Xu Zhen spent another two days distancing herself from Little Beggar, but it seemed ineffective. As dawn broke, she sat up, leaning against the window. Outside, Little Beggar was busy sweeping, doing laundry, and chopping wood.
Shadows outside the low wall indicated children peeking in. Upon seeing the scar on Little Beggar's face, they ran away crying. Since the day Xu Zhen broke the cup, Little Beggar seemed to grasp her intent and stayed away, yet she continued to clean and cook, leaving ten copper coins on the table. Where they came from was a mystery.
At night, she didn't stay at Xu Zhen's house. Perhaps she found refuge in a dilapidated temple or slept under the stars.
Xu Zhen hardened her heart, not allowing herself to dwell on it.
Watching from the window, she reflected that no matter how formidable a villain might become, they were just like any other child at this age.
It was merely misfortune and poison that had wronged her.
The more Xu Zhen thought about it, the sadder she felt.
To shake off this feeling, she opened the system store for a distraction.
Having only glanced last time, she took a closer look now and noticed something strange.
Logically, having recalled Little Beggar's role in the book, the main task should be complete.
Yet, it lingered at (7/10).
The seven clues were:
1. Real name: Xun Qianchun
2. Currently 14 years old
3. Mixed Xianbei and Han heritage
4. Poisoned
5. Six years ago, the Xun family was executed
6. Villain of this world
7. Knows martial arts
Three clues remained unknown.
Xu Zhen, unwilling to accept this, reviewed the plot in her mind and listed more details about Little Beggar. The system remained unresponsive.
It seemed she'd have to wait for the main task's reward.
Additionally, Li Sanlang's card was still displayed on the main task interface.
This reminded Xu Zhen that reforming villains could earn points.
And if she remembered correctly, besides Li Sanlang, Qinglong Mountain had several minor villains.
She couldn't always rely on Little Beggar for easy merit points; she needed to aim for five hundred points in total.
This realization prompted Xu Zhen to act cautiously and wisely.
Heading to the academy seemed wise.
The academy was indeed a good place.
Jumping out of bed, Xu Zhen ran to the kitchen, grabbed two white flatbreads, stuffed them into her pocket, and hurried to the academy while Little Beggar was busy in the backyard.
She left home later than usual, with little time before classes began.
Despite Mr. Zhao's class, the main gate had guards. If caught arriving late, the stingy headmaster would surely dock her pay.
