Chapter 812: Chapter 812: The Night of Splitting Stones
Xiao ng thought it over and felt that Qin Sisi made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay then, I’ll talk to the canteen staff and see if I can get you those foods. If I can, I’ll leave them in your room."
"Great," Qin Sisi replied with a smile, nodding her head.
Actually, for a friend to have co this far was already quite sothing. The hardest paths in life, after all, had to be walked alone.
Worried, Xiao ng gave Qin Sisi another look, knowing she really couldn’t offer much help either, and left with Yun Cheng.
Qin Sisi stood in the empty classroom, but her heart settled into calmness. All alone, without anything to rely on or to worry about, her only choice was a fight with her back to the wall.
Looking at the two large rocks at her feet, she summoned the power of magic, lifted her palm, concentrated her energy, and the illusory spiritual power transford into a sharp black blade that she heavily swung down.
However, Qin Sisi had almost exerted all her strength, and yet the large rocks remained intact.
Looking at the obstinate rocks, she clenched her fists tightly. Good, bring it on, I refuse to believe I can’t break you!
If once doesn’t work, then twice. If twice doesn’t work, then four tis, even ten tis, twenty tis, a hundred tis...
After a very long ti, Qin Sisi always rembered that dark and lonely night.
The teachers and classmates had all left, and she was the only one standing in the silent classroom, repeatedly chopping at the two large rocks.
Giving it her all, never yielding, despite being in a sorry state.
"What should I do if I still haven’t completed the Gold Attribute Magic task when dawn breaks and the new magic lessons are about to start?"
Qin Sisi asked herself in her heart.
On the lonely night, it wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about giving up, or that she hadn’t doubted her decision. But the movents of her hands never paused by the slightest bit.
When she was too exhausted to go on, Qin Sisi took a Spirit Revitalizing Pill left by Ye You and then continued splitting rocks.
As the night deepened and a chill began to fill the air, persistence paid off. With Qin Sisi’s continuous efforts, the two large rocks were finally split open.
Looking down at the four halves of the rocks at her feet, Qin Sisi stared for a long ti. Then she slowly turned her head to look out the window; it was still not light, the outside was still enveloped in darkness.
In the pitch-black night, Qin Sisi suddenly cried tears of joy. From that mont on, she resolved to cast aside all her concerns and doubts, to march on without turning back, no longer looking back.
Carrying her extrely weary body, she returned to her room in Tianyue Mountain, imdiately climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep, her mind a complete blur without any strength left even for aimless thoughts.
But it felt to Qin Sisi as if she had just fallen asleep when she was startled awake by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
Forcing her eyes open, she realized it was already light outside, and hurried to the door to open it. Sure enough, it was Xiao ng outside.
"Sister Sisi, are you okay? What ti did you co back last night? I didn’t hear you," Xiao ng imdiately asked with concern upon seeing Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi rubbed her temples, half-asleep and half-awake, and replied, "I don’t know, probably late at night!"
"Did you et Teacher Wuduo’s requirents?" Xiao ng asked cautiously.
Qin Sisi nodded and said with a wry smile, "Of course, otherwise how could I dare to co back?"
Xiao ng finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin Sisi had sneaked away without completing her task, things would have been troubleso.
"Let’s go have sothing to eat, we have to attend classes on Tianmu Mountain later." Hearing that Qin Sisi had fulfilled the requirents, Xiao ng’s mood lightened, and she cheerfully suggested.
Qin Sisi really wanted to sleep a bit longer, but knowing that it was impossible, she nodded her head, changed her clothes, and prepared to walk to the dining hall with Xiao ng.
On the way, Xiao ng told Qin Sisi, "Yesterday afternoon, I tried to take so food out of the dining hall for you, but that elderly woman wouldn’t allow it. She said als should be eaten hot and vegetables fresh, that they’d lose their goodness if left too long. She refused to let
take any, saying you could co and eat whenever your class ended. I was going to wait for you and tell you, but I fell asleep before you returned."
Xiao ng’s tone carried a hint of apology. Qin Sisi smiled and responded, "It’s okay, I did co back really late, and I was so tired last night all I wanted was to sleep early. Even if you had told , I wouldn’t have gone to eat."
Just knowing that Xiao ng cared so much made Qin Sisi feel warm inside.
After paying one low-grade Spirit Stone, the two entered the dining hall. The dishes were similar to those of the previous day, though the variety of vegetables differed slightly.
Qin Sisi and Xiao ng each picked a golden rice cake, filled a bowl with porridge, and took several small dishes of vegetables, finding seats opposite each other to sit down.
Just as Qin Sisi bit into her golden rice cake, the elderly woman who had eaten Teacher Ya Ling’s grilled Blasting Rabbit and kicked Ya Ling out of the dining hall the day before, shuffled over with a raspy voice, "Why didn’t you co to dinner last night?"
Qin Sisi was stunned for a mont before belatedly realizing the old lady was speaking to her.
Recalling the ease with which the elderly woman had dealt with Ya Ling in the battle yesterday, Qin Sisi quickly stood up and respectfully replied, "I only completed the task late in the second half of the night, so it was too late to co."
Though she had responded, Qin Sisi found it strange: why would an elderly woman care whether a student ate their al or not?
A snicker carried over from not far away, "All that for a re task, to be working until the latter half of the night, so people are really quite foolish."
Qin Sisi knew without looking who it was – the second young miss of the Qing Ming Family.
She frowned, ignoring the comnt and cautiously observed the elderly woman before her.
The elderly woman ignored Ya Ling as well, staring at Qin Sisi with her clouded eyes, "I waited for you the whole night."
Qin Sisi was startled and quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were waiting for ."
The elderly woman looked at Qin Sisi for a while longer, then slowly took out a paper-wrapped package from behind her and handed it over, saying, "This is an Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon; I stewed it all night. Eat it while it’s hot!"
Qin Sisi stared blankly at the paper package, hesitating to take it.
Such kindness from a complete stranger made her wary.
Xiao ng, who was hearing the na Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon for the first ti, imdiately stretched her neck and stared intently at the paper package, licking her lips.
She had heard from her sister that such pigeons were extrely delicious, and they possessed high spiritual qualities.
Seeing Qin Sisi hesitant to take it, the elderly woman opened the package herself, tore off a pigeon leg, took a bite, and with her cheeks puffed, her speech muffled, said, "Now, do you dare to eat?"
In such a situation, Qin Sisi felt it would be rude to refuse outright, so she said, "Thank you, Granny," and accepted the Illusory Colored Dream Pigeon.
Seeing this, the elderly woman turned and prepared to leave.
Qin Sisi called after her, asking, "May I ask how to address you, Granny?"
Nobody would be unreasonably kind to a stranger, and Qin Sisi felt this must have sothing to do with Ye You. She wanted to know the elderly woman’s na so she could later ask Ye You about her.
