Chapter 2006: A Good Saddle Suited a Good Horse
Yue Shuangshuang was still too naive. She only wanted to kill Lian Bingmeng and wasn’t able to clearly think about the consequences. What would happen to her family? Even if Lian Bingmeng died, Yue Shuangshuang’s family would become criminals. And if Lian Bingmeng lived, even if she didn’t care and wouldn’t take revenge, would Lian Bingmeng’s “comrades” really let the Yue family go?
They wouldn’t. Offending a noblewoman was a severe crime.
Ning Shu reckoned that this family would have faced death in the end as punishment. Otherwise, they would have at least been enslaved.
Ning Shu had yet to show any hostility towards Lian Bingmeng. She also hadn’t said anything about wanting to stop being friends.
What good would come out trying to break off their friendship after all? People would just perceive her as someone who couldn’t recognize others’ good intentions.
Ning Shu seriously couldn’t stand this situation in which everything she did was seen as wrong.
The ultimate reason behind this was that Yue Shuangshuang was too weak. It’d be fine if she was just weak, but she had even become friends with an unsurpassable genius. A good saddle suited a good horse and a treasured sword suited a hero; Yue Shuanshuang’s friendship with Lian Bingmeng was incongruent and unsuitable.
Comparing Lian Bingmeng and Yue Shuangshuan’s natural talents was like comparing the clouds to the mud.
People were divided into groups. Bad students thought that good students had studied to the point where they had become stupid. In short, they deemed them nerds. Conversely, good students thought that bad students were all retarded and that their brains were made out of tofu dregs.
Neither of the two wanted to be friends, but Lian Bingmeng just had to make a display of her affection and loyalty.
“Big Sister, it feels like there is a wind blowing inside my body. It feels chilly.” Little Bean’s eyes widened and he looked towards Ning Shu with an expression of delighted surprise.
“Little Bean is awesome! Keep working hard,” Ning Shu said with a smile. She then sat down cross-legged beside Little Bean and began to practice.
Ever since Ning Shu rejected Lian Bingmeng’s wisdom fruit, Lian Bingmeng had become a little angry. She ignored Ning Shu and had instead been busy forming a mercenary team with the strongest people in the school.
The team was using the free time from summer break to practice.
This team would, later on, become the most powerful mercenary team on the entire continent.
There were both men and women in the team, but most of the members were men.
The women in the team were either Lian Bingmeng’s fangirls or would later develop into vicious supporting female leads. Anyone who had the ability to enter the mercenary team had good natural talent, family background, and looks.
Within the team, there were bound to be many feelings of love and hate, of compassion and animosity.
Lian Bingmeng had good natural talent. She would definitely attract the gazes of many men.
While the mercenary team Lian Bingmeng organized was practicing, Ning Shu planned to use the break to get some resources. Currently, after a period of training, her Unsurpassable Martial Arts had improved by a lot.
Now, even if she went out alone, as long as she didn’t encounter any powerful summoner or monster, she should be able to guarantee her own safety.
Ning Shu wanted to find medicinal ingredients that could be made into wisdom pills. However, she didn’t know if there existed any in this world.
Ning Shu learned some alchemy during her time wandering the world with Qing Yue,
Using the silver coin she had been given from the summoner’s union, she bought some rations and weapons. She got herself a dagger just in case.
Ning Shu’s summoner rank was the lowest level. She only earned one silver coin per month. If she rose one level and became an apprentice summoner, she would be able to earn two gold coins per month.
Summoners had their own sources of power. This source was their summoned beast. Once the summoned beast itself became powerful, its power would be fed back to its master. The summoners themselves also cultivated. There were tools to measure their ranks.
There was a whirlpool shape in Ning Shu’s dantian. There was a bit of strength in this whirlpool but the strength was pitifully small.
If the summoned beast did not grow, the power of the summoner would also be limited.
There were both pros and cons to this system.
Ning Shu went home and told her parents that she was going to go train for a while. She also gave Mother Yue her change from when she went shopping.
