CH 19

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Gu Qingan spoke with Li Wanbai before taking the lead towards the cafeteria.

“Eh, um.”

Li Wanbai was a little confused, and she followed Gu Qing’an without even realising it.

She also had no idea what was going on with herself.

“How come I invited Miss Gu directly?”

“But what if she refused?”

“Surprisingly, she agreed.”

Li Wanbai was completely overwhelmed, and her mind was a tangled mess.

Gu Qing’an led the way, and Li Wanbai followed her step by step from behind.

At that point, it was lunchtime, and many people were making their way to the cafeteria.

Gu Qing’an seemed like she was taking a leisurely stroll, and naturally a few eyes fell on her.

“Good day, Miss Gu.” Someone took the initiative to greet Gu Qing’an enthusiastically upon seeing her.

Gu Qing’an nodded at him casually.

“Miss Gu noticed me.”

“Miss Gu gave me a nod!”

There were many people stationed here, and Gu Qing’an found familiar faces she had seen in the true transmission test before.

Although they were not selected during the test, they were still good seedlings and could be used as rangers.

Jing Yousi was not only a true martial artist, but also a ranger who had been taught basic martial arts and Daoist Sword Techniques.

These rangers shouldn’t be underestimated; a few skilled rangers with the sword techniques could fight off some weak demons and were better at tracking, scouting, and gathering information.

And the rangers accumulated merit and wealth, and cultivated the next generation of qualified fighters to participate in the test.

Luckily, only a direct descendant.

Of course, these things had nothing to do with Li Wanbai now.

Li Wanbai lowered her head and stared at Gu Qing’an’s heel.

She thought shyly, “Why are there so many people…”

At that moment, a voice came into her ears, and Li Wanbai froze.

Who is she?

How could she get so close to Miss Gu?

I was noticed!

“Seems like her name is Li Wanbai…”

“Hmm… eh!” A cool white jade hand held her hand.

She looked up and saw a warm smile on Gu Qing’an’s face.

“Let’s go faster, eh?”

“Okay… okay.”

The two quickened their pace and left from the invasion of shocked and envious eyes around them.

“If I could hold Miss Gu’s hand, I wouldn’t wash my hands today.”

“Is that all?” Some people disdained, “I will not wash my hands for a week.”

“Hmph, it’s only a week, I can do that for a month.”

……

They arrived on the second floor of the canteen.

Not many people were sitting anywhere on the second floor.

The second floor was limited to the talented, the dishes were more exquisite, and there were many spiritual medicinal foods that were effective for cultivation.

It was worth mentioning that the canteen of Jingyao Division was free of charge.

Gu Qing’an had steaming dishes in front of her, but she was not in a hurry to move her chopsticks at that time.

She put her hand on her face and looked at Li Wanbai, who was sitting opposite.

Li Wanbai was a little shy. “Miss Gu, don’t you want to eat…?”

“No hurry.” Gu Qing’an smiled at her. She looked at Li Wanbai and said, “Wanbai, why did you suddenly invite me?”

Just that I… like you very much.

However, it was impossible for her to say these words now.

Li Wanbai stopped talking for a while, and then she opened her mouth.

“Miss Gu gave me a cold light pendant the day before. I’d like to thank Miss Gu.”

Gu Qing’an blinked and smiled.

“Eat.”

She ate without speaking.

Although the Li family from which Li Wanbai was born declined, she was still from a noble family.

Gu Qing’an did not care much about these false things.

But, Li Wanbai didn’t dare to look at her, and kept her head down under her gaze.

After lunch, they rinsed their mouths with warm water and got up to leave.

Gu Qing’an walked out of the canteen, and suddenly a soft thing bumped into her arms.

Peng!

“Ouch! It hurts…”

Gu Qing’an looked at it, and what caught her eye was a petite little girl with cute baby fat on her face.

“Ah?” Gu Qing’an raised her brows and was about to help her up.

But, the little girl suddenly bounced off the ground and patted her butt.

Looking at Gu Qing’an and others in front of her, nervousness appeared in her eyes.

Gu Qing’an grabbed her collar at once, like grabbing the back of a cat’s neck.

Seeing that she couldn’t run, she opened her eyes and looked at Gu Qing’an pitifully.

“Don’t tell my dad that I ran away, okay?”

“I’ll make you ice cream!”

Li Wanbai was at a loss and looked at Gu Qing’an.

Ice cream? Could it be an ice drink?

Gu Qingan looked at the child and felt interested in her heart.

“What’s your name?”

“Lin Mengran.” The little girl explained quickly.

As soon as Gu Qing’an put down Lin Mengran, she walked to the back kitchen on the second floor of the canteen, made a ‘shush’ gesture to Gu Li and the others, and walked in tiptoe.

She skillfully found a bottle of cream and a lot of fruit in the back kitchen, and with a little bit of knife work, she got three plates of fruits, and then squeezed the cream.

“Is this ice cream?” Gu Qing’an’s face was “This is it”.

“It’s not done yet!” Lin Mengran felt that she was being despised, and her little round face was puffed up.

She took out a basin of water, her face was serious. She muttered something in her mouth, and stretched out her hand.

After a while of incomprehensible incantation.

Frozen!

The cold air was overflowing, and the water in the basin froze at a very fast speed, and the ice was mashed and poured into the fruit bowl.

There were three plates of ice cream that looked like a sundae in front of her.

Gu Qing’an tasted it, and her eyes lit up.

Lin Mengran snorted softly and raised her head proudly.

She didn’t speak, but the expression on her face, “I’m amazing, praise me quickly” was beyond words.

Li Wanbai exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Qing’an’s eyes moved, and she asked, “Is this Daoism?”

Lin Mengran nodded proudly.

“How is it, great, right?”

“After another two years, I will be consummated in the Spiritual Realm.”

“In order to learn Daoism, I have to read books for a long time every day, and if I slip out, I will be caught back.”

Speaking of this, her little round face stepped down again.

However, the little guy’s emotions changed quickly.

She took two bites of ice cream, and her face became filled with joy.

The satisfaction of eating sugar was etched in her DNA.

Gu Qing’an said at this time, “How is the realm of Daoism divided?”

She was very curious about what Daoism, which was as famous as martial arts, was like.

“Spirit Plant, Dongzhen, Tongfa, I don’t know the above. Dad told me not to be too ambitious.”#pleasereadthischapteratwondernovels.com

Xiao Mengran stuck out her tongue.

Gu Qingan then asked, “Does the book you read teach you the principles of this Daoism?”

“The principle?” Lin Mengran was puzzled,

“What do you mean?”

“That’s why using Daoism can turn water into ice.” Gu Qing’an explained.

“Oh, of course.”

“Daoism is the principle of the change of heaven and earth, and the wonder of all things in nature. It is the summary and development of the laws of heaven and earth by the sages,” Lin Mengran proudly said.

“For example, when the temperature is low, the water freezes. The sages observed, experimented, summarised, and then used Daoism to simulate natural changes…”

Lin Mengran started a long speech.

At that moment, a rather helpless male voice echoed.

“Mengran, you are indeed here again.”
