- It Can’t Be That She’s Hiding A Man?

Towards this grumpy old man surnamed Xu, Jing Yunzhao kept having a loving feeling. She kept feeling that even though this old man's words were cold, he wasn't bad. He was unlike the people she met in her past life, smiles on the outside but ruthless on the inside.

"Thank you, Old Man Xu. I will definitely come to learn on time," Jing Yunzhao said, exposing a somewhat kind smile.

"If that's so, you can't leave unless you memorize this book today!" Old Man Xu threw a book straight towards her and turned around to leave. He locked Jing Yunzhao in that shed.

(T/N: The backyard is a shed.)

The light in the shed was sufficient. She opened the book. It was about growing medicinal herbs and harvesting.

The book wasn't thick, but if a normal person wanted to memorize it word for word, they would need 1-2 days.

However, ever since Jing Yunzhao had absorbed the jade pieces, her memory had also become a lot better. She looked at the book and looked at that tightly closed door. With no other choice, she sat down. Since no one was around, she took the chance to enter her space and started memorizing.

Inside the space, time passes slower.

When she finally finished memorizing, only three hours had passed outside.

She knocked on the door and soon the middle-aged man came. He opened the door, took her book back and said, "If you want to get out, recite it."

Towards this shifu and disciple pair, Jing Yunzhao felt a bit speechless.

However, since they meant good, Jing Yunzhao started reciting.

The book had over 200 pages. Reciting it would take a while. The disciple listened attentively, not missing a single word. There were sometimes parts he couldn't hear clearly which he then made Jing Yunzhao repeat it until she said it right.

Jing Yunzhao wasn't a half-hearted person. Since she had promised to learn, she would definitely use all power within her to do it.

When she finished, it was late.

"Every word was correct. You can go now. Remember to come here on time. This is today's medicine money." That disciple's temper was more straightforward than the shifu's. After he finished talking, he also turned around to leave.

In Jing Yunzhao's hands, there was surprisingly a few thousand yuan more than she should've got.

Adding it with yesterday's money, she already had over ten thousand. This money-making speed, the her in her past life couldn't even think of it.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were scattered. The air was much better than the air inside the shed. She breathed in and began to walk home. But just when she was exiting that little alleyway, some people appeared under the street light.

Jing Yunzhao didn't want to waste a single second. She was still digesting the jade piece's information when she was stopped by those people.

She raised her head and met the fierce eyes of Lu Jia.

After Lu Jia was beaten to a pulp previously, she had been recovering at home. Looking at her, her face was still a bit swollen. She didn't look natural no matter what.

"I was thinking who it was! Isn't this our school's famous Jing Yunzhao! I saw you coming out of this alleyway. What? Being in such a secluded area at this time of the night, you're not hiding a man, are you?!" Lu Jia's face was full of mockery. Her eyes were burning with flames.

Remembering that day when Jing Yunzhao hit her in front of everyone, she felt as if her pride had been all thrown away!

The teachers were on Jing Yunzhao's side at that time so Lu Jia couldn't do much to her. She even got scolded by her parents. But now, they were outside. No cameras were around. Lu Jia doesn't believe that Jing Yunzhao will still be able to get the upper hand this time.
