Chapter 177 Reputation
Qin Shuxue almost died of laughter. She didn't expect Xie Mingce to be an avoidant personality, and he absolutely loved to procrastinate. He even advised her to do it tomorrow. She couldn't stop laughing and teased Xie Mingce, "Master, how come you still need to coax yourself to do things when you are so old? Do you have to make yourself happy before you are willing to do it? Can you just say it directly in the future? I won't laugh at you. I just want to hear you cheer yourself up every day with full energy, hahahahahahahahaha."
Xie Mingce's face turned even redder. Although he usually didn't act like a master, he still regarded Qin Shuxue as a good disciple. In that era, there was a distinction between the high and the low. Once a teacher, you are a father for life. Others might not care much, but Xie Mingce, who was taught etiquette since childhood, believed this. After Qin Shuxue said this, he felt that it would be a lie to say that he didn't care. He felt that he had not set a good example for Qin Shuxue and would lead her astray.
He was stubborn to begin with, and now he couldn't change his mind. He lowered his head and frowned, saying, "It's my problem. I'll go out and talk about it now."
Qin Shuxue quickly grabbed him and said, "Master, don't get excited. I'm just joking. Is there anything wrong with this? It's obviously a good thing to be able to concentrate on your work. Regarding this matter, of course, we should take a long-term view and discuss it slowly. It's useless to go out and tell everyone about our relationship all at once."
Xie Mingce felt that Qin Shuxue was his master, and he was just a young master who knew nothing. Qin Shuxue was much more thoughtful than him, and understood human nature better than him, but such a little girl must have been hurt a lot. He said carefully: "Yunqiong, do you always encounter these things?"
Ever since Qin Shuxue changed her identity, Xie Mingce also called her Xie Yunqiong in private in order to avoid being exposed.
Qin Shuxue has really encountered these things. How many children in school have not been slandered? Those with good looks are more likely to be slandered with obscene rumors, and those with poor looks are more likely to be slandered with insulting rumors. Even those who have no sense of existence, are just not good at studying, and are honest and focused on doing things, will become the target of bullying in the whole class. Elementary school, junior high school, high school, college, children at each stage have their own unique methods. It can be said that if there is an extremely unlucky person in this world, he will be bullied in four different ways throughout his entire adolescence, and may even be bullied in the workplace.
Qin Shuxue certainly wouldn't care about these things. Otherwise, what should she do? Cut open her caesarean section to remove the powder? She said early on that she didn't like to prove her innocence. This kind of thing couldn't be handled that way. The weaker you are, the more they will bully you. The only way to make the rumors self-defeating is to ignore them, but now they can't ignore them. After all, their identities cannot be exposed. They can only slowly change the villagers' views as they get along with them.
Qin Shuxue said, "We don't have to get too close to them. After all, they are outsiders and will definitely be bullied. Of course, we don't have to ignore them completely, which can easily cause jealousy. So, when you go out to work every day, if you meet someone working, lend a hand. When they start chatting with you, you can say: The girl at home is your eldest brother's daughter. Your eldest brother's original village was hit by a natural disaster, leaving only you and me, so he had to take me to find another way out. There is no money for private school, but at least you have studied for a few years and know a few words, so you can only teach her at home every day."
Xie Mingce thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Qin Shuxue said, so he agreed, "Then let's do as you say. I think you know more than me and you are careful enough, so there will be no mistakes. Now I know why so many people are making up stories about you: although you are young, you are really smart, and being so smart will make people jealous and hate you."
Envious of her because she's smart? Qin Shuxue smiled bitterly. There weren't so many reasons. She was just jealous of her because she was a human. Not only did she have to guard against the Liuli Palace and Xuanyin Temple, she also had to guard against Jing Hanrou and even Ying Yong. They were from the imperial court and had spies all over the country. If Hengli didn't keep any secrets and the emperor sent people to do a census or something, she would be doomed.
Qin Shuxue could never believe why Ying Yong was so obsessed with her. She was a weak woman who knew nothing, had no spiritual power, and no background. Everyone said that he was fighting for the throne, but why did Ying Yong want such a waste like her? The beggars on the street, who carried a few bags, might know the dog-beating stick technique. She was not as good as those people.
That being said, although she was harmed by the formation last time, this time she had no other choice but to practice the formation. Xie Mingce was a decent man, but he sympathized with her and didn't say much. He just taught her kung fu as usual. She read the formation book in her spare time. It was specially brought by Heng Li for her. Xie Mingce thought it was something else and used it to pad the legs of a stool. Later, Qin Shuxue found it. But this time she used it more carefully. She put those attack formations aside for the time being and learned some healing first, at least a high-level formation, otherwise she really couldn't be saved.
She didn't know whether Xie Hongyuan's problem had been resolved. In fact, Chongyun Sect was too busy to take care of itself and couldn't even find the body. It was impossible for them to put pressure on Liuli Palace without any evidence. Although Xie Zhiyi was unwilling, she could only swallow her anger. After all, they were the lowest class of people and didn't have the ability to resist.
However, Ju Jifeng had something important on his mind. The Liuli Palace had indeed gone too far. Just because he couldn't take action now didn't mean he would never have the chance. He needed to conserve his energy and then expose all the dirty deeds of the Liuli Palace to vent Xie Zhiyi's anger and see if they dared to act arrogantly again.
Qin Shuxue's worry was useless. She knew that she had to hide here for at least a few years. It was written like this in the novels, otherwise her life story would not be clear enough. She had heard Heng Li say that the monsters were committing crimes very frequently now, and they might organize a monster hunting after the sect competition. During this period, Chongyun Sect would definitely not care about her. When the monsters were almost eliminated, they might be able to take her back to Chongyun Sect with good reason.
I don't know how long it will take for Yu Feiling to recover. Qin Shuxue sighed. She and Xie Mingce didn't know that Heng Li was beaten so badly in that fight. Otherwise, when Qin Shuxue knew, she might sneak out to see him. After all, Heng Li was different from others.
All she could do now was to live well and live like a human being. Only by becoming stronger could she avenge Chongyun Sect, Yu Feiling, and Xie Zhiyi. She deeply understood that formations could not be learned privately, and it was precisely because of this that she wanted to be the strongest formation master in the world.
