Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 426 Seven Killing Sword - Chen Xiaoyu

Following the welcoming corridor that Ning Tian had mentioned, he walked along a winding, glazed stone path. The path was so steep that he couldn't see inside at a glance, which was quite in line with the saying that "water flows in a winding path and goes straight without wealth."

Even if some villains did manage to break in, they would probably wander around in these winding corridors and be captured before they could find any occupied buildings.

As Chen Ping strolled along, stopping and starting, for at least the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a small figure appeared between two screens in the corridor ahead of him.

Chen Ping rubbed his eyes and looked closely, discovering that the small figure was actually a little girl who was no more than eleven or twelve years old. Her small face was round and fair, with a healthy, faint blush that made one want to gently poke it.

At this moment, the little girl was struggling to squeeze through the narrow gap, which was so narrow that even a large dog would have a hard time passing through. Her face was flushed.

The corridor where Chen Ping was standing was the one that separated the east and west mansions. Each screen-like partition, decorated with intricate glazed patterns, was only about 20 centimeters wide at the top, and no adult could possibly squeeze through it.

“Hey—whoosh!”

With a soft, childish cry, the little girl finally managed to pull herself out of the crack, just like pulling up a radish.

"You, you're Chen Ping, right?"

With great effort, the little girl crawled through the partition and scrambled to her feet.

He first patted off non-existent dust from his buttocks, then tidied up the two little tufts of hair at the back of his head before pointing at Chen Ping and speaking.

"Yes, I am Chen Ping. Little sister, what's your name?"

When Chen Ping saw this tiny little guy, it was as if he saw Ning Tian and Wu Feng when he first entered the school, and he smiled and spoke.

The little girl in front of me was wearing the unique attire of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School disciples: a delicate dark blue brocade jacket trimmed with silver, and a matching skirt, but it was clearly a specially made miniature version, with a miniature sword embroidered on the corner of the skirt.

"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you that I am one of the five golden flowers of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in this generation, Chen Xiaoyu!"

The little girl immediately straightened her back, put her hands on her hips, and spoke triumphantly, as if the title of "Five Golden Flowers" was something extraordinary.

Chen Ping was indeed somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Of course, he was not surprised that Chen Xiaoyu was one of the five golden flowers of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in this generation, but rather that Chen Xiaoyu's surname was surprising.

"Your surname is Chen? Your martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword?"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Chen Xiaoyu was immediately taken aback. She took a half step back, hugged herself with her arms, and looked on warily.

"How did you know my martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword? Can you read minds?"

At this point, Chen Xiaoyu's tone was a mixture of fear, curiosity, and admiration, and she was less wary of Chen Ping, this stranger.

Chen Ping burst out laughing. He truly hadn't expected that there would be a successor of the Seven Kill Sword within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Perhaps this is not necessarily Chen Xin's bloodline, but just because this little girl's surname is Chen and her martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Ping felt that his trip to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was definitely worthwhile.

At this moment, in the west courtyard of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng had finally escaped the interrogation of their two fathers and a group of sect elders. They sat in a pavilion in the west courtyard, looking completely exhausted.

These days, the two girls are terrified whenever they see the sect's council hall, but there's nothing they can do about it, since the soul that Chen Ping brought is of such great significance to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At this point, not only did Ning Tian and Wu Feng not dare to go to the sect's council hall, but even Ning Tian's soul didn't dare to come out.
In the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, those elders took turns petting the Silver Moon Wolf King, almost shaving its fur bald. Just as Ning Tian and Wu Feng were lying on the stone table in the pavilion, listlessly recovering their energy, a mature-looking woman, about twenty years old, dressed in black, walked towards them. Beside her was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who looked quite similar to Ning Tian.

"Second sister, third sister, we've been counting down the days until now, and you're finally willing to come back instead of going out to be with your lover?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Tian and Wu Feng blushed slightly and looked towards the source of the voice.

The woman who called Wu Feng and Ning Tian "Second Sister" and "Third Sister" was slender with long, flowing blue hair that cascaded down her back. Her eyes were the same color as her hair, and her tone carried a hint of teasing, as well as an envy that was easy to miss if one didn't pay close attention.

"Eldest sister, fourth sister."

The two quickly got up and greeted the two people who came over.

In fact, if you include the girl named Chen Xiaoyu whom Chen Ping just met, all five beauties of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School are already here.

In the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, "Golden Flower" is not a particularly good title, since it is common knowledge that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of money.

The "Golden Flower" allusion actually refers to a girl in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who, after awakening her martial soul, has yet to find a partner.

After all, only Jin Hua in the world needs nothing and can bloom on her own.
The girl in black in front of them is Ye Xin'er, the eldest of the five golden flowers and the most eligible bachelor in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Next to her is Ning Tian's younger sister, Ning Lan.

"If that's what you mean, Sister Ye, then the young master and I won't listen to you anymore. We agreed not to talk about this anymore."

Upon hearing this, Wu Feng quickly spoke up, causing Ye Xin'er, who was called the eldest sister, to giggle.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about what you saw and heard in the Sun Moon Empire. Anyway, I've already arranged for Xiaoyu to deliver the token."

"Since you two always say that this guy is a womanizer but not completely so, Lan'er and I, as sisters, will take this opportunity to help you check him out and see if this guy you always say is really a womanizer."

"A token?" Ning Tian was taken aback at first, and after exchanging a glance with Wu Feng, they both belatedly saw the ominous look in each other's eyes.

"Oh no, Sister Ye, hurry up and bring Xiaoyu back. Wu Feng and I were too embarrassed to tell Chen Ping what the token was for, we just told him to keep it on and not take it off."

“If you give all the tokens to Chen Ping, that idiot will wear them all on his person.”

“If you wear any of the bracelets here, you will enjoy them endlessly. They are truly ‘enjoyable in all four seasons and abundant with delicacies during the eight festivals.’”

"Even the finest silks and satins that you won't wear for ten years or more, or the gold and silver that you'll never use in your lifetime, are all within your grasp as long as you wear the bracelet in my hand. It's up to you, Chen Ping, to choose."

At this moment, in the middle of the corridor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xiaoyu skipped and hopped along with Chen Ping, reciting all the lines that Ye Xiner had told her as if she were reciting a script, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I see. You're selling lucky bracelets, right? Ning Tian and Wu Feng both gave me one."

Chen Ping nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he took out a few gold soul coins and various kinds of candies unique to the Sun Moon Empire, grabbed a handful, and stuffed them into Chen Xiaoyu's purse. He then swapped all three bracelets in Chen Xiaoyu's hand with his own and immediately put them on his own wrists.

He liked this kind of equipment with a luck bonus the most. Although Chen Ping felt that the probability of this thing having a luck bonus was not high, it was still a lucky necklace bought from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Who could say for sure?

　The original novel doesn't mention the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School at all. I spent hours sitting in front of the computer, brainstorming plot points, characters, and the school's foundation. Today's file is only 4K. I'm taking a day off.
　　However, the overall situation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has been almost figured out today, and updates will resume normally tomorrow. Dear readers who haven't had enough, please don't worry, I really did have writer's block. Sorry, the following plot will be very smooth!
