Fighting Break Sphere: My Days as a Tutor at Canaan College

Chapter 117 Gossip
"Ah? This... shouldn't be the case, right? Xiao Yue seems to have a lot of self-respect and self-love, how could she just sleep with someone else?"

"What do you know? He's an alchemist! If you can please an alchemist, he will give you some benefits afterwards, and you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"

"I think Xiao Yue pretends to be noble and noble, but she is really coquettish and cheap behind people's backs!"

……

The materials used in building the house are not very good and the sound insulation is very poor.

Not long after Xiao Yue returned home, she began to hear the neighbors' gossip behind her back, coming through the walls of the house.

tom!
Xiao Yue's mother put down the soup bowl tremblingly, gritted her teeth and stood up tremblingly.

“Ahem… Ahem! I’ll… I’ll tear their mouths apart!”

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly stopped him. Given her mother's current physical condition, if she went over, she would probably die there today.

"Mom, those people are just like that. They like to gossip about others behind their backs. It's not a one-day thing! Why bother to get angry with them..."

She said with red eyes.

On the couch, she was stopped by her own daughter. The anger that had just risen in her heart dissipated a lot, and the woman sighed weakly:

"Alas, it's mother... cough! cough..., it's because of mother's uselessness that you have to endure so much contempt and humiliation over the years..."

Amid her mother's sighs, Xiao Yue clutched the corner of her clothes, pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes were misty with tears gradually forming.

"Mom, how can this be blamed on you? It's not at all... it's not... your fault..."

Xiao Yue's voice became hoarse and tended to sob at some point.

It's not because of you...

reason……

The woman's thin, weak body trembled when she heard her daughter's words. Silently, she slowly turned her head to the side.

Yeah, it's not her fault.

The reason why this family has fallen to this state is, in the final analysis, because of that heartless man many years ago...

"Xiao Qi! You are so cruel! You have caused us so much suffering!!! Cough! Cough cough..."

The years of sorrow and misery that had accumulated in her heart were suddenly pulled away, and she could not hold it back any longer. In an instant, the sorrow burst out like a flood. The woman leaned over the couch and burst into tears.

pat!

pat...

In front of the couch, Xiao Yue raised her cheeks slightly, trying to stop the tears from falling.

But sometimes, when emotions come, no matter it is tears or smiles, they cannot be hidden.

……

I don’t know if the neighbors, those women who gossip all day long, heard the noise in the house, but in any case, the discussions suddenly stopped.

……

inside the house.

Time passed quietly amid the crying.

At some point, the mother and daughter suddenly hugged each other and cried.

But as the saying goes, tears must run out. In the end, the mother and daughter were tired of crying and snuggled together, not moving a single muscle.

Wait until the sky outside the window darkens.

On the couch, Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes and looked at her mother beside her with hazy vision.

It turned out that after the mother and daughter were so tired from working hard, they fell asleep without realizing it.

Feeling her mother's breathing beside her, which seemed to be more even than when she was resting normally, Xiao Yue carefully got up and got off the bed.

Returning to her room next door, she inexplicably recalled what Liu Xi, the scum alchemist in Wutan City's eyes, had said to her today:

"...You don't have to wait here. It's always good to spend more time practicing when you go back. Don't give up practicing. You are still young and there are many possibilities in the future. Even though you may be bullied for a while, you don't really want to serve others for the rest of your life, do you?"

"Don't give up practicing..."

Xiao Yue whispered, repeating these words.

Snap!
Suddenly, she pushed open the window of the room and looked out with slightly confused eyes.

Outside at this time, except for the lights in the surrounding buildings, the rest was pitch black. However, she raised her head slightly and looked at the sky above her head. Coincidentally, the moon that had been obscured by clouds gradually appeared, and the bright moonlight fell on this world.

extraordinary.

The moon tonight is approaching fullness.

It looks full and solid.

At this moment, the moonlight that parted the clouds seemed to shine through her eyes and into the depths of her heart.

-

At this time, Liu Xi, who was also in the Xiao family, but in a separate courtyard within the luxurious central building complex, was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch with his five hearts facing the sky. Since he came back, he had completed five major cycles of the technique.

"call……"

Liu Xi slowly exhaled a breath, opened his eyes and finished the exercise.

"Today's Dou Qi training has exceeded two hours. As expected, the efficiency of Dou Qi growth slows down a lot after this time."

After sensing the situation of the fighting spirit in his body, Liu Xi muttered to himself.

He guessed that the reason for this situation was probably a kind of self-protection of the meridians and veins of the human body, avoiding excessive load of breathing exercises, causing the fighting spirit to pass through these places frequently without rest, which might cause some sequelae.

Therefore, he just realized that when he practiced Dou Qi for more than two hours today, the circulation of Dou Qi in the meridians throughout his body suddenly became stagnant.

Originally, he might be able to complete a large cycle in less than half an hour, but after exceeding that time limit, the speed suddenly became unbearably slow, and it might take more than an hour to complete a large cycle.

"In this case, the elixirs, medicines and even special training environments that can keep people in a high-intensity fighting spirit training state are extremely valuable..."

Jump off the bed.

Stopping the practice of fighting spirit didn't mean he had nothing to do, such as alchemy and that earth-level fighting skill that he had barely mastered.

Liu Xi took out the long sword he bought at the Miter Auction House from the ring, walked out of the house, stood in the open yard, and planned to practice the basic sword skills twice to warm up.

[Ding! It is detected that "Xiao Yue of the Xiao Family" has changed his mood due to the host's words, triggering a main line supplementary task, namely: Side Quest 3]

[Ding! Side Quest 3: Life Mentor]

【Ding! Mission time limit: None.】

[Ding! Penalty for mission failure: None.]

……

In the middle of the open-air courtyard, Liu Xi stood with a sword in his hand, looking confused. The series of electronic synthesized sounds from the system that suddenly rang in his mind caught him off guard.

What does it mean that "Xiao Family·Xiao Yue"'s state of mind changes due to the host's words?

What did he do?
Ah? ? ?
