One of the Unsolved Mysteries of the Small Village

The great demons were feeling extremely happy when they heard the teacher announce that there would be rewards, which made them even more excited.

Even the great demons sitting in the back rows, such as the Northeast Tiger, White Fang Elephant, and Big Water Buffalo, quickly straightened up, awaiting the reward they thought was coming their way.

They all believed that they had made the greatest contributions and were most likely to receive the teacher's praise.

Meanwhile, the great demons sitting in the front rows all brightened their eyes as they looked at the teacher, curious as to who the three chosen ones would be.

Soon, they all knew the answer.

An Chen, hearing the students quickly quiet down without making even a peep, nodded in satisfaction and announced the first student to receive a reward.

"The first student, Ye Xiaoqing."

An Chen wasn't surprised at all that Xiaoqing had passed the system's full-level validation.

After all, in the past two years, she had been clever, eager to learn, and quick to apply what she learned in the classroom.

So, her perfect scores in the courses were something expected.

Additionally, her life skill was doing laundry, and she only did it for An Chen.

An Chen couldn't help but recall when Xiaoqing first offered to do his laundry. He found it inappropriate and declined right away.

But later, after Xiaoqing persistently insisted on doing it, An Chen couldn't refuse anymore, so he let her.

As a result, for the past two years, all of An Chen's clothes were personally washed and dried by Xiaoqing, leaving them with a unique fragrance.

Because of this, Xiaoqing passed the life skill's full-level validation.

"Wow~"

Upon hearing that the first winner was the second senior sister, the other great demons immediately turned to look at Xiaoqing, their eyes filled with envy and surprise.

Clearly, they were all taken aback, not expecting the second senior sister to be one of the chosen.

Especially Xiao Bai, who watched her sister stand up, gritting her teeth in frustration, and couldn't help but grumble under her breath.

"Hmph~ Stupid sister, if even you can get a reward, then I can too! Maybe the next demon will be me..."

When **Ye Xiaoqing** heard her name called by the teacher, she was visibly stunned for a moment. Then, an indescribable joy and excitement surged through her heart.

She hadn't expected to be the first student to receive a reward!

This honor was too precious!

Ye Xiaoqing quickly stood up from her seat, a slight smile appearing on her lips. She said, "Thank you, teacher," as she walked up to the podium and stood aside, waiting for the teacher to announce the second name.

An Chen collected his thoughts and continued to announce the second student to receive a reward.

"The second student, Guai Guai."

This time, the great demons were all dumbfounded.

Each one of them fixed their gaze on the little white rabbit in the first row, showing surprise, astonishment, and disbelief.

Xiao Bai, in particular, stared at the rabbit, mouth wide open, unable to understand why the second reward didn't go to her.

In fact, not only were the others shocked, but even the rabbit itself was confused.

Its long ears perked up, and its big round eyes widened. It instinctively said, "Eh? I get a reward too?"

Soon, it realized it hadn't misheard. It let out a cheer and hugged the fox next to it.

Then, it placed one paw on the desk, pushed off with its legs, and leaped out of its seat.

While in mid-air, it quickly pulled out a pair of sunglasses from behind its ears and put them on.

When it landed and steadied itself, it immediately swayed its butt twice toward its companions, then strutted up to the podium with a swagger.

"Hmph! I'm so mad at that rabbit! I want to kick it right in the butt!" grumbled the Northeast Tiger angrily.

The other great demons nodded in agreement, all sharing the same sentiment.

Moreover, as they watched the little rabbit standing on the podium, hands behind its back, wearing sunglasses and tapping its feet on the ground, they grew even more annoyed and wanted to give it a beating!

They had never seen such an arrogant rabbit!

Of course, An Chen couldn't see the series of infuriating and provocative actions that Guai Guai was performing.

He was, however, a bit surprised that Guai Guai had passed the system's full-level validation.

But after reading the explanation given by the system, it made sense.

Guai Guai had full marks in its courses and had maxed out its life skill, pulling carrots.

In An Chen's impression, Guai Guai did indeed love planting carrots, pulling carrots, and especially eating carrots. It would eat one almost every meal before it was satisfied.

Sometimes, An Chen would wonder if Guai Guai's zodiac sign was a rabbit.

One carrot every meal—it ate more than a rabbit!

An Chen shook his head with a smile and continued to announce the last student to receive a reward, and that was...

"The last student, Chi Zi."

Xiao Bai let out an "ah" sound, her expectations completely dashed, and she pouted, feeling a bit upset.

The gap between her and her sister seemed to be getting wider. What should she do now?

The other great demons turned to look at Chi Zi, each showing a complicated expression, wanting to say something but ultimately sighing.

None of them could have predicted that this martial arts fanatic would take the last spot.

After all, Chi Zi usually went unnoticed and even took a whole day just to say a sentence.

This led to very little interaction and playtime with the other companions.

Additionally, this Chi Zi was obsessed with martial arts, particularly dedicated to practicing boxing and striking posts.

The martial arts Chi Zi excelled in were Wing Chun and Tai Chi.

The Northeast Tiger, Black Bear, and other great demons looked at Chi Zi, their confusion growing stronger.

They really couldn't understand.

Why was this martial arts fanatic able to get the teacher's reward?

Where exactly did they lose?

When An Chen finished announcing Chi Zi's name, he also saw the explanation given by the system.

Even though Chi Zi stammered when speaking, taking half a day to finish a sentence...

Its learning and comprehension abilities were still quite strong.

So, in terms of coursework, Chi Zi passed with full marks.

Additionally, its life skill, post striking, had also reached the highest level.

The fences around the courtyard and playground were all Chi Zi's handiwork.

Looking at the words "post striking" also reminded An Chen of a memorable incident.

It happened six months after he had transmigrated into this world.

Chi Zi took the initiative to surround the playground with a two-meter-high bamboo fence.

But by the next morning, the bamboo fence had mysteriously disappeared.

Chi Zi did it two more times after that.

Each time, the bamboo fence vanished by the following day.

At the time, An Chen found the situation odd when other students reported it to him and suspected that some wild animals might have taken the bamboo fence during the night.

So, An Chen asked Chi Zi to try replacing the bamboo fence with wood or stone.

It actually worked.

And ever since then, the strange phenomenon of the disappearing fence never happened again.

The mystery of the bamboo fences' disappearance remains an unsolved puzzle in An Chen's mind.

Thinking about these past events, An Chen couldn't help but smile. He returned to the present and had Xiaoqing, Guai Guai, and Chi Zi line up in a row to unlock their bloodline talents.

He was also very curious to see what kind of bloodline talents these three students would awaken.
