Teacher, You're a Good Person

"Xiao Wu, is Shrek fun?"

Ning Rongrong hooked her arm through Xiao Wu's and began her relentless persuasion whenever she found an opening.

"Your academy is so funny. Everyone's hair is every color imaginable, like a palette, but those people always look so lecherous! It's disgusting."

"You think Zhu Qing is amazing right? She beat that Blondie until he couldn't fight back at all. That's all thanks to our teacher's gui—! Ah, no, I mean, excellent teaching!"

She nearly let it slip and hurriedly corrected herself. "Our teacher isn't just good looking, he's incredibly strong too. In his eyes, there isn't a single person who can put up a fight!"

"Xiao Wu, I have my reasons too." Xiao Wu's gaze dimmed, and she lowered her head sadly.

Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing added at just the right moment, "Teacher, you're a good person...!"

She suddenly remembered how, at the beginning, she had been full of misunderstandings about Lin Feng's actions and had criticized him endlessly in her heart.

But now, she sincerely believed that this teacher, who was a little greedy for money, a little shameless, yet gave them the very best without holding anything back, was a good person.

"Ah, let's not talk about that!"

Ning Rongrong promptly changed the subject and energetically pulled the two of them along. "Since we have free time now, let's shop till we drop! If you see anything you like, just take it. This young lady will pay...!"

"Oh, right, Zhu Qing, do you know Teacher's measurements? I want to get him a few sets of...!"

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to fall into thought before saying, "I don't know the specifics. I only know Teacher once said he was eighteen...!"

Ning Rongrong: ????...

Xiao Wu: ????...

Ning Rongrong's little face reddened. Changing the subject, she noticed the Lotus Seed Bracelet on her wrist and shook it. "Ahaha, Xiao Wu, look! Isn't this bracelet pretty?"

Xiao Wu said, "Ah, it's so pretty...!"

"It was Teacher's Apprenticeship Gift! It has One Hundred Cubic Meters of storage space inside! As long as you become Teacher's Direct Disciple, everyone gets one as standard equipment! Right, Senior Sister Zhuqing?"

Zhu Zhuqing truly admired Ning Rongrong's glib tongue. She could talk without stopping for even a moment.

Still, she cooperatively nodded and elegantly raised her wrist, revealing the matching bracelet on her hand.

Things Teacher gave them were meant to be shown off and make others jealous.

Xiao Wu looked at those magical, expensive Storage Bracelets, her eyes brimming with envy.

She wanted one too!

All their luggage had previously been kept in Tang San's belt, which was terribly inconvenient...!

She had never thought much of it before. After all, they had shared a bed for years. Though nothing had happened, they were still far more intimate than ordinary people.

But after Ning Rongrong bombarded her with remarks like "girls need to be independent," "you need private space," and "you need a sense of boundaries," she suddenly felt that she had done quite a few foolish things in the past.

Though that was mainly because she had been young and ignorant, and too poor, forced by circumstances.

But she was already grown up now. She truly should not continue being so lacking in boundaries.

Ever since she had seen Lin Feng's calm yet slightly roguish demeanor,

Xiao Wu had begun to reconsider her feelings for Tang San.

Now, she was more inclined to see Tang San only as an older brother. She could no longer bring herself to entertain the idea of developing their relationship into that of lovers.

By the time noon approached, all three of them had their hands full of bags.

Don't ask why they carried them by hand. It was because that was the only way to get the feeling of shopping.

Ning Rongrong truly lived up to her status as the young princess of the sect. With her abundant wealth, whenever she saw something she liked, she simply bought it.

She bought things not only for Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, but also added quite a few daily necessities to their little courtyard.

When Xiao Wu looked at the high-grade sanitary pads that would last her an entire year, along with over a dozen beautiful and delicate new dresses, new stockings, new shoes, and all kinds of little accessories she had once only dared to look at, she was so touched that her eyes reddened.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had never lacked spending money as a young noblewoman, this was also her first time experiencing such lavish spending—buying whatever she liked.

This time, Ning Rongrong had picked out dresses in many different styles for her, deliberately hoping to change her style of dress.

She did not refuse. If Teacher liked it, then perhaps changing a little was not impossible.

It just felt somewhat embarrassing to spend someone else's money.

She thought that she would simply take better care of this Junior Sister in the future.

She had to admit that there was still a difference in spending power between a wealthy young princess of the sect and an ordinary noble.

This was probably the difference between the script of a beloved group favorite and the script of an underdog's rise.

Zhu Zhuqing silently thought this as she watched the excited Ning Rongrong and the touched Xiao Wu.

Once they had bought almost everything they needed, the three of them carried their bags and prepared to head back.

"Xiao Wu, you're hungry too, aren't you?"

Ning Rongrong affectionately linked arms with her. "Come eat lunch at our academy! Our teacher's cooking is delicious. I guarantee that once you eat it the first time, you'll want a second!"

A hint of hesitation and difficulty appeared on Xiao Wu's face. "I-I'd better not, right? I'm afraid... afraid people will misunderstand...!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong chuckled and deliberately teased her. "Misunderstand? Are you afraid that your 'Third Brother' will misunderstand?"

"N-No, that's not it! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Wu hurriedly denied it. "Third Brother and I are just brother and sister! We don't have that kind of relationship!"

"Then what are you still afraid of?"

Ning Rongrong struck while the iron was hot and continued her great campaign of persuasion. "Come on, come back with us! If he really only sees you as his little sister, he won't restrict your freedom. If he wants to control you and interfere with you at every turn, that proves he has other thoughts in his heart!"

She shook her head, wearing the look of someone who had been through it all. "Oh, Xiao Wu, you really need to wise up!"

Ning Rongrong secretly snickered, extremely satisfied with the progress of her attempt to win Xiao Wu over.

If Lin Feng heard those words, he would probably give her a thumbs-up too—this Disciple had such great comprehension!

She even happily thought, If I successfully complete Teacher's mission to lure Xiao Wu over, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a kiss as a reward when we get back, right?

No, no, that's moving too fast. Then just touching Teacher's lean waist should be fine, right?

I'm so capable. Teacher will definitely like me even more!

When the Three Women laughingly brought Xiao Wu to the little courtyard of Supreme Academy, Lin Feng was indeed somewhat surprised.

These two Disciples had some serious Execution Ability!

They had refused to help verbally, yet acted with such decisive speed. They had brought her back so quickly?

"Teacher! Teacher...!"

The moment Ning Rongrong entered, she chirped away as she claimed credit. "Xiao Wu is having lunch with us! Hurry up and cook, and remember to make more! We didn't eat a thing in the city today—we left our stomachs empty just waiting for your food!"

Looking at Ning Rongrong, who had instantly turned the quiet little courtyard lively, Lin Feng's mood could not help but lighten as well.

"Got it! Then Your Master will show off my skills again!" he readily agreed, tying on an apron as he headed for the kitchen.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed in silence. She wanted to help out, while also secretly learning Teacher's craft.

Naturally, Ning Rongrong would not miss such a perfect opportunity to get close to Teacher.
