Chapter 110: Mission Accomplished (2)
“You’re too greedy.”
“Do I care?” Mrs. Lu didn’t care that she said it out loud. Besides, Lu Ping was far away now.
She thought for a moment and said, “But I still prefer Yiyi.”
As soon as they flew out, Huang Xiaoqi returned to her arrogant self.
The three of them flew for a while, and Lu Ping separated from Huang Xiaoqi and Bai Xiruo.
Cui Mengyao still had class today, and since it was Saturday, they had arranged to meet in the afternoon.
They had just finished eating and went to class.
Lu Ping came to Cui Mengyao’s house and knocked on the door.
It was Cui Mengyao who opened the door.
Lu Ping entered the house and found that Cui Mengyao was the only one at home.
“Where’s your mother?” Lu Ping asked casually.
“She went downstairs to buy something.” Cui Mengyao pulled Lu Ping and said, “Mr. Lu, come in quickly. I drew a portrait of you! Do you like it?”
Lu Ping was stunned. He didn’t expect this girl to know how to draw.
He changed into slippers and entered the house. Cui Mengyao ran into the bedroom and took out a portrait.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTo Lu Ping’s surprise, Cui Mengyao’s drawing was very good!
Lu Ping couldn’t help but praise, “It’s really good. Are you giving it to me?”
Cui Mengyao shook her head and smiled, “No, I’m just showing it to you.”
Yeah, why would she give it to Lu Ping? She wanted to keep it for herself.
But this little girl didn’t like Lu Ping in that way.
It was because in her heart, Lu Ping was like her father.
Her memory of her father had long faded. At school, Lu Ping was her favorite teacher.
Unconsciously, she started to think of Lu Ping as her father.
In addition to Lu Ping’s tutoring at home, Cui Mengyao felt even closer to Lu Ping.
“Mr. Lu, you’re not angry, right?” The little girl rejected Lu Ping, but was still a little worried about his feelings.
Seeing that he was overthinking things, Lu Ping rubbed his nose.
He smiled and said, “Of course I’m not angry. You can keep the portrait.”
Cui Mengyao nodded and smiled, “I’ll draw another one for you in the future. I’ll give it to you when I’m done!”
“Okay!” Lu Ping agreed. He looked at the little girl in front of him and asked seriously, “Do you really like swordsmanship and don’t want to give up?”
Hearing this question, Cui Mengyao lowered her head. She thought that Lu Ping was trying to persuade her to switch to alchemy.
She said in a low voice, “I do like swordsmanship, but Mr. Lu, you and my mother have said that alchemy is more suitable for me, so I think learning alchemy is also good.”
As she said this, the light in her eyes dimmed.
She couldn’t help it.
She didn’t want Lu Ping to be disappointed.
Whether it was the child’s subconscious respect for her teacher or Cui Mengyao’s desire for Lu Ping to be her father, she didn’t want to say anything that would disappoint Lu Ping.
At the very least, she thought that Lu Ping wanted her to learn alchemy.
But the child was still a child, how could her actions be hidden from Lu Ping?
Lu Ping squatted down and said in a gentle tone, “Mengyao, look up at me and tell me the truth. Don’t worry, I won’t be angry. But if you don’t tell me the truth, I will be angry.”
Cui Mengyao looked up and looked at Lu Ping’s gentle gaze. The little girl felt a sense of security in her heart.
Finally, she said, “I like swordsmanship. I hope that one day, I can become the swordsman that teachers talk about.”
Lu Ping was glad that he asked again.
Looking at the light in the little girl’s eyes and listening to her words, Lu Ping suddenly understood.
Her love for swordsmanship might have been ignited by him.
If he extinguished it with his own hands again, it would be too cruel.
“Then how about this, I’ll tell your mother that every time we go to class, we’ll study alchemy for an hour and a half and then practice swordsmanship for another half an hour. Do you think this is okay?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing this, a smile blossomed on Cui Mengyao’s face!
“Alright!”
She was very happy! It was great to be able to go to class with Mr. Lu and practice the swordsmanship that she wanted to practice.
“Ding dong! Cui Mengyao’s knot in her heart has been resolved. Guidance completed. Reward: Xun Li Wood Fire Art (limited to Cui Mengyao)”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to host for obtaining an increase in affinity between wood and fire elements.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to host for obtaining a Foundation Establishment stage grade A wood type spell: Broken Wood Regeneration. Consume a large amount of spiritual energy and quickly heal external injuries.”
“Ding dong! Congratulations to host for obtaining a Foundation Establishment stage grade A fire element spell: Divine Fire. Summon the divine fire of the heart and launch a fire attack.” ????????n????????а????. ????????m
A series of notifications rang out, and Lu Ping was overjoyed.
“Ding dong! Stage two mission! Host, please impart the Xun Li Wood Fire Art to Cui Mengyao and explain alchemy to her. Each lesson will garner a reward of 100 Master points and a 500% increase in host’s skill proficiency.”
“During the orientation course, Cui Mengyao’s adaptability to the Xun Li Wood Fire Art has increased, and her understanding of alchemy has increased.”
Obviously, this was a long-term mission.
However, this reward could be considered extremely generous.
While teaching, one could also obtain Master points and an increase in spell proficiency.
500% proficiency in a class was many times faster than one’s own practice!
Lu Ping suddenly felt that it was a pity that he could only give Cui Mengyao three classes a week.
At that moment, the door opened and Lin Yueyin entered the room.
When she saw Lu Ping, she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. I went to the supermarket to buy something.”
