31: she is not a good person

Mo Fan's face darkened as he looked at Lin Yiyi, who still had her hair tied in a high ponytail, was wearing the exclusive Menial Service uniform of the Alchemy Hall, and had a beautiful, youthful, and well-proportioned figure.

Why was this girl so persistent?

Soon, the training class began.

Mo Fan pretended not to see Lin Yiyi and went to sit in a corner.

Seeing this, Liu Jian frowned.

Usually, Mo Fan would sit in the front row and listen attentively.

Why was he sitting at the back today?

Was he trying to slack off?

No, I'll have to make him answer a few more questions later... "Today's topic is the dragon scale tree."

Liu Jian lectured from the podium with a poker face.

"This is an extremely rare sixth-grade spirit plant, and its survival conditions are very harsh.

"So harsh that no one has yet figured out its pattern.

"Because the dragon scale tree can survive in various environments.

"It seems to possess astonishing random attributes.

"Sometimes people find it growing near volcanoes where no grass grows and the temperature is consistently above fifty degrees all year round.

"Other times, people find it growing in extremely cold places covered by ice and snow all year round.

"Sometimes, people find it growing in deserts with scarce water sources.

"Other times, people find it growing in tropical rainforests.

"However, no matter what environment it originally lived in.

"As long as it is transplanted, even if an identical environment is simulated, it will die one hundred percent of the time."

Having said this in one breath, Liu Jian paused, seemingly recalling something, and only continued after a long while:

"Over so many years, all the transplanted dragon scale trees have withered and died within a short period, without exception.

"In addition, even if dragon scale tree seeds are obtained, planting them is also full of unknowns.

"Because it can survive in any environment, or it may not survive in any environment.

"For this reason, cultivating the dragon scale tree has become an almost impossible task—"

At this point, a smile suddenly appeared on Liu Jian's usually stern face.

"Coincidentally, a dragon scale tree seed that this old man planted back then has already grown into a sapling. That sapling is in the Spirit Herb Garden where you work, so I presume you are not unfamiliar with it."

Everyone quickly nodded, looking at Liu Jian with admiration.

To be able to grow a dragon scale tree, it was simply divine!

What was a great master?

This was it!

They naturally knew about this.

The place where that dragon scale tree grew was under the wall on the west side of the Spirit Herb Garden.

Of course, that wall had now been excavated, and the dragon scale tree sapling was fenced off and inscribed with mysterious Magic Arrays.

Liu Jian even built a small wooden house there, and apart from teaching them, he stayed in the small wooden house, almost guarding the dragon scale tree without leaving its side.

Smiling, Liu Jian continued:

"In another month or two, when the dragon scale tree grows a bit larger, this old man will take you to see it."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up, and they couldn't help but get excited.

The dragon scale tree was priceless; all the spirit plants in the Spirit Herb Garden combined were not as valuable as a single leaf from it.

If they could weed and water such a high-end spirit plant, it would be worth dying for!

Liu Jian glanced at everyone's reaction, nodded with satisfaction, and continued his explanation.

Mo Fan, who knew the training materials like the back of his hand, naturally knew about the dragon scale tree.

He listened distractedly, and when he noticed Lin Yiyi occasionally looking his way, his face twitched.

He never expected it.

Lin Yiyi actually came to the Alchemy Hall!

And was participating in the training with them!

The first phase of training was almost over.

Running over like this, didn't it seem too intentional?

However, after a careful thought, Mo Fan understood.

Lin Yiyi's initial goal was the Alchemy Hall.

It was just that something unexpected happened in the middle, and Mo Fan snatched the spot in the Alchemy Hall.

That's why she went to another hall.

However, she seemed to have some methods and eventually returned to the Spirit Herb Garden.

"What a sin, if I had known this earlier, I should have given her the Alchemy Hall..."

Mo Fan's face was bitter, wanting to cry but having no tears.

It was just that at that time, he didn't think too much.

He naturally chose the most promisingSide job.

"Forget it, let nature take its course!"

Finally, Mo Fan stopped agonizing and gradually calmed down.

No matter what Lin Yiyi's intentions were.

It had nothing to do with him.

As long as he didn't get involved.

Most likely, there wouldn't be any problems.

Even if he was caught in the crossfire, as long as he remained vigilant and didn't get too close to her, he wouldn't get into any trouble.

Thinking this, Mo Fan's heart felt much calmer.

He just needed to Cultivate in peace and work diligently.

Soon, the morning passed.

As soon as the closing bell rang, Mo Fan immediately left the training classroom and hurried towards the cafeteria.

"Wait, wait for me..." Xu Jing quickly followed him.

"Wait for me too!" Lin Yiyi also quickly followed.

Everyone: "???"

Everyone in the Spirit Herb Garden was instantly dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

"Xu Jing is one thing; the two of them entered at the same time and have known each other for a long time, so it's a case of 'the one nearest the water gets the moon first.' But what's happening now?"

"Yeah, why is the beautiful Junior Sister also chasing after Mo Fan?"

"Damn! This is too—"

For a moment, everyone didn't know what to say.

"Can being handsome really allow one to do whatever they want?"

...Cafeteria.

Mo Fan and Xu Jing got their food and found an empty table to sit down.

Before long, Lin Yiyi also walked over with her tray.

"Long time no see, you two." Lin Yiyi greeted with a smile.

"Mhm." Xu Jing glanced at Lin Yiyi indifferently and ate quietly.

Lin Yiyi paused, then laughed awkwardly: "Junior Sister Xu is still as aloof."

"It's Senior Sister." Xu Jing corrected her.

Lin Yiyi's hand, holding the chopsticks, hung in mid-air, and she finally smiled helplessly:

"That's right, I entered the garden later than you, so you've all become my Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

"Eat, no talking while eating." Xu Jing said.

Lin Yiyi: "..."

Mo Fan: "???"

Mo Fan looked at Xu Jing, then at Lin Yiyi, completely dumbfounded.

How was Xu Jing different from her usual self?

Didn't she usually stutter when she spoke?

Why wasn't she stuttering today?

"Mo, Mo Fan..." Suddenly, Xu Jing looked at Mo Fan.

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan was surprised.

"Your, your egg..." Saying this, Xu Jing picked up the braised egg from her bowl and placed it in Mo Fan's bowl, explaining:

"For, forgot..."

Mo Fan knew what she had forgotten.

She forgot to ask the cafeteria auntie not to add an egg to her bowl.

In fact, most of the time, she didn't forget, but she didn't have the courage to speak up once the egg was in her bowl.

At this point, she could only give the egg to Mo Fan.

But this girl... why did she switch back again?

It was completely different when she was talking to Lin Yiyi just now.

Social anxiety with preferential treatment?

In a flash, Mo Fan quickly finished a large plate of food.

After swallowing a spirit fruit that looked somewhat like a dragon fruit, Mo Fan picked up his tray and left.

Xu Jing was already used to his eating speed.

After spending so much time together, her eating speed was even similar to Mo Fan's.

The moment Mo Fan stood up, Xu Jing also stood up.

The two of them looked at Lin Yiyi at the same time and said in unison: "I'm full, you eat slowly."

After speaking, the two turned and walked towards the tray return area.

Lin Yiyi: "???"

Looking at this incredibly coordinated scene.

She suddenly felt a bit like a third wheel.

Walking out of the cafeteria.

Mo Fan looked at Xu Jing with some curiosity.

Xu Jing lowered her head and whispered: "She, she's a bad person..."

Mo Fan: "Huh?"

"When, when I meet a bad person, I'm not nervous..."

Mo Fan finally understood.

So, I'm a good person?

Why did it feel like he was being given a 'good person' card?

But soon, he seemed to think of something, and he paused, asking intently: "Do you feel this is effective?"

He remembered that Xu Jing didn't stutter when facing Liu Jian either.

However, Xu Jing's interactions with Liu Jian were limited to questions and answers in class, and only a few times.

So Mo Fan hadn't paid much attention to it.

It was only now that he realized.

In addition, Xu Jing also didn't stutter when talking to Steward Shi, who conducted their menial service assessment.

"Not, not very effective..." Xu Jing shook her head.

Hearing this, Mo Fan rolled his eyes.

He probably guessed what was going on.

Whether good or bad, everyone has their own aura.

This was a very profound matter.

If auras clash, it's easy to be at odds, to dislike each other at first sight, and it's difficult to become friends.

Xu Jing and Lin Yiyi were perhaps in this state.

Shaking his head, Mo Fan stopped thinking and said with a smile:

"Let's go, to the Menial Service Yard Management Office. Today is the first, so we can collect our Spirit Stone subsidy."

Hearing this, Xu Jing was momentarily stunned, then her face lit up with joy.

With Spirit Stones, her cultivation progress would speed up considerably!
