Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 710 - 432 Guess Guess Guess

Boss Lady put down the scissors and switched to an electric razor to trim Jiang Ning’s short hair.

Hearing the little girl’s response, the Boss Lady said, "Oh, you’re in the first year of middle school? My youngest is a bit older than you, starting second year."

At this point, the Boss Lady became quite chatty, pressing on, "Which middle school are you in?"

Caught in a lie, with more lies to cover up, Xue Yuantong had no choice but to answer, "Iron Middle School."

The Boss Lady’s tone lifted, "My kid goes to Iron Middle School too."

Xue Yuantong felt helpless. Why so coincidental?

The Boss Lady said earnestly, "Middle school is not like elementary school, the knowledge taught is tougher, and if you don’t study seriously, you won’t keep up. If you can’t get into a good high school, your future is ruined."

Xue Yuantong said indifferently, "It’s okay, middle school knowledge isn’t much different from elementary."

The Boss Lady chuckled, "Don’t underestimate it. The kid next door used to score over 90 in elementary school but ended up at the bottom in middle school because he was always online."

While they were talking, a chubby little girl came out of the house, "Mom, give me 10 yuan, I want to buy ice cream."

The Boss Lady, still smiling moments before, suddenly frowned, "What are you eating? Skipping one won’t kill you, will it?"

The chubby girl retorted quickly, "If you don’t let me eat, I’ll go on a hunger strike just like my sister, that’ll scare you!"

Upon hearing this, the Boss Lady nearly exploded, and the electric razor in her hand trembled violently—it could have shaved someone bald.

Jiang Ning activated his Spiritual Power, his hair stood on end, pushing the razor back, unharmed.

Ultimately, the Boss Lady upheld her professional ethics. With a few coaxing words and grand promises, she soothed her daughter and continued cutting hair.

After all, she had a family to feed!

After being promised a treat, the chubby girl sat on the bench, watching her mom cut hair, waiting for her promise to be honored.

Xue Yuantong found it quite amusing. She had seen through the Boss Lady’s tricks already—surface promises but planning to deal with her daughter after work.

If she were Xue Yuantong, she definitely wouldn’t fall for it; she’d grab her things and flee at the first chance.

Identifying so strongly with the situation, Xue Yuantong believed herself to be immensely wise, unmatched in this world.

Soon after, she felt it pointless. Why seek superiority from a naive little girl?

Her rival should be the detestable Jiang Ning!

The Boss Lady said, "Young girl, aren’t you soon going to Iron Middle School? If there’s anything about middle school you don’t understand, just ask my daughter."

Xue Yuantong glanced at Xiao Pang, unable to refuse graciously, she asked humbly, "Hello, is middle school knowledge difficult?"

Xiao Pang replied nonchalantly, "Difficult? I casually rank in the top ten of my class."

The Boss Lady couldn’t help but show a proud expression hearing her daughter’s grades.

Xue Yuantong chuckled secretly, covering her little mouth, "Wow, impressive."

Encouraged by the praise, Xiao Pang waved her hand grandly, "Once you’re at Iron Middle, just mention my name, I’ve got your back."

Xue Yuantong said admiringly, "Thanks a lot."

Next time she needed a haircut, she probably wouldn’t come here; Xue Yuantong was committed to acting till the end.

Time ticked by, and as Jiang Ning’s haircut was almost finished, Xue Yuantong prepared to pay and leave.

Suddenly, a schoolgirl entered, dressed in a crop top that revealed her slender waist, exuding youthful charm.

Xue Yuantong tensed up because she recognized the girl; it was Tan Meiling from 9th class next door.

’Why is she coming for a haircut? What if I’m exposed?’

In a flash, countless thoughts raced through Xue Yuantong’s mind. She secretly bowed her head, hoping not to be noticed.

However, Tan Meiling spotted Jiang Ning in the mirror—a boy with a remarkable demeanor and handsome appearance, someone she remembered well.

What she remembered most vividly was the small dining table plan in the cafeteria; Jiang Ning was the only boy at his table.

Due to this, he had drawn envy from some boys in class 9.

With her pleasant personality, Tan Meiling greeted enthusiastically, "Hey, Jiang Ning, here for a haircut?"

Although Jiang Ning faced the mirror, he captured everyone’s expressions and reactions in his Divine Sense.

He asked, "Is this your family’s barber shop?"

Tan Meiling, far from being embarrassed about being ordinary, introduced comfortably, "Yes, it’s ours."

Xue Yuantong, head still lowered, stared in disbelief.

"Mom, he’s my classmate, let’s give him the haircut for free," said Tan Meiling.

The Boss Lady responded warmly, "Hey, it’s your classmate, no problem at all!"

Tan Meiling glanced at Jiang Ning and began to scan around—the image she had was that where Jiang Ning was, another little girl should be too.

Indeed, she noticed the lowered head of Xue Yuantong. Facing this pure and cheerful little girl, Tan Meiling took the initiative to greet her, "Xue Yuantong, you’re here too."

The Boss Lady was puzzled, "You know his sister too?"

A clear confusion crossed Tan Meiling’s face, her eyes shifting between Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong, blurting out her confusion, "Aren’t you classmates? Are you also siblings?"

This left the Boss Lady bewildered, "Classmates?"

Xue Yuantong blushed and lost her cool.

After Tan Meiling’s explanation, the relation between the two was finally clear.

Xue Yuantong fell silent with guilt, and the Boss Lady tried to maintain a polite but awkward smile.

Until the haircut was finished, Jiang Ning "insistently" paid for the service, then left the shop with Xue Yuantong.

After the two left, the Boss Lady cautioned, "Lingling, you must watch out for them, they’re three lies in a step!"

Tan Meiling didn’t mind, instead, she remarked, "Both of them rank first and second in the whole school."
