Chapter 2027: Just Take It
By Lian Bingmeng’s side were several people. All of them were handsome men or beautiful women that were famous within the academy.
Despite Yue Shuangshuang’s wish to become stronger and defeat Lian Bingmeng, Ning Shu didn’t plan to have any sort of entanglement with Lian Bingmeng right now.
The academy would have a tournament a month later to test the students’ control over their summoned beasts.
This tournament was very important and had various rewards for winning.
Beating Lian Bingmeng then would be pretty cool.
“Yue Shuangshuang.” Lian Bingmeng looked at Ning Shu and called to her.
Ning Shu felt a little helpless and planned to just walk away like she didn’t hear it.
“Yue Shuangshuang, Yue Shuangshuang…”
Ning Shu turned around and walked towards Lian Bingmeng, greeting her and saying, “Long time no see.”
“I haven’t seen you this entire break! What have you been doing?” Lian Bingmeng took out two monster crystals and handed them to Ning Shu. “Here, here are some monster crystals that we got from training. Take it, your summoned beast is too weak. “
“It’s too expensive, I can’t.” Ning Shu waved her hand.
“Just take it if I’m giving it to you.” Lian Bingmeng pressed Ning Shu to accept the monster crystals.
Ning Shu smiled, accepted the monster crystals, and took out a wisdom fruit. “This is my gift in return.”
A wisdom fruit was much more precious than monster crystals.
Lian Bingmeng was stunned when she saw the bright red wisdom fruit in Ning Shu’s hand and disbelievingly asked, “Where did your wisdom fruit come from? I remember that you didn’t take the one I offered last time.”
Lian Bingmeng took the wisdom fruit and looked at it. It was indeed a real wisdom fruit. But how could this kind of thing be on Yue Shuangshuang?
Seeing Lian Bingmeng’s astonished and doubtful eyes, Ning Shu’s heart suddenly felt unprecedented joy.
This wasn’t Ning Shu’s own emotion, but rather the result of lingering resentment hidden in Yue Shuangshuang’s heart.
The things Ning Shu could pull out now were worth more than Lian Bingmeng’s. She felt like she could finally stand with a straight back.
Endlessly giving and endlessly asking for things were of the same nature. In one scenario, one could never repay the other, while in the other scenario, one could not support the other forever.
“I got it by accident. Since you gave me the monster crystals, I’ll give you the wisdom fruit,” Ning Shu said.
Lian Bingmeng frowned tightly and grabbed Ning Shu’s wrist. “Yue Shuangshuang, did something happen to you?”
Lian Bingmeng didn’t quite believe that Yue Shuangshuang could get this kind of thing. Yue Shuangshuang was the kind of person to save and bring home even the one silver coin provided by the welfare union.
Things like wisdom fruits cost tens of thousands of gold coins.
“Nothing you might be thinking of happened to me. I got the wisdom fruit through pure and clean means, not through the means that you’re thinking of.” Ning Shu said calmly.
“Alright, if she wants to trade her wisdom fruit, then trade it.” Mu Ziqi said lightly. “If she wants to slap her own face just to make it look bigger, then let her.”
“Usually these types of commoners use a weird form of self-esteem to cover up their inner sense of inferiority.” Mu Ziqi’s expression was indifferent.
Ning Shu glanced at Mu Ziqi and recalled Miss Mu who had died in the man-eating forest.
Judging from Mu Ziqi’s calm appearance, she probably wasn’t his sister. Large families often had numerous branches. Who knew what his relationship was with Miss Mu.
“Keep the wisdom fruit for yourself, I don’t want it. As for the monster crystals, they’re not that valuable. You should keep them.” Lian Bingmeng threw the wisdom fruit in her hand back to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu caught the wisdom fruit and threw the two monster crystals back to Lian Bingmeng. “I have no reason to want your things either.”
She couldn’t understand why this person never asked others if they wanted something before giving it to them.
