Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 123 Humiliation

It was evening.

Bathed in the setting sun, Luo Qingfeng limped out of the North Courtyard.

Along the way, it attracted a lot of attention.

"Our North Campus is so much better; they even recruited disabled people."

Some disciples were whispering among themselves.

Luo Qingfeng ignored her and, upon reaching the gate, Nightingale looked at him with surprise: "What's wrong? Why are you limping?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare tell the truth: "I was injured during cultivation."

"Did you spar with someone? How serious was it?"

The nightingale asked with concern.

Luo Qingfeng said, "I was injured while cultivating. It's nothing serious, just a little sore in my foot. It will be fine tomorrow."

After saying that, she added, "Sister Nightingale, I won't go tonight. It's not very convenient for me to walk, and I still need to cultivate tonight."

The nightingale's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Luo Qingfeng pulled her to a secluded corner and asked, "How are things? Have Yuan Tong and the others given you any more trouble?"

Nightingale shook her head: "Not yet."

Luo Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then said, "They definitely won't let this go easily, so we need to be careful. Have you accepted the new mission?"

The nightingale said, "I went to look today, but there weren't any suitable ones. They were either too far away or too difficult to find. Let's go again tomorrow."

Luo Qingfeng said, "No rush. For the last mission, we must find the safest one."

Nightingale nodded, looking at him and asking, "You really aren't going tonight?"

Before Luo Qingfeng could answer, she let out a soft hum: "Is it because I got my period?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Of course not."

He hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm about to advance in my cultivation level again, so I want to focus on training for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Nightingale's eyes widened in disbelief: "You're advancing again? Didn't you just advance last night?"

Luo Qingfeng sighed, "I don't know how I became so outstanding."

The nightingale did not laugh; she still looked at him in disbelief.

He paused for a moment, stunned.

She spoke with a complicated tone, "If Teacher Cao and Deacon Shangguan found out, they'd probably regret it terribly. By the way, have you signed up for the new disciple competition?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Not yet, I'm still hesitating about whether to participate."

Nightingale looked at him and said, "If you advance to the Seven Stars of the Heavenly Realm, you will definitely get a good ranking. Not only will the rewards be generous, but you will also be valued by the academy. You might even be promoted directly to the high-level team."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then whispered, "Sister Nightingale, don't tell anyone about my advancement yet."

Nightingale's expression shifted slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I'm not going to do anything, I just want to cultivate discreetly for now."

Nightingale gave him another deep look and said, "I didn't tell anyone. Teacher Cao asked me about you today, but I didn't say anything. She also asked if I was with you, and I told her you had another woman in the North Campus."

Luo Qingfeng was speechless: "Why are you slandering me?"

Nightingale said, "Is this a frame-up? I don't think so. Every time I see you, you smell of a woman, is it that Senior Bai's scent?"

Are all women supposed to have a dog's nose?

Luo Qingfeng inwardly complained, but put on an innocent face: "Isn't I just helping her out?"

He then added, "After all, I still need her to help you transfer to another hospital."

The nightingale fell silent.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her expression and didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly changed the subject and started talking about the new disciples' competition.

After chatting for a while, he looked at the sky and said, "Alright, Sister Nightingale, go back now. A-Ya and Grandma are still waiting for you. I need to go back to cultivate too."

The nightingale nodded silently.

Luo Qingfeng turned around and limped into the North Courtyard.

Nightingale stood at the door, watching his retreating figure with a complex expression. After his figure disappeared around the corner, she lingered there for a while before leaving somewhat dejectedly in the twilight.

Luo Qingfeng returned to the library.

As he entered, Granny Ning opened her eyes, glanced at him, and sneered with a hint of schadenfreude, "You'd better be careful next time, don't break your leg again. If you break your leg again, an old woman like me will laugh my head off."

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to say a word and quickly went upstairs.

I went back upstairs, entered my room, locked the door, and sat down by the window.

With a thought, data appeared in his mind.

[Process: Zero]

[Sixth-Star Realm of Heavenly Creation, Progress: Ninety-Seven]

Three points to go!

He closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

The setting sun outside the window quickly disappeared behind the mountains.

The entire library was completely silent.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he woke up from his meditation and looked out the window.

It was already late at night.

The moon rose to its zenith, its light cold and dim.

Outside the window, the north wind howled, and the temperature seemed to have dropped even further.

Luo Qingfeng felt warm and comfortable all over. After sitting for a while, just as he was about to continue cultivating, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "If you want to cultivate, you can go to the top floor. There are formations set up there, and you will cultivate faster than here."

Luo Qingfeng quickly got up and went to open the door.

A noble beauty dressed in a plain white dress stood quietly not far from the door. After seeing him come out, she turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then prepared to close the door.

She paused, then turned to look at him: "Aren't you going up?"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "This junior will cultivate here."

The top floor should be the ninth floor, which is probably where this mysterious woman cultivates.

There are some bargains you should absolutely not take advantage of.

Bai Ruofei looked at him quietly for a while, then asked, "I stepped on you today, are you angry?"

Luo Qingfeng replied, "This junior wouldn't dare."

"Is it that you dare not, or that you don't?"

"no."

"snort."

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more.

A few more moments passed.

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "Go upstairs and help me refine the medicine."

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: Perfect timing, I need to learn alchemy so I can make some poisons for self-defense.

Without further hesitation, he immediately agreed, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

Bai Ruofei stood on the stairs, looking at him, and said, "You advanced?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

Bai Ruofei stared at his handsome face for a while, then said, "I heard you wanted to enter the Southern Academy, but were rejected?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Yes."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him again, then walked up the stairs and said, "I asked my mother-in-law to register you."

"Sign up?"

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback upon hearing this.

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "A competition for new disciples."

Luo Qingfeng frowned slightly: "However, I haven't decided whether to participate yet."

Bai Ruofei turned to look at him and said, "Don't you want to be famous?"

Luo Qingfeng shook his head: "I don't want to."

Bai Ruofei continued upstairs: "After becoming famous, one can have more cultivation resources, and receive envy and respect from others. Of course, one can also have more mating rights."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I'm not an animal."

Bai Ruofei said, "Humans and animals are the same; the strong are respected. Only the strong have more choices and can survive better."

"But I want to grow stronger quietly."

"That will be slower because you will have fewer cultivation resources and fewer opportunities than those who are famous."

At this point, she stopped and turned to look at him, saying, "Of course, if you listen to me, I will also provide you with some cultivation resources and opportunities."

Luo Qingfeng met her gaze: "This junior has already listened to your advice, senior."

Bai Ruofei snorted and continued upstairs.

When she reached the fifth floor, she stopped, preparing to bend down and take off her shoes. But then she paused, suddenly turned around, and looked down at him, saying, "Want me to take off my shoes?"

Luo Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "This junior only helps senior with writing and refining medicine."

Bai Ruofei looked at him and said, "Aren't you going to help with anything else?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "It depends on the specific situation. If I can help, I will naturally do so."

Bai Ruofei stared at him for a while longer, then said, "Help me take off my shoes, and I will teach you how to awaken your supernatural powers."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat: "Awakening supernatural powers? There's another way?"

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "Of course there is a way."

Luo Qingfeng was somewhat skeptical: "If there is a method, why hasn't it been spread? Humanity is almost at a life-or-death stage, hasn't anyone secretly spread it?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Not everyone can awaken on their own. Just like some cultivation techniques are only suitable for certain people. If I were to teach you the charm techniques of the demon race, could you cultivate them?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Are you sure your method, senior, is suitable for me?"

Bai Ruofei said, "Of course it's suitable."

The room fell silent.

a long time.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her snow-white embroidered shoes under her skirt again before walking closer, squatting down and saying, "Then this junior will help senior take off his shoes."

As he spoke, he gently grasped her slender ankle with one hand, and with the other, he helped her take off her embroidered shoes.

A slender, delicate foot clad in snow-white stockings appeared before him.

Luo Qingfeng bent down and helped her take off the second one.

In ancient times, Zhang Liang helped an old man pick up his shoes and obtained a military strategy manual, becoming one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty; now, he helped Senior Bai take off his shoes and obtained a cultivation secret, awakening his innate supernatural powers in one fell swoop.

Han Xin had even endured the humiliation of crawling between a butcher's legs, so why would he hesitate?

Moreover, the person standing before him today was neither an old man nor a butcher, but a noble and fragrant beauty.

He didn't suffer a loss.

He stood up, looking at the noble and proud woman before him, and silently reassured himself: Men and women shouldn't touch each other; a girl's feet shouldn't be touched casually. If I touch her feet, it's not me who's being humiliated, but her. Besides, this woman's embroidered shoes smell wonderful, and her jade-like feet are truly beautiful. I'm not losing out at all! On the contrary, I'm getting a huge advantage!

Although it's a bit like Ah Q (a Chinese self-deceptive person), thinking about it this way makes me feel much better.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the woman in front of him suddenly spoke up: "Since men and women shouldn't touch each other, and you took advantage of me, won't you take responsibility for me later?"

Luo Qingfeng was immediately startled!

Mind reading?
