sisters."

"My sister says purple has a lot of charm?" Hu Die asked.

Li Yan remained silent because he saw a new side quest appear on the system panel—

During the sect's intensive training, you reunite with your childhood friend from the same village. He displays exceptional talent, attracting widespread attention from the sect's disciples. As his former friend, how can you remain unknown? Showcase your talent and win your friend's approval and the attention of the sect's members.

[Reward: "Introduction to Basic Talisman Making"]

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, looked at the basketball court, and became interested.

He stood up and walked towards the basketball court, and the people around him who had been discussing him and Jiang Yingzhu immediately turned to look.

"Yan-ge, what are you doing? Are you going to confess your feelings?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Mengqian, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly felt a lump in her throat and turned her gaze to Li Yan, staring intently at him.

"I said we wouldn't talk about high school anymore, but I'll give our class some honor. How can we let Class 2 and Class 8 have all the glory?"

Upon hearing this, class monitor Ye Hui nodded slightly and took the lead in cheering, and everyone followed suit.

The students who thought the excitement was over immediately stopped when they saw someone else coming to challenge them.

Some girls even looked on with shining eyes!

That girl was just pretending to be handsome, but this guy is genuinely handsome!

Li Yan had already stepped onto the court and casually waved to Jiang Yingzhu.

Jiang Yingzhu raised an eyebrow, flicked her wrist, and the basketball flew over, only to be caught steadily by Li Yan.

He dribbled the basketball, practicing his movements to get a feel for it. His movements were graceful and unrestrained, possessing an indescribable Chinese aesthetic.

The commotion on the sidelines gradually subsided, and everyone held their breath in concentration.

Suddenly, he lowered his shoulders and started moving, the muscles under his camouflage military training uniform tensed up abruptly, and he charged toward the backboard like a cheetah, as fast as lightning!

Li Yan suddenly leaped up from three meters away from the basket, his body twisting and soaring into the sky like a swift.

At the peak of his ascent, Li Yan spun in mid-air, using his waist as a pivot, the basketball tracing a full arc with his body. When he reached 270 degrees…

His right arm, holding the ball, was fully drawn up, and at the moment of completing the final ninety-degree rotation, he used centrifugal force to slam the ball hard into the basket!
"boom!"

"Amidst the muffled thud of the basketball hoop vibrating violently, he completed a spinning dunk, landing simultaneously with the basketball, the sound of the ball hitting the concrete floor echoing crisply."

The entire playground froze for two seconds before exploding with an even more intense roar than before!
"Giao! A 360° spin dunk!"

Several boys in Class One threw their military training caps into the air, shouting and yelling like monkeys.

Many girls screamed, while the general public felt a sense of pride.

Mei Mengqian stared at Li Yan on the basketball court with shining eyes, recalling the abs that were revealed when his shirt fluttered as he landed.

She couldn't help but blush a little, and when she heard the girls in her class talking about it, she pouted again.

He took the water he wanted to take and put it back into his own pocket.

Jiang Yingzhu stood under the backboard with her arms crossed, a smile playing on her lips, and gave a thumbs-up.

He turned back, his face full of praise.

Li Yan smiled faintly; it was just a task for his childhood sweetheart.

He glanced at the system panel to check the rewards.
