Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 684 - 107: The Trivial Matters Inside the School

In those days, if a girl from an ordinary family received a kiss, it generally sealed her fate for life.

Of course, that’s the standard for respectable people.

Not that He Lan is not respectable. Sister Lanlan is a devoted girl, just like her mother, who once she sets her sights on someone, clings on and never lets go. The difference being her mother mixed in the Jianghu World for half her lifetime before finally taking a fancy to the eldest senior brother.

While she fell for Wang Yunxiao the moment she stepped outside.

The one who’s not respectable is Wang Yunxiao himself.

The process of cultivating the Twelve Laws is a process of reshaping cognition.

In the past, while cultivating the Dharma Sect of Righteous Path, he had one kind of thought in his mind.

Now, after advancing to become Iron Sparrowhawk, he has another kind of thought in his mind.

Why the hell am I stubbornly resisting the temptation of beauty?

Just for Eldest Miss Li, who up till now has no financial ties with me?

Do you think maintaining your chastity in front of the lady counts as bonus points?

How much is a man’s chastity worth in silver?

If you don’t actively pursue her and just rely on your imaginations, do you think she’ll notice your genuine, good, and beautiful human nature, and take the initiative to chase after you? Have you been overindulging in comics and novels, fantasizing yourself as the protagonist?

He Lan is blind.

Wang Yunxiao always felt that if He Lan was given a chance to broaden her horizons and see more of the myriad forms of people in this world, she might not really fancy him after giving it some thought.

Sadly, this child hasn’t had many good things since she was young.

But Eldest Miss Li is different; she’s seen and experienced much.

This is evident from the conversations Wang Yunxiao usually has with her. Eldest Miss Li’s scope of thought and perspective are quite expansive; it might be an exaggeration to say she’s extremely well-learned, but whether it’s astronomy, geography, or social humanities, she can deliver a coherent and knowledgeable discourse.

Sometimes, Wang Yunxiao even feels that if it weren’t for her maintaining the reserve of a prominent family’s lady, she could almost burst out with risque jokes.

She understands everything.

And the "cognition" formed through knowledge accumulation, in this world, can be considered a symbol of "power" in some sense.

Chen Yan was one of the top students in her year and quickly advanced in her cultivation after getting the Chess Herald Dharma Gate materials, now capable of handling things on her own.

Eldest Miss Li’s future achievements are surely limitless...

No, perhaps they are already considerable.

Just exploiting me, an honest person who knows nothing.

Returning to school on the weekend and standing by the school gate, Wang Yunxiao felt quite conflicted.

"Big Brother is back!"

Seeing Wang Yunxiao, all the brothers were incredibly happy.

When Big Brother was around, everyone felt at ease.

It was only when Big Brother was not around to take charge that they realized how important he was.

Brother Youtiao cannot handle things; the moment an issue arises, he panics first.

Guozi... let’s not talk about Guozi.

With Big Brother back, everyone finally had their backbone and they all ate two extra bowls of rice at lunch.

Everyone was happy, except Little Gourd, who kept staring at Wang Yunxiao.

They had corn gruel for lunch.

The Black Earth outside the border had been developed for several years. Back when the President launched his northern expedition, a comprehensive plan was made, but it hadn’t progressed due to various reasons until the new government was established and began large-scale cultivation.

This year finally brought a harvest, with shelled golden corn kernels tinged with a reddish hue, which were dried and called corn stubble, transported into the inner lands by the truckloads, making everyone salivate at the sight.

This stuff really fills you up; a bowl of corn porridge goes as far as three bowls of sorghum rice soup. Pair it with pickled radish and salty onion leaves, and that’s the ultimate human world delicacy, wouldn’t trade that even for braised pork.

The grains grown in the Black Earth outside the border are all sweet.

Not to mention people from the Southern parts can’t understand it, even the people of Old Tianmen haven’t had such luxury.

After filling their bellies, Wang Yunxiao asked his brothers if anything had happened at school during the days he was away.

The guys all looked towards Youtiao.

Youtiao’s expression was awkward.

"Brother Youtiao got into a fight!"

"With who? Qu Wenming?"

Apart from that pretty boy in the next class, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t imagine who else Youtiao could be fighting over what.

Matuan chuckled mischievously, "No, Brother Youtiao fought someone over Qu Wenming, beat them up."

Wang Yunxiao: "???"

What does that mean? I don’t understand!

Explain already!

Youtiao spread his hands and said: "You know how Qu Wenming is, always well-behaved and never bothers us in our class..."

Hmm...

Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that all he knew about Qu Wenming came from the rumors you spread.

Qu Wenming and Chen Yan in the next class actually have nothing much to do with each other and aren’t very close, but since they’re both class cadres, they often get called together by teachers. Plus, they’re both very fair-skinned, arguably the school beauty and school hunk.

Such young boys and girls, just standing together, make it easy for people to imagine up a 3000-word essay.

And what Youtiao used to love doing most was talking bad about Qu Wenming behind his back... and sometimes in front of Chen Yan.

The silly acts of a middle-school sophomore boy, you could say those who know, know.

Chen Yan’s way of repaying was trying hard to snitch on Wang Yunxiao’s gang. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Later on, as Youtiao matured following his brother, he stopped playing these childish games. Chen Yan was also pulled into this group and never pursued the matter further.

Of course, she never gave Youtiao a nice look.

However, during the time Wang Yunxiao was away, people in the school secretly spread rumors of an improper relationship between Chen Yan and Qu Wenming.

As president of the Student Council, Chen Yan was not only resolving student issues at Qinghe Middle School but was also responsible for guiding work at Nanke High School on the internal side, where she was actually quite popular among younger grade students.

Think about it, you dream of a gentle older sister guiding you at night.

In the morning when you meet the big sister on the road, she even chats and talks to you warmly.

Which normal boy could resist such temptation?

But as the saying goes, high popularity attracts troubles.

No matter what, once something or someone becomes popular, it’s hard to not attract flies.

If Youtiao doesn’t spread rumors, naturally, other people will do it.

Youtiao did have a bit of a crush on Chen Yan, but those people might not necessarily feel the same; they probably just couldn’t stand seeing Sister Chen Yan doing well.

Isn’t the school officially against early romance? How dare you flaunt your love publicly, deserve death!

Chen Yan herself was quite generous about it, didn’t make a big deal out of it.

But Qu Wenming couldn’t hold back.

In the past, Youtiao’s rumors were just him venting in front of his own brothers, occasionally mocking Chen Yan to her face, that issue didn’t spread.

But this rumor spread all over the school.

Qu Wenming went to the sophomore class to argue his case, not only did he not redeem his dignity, but also got beaten up.
