Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn-Chapter 223 - 28: Xiao Xian’s Hard-to-Purify Six Senses

In the following month of training, as Ni Shahe started to prepare for the school sports event, the basketball team’s practice was almost entirely left to Bai Xue and Wang Ke to manage.

Zhang Yiyi was initially worried that following the "loss" incident, Wang Ke would become even more ruthless towards them. But after waiting a few days, possibly because Bai Xue was there, Wang Ke seemed to have mellowed out a lot, and didn’t cause any more trouble for Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi.

During this period, there was also a piece of good news. Following Bai Xue’s instructions, Zhang Yiyi moved from center to forward. At first, she wasn’t used to it, but after a couple of weeks, especially after playing in several matches with the substitute players, Zhang Yiyi clearly felt her speed and responsiveness had improved a lot compared to before.

Bai Xue’s vision was so accurate, she immediately saw the potential in Zhang Yiyi. Besides being happy, Zhang Yiyi couldn’t help but reflect: "It’s unbelievable to say, but after six years of playing defense, I’ve just now realized that offense is more suitable for me." Zhang Yiyi was practicing shooting with Xiao Xian, and compared with her, Xiao Xian’s recent training was not easy either.

Who would have thought that in the personal showdown with Wang Ke last time, Xiao Xian’s shooting and free throws really made the women’s basketball team lose face. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Xiao Xian’s recent task was: to shoot one hundred and fifty baskets every day, and from different positions on the basketball court at that. Besides that, she also needed to practice basic moves like layups and reverse layups. Now that it was deep into autumn, such high-intensity training made Zhang Yiyi feel as if her bones were falling apart after every day’s practice.

However, Xiao Xian didn’t seem to react much, aside from eating an extra bowl of rice every day, everything else was normal. Zhang Yiyi didn’t know that for Xiao Xian, who practiced cultivation, using the Cloud Ascension Technique once would consume more mental energy than a whole day of basketball training.

Zhang Yiyi, who used to complain frequently, now had Zhu Xiaoxian, such a "hardworking" friend, so the frequency of her slacking off had significantly decreased. Two months later, after the first junior high mid-term exam, Sacred Heart Middle School’s autumn sports event began.

Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi, who were not participating in the competition, had a four-day holiday. Xiao Xian would usually go home, but this time Zhang Yiyi did not go shopping as before. Xiao Xian invited her to visit her home, but she declined.

"You’re really not going? Or are you planning on cheering for the athletes and working on logistics?" Several members of Xiao Xian’s class were members of the student council responsible for maintaining order during the sports event. Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi, because of their previous transgressions, had heard of Zeng Xuerou, the president of the student council, so they did not participate in the student council recruitment.

"No, I’ll just stay in school," Zhang Yiyi hemmed and hawed, not clarifying.

Xiao Xian didn’t ask more. Recently, Zhang Yiyi had been acting strangely: eating fewer snacks and occasionally disappearing for a bit. While Xiao Xian was slightly dissatisfied with her changes, everyone has their own secrets, just as Xiao Xian wouldn’t talk to Zhang Yiyi about how she relied on the spiritual energy in her space to recover from the day’s exhaustion each night.

The sports event’s holiday came quite unexpectedly; Xiao Xian hadn’t had time to inform Zhuo Feng and Feng Xing in advance. When she first moved into the new house, Zhuo Feng made a set of keys for her, so notifying him was not really necessary.

It’s only a few stops from Sacred Heart Middle School to the campus. In Beijing’s golden autumn, the leaves were turning red, and everywhere was a charming autumnal scene. Xiao Xian decided to walk back alone.

"I’ve been in Beijing for over two months and haven’t had a proper look around. I might as well walk back," Xiao Xian dressed in the autumn clothes Zhuo Feng bought for her, a beige floral dress, and with a few textbooks, she set out to walk home.

Just as she passed through the campus, a sleek red and black bicycle whizzed past her from behind. The bike skidded to a stop next to Xiao Xian.

"Are you the new player on the basketball team?" Qu Yang, who was riding the bicycle and wearing headphones, opened his mouth with a smile, attracting the attention of many female students around.

After a search in her mind, Xiao Xian confirmed, "I don’t know you." She then continued walking forward without another word.

Qu Yang, quite embarrassed, couldn’t believe someone would forget him after meeting him. He hopped off his bike and followed Xiao Xian, pushing the bike and saying, "Can’t be, you don’t remember me? I’m Qu Yang from the basketball team."

"Oh," Xiao Xian suddenly realized, and Qu Yang, seeing her reaction, casually swept back his hair, "The assistant captain who washes clothes for the entire men’s basketball team? I was just thinking, the high school basketball team members really have a great bond. If our assistant captain were half as good as you, we’d be thanking our lucky stars."
