Chapter 34
Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion
The course of the morning went well.
After class, Tan Mo went to find Qin Muye to play, so Qin Muxiao had no chance to find fault with her.
As for the courses, Tan Mo thought they were way too easy.
Jixia Academyâs courses were different from other schools, and the introductory courses were more advanced.
The ancient poems, classical Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English textbooks were different from those of other schools; and the content was better.
Before the students of Jixia Academy started school, they had all kinds of courses arranged for them at home. They had finished all the courses of regular elementary school early and even touched upon some of the middle and high school materials as well.
Therefore, they were able to keep up with Jixia Academyâs curriculum.
If it were an ordinary child, they would be completely clueless.
This was also the reason Jixia Academy had strict requirements when accepting students.
Fortunately, Tan Mo wasnât an ordinary child. As a little snow fairy, she was reincarnated with a thousand yearsâ worth of memory.
She used to be rooted from the ground and couldnât go anywhere, so she was bored every day and could only listen to the master reading aloud.
All kinds of books from ancient times to present, from famous poems and articles to various formulas, the little snow fairy listened to the master read them aloud so many times that she could recite them all.
As for some formulas, though, she only memorized them and didnât understand their meanings.
But now, combining the lectures and the explanations in the books, Tan Mo could understand them.
When the morning class ended, Wei Zhiqian went to the next class. He waited at the door for a while until Qin Mufeng came out.
Seeing him, Qin Mufeng froze, then said, âIâm going to find Muye first. This is her first day at school. I wonât be at ease unless I see her. You can go to the cafeteria first. Iâll be there a little later.â
âOh, Iâm going to the elementary school building too. Letâs go together.â Wei Zhiqian had expected that Qin Mufeng would definitely go to see Qin Muye first, so he waited in his classroom to go with him.
âIâm going to see my sister. Why are you going?â Qin Mufeng could guess why Wei Zhiqian was going.
âIs it because you have juniors?â Wei Zhiqian snorted at Qin Mufeng as they walked towards the elementary school building.
âOh, Qin Muxiao?â Qin Mufeng said deliberately.
âWho is that?â Wei Zhiqian was confused. His playing dumb was very convincing.
Qin Mufeng complained, âWith your acting skills, why donât you consider going to a film academy in college, then show business?â
âHeh!â Wei Zhiqian ignored Qin Mufengâs teasing. âIâm going to see that little girl Tan Mo. Now, there is a lot of snobbery among children, especially since all of them have prominent backgrounds and have probably learned it from their parents. They will be even more condescending. â
He was going there to back her up.
âAre you really treating this little girl as your niece?â Qin Mufeng was surprised. They only met a few times.
âItâs rare to have a little girl who is pleasing to my eyes. Taking care of her is a matter of convenience.â Wei Zhiqian rubbed his palms. This wasnât troublesome for him.

Tan Mo was packing up her textbooks when Ming Yeqing, her seatmate, greeted her. âYou went out right after class. I havenât had time to say hello to you.â
Tan Mo tilted her head, blinked, and smiled as she said, âYou dare to talk to me?â
âWhy wonât I dare to?â Ming Yeqing didnât understand.
Tan Mo propped up her chin with one hand and said, âThe others in the class dare not talk to me.â
Ming Yeqing chuckled. âYou ran out after class, yet you still noticed that?â
âOf course, I did. Iâm smart.â Tan Mo raised her chin proudly.
Who praised themselves so much?
Itâs just that when Tan Mo boasted about herself, she didnât appear annoying at all. On the contrary, she appeared very cute.
âWeâre classmates, so why not talk?â Ming Yeqing was especially warm.
âArenât you afraid that they will isolate you when they see you talking to me?â Tan Mo narrowed her eyes.
Ming Yeqing caught it, but still said without hesitation, âIâm not afraid. Iâd rather be isolated instead of acting like them.â
âMing Yeqing, donât talk to her!â Angry and willful, Qin Muxiao walked over.
As soon as Wei Keli arrived at the door, he heard Qin Muxiaoâs shrill voice.
He came to see Tan Mo. He took Li Xiangrongâs advice to maintain a good relationship with Tan Mo.
However, he didnât agree with Li Xiangrongâs concerns.
Li Xiangrong was worried that Tan Mo would be distant towards him.
But Wei Keli thought otherwise.
Tan Mo treated him the same as before, and she hadnât changed.
Every time she saw him, she would greet him with a big smile on her face.
Since it was lunch break, Wei Keli didnât have to wait at the door.
He was about to enter when he heard Qin Muxiaoâs voice.
His right foot hesitantly retracted before it could step on the room.
He wanted to see the situation. If everyone was on Qin Muxiaoâs side, then he couldnât help Tan Mo this time.
Wei Keli saw Qin Muxiao staring at Ming Yeqing. âAssociating with this kind of person lowers our level! Ming Yeqing, you stay away from her. She isnât worthy.â
âWe are classmates. What do you mean by worthy? I think Tan Mo is quite good. I am not from a prominent family either, so she canât drag me down.â After Ming Yeqing finished speaking, he winked at Tan Mo.
Tan Mo felt that Ming Yeqing was much more reliable than Wei Keli.
âYou!â Qin Muxiao stomped her feet angrily. âMing Yeqing, there are so many people in our class. Why do you have to get involved with her? I thought you were good. I warned you!â
Ming Yeqing nodded, then said nonchalantly, âThank you for the warning. Weâre classmates. Involved isnât the right word.â
âSo youâre taking her side then?â Qin Muxiao asked sharply.
Ming Yeqing frowned and replied in disapproval, âQin Muxiao, itâs normal not to like someone. If you donât like Tan Mo, then donât interact with her. However, there is no need to force others to ignore her just to please you.â
âWhat if I insist that you ignore her?â Qin Muxiao asked haughtily. âI think youâre good and treat you as my friend. But between me and Tan Mo, you can only choose one to be your friend.â
Qin Muxiao felt that Ming Yeqing was good enough to be her friend.
Waiting for Ming Yeqingâs answer, Qin Muxiao raised her chin proudly.
Smart people knew who to choose.
Qin Muxiao smiled at Tan Mo mockingly.
Without batting an eyelash, Ming Yeqing said, âThen I will choose Tan Mo.â
Seeing that Qin Muxiao was livid, Ming Yeqing went on, âDonât get me wrong. You are fine, but I donât think I deserve to be your friend.â
Tan Mo didnât know what to say.
It was better not to speak at this moment.
Qin Muxiao pointed to Tan Mo and said loudly, âAnyone who wants to be friends with Tan Mo can stand over there! But Iâm putting the word out. Being friends with Tan Mo, and even if you just say a word to her, is going against me and looking down on me, Qin Muxiao.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat good is there looking up to you?â Tilting her head, Tan Mo asked.
Qin Muxiao got more furious upon hearing this. âWhat did you say?â
