Transmigration: Children of The Plane

A Trio of Idiots

'That's what he meant.' Xue Bai cursed inwardly.

Fang Hui was an intelligent man who knew how to sow discord even between Domain Lord realm powerhouses, let alone small children in the Qi Sea realm.

If not, how could he get such a position in the Academy with his low cultivation?

Feng Hui knew that Xue Bai was a ruthless man, but he also knew that Xue Bai wouldn't kill innocent people.

That was why he phrased himself so awkwardly. It was to get the other Black-Robed Students to fight Xue Bai and 'exchange pointers' with him.

His mission with this was to try and see if any of the students would be able to force a card out of Xue Bai or maybe even give him insights into Xue Bai's teleportation skill.

The chances were slim, definitely, but as long as it was possible, Feng Hui would try his luck.

Also, no one would be killed with this plan, so he lost nothing, even if it did fail.

It was a plan with sky-high rewards with little to no risk.

Feng Hui would be stupid if he didn't try it.

Xue Bai guessed this much with the limited information he had, but it still angered him. First Lin Fu, now this random person surnamed Ling, it seemed that every Black-Robed Student was fated to disturb his cultivation.

"Xue Bai, I know you're awake now! Don't cower like a turtle in your room. If you have guts follow me to the training field!" Ling Yi was getting more and more impatient as time passed.

Veins appeared on Xue Bai's face as his anger started to peak.

–

Outside of Xue Bai's bedroom were three young men.

However, weirdly enough, each of the young men looked exactly the same. From their face, hair, clothes, and even eye color, it was as if they were all cut from the same mold.

The only differences the three had were their cultivation bases and temperaments.

The young man standing in the back of the group only had a cultivation base of the 3rd stage of the Qi Sea realm, and he exuded a weak and cowardly temperament. Every time his eldest brother banged on the door of Xue Bai, his face cowered, and he looked more and more scared.

His name was Ling San, the youngest of the three Ling triplets, a Black-Robed Student with a high Yellow-grade Martial Veins of the water attribute. Known to be a very kind gentleman, Ling San liked to use his rare element to help others rather than to kill and loved healing people.

In fact, it was his dream to awaken a fire element Martial Vein and become an alchemist. But, sadly, fate wasn't in his cards, and he awakened the opposite element needed for alchemy.

Thankfully he did awaken a set of water element Martial Veins which allowed him to still help others through healing.

But even with his lucky draw of the genetic lottery, he could rarely use his water element to heal others, as his much more reckless and adventure-seeking elder brothers always forced him into horrible situations.

"First Brother, why are you so obstinate? Didn't you see what happened with Senior Brother Lin? What if that Xue Bai decides to maim you as he did to Lin Fu? We don't have the money or healing pills to reattach an arm as he does." Ling San shyly spoke, trying to stop his eldest brother from doing something he regretted.

But his voice was drowned out by the person in front of him.

The young man in the middle of the group was much rowdier than his younger brother and looked like he was a man who wanted to see the world burn.

Whenever Ling Yi banged on the door, his face would only light up more and more. He would even cheer his eldest brother on every few bangs like a cheerleader.

His cultivation was a few stages higher than Ling San being at the 6th stage of the Qi Sea realm.

The middle twin's name was Ling Er, and like his younger brother, he also had a reputation in the Academy. But unlike Ling San's gentle countenance, Ling Er looked like he didn't even fear the heavens themselves.

It was a stark contrast, and if they didn't look the exact same, no one would have assumed the two were related.

"Little San, you have to get out of that shell of yours!" Ling Er laughed, "Eldest Brother is a strong man at the peak of the Qi Sea realm. And besides that, Lin Fu is a disgrace to cultivators. All he cares about is posing and showing off. Eldest Brother's strength can't be compared with that poser."

"But even if Eldest Brother is strong, we all saw  Xue Bai's weird abilities. He can disappear and appear anywhere he wishes to. How can Eldest Brother stop that?" Ling San was still being cautious.

Feng Hui's words were laced with bad intentions as he knew people like Ling Yi were on the ship—the type of people who were either headstrong or thought of fighting stronger and worthy opponents.

Martial Fanatics

And Ling San, while shy and cowardly, was also the smartest of the three. It was because of that fact that the other two let him travel with them.

So Ling San could see through Feng Hui's intentions and wanted to explain them to his elder brothers.

But before he did, a cold and boney hand clasped his shoulder.

"You're rather smart! Too bad your brothers are idiots."

Ling San was confused by the compliment and the random touch, but instinctively he thought that it was Ling Er and went to reply, but once he realized that his brothers were both in front of him, he froze.

Then like a rusty door, Ling San shakily turned his head.

Behind him, with the brightest smile he could put on, Xue Bai stood. However, unlike the friendly smile Xue Bai would use to gain goodwill, Ling San felt nothing good from Xue Bai's smile.

Plus, with the bulging veins near Xue Bai's temple, Ling San knew he was in a horrible situation.

"AHHHH!" Horrified, Ling San jumped away, not caring for his image at all.

At first, the other two Ling siblings hadn't heard Xue Bai's voice and were still focused on the bedroom door, but once Long San screamed in terror, they both quickly turned around in confusion.

Seeing Xue Bai stand behind them casually with no fear on his face, their hearts clenched in fear.

'I didn't even notice him appear!'

Ling Yi and Ling Er were terrified at Xue Bai's abilities.

They could clearly sense he was in the room just a few seconds ago, but now without any warning and even before they realized he was gone, he was right behind them.

"So, do you still want to fight?" Xue Bai impatiently asked as he saw their faces twist into horror.

He hadn't expected there to be so many people outside his bedroom, but now that he had learned it, he became even angrier.

'Do these idiots think my room is a hangout spot?'

"No, no, no, how dare we disturb you, Prince Consort!" Ling Yi's momentum completely swapped, and he quickly denied wanting to fight Xue Bai.

Previously he thought that Lin Fu was being careless and didn't use his Spiritual Sense well enough, and as a result, he was caught off guard by Xue Bai's antics.

But he realized that he was wrong.

While he was being rude and banging on Xue Bai's door, he constantly had his Spiritual Sense out and even peered into Xue Bai's room with it. And yet still, Xue Bai managed to teleport behind him.

If he continued to aggravate this monster, wouldn't he just be asking for death?

Ling Yi wanted to live a few more years and quickly admitted defeat. So without any other words, he grabbed his two idiot brothers and ran off, fearing Xue Bai was still angry.

Xue Bai only looked at the idiot trio coldly and let them run.

He could easily sense that there was no malicious intent behind Ling Yi's challenge. Instead, the man just truly wanted to fight against Xue Bai.

They were just reckless idiots who hadn't seen the world yet, and getting angry at them would do nothing but further play into Feng Hui's plan.

However, he couldn't say that he was annoyed, so before the trio left his line of sight, Xue Bai pinched his fingers and folded the space between them.

Then taking a wide step, Xue Bai appeared in front of the trio just before they turned the corner.

"You have disturbed my precious cultivation time. Shouldn't you compensate me?" Xue Bai spoke as he manifested in front of them.

The Ling siblings shivered.

–

After Xue Bai extorted… was compensated by the Ling trio, he let them leave peacefully without harming them. At least physically.

Whether they could step out of the psychological shadow Xue Bai left on them would be up to them and their future merits.

Back in his room, Xue Bai put his consciousness in the spatial ring that Ling Yi gave to him and started to sort through its contents.

'600 Spiritual Stones, 45 Tiger Strength Pill bottles, 134 middle Yellow-grade attack talismans….'

The more and more Xue Bai went through the spatial ring, the more a certain thought appeared in his head.

'Did those idiots keep all of their belongings in one spatial ring?'

–

A few floors down, the Ling siblings finally stopped running.

"Eldest Brother, is he still chasing us?" Ling San fearfully asked as he scanned his surroundings.

They had now arrived at the floor where the training room was, and since the room was completely wide open without any walls, Ling San eventually got the answer himself.

However, Ling Yi didn't see Ling San's clarity and still answered him with a sarcastic yes.

"At least he didn't hurt you two." Ling Yi sighed in relief, "And he even stupidly took the dud spatial ring I carry…."

Ling Yi paused.

The twins noticed this and looked back at their Eldest Brother in confusion, but once they saw his pale face, they had an inkling of what had happened.

"Eldest Brother?"

"Eldest Brother, did you really?"

Ling San and Ling Er were heartbroken at the possibility, but with how Long Yi looked, they soon realized that it was most likely what happened.

The trio sighed.

'''Dammit Feng Hui!!!'''
