Chapter 124: Tricked into an illegal organization?

Unaware of Xia Yanqing's ulterior motives, Feng Yin accepted the pass Xia Yanqing handed her.

Then, he said a thank you that sounded fairly sincere, "Thanks."

She wasn't ungrateful. Although she looked down on Xia Yanqing, he had kindly applied for a pass for her, so it was only right that she thank him.

Xia Yanqing saw Feng Yin thank her, and a genuine smile flashed in her eyes.

The fact that he was willing to thank someone he disliked showed that he wasn't a bad person, which made Xia Yanqing's desire to recruit him even stronger.

Of course, having learned from his morning experience, he wasn't in a hurry to suffer another setback. Everything could be done step by step, and patience was something he had no shortage of.

"See you tomorrow, both of you." With that, Xia Yanqing turned and left.

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Xia." Shen Baisu waved perfunctorily at his back as she closed the door, the last word even being blocked by the door, so Xia Yanqing didn't hear it at all.

However, Shen Baisu didn't care about that. After closing the door, she immediately took Feng Yin into the space.

After that, the two sisters began to work in different ways: one focused on cultivation, and the other on weapon crafting.

**
The following day, Shen Baisu and Feng Yin left the space at the same time Xia Yanqing knocked on the door the day before.

The two had only taken a few steps outside when they ran into Xia Yanqing walking towards them.

"Good morning, Miss Shen and Miss Feng." Xia Yanqing was holding a potted plant with a small sapling inside, which was a golden nanmu tree.

Feng Yin nodded at him perfunctorily.

Shen Baisu then asked him, "Where is Mr. Xia going?"

Xia Yanqing: "I was worried that you two would forget the time, so I was just about to go and call you. Now it seems that I was just being redundant."

Shen Baisu nodded knowingly, then looked at the tree Xia Yanqing was hugging and asked, "What's this?"

"It's Phoebe zhennan."

"Didn't Miss Shen ask me to prepare a sapling last night? How about this one?"

As she spoke, Xia Yanqing held the tree up in front of Shen Baisu so she could see it.

Shen Baisu immediately guessed that Xia Yanqing was hugging the tree to make her grow faster.

He would certainly choose a tree like this, but he wouldn't think that growth-enhancing techniques could increase the tree's age, would he?

Shen Baisu was somewhat suspicious that Xia Yanqing really thought that way, so she said to Xia Yanqing, "I can only make plants grow faster by accelerating their growth, but I can't make them age longer."

Xia Yanqing knew why Shen Baisu said that, so he explained, "I didn't expect you to increase the tree's age. This is the tree I raised myself, and it's the only one. I really can't get any other saplings, so I thought I'd use this one to perform a growth-enhancing technique on you."

Every plant in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has an owner. If he dares to touch it, they will fight him to the death. Therefore, he can only give up the only green plant he has ever raised.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu nodded slightly, "I see."

“This tree is fine, but this pot isn’t.” As she spoke, Shen Baisu pointed her finger lightly at the rim of the pot. “We need to get a bigger one.”

"Otherwise, this pot will spoil later, and the tree might even extend its roots directly into the soil of the experimental field."

Shen Baisu knew that the teaching site was an experimental field.

If a golden nanmu tree were to grow inside and compete with the other trees for nutrients, the owner of the experimental field would probably not be happy. Therefore, she had to make it clear to Xia Yanqing in advance.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanqing's expression immediately turned serious. "I'll have someone buy a larger flowerpot right away."

Xia Yanqing held the golden nanmu in one arm and took out his phone with the other to make a call. After he finished the call, the three of them arrived at the teaching location.

Some senior students have already started meditating on their own, while others are still waiting.

Yesterday, although Xia Yanqing observed Shen Baisu's teaching process for a whole day and did not look for people with wood spirit roots, he still sent people to search for them, so there are still new students today.

Since the flowerpots hadn't arrived yet, Shen Baisu planned to have the freshmen learn the theory first.

"I've already taught the theory classes for two days, and I believe the first batch of students have memorized them. Today, I'll select someone from the first batch to give a lecture on the theory to today's new students."

The senior students naturally noticed the new students today. Having learned from yesterday's experience, the first batch of students thought that Shen Baisu would spend a long time explaining the theory, just like yesterday, and some of them had already started to lose interest.

They had even prepared themselves to either meditate alone or embark on a mission. Unexpectedly, Shen Baisu acted completely out of the ordinary.

She was supposed to teach the freshmen theory, but instead of teaching it herself, she had to find someone else to do it.

In an instant, the first group of students felt like they were back in their student days. Those who could remember the theory were confident, while those who couldn't were hesitant and timid.

Shen Baisu scanned the first batch of students, and finally, she called out a name, "Ms. Min Yu, I'd like to trouble you to give today's theory lesson."

As soon as Shen Baisu finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction she was looking.

After looking around for less than a minute, everyone's eyes fell on the person standing at the back.

Behind a tree, far from the crowd, stood a person wearing a mask and hat, whose gender and age were indistinguishable.

He hunched over, leaning against a tree, half his body hidden behind it.

With so many eyes watching Min Yu, she nervously hid behind the tree even more, only revealing half of her head, which was completely covered.

After being stared at for about ten seconds, the person finally spoke tremblingly, "M-Ms. Su, I...I don't know how to speak."

As soon as Min Yu spoke, everyone knew her gender; she was a girl, and probably quite young.

Since Min Yu had said that, everyone assumed that Shen Baisu would definitely have to find someone else, and so some people started to get nervous again.

But Shen Baisu didn't rush to find anyone else. She looked at Min Yu seriously and asked, "Why can't you speak? Did you not remember it? Or did you not understand?"

Min Yu: "I remember it and I understand it, but... I feel like I can't explain it well."

Shen Baisu: "It's okay if I don't explain it well, I'll add more details."

As she spoke, Shen Baisu stepped aside, giving her seat to Min Yu. "From now on, this place belongs to you. It doesn't matter whether you speak well or not; I will add to it."

Upon hearing this, Min Yu remained hesitant, neither refusing nor moving forward, simply standing there uneasily.

Seeing this, Shen Baisu asked, "Would you like to give it a try?"

Min Yu nodded slightly to Shen Baisu.

Shen Baisu: "Okay, I'll save the opportunity for you. When can you be ready?"

Min Yu stared at Shen Baisu for several seconds, then bit her lip and took small steps toward Shen Baisu.

Under everyone's gaze, she stood beside Shen Baisu.

"Hello everyone, my name is Min Yu. Now, I will be giving a lecture on theory to today's freshmen."

The freshmen were unhappy as soon as Min Yu opened her mouth.

"Why should we be taught by a young girl who has only been learning for two days?"

"Exactly, not only is the voice low, but they're also wearing a mask, so it's impossible to hear them."

"Don't let her teach you, aren't you the one who was hired as a teacher? Are you just taking a salary and not doing any work? You teach."

……

Once one person spoke up, the others immediately joined in the clamor.

However, the noise didn't last long, because everyone who caused trouble was knocked unconscious by Feng Yin.

The scene fell into silence.

Feng Yin raised her chin slightly and threatened them, "Try making another sound, and believe me, I'll throw you out."

"Junior Sister has her reasons for making arrangements. Just listen to her. If you don't want to listen, then get lost! What are you yelling about? If you don't know how to get lost, I can help you."

As Feng Yin spoke, he crushed a brick in front of everyone.

Everyone: "..."

Weren't we invited by the government to learn rescue techniques?
It feels like I've been tricked into joining some illegal organization.
