Chapter 39 – From the Herb Garden to the Tradition Academy (2/2)
This was still the main theme of Tradition Academy.
Besides showering outdoor and singing in the bathroom……Chen Chang Sheng felt that the biggest change in his life was his diet, which had improved tremendously. Starting from the second day he admitted Luo Luo as his student, he began eating the breakfast, lunch, and dinner that Lou Lou brought from the Herb Garden.
He was extremely satisfied by the food brought from the Herb Garden. The variety of the dishes, combination of vegetable and meat, and nutrition and taste all far surpassed his imagination – Back in the old temple of Xi Ning Village, his senior was the cook. Although there was no problem with the nutrition, it didn’t really taste good.
He wasn’t only satisfied by the food, but also more satisfied by the actions of Luo Luo. From its core these food were her heart and her present.
Luo Luo was close to him. She wanted to stay with him every moment and every second. When he didn’t pay attention, the young girl would wrap herself around his arm and smell him, just like a cute kitten. If it wasn’t for Chen Chang Sheng’s strong denial, she wouldn’t even return to the Herb Garden to sleep.
But Chen Chang Sheng was just a youngster fourteen years old. He wasn’t used to Luo Luo’s respect and dependence. Although he still thought she was only around ten years old, he was still a little embarrassed being this close to a girl. However the feelings were nice, so nice that he was willing to endure it.
But there was still no breakthrough in his xiuxing. Many days have passed and he continued to absorb starlight and Purify his body. Yet there wasn’t any change in his body. Even as determined as he was, he started to doubt himself. At least he felt his luck was not good.
He didn’t know that Luo Luo told her people that he was the type of person that didn’t need luck.
Luo Luo’s luck was extremely good. If there is such thing as being blessed by Heaven, her blessing was unmatched.
Starting from the night she met Chen Chang Sheng to the day she recognized him as master, dozen of days had passed. Spring hasn’t end yet but Chen Chang Sheng has already helped her find three paths of controlling qi. She has already learned seventeen techniques of the Wind and Rain Sword of Mountain Zhong.
As the summer approached, the semi trial of the Great Trial has ended.
The streets and avenue of the capital were filled with people. Countless students from all over the world were either filled with extreme joy or despair. They either need liquor to celebrate or forget about everything. The taverns were filled to the maximum and before night arrived, the famous brothels had already put up a color lamp.
Due to the recent xiu xing problems, Chen Chang Sheng’s mood was a little down. He knew that being stressed wasn’t a good thing and he needed to relax. Therefore he walked out of the Tradition Academy and took out half a day to look at some scene. But the interesting thing, or rather something that leaves people speechless, was that he didn’t go to Li Palace to look at ivies, he didn’t go to the Nai He Bridge to count stones, but…..he brought Luo Luo to the end of Hundred Blossom Street and sat down to look at the people passing by.
Luo Luo always listened to him with no objection. No matter what decisions he made, Luo Luo would accept them and believe they were correct. Even if his actions were a little strange, there must be hidden meaning behind his actions. Today, she was finally unhappy.
“Teacher…..”
She sat at the stone stairs and looked at the green moss on the opening of the well. She kicked a piece of small leave in front of her and wanted to complain about the boredom, but she didn’t say anything. She thought that since they rarely left the school, shouldn’t they walk a little further? Shopping with the teacher must be really interesting.
“What happened?”
Chen Chang Sheng held two popsicles and said, “You don’t want to eat it? If I eat two of these I will have a bad stomach.”
Luo Luo thought that her teacher still cared deeply about her and started being happy again. She took the popsicles from his hands and sat with him. They looked at the crowd on the street and stared into space.
She licked the popsicle and asked, “Why is there so many people on the street?”
Chen Chang Sheng bite a small portion of the popsicle off and said unclearly, “When I was buying the popsicles earlier, I overheard people say that the semi trial of the Great Trial has ended.”
Luo Luo widened her eyes, “Ah!”
Chen Chang Sheng turned his head and looked at her, “What happened? Is it too cold?”
Luo Luo looked at him and said unsurely, “I think we might have forgot something.”
Chen Chang Sheng started to think back and his eyebrows started to wrinkle. Then suddenly he relaxed.
“I remember now. I need to represent the Tradition Academy to attend the Ivy Festival.”
Yes, the semi trial of the Great Trial has ended and the summer has arrived.
The Ivy Festival was about to start.
Luo Luo asked, “Should we go?”
Chen Chang Sheng thought for a while and said. “We should go.”
Luo Luo asked, “But no one has announced anything to us.”
Chen Chang Sheng said, “If the Department of Education forgot about it, then we don’t need to go.”
Luo Luo licked the popsicle joyfully and said, “Sure! It’s up to you teacher.”
