Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Ping and Meng Fan waited for her.
Not long after, a flying sword flew in from the school gate. A girl stood on the flying sword and landed directly in front of Lu Ping.
The girl was extremely beautiful. When she saw Lu Ping, she greeted him by saying, “I’m Meng Tingting, Meng Fan’s older sister.”
Lu Ping smiled. “I’m the first grade’s Class 21’s swordsmanship instructor, Lu Ping.”
The girl looked at Meng Fan and asked softly, “Mr. Lu, may I ask, why are you helping Meng Fan?”
Although the girl was polite, Lu Ping could sense a faint sense of alienation and wariness in her tone.
Chen Mu’s behavior made Meng Tingting’s heart feel like it was burning.
She had never expected such behavior to occur.
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of disgust and wariness towards the staff of Qingzhou Academy.
Lu Ping looked into Meng Tingting’s eyes and said frankly, “I think this child has talent. If you let me nurture him, I’m sure he’ll be able to improve and tap into his potential.”
The two looked at each other. Lu Ping’s eyes were calm and clear.
Meng Tingting turned to look at Meng Fan and asked, “You want to participate in the competition?”
“Yes!” Meng Fan didn’t hesitate.
To him, there was nothing to hide between him and Meng Tingting.
Hearing this, Meng Tingting looked at Lu Ping with a complicated expression, “Then Mr. Lu, I think my brother can train with you and accept your recommendation! But I want to know, do you really only think my brother has potential?”
This was something Meng Tingting had always suspected. No matter how she looked at it, Lu Ping didn’t benefit much in this matter.
So why was he doing this?
“Yes!” Lu Ping said, “I’ve already accepted your brother as a disciple. He really has potential. Even if he can’t participate in the competition, I can train him. Believe me, he has more potential than you can imagine!”
If Meng Fan really didn’t want to participate, Lu Ping wouldn’t force him, but training was still necessary.
Anyway, as long as he completed the first task, he could awaken his Acquired Sword Heart.
“Okay! Then it’s settled!” Sensing Lu Ping’s sincerity, Meng Tingting agreed.
She walked to Meng Fan’s side and pulled him and said, “Since you want to participate, you have to fight for it when you have the chance! Don’t bother about what that Chen Mu says! We cultivators fight with the heavens for our lives. How can we give up what we want to do just because of what others say?”
“But… but Mr. Chen… said…”
Meng Fan was about to say something, Meng Tingting interrupted, “Little bro, you don’t have to care about what he says! You just have to have a clear conscience and do what’s right. If he thinks it’s wrong for you to participate in the competition, then that’s his problem!”
Then, Meng Tingting stood up, stroked her hair and said, “Mr. Lu, I want to ask, can I watch my brother’s training?”
Obviously, she was still a little worried.
“No problem!” Lu Ping agreed.
But he was a little puzzled, “Don’t you have to ask your parents?”
No matter how he looked at it, Meng Tingting was younger than him. Although her cultivation seemed to be a little higher, for such a thing, it usually required the consent of her parents, right?
Meng Tingting said in a deep voice, “No need! My parents are already dead. What I say counts!”
Hearing this, Lu Ping fell into silence and then smiled, “Then let’s go! Wait for me to send a message!”
As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent a message to Huang Xiaoqi.
“Baby, I’m going to give special training to a student today. In the future, I might come home late. Wait for me to come back and chat with you!”
Huang Xiaoqi, who was hiding in the dark, pouted.
She wanted Lu Ping to chat with her and play games.
“I get it :(” Obviously, she felt wronged!
Lu Ping replied, “Don’t worry baby, it will be over before you know it, okay?”
“Okay…” Huang Xiaoqi agreed.
But… that was just the online Huang Xiaoqi agreeing. In reality, Huang Xiaoqi flew straight out and instantly landed in front of Lu Ping.
Lu Ping was shocked. Why was crazy Huang Here?
Huang Xiaoqi said with a smile, “Mr. Lu, I didn’t expect you to teach other students in private!”
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and said, “Supervisor Huang, it’s not against the rules for me to teach other students, right?”
It was indeed not against the rules. There was no rule at Qingzhou University that forbade teachers from tutoring alone.
Many people used this to earn extra money.
Huang Xiaoqi smiled. “Of course it’s not against the rules, but I think it’s reasonable for me, as the teaching supervisor, to follow and take a look, isn’t it?”
Huang Xiaoqi looked at Meng Fan and her heart filled with doubt.
Her eyes were like torches. If Meng Fan had anything special about him, there was no way he could hide it from her.
No matter how she looked at it, he was just an ordinary mortal, with nothing worth paying attention to.
Aptitude… was trash.
In Huang Xiaoqi’s eyes, most people’s aptitude was trash.
But why did Lu Ping say he had potential?
Lu Ping sneered. “Reasonable? How is that reasonable? You’re the first grade’s teaching supervisor, he’s a third grade student, and he’s learning in private. He’s not even in school, what’s it to you?”
Lu Ping didn’t want to bring her along.
Huang Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose, she retorted, “He’s a third grade student, but aren’t you a first grade teacher? Am I in charge of the students? No! I’m in charge of the teachers! If you say that you’re teaching in private, then what’s wrong with me going to take a look? If you mislead others and damage the school’s reputation, I can’t pretend that I don’t see it!”
Lu Ping frowned. ‘Crazy Huang’s mouth is quite sharp!’
However, it had to be said that Huang Xiaoqi’s words made sense.
Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said, “What I want to teach is a secret technique. If you want to see it, you can’t just watch it for nothing, okay?”
Huang Xiaoqi pouted and said, “You want money, right? Give me a price!”
As expected of crazy Huang.
Lu Ping sighed inwardly, but still immediately extended a finger.
Huang Huang Xiaoqi said disdainfully, “A million star dollars? I’ll transfer it to you now!”
“Not a million! A thousand! It’s a thousand star dollars!” Lu Ping said angrily.
Every time he bargained with crazy Huang, it was infuriating.
Huang Xiaoqi shrieked, “A thousand star dollars for a secret technique? Are You Stupid?”
She was so excited that she felt like she was the real owner of this secret technique.
Lu Ping gritted his teeth. “You’re the stupid one! I’m not as cruel as you. This secret technique is only used by mortals. It’s mainly to strengthen Meng Fan’s body and spirit and force out his potential. It’s not worth that much!”
This was true. From the perspective of a cultivator, this thing was not worth that much.
Huang Huang Xiaoqi pouted. “Then it should be at least a hundred to two hundred thousand star dollars!”
Cut the crap!” Lu Ping’s heart was bleeding. One million star dollars was floating right in front of his eyes. Anyone’s heart would bleed.
Meng Tingting watched the two of them arguing… her eyes narrowed.
These two fellows weren’t arguing for her to see, right?
Finally, Meng Tingting opened her mouth and said, “Mr. Lu, I would like to ask, do we need to pay you?”
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment and smiled. “No, you don’t have to. If you are willing later, you can just pay for the sword. It’s 70 star dollars.”
He knew that rashly accepting the money would definitely arouse the vigilance of others, not to mention that he already had great benefits this time.
Of course, the sword wasn’t for him to use. It would be best if he didn’t have to spend the money himself.
Hearing this, Huang Xiaoqi was unhappy. “Why? Why do I have to spend money while they don’t have to?”
