Chapter 1761 A Talking Pigeon
Yan Xi quickly rejected the gesture, saying, "No, no! This is too expensive a present! You've already given a big gift to the students of Sixth High. I can't accept another gift from you."
"This has nothing to do with the school! This is to thank you for teaching Zhang Chao so well. It's all thanks to you that my younger brother is so outstanding. I don't know how to appreciate this painting and it's a waste for me to hold on to it. It's better for me to give it to someone who can appreciate it so that this painting isn't relegated to being just a normal piece of paper."
Since Qiao Mei said so, Yan Xi had no choice but to accept the painting. Qiao Mei and Yan Xi then chatted about the future plans for the school and equipment which the school needed the most at the moment, so that Qiao Mei could send a team to start the preparation work. It was not an easy task to construct a building.
Qiao Mei also intended to ask Han Chen to donate to the school as well. She could not be the only patron, otherwise she would attract too much attention.
Deng Fan was an architect, so she would ask him to be in charge. She did not care about how much it cost, as long as the parking lot was built as quickly as possible.
After Qiao Mei returned home, she had some free time so she took out the luminous pearl which she had sneaked back from the mountain near the Mo family's house. After being nourished by the ginseng juice for so many days, the luminous pearl no longer emitted foul air.
"It's not your imagination. I'm really asking you, do you really want to return to Yao Nian's side?" Qiao Mei said.
The pigeon was so frightened that it quickly hopped a few steps back. This was the first time a human could understand its thoughts.
"I... Of course I want to! But how can a woman like you hear me? Are you a demoness! You're not human! You're... you're a pigeon spirit! Tell me how you cultivate and become a human! I also want to become an immortal!" the pigeon asked Qiao Mei with bright eyes.
Qiao Mei rolled her eyes resignedly and said, "I'm a human! I'm not transformed from a pigeon! You're really as stupid as I expect. I might as well stew you and get some nourishment."
"You crazy woman! I'm a brave and skillful carrier pigeon! I've sent more letters than the number of books you've read! I'm also the leader of our pigeon team! My master thinks highly of me! You actually want to kill me! You must be blind! I'm going back to look for my master! Let me go!" The pigeon kept cooing and was much louder than usual.
This room was fully soundproof and no one outside could hear the pigeon at all. Qiao Mei smiled and said, "Save your strength. Only I can hear you. If you make any more noise and my family members catch hold you and stew you, don't blame me~"
The pigeon shut its mouth obediently and leaned against the far edge of the cage. This was the furthest it could get from Qiao Mei.
