The class bell rang, and Shen Yueshu, wearing a bright-colored down jacket, hurriedly left. But she hadn't walked far when she was stopped by her roommates.
"I say, Yueyue, you're always gone on your recent holidays. Are you secretly dating a man behind your sisters' backs?" Several roommates surrounded her with smiles, their eyes fixed on her.
"If you have a boyfriend, bring him for us to see. Your sisters can help you check him out. Qianqian, you agree, right?"
"That's right, that's right. Seeing you sneaking around all day, not knowing what you're busy with, there must be a romance. Confess honestly, or face severe punishment."
"No, I really don't have one." Shen Yueshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was impressed by her roommates' ability to imagine things. She was just going to the martial arts practice field after class, and her little sisters could imagine a secret relationship.
"Then why do you disappear every Saturday and Sunday? Last time I wanted to ask you to go shopping together, but I couldn't find you anywhere." Wang Qian asked her with a puzzled look.
"Didn't I say, I had something to go out for." Shen Yueshu explained helplessly. "If I really had a romance, I would definitely tell you first! Don't worry, I'm so smart that I definitely won't be deceived."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"I'll trust you this once, you little girl. This Saturday and Sunday, a male dormitory wants to have a social with our dormitory, and one of the boys is the type that Huahua likes. So we agreed, and Yueyue, you have to come too."
"What? A social?" Shen Yueshu was stunned for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, her brows furrowed involuntarily. "But I really don't have time on Saturday and Sunday, I have things to do."
"Hmph, look. You still say you don't have a romance. You've already rejected your sisters' invitation for your boyfriend, and you're still afraid to show him to us."
"Ah, I'm not..."
Amidst a burst of playful laughter, Shen Yueshu finally surrendered. She told them about her recent busy schedule, but hid the news of her martial arts training.
"Really? You've been going to the Taoist temple outside Jiangcheng to study? Is that Taoist temple really as good and mysterious as you say?" The roommates looked surprised, all looking at Shen Yueshu in disbelief. They had thought of many things, but never expected that their good sister was actually a lay disciple of Taoism.
"Speaking of which, there's been a lot of talk about the revival of spiritual energy lately. Yueyue, you wouldn't be the kind of protagonist in novels, who had a special encounter during the revival of spiritual energy and then started cultivating, would you?" Wang Qian asked.
"It's not that mysterious, it's just self-cultivation." Shen Yueshu said somewhat modestly. She wouldn't dare tell her roommates that she was now a martial arts expert. She could do things like crossing a river on a reed or walking on walls.
But she knew that she couldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, after all, those who are different from ordinary people will always attract different eyes. She didn't want to be too conspicuous, just practice secretly.
"Is that Taoist temple really that good?" The three roommates all asked curiously, and Shen Yueshu naturally praised the Jingxu Temple fiercely, making several roommates a little tempted.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have heard of this Taoist temple. It is said to be a very effective place." Wang Qian added, as if she had remembered something. "Since Yueyue says it's so good, why don't we choose this Jingxu Temple for our social event this time? Anyway, the bullet train is only an hour or two away. It's not even as long as taking the subway across districts."
"Okay!"
"Ah?!"
Shen Yueshu looked blank, she didn't expect things to turn out like this in the end, which was really beyond her expectations.
However, since several roommates had decided on the place, Shen Yueshu didn't want to spoil the fun. She could only send a message to Jiang Wen to be prepared.
"Then come over, the temple also has places to stay and eat." Jiang Wen agreed to this matter very readily.
"Thank you." Shen Yueshu replied, touched in her heart.
"Let me see how your cultivation progress is when you come."
"..." Shen Yueshu withdrew the emotion in her heart after seeing the next sentence, and decisively turned off her phone and ignored Jiang Wen.
Her cultivation in the past month has only improved by a fraction, and she feels ashamed to say it. It's not that she's not diligent, it's just that the speed of gathering true energy is too slow. If there hadn't been real changes, Shen Yueshu would have thought she was just spinning in place.
What an unromantic person! Shen Yueshu thought to herself.
After eating with her roommates, she came to the school's martial arts practice field. That was the place for the martial arts club, and not many people came there on weekdays. So it naturally became Shen Yueshu's place to practice martial arts.
After changing into a convenient martial arts suit, Shen Yueshu took a deep breath. Even though it was already winter and the temperature was hovering around zero degrees, she didn't feel cold.
Under the thin clothes was a delicate and graceful body. After more than half a year of persistence, her body curves were more rounded than before. Not only was her skin firm and shiny, but even the acne-prone skin had disappeared.
Even if she stayed up all night studying, she could still be full of energy the next day, which was the biggest surprise that martial arts had brought her.
Feeling a thick spiral of true energy in the dantian in her abdomen, her limbs became light and powerful under the flow of true energy.
Shen Yueshu stepped forward in a bow stance, and a set of sharp boxing techniques flowed smoothly.
The entire martial arts practice field echoed with vibrations, and even the cold air carried a bit of heat.
After finishing the boxing and gathering her energy, it was already night outside.
After tidying up, Shen Yueshu closed the door of the martial arts practice field and returned to the dormitory.
Reading, chatting. The time to sleep was one or two in the morning.
Lying on the bed, Shen Yueshu closed her eyes to rest and circulated her energy. This was also her daily life, an ordinary day.
On Saturday morning, a group of young men and women entered Jiangcheng's train station, chatting and laughing, carrying luggage and boarding the train.
This was the most important sacrificial ceremony for the White Fox Clan, and also the most important festival since the opening of Jingxu Temple.
Jiang Wen decided not only to hold it for the White Fox Clan, but also to celebrate it with the pilgrims in the Taoist temple. Since it was a grand ceremony, it would be better to make it lively.
Bai Jing was extremely moved after learning about this, and felt that the cold winter was very cold and wanted to warm Jiang Wen's bed, but in the end, Ziyun, who was sitting in the room, glanced at her, and she withdrew from Jiang Wen's room dejectedly.
"This locust tree spirit, does she really think that I'm afraid of her!" Bai Jing said indignantly.
