Peerless Dual Cultivation: From Fool to Immortal

Chapter 38 – What you see may not be the truth



Because he saw the other half of the girl's face.

Although it was covered by hair, he could still vaguely see the features behind the strands.

The girl was young, around sixteen or seventeen years old.

Her features were perfectly matched, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a jade-like nose, and red lips.

However, there was a red mark under her bangs that drastically lowered her appearance score from 90 to 0.

What was this situation? Was it the heavens being jealous of a beauty?

The girl was also taken aback when she saw Huang Ye. Was this guy referring to her as a beauty earlier?

The term "beauty" didn't seem to apply to her.

Seeing Huang Ye's stunned expression.

"Classmate, were you calling me just now?"

Huang Ye finally heard a term similar to modern language, and the girl's voice was pleasant, somewhat like the soft and gentle voice of a southern girl, very comforting to hear.

"That's right! I was calling you."

"What, were you startled by my face? I'm not the beauty you mentioned. What do you want?"

"Why wouldn't you be a beauty? Although there's a slight flaw on your face, it's not a problem. A surgery could fix it."

"Fix it? Are you joking? Even Doctor Xue couldn't do anything about it. I've long given up," the girl said sadly.

"Uh, I forgot, this isn't my hometown. In my hometown, the mark on your face is easy to treat."

"Classmate, don't make fun of me. I've seen countless doctors and taken countless medicines since I was a child, all to no effect."

"System, can the birthmark on her face be treated?"

[In modern medicine, it can be treated with lasers, but traditional Chinese medicine cannot treat it. However, I am not sure about the medical level here.]

[There are cultivators here, which is completely different from a technological society. Perhaps the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth can remove the ailment.]

Huang Ye was speechless after hearing the system's explanation.

He said it could be treated because in his past life, he rarely saw people with marks on their faces; those people must have been treated, so he assumed it could be treated, not realizing it was done with lasers.

This method definitely wouldn't work here. Not to mention the lack of lasers, even if there were, he wouldn't know how to operate them.

However, the concept of using immortal techniques for treatment mentioned by the system seemed feasible to him.

Immortal techniques could bring the dead back to life, so treating a small red mark should be no problem.

Unfortunately, although he possessed Spiritual Energy, he didn't know how to use it, so he still couldn't treat it.

"Classmate, I'm not joking with you. Have you sought treatment from an immortal master?"

"Not really. Why would an immortal master treat an ordinary person like me?"

"Not necessarily. If an immortal master suddenly feels compassionate, they might treat you."

"Stop teasing me. Thank you for talking to me. No one else is willing to."

"No need to thank me. I'm here to serve the people!"

The girl was stunned. This guy was really strange; she had never heard anyone speak like this before.

"I'm new here. I just arrived at the academy today, and you're the first student to talk to me. From now on, we're good friends," Huang Ye said sincerely.

"Re-really? You're not afraid of me?"

"Afraid of what? You're just a young girl; you can't possibly eat me."

Huang Ye saw a few tears fall from the girl's eyes, understanding that she must have been neglected for years.

"Classmate, this isn't good. It looks like I'm bullying you."

"No, it's nothing. Thank you. You're the first person to see my appearance and still want to be friends."

"Don't worry, you don't have to consider me a friend. Just hearing those words is enough."

The girl said with a choked voice.

"What are you saying? I just said we're friends. A man's word is his bond."

"If anyone bullies you in the future, I'll teach them a lesson."

"Haha, you're really interesting. You're a new student, not even a Martial Apprentice, and you dare to say you'll teach others a lesson."

"Let me protect you instead. Although I'm not pretty, my skills are quite good. I'm already at the second level of Martial Master."

"Wow! That's impressive," Huang Ye exclaimed.

"Of course, being so ugly, I've put all my energy into martial arts."

"By the way, you called me earlier. What do you want?"

"I just arrived at the academy and attended an internal skills class, but that old man kicked me out."

"Old man? You mean Instructor Hu? He's quite kind. Why did he kick you out?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Kind? Are you sure we're talking about the same person?"

"Instructor Hu is the only elderly internal skills instructor. The others are uncles, so it can't be wrong."

"Anyway, I couldn't afford his textbook, so he wouldn't let me attend the class."

"I see. Instructor Hu's textbooks are a bit expensive, but they're worth the price."

"Judging by your attire, your family isn't well-off, right?"

"Not really. I didn't know the textbooks were so expensive and only brought fifty taels of silver."

"If you're short on silver, I can lend you some. A thousand or eight hundred taels is no problem."

Wow, she's a rich girl! But she's so young, why does she call herself 'sister'?

"Aren't you quite young?"

"Don't be fooled by my appearance. I've looked like this since I was sixteen, and now I'm nineteen."

"So you're older than me."

"Thank you, sister. We just met, so I can't possibly borrow money from you. I'll earn it myself."

"I want to ask, are the textbooks for other subjects also this expensive?"

"Not really. The most expensive ones from other instructors are twenty taels, and most textbooks don't exceed ten taels."

"That's still quite a lot," Huang Ye said dejectedly.

"There's no other way. The academy only charges for accommodation and management fees, and doesn't pay the instructors a salary. The instructors have to be self-sufficient."

"The better they teach, the higher the fees they charge. That's the academy's rule."

"Otherwise, if capable instructors lowered their fees, less capable ones wouldn't have any students."

"I understand now. Thank you for telling me, senior sister."

"You're welcome. I should thank you for considering me a friend."

"Well, I'll attend other subjects first and listen to Instructor Hu when I have the money."

"Junior, I really have money, don't worry, you don't have to pay me back."

Huang Ye felt awkward. How did he become a gigolo in this world? He didn't have this kind of treatment in his past life.

Better not get entangled with this girl. She probably hasn't had friends for a long time and suddenly found one to pour her emotions into.

"Senior sister, you go ahead. I'll find some cheaper classes to attend."

"By the way, my name is Huang Ye. How should I address you, senior sister?"

"I'm Su Wan! If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Huang Ye dashed off in a flash.

This guy, it seems he was just fooling me about being friends. He ran off in such a hurry. Never mind, let's see what he does.

If he comes to find me again, it means he truly considers me a friend.

Happy for a day is a day, Su Wan went to the training ground cheerfully.

For the first time, she radiated happiness on her face and didn't care about her appearance.

Huang Ye continued strolling around the campus and arrived at a new hall, where there weren't many students attending the class.

The fee for this teacher's class must be low, so he decided to go in and listen. If it was useful, he'd stay for a while.

He quietly entered the lecture hall and sat at the back.

Apart from the teacher at the front speaking passionately, none of the other students noticed Huang Ye's entrance.

The students were very focused during the lecture, and Huang Ye thought this teaching method was quite good.

Every class required money, every textbook required money, and if you had money, you could attend classes.

People who spent money to attend classes wanted to learn.

After sitting down, Huang Ye noticed the teacher on the podium was fiddling with a toy.

A round face, chubby cheeks, a cute face, a red nose, a plump body, round hands, and a snow-white belly.

Uh! What kind of toy was that? Why did it look like Doraemon? Could it be that he was also a transmigrator?
