18 King of the hill (2/2)
”I was stuck in the infirmary. I thought most of the school knew of my fight. Well...sorry for all the trouble.”
”Wait you're THAT Xin Fan? My name is Lan Shi, fourth grade by the way. Nice to meet you.”
An energetic girl in a pink apron shook his hands while introducing herself.
”What do you mean THAT Xin Fan. Did I miss something?”
Nong Tumin seemed to be confused at the reaction of the two.
”How can you not know. There are a couple of monsters in the first grade. This kid is one of them.”
”How am I supposed to know Lan Hung. You know I am too busy to care about the current affairs. So what did this kid do?”
The boy wearing green apron rubbed his temples. He had a similar shade of grey hair to that of the girl. Xin Fan immediately assumed from the name and appearance that they were siblings.
”Xin Fan fought 3 other students with 2nd stage cultivation simultaneously and defeated them without a scratch. I heard that there was another kid called Chilong who did the same thing but nobody seems to want to talk about it.”
Nong Tumin eventually understood the situation and accepted Xin Fan's apology. The three decided to introduce themselves to the new member. Nong Tumin was exhausted on their first encounter and it is only now that Xin Fan actually got to know him.
”I am Nong Tumin as you know. I am the club leader.”
”As I said before, I am Lan shi of the fourth grade. This over here is my little brother Lan Hung. He is in the third grade. As you can see, the club is only us four now.”
”Well there is no use staying here. Lets go to the farm.”
The three led Xin Fan to the farms and showed off their plot of land. Nong Tumin was the first to show off his land.
”This Is my land. I am growing mostly ordinary cabbages. I am growing a few spirit plants. Spirit plants are plants that have special effects in case you didn't know.”
The four made their way to another plot of land. This plot was larger than the one used by Nong Tumin. This is because the siblings were sharing their workload and co-owning it.
”This is our farm. We grow eggplants and winter melons. Soon, we will also start growing spirit plants.”
They moved towards Xin Fan's plot of land. They were quite amazed at the size of his. Xin Fan felt satisfaction as he saw sprouts of green covering his land.
”Did, you plant these all in one afternoon?”
”Yeah. I just planted what was left in the bag.”
”If I remember correctly, these are cabbages. They sell for quite a bit. Just tell me when they are all grown and I would send them to our client. You will receive 30% of the profits and the rest would go to the school and buying more seeds. Of course, the profits from the seeds you buy yourself all go to you.”
The four returned back to the classroom after touring each others plots of land. It was getting late and Xin Fan returned to the dorm to eat dinner and go to sleep.

That very Midnight, the sound whisper echoed throughout the bedroom.
”Hey did you see that fight?”
”No...Don't you dare.”
”I feel like challenging him.”
”Don't even think about it.”
”But he seems so strong. And he sorta pisses me off. Please I will let you take over whenever you want.”
”Fine...only once...and do it somewhere inconspicuous.”
