The school basketball court was huge. Usually, other than official competitions, it was rarely open, and the school’s basketball training was held in the open-air stadium. Today, the men’s basketball team used the basketball court to train. It was definitely a first.

The significance attributed to the men’s basketball team by the school became evident, considering the attention-grabbing tactics employed. It was clear that this gimmick was designed to make an impact. Upon arriving at the basketball court, Chu Qing found that Zhuo Buqun and the rest of the team had already commenced their training. The coach of the basketball team was Tang Ziyan.

“You’re here.” Tang Ziyan sat in the stands and greeted Chu Qing.

“Yes.” Chu Qing nodded. He looked at the team members who were training enthusiastically below with an indescribably strange expression.

When Chu Qing entered the gym, Zhuo Buqun seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and glanced at Chu Qing. However, that was all. Chu Qing could not be bothered by him. As for the afternoon training, Zhuo Buqun deliberately did not inform him about it. Chu Qing had already let it go on the way here.

His time was very precious. Chu Qing felt it was not worth using it on such a trivial matter.

“Is this even basketball?” Chu Qing placed his bag on the seat at the side and sat down beside Tang Ziyan.

From the looks of it, this was not a basketball team training. It was clearly a group of kindergarten children playing with a ball. Also, what was wrong with the person in sandals? Was he trolling? Why didn’t he just wear slippers? And there were two of them with long hair. Were they feeling a little too elegant?

Tang Ziyan shrugged helplessly. That was true. If this was normal training, she wouldn’t have just sat here and watched.

“Don’t you want this team to bring glory to the school? This won’t do.” Chu Qing expressed his opinion.

Tang Ziyan did not answer. Instead, she stared with a burning gaze and asked, “You’re not someone who cares so much. Why do you ask?”

Chu Qing laughed. “What do you want to hear? Can I say that I care about this because of you?”

“Then I’ll thank you!” Tang Ziyan smiled brightly, her expression reminiscent of a blooming flower. She continued, “As for their attitude, there’s not much I can do about it. Besides, Second High might have a similar mindset. We can’t hold boys to the same standards as girls, right? Regardless, I’ve learned to move past it.”

Chu Qing was speechless. Her words were filled with disdain against boys. However, this was the truth, and Chu Qing was powerless to refute it.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Do you still remember what we talked about last time? You said that you have a new prescription?” Tang Ziyan said in a low voice.

Chu Qing’s pupils constricted. He did not expect Tang Ziyan to mention it before him. The Tang family’s situation was not optimistic. He thought for a moment and said, “There seems to be some misunderstanding between us.”

It was Chu Qing who was too enthusiastic about this matter, so it aroused Tang Ziyan’s vigilance. Hence, he did not deliberately mention this matter these few days and tried to use the time to increase the distance between them. From the looks of it, the outcome was not bad.

“Really?” Tang Ziyan asked. “Don’t you think you’re too out of the ordinary? Your actions and words don’t sound like a boy at all. Instead, you look like a girl. Moreover, you’re a martial artist.”

Chu Qing didn’t continue on this topic. Sometimes, it was necessary to be vigilant.

“I have one or two prescriptions that can help martial artists cultivate. And I need money.” Chu Qing went straight to the point. Because of Tang Ziyan, Chu Qing wanted to help the Tang family. After all, no matter what, Tang Ziyan was his first love in his previous life.

However, going to extremes can be just as detrimental as not doing enough. At the start, Chu Qing had only shown a bit of kindness towards Tang Ziyan, yet it had already made her cautious. If he were to offer the prescription to the Tang family for free, there was no telling how she would interpret his actions.

Moreover, Chu Qing did need money, and the Tang family had loads of them. It was reasonable to settle the scores.

“As long as the prescription is correct, money is not a problem,” Tang Ziyan replied in the tone of the Tang family’s young mistress.

“How do we confirm it?” Chu Qing asked. After cultivating for 300 years, he had at least 800 prescriptions, even though this world was slightly different from the cultivation world.

He understood that some herbs were still the same. Excluding some high-level and complicated pill prescriptions, Chu Qing still had a few that were suitable for this world.

“You can write down a few less medicinal catalysts. I’ll take the rest back and get my family to test them. There will be results.” Tang Ziyan gave an appraisal method.

Chu Qing nodded in agreement. He immediately opened his bag and took out his workbook. He bit the pen and tried his best to remember as he wrote and drew..
