Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 8

Creator - PhantasmaEditor - Owner
Disdain flashed through Cheng Lingsu's eyes. In the past, she used to adore Jiang Xiu very much because he used to run quite fast when they were around the age of 3. She couldn't catch up to him even if she chased after him with her all. Crying and chasing at that time, she used to believe that Big Brother Jiang Xiu was very impressive and no one could surpass him. Only later did she discover that Jiang Xiu was nothing but a pile of mud in her ridiculous childhood.
There was also that relationship between them. This made Cheng Lingsu feel very awkward. The funny part was that he had even vowed solemnly that he'd surely take good care of her.
With what exactly would he take care of her? He just didn't realise that the circumstances of their families gradually made their relationship drift apart too much. Actually, Jiang Xiu had a good nature. He was quiet and also prudent.
The girl sighed. Under the guidance of the giant ship called Fate, and with your family's situation as well as your skills, we can only become ordinary friends, perhaps even strangers who'd never deal with each other.
Since it's like this, I have to make him understand that he has no chance of becoming the Cheng family's son-in-law. He will forever be just a stranger. Then he won't have the nerve to use my Cheng family's resources.
This is also for his own good, isn't that so? Rather than letting him sink into an unrealistic dream, it's better to wake him up from it and make him understand how his future life will be.
Jiang Xiu was a boarding student, so he returned to his dorm after classes.
First, he changed out of the Golf Series Adidas sportswear. These were Ye Bing's father's clothes. Although the former was probably better, it was something that could make the wearer feel uncomfortable.
He looked for the clothes he used to wear during his high school time. It was like Jiang Xiu lived a generation behind. All of his clothes were street goods. Wearing those plain traditional embroidered clothes, he didn't feel that they didn't look good but instead thought they were quite nice.
After wearing them, he looked at himself in the wear. Indeed, fine clothes make the man. Despite being an overlord of the Immortal Martial Continent, the grand Heaven Treading Sect's Sect Master, titled Deity Xiu, Jiang Xiu, forthwith returned to being a loser. That dense 'loser' aura was really too evident.
The cell phone on his bed started ringing suddenly. Phones weren't allowed in the classroom but they could be brought to the school. Usually, all the boarding students kept their phones in their dorm rooms so that it wouldn't influence their studies. However, many of them still broke the rules and took their phones to the classroom. Jiang Xiu only had one phone, and even though it was pretty worn out, it was still usable. And he used it to call his home.
"Hmm? Cheng Lingsu!" The caller id was 'Susu'. Jiang Xiu was pretty astonished that she took the initiative to call him. After pondering a bit, he decided to answer the call.
"Hello?"
Deity Xiu's deep and rich voice went through.
"Jiang Xiu, we need to meet!"
The voice on the other side was charming, but the tone ice-cold.
"Alright!" Jiang Xiue responded. "This Deity is in the dorm, come over."
The voice on the other side became silent. Even after a while, Cheng Lingsu didn't speak anything. She didn't wish for other students to know they knew each other and also didn't want them to find their relationship. She had called Jiang Xiu with the intention of breaking up but didn't expect him to counter her using such a move.
If she, a schoolgirl, were to go to the boy's dorm to find Jiang Xiu, wouldn't that be declaring to the entire school that they knew each other and that their relationship wasn't ordinary?
Jiang Xiu's eyes smiled coldly. You think this Deity is the same Jiang Xiu as before?
That this Deity will do whatever you say and dote on you very much?
Ignorant and Stupid!
"It'll be inconvenient for me to come there. You come out."
Jiang Xiu said, "Aaah, this Deity doesn't have the time!"
If it were the previous Jiang Xiu, he'd have jumped up 3 feet high in happiness and made an appointment with her no matter what the circumstances, but this time, he had refused very adamantly.
Jiang Xiu really didn't have the time. He wanted to cultivate. Now that a little bit of spiritual force had entered his body, he wanted to set foot on the path of cultivating to immortality again. The outside world didn't have much spiritual force, so he could only force it out from within the bloodline.
He wanted to perform Bloodline Awakening!
It went silent on the other side of the call again.
Cheng Lingsu had currently already arrived at Thousand Feathers and Hopes. She never thought Jiang Xiu would refuse her and that too so firmly. From the beginning of the call, she could feel that he was quite cold towards her. She was actually bored of his passion whenever she took the initiative to call him, but it was different today.
"I won't take much of your time, just 5 minutes."
As she said that, Cheng Lingsu felt strange. Why do my words… and tone seem like I'm begging him? Am I insane?
"Can you cook?" Jiang Xiu asked.
Why's he mentioning this?
The grand young lady of the Cheng family, she had plenty of servants at home, and there were plenty of high-level hotels outside. So what was the use of learning to cook? "No!" She immediately replied.
"So you can't cook, then, can you do laundry?" Jiang Xiu asked again.
There were servants at home and dry cleaners outside; that aside, Young Lady Cheng never wore clothes thrice as after wearing them twice, they'd become history.
Mhmm. Something's wrong!
Young Lady Cheng was pretty perceptive and immediately realised what was wrong. All the questions Jiang Xiu asked were things she wasn't good at. She could neither cook nor do laundry. These were things schoolgirl's disliked the most. Not to mention, she felt as if she as being ignored and even looked down on so she reacted immediately: "I naturally can. Why did you ask this?"
Jiang Xiu noticed the pile of unwashed underwear lying on his bed and said "Okay then. Where shall we meet?"
"Thousand Feathers and Hopes, Beitang Rd."
"This Deity will arrive on time!"
Since a servant had delivered herself, there was no need for him to bother with it.
At Thousand Feathers and Hopes. Cheng Lingsu quietly sat there with a cup of coffee in front of her, sipping in small amounts. Her exposure rate at the high school was pretty high, and many people knew her. Therefore, she had arranged this time's meeting at Beitang Rd. which was 20 minutes away from school via a bus route to avoid running into other students or her acquaintances.
Although he had left for 3000 years, this was Jiang Xiu's birthplace, and he had lived here. Naturally, it'd be impossible for Deity Xiu to get lost. In 20 minutes, he had arrived at the entrance of Thousand Feathers and Hopes.
The girl had taken note of him when he arrived and waved her snowy lily-white hands at him "Over here!"
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, he was perfectly calm.
He wasn't angry anymore and also didn't harbour any hard feelings.
"You came!"
Jiang Xiu sat right in front of her immediately with a lofty manner: "Since this Deity gave his words, I'd naturally come." Conveniently, he placed a bag under the dining table.
Cheng Lingsu smiled slightly.
"What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Xiu said: "The guest shall follow the wishes of the host. Since you've asked me to come today, you must have something important to talk about?"
Cheng Lingsu thought that the way he spoke so eruditely was really ridiculous. Even still he's using ancient language? Did you do this to attract my attention because I'll feel curious towards your behaviour? You're too naive.
"You order."
Cheng Lingsu handed the menu over to him. This was a steak restaurant and couldn't be compared to the steak sold in street stalls for a few spare changes of money. This place was one of the highest-level restaurants in the city, and all the cooks were Frenchmen.
The price of fillet steak on the menu was 1888 RMB!
Cheng Lingsu knew that the Jiang Xiu's living expenses every month was only 300 RMB. In other words, if he didn't eat nor drink for half-a-year, he's able to eat this piece of steak. She even added by saying, "Don't worry about the money since I'll be paying!"
It was bare naked taunting!
Jiang Xiu's face was expressionless. "Alright then. I'll order the Meal Set A."
Cheng Lingsu spoke to the waiter with a gentle and courteous tone, "One Meal Set A and Meal Set B, thank you!"
"Okay. Please wait for a while."
"You didn't call me here today just to have dinner, right?" Jiang Xiu spoke.
In the previous timeline, it was frankly a luxury for him to have food along with the girl opposite to him.
"I heard that you caused trouble at school today, beating up the Director of Student Affairs, Teacher Wang and even injured him heavily."
Actually, she had specially ordered someone to look up Director Wang's injuries.
He had 12 stitches on his head and suffered a cerebral concussion with a set of broken ribs and also several bruises all over him. This was already enough to make Jiang Xiu's actions a crime.
"Yep!" Jiang Xiu admitted.
Cheng Lingsu furrowed her brows "Did you think over the consequences at that time?"
"The school will not only expel you, but you'll also have to face imprisonment. A 3-5 years sentence."
Jiang Xiu stayed silent just as before.
"What's your plan?" Seeing Jiang Xiu behaviour which seemed to say that he didn't give a damn about this matter, Cheng Lingsu felt quite angry. Who gave you the courage to act this carefree? Isn't it the Cheng family.
"Jiang Xiu, you weren't like this in your childhood…" Cheng Lingsu wanted to speak out one of his previous good points, but regretfully, please excuse the incompetence of Young Lady Cheng, she really couldn't find one. After all, she couldn't say that 'You used to run pretty fast in your childhood.'
"This is the last time my Cheng family will help you. From now on, our families will part ways."
"Let's end this relationship between us!"
"Rescind the Engagement!"
