Returning from the Immortal World
chapter-75

“Teacher Han, when you left to buy water at the supermarket, I happened to meet an acquaintance, and he was suffering from serious illness. Since I knew Traditional Chinese Medicine, he then took me away and I gave him treatment in the past few days. The heavens finally bestowed their blessings and I was able to cure his illness yesterday.” Tang Xiu had long thought about this good line of just reason for anticipation, as he threw the lie without even flinching.

Han Qingwu snapped, “What a bull! Even if you left to cure others, why did you go in such a hurry? And I don’t buy it. Since when have you learned Traditional Chinese Medicinal skills? I think you’re only talking big and not even a word that makes me believe you!”

Tang Xiu shouted loudly as though he was unjustly treated, “Teacher Han, all great masters have always been bound by their words! Even if I deceive the whole world, I wouldn’t dare to deceive you! If you don’t believe me, I can give you his number and you can ask him directly.”

“For real?”

Tang Xiu straightened up his chest as he spoke with a resolute and decisive tone, “Yes, he’s a famous person. Ah, that’s right! I think you may have heard of him if I tell you his name. His name is Chen Zhizhong, a businessman. And I do have a witness! You should have heard about Long Hanwen, yes? He’s the Long Group’s head.”

Han Qingwu rolled her eyes. A moment ago, she was only skeptical hearing Tang Xiu’s words. But now the tiny bit of trust just vanished in the blink of an eye.

Chen Zhizhong and Long Hanwen?

She certainly had heard about these two people. It wasn’t just her. 99% of Star City’s inhabitants would absolutely have heard about these two men. And, who was Tang Xiu? How could such an ordinary high schooler possibly know those big shots who were aloof and remote?

However, the reason she called Tang Xiu to come out was to vent out the iffy feeling in her heart and also to fix Tang Xiu’s attitude toward his studying activities. Such said, regardless of the rubbish nonsense spat out by Tang Xiu, she didn’t want to dwell and inquire it further, “Tang Xiu, I don’t want to check out whether your words are true or not. In short, do bear in mind that there is only a month left to the College Entrance Test. I will ask other teachers to compile a set of exam papers for you to have a mock test. If your results are way down from the previous ones, do be very careful that I will cancel your qualification to attend the College Entrance Test.”

“As expected, everything she says has always been about academic performance.”

When he got back to the classroom, Tang Xiu saw Yuan Chuling wink at him with eyes full of a teasing expression.

“Eldest Brother, the day when you skipped classes, what message have you sent to Teacher Han? Her face was crimson, and everyone could clearly see it.”

That day?

Tang Xiu recalled his memory and suddenly couldn’t help laughing involuntarily. Looking at the gossipy expression on Yuan Chuling’s face, he secretly shook his head and no longer paid attention to him.

He needed a large number of medicinal herbs to reach the Skin Strengthening Stage in cultivating the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis; of which, he had yet to find the rest of the precious herbs. So Tang Xiu could only put on hold his cultivation first and collect all the medicinal herbs as fast as possible.
