The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 172: Back to School

Everyone gained something from the tomb. Although she disappeared without a trace, Ai Lin was the one who gained the most.

How despicable! Ai Lin fled as soon as she snatched the inheritance for herself! We nearly got killed because of her! If it werent for Senior Tian Ya, who knows what would have happened to us. Rage filled Yifu every time she thought about Ai Lin.

We cant blame Ai Lin. How could she know things would turn out this way? Zi Cheng smiled soothingly. Although she had a gut feeling the inheritance belonged to her, she didnt mind too much. She had her own system so things would work out for her regardless.

But she knew the inheritance was yours! No one would have known about if it werent for your map! We wouldnt have been able to enter the tomb before everyone else if it werent for you! That inheritance belonged to you! Ai Lin stole it from you! That ungrateful pig! A pity no one seemed to care about Yifus passionate outburst other than Zi Cheng.

The group was busy eating roasted mutton made from the lambs Elena killed while in the tomb. Zi Cheng especially seasoned it with her own spices before roasting it, so it was to die for. Feng Wu didnt pay any attention to Yifus rant, she was happily eating her roasted leg with razor focus. Ming Xi and the others quietly ate their food without comment.

Not everyone knew about Yifus plotting in the tomb against Feng Wu, but Ming Xi and his guys knew, because of this they were disgusted with her. She had no moral high ground to stand on. They only bothered with her at all out of consideration for Zi Cheng, who had pled on her behalf.

Zi Cheng said a bit more to Yifu about it before changing the topic. It was obvious Elena didnt like Yifu. The other seniors looked at Yifu differently too. They were indifferent, colder towards her. They hadnt been like this before.

Zi Cheng knew something had to have happened on the first floor. But what could have happened to make them change their attitude towards Yifu so much?

Though everyone had a lot on their minds, the night passed by peacefully.

Feng Wus space ring was crammed full of gifts from animals she met in the tomb. She gave Drew the detox fruit that he needed to heal his father.

He thanked her again and again with tears in his eyes. It was the kind of fruit guaranteed to fetch a high price at auction. He promised to see her at Zhongyong if he ever got the opportunity. He reluctantly waved goodbye to go save his father.

The kids made it back to Zhongyong several days later. The reward from Lady Minerva[notes], for Pei Qings capture had reached 50,000 gold, but he was able to evade the bounty hunters with help from Ming Xi and friends. He successfully returned to Zhongyong safely with everyone else.

The reward had made Jier and the others drool but they knew it would never happen. If Pei Qing hadnt been so troublesome, they would have handed him over and gotten a beautiful reward. A pity the guy was absolutely unaccommodating.

Once they reached Zhongyong, everyone went their separate ways. Ming Xi and the other upperclassmen went to who knows where. Feng Wu and Jier visited Tian Yues family[notes] and enjoyed a splendid meal before returning to school.

Pei Qing and the siblings used their share of the reward to buy a small house. After years of living in hotels, they finally had a place to call home!

Jier and Feng Wu checked their rankings after returning to school. The profits from their recent adventure pushed them into the top ten. The rankings were:

#1: Zi Cheng, #2: Ai Lin, Yifu was ahead of Jier and Feng Wu, and Jasmine, while not top 10 was top 50.

Barring any surprise upsets, the current rankings wouldnt change much, if at all.

Feng Wus life revolved around school and tasks. Before long the semester was almost over. Everyone was busy attending classes and making money in their spare time so there was no time for distractions.

Ink pulled a seat up next to Feng Wu, itching to share the latest news with her. Xiao Wu, I heard the rankings were released. You and Jier tied for fifth place. Rumor is youll get some kind of reward. It should be soon. Its totally hush hush though. The upperclassman wont say what it is, but it must be good.

Feng Wu nodded. OK, Ill show it to you when I get it, was her straight-forward reply.

You and Jier are amazing. There are three sword users in the freshman class who ranked in the top. Theres you from our class, another two in the third and fourth; theyre not from our class. Since you and Jier tied for fifth, therere six people in the top five. Both our division and Magic division are tied with three people each in the top, so theres no need to bust our butts anymore.[notes] The people in Magic division are being real peacocks about their rankings though. We have the same number of people, but their rank status is higher. Other divisions can make a lot of money based on their skills, but they only learn the really profitable stuff in the upper classes. This stuff theyre learning now are basic and dont earn them much so their rankings aren't great, but they still make the top fifty though.
