Alright, it seems that sohow I've inexplicably beco a lazy, unmotivated student in the eyes of my classmates.
Even Wang Haoran thinks so...
Qin Tian was speechless, and just as he was about to scold Wang Haoran, Feili Xue, standing next to him, started to speak: "Student Wang Haoran, you say Qin Tian loves to study, but my class has been going on for five days now, and he hasn't attended the first four. Do you call that loving to study?"
"Teacher Fei, Qin Tian likes to self-study. That's where he was. I can swear on my conscience that Qin Tian wasn't skipping class to play gas but to read and practice. He was studying."
Wang Haoran spoke sincerely, genuinely speaking up for Qin Tian.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, after attending a few classes at the start of the sester, he told
he wasn't learning much in class and felt self-study was more rewarding and faster..."
"What the hell, you're selling
out!"
When Wang Haoran was answering Feili Xue, Qin Tian started to relax, but once Wang Haoran said that last part, Qin Tian's expression tightened, damn it, this kid is too honest!
At the beginning of the sester, Qin Tian indeed said what Wang Haoran ntioned, which was how he felt.
But can you say such things in front of the teacher?
Wang Haoran spoke without thinking and put Qin Tian in a tough spot!
Sure enough, after Wang Haoran finished speaking, Feili Xue's face showed a trace of displeasure. She pursed her lips and said:
"Student Wang Haoran, so you're saying my classes are aningless to Qin Tian, that he already knows everything, is that it?"
Wang Haoran was about to respond when he realized he had misspoken, but before he could say anything, Feili Xue continued: "In that case, very well, Qin Tian, I'm very curious where you get the confidence to say such things."
Ssss!
Upon hearing this, Wang Haoran took a deep breath, turning to Qin Tian nearby with an apologetic expression, as if to say, "Bro, I ssed up, I misspoke..."
"I'll give you a chance to prove yourself now. Let's talk about the Gathering Spirit Pill; tell us, how is it concocted? If you can tell, I'll let your recent absences slide; if not, I'll report your truancy to the head teacher, and they'll decide whether to expel you or strip your cultivation. Qin Tian, do you have any objections?"
Ssss!
Feili Xue said this lightly, but the ssage was a shock to all the students in class!
Expulsion or stripping of cultivation? That's terrifying!
Seeing the fearful expressions of the students, Feili Xue felt slightly pleased.
Of course, her words were ant to frighten Qin Tian. Actually stripping cultivation is impossible, and expulsion would be a severe punishnt unless she insisted on it.
In an instant, all the students turned their attention to Qin Tian.
Especially Wang Haoran, whose face was filled with guilt at that mont.
Qin Tian did not say anything. As everyone looked at him, he took a deep breath and said, "Three grams of Money Grass, one ten-year-old Lingzhi, one Snow Spirit Fruit, dried in the sun, two grams of Immortal Flower, a bowl of spring water, simr in a large fla for three hours, dium fla for two hours, low fla for four hours, and one Gathering Spirit Pill is made."
"How about it, Teacher Fei, is what I said correct?"
When Qin Tian finished speaking, he saw the students in the Practice Room looking dumbfounded.
And Feili Xue was intensely focused on Qin Tian. Although she tried hard to control her surprise, her shocked expression already gave her away.
Feili Xue did not speak, but the other students started discussing.
"Wow, the thod to concoct the Gathering Spirit Pill was just taught, and Qin Tian really knows it?"
"Yes, and he rembers it so clearly... how did he do it?"
"Tsk tsk, we underestimated him. We thought he was a lazy, idle young master, but he actually did go to study."
"Not just us, Teacher Fei probably didn't expect Qin Tian to answer smoothly either?"
Several students chatted as they glanced to Feili Xue.
Feili Xue stood at the front, her expression sowhat awkward at the mont.
The question she asked wasn't difficult, but logically, Qin Tian, who had never attended class, shouldn't have known the answer!
Even if Qin Tian had studied alchemy before, from what Feili Xue knew, the most detailed thod for the Gathering Spirit Pill, specifying when to use high, dium, and low flas along with specific tis, was only done here at East Han Academy. Elsewhere, this step was omitted!
For Qin Tian to say it, it indicated he genuinely had gone to the library and read related alchemy books!
Qin Tian is a good student, but now Feili Xue was feeling a little down.
Because Qin Tian had embarrassed her.
"Teacher Fei, don't be embarrassed, don't blush... I know I'm handso, but you don't have to show it so obviously, hehe... let's start the class. I'll study hard, make progress every day."
When Feili Xue didn't know how to proceed, Qin Tian chuckled and said.
This remark by Qin Tian gave Feili Xue a graceful way out. With a flicker of annoyance in her beautiful eyes, she said angrily, "What's there to be proud about! Humph, I won't pursue the previous absences, but for being late today, I will punish you. Stand outside in horse stance while listening to the class!"
Feili Xue pointed outside the Practice Room as she spoke.
Qin Tian pursed his lips, knowing this woman lost the bet but wouldn't admit it, nodded, "Alright, thank you, Teacher Fei, for your lenience. As long as you're happy."
When leaving the Practice Room, Qin Tian winked and raised his eyebrows at Feili Xue, making her fu with anger.
Inside the Practice Room, Feili Xue, having cald down, resud the class.
Outside the Practice Room, Qin Tian listened to the class while planning his next move.
The conversation with Feili Xue sparked a daring idea within Qin Tian.
He's going to use this beautiful teacher!
Feili Xue, an alchemy master, also from the Fei Family, an alchemy family. Qin Tian decided to seize this chance to get close to Feili Xue. Using her status, he could connect with the nobles of East Capital City, especially the City Lord Mansion, the military, or the Soul Suppressing Hall.
Only by leveraging Feili Xue to connect with these nobles could he have a chance to investigate and uncover the mastermind behind Cao Taiji's death.
Moreover, by associating with these so-called nobles, it would also be more convenient for him to obtain information or carry out missions as Long Yin.
This was an insight Qin Tian gained from his undercover days in Europe and Huaxia—
To achieve the greatest gains as an undercover, one must undertake the most dangerous tasks, get close to the most dangerous individuals, retrieve chestnuts from the fire! Pull teeth from a tiger's mouth!
And Feili Xue's identity presented an opportunity in Qin Tian's eyes.
