Chapter 129 Practice 07

First of all, it was very creepy that a person of high status who was powerful enough to overwhelm him cast his eyes at him. Jiang Yuelu did not think that being valued by this "ghost master" was a good thing.

Secondly, no matter what, the fate he now bears belongs to the Wizard Academy. He has been pushed to the opposite side of the ghost world and has killed three city masters, Ji Hongcha, Qin Xue, and Jin Muxi. The fourth is also on the list... At this time, "Ghost Lord" issued an order, saying that the young man is a good person and can try to help?

Stop joking.

It's like Jiang Yuelu ran to someone else's house and beat all three children until they cried, then went back home anxiously waiting to be punished, but the parents came with gifts, touched his head with a smile, and said: This child has a bright future.

Isn't this dangerous? It's dangerous!

"Are you scared?" Xia Yi carefully discerned his expression.

From his stiff movements, I could see some clues. The social etiquette I had learned before coming here was useful. Then, how to treat a scared person? He had never felt scared before. Xia Yi remembered what his teacher said about "comfort". Humans seemed to be very receptive to this.

Comfort: soothing actions and encouraging words.

Xia Yi recalled everything he had learned and said, "If you're worried, I'll accompany you the whole way to Ghost City next time." Words alone might not be enough, so he clumsily placed his palm on Jiang Yuelu's head, earning a puzzled glance upwards from the other party.

Xia Yi: "Can't you see? I'm comforting you."

It would be strange if you could tell. If someone didn’t know, they would think you were measuring my temperature… Jiang Yuelu leaned back uncomfortably, “Thank you for your comfort. I do feel much better now.”

"You're welcome." Xia Yi withdrew his hand and put it behind his back uncomfortably.

"Hey, wait a minute." Jiang Yuelu raised her head, "You said we're going to Ghost City next time... Do you already know our next plan?"

Xia Yi snorted and laughed: "You guys? What plans do you have?"

Jiang Yuelu was sweating. Although his words were impolite, they were quite right.

The academy couldn't even tell that there was a Duzhu hiding in their own examination room. Ever since they met Ji Hongcha at the beginning of the school year, they were pushed into this tit-for-tat wave. After defeating the two lower Duzhu, the entire academy celebrated for it... In any case, their vision was a bit narrow.

Later, it was Jin Muxi who pulled the "exam candidates" into the stern ship. If it weren't for this, the academy wouldn't even be able to find the location of the city masters.

From this perspective, the gap in strength between the ghost world and the academy is not small.

Jiang Yuelu had some idea of how much damage Dean Kong had done to the wizarding world by saying that the "melee a hundred years ago" was a big deal. Since that battle, the status of wizards and demons had completely reversed.

Jiang Yuelu shook her head. "Don't underestimate people's potential. They may not be able to do it now, but they may be able to do it in the future."

He was not speaking for the academy, but he had spent some time here and saw many wizards coming and going. They grew on the roots of their family and practiced hard, just to make the whole tree flourish. At any time, as long as people had faith and the courage to fight for it, they would not be looked down upon.

He thought these words would make Xia Yi angry, but he didn't expect that after listening to him, the other party seemed to be thinking about something, "You have said something like this before."

Jiang Yuelu: “…”

He suddenly understood a little. It was annoying when you remembered something but the other person didn't. But what was even more annoying was that the other person remembered something but you just couldn't remember it.

Jiang Yuelu smiled and said, "Really? Then what do you think after listening to it?"

Xia Yi thought about it and said, "I thought it was bullshit at first."

Jiang Yuelu: “…”

"But after traveling around and gaining some knowledge, I no longer think so. Moreover, some of the questions that puzzled me have reasonable explanations."

Jiang Yuelu smiled and said, "Reasonable?"

Xia Yi hummed. When he was thinking about a problem, he was not so erratic and difficult to get along with. His expression when answering questions was also particularly serious, giving the illusion of being well-behaved.

“People are like ants. They are weak and like to stick together. But they are also like weeds. They can’t be cut or burned.”

"The great war a hundred years ago almost killed all the wizards. The ghosts thought that their roots were extinct, but they didn't expect that they could still escape and survive in various corners. Even now, there are still..." Xia Yi glanced at him, "There is still one person who can stand up and challenge the big ghosts."

Jiang Yuelu raised the corner of her mouth, "I hit your subordinates, aren't you angry?"

Xia Yi snorted, "I think every ghost has heard of the law of the jungle. They should think carefully before they fall from the throne, why they were defeated by a mortal."

"What's more..." He suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

Jiang Yuelu: "What's more?"

Xia Yi shifted his gaze and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Besides, it's you. You are different from everyone else."

Jiang Yuelu was stunned, not knowing what to do. Fortunately, Xia Yi turned back after he finished speaking, and within a moment, the blue bird slowly landed on the ground. Only then did he put his sour and strange mood back into his stomach.

Sitting on the slide and sliding down from the bluebird's wings, Jiang Yuelu plucked its bright feathers to express his gratitude, then turned around and asked Xia Yi, "Whose ghosts are you going to visit next time?"

"An opera singer." Xia Yi said.

"An opera singer?" Jiang Yuelu couldn't imagine.

Xia Yi pointed at his head and said, "That guy is a bit sick. He is the craziest among the four. He might kick up a mad dog when he walks on the road."

A rabid patient... Jiang Yuelu vaguely caught something from the Ghost King's red eyes.

If he was not mistaken, it should be a fleeting fear. This is not the fear of the weak towards the strong, but the physiological retreat for fear of being stuck with dog shit.

A big ghost that Xia Yi doesn't want to deal with... what would it be like?

Jiang Yuelu asked, "Next time we go back, we should go as a group of three. Me and two students from the academy. Since you want to come with us, can you not show yourself in your current appearance?"

Xia Yi: "You don't have to worry about this. I've already prepared for it."

Jiang Yuelu asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

Xia Yi did not answer him immediately. He reached out and took off the blue bird's eyeballs. Without the support of the magical tears, the blue bird quickly melted into a pool of flames. After circling around Jiang Yuelu happily, it floated back to Xia Yi's brows, emitting a floating red dot of light and disappeared.

"Here you go." Xia Yi returned the teardrop to him and pointed forward again, "Go straight ahead and you will find your class's campsite."

A waterfall flows down not far away, and the sound of dripping water is everywhere, making the surrounding grass and trees look fresh and green. There is a wide road in front of the waterfall. Looking down through the branches, you can see the village at the foot of the mountain, which is arranged in a circular layout like an ox nose ring.

If you look from the sky, this green mountain looks like a simple and honest bull head.

This is the real Niu Shou Mountain.

It was midnight, and both the wizard camp and the village far below the mountain were sleeping quietly. But Jiang Yuelu knew that the camp only seemed quiet, because the wizards must have made a thorough arrangement, with silent bells hanging between the trees and yellow talismans to ward off evil spirits pasted on the backs of the tree trunks.

People will pass by without any harm, but ghosts will make a noise when they approach.

Jiang Yuelu nodded and said, "It's very dangerous for you to go there rashly, so just send me here."

Xia Yi raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about."

Jiang Yuelu hurriedly said: "It's not that you will be in danger, but they will be."

"Don't worry, I don't want to cause any trouble." Xia Yi pointed down the mountain, "I'll go change my clothes and come back up. Don't you want to know how I can go to Ghost City with you?"

Jiang Yuelu: "I want to know."

"That's right. Wait for me on the mountain obediently." Xia Yi didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "You will know at dawn."

-

Jiang Yuelu returned to the class camp safely.

The news that he was taken away by Xia Yi did not alarm all the students. Firstly, the Ghost King's visit would undoubtedly make the students panic, and secondly, the place where they were at that time was too far away from Niu Shou Mountain. Therefore, under the intentional concealment of the academy, only a few witnesses knew about this matter.

The other students were still going through the training assessment as if nothing had happened.

Upon learning that he had returned, Leng Wenhan rushed over immediately. With the help of Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan's explanations, he slowly pieced together what had happened after he left.

At that time, Leng Wenhan was sitting in a stone pit, and with an expressionless face, he sent more than a hundred urgent telegrams to the college.

After about a few hours, the people sent by the academy finally arrived.

At this point, Chen Chuan remained silent. Jiang Yuelu asked, "What's wrong? Who is coming?"

Zhao Xiaoxuan and Chen Chuan looked at each other, not daring to mention the man's name, so Leng Wenhan spoke up, "It's Mo Zhixian."

Mo Zhixian? Last name Mo?

Considering the fear that Chen Chuan and the other two had for this person, Jiang Yuelu began to understand a little.

"It's the president of the student union who's here."

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, what on earth was Dean Kong thinking? Xia Yi, he was second only to one ghost, and was above ten thousand ghosts. After such a big ghost king kidnapped students right under the nose of the college, he only let a student leader come and take a look... He could have sent someone at the vice-dean level over.

He thought so, and Leng Wenhan was even more so.

It was hard to describe how he felt when he finally heard some noise after sitting in the pit for a long time. He looked up and saw a student who was not much older than him. It was like someone poured a basin of cold water over his head when he was extremely anxious. Leng Wenhan opened his white pupils, and a chill lingered all over his body. He asked without hesitation, "Who are you?"

The visitor behaved very politely, and every move he made seemed to be well-disciplined, making him an example of a well-educated and noble family.

However, when politeness and rules are taken too far, they become boring and rigid.

"Mo Zhixian." He answered Leng Wenhan and pointed out his identity directly, "The Luoyin official of the Leng family, stays indoors, so he doesn't know my name."

"If I remember correctly, you returned to the academy to attend classes and became a member of the academy at midnight two weeks ago on Monday. In that case, have you read the student handbook?"

Looking at Leng Wenhan's face, he said, "Probably not."

Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan were standing by and didn't dare to breathe. They knew the student union president and knew how powerful the student union was in the college. Those cadres could deduct points from students according to the manual. To a certain extent, they had more power than teachers.

Noticing them, Mo Zhixian turned around.

Zhao Xiaoxuan was so frightened that she shuddered, "We, we didn't do anything wrong!"

Mo Zhixian's eyes were like searchlights, stripping them cleanly. Not finding anything, he went back to strip Leng Wenhan and said mercilessly, "Your hair is too long. Go back and cut it."

Leng Wenhan had a blank expression on his face and said nothing.

A pair of white pupils were filled with mist, staring at Mo Zhixian closely.

Chen Chuan wanted to cry but had no tears. "What should we do? Will she go up and fight with the Chairman? If a fight really breaks out, who will we help?"

Zhao Xiaoxuan was worried: "It shouldn't happen. The most urgent thing now is to find Brother Lu. She has a plan in mind."

Sure enough, Leng Wenhan lowered his clenched fist.

Mo Zhixian looked around and asked, "Why are you sitting in the pit?"

Chen Chuan hurriedly said: "It was a stone pavilion before, but it was caught up in a flash, and flew away in a snap. We could only fall in with a clang..."

They didn't know who the person was, they only knew that the other party was able to snatch the person away in front of Luoyinguan, so he must be very powerful. But looking at Mo Zhixian's expression, it seemed that he knew the identity of the person.

"What is the name of the student who was taken away?" Mo Zhixian asked.

"Jiang Yuelu." This time it was Leng Wenhan who answered.

Mo Zhixian glanced at him and said, "Do you have anything to prove it? Show me your ID too."

This is a necessary investigation, as similar terrible incidents have occurred before. Several evil ghosts peeled off the skin of wizards and impersonated them. The wizards who rushed to rescue them failed to recognize them and were brutally killed.

Chen Chuan and Zhao Xiaoxuan had taken safety classes, so they cooperated and took out their IDs. Leng Wenhan also slowly took out his own.

Mo Zhixian stretched out his hand, "One more missing."

Leng Wenhan paused and said, "It's on him."

"You're not good at lying. So don't do this." Mo Zhixian's voice sounded deadly: "You have another ID on you, but it's fake."

"He could fool other student union officials, but not me. That student didn't have any documents to prove his identity."

Mo Zhixian flipped open his notebook and said, "You, deduct ten points."

"And the student named Jiang Yuelu, tell him when you get back and deduct ten points from him as well."

…

Jiang Yuelu was so upset when she heard the bad news that she couldn't say a word for a long time. Leng Wenhan lowered his head, seeming to regret not being able to protect Jiang Yuelu's points.

"Forget it... Just ten points. I can still earn more if I lose it... Wenhan, it's nothing."

Then why is your voice floating, Brother Lu... Chen Chuan came over and whispered, "He will come to check tomorrow morning to see if you have been replaced or bewitched. Remember to be prepared, don't get deducted points again."

"Tomorrow morning?" He thought that this vigorous and decisive chairman would come soon.

Chen Chuan smiled awkwardly, "Chairman Mo goes to bed at 9:30 pm and wakes up at 6:30 am. He has been following this schedule for more than ten years. Even the dean can't change it."

Jiang Yuelu: “…”

What a weirdo.

"Then tomorrow... Wait." Jiang Yuelu sat up in shock from her dying illness, "Tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

Tomorrow morning... Xia Yi will also come, and this fussy and rigid chairman will come to interrogate us after dawn... They won't, won't run into each other, right? !
