Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation

Chapter 1858 - 1026: Who Is the Fire God? (2)

Jiang Ning saw her agree and said, "Help me prepare the best racket, then get me a bottle of ice-cold cola. After the game, I want some snacks, like nuts and beef jerky, and then slip me fifty yuan."

His shamelessness startled everyone, creating an uproar, Shi Qianjin shouted from within the crowd, "Who do you think you are? Why don’t you look in the mirror at yourself?"

In this lifetime, the outstanding Jiang Ning had long grown used to malicious insults from others. Truth be told, he didn’t take it to heart anymore; he merely marked Shi Qianjin secretly.

Yun Tingting knew he was joking and went along with it, "Alright, I promise you! Give me three minutes!"

Three minutes later, Jiang Ning met Yun Tingting in the first-floor hallway. She was holding a pure black racket, smiling charmingly, "Here, the brand is Yonex. Are you satisfied?"

She couldn’t afford Yonex; this racket belonged exclusively to Tang Fu from Class 2, rumored to be worth six figures.

Saying this, she handed over the racket, Jiang Ning casually reached out to take it.

In the next second, as the racket was transferred, when their hands met, Yun Tingting subtly hooked a finger, lightly tickling Jiang Ning’s palm.

Then Yun Tingting cheerfully walked down the stairs, like a cunning fox.

At that moment, Jiang Ning found it quite intriguing. He thought to himself, ’A little trick.’

...

Jiang Ning played a few rounds of badminton, under the watchful eyes of everyone, took the ice-cold cola and snacks, and left satisfied with fifty yuan.

The boys in class 3 were dumbfounded, "Seriously?"

Our class’s Yun Tingting, you even played her, and before leaving, you still took stuff—is this really okay?

Carrying the bag, Jiang Ning returned to the balcony of class 8, only to hear someone slandering him.

Shi Qianjin: "What barehanded fire extinguishing, I think you’re just bragging!"

Filled with resentment, he said dissatisfiedly, "And what title of Fire God, clearly you’re just talking nonsense. You’ve been in school for so many years, don’t you know anything?"

Cui Yu: "This matter, I can’t explain it to you."

Shi Qianjin, armed with staunch materialism, debated with the crowd, thoroughly enjoying it!

Cui Yu noticed Jiang Ning had returned, and he quickly went to invite Jiang Ning, "Brother Ning, someone in Class 9 is accusing you of faking."

Thus, Jiang Ning went along with it, under the crowd’s attention, walked up to Shi Qianjin.

Shi Qianjin stared directly at Jiang Ning, not backing down. At this moment, behind him in the void, it felt as if heroic spirits stood—Newton, Einstein, Galileo...

Demons and evil spirits, all disappeared! Shi Qianjin straightened his back.

Jiang Ning: "I hear you have doubts about me?"

Shi Qianjin was fearless, "That’s right, your so-called Fire God is a sham, nothing more than some chemical trick!"

The small conflict here attracted Class 9’s Tan Meiling, literature committee member Sang Tian.

Shi Qianjin noticed their gaze, angrily thought: ’Don’t you find Jiang Ning cool? Today I’ll completely reveal his disguised face!’

"Yes, you might deceive others but not me!" Shi Qianjin swore, "Whatever tricks you’ve got, bring them on!"

Jiang Ning curiously observed Shi Qianjin, then looked at the girl behind him who caught his attention, well then!

"Then let me show you something."

Jiang Ning raised his right hand, slowly approached his left shoulder, then swung backhanded.

Correspondingly, the dim environment suddenly brightened with flames.

Shi Qianjin only felt a dazzling blaze coming at him, he told himself it was fake, fake!

Yet that scorching temperature couldn’t deceive anyone.

Shi Qianjin gritted his teeth, the young willpower made him stand and endure.

"Ah! You’re on fire!" Tan Meiling screamed.

Shi Qianjin’s willpower light extinguished, completely panicked, looking down to find his clothes really aflame, the fire danced wickedly, he even smelled burning.

He hurriedly slapped his clothes wildly, extinguishing the flames.

Shi Qianjin was burnt numb, terrified, "Help me!"

Zhao Qianqian was sipping tea. Seeing this, she spilled her tea.

Shi Qianjin jumped from the scalding.

The surrounding classmates were dumbfounded, my goodness, setting people on fire at school!

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s voice sounded, "Believe I’m the Fire God now?"

Shi Qianjin, cooked by Fire Skill, was ablaze, no longer daring not to believe, he’d rather kneel!

"Brother Ning, I believe, I believe!" Shi Qianjin shouted.

Jiang Ning heard this, the corner of his mouth turned up, he lightly tapped his finger, Shi Qianjin’s whole body’s flames instantly collected and extinguished.

As if countless flames, all obeyed his command.

Shi Qianjin remained dazed.

Guo Kunnan said to Dan Kaiquan, "I’m really impressed, how is he such a clown?"

Previously he jumped from a window seen by Shi Qianjin, who mocked him mercilessly, and to demonstrate, even rammed into the window himself, ending up smashing the glass!

Now pulling this stunt!

After extinguishing the fire, Shi Qianjin angrily stared at Jiang Ning, "You dare set me on fire!"

Bai Yuxia appeared silently, having already witnessed the entire farce, her gaze was like lake water, calmly spoke, "Yes, you voluntarily let the second in grade set you on fire."

Chen Siyu pointed out, "Also the top in sports!"

Jiang Ningle chuckled, "Baseless claims, clearly third."

Shi Qianjin considered Jiang Ning’s background, he could only swallow his pride; lacking reason and inferior in strength.

Back in the classroom, he removed his jacket, finding his arm blistered severely, painfully.

Shi Qianjin wanted to visit the infirmary, but class was soon starting, he could only first go to the office and ask for leave from his homeroom teacher Gao Heshuai.

Office.

An Chan’s father got himself arrested, rumor has it, she didn’t even park her newly bought BMW 3 Series at school.

Qian Baoqiang was persuading his friend, "Great Handsome, plenty of fish in the sea, An Chan’s family is declining now!"

Gao Heshuai savored his tea, "No worries, I value her as a person, not her family."

Director Yan, same year, was also in this office drinking tea.

Sitting in his chair, as a seasoned veteran, he clearly knew, he wasn’t that strict privately, instead he spoke with sincerity, "Remember, how much money the woman has, how much she earns, doesn’t matter to you, will she spend on you?"

Gao Heshuai took the advice, setting an example, "The more she is in trouble, the more I should excel, I must manage the class well and deliver a satisfactory report to the principal!"

Qian Baoqiang was touched by Gao Heshuai’s will, "With that attitude, you’re surely worthy of An Chan!"

Guo Ran was eating candied fruits, feeling speechless, ’Did you ask An Chan how she feels?’

Director Yan speaks earnestly, "Not yet possible, Xiao Gao you’ve been here a year, with previous savings, should be enough for the down payment right?"

The public housing fund in Fourth Middle School is high, Yuzhou’s house prices aren’t expensive, after the down payment, housing fund directly covers mortgages.

Gao Heshuai feeling guilty, "I bought a car first, still short on down payment money."

Director Yan advised sincerely, "Should buy a house first."

Gao Heshuai, "Mainly afraid of house prices dropping."

Director Yan countered, "Car price won’t drop?"

Seeing Guo Ran remaining independently beautiful, Qian Baoqiang seized the chance to ask, "Mr. Guo, have you bought a house or car?"

Guo Ran: "Nope, cars are consumables, houses just temporary shelters, only a grave is the final haven, I plan to buy a burial plot first."

Director Yan and others: "..."

At this time, Shi Qianjin entered the office.

Gao Heshuai saw Shi Qianjin, whose grades were decent and usually studious. His stern face softened.

"Qianjin, here for study questions again?"

"Sigh, seeing you, then looking at the students in the class, some fooling around carelessly, others just whiling away school days, constantly causing trouble, asking for leaves every few days!"

After speaking, Gao Heshuai looked at Shi Qianjin, solemnly said, "From now on, I want you as the study commissar, to set an exemplar for Class 9. Are you willing?"

Shi Qianjin was silent; due to the burning pain, he’s somewhat distressed, and felt somewhat ashamed because of Gao Heshuai’s words.

Gao Heshuai suddenly curious: "Right, you didn’t bring the test paper, is there something you need in the office?"

Shi Qianjin was in too much pain, he showed his burning wound, face contorted in agony as he reported, "Mr. Gao, Jiang Ning from Class 8 set me on fire!"

Gao Heshuai’s expression turned bewildered.

He hadn’t spoken yet, the neighboring Mr. Yan suddenly stood up, gravely asked, "What bad thing did you do for Jiang Ning to set you on fire?"

Shi Qianjin: "Huh?"
