This Life's Song: The Genius Rune Master

Chapter 88 Cheating to Join a Sect

Similarly, some people are happy while others are sad, but there are also some people with firm beliefs who watch carefully and decide in their hearts that they will study even more firmly in the future.

When it was finally Jingwei's turn, the sphere also bounced a few times, and it also emitted Dan fire.

Jingwei was overjoyed. She had always been interested in pills, and the discovery of pill fire further strengthened her resolve to refine them.

Having made up his mind, he didn't forget Lianxue, "Lianxue, you should try it too."

Lian Xue smiled and shook her head. She wasn't particularly fond of pills and didn't want to get involved. "No thanks."

Jingwei, her bright eyes sparkling, looked at Lianxue and said, "Give it a try, okay?"

There was no one else around at this moment, and the instructor's gaze fell on Lian Xue, as did the others.

Lianxue had no choice but to compromise, realizing that being the center of attention was nothing compared to this.

Approaching the instructor, Lianxue nodded and did as he was told.

With a wisp of spiritual energy and the output of mental power, the small ball began to tremble, its excitement as if its bottom were on fire, jumping around wildly.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, hoping for a miracle, but in an instant, the ball's bouncing turned into trembling, and then it returned to stillness—yes, it returned to stillness.

There was no further reaction. "Could it be that the ball can also feign excitement, huh?"

"Good heavens, I thought there was going to be some amazing flame, but this is all!"

"Quiet down, the instructor hasn't said anything yet." Everyone reluctantly shut up.

Lian Xue smoothed her bangs and said helplessly to Jing Wei, "See? I also think I don't have the talent for alchemy. There's no need to worry about it. Maybe I sensed something wrong at the beginning."

The mentor was shocked for a while before coughing and expressing his embarrassment, "Well, there might have been an error. It's okay, you can learn from this knowledge and search for the spark again later."

Lianxue politely returned the greeting, "Thank you, mentor. Please continue."

After Lianxue finished speaking, she pulled Jingwei back to their previous seats.

The mentor looked at the girl, a hint of suspicion flashing through his mind. When had the Fire Seed ever acted in this way before? It was practically a miracle. But the Fire Seed seemed excited, and then it turned into fear. Hmm! Maybe he was overthinking it. How could the Fire Seed be afraid? You must be joking.

The mentor shook his head and waved for the servants to put away the fire.

An hour later, the instructor finished explaining the basic theoretical knowledge and announced the end of today's lesson. He advised students to focus on memorizing the knowledge and not to rush into anything.

Lianxue pulled Jingwei along, preparing to go to the next class. However, as soon as they stepped out the door, they were blocked by five or six people on their left and right.

The four people on the left, if Lian Xue remembers correctly, are people from the previous Talisman Hall.

Lianxue politely inquired, "Is there anything I can help you with? We're on our way to a class. If not, please make way."

Two men and two women were present. One of the men shouted angrily, "Let your sister have her way! How can someone who disrupts class say they want to listen to the lecture? Huh? Isn't that ridiculous?"

A woman nearby chimed in, "Oh my! A mere freshman dares to be so arrogant, making us make way. Who gave you the guts?" She then spat out a mouthful of food.

Two women on the right also ran over and became very close to the four of them. "Senior Sister Yao, these two are very arrogant and ignorant. You should teach them a lesson."

Another chimed in, "Yes, Senior Sister Yao, you have no idea, they were testing their alchemical fire just now, you know, the scene was... tsk tsk."

"You have no idea! She actually tried to fool us. At first, the flame was trembling violently, and we all thought something amazing was going to happen. But alas! It was exposed as nothing. She still dared to try to fool us!"

The reason they said this was purely out of jealousy. Why? The reason is simple: they all noticed the professor's attention to her, and even felt a little bit of expectation.

This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to these people, so their words were full of disdain and even slander, only in this way could they feel better.

Another woman among the four covered her mouth and giggled, "Really? They thought they were so high and mighty, but they were sleeping in Instructor Lin's class anyway. From now on, Fu Tang won't welcome them anymore." Her simple words said it all, leaving it to others to speculate.

Jingwei listened to the group talking to themselves, completely belittling her and Lianxue. She felt guilty, thinking that if she hadn't been sleepy, she wouldn't have dragged Lianxue into this mess. She was also a little angry at how these people could be so unrestrained.

Lianxue noticed Jingwei's guilt; the guilt flashed in her eyes, but Lianxue, being perceptive, still caught it. She reached out and grabbed Jingwei's hand, holding it tightly. "Don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with you. If they want to cause trouble, they'll have a million reasons."

Hearing Lianxue's words, Jingwei's guilt lessened considerably. "Yes! What right do you have to say that? The instructor didn't accuse us of cheating, so what right do you have to say that?"

The man laughed loudly, "Oh, how ridiculous! Two shameless people, actually accusing us of framing them. We don't have time for that. Tsk tsk, what a pity..."

Those who came out of the Pill Hall were confused. After asking around, someone said that Lian Xue wanted to cheat, but was discovered by the Fire Seed, which is why she started to become active, and then nothing happened later.

This explanation seemed to enlighten everyone, making it seem quite plausible. If that were the case, then these two young people must be incredibly cunning.

The general public loves excitement, especially excitement that's just as exciting as possible.

With everyone talking at once, chaos erupted. The large crowd, coupled with the conflicting truths, quickly spread the word far and wide.

(Have you heard? Two girls in the Pill Hall tried to cheat but were caught and banned from going there anymore.) — (Saying this on purpose)

(Let me tell you, you didn't know this, did you? I have the latest news, absolutely firsthand: the two new girls got in by cheating, and they got caught today.)

(Breaking news! Two new members actually cheated to join the sect, and after being discovered, they shamelessly stayed in the sect. How shameless!)

Lianxue was furious to see a group of people making unfounded accusations against her and her partner. "Enough! Don't go too far. Did you witness what really happened?"

The girl's voice was firm and resolute, which momentarily intimidated some people.

However, some still came to cause trouble, which was ignored. "Still trying to argue? Everyone in the Talisman Hall knows that you have been kicked out and are not allowed to enter again."

"That's right, everyone in the Pill Hall saw you cheat. The abnormality of the Fire Seed at the beginning was because of your cheating, but you still didn't pass. Everyone agrees, right? You all saw it, right? If you saw it, say something."

Someone timidly suggested, "Perhaps the ignition source is malfunctioning." Unfortunately, this voice was drowned out by the crowd.

Fu Tang was still giving a lecture, and Qi Nianbei and his friend were listening attentively.

At that moment, someone peered out from outside the door, and then a person sitting nearby bent over and quietly went out.

They overheard the two whispering to each other, "I'm telling you, there's something interesting going on over there. Those two who were just kicked out are in trouble again. Apparently, they were found out that they cheated to get into the sect. It's quite a scene over there. Do you want to go check it out?"

"You're a good kid, thinking of me even with such explosive news. Why don't you go?" With that, the two ran off at top speed.

Qi Nianbei heard their conversation clearly, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Such things could happen anywhere, even within his own family, so he wouldn't concern himself with them.
