Chapter 3712: 4.1312 The Show Begins
When the little poker face and her companions returned to Donglin Estate, Duan Yue was already sitting smilingly under the pear tree in the central hall, a pot of spirit tea brewed, waiting for them. Everyone was thirsty, and seeing the dozen small teacups on the table, they all reached out, poured themselves tea, and gulped it down.
It was already nightfall. The setting sun slowly shed its magnificent robes, donning the deep cloak of night. A gentle evening breeze swept through, and under the pear tree, numerous young men and women, after drinking tea, couldn't help but chatter.
"Why was Dean Yun so furious?" Duan Yue asked, curious, his gaze directly on his Qiao. By his intuition, the dean being driven to such a state was likely eighty percent Qiao Qiao's doing!
"Oh, Qiao Qiao is super amazing," Qi Xuanxuan said with an expression of admiration, chirping, "Qiao Qiao negotiated with Dean Yun to reduce half of our deducted vacation contribution points!" Qi Xuanxuan made a circle with her finger, indicating that everyone present would have half of their points reduced.
"The dean told you to get lost, right!" Duan Yue blinked and exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Little Fatty chuckled honestly. "So we got lost and came down!"
Everyone: ...
Lu Yu's mouth twitched. He stepped forward and kicked Little Fatty. "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. Let's go, prepare some ingredients. We're having grilled beef tonight!"
"By the way, Tianhua Academy from Mingzhou came, specifically challenging our Divine Continent Branch to a hundred matches, did you know about this?"
The little poker face nodded her head. "The dean promised us that if we win a match, we can earn two thousand contribution points."
"If we win a team battle, we can earn ten thousand."
Duan Yue looked blankly at Mo Lian, who was beside Qiao Qiao. Seeing the latter give him an "imagine it yourself" look, he couldn't help but quietly cough.
"This was also the result of Qiao Qiao's negotiation with Dean Yun?"
The little poker face, maintaining an expressionless face, turned and walked towards the wing room in her courtyard, muttering as she went, "So stingy. Such an old man, yet he's so petty with children!"
"What's wrong with reducing half the contribution points?"
"What's wrong with raising the price for winning?"
"He was the one who racked his brains, calling us back to save the day!"
"Shouldn't he be nicer to us?"
"And he says I'm terribly stingy, he's the one who's stingy!"
Everyone watched her departing back: ...
"Uh, cough, cough! Qiao Qiao is actually quite stingy..." Little Fatty said honestly.
He immediately received another kick on the backside from Jiang Shaoxin. This guy really wanted to die!
Little Fatty was dragged away, looking aggrieved.
That night, the group had a lively dinner in Donglin Estate, celebrating their first day back at the academy.
After returning to his room, Crown Prince Mo hugged his wife, reluctant to let go. "Qiao Qiao, tomorrow we'll go to the arena area and earn a million or so contribution points."
"Then we won't have to worry about not having enough contribution points when we take time off."
The little poker face was thinking the exact same thing. Contribution points, for her, weren't very useful; they were just for offsetting vacation days...
"Tomorrow, we can go together," Mo Lian said, rubbing his head against his wife's with great satisfaction. He had thought that once they returned to the academy, he would immediately have to go back to the artifact refining hall to refine artifacts, and he would be separated from Qiao Qiao during the day.
