NOVEL WEB Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Hello, Teacher, Thoughts of Evil
Day Four.
"Thank you both."
Two government officials opened a sealed jade box, allowing Teacher Chen to verify the authenticity of the Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, then they affixed a one-time seal and handed it over to Meng Yu.
Meng Yu had destroyed his Second Uncle's terminal, and no one stopped him from buying the Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill this time.
"Teacher Chen, thank you."
Meng Yu smiled and nodded at the beautiful swordsmanship teacher.
"No need to thank me, you've given me a generous reward."
Teacher Chen was also very happy, as today, Meng Yu had paid her three thousand as a reward for acting as a witness and escorting him to the Spiritual Energy Point in the city center.
Actually, this money was almost a giveaway, as the Marrow-Cleansing Pill sent by the Immortal Sect would never be switched on the road. As for the idea of robbing Meng Yu of the Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill?
The school was in the city center, and stepping outside was a bustling street; if Meng Yu reserved a standard courier in advance, they would certainly deliver him smoothly to the nearby destination.
"No, no, no, I'm still very grateful to Teacher Chen, better safe than sorry."
Meng Yu smiled. To outsiders, it was merely a Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, but in Meng Yu's divine sense, a round and dull lotus seed was bouncing around cheerfully.
After he uttered the settlement incantation, the Nine-Petal White Lotus began to turn black, as if ink-like sludge surged up from its roots, and eventually, a dull-colored lotus seed congealed and fell into Meng Yu's divine sense.
On the lotus seed was a pattern of the number ten, and then a different scene appeared on Meng Yu's skill panel.
So, in Teacher Chen's eyes, it was just a Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, but for Meng Yu, this was the most important moment of his life!
What if he encountered thieves, villains, or even members of the Meng Family waiting on the road?
"All right, let's get going."
Teacher Chen glanced at the box in Meng Yu's hand, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
The Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill was suitable for all kinds of people, even she could advance her cultivation to the next level with one.
Unfortunately, this elixir was only available for purchase by a select few, and if she were to buy it at the market price, she would be in debt for twenty years.
Although she was determined enough to do that, her family would never allow her to. Her parents adored her younger brother, who was poorly behaved, often causing big trouble. Otherwise, she, a top graduate from Taibai University, would not have ended up returning to her hometown to be a swordsmanship teacher, supporting her parents and helping her brother!
The two quickly arrived at the Spiritual Energy Point in the city center, where the best cultivation facilities in Greenwood City were located.
The staff went outside to make arrangements, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Meng Yu looked at the panel again and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
The panel was very considerate. There were a bunch of blood relatives for Meng Yu, but only two people he cared about, a female class leader, and Teacher Chen. None of the classmates he had helped these days had developed into close or beloved relationships.
"Teacher."
The faint scent of sandalwood filled the room, and the beautiful teacher sat beside him, with curves full of infinite beauty, and her heroic temperament was the dream lover of the original body.
Teacher Chen gave him a roll of the eyes.
"Teacher, I want to give you this Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill," Meng Yu said softly and very sincerely.
"What?"
Teacher Chen was stunned, then stunned again!
What did he say?
Why was he saying that?
So, he had intentionally asked her to come today, she had indeed found it strange why he insisted on having her come.
Teacher Chen's breathing suddenly became a bit rapid.
She had been stuck at a certain stage for a long time. If she had this Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, then breaking through would be no problem, and she could soar to the skies.
Of course, she also knew why the boy wanted to give her such an alchemical elixir.
Meng Yu was a very calm child, and he liked her. Although this affection was that of adolescence, in the Immortal Sect, the marriageable age was sixteen, and in six more days, it would be his birthday.
If she took the elixir, she would be able to advance in class and then earn money faster to help him in return. And even if it was a trade-off, she wouldn't be the one at a loss. The boy before her was still young, and his family had a house. By the time it came to marriage...
Meng Yu said nothing but watched Teacher Chen silently.
Corruption strengthens tenfold, becoming a demon hundredfold.
To dominate another's body, to tempt the heart of one's beloved.
Teacher Chen was a good person, never taking advantage of others. Even when she gained benefits, she would return them twofold.
If his beloved teacher, for the sake of an elixir, broke her own principles and really agreed, then naturally her character would prompt her to agree to certain things, and as events took their course, flowers would bloom and fall.
In such a case, would it be corruption or becoming a demon?
How could a Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill compare with tenfold and hundredfold strength?
"Teacher, the reason I asked you here today is to give you this elixir. Thank you for always caring for me and looking after me. I have no conditions, Sister, please feel free to take it..."
To other students, Teacher Chen was the perfect big sister—gentle and approachable, independent and strong. In reality, though, she was a people pleaser who had always been pua'd by her family.
A person like her would feel uncomfortable for a long time if she didn't repay someone for a meal, let alone for taking a Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill from them.
Would insulting one's benefactor be considered one of the great evils?
"You..."
Teacher Chen was lost in confusion, but Meng Yu directly picked up the box and placed it in the teacher's hand.
In the moment their skin touched, Teacher Chen suddenly awoke.
Although in that brief time, the female teacher had already decided on the names for her children with Meng Yu, then... she knocked on the boy's head quite hard.
Dreaming is beneficial to health, but she just wanted to smack his head properly.
However, the knock eventually turned into a gentle caress, and the teacher gently patted Meng Yu's head again.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
Her voice was as sweet as honey, but she put the elixir back into Meng Yu's hand.
She would always remember this moment's charm, how a young child had done all this for her.
"Meng Yu, thank you, thank you so much, but the elixir is yours. Don't let your teacher think less of herself."
She said so, and Meng Yu bashfully lowered his head.
Alright, if this path was not to be, then he would take another.
It was time to use the Third-Grade Marrow-Cleansing Pill, and it was good that he had dealt with that sticky candy earlier. Otherwise, in the next few days, he would certainly be harassed in various ways, or even forced; then things would move towards an irreversible direction.
As for the trouble caused by killing, why not wait a little longer or act in secret? It came down to one word: ceremonialism.
Meng Yu hadn't figured out what this ceremonialism meant, but he would also be careful.
Corruption strengthens tenfold, becoming a demon hundredfold. When one is corrupted, it's not just about the individual's influence; there must also be provocation from others. And now, the provocation had arrived. Should he still avoid it?
The Spiritual Energy Room was ready; Meng Yu would not look back.
At the counter, a middle-aged uncle was attending to customers. Ten years ago, he too was a young man full of ambitions.
As for Teacher Chen nearby, had she forgotten her youthful dreams of breaking through the Nine Heavens?
The guide girl, who came here to work part-time and save money, what was she here for?
Meng Yu walked into the room and closed the door behind him.
Everyone needed resources and opportunities; it was an era of great cultivation. To conform is to be human; to go against the flow is to be an immortal. Since the opportunity had come, then take the plunge!
