Chapter 219: Senior Sister Master’s Teachings
Wu Xian and the others were no fools, naturally understanding what Cui Wenxuan meant by those words.
This world has always been complex.
Some people like to live on their knees, so naturally others like to live standing up.
Or perhaps, due to circumstances and the upper class people’s tyrannical prestige, they are forced to grovel and survive on their knees.
In short: The world has long suffered under upper class people, and a single spark can start a prairie fire.
In resisting upper class people, you hot-blooded young people are not fighting alone.
As long as you dare to challenge, there will naturally be many like-minded people supporting you from behind!
And for Wu Xian.
Even without today’s incident, he would still embark on the path of resisting upper class people.
After all, Old Man Wu Mingchang, as well as his family in this life, were very likely harmed by upper class people.
“How many of you are there?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Cui Wenxuan smiled without speaking.
“Tch~ Old people are just like that, always loving to play coy.” Xue Lingling pouted in annoyance, “The mayor and Old Master Wang are in cahoots with you too, right?”
“Wang Fengnian seems like it,” Cui Wenxuan pondered, “But our mayor… hard to say.”
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be curious: “What do you mean?”
“Logically speaking, these political types are most likely from upper class backgrounds. In fact, the current ruling framework was initially set up by those upper class people,” Cui Wenxuan said, “But our Mayor Chen seems a bit different, and even the whole Yaoyang City seems different.”
“Yaoyang City is different?” Wu Xian was puzzled.
Mayor Chen Shilong hiding things, hiding secrets, that could still be understood.
But what the hell does it mean that Yaoyang City is different?
“I’m not entirely clear on the specifics,” Cui Wenxuan pondered, “But from what I know, Yaoyang City has always been in a state of independent autonomy on the administrative level. Tianfeng Province has always been too lazy to bother with it.
Perhaps that’s also why Yaoyang City’s economic development has never taken off?”
“Independent autonomy?”
Wu Xian and the others exchanged glances, secretly puzzled.
“Hearing you say that, this junior also recalls,” Xue Zhengying said with a reminiscent gaze, “Back in Grandfather’s generation, it seems they mentioned that our Xue Family moved to Yaoyang City precisely because of this point.”
“Huh? There’s such a thing?” Xue Lingling said in surprise, “How come I didn’t know?”
Xue Zhengying smiled, “It wasn’t anything important to begin with. I only heard Grandfather mention it in passing back then. After all, our Xue Family has been here for seven or eight hundred years, and we’ve long treated Yaoyang City as our ancestral land.”
“Looks like we need to re-evaluate our Mayor,” Xue Lingling said thoughtfully.
…
The matter came to a close, but the Wang Family’s issues were far from over.
To be honest, Wu Xian really wanted to lure down those upper class people as soon as possible now, to see what they actually looked like.
Do they also have two shoulders with one head on top?
On the way back to the Underworld Club, Cui Wenxuan was full of enthusiasm, “Hey, little grand-disciple, I’ve already helped with the busywork, so quickly tell this old man what other optimization ideas you have for the Evil Suppressing Immortal Master?”
“Huh?” Wu Xian was baffled.
“Didn’t you hint for this old man to go help at the outpost?” Cui Wenxuan said displeased.
Wu Xian’s expression grew strange as he gradually understood a bit. No wonder Cui Wenxuan had inexplicably gone to help at the outpost—it was because of this.
Gotta say, President Cui had pretty good comprehension.
Though his “comprehension” was a bit off, and the process wasn’t quite right, the result was spot on.
Especially that bite from the “Vicious Dog.”
“Well…” Wu Xian pretended to ponder, putting on a show of deep thought, “The character ‘Immortal’ is fine, the style fits well, but your interpretation of the word ‘Immortal’ doesn’t quite hit the mark.
Also, your concept for the power attribute doesn’t seem quite right.
How should I put it?”
As he spoke, he summoned the Sun Star Lord as an example, “You can reference the attribute characteristics of this scroll painting of mine; it might fit better with the Evil Suppressing Immortal Master.”
“Fire Attribute?” Cui Wenxuan asked, puzzled.
“No, not just Fire Attribute, but the pure Yang attribute from the sun, which this junior calls Pure Yang.” Wu Xian explained, “Or you can simply understand it as an attribute corresponding to the yin energy of lost souls.”
“Pure Yang?” Cui Wenxuan pondered thoughtfully.
He carefully felt the strange attribute power of the Sun Star Lord, seeming to gain some enlightenment.
Then he left the club muttering to himself.
Meanwhile, Wu Xian was dragged by Master Sister to the president’s palace with a serious face.
“Does Master Sister have any instructions?” Wu Xian was baffled.
Xue Lingling huffed, grumpily pulling out the finalized sketch of the Bihai Flower, “Explain yourself. What’s the deal with this new work of yours?”
“Uh,” Wu Xian was immediately embarrassed, “Wasn’t it given to the Network Department? How did it end up in your hands?”
“You’ve got some nerve saying that?” Xue Lingling glared fiercely at Wu Xian, “This is infringing on your master’s portrait rights, got it? Do you know how expensive my endorsement fees are now? Is this something you can just casually put up for sale as a scroll painting?”
Wu Xian was embarrassed and speechless.
“Sigh~” Xue Lingling sighed softly, her maternal glow overflowing as she lectured seriously, “Puberty, huh, when young lads are full of blood qi, it’s normal to develop vague feelings for the opposite sex, but you need to learn to recognize these feelings correctly, not come up with crooked ideas. Got it?”
Thinking of how her good disciple had grown up without parents, relying on his grandfather, it was normal for him to lack in this area.
Poor good disciple.
As the saying goes, once a master, forever a mother. As his master, she had to make up for his education in this aspect.
At least in this matter, she finally felt a strong sense of presence as a master.
Little did she know, Wu Xian was currently thunderstruck, charred on the outside and tender inside.
Master Sister… was giving him sex education!
He, a married man from his previous life, needed lessons from a girl in her twenties?
“You’re right, this disciple will definitely reflect deeply on himself.”
Wu Xian could only feign the obedient student look of someone who had learned his lesson. After all, he was only eighteen now.
But speaking of which, did the Bihai Flower really look like Master Sister that much?
“Good disciple, worthy of teaching,” Xue Lingling looked immensely satisfied, “I remember Third Uncle was quite knowledgeable in this area when he was young. I’ll have him take you out to broaden horizons later, so you don’t go astray.”
“No no no, I can reflect on my own.” Wu Xian laughed wryly.
From the sound of it, Third Master Xue had quite the colorful youth!
“Fine,” Xue Lingling pouted with a smile, “As for this new work of yours, your master will keep it safe for you. You can’t sell it to anyone else in this lifetime, got it?”
“Yes, yes.”
“What are you standing around for? Get to it!” Xue Lingling said grumpily, “You child, why paint anyone else when you could paint your master? Though the name Bihai Flower is pretty good.”
Wu Xian awkwardly began producing the 【Bihai Flower】 Authorized Original Copy on the spot.
Looks like the plan to counter Plant Element with Bihai Flower was busted, but fortunately, he had other ideas, so no need to fixate on countermeasures at the Undead System level.
Xue Lingling watched with great interest from the side, seeming quite satisfied with the Bihai Flower’s image.
During the drawing process, Wu Xian couldn’t help but curiously ask Master Sister, “By the way, when did you first feel your heart flutter back then?”
“Never,” Xue Lingling said righteously, “From the day this master inherited the ancestral inheritance, I dedicated my youth to the family.”
“…”
Wu Xian was a bit speechless but didn’t ask further.
Thinking about it, it made sense. In a place like the Undead Dojo where they were constantly excluded, it was indeed hard to feel your heart flutter.
