Chapter 6, Provocation

However, compared to those in the audience, the individuals on the stage were all fully energized and began to strive with great effort

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, the lackey immediately understood that there had been a misunderstanding. He hurriedly said: "Young Master, please do not misunderstand, do not misunderstand... I did not mean it that way."

The lackey was taken aback and said somewhat nervously, "W-why is it not possible?"

Male hormones are indeed a fascinating thing. In order to make Feng Xueqing linger on them a little longer, those guys each unleashed their full strength. If their teacher were to see this, they would probably shake their heads in lamentation. They are not even as good as a seventeen-year-old girl.

Dressed in a pure white gown, with long black hair like clouds, her exquisite features carry a hint of coolness. Despite the countless onlookers, she remains completely unfazed. Wherever she goes, those around her instinctively part to make way.

Feng Xueqing stopped at a position below the martial arts arena, her gaze directed towards the stage, completely ignoring the looks of admiration or jealousy from those around her. The scene, which had just been extremely lively, quieted down somewhat with the arrival of Feng Xueqing.

As I was watching Chang Shu, who was fighting on the arena with great enthusiasm, I suddenly heard a hushed shout coming from beside me. I couldn't help but turn my head to look.

The lackey, upon hearing this, became anxious. Was he really going to let the reward slip away right before him? He quickly thought of a way to salvage his reward. As his eyes darted around, he happened to see Chang Shu, who was looking up at the battle on the arena. He was momentarily taken aback, but then a plan formed in his mind, and he began to flatter, saying: "Indeed, indeed, it was my oversight; Young Master is truly meticulous in thought... Since I am incapable, then... he should be able to, right?" The lackey's hand pointed towards the oblivious Chang Shu.

Shi Weijie was momentarily taken aback, and a look of affection involuntarily appeared on his face. He naturally understood without needing to be told that if he could win Feng Xueqing's heart through his own abilities, his father, the city lord, would undoubtedly be overjoyed.

Both weapon forging and alchemy are profoundly extensive disciplines that require not only exceptional perseverance but also a strong innate talent to potentially reach the level of a true master. In a kingdom, having even one person who achieves the title of Master in weapon forging or alchemy is already quite remarkable. Even among those who hold the title of 'Master', the number does not exceed one hundred. However, without reaching the 'Master' level, practitioners of these two professions can only be considered part of the lower strata of society. Consequently, very few people are willing to pursue these fields.

The gap between the poor and the rich is indeed very significant

When she clearly saw the person approaching, a chill suddenly filled Chang Shu's eyes... The one who had grabbed him was not a stranger; it was none other than their classmate, Li Qiang.

Do not be deceived by the appearance of this lackey; in terms of sheer martial prowess, as a Nine-Star Warrior, he is far more formidable than Shi Weijie. Upon hearing this remark, Shi Weijie's expression immediately darkened, revealing a hint of anger in his eyes

Oh dear

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Feng Xueqing, who was still standing gracefully beside him, a hint of infatuation flashing in his eyes. However, he soon appeared somewhat lost and helpless as he said: "But... will she like me?"

A hint of admiration could not help but appear in Chang Shu's eyes, though it quickly returned to clarity... Beautiful women are liked by everyone, but Chang Shu is self-aware... Given his current status, there would absolutely be no intersection with the other party.

In a corner that Chang Shu did not notice, Shi Weijie stared blankly at the figure of Feng Xueqing standing gracefully in the snowstorm, his eyes filled with infatuation. ... With his slightly parted lips, liquid had even begun to uncontrollably trickle down ... . ... Originally not considered a handsome man, he now appeared even more like a foolish pig.

"Young Master, shall we go up and have a match?" The words spoken by the lackey immediately caused Shi Weijie to widen his eyes in surprise

"Young Master, let's do it this way..." The sycophant, noticing the gleam in Shi Weijie's eyes, quickly leaned in and whispered a few words in his ear. It was evident that the excitement in Shi Weijie's eyes grew even stronger.

Shi Weijie coldly snorted with an unhappy expression: "Hmph, what do you mean by that?"

Shi Weijie was momentarily taken aback, but the excitement in his eyes immediately began to surge... As for others, he might not be able to win. However, he still had a certain level of confidence against the weakest trash in this class

Of course, if you have obtained the title of 'Master'... then congratulations, at least one high-ranking individual from a kingdom can be counted among your acquaintances, even if you are the lowest rank of 'Master', which is one star

What I've been waiting for is your words! ... The lackey immediately chuckled, his expression on his face exuding an indescribable flattery

Nevertheless, he remained uncontrollably obsessed with her

Outside the martial arts arena, a striking figure was walking towards the venue. Her long hair danced gently in the wind, exuding an indescribable charm

Chang Shu looked up at the two individuals on the arena, engaged in a relentless exchange of attacks, with a hint of envy in his eyes. Although he lacked the strength to discern their exact levels, he could tell from the 'whoosh' of their punches that their power was certainly considerable. If he were to take the stage himself, he feared that just one of those punches would be enough to leave him utterly disoriented.

The sycophant secretly despised... If Feng Xueqing were really to like you, it would be as unlikely as pigs flying up trees. However, on the surface, he boasted shamelessly: "Of course! Young Master, you are as graceful as a jade tree, extraordinary and remarkable. Where in the world could there be a woman who would not be moved by you? Right now, Feng Xueqing simply has not yet seen your remarkable side... As long as you go up and have a match with me, and then defeat me with the posture of a strong man... Right now, Feng Xueqing simply has not yet seen your remarkable side... As long as you go up and have a match with me, and then defeat me with the posture of a strong man... Hehe, Feng Xueqing will surely look at you with new eyes, and in that case, you will definitely win her favor...

because this signifies that you are now capable of crafting earth-tier magical accessories or weapons

Ah, quickly look! The wind and snow have cleared up!

The lackey's forehead was sweating, secretly thinking to himself that he was an idiot for playing charades with this foolish young master; wasn't he just asking for trouble? Yet, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, repeatedly nodding and flattering, saying: "Actually, what I mean is... Young master, you like Feng Xueqing, right? Since that's the case, you need to take action to pursue her! Although the master instructed not to use force, if you can make Feng Xueqing willingly follow you, I believe the master would be very pleased, wouldn't he?"

Coming from a distinguished family, he experienced the wonderful feelings between men and women at an early age. It is precisely because of this that Feng Xueqing's impressive figure captivated Shi Weijie. If it were not for his father, the city lord, warning him that Feng Xueqing's family power was far beyond what he could provoke, and that his own strength was not as formidable as hers, he might have already resorted to special means to win her over.

She is indeed the recognized belle of the prestigious Huqiang Secondary School - Feng Xueqing

"No, no..." Just as he was about to say a whole bunch of flattering words, Shi Weijie was taken aback, then furrowed his brows and shook his head repeatedly: "No, it won't do..."

However, a set of cultivation techniques for entering the ranks is not inexpensive. Even the most basic human-level first star cultivation method requires hundreds of gold lisuo. For Chang Shu, this is not a small sum. It can even be said that this is an astronomical figure

However, based on the current daily income of fifty magical accessories, one can earn approximately seventy copper lisos in a day. After deducting necessary expenses, about five copper lisos remain... It would take at least more than five months to gather enough money... Sigh, it seems I need to think of other ways to earn money when I go back. " Chang Shu scratched his head in frustration... Looking at the people on the arena, he felt a wave of envy... For him, a cultivation technique of the entry level would require frugality for at least half a year to afford. Looking at the people on the arena, he felt a wave of envy... For him, a cultivation technique of the entry level would require frugality for at least half a year to afford. But others, due to their affluent family conditions, do not need to have such thoughts at all.

"You think so," Shi Weijie said, his thick eyebrows furrowing into a knot. "You have been with me for so many years, and Feng Xueqing often visits our home. She has long been aware of the relationship between you and me. Now that we are going to compete, if I defeat you, she might easily see through our plan! This is not good, not good..." Shi Weijie shook his head repeatedly, a look of distress appearing on his face. It is indeed remarkable that he could think so far ahead. Now that we are going to compete, if I defeat you, she might easily see through our plan! This is not good, not good..." Shi Weijie shook his head repeatedly, a look of distress appearing on his face. It is indeed remarkable that he could think so far ahead.

Just as he was lost in thought, a sudden exclamation rang out beside Chang Shu's ear. He immediately felt his body being violently bumped by someone. Caught off guard, he stumbled forward a couple of steps, completely unaware of what had just happened

Shi Weijie’s green bean-like eyes suddenly lit up, and judging by his expression, it is not hard to imagine that he seemed to have already seen Feng Xueqing looking at him with admiration... After indulging in this fantasy for a while, Shi Weijie suddenly burst into laughter, patting the shoulder of his lackey: "Not bad, not bad... Good idea! There will be generous rewards when we return!"

This man with a fawning smile is the son of a steward at the city lord's mansion, named Li Qiang. He has followed Shi Weijie since childhood, serving as his most devoted lackey, often coming up with some terrible ideas. As a student in the third year of the refining department, class five, if Shi Weijie is said to be the one who most enjoys mocking Chang Shu, then this person is undoubtedly the second.

Chang Shu understood a principle very well: daydreaming may indeed provide a sense of spiritual satisfaction for a period of time. However, this is merely a form of spiritual satisfaction. Once one truly confronts reality, this satisfaction will transform into a more intense sense of emptiness. Only that which is achieved through one’s own hard work and effort is real and genuine.

Oh no! You worthless fool, how dare you bump into our young master?! Are you seeking death?!" At the same time as another loud curse echoed, a large hand with an irresistible force grabbed Chang Shu's shoulder, then yanked him forcefully, bringing him face to face with the other party

It seems that I must first earn money to purchase a set of entry-level cultivation techniques to practice... Chang Shu quietly contemplated his future path

"Young Master, Young Master..." The flattering voice that reached his ears brought Shi Weijie back to his senses. Turning his head to look, he saw a fawning smile. The earlier image of Shi Weijie, resembling a lecher, suddenly became awkward as he cleared his throat, and his expression turned proud. He lightly uttered an "mm" as a response
