C155 Cost (1/2)
Success would always come at a price. This price could be as small as a few coughs, or as small as six relatives, but in the end, they would lose something.
Returning from the tower, Chang Jing spent the entire night thinking about Xi Yan.
”What a headache. Why have you become so sentimental recently?”
In the morning, Chang Jing rubbed her temples as she walked out of her room.
”No way, what's got you all so excited?” Chang Jing asked them with bloodshot eyes that were filled with sleeplessness. Then, she said self-deprecatingly, ”It seems like I'm really old, so old that I can't even bring myself to think about things!”
They answered in unison, ”Today, the Holy Maiden is the one who is giving us blessings. This is the most honorable and proud matter, of course we have to be excited!”
Chang Jing laughed out loud, ”That's right, we will be blessed today, haha, haha...”
Huo Wu rolled her eyes at him and said, ”Tsk, your smile is so fake. You can tell that it's not sincere just by looking at it!”
”I am very sincere!” Chang Jing tried her best to put on the most sincere of expressions, ”To be blessed is a major event, an absolute major event!”
In the end, he suddenly remembered that the three of them had lived in isolated environments since they were young, so how could they be so interested in the matter of 'blessings'? So he asked them, ”Do you guys know the Holy Maiden very well?”
”Why should I know her?” The three of them spoke at the same time, ”Others say that this is the most proud thing in the world. As long as there's honor, it's fine!”

The first time she came here, she was just a cute little girl in the eyes of the people, or at most a cute little girl in the eyes of the people. But now, when they saw her, they cheered, and she knew that she had changed.
”Heh,” Chang Jing nudged her with her elbow and laughed, ”Little girl, I think you're very famous right now! Look, look, there's a handsome guy over there who's discharge you! ”
”Really,” Yin Feng purposely added on, ”I can see that he's not bad looking, he's just a little uglier than me, he's so much more handsome than our teacher!”
Nian Tu was the most honest out of the three men, but after hearing their words, he joked, ”Then wouldn't Huo Wu have to follow him from now on? ”It's such a pity. I originally planned to challenge the world with four people. What a pity, what a pity.”
When he said this, he didn't notice the gloomy expression on Huo Wu's face. After he finished speaking, he knew that he was going to be a scapegoat again soon.
she said darkly. ”Stubborn, what did you say!”
”I was just saying that the weather today is pretty good! ”Hee hee …”
