"Lu Ping, get up and go to class."
"Sleep for another five minutes."
"Get up!"
Whoosh! Sunlight shone on Lu Ping's body.
"Ah!!!" The scream pierced through the clouds, shattering Lu Ping's drowsiness. Then, Su Tang slammed the door and roared, "What conditions do you need to sleep naked?!"
"What conditions do I need to sleep naked?" Lu Ping mumbled, finally getting up. Once he stood on the ground, the small room seemed even more cramped. Lu Ping picked up some clothes from the bedside and put them on while staring at the broken door that Su Tang had slammed.
Creak! Creak! The broken door was shaking. Lu Ping couldn't bear to see it, and he closed his eyes.
Bang …
The door fell down, leaning pitifully against the wall.
"What a strong woman." Lu Ping sighed. He didn't care about the door at all. He put his shirt on his shoulder and jumped out of the window.
The sky was blue and the sun was shining. Outside the window was a flowerbed, exuding waves of fragrance. Lu Ping walked in the fragrance and looked around. Finally, his eyes lit up.
"It's here!" Lu Ping walked forward excitedly. He bent down to pick up the hose that watered the flowerbed and sprinkled the water on himself.
The cold spring water from Xiafeng Lake made Lu Ping feel refreshed, driving away the last trace of sleepiness. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Lu Ping threw the water pipe aside. A scream pierced his eardrums again.
"Lu Ping!!!" Master Gardener Mo Sen, who was in charge of Zhenfeng College's 22 gardens, stood beside the flowerbed angrily.
"Oh, it's Teacher Mo. Good morning!" Lu Ping didn't seem to notice Mo Sen's anger.
"My Fire Lotus!" Mo Sen roared. The Six Spirits had a total of seventeen layers of Heaven. The killing intent released by an expert who had broken through the Chong Spirit could even be felt by the insects in the flowerbeds. Behind him, the verdant forest on both sides of the tree-lined road was even more startled by it.
Lu Ping didn't seem to notice anything. He asked in surprise, "Where?"
"Under your feet …"
"Ah?" Lu Ping lowered his head and moved his foot. As expected, he saw a budding fire lotus that had been trampled by him. This Fire Lotus was a very rare species. It was not easy to transplant it from the water to the land. But now, it had been stepped on like a bun by Lu Ping.
"Get out." When Mo Sen saw the fire lotus that looked like a steamed bun, his heart ached so much that he didn't even care about being angry. He hurriedly rushed into the flowerbed and knelt in front of the fire lotus, carefully examining its roots.
"Is it all right?" Lu Ping squatted down and moved closer. He was paying close attention to it.
"Disappear, or die!" Mo Sen's killing intent was ready to be unleashed.
"I'll disappear." Lu Ping quickly retreated. On the famous tree-lined avenue of Zhenfeng College, Lu Ping waved in greeting when he saw Su Tang walking towards him angrily.
"You …" Su Tang was stunned. He didn't understand why Lu Ping had appeared in front of him. But when he turned to look at the small house, he saw Teacher Mo Sen lying on the ground pitifully with his butt in the air. He immediately understood.
Glaring at Lu Ping, Su Tang quickly walked to Teacher Mo Sen's side.
"Teacher Mo Sen, he didn't do it on purpose. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Mo Sen stood up. He didn't even bother to brush off the dirt on his body. He let out a long sigh. The Fire Lotus's roots were fine. His anger had mostly dissipated. After all, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened. He was really numb to it. If the precious Fire Lotus hadn't been stepped on, he might not even have had the strength to vent his anger. As Lu Ping passed through the flowerbed, he didn't only trample on the Water Lotus, but Mo Sen didn't even spare a glance at the others.
Mo Sen felt even more helpless about Su Tang's explanation. That brat, of course he didn't do it on purpose. He didn't even care about it. How could it be intentional? But it was hard for a good kid like Su Tang. He had to clean up the mess for that useless guy.
It wasn't worth it!
Mo Sen truly felt that Su Tang wasn't worth it. It wasn't just him. In the entire Zhenfeng College, only those who were jealous of Su Tang's talent would be happy to see her dragged down by Lu Ping. If there was no Lu Ping, if Su Tang could devote herself to cultivation, with her talent, her current realm …
Hmm? Realm?
At the thought of this, Mo Sen vaguely sensed something. The Spirit of Charge, which was connected to the Heroic Spirit, circulated. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sixth Heaven? The Spirit of Strength, Sixth Heaven! Your Spirit of Strength has already broken through to the Sixth Heaven? "Mo Sen was almost at a loss for words. The Sixth Heaven was the pinnacle of cultivation for a single spirit. Su Tang was only fifteen years old. It had only been three years since he started cultivating in Zhenfeng College. But now, his Spirit of Strength had already reached the Sixth Heaven. This was unprecedented in the history of Zhenfeng College. As for Mo Sen himself, he had reached the Sixth Heaven realm through the Spirit of Charge. It had taken him almost seven years. Just this alone was already much more outstanding than many people. He had always been proud of himself. But now, compared to Su Tang, he lagged behind Su Tang by more than two times. Moreover, he remembered that he had been completely focused on cultivation. There wasn't a troublesome guy like Lu Ping who needed to be distracted.
"Amazing! The Spirit of Strength, you actually reached the Sixth Heaven so quickly! "After seeing Su Tang nod in confirmation, Mo Sen finally recovered from his shock. At this moment, he suddenly made up his mind. This kind of outstanding aptitude and talent, he really couldn't watch it go to waste.
"Su Tang, answer a question for me." Mo Sen's expression suddenly became incomparably solemn.
"Yes." Su Tang saw that Mo Sen's solemn expression was a little strange. But he didn't show it, and only responded respectfully.
"If one day, your father and mother fell into the water at the same time, and you could only save one, who would you save?" Mo Sen said.
Su Tang was stunned.
"I know that you are an orphan. This is only a hypothesis." Mo Sen said.
"But this question …"
"This question is very shameful, isn't it?" Mo Sen said. He rolled his eyes and intentionally brought Lu Ping, who was standing on the side of the road, into the conversation. "But have you ever thought that we can't avoid such cruel choices in our lives? You don't have a way out. You have to give up something. Hesitation or ambiguity will only lead to an even more unfortunate result. "
Su Tang was silent. She already understood why Teacher Mo Sen asked this question.
Give up. A cruel, but necessary, sacrifice.
Su Tang knew what Mo Sen was hinting at. Since entering Zhenfeng College three years ago, from her tutors to her classmates, there were too many people who advised her to stay away from Lu Ping. Because Lu Ping was useless, and Su Tang was so smart and outstanding, Lu Ping would become her burden, a burden that would become heavier and heavier.
But in reality, you are all wrong! And even if it is what you think, I will never abandon Lu Ping for the sake of my future. On this point, Su Tang did not hesitate.
"Your lives, from the moment you enter Zhenfeng College, are destined to go in different directions," Mo Sen continued. He did not deliberately lower his voice, but deliberately wanted to let Lu Ping, who was not far behind him, hear him. He knew the relationship between Su Tang and Lu Ping. These two children were orphans who depended on each other since childhood. Three years ago, when the dean went out, he brought them back to the college.
In the entire mainland, there were more than four hundred colleges, each of which was a cultivation institution that could change a person's life. The colleges themselves had a very strict selection mechanism. Those who had the opportunity to enter any college would work hard. No matter what their final achievements were, they would eventually push their life to a new height. But Lu Ping was an exception. He had been in the college for three years, but he did not pass the annual exams twice. He had been held back for two consecutive years, and was still a first-year student. According to the rules of Zhenfeng College, students who did not pass the annual exams three times would be expelled from the college.
This rule of Zhenfeng College could be said to be very lenient. If it had been any other academy with a strict academic system, a guy like Lu Ping would have been expelled within a month. Now that the third annual exam was approaching, Mo Sen's eyes, which could see the existence of soul power after he had broken through the Dual Charge Soul Spirit, could not see any possibility of passing Lu Ping.
If Lu Ping was expelled from the college, what about Su Tang?
Mo Sen's intuition gave him the answer. If Su Tang had to make a cruel decision to abandon him, she would definitely not abandon Lu Ping. Mo Sen could see the determination in Su Tang's eyes.
This made him admire Su Tang even more. Although he was very willing to see Su Tang distancing herself from Lu Ping, if this was really Su Tang's own choice, he would really be a little disappointed.
But now, what he saw in Su Tang was not only talent and hard work, but also a good character.
He hoped that Lu Ping could see all of this. He hoped that Lu Ping would think about how much Su Tang had sacrificed for him. He hoped that Lu Ping would think about what he should do for Su Tang's good.
Mo Sen turned around and looked straight at Lu Ping who was standing by the side of the avenue. At this time, Su Tang also realized that Teacher Mo Sen's words were actually all for Lu Ping to hear. She smiled and hid behind Mo Sen, secretly making a face at Lu Ping who was standing by the side of the road.
"En!" Lu Ping nodded his head vigorously, "Teacher Mo Sen's teachings are right. Su Tang, do you hear me? You must continue to work harder. Only like this, when you are faced with this kind of cruel and shameful choice, will you have the strength to make the perfect choice. No matter what, you must not give up! "
Mo Sen's expression instantly turned cold. Lu Ping's solemn face, in his eyes, was simply like that of a devil. He was wrong. He actually had illusions about Lu Ping's character. This shameless guy who had dragged Su Tang down for three years, who only knew how to take without giving, had already made up his mind to pester Su Tang. He had built his hopes on Su Tang's destruction. He was a downright despicable and shameless leech, a parasite.
Killing intent!
This time, Mo Sen's heart really raised his killing intent. This despicable guy, did he really think that everyone was helpless against him? No, that was only because everyone always had a glimmer of hope in him. But now, in Mo Sen's view, the lenient rules of Zhenfeng College were simply a waste on this guy. This kind of scum, there was simply no need for him to live.
Killing intent was revealed for a moment. This time, even the insects and birds were not alarmed.
Because this time, Mo Sen had really made up his mind, not just to vent his anger. His killing intent was quickly concealed. He did not intend to make a move immediately. For the sake of Su Tang, he was determined to give Lu Ping a more dignified death.
"Alright, you two go." Mo Sen waved his hand, indicating for the two to leave.
"Teacher Mo Sen, the way from the window to here …" Su Tang brought up this matter again.
"Then wait until he can pass this exam!" Mo Sen said.
