How could this happen? How could this happen? Why would these people help Qin Qin?
"Wuu wuu, you all bully me, I'm going to tell my daddy," Lan Lili stomped her foot and pulled out her phone to dial the number.
As soon as they heard Lan Lili was going to tell her father, all the students were afraid and wanted to leave. Lan Lili's father was not only the village head of some township but also had some relations with the principal of First High School, so they were all afraid that Lan Lili might get the principal to punish them. All students were full of regret. What had gotten into them just now? Why had they impulsively helped Qin Qin? Were they possessed by demons? They felt that Qin Qin's gaze was so terrifying that they subconsciously spoke out to defend her.
Lan Lili got through on the phone and immediately spoke to the person on the other end, "Daddy, you must... Mom... why are you the one answering the phone, where's daddy? What do you mean? Daddy's in the hospital? Wuu wuu... Mommy, why is daddy in the hospital... Liver cancer, no, how is that possible?"
Lan Lili hung up the phone, dispirited, and without paying attention to anyone else, she ran off quickly.
Feng Xin didn't watch Lan Lili, but instead stared at Qin Qin with shock, "You... How did you know about Lili's dad being in the hospital, and that he has liver cancer?"
No one else heard the conversation between Qin Qin and Lan Lili just now, but Feng Xin, who was next to Lan Lili, heard it all clearly.
Qin Qin looked at Feng Xin and smiled faintly, "If I say I calculated it, would you believe me?"
Having said this, Qin Qin nodded at Lee Xing and then, without any hesitation, stepped forward, preparing to leave. As she approached the group of students, she paused, and the students instinctively made way, not daring to block Qin Qin's path.
Qin Qin smiled as she passed by the students and walked out, but just as she was leaving, she stopped again, her eyes looking towards two people not far away.
Lee Jiaqi and his friend Yin Zheng stood not far away, Yin Zheng's eyes held disbelief, while Lee Jiaqi's were filled with complexity and a faint shock.
Not paying attention to them, Qin Qin moved forward, even boldly passing by the two as she headed for the school entrance.
"This... How has Qin Qin changed? Shouldn't she be excited and thrilled when she looks at you? And also, I heard that this Qin Qin is always timid, bullied by people from class three, so how come she just now seemed so fierce? It was simply too cool," Yin Zheng said excitedly, patting Lee Jiaqi's shoulder.
Lee Jiaqi paid no mind to Yin Zheng's words and instead fixed his gaze on Qin Qin's retreating figure, clearly seeing the girl named Qin Qin for the first time.
She was not supremely beautiful, but her skin was exceptionally fine, with a white radiance tinged with red, her whole being exuding an elegant and refined aura as though... she was a lotus that rose unsullied from the mud, to be admired from a distance but not to be profaned.
Lee Xing also watched Qin Qin's figure for a long time, a hint of confusion in his eyes, feeling that there was a significant difference between the Qin Qin he saw today and the Qin Qin of the past. It was as if... as if they were two different people. No, what was he thinking? It was clearly Qin Qin, yet she felt very different.
By the time Qin Qin got home by car, it was already six-thirty, usually, she would be home by just before six, but today was delayed because of Lan Lili and the others.
After getting off the car, Qin Qin surprisingly saw Qin An anxiously looking around at the doorway. As soon as he saw Qin Qin, the anxiety on his face instantly dissipated, and he hurried forward,
"Today, why have you come back so late?"
Qin Qin lifted a gentle smile toward Qin An, "Daddy, there were some questions I asked the teacher, so I was a little late."
Qin An finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing his daughter had been bullied again, "Alright, alright, you should ask the teacher if there's anything you don't understand. The food is ready, let's go back home to eat. Today Daddy bought you a chicken, you need to nourish yourself properly."
Seeing the concern and worry in Qin An's tone, the smile in Qin Qin's eyes deepened; feeling that warm sensation of someone waiting and caring for her was so comforting.
"Okay."
After a warm meal together, just as Qin Qin was about to return to her room, she was stopped by Qin An, who went back to his room to bring out the things he bought for Qin Qin today.
"Qinqin, hurry back to try these on. Dad bought you a few clothes today. It's getting into autumn, and you don't have many clothes," Qin An said with a smile, excitedly handing over the clothes to Qin Qin.
Qin Qin, looking at the happy Qin An, took the clothes made from ordinary fabric. "What about you? Did you buy any for yourself?"
From what she remembered, Qin An was extremely thrifty. His clothes were even more worn and patched than Qin Qin's.
Qin An rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Dad has clothes to wear, no need to buy."
After hearing Qin An's words, Qin Qin felt a twinge in her nose.
Fool, foolish dad.
Qin Qin didn't speak but turned and walked into her room, closing the door behind her. Tears traced the corners of her eyes as she gripped the clothes tightly in her hand.
Money... She needed to make money, an overwhelming desire at this moment.
[Master, don't cry! It's easy to make money with the master's abilities, Xiao Fong supports you.]
"Mhm, I know, it's just a bit emotional," she replied.
It took a while for Qin Qin to calm her emotions. She hung the clothes in the wardrobe, then took out some books to read, as there were still things she was not very good at and needed to work diligently on.
After about three hours of reading, Qin Qin, feeling somewhat tired, rubbed her eyes, closed the book, and disappeared from the spot.
Entering the space, Qin Qin felt an invigorating sensation throughout her body. The fatigue in her brain and eyes also eased significantly. Inhaling the floral scent in the air, she walked towards the fruit trees she had planted, with Xiao Fong excitedly perched on her shoulder.
Seeing the fruit trees, about three meters high and covered with blossoms, Qin Qin couldn't help but be shocked. Indeed, this was a heaven-defying space. In just a couple of days, the trees had grown so much that she might be able to enjoy the fresh and delicious fruit in two more days.
"Magical, isn't it, master?" Xiao Fong flew up and circled around the fruit tree. "Wait until the herbs are transplanted here, they will grow even faster."
"Mhm!" It seemed the herbs should also be transplanted sooner rather than later.
After checking the fruit trees, Qin Qin walked straight to the training ground. This time Xiao Fong used Spiritual Energy to conjure up two monkeys.
The monkeys were there to improve Qin Qin's agility.
Hours later, Qin Qin was once again so tired she collapsed on the ground, and it took a long time before she could stand up and walk over to the Spirit Creek Pool.
The soreness in her body eased significantly because of the Spirit Creek Pool. Opening her eyes, she saw Xiao Fong frolicking in the water. "Xiao Fong, I want my dad to drink some Spiritual Spring Water as well, can I?"
Xiao Fong popped its head out and shook its head. "You can't, master. The old master's body can't withstand the power of the Spiritual Spring Water. If you want to take some, you can bring out some Spirit Stream Water, and the old master's body will also become much stronger after drinking it."
Qin Qin nodded her head, stepped out of the Spirit Creek Pool, took some Spirit Stream Water from upstream out of the space, poured it into the water jar, and then went back to her room to rest.
