Catalogue of forbidden Taoist techniques

This was the most difficult student she had ever seen.

Back then, Yukinoshita Haruno was not as outrageous as him, and she could actually predict the future?

Could it be that this guy actually learned the ability to read minds, which is why he could make someone like Yang Noi fall so deeply in love with a kid of his age?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes were hesitant for a moment.

"It certainly seems so."

Ling Wuji added another stab.

So Hiratsuka Shizuka could only try her best to calm herself down, and then said: "In short, they are still working hard for their dreams, but their results are still not improving, so can you help them?"

"But didn't I tell you earlier?" Ling Wuji said, "In fact, it's very simple to improve grades. It's just repetitive training. Doing more exercises and memorizing the answers to more questions will definitely improve grades. The reason why their grades haven't improved yet is that they must be just saying that on the surface. In private, they probably get sleepy as soon as they start reading. So the best way is to find a tutor to supervise them. It's purely a matter of money..."

Ling Wuji's words sounded like an easy thing to say.

Economic problems are huge problems that are difficult to solve for ordinary people.

"But it seems that it's useless to ask us for help with such a big problem, right?" Ling Wuji thought of this and added, "And then again, if their families really have financial problems, then reality will definitely not allow them to pursue their dreams, but will force them to take the easiest way to solve their financial problems."

Volume 5: Stormy and Dark: Chapter 7: Eloquence

When Hiratsuka Shizuka heard what Ling Wuji said, she immediately wondered why she thought that someone like Ling Wuji was worth reforming?

"I find it strange too," Ling Wuji said, "So, teacher, do you want to kick me out of this club?"

"What would you do if I said yes?"

"It doesn't matter. If I can't find fun here, I'll just go find fun somewhere else."

Ling Wuji originally didn't have much feelings for this so-called "Fishing Club". In his eyes, it was just a place to kill time. However, if he quit the club now, he would probably have to punch in at Zhao Suyi earlier in the future. When he thought of this, Ling Wuji felt a little resistant and decided to find a club in school that could delay time. Perhaps he should go to help Justisa Rizleich von Einzbern?

It is said that she also came up with a "Prometheus Project". Ling Wuji is preparing to find out more about it and change the name of the project to "Suiren Project" or "Kunlun Project" or something like that. Otherwise, it would be a bit disjointed for an organization called Penglai to have a project named after an allusion to Western mythology.

Seeing that Ling Wuji looked thoughtful and was really considering leaving, Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately pressed her temples.

She was afraid that he would really make her so angry that she would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

"Do you hate tutoring those two people so much?"

"If you remove the words 'those two', my answer will be an affirmative sentence."

"Yes, you really don't seem like a patient person."

"Although I don't know what kind of image I have in your eyes, teacher, I don't think I am an impatient person. I just don't have patience for such boring things." Ling Wuzhi said casually.

“Does chasing your dreams seem like a boring thing to you?”

Ling Wuji took a serious look at the violent female teacher, considered his words, and said, "I have no intention of offending you..."

"Generally speaking, people who start their words with something like this are definitely being offensive!"

"Like starting with 'I'll be fair' will definitely be biased towards one side?"

"You really understand..." When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard Ling Wuji's complaints, she wanted to impart her life experience on this issue, or expand her workplace experience. However, she soon realized that she was being misled by Ling Wuji again, so she coughed twice and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I just want to say that dreams don't have much meaning."

"High school disease?"

When Hiratsuka Shizuka heard Ling Wu Ji say this, her eyes lit up and she said.

"What do you mean by second-year high school disease? I'm only in the first year of high school now."

"Not in a few months."

"Hearing what you said, I suddenly felt that you are not far from turning thirty."

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately clenched her right hand into a fist, and crisp noises spread out immediately, causing the bystander Hikigaya Hachiman to feel a sincere admiration for Ling Wuji. Although he already had a deep understanding of Ling Wuji's recklessness, now, seeing Ling Wuji's behavior of stepping into Hiratsuka Shizuka's minefield without any care, he still felt that there must be some big shot behind the scenes who was watching Ling Wuji since he had not been bribed and sunk into Tokyo Bay.

"Student Ling, a lady's age is a taboo topic, right?"

At this time, Joan of Arc stood up and tried to ease the atmosphere by saying.

"Yes, the topic of age is indeed a taboo for you..."

Ling Wuji said this with a hint of meaning.

Jeanne knew what Ling Wuji meant and wanted to say something else, but she was concerned about the ordinary people like Yukinoshita Yukino around, so she stopped talking.

At this time, Hiratsuka Shizuka also calmed down her anger. She repeatedly convinced herself that it was meaningless to be angry at someone like Ling Wuji. In fact, if Ling Wuji was really as thin as he looked, she might be able to correct it with physical means like Hikigaya Hachiman did. But she had tried it and found that Ling Wuji was not someone who would be intimidated by force, so she could only take it step by step.

"By the way, do you like watching anime and comics?"

"Occasionally." Ling Wuji just said.

"That means I like it. Why do you like it?"

"I can't say I particularly like it, but I can't say I hate it either. It's just a way to kill time."

Ling Wuji thought about it and found that he had indeed rarely read these things recently. Whether it was the most popular comics in Japan at the moment or the animation hegemony of the season, he had no memory of them. From this perspective, it seemed that he was about to leave his home life.

It's obvious that he hasn't even watched "White Album 2".

At most, I've only heard of "Tokugawa Kanai Koi".

"What about general literature? Do you like Keigo Higashino and Kotaro Isaka?"

“I don’t read mystery novels.”

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that Ling Wuji was indeed quite a troublesome person.

Although Ling Wuji didn't seem like an ordinary high school student.

Some of the common qualities that high school students should have seemed to not exist for him.

But she still held on to a last glimmer of hope and asked, "So what kind of literature do you usually read?"

"Jorge Luis Borges's novels."

"Who?"

Ling Wu Ji immediately looked at the Chinese teacher with contempt.

"What are you looking at?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was furious.

"I thought that even though Chinese language teachers are speaking their own language, they should be more or less interested in other countries' literature. It seems that I made a mistake in my preconceived notions. I need to reflect on myself."

But Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't think he was the kind of person who would reflect on himself.

"Knowing the name of an obscure writer isn't something to be proud of, is it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but interrupt when she heard that they had strayed from the main topic for so long and hadn't continued talking about the two second-year girls.

"I don't think it's anything to be complacent about, but I'm just concerned about the average quality of teachers in Japan."

"So in your opinion you don't know Bol... Bol..."

“Borges.”

Ling Wuzhi considerately repeated the name, and fearing that she didn't know who it was, he opened the Japanese interface of O-base Encyclopedia and showed it to her on his mobile phone.

Yukinoshita Yukino became so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't say a word.

Liliana, who was standing next to him, could only marvel at how Ling Wuji handled such mundane topics with ease. She thought that some people were indeed born different from ordinary people. Someone like her, who had been burdened with family expectations since childhood, could only read some popular romance novels at most and write a little in private, but she would never be able to delve into literature to this extent.

Volume 5: Dark and Stormy: Chapter 8: Flirting

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka thought that maybe Ling Wuji just knew of this name and had never read many of this person's works, she herself was completely in the dark and obviously had no say on this issue. She wanted to say that Ling Wuji was suffering from the symptoms of high school syndrome, and that the Borges that Ling Wuji mentioned was indeed a niche novelist who even she had never heard of. However, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was no point in criticizing Ling Wuji with the symptoms of high school syndrome.

For someone like him, even if he came to that conclusion, he would just accept it without a care in the world or just laugh it off, right?

Is it possible that life is really empty and meaningless as he said?

Instead, Hiratsuka Shizuka was misled by Ling Wuzhi's thoughts and fell into a state of mind similar to Waiting for Godot.

"teacher……"

Hikigaya Hachiman was very worried about Hiratsuka Shizuka's current mental state, so he asked.

"what?"

"Please cheer up!"

"Don't you still have life?"

As soon as Ling Wuji said this, everyone in the classroom looked at him sideways.

It sounded as if Shizuka Hiratsuka had lost everything except her life.

"I haven't lost hope," Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But, you, a kid, have you also seen that work?"

"For some personal reasons, I went to watch a few episodes, but I didn't finish them," Ling Wuji said.

"what reason?"

"They all said it was for personal reasons."

Ling Wuji couldn't say that he had really seen Athena and wanted to put her image into the game, so he found a bunch of modern literary works and threw them to her to let her feel the excessive literary and artistic creation impulse of modern people and the secondary creation that was almost blasphemous to mythology.

"Teacher, what are you talking about?"

"Saint Seiya."

"Oh."

It feels like a very age-appropriate topic.

Hikigaya Hachiman finally held back and didn't say this out loud.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka was stimulated by Ling Wuji's words, she immediately returned to her normal state. She was too lazy to continue arguing with Ling Wuji on those endless topics. She was sure that Ling Wuji was hopeless, and it was unlikely that anyone, even Yukinoshita Haruno, could change him. Either he would suddenly realize it one day, although the possibility was too low. After he realized it, he would either prepare to destroy the world, or hide in the mountains and forests and never care about worldly affairs again, or someone would really walk into his heart, like the plot in a very clichéd romance novel, and influence him so that he could treat the world well from then on.

Although the possibility of this is also pitifully low.

It’s not that there is anyone who would like Ling Wu Ji’s question.

After all, no matter how bad Ling Wuji's personality is, his face is enough to make many girls like him more as soon as they meet him, although it is estimated that the girls who can change him will not be superficial. Of course, Hiratsuka Shizuka is not saying that Ling Wuji has no redeeming qualities except for his face. At least Ling Wuji himself is not mediocre, and this is enough to make many girls interested in him.

After all, honest people are the least likable.

So she completely gave up on reforming Ling Wuji verbally, and said to him in a businesslike manner: "Since you named this club, you must agree with the purpose of establishing this club, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed in this club until now. In this case, the two second-year girls do have their troubles. No matter what, you should help them, right?"

"I won't say that I only do what I can," Ling Wuji just said, "After all, if I do what I can in this club, I'm afraid I will really become an omnipotent wish-granting machine. So, I will only propose methods to them according to the purpose of this club. As for whether they can do it, that's their business. It has nothing to do with me after that."

Shizuka Hiratsuka was quite concerned about what Ling Wuji said before. She didn't think that Ling Wuji was the kind of person who spoke without purpose. He said that he would become a wish-making machine, and maybe it would really be like that. However, after hearing his last words, she just nodded.

Then he turned around and walked out.
