Chapter 246: The Treasure Map

Seeing as Chu Jianyi’s actions helped create such great fame for Ling Chuxi, those who knew of the situation might laugh at him for helping another bride prepare her wedding dress as they say. However, Chu Jianyi did not perceive the situation this way, and neither did Ling Chuxi. The moment Ling Chuxi recalled the little dummy Chu Jianyi who had very bad mathematical skills, she wanted to laugh. She wasn’t sure what that rascal was up to these days.

The dean coughed loudly in dissatisfaction twice when he saw Ling Chuxi s.p.a.cing out during their conversation in an effort to make Ling Chuxi snap back to focus and reel in her wandering thoughts.

“Ah, yes, yes. Please continue, dean,” said Ling Chuxi as she regained her senses and chuckled shyly.

“You need to win, got it? If you win, I will give you an additional reward! And it is a good one indeed!” declared the dean as he put a thoughtful hand to his own chin in a gesture of deep thought and wiggled his two thick caterpillar-like eyebrows in an effort to look sternly mysterious as he spoke.

“Really? What reward is it?” asked Ling Chuxi very cooperatively.

“You’ll only find out if you win!” barked the dean with a serious expression on his face. ” I can’t tell you now. Anyway, you can trust that it is good.”

“Cheh!” muttered Ling Chuxi softly, feeling very dissatisfied. “Those who whet one’s appet.i.te only to withhold the meal will have no toilet paper when they are in need of it,” muttered Ling Chuxi to herself coldly. ‘This guy was dead meat. Not only did he register me for the compet.i.tion on my behalf without asking me, but now he is actually trying to dangle carrots in front of me only s.n.a.t.c.h them away! If I don’t curse him out for a bit, it’s hard to vent the frustration I feel towards him within my heart.’

“What did you say?!” barked the dean. Although he could be a real dunce, his cultivation level was still strong after all. Even though Ling Chuxi only muttered her reply softly, with his enhanced hearing, he could still hear her clearly! How dare she curse him out like that! It was just too unruly!

“Oh, nothing,” replied Ling Chuxi with a laugh. “Well, if there is nothing else, we’ll make a move first,” said Ling Chuxi perfunctorily.

“… All right, then. Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen, please compete well,” said the dean seriously with finality.
