“Here, watch carefully.”

Wearing a smile, Chu Qing nonchalantly grabbed a chair and sat down, eliciting surprised glances from those around him.

“This is how you solve it…”

As Chu Qing continued to explain, jotting down the steps of analysis for Tang Ziyan. Curious onlookers approached, their interest piqued by Chu Qing’s presence in the classroom.

When they realized that Chu Qing was explaining this question, they surrounded him to take a look. They didn’t know this question either.

The third-year classroom of the high school was filled with a strong sense of studiousness. Some students were so dedicated to their studies that they would forgo lunch and instead munch on bread while using their free time to solve problems. Now, these diligent individuals began to gather around, eager to observe what was happening.

Chu Qing delivered his explanation with eloquence, and Tang Ziyan, being a sharp-minded individual, quickly grasped the solution. A smile of understanding graced her face, unable to contain her appreciation for the solution.

After finishing his explanation, Chu Qing took a sip from the bottle of water on Tang Ziyan’s desk. However, as soon as the water touched his lips, he suddenly looked up and forcefully spat it out, spraying it everywhere!

A crowd of people gathered around Chu Qing and Tang Ziyan, unsure if it was appropriate to intrude. At that moment, all of them glanced thoughtfully at the paper filled with words beside Chu Qing’s hand…

“Uh…”

Chu Qing pondered for a moment and suddenly grabbed Tang Ziyan’s hand.

“Let’s go and have a meal together…”

Chu Qing squeezed through the crowd with difficulty and said to the back, “Oh, right, you can take that piece of paper.”

In an instant, there was an uproar behind him. The students were frantically snatching that piece of paper!

“You’re so mean.”

Tang Ziyan rolled her eyes at Chu Qing, but her eyes were filled with flirtatiousness, making Chu Qing’s heart skip a beat.

In the past, Chu Qing would often visit Tang Ziyan’s class to find her. During their lunch breaks, they would seize the opportunity to hold hands and take leisurely walks around the field. However, whenever they spotted a teacher approaching, Tang Ziyan would shyly let go, leaving Chu Qing standing awkwardly with his hands in his pockets, pretending not to know her.

Chu Qing grabbed Tang Ziyan’s hand.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Me? 1’11 just eat something. The lunch break is almost over.”

Even though Tang Ziyan and Chu Qing were dating, they remained dedicated to their studies. They understood the significance of the upcoming college entrance examination, which was an extremely important event for their future.

“Alright then. We’ll go buy some. 1’11 send you back later.”

“By the way, take this with you. Keep it safe.”

Chu Qing almost forgot about the important matter.

He took out the jade pendant from his pocket and put it on Tang Ziyan.

“What’s this?”

Tang Ziyan didn’t resist as Chu Qing smoothly placed the jade pendant on her. She picked up the jade stone curiously. Coming from a well-off family, Tang Ziyan could tell at a glance that this jade stone was anything but ordinary. Its market value was estimated to be around 50,000 yuan.

“Hehe, it’s a small gift.”

“I don’t want it. It’s too expensive.”

Tang Ziyan shook her head. Even for a big family like hers, the living expenses they gave their children were only so little. Moreover, Chu Qing’s family was not that rich. How could he suddenly give her such an expensive gift?

“Take it. Be good.”

Chu Qing stopped Tang Ziyan from doing anything else and made her hold the jade in her hand.

“Listen to me. This jade is not only for ornamental purposes, but it can also protect you.”

Chu Qing blinked. Tang Ziyan seemed to understand something. She knew Chu Qing’s identity, so she naturally understood what he meant.

Is he worried about my safety?

Tang Ziyan’s heart warmed. Her parents only wanted to nurture her into a qualified heir. Although they loved her very much, they rarely expressed it like Chu Qing.

Tang Ziyan was silent, but her grip on Chu Qing tightened.

The two of them walked hand in hand until they were done shopping. Chu Qing sent Tang Ziyan back to the classroom.

Tang Ziyan insisted on sending Chu Qing back to the classroom, but the latter rejected her sternly. Although their thoughts were that women were superior to men and women had to take care of men, it was a little hard for a chauvinist like Chu Qing to accept it.

Unable to dissuade Chu Qing, Tang Ziyan watched him leave.

When he returned to the classroom, the class had already fallen silent. There was the sound of writing. Chu Qing silently returned to his seat.

Glancing at Lin Dong, who had a bruise on his arm, Chu Qing couldn’t help but gloat.

Time to refine!

Chu Qing silently picked up a pendant in his bag and pretended to listen to the class. He widened his dead fish eyes and began to refine spirit talismans.

Chu Qing wasn’t particularly interested in the afternoon class. Having had a good sleep in the morning, he delved into refining techniques with fervor. As he gradually improved his technique, his speed began to increase. What used to take him over 10 minutes to refine now only took about eight minutes.

The speed at which Chu Qing was refining was quite astonishing. If it weren’t for the need to wait for his spiritual energy to recover, he would have already successfully completed the refinement process.

Finally, when class was about to end, Chu Qing held a bag full of spirit talismans and shed tears of gratitude.

There were a total of 30 spirit talismans. He would send them to Ye Chenxi tonight and see what price she could give him.

Chu Qing still had high hopes for this. Whether he could buy a car depended on this..
