Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation

Jiang Xiu gazed towards Ye Bing who had pursed her brows up, revealing quite a nervous appearance. Some of the questions on her answer sheet were blank, with traces of erased answers. It looked like she wasn't sure if her answer was correct.

Literature was Ye Bing's forte and also the subject for which she scored the highest grades. She wanted to use the Literature and English exam scores to complement for the Mathematics score. If she scored less in Literature and was again pulled down by Mathematics then she wouldn't be able to achieve her dream of entering the Imperial Capital.

30 minutes passed by rapidly.

Ding-Dong. The bell rang, indicating the end of the exam.

Ye Bing started to panic after hearing the bell ring and rushed to write the answer when she heard the invigilator's strict voice, "The exam duration has passed. Put your pen down. If you write even a character more, it'll be treated as malpractice."

"Leave the exam papers on the desk and exit from the classroom."

Ye Bing rushed out of the classroom with a pale face, her eyes glistening with tears. Jiang Xiu shook his head after seeing this. Isn't this little girl good with the subject? How did she become so dumb during the exam time?

He mumbled a spell and consequently, a few of the answers on Ye Bing's exam paper changed.

After leaving the classroom, Jiang Xiu saw Ye Bing run towards the shade of a tree where no one was present. Her shoulders trembled as she lost control of her emotions and started crying. Jiang Xiu went towards her and looked at her beautiful tear-stained face. He stood beside her for a moment and began speaking, "Ye Bing, it's just an exam. Is there a need to feel so sad?"

Perhaps it would have been better if he hadn't said anything as his words caused her to cry louder. Her wails filled with despair along with a heart-wrenching sadness, similar to how a little girl feels when her beloved toy gets taken away.

Her wails drew attention from the surrounding examinees.

They began to comment among themselves.

"Don't cry, okay. You'll alert the police if you keep crying. Wouldn't it be a great injustice to this Deity if they deemed that this Deity is a rogue and arrest me?"

Those who weren't privy to the actual reason she was crying might indeed think Jiang Xiu was harassing Ye Bing.

Two glistening teardrops formed at the corners of Ye Bing's eyes, "You're indeed a rogue…" Yes, a rogue. You appeared at my home mysteriously and even saw me in the nude. What else are you if not a rogue?

"Ei. Alright. This Deity is a rogue then. You are also someone extraordinary, a fairy who has descended from the heavens into this mortal world. None of the others schoolgirls can match up to you. This Deity indeed feels honored to make Fairy Ye say this Deity is a rogue. Only, this Deity isn't any ordinary rogue but rather a high-class rogue."

Ye Bing really couldn't stand his antics, always saying some crazy nonsense, messing up even while trying to coax a person, yet she indeed felt better and felt like laughing. "Just who do you think you are? I've never seen such a narcissistic person."

Jiang Xiu took out a handkerchief and handed it over to her.

Ye Bing turned around to wipe the tear stains.

"It's nothing."

Ye Bing made a cute expression, "As you're a weak student, you can never understand how a girl with excellent grades feels when she does badly on the exam."

Student Ye Bing also didn't lack in shamelessness.

However, these words came from the bottom of her heart.

Hasn't this Deity turned up with a bedbug while eating melon seeds? This Deity came here to comfort you with kind intentions and look, you've made me your target for making a joke. This Deity has indeed made a mistake.

However, after looking at her sad appearance, he didn't feel like bothering her anymore.

"How do you know you haven't done the exam well?"

"I didn't know the answer for three MCQs. 15 points are gone there."

"Perhaps you might've got them right."

She puckered her lips, a hope kindling inside her.

"Alright now, stop thinking about it. This Deity shall give you an opportunity to invite this Deity to lunch today."

When they left the school premises, the sky turned dark all of a sudden and summer rain started pouring down heavily. The two of them ran one behind the other and bolted into a public phone booth.

The sounds of heavy rain splashing against the asphalt resounded, and the scenery outside the phone booth turned hazy in an instant due to the mist forming on the glass.

"It's raining so heavily…"

The sky outside had turned pitch-black, only the sounds of rain echoing in their ears. It seemed as if they were isolated from the entire world, leaving only Ye Bing and Jiang Xiu.

They could clearly hear the counterpart's breaths in such a narrow space.

Their eyes met each other's, kindling their emotions. Perhaps because a lone man and woman became isolated in such a narrow phone booth, or perhaps because there was no external disturbance from the outside world, things began to change.

An ambiguous mood started to develop.

"Am I a horrible person?" asked Ye Bing.

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "You're still fine as this Deity has taken fancy to you. You have a pretty face and also a nice body…" As he mentioned 'body' a little shamelessly, he realized that he spoke excessively. It was indirectly telling Ye Bing that he had seen her nude entirely. He meant to comfort her but it turned into provocation instead.

Ye Bing's gaze turned tender, "You're just trying to comfort me…"

"This Deity always speaks the truth, or else…"

It looked like Ye Bing was quite courageous today. Her glistening eyes stared at Jiang Xiu as she asked, "Or else what?"

Jiang Xiu gulped down like a rogue. A voice from his subconscious kept reminding him that he needed to control himself and act befitting to his identity as the Sect Master of the Heaven Treading Sect, but he couldn't endure in the end. "Or else this Deity wouldn't have stared at you for such a long time then."

Ye Bing's pretty face blushed but she had no intentions of shrinking back now and instead approached nearer, causing a fragrance to puff at Jiang Xiu's face. Her glistering red lips looked quite seductive.

The two of them moved closer and acted as if they had forgotten everything else. Just like an electric shock, a dizzy spell hit them followed by a dream-like sweet bliss.

The rain poured down faster.

After a while…

The scenery outside became clearer and the sounds of rain lighter. The light from outside woke them up, leaving them with rushed breaths.

Ye Bing leaned against the phone booth, her canvas shoes steeled firmly to the ground, face crimson and lowered down, eyelashes quivering from time to time.

Jiang Xiu was leaning on the opposite side.

"Which university are you planning to join…"

"Haven't decided yet!"

Ye Bing softly muttered an 'oh' and then said, "I'm planning to go to the Imperial Capital for higher studies."

"Oh!"

Ye Bing glanced at him, "Don't misunderstand, okay. I'm just saying it in passing."

"This Deity knows that!"

"Therefore…"

"Why don't you try for a university in the Imperial Capital as well?"

In the previous timeline, Jiang Xiu had intentions to read at the Imperial Capital. Of course, it wasn't to join a famous university as there were plenty of universities and polytechnic colleges there, but his parents didn't let him go to the Imperial Capital.

The reason he had wanted to go to the Imperial Capital in the previous timeline was because Cheng Lingsu was over there and he was afraid of someone snatching his wife.

"This Deity will consider it."

Ye Bing continued, "I'll definitely go to the Imperial Capital as my parents won't allow me to go anywhere else. It'll either be the Imperial University or National University…"

Ye Bing was pretty confident about it.

Although Ye Yiliang didn't have such a big influence, he could find means to settle this problem. As long as his daughter had close grades, anything was possible.

"This Deity will consider it…"

Jiang Xiu gave the same reply.

"The rain has stopped. Let's go out."

After pushing the door open, the noises from outside came rushing to their ears like a tide, sounds of chatter, sounds of vehicles as well as the sounds of water splashing as the wheels ran over puddles.

The two of them walked over towards a restaurant together.

Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still dark. It was only 11 AM so it was strange for something like this to happen. Jiang Xiu looked up towards the thick black clouds covering the city and felt it was quite odd.

"Just now… what happened before… it was an accident, okay?" Ye Bing summoned her courage and stated this with blushing cheeks.

"Mhm, an accident!"

Ye Bing relaxed her breath after hearing these words but she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in her heart. A girl's mood was just like the summer rain, quite hard to predict. She revealed a smile again, her mood returning to a good one but kept her thoughts a secret to herself. This can be considered as a Memoria of my high school's end.

She turned her pretty face and glanced towards Jiang Xiu beside her, "Student Jiang Xiu, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment, "Let's just eat some junk food at the fast food store ahead then."

The reason he said this was that he felt quite famished at the moment.

However, his thoughts were something else entirely. In view of your performance just now, you've succeeded in making this Deity feel a little pleasant and barely obtained a passing grade. Although you're an amateur lacking with skill and experience, you've regained your reserve maid qualifications now. The rest is up to your future performance.
