Poor at Socializing

"Epilepsy requires plenty of rest and avoiding overexertion. Regarding diet..."

"I don't have epilepsy, I just failed to invoke God!"

"This illness is a neurological disorder. Some language-related issues will require gradual recovery. I have some sedative medication here; please have the patient take it on time!"

Zhang Xuezhou is a frequent visitor to the Canglan Academy Hospital; the on-duty doctors often see him being carried in and out of the hospital.

He never imagined that Zhang Xuezhou would one day be able to carry someone else in.

It's easier to get things done with acquaintances, so he completely ignored Erkelando's rebuttal and repeatedly instructed Zhang Xuezhou on how to use the medication to prevent the other party from having another relapse.

"Okay, doctor!"

Zhang Xuezhou took the large and small bottles of medicine and nodded in agreement.

"Two pieces, please?"

Only after the on-duty doctor left the ward did Zhang Xuezhou unscrew the cap of the medicine bottle and grab the pills into his hand.

"Let me tell you, this isn't epilepsy, it's just..."

Turklando hummed in protest twice, then finally took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

She denied it vehemently with her mouth, but her hands were quite honest.

Before meeting Turcolando, Zhang Xuezhou felt that she was somewhat aloof and unfathomable, but after getting to know her, he realized that she was a stubborn woman.

Zhang Xuezhou stared at Turcolando for a few seconds before snapping back to reality.

"Do you usually use that kind of aura too much?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"I didn't use it much; it was just emitted spontaneously," Turcolando explained. "It's a natural behavior for the Tur people!"

"Great behavior!"

Turcolando's ability is extremely unique; when used well, it can be a powerful tool for social interaction.

If this kind of 'aura' cannot be effectively controlled, the number of people the other party comes into contact with and influences will inevitably be large, which makes it extremely easy for many people to speak and act in accordance with Turcolando's wishes.

In other words, although Turcolando may appear to be quite old, his actual social skills are likely extremely poor.

When passively dissipated 'aura' and actively released abilities fail, the other party will find themselves in an extremely awkward situation, easily becoming embarrassed and bewildered.

"You really don't have epilepsy?" Zhang Xuezhou asked after thinking for a moment.

"I really didn't," Turkelando assured him firmly.

"Then how do you take your epilepsy medication?"

"Didn't you give it to me to eat?"

Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized why Ren Yisheng had mentioned the other person as "just like in previous years".

Given Iturkerando's current state, it's not impossible that she could be tricked and abducted to raise two more offspring.

"Alright, if you're not sick, take less medicine. Once we get back to your Thousand Islands Alliance, find a good hospital and get checked out!"

Zhang Xuezhou clapped his hands and then stood up.

"I won't hold it against you for lying to me," Zhang Xuezhou said. "When you want to go to Xuanshi Building, we can contact each other again."

"Wait, are you leaving?" Turcorando asked.

"Yes, I need to go back to Xuanshi Building to finish my studies and try to graduate smoothly this year," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"Then take me with you," Turcorando said. "I want to go to Xuanshi Building to see Ren's old residence."

"You're not thinking of stealing some of my teacher's belongings, are you?" Zhang Xuezhou asked, blinking.

"How... how could this be!"

When Turcolando's social skills were shattered, some questions that shouldn't have been asked surfaced.

This left Turcorando feeling quite uncertain in his response.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't even need to look at Turcolando's facial expression to know that the other party was no different from Ren Yisheng's guess; they were probably eyeing the content of the Mental Strengthening Chapter.

"I'm currently the only advanced student in the group the teacher is leading. The teacher passed on some of his belongings to me, such as 'Constructive Psychology,' 'Branches of the Mind,' ' Mental Strengthening,' and 'Social Psychology'..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Zhang Xuezhou's nagging quickly brought Turcolando back to her senses from her shame.

Zhang Xuezhou read a lot, but only the four words "Mental Strengthening" echoed in her mind.

Her visit to Ren Yisheng's former residence was a pretense; her real purpose was to see Ren Yisheng's drafts, notes, and other materials related to Mental Strengthening.

There was no special affection between Turcolando and Ren Yisheng, but Turcolando did care a lot about Ren Yisheng's abilities.

According to the intelligence of the Tuer clan, the Mental Strengthening that Ren Yisheng obtained originated from the research of the Luofu royal family and was an extremely high-level secret.

If the relevant information can be obtained for verification, it will save the Tuer people countless research times and efforts.

"Did Ren leave those books to you?" Turcorando asked.

"Yes," Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "I've taken over my teacher's research project, so it's normal for me to take some books, drafts, and documents. I'll need to go to my teacher's study to organize them later."

"Um... could you show me a book? I'm very interested in books, just a quick look is fine," Turcolando whispered.

"Your request..."

"The requirements are very low, you agree?"

"No, I was wondering why I should take you to see our teacher's belongings. After all, this isn't a wedding banquet, and I don't want to take you there to join in the fun, but..."

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, then looked at Turcolando from head to toe with considerable interest.

"What? You've taken a fancy to me? Do you want me to marry you before you can come and see it?" Turkellando's expression softened slightly. "It's a bit inconvenient for me to get a marriage certificate here!"

"..."

Perhaps it was the 'wedding banquet,' or perhaps it was Zhang Xuezhou's gaze as he sized up Turcolando that led the other party to make a highly skewed judgment.

Zhang Xuezhou was momentarily at a loss for words to reply to Turcolando.

But given Turcolando's proactive approach, it's not entirely unfair that she was tricked out of two egg cells.

"But I see you have a lot of jewels on you, why don't you give me some?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "I'm very interested in your two jade bracelets, the pendant around your neck, the hairpin, and the jade you previously hung on the professor's body!"

"You... you're making a really unreasonable request!"

Even with her poor social skills, Turcoland felt she had to refuse the offer.

When getting married, one can at least ask the groom to give something, but Zhang Xuezhou's request was all about giving and no receiving, and Turcolando felt she couldn't do such a thing.

"That's a real shame. I'm in a hurry to sort through his belongings. I'll collect what needs to be collected and burn what needs to be burned. Goodbye!"

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou get up and leave, Turcolando also struggled to get up from the medical bed.

She wasn't afraid that Zhang Xuezhou would inherit Ren Yisheng's belongings, but she was afraid that Zhang Xuezhou would mess things up and burn things that shouldn't have been burned.

"This, this, and this are all yours, but I must take back the Soul Jade on Ren's body," Turcolando said urgently. "That... that one holds my longing, I can't give it to you!"

"OK!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

Whenever Turcolando is in a hurry or wants to lie, the other person will unconsciously stammer when speaking.

Zhang Xuezhou originally intended to obtain various gems, and then reduce his demands through bargaining, eventually getting the other party to accept the price of Soul Jade. However, Zhang Xuezhou did not expect that what Turcolando valued most was Soul Jade.

He accepted the jade bracelet, pendant, and hairpin from Turcolando, but was not in a hurry to ask for the Soul Jade.

When Turcolando first comes into contact with the Mental Strengthening Chapter, that will be the time when he will be caught in a dilemma.

Given the other party's social and negotiation skills, Zhang Xuezhou could fulfill Ren Yisheng's instructions even while lying down.
