Zhuo Feng listened, and then moved the pot of Begonia over to take a look. She also exclaid a few tis, puzzled at first, but then suddenly beca overjoyed, "I told you, I really have a talent for this. Even the Begonia that I randomly tended to before looks so vibrant. Let’s just move it over there."
The Begonia, standing about ten centiters tall, was full of yellowish pubescent axillary buds, from each of which several plump flower buds protruded.
In the early spring, when warmth suddenly turns to chill, it captures peoples’ affections at first glance.
Zhuo Feng’s worries were temporarily solved, but Xiao Xian’s troubles were just beginning.
From the first day of school, from class ti to self-study in the evening, Xiao Xian was completely surrounded by various gossips and whispers. The most annoying part was that those rumors were all about her.
After being exaggerated and spiced up by Zhang Yiyi’s mouth, when the gossip reached Xiao Xian again, it turned into the following content:
"Wang Ke overdosed on drugs, it’s said that he died because the overdose was too severe, and the failed rescue happened just the day before the school started."
"Basketball team’s Zhu Xiaoxian ssed up in romantic relationships, two-timing with two people, watching movies with Mao Yi on days 1, 3, 5, and shopping with Qu Yang on days 2, 4, 6. One Sunday, by mistake, Mao Yi and Zeng bumped into each other, which led to a fight, ultimately with Qu Yang losing out. So, lately Qu Yang has been gloomy and practicing basketball alone on the sports field."
"Tell , is it true?" After saying this, Zhang Yiyi almost drooled, waiting for Xiao Xian’s response.
"Which incident? I’ve already told you the whole story. It was Mao Yi who approached to help with the street basketball ga. Xuerou can vouch for that," Xiao Xian passed the ball to Zeng Xuerou.
Since Zeng Xuerou tutored Zhang Yiyi in her studies, Zhang had developed a fear towards Xuerou not unlike that towards a teacher. With Xuerou’s help, Zhang Yiyi was able to present a barely acceptable final report card and had a peaceful year.
After much persuasion and comforting, Zhang Yiyi returned to her dormitory. But who knew that the dorm would not settle down even at midnight, the noise from the three girls incessant like boiling porridge. It wasn’t until midnight, when there were only sleep talks and steady breathing left in the dorm, that Xiao Xian finally left.
The entire campus was empty and quiet. Xiao Xian confird the security patrol route, then chose the Sacred Heart Middle School’s artificial lake as the place for practice.
You might ask, practice what?
Xiao Xian took out a pair of scissors from her chest, dark and glossy, under the moonlight, only the character "i" shone brightly.
During the day, not able to get the details from Zhuo Feng’s lips, i Nian wouldn’t associate the scissors with the important item from the i Family at a glance.
The Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors originated from a rare material in the present continent. Neither copper nor iron, despite searching all earth’s elent tables, its composition remained unidentified.
It’s said to be a special crystal ford by the collision of two teors from outer space; tons of teorites could only form a palm-sized teor crystal.
The ancestors of ijia Village acquired such a palm-sized teor crystal by chance, and not knowing what to craft from it - in fact, no one found a way to process it. Thus, from its discovery to being worshipped inside ijia Village, it took a thousand years with no one managing to forge it into a useful appliance.
Until the ergence of i Xiang, the most distinguished genius of ijia Village for thousands of years, who t Bai Juyi. To prevent potential harm to Bai Juyi by i family mbers in the future, she took the extrely precious teor crystal away.
i Xiang, as a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy of the i Family, had achievents that were not due to her talent but her willingness to explore and try. Having lived through tis of war and peace, i believed that on the Mainland China, with its five-thousand-year-old ancient culture, she could find a person or a thod to lt down the teor crystal and forge her favorite immortal artifact.
For that teor crystal, unaware Bai Juyi along with her, traveled from the south to the north, from snowy mountains to deserts, and finally found an active volcano in Xinjiang.
Using thousands of degrees of heat from the volcano, the teor crystal finally lted. Then, by using the everlasting ice of Tianshan Peak for cooling forging, thinking of her lover Bai Juyi who lacked a good pair of floral scissors, i Xiang self-indulgently created that unremarkable pair of scissors.
