Chapter 153: Ice in a Jade Kettle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan was still a bit angry that Chu Ci, a defense-type spirit qi professional, had actually injured herself in a battle with her seniors, causing her to fracture her arm.
If she wanted to practice her combat skills, she could have just gone to climb the Star Tower and fight.
Lin Yuan had not seen Chu Ci for a few months. When he saw her, he vented out the yearning he had been suppressing.
When Lin Yuan had suffered Cheng Wu’s sneak attack and was on the brink of death, all he could think of was Chu Ci, his only kin. As her older brother, if Lin Yuan really died, Chu Ci would have nobody to rely on.
Upon seeing Chu Ci’s pitiful face, her big, clear eyes, as well as her calling him in a sweet tone, Lin Yuan knew that she was using the same trick. However, he could do nothing about it. His anger due to his worry dissipated.
Lin Yuan was a carefree person. When facing his only kin, Chu Ci, the double standard was inevitable.
If other defense-type spirit qi professionals like Chu Ci fought with their seniors and worked hard to improve their offensive skills, Lin Yuan would certainly give them a thumbs-up and praise them immediately.
After all, the Star Web’s combat training techniques were less practical than actual combat, which was also why the school’s live combat classes were not on Star Web.
In Lin Yuan’s opinion, it was unrealistic to not get injured in actual combat. Nevertheless, when it concerned Chu Ci, he did not think so.
The moment he saw Chu Ci walking over with her hands, which would hurt even when she walked, hanging at her sides, Lin Yuan started feeling distressed and activated the Silver Fantasy Breed Jasmine Lily’s Heal ability.
A beam of green light filled with vitality shone on Chu Ci’s injured left arm. As the green light flowed, Chu Ci felt an indescribable comfort surrounding her arm.
A moment later, Chu Ci realized that her arm did not hurt anymore. She tried moving her arm and said in surprise, “Lin Yuan, when did you become a healing-type spirit qi professional?”
Chu Ci previously only knew that Lin Yuan had the talents to become a Creation Master, but she did not expect him to be a healing-type spirit qi professional as well.
She hurriedly ran to Lin Yuan’s side and happily observed Lin Yuan’s hand that had cast the healing energy.
Chu Ci usually missed Lin Yuan the most when she was learning in school, and after she knew that his body had recovered, her worries were gone. She was happy on his behalf, whether he was a Creation Master or a spirit qi professional, but she valued his health the most.
It was just like how Lin Yuan worried about her injury.
In Chu Ci’s heart, Lin Yuan was a giant that had always been protecting her. The word ‘older brother’ would always be the most sacred and powerful in her heart.
Chu Ci only had a vague impression of her parents, as she was still young when they had gone to fend off against the dimensional rift, not to ever return.
Therefore, even when Lin Yuan was physically weak, he still managed the fey store. No matter how hard it was, he still clenched his teeth to support his family and her education.
Whenever something good happened to Lin Yuan, Chu Ci would be happier than when something ten times better happened to her—such dependence for over ten years was indescribable.
Although it was late autumn in Redbud City, it was still hot, but there was some wind. This autumn wind blew a strand of Chu Rui’s hair apart and made one stand of her foolish hair stand up, which Lin Yuan hurriedly pressed down.
Chu Ci had relatively hard hair from a young age. Every autumn, some strands of foolish hair would always stand up when the wind blew. And every time Lin Yuan saw it, he would skillfully press them down.
“Do you still have any classes today?”
Chu Ci replied after thinking for a while, “I’m supposed to have live combat classes in the afternoon, but since I’ve fractured my arm, I should be resting in my dorm.”
Lin Yuan handed the fruits he was carrying to Chu Ci and said, “Then I’ll accompany you to ask for leave from Teacher Bao.”
Even though Chu Ci could rest in the dorm and did not need to go to the live combat class in the afternoon due to her fracture, her arm was now healed. Thus, it was necessary to inform Chu Ci’s homeroom teacher. After all, Lin Yuan believed that they should adhere to the school rules.
Lin Yuan wanted to give the fruits to Teacher Bao as well.
Soon, they arrived at Teacher Bao’s office, knocked on the door, and went in. Lin Yuan saw Teacher Bao sitting at his desk and writing something.
After taking a closer look, he realized that the thick book was actually a lesson plan.
Teacher Bao was a Spiritual Ingredient Analyst teacher and taught theoretical knowledge.
Lin Yuan saw the thick book of lesson plans that Teacher Bao was writing and knew that he had made a lot of efforts to make it easier for the students he taught to understand the lesson.
When Teacher Bao saw Lin Yuan beside Chu Rui, he obviously froze for a moment and looked carefully before confirming Lin Yuan’s identity.
Chu Ci and Lin Yuan had been together for over ten years. No matter how one looked at it, they were the closest to each other.
Although Lin Yuan’s temperament had changed greatly, Chu Ci did not feel there was any difference. This was because Lin Yuan was the best in every way in her heart.
However, Teacher Bao had only met Lin Yuan twice and was a little afraid to recognize him. The young man in front of him was cheerful and handsome with a distinguished temperament. It was not too much to say that he was outstanding.
After confirming Lin Yuan’s identity, he nodded and said in a solemn tone as he looked at Chu Ci’s hand, “Chu Ci has exceptional talent. She became a C-rank spirit qi professional last week, but she has suffered a severe arm fracture. You have to pay attention to that. If you can prepare some spiritual ingredients to speed up the healing process, coupled with the school doctor’s treatment, you can enhance her recovery speed.”
If Chu Ci’s fracture could be healed earlier, she could train as early as possible and not waste her excellent talent. It was very important for spirit qi professionals to have a foundation at a young age.
Chu Ci raised her hands and said to Teacher Bao with a smile, “Teacher Bao, my brother has healed my hand.”
She did not think there was anything wrong with her words, but Teacher Bao could not help but look at Lin Yuan in surprise.
Teacher Bao did not expect that Lin Yuan would be a healing-type spirit qi professional with such potent healing abilities that could heal bone injuries.
He had always been a serious person, but when he saw Chu Ci’s hand had healed, he could not help but wear a smile on his face. The smile on his wrinkled face made his serious face look a bit more benevolent.
Lin Yuan told Teacher Bao his purpose for coming, so Teacher Bao waved his hand and allowed Chu Ci to take leave.
Before leaving, Lin Yuan asked Chu Ci to place the fruits on Teacher Bao’s desk. However, before Lin Yuan could say anything, Teacher Bao handed the fruits back and said, “As her guardian, you picked Chu Ci up and still bought fruits. Take them away. I have to write lesson plans.”
Then, he continued writing up the lesson plans.
Lin Yuan did not mention leaving the fruits for Teacher Bao. Instead, he left the office with Chu Ci.
There were always some of the most honorable people in this world who taught and educated others without expecting anything in return.
As the saying went, “Silvery hair sets off against the sun and moon, and loyalty and passion irrigate the new flowers.”
Teacher Bao had probably forgotten about the help he had given to Chu Ci in the past. Although Teacher Bao was not very strong and was just an ordinary person among the masses, he always did things like ice in a jade kettle1, shining with the light of greatness.
