Chapter 413: Isn’t Heidi just a kiss?

It is lunch time now, and Concubine Bran is resting in her mentor's apartment.

"Teacher Branche!" Heidi knocked on the door.

"The door is not locked, come in." Concubine Bran's voice came from inside the door.

In the house, Bran built a relatively simple little house for the little rabbits from yesterday and caressed these well-behaved little creatures.

Isn't the medicine effective? She seems to be fine. Zhang Chenran is a little confused.

Bran smiled at Heidi, and said to Zhang Chenran behind her, "I was just about to go find you!"

"Looking for us? Um, Teacher Bulanqie, we already know we were wrong, and we came here specially to apologize." Zhang Chenran put on a good show.

Contrary to what he expected, Concubine Bran shook her head, motioned for him and Heidi to sit down, and poured them a glass of water.

"We investigated what happened yesterday this morning. The meat you ate was indeed not from creatures native to the Alps. You did not lie. We wronged you. We should be the ones to apologize," said Concubine Bran.

Hearing this, Heidi and Zhang Chenran were stunned.

The former was surprised that even though the criminal was caught red-handed, the situation took a turn for the better. According to what Branqi said, it was the Alpine Academy that wronged Zhang Chenran and the others.

Zhang Chenran had a changed opinion of this mentor, Mr. Bran.

It seems that Concubine Bran is indeed not an unreasonable person as Heidi said. This morning she took the food they didn't finish last night for investigation.

"It can't be said that we were wronged. After all, we did want to kill those little rabbits." Zhang Chenran said.

Bran concubine just smiled, without any intention of blaming:

"Our Alpine Academy was originally an orphanage. There was an old forbidden spell wizard who lived in seclusion here. She hoped that the children in the orphanage could protect themselves, so she began to teach magic. However, she left this world without leaving much inheritance. The ancestors of the Alps have not yet learned how to protect themselves and how to live in nature and society.

"Unfortunately, a blizzard broke out again the year the old forbidden spell wizard left. Because the blizzard was trapped on the mountain, the orphan ancestors could only freeze to death or starve to death. Just when everyone was about to fall asleep in the snow, many small creatures got in. The ancestors killed them cruelly, ate their flesh and blood, and used their skins to keep warm, and finally survived the winter.

"Our ancestors believed that those little creatures were the kindness of the Alps to them. The Alps did not want our young ancestors to die in the snow. Since then, the Alpine Academy has had a rule that no harm should be done to little creatures. We treat them as kindly as the Alpine gods treated our ancestors, and we also choose to be vegetarians like the little creatures."

Zhang Chenran felt quite touched. No wonder Concubine Bran treated them so harshly last night.

"Sorry, we don't know this story." Zhang Chenran said.

"Don't blame you, this is our problem. Our school has chosen a vegetarian diet, but we can't make you like us and force you to integrate into our lives. We have asked the students to go to the city to buy some meat and poultry, but you will have to do it yourselves when the time comes. We are not very good at this." Bran concubine said with a smile.

"Thank you so much." Zhang Chenran said.

"It doesn't matter. I often wonder whether it is right for the Alpine Academy to be so closed and suppress human nature." Concubine Bran sighed softly.

"As long as you do what you like, it's right, no matter whether it is right in the eyes of others. I am not referring to the Alpine Academy, but everyone in the academy." Zhang Chenran's tone was meaningful.

"Everyone" Bran thought for a moment.

Heidi turned her eyes to him. She didn't expect this guy to say such thought-provoking words. Now he wasn't so annoying.

She pushed Zhang Chenran's arm and gestured towards the door, but the latter didn't seem to respond to her.

"Teacher Branci, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first," Heidi said.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Bran stood up.

"Hurry up and get up. What are you thinking about?" Heidi saw that Zhang Chenran had not yet come to his senses, so she quickly pulled him up.

"Oh, by the way, Teacher Branqi, you should be fine, right?" Zhang Chenran asked.

Seeing Zhang Chenran staring at her face, Branqie touched it in confusion:

"What's wrong? Is there something strange about me?"

"No, I took up too much of your time last night, and you seemed a little tired during lunch." Zhang Chenran made up an excuse.

"Thank you for your concern. I am used to this kind of work."

"That's good"

...…

"I can't believe your performance just now really impressed me." Heidi said.

"There are so many things I can do to impress you." Zhang Chenran said unhappily.

This tone is still comfortable. Heidi snorted coldly:

"I just helped you, and you are talking to me in this tone?"

"Then I owe you something. I helped you so much yesterday. A Xinghai Tianmai that can help you advance to the super level is worth billions. We can only say that our favors offset each other. If it weren't for my magnanimity, you would not be able to repay me!" Zhang Chenran said.

"Even without you, I can break through to the super level by myself!" Heidi found what he said quite reasonable and began to get anxious.

"How long will it take you to break through to the super level? I am helping you break through to the super level in advance to save your precious time. We have an old saying in Jiuzhou: Time is money, and money can't buy time. I have saved you so much time for cultivation, and its value is no less than that of Xinghai Tianmai. Yet you are so rude to me and keep calling me shameless. You have taken such a big advantage of me, but who is shameless?" Zhang Chenran said with disdain, looking down on her.

"You! You! Don't you just feel that you've been at a disadvantage? I never like to owe anyone anything. Just tell me what you want. I can give you something of the same value." Heidi was completely furious.

"I'm not short of money, and I'm not interested in what you can give me. There are not many treasures in the world that are worth my attention." Zhang Chen looked her up and down:

"How about this, let me kiss you, and I won't mention this matter again."

"Impossible!" Heidi refused without even thinking.

"Just now you acted like you could give me anything, but you refused as soon as I asked you for it. You're really good at pretending." Zhang Chenran said with disdain.

"I am not."

Heidi was so anxious that she was incoherent. How could a girl like her who lived in the mountains for many years withstand Zhang Chenran's verbal attack?

Looking at his back, Heidi stamped her feet anxiously and said,

"Isn't it just a kiss? I'll give you a kiss!"
