Chapter 40 - Peak of the Second Layer of the Qi Refinement Realm
Chapter 40 of "City's Best Divine Doctor" starts with: When Ye Xue found out that Ye Qiu hadnât had dinner yet, she specially cooked... Continue exploring!
When Ye Xue found out that Ye Qiu hadnât had dinner yet, she specially cooked a few family dishes for him at the porridge shop.
Generally, those who run small restaurants eat directly at their own shop instead of going home to cook again.
Also, eating at their own place lets other customers see that the food there is good, hygienic, and safe.
After Ye Qiu finished eating, he wanted to help out, but Ye Xue told him to go back and review his studies instead of helping.
Actually, now that He Xiaoqing stopped helping, Ye Xueâs workload had definitely increased a lot.
But since the matter with Butcher Heâs family was already clarified, He Xiaoqing naturally wouldnât come over anymore.
âYe Qiu, I heard that Xiaoqing is dating the fishmongerâs son.
How do you feel about that?â Chen Fang asked.
The textile factory community was very small.
Almost anything that happened in any household quickly spread to others.
So now that Li Lanfang introduced He Xiaoqing to the fishmongerâs son, everyone in the textile factory knew.
âMom, isnât that a good match?
One sells pork, the other sells fish, perfectly matched.â
Ye Qiu said.
He didnât mean to mock He Xiaoqing.
From start to finish, you couldnât blame He Xiaoqing; she was just someone without her own opinions.
Chen Fang heard this and didnât know what to say.
She had expected some other reaction from Ye Qiu, but there was none, indicating that there were really no feelings between the two.
Trying to force them together was useless.
Ye Qiu helped until after ten oâclock in the evening, and then Ye Xue and Chen Fang both told him to go rest.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to head back to the textile factory community.
When he got there, he saw some other residents who used to be colleagues of Ye Weidong.
When they saw Ye Qiu, they asked, âYe Qiu, I heard you took the joint exams.
How did it go today?â
The residents of the textile factory were all around the same age, and their children were about the same age too.
Some hadnât gone to high school, some werenât good students, and some were still in high school.
This time, with so many key high schools in Jinling conducting a joint exam before the college entrance exam, the parents of other senior high school students were naturally very anxious.
There were still other young people in the textile factory area studying in their senior year, but their grades were definitely much better than Ye Qiuâs used to be.
Itâs said that one of them even had the possibility of getting into a regular university.
Even if they didnât get into a regular university, a third-tier college was definitely no problem.
âUncle Zhou, I think it was okay.â
Ye Qiu said.
Zhou Weiguo said, âI heard from my son that this time the joint exam questions were harder than last yearâs.
Getting a total score of five hundred would already be impressive.â
Although only the Chinese and math exams were taken today, the students were already quite aware of the difficulty level of this joint exam.
Based on the estimated scores in these two subjects, and adding in tomorrowâs comprehensive arts and English, the students could roughly predict their total scores.
âUncle Zhou, your son is much better than me.â
Ye Qiu said.
He couldnât quite figure out what Zhou Weiguo meant by asking him, given that everyone knew Ye Qiuâs original level in the textile factory area.
Zhou Weiguo smiled, seemingly satisfied.
After all, compared to Ye Qiu, his own son was indeed much more outstanding.
At least his son had the potential to get into a regular university, while this Ye Qiu might not even get into a junior college.
Ye Qiu went upstairs, went inside, directly took his clothes to the bathroom for a shower, then returned to his room, closed the door, laid out a mat on the ground, turned off the light, and started cultivating the âPrimordial Five Emperors Techniqueâ in a cross-legged position.
The essence of the moonlight continuously transformed into spiritual energy, then into true energy flowing through his meridians, and finally stored in his dantian.
Ye Qiu hadnât been cultivating for a very long time, but through absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, he had already broken through to the peak of the second layer of Qi Refining.
With his current strength, he knew it would still take a long time to ascend back to the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau.
The next morning, Ye Qiu absorbed the sunâs essence, got up, dressed, washed in the bathroom, and found that his sister and parents were already busy at the porridge shop.
It was just past seven in the morning, and his parents and sister, who had come home so late, had to go back early to open the shop.
He knew he had to quickly change the familyâs conditions so they wouldnât have to work so hard.
It was a small repayment for the original owner of this body, Ye Qiu.
After all, it was the original Ye Qiuâs body.
Besides, now that his parents and sister treated him so well, Ye Qiu knew that even a small kindness should be repaid with great gratitude.
He would let his sister and parents live a good life as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the porridge shop, Ye Xue, busy with an apron on, made him a bowl of beef noodles when she saw him.
After eating, Ye Qiu rode his bike to Liu Lingshowâs house.
Liu Lingshow had already finished breakfast and was waiting for Ye Qiu to come.
Last night, she had made things clear to her parents.
As long as her grades didnât fall behind, they couldnât interfere with her free interaction with Ye Qiu.
Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong agreed because they could see that their daughter and Ye Qiu seemed to be getting closer.
If they interfered harshly, it could affect their daughterâs studies instead.
Liu Lingshow was sitting by the window, glancing around, but didnât see Ye Qiu.
It wasnât until eight in the morning that she saw Ye Qiu coming.
âYe Qiu, have you had breakfast?â
Seeing Ye Qiu, Liu Lingshow hurried out to ask.
âI had breakfast before coming.
Letâs go to school.â
Liu Lingshow grabbed her study materials, then got on the rear rack of Ye Qiuâs bike, and he pedaled toward Jiangbei No.
3 Middle School.
This morning from nine to eleven-thirty, the comprehensive arts exam was scheduled, and the English exam was in the afternoon from three to five.
The comprehensive arts exam was worth three hundred points, comprising thirty-five multiple-choice questions worth four points each, totaling one hundred and forty points.
The remaining six questions were worth one hundred and sixty points altogether, adding up to three hundred points.
The comprehensive arts exam was easy to score but also easy to lose points, as it tested basic knowledge in geography, politics, and history.
The previous Ye Qiu couldnât do the big questions and could only guess at the multiple-choice questions, relying entirely on luck.
If he was lucky, he might get ten of the multiple-choice questions right for forty points; if not, five correct answers would already be good.
On the other hand, Liu Lingshow usually scored over two hundred and forty points in comprehensive arts, which was considered quite good.
âYe Qiu, just take your time with the comprehensive arts exam today.â
âYou know my situation.
Whether I take my time or rush, it doesnât make a difference.â
Hearing Ye Qiu say that, Liu Lingshow thought he would rely on luck again.
If that were the case, she felt it would be impossible for Ye Qiu to score higher than her in the joint exam.
Given their past performance, her score in any subject was usually higher than the combined scores of Ye Qiuâs four subjects.
So Liu Lingshow thought that the bet Ye Qiu made with her was just a joke, but she had taken it seriously.
