Chapter 245: Ru Jis Gift (1/2)

{”I needed you to come with me to the Ancestral Training Grounds, but there's been a bit of a change in plans.”}

Xiao Hei hated going to the Ancestral Training Grounds the last time she went. Xiao Fang could tell that she didn't like it from her reaction, but there was no one he trusted more than her.

To get back at him, Xiao Hei suddenly had an idea.

”You made me wait for you. How are you going to repay me?” Xiao Hei acted mad.

Xiao Fang scratched the back of his head as he thought.

”Is there something you want?”

A smirk escaped her lips as she raised her arms up in the air. Xiao Fang could tell that she wanted to be carried, but he preferred not to do so, especially not here.

”That... can't we do it some other time?” He tried to change her mind.

Xiao Hei pouted.

Truth was, she was glad that he didn't carry her in the morning, because now she could do it while Li Xiang was watching.

Xiao Fang sighed. He made a mental note not to promise Xiao Hei anything ever again.

Xiao Fang finally got down on one knee then let her climb onto his back. Once her arms were wrapped around his neck, he placed his hands under her thighs, then stood back up.

”Yahha~”

Li Xiang watched as he carried her up in evny. It reminded her of the time Xiao Fang carried her during the Inner Court Exam.

Bai Fan couldn't stop smiling as she saw him reluctantly carry Xiao Hei up. She found it a bit amusing.

The 4 of them made their way to the Club Center. Along the way, Xiao Fang learned that Xiao Hei and Li Xiang were both in the martial arts club together, but neither of them had to do the tryouts to get in. Since the Martial Arts club was dominated by the Li family clansmen, Li Xiang was immediately accepted, and she was able to get Xiao Hei a fast pass into the club as well.

Besides the Martial Arts club, Xiao Hei and Li Xiang were both waiting to hear back from the Foods & Crafts club. It was by far the most popular Club in the sect, but only a few ever got in. For that reason, Li Xiang wasn't very confident about getting in, but Xiao Hei on the other hand seemed very optimistic about her chances. When asked why she was so confident, she would simply smile as if she had a secret she didn't want to tell.

When they finally arrived at the building, Xiao Fang stopped to tell Xiao Hei that he would pick her up from the martial arts club in 2 hours. Xiao Hei nodded as she made a mental note of it, then left with Li Xiang to go see if they got accepted into the Food & Crafts club first.

Standing outside of the Inscription club, Xiao Fang and Bai Fan both took out their club member identity tokens before walking in.

Xiao Fang was still blindfolded, but he could still detect what the girls in the inscription club were doing. Contrary to what he expected, there were several girls seated at a table, practicing inscriptions with a brush instead of their own Qi. Although, it seemed strange, it made sense. This way they wouldn't have to use up all their Qi to practice. This especially helped the girls who didn't have a very high spirit cultivation realm.

”Big Brother Long Wang, you came,” said a familiar voice.

A beautiful young girl with aqua blue eyes, shy pink lips, and fairly large breasts, approached Xiao Fang. This 159cm tall, 18 year old girl was none other than Xue Li.

”Seems I'm a bit late. I would've arrived sooner, but I got held up in class,” Xiao Fang said.

”It's alright, this is a club after all. You can come and go as you please. Come follow me, I'll show you around.”

Xue Li proceeded by giving Xiao Fang a tour of the place, and Bai Fan tagged along. Some of the other members started to take notice of the special treatment they were receiving, but they assumed Xue Li was only doing it for Bai Fan. However, a few of them began to notice that Xue Li was only talking to Xiao Fang.

The Inscription club was divided into several rooms. Each only allowing those with a certain level of skill to enter. Since Xiao Fang and Bai Fan were beginners they were only limited to what was available on the first floor. Although that would mean that they wouldn't be able to take part in the peer-mentorship sessions, or use any of the private practice rooms, it wasn't as bad as it seemed. There were still several study tools and reading materials to choose from. If they couldn't even learn anything from this floor. Then nothing on the next floor would make any sense to them anyways.

Xue Li chose a few things for him to start with before finding him a place to work.

”You can start with these. Once you're able to learn them you'll be given access to the 2nd floor,” Xue Li explained.

”Where will you be?” Bai Fan asked.

”I'll be on the top floor, but I'll be coming down to check on you regularly in case you have any questions.”
