Chapter 116 These two men are so boring

After Xiao Mo and the other two finished the assessment, they went to a restaurant in the town to celebrate together, and returned to Bailu Academy the next day.

When they came to the academy to take the exam, the three of them could not fly because the journey was also an item in the test, so they could only ride horses or drive.

But now that the exam is over, Xiao Mo and the other two can fly back to Bailu Academy.

With the three of them at their current level, it wouldn't take more than two days in total.

However, Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Shang did not want to return to the academy so soon.

They planned to take a different route back, still riding horses and driving, to experience different customs and cultures.

Although Xiao Mo wanted to go back to see Ruxue as soon as possible, he didn't want to disturb Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Shang.

After all, the scholars of Bailu Academy cannot often go down the mountain, and there are certain restrictions every time they go down the mountain.

Xiao Mo suggested that he wanted to go back alone, but his senior brothers and sisters kept trying to stop him. Finally, he decided to just go with them.

It doesn't matter these days anyway.

On the way back, Xiao Mo did see all kinds of things in this world.

Even the rabbit spirit that Senior Brother Luo had once let go secretly gave him carrots.

Although Senior Brother Luo had a cold expression on his face, he ignored the rabbit.

But while his group was asleep, the senior brother secretly washed the radishes and ate them.

"What is the fundamental reason for the war between the human race and the demon race?"

"Can humans and demons really not coexist?"

Xiao Mo has been thinking about these two questions recently.

In the end, Xiao Mo came to the conclusion of "hatred".

It is rumored that during the ancient chaotic period, the human race and the demon race once joined forces to create a new world.

But later, the human race and the demon race parted ways, and there were constant frictions, which even led to the outbreak of the first human-demon war.

In that great war, both the human and demon races suffered heavy casualties, and the number of humans and demons in the world was almost halved.

That is, after the first battle between humans and demons, the conflict between the two sides became almost impossible to mediate and was almost a mortal feud.

Not to mention that the demons absorb the essence of humans and devour their flesh and blood, which is more conducive to their cultivation. As more and more demons take this shortcut, humans naturally become more and more hateful towards the demons.

The demons eat humans, and humans keep exterminating them.

As a result, the friction between the human race and the demon race became more and more serious, and the hatred became deeper and deeper.

The human race and the demon race sit down and have a good talk?

Almost impossible.

The only option is to "beat".

The fight went on until it was dark and gloomy.

Beat everyone and every monster until they are tired.

The war has forced both sides to rethink the "meaning of war."

Perhaps, this is the only way to usher in a brief peace.

One night, three people camped in a cave.

Senior Sister Shang fell asleep, leaning on Xiao Mo's shoulder. Xiao Mo gently laid her down on the piled straw.

"Junior brother, with your temper, I really can't imagine what it will be like for you to go on the battlefield when the war between humans and demons begins."

Luo Yang looked at Xiao Mo and said with a smile.

It’s not that Luo Yang has never laughed, but he rarely laughs, and when he laughs, the corners of his mouth only curl up slightly.

If you don't spend a long time with him, you won't even notice that he is smiling.

"If we have to fight, then we have to fight." Xiao Mo covered Shang Jiuli with a piece of clothing and sat down in front of the campfire with his senior brother. "In this war between two worlds, who can escape?"

"Yeah." Luo Yang looked at the bonfire in front of him, "Who can be spared?"

Luo Yang and Xiao Mo both fell silent.

But the two of them did not feel awkward.

Both sides had something on their minds.

"Junior brother." After a long time, Luo Yang called Xiao Mo.

"Hmm?" Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at Senior Brother Luo. The flickering firelight reflected his resolute face.

"You and Junior Sister, don't die."

Luo Yang used a stick to fan the flames, and the crackling sound of the bonfire echoed in the cave.

After a long time, Xiao Mo nodded: "Brother, don't die."

"good."

In the cave, Shang Jiuli, lying on a pile of grass, wrapped himself in the clothes and felt speechless.

I thought these two grown men could talk about something interesting.

Instead they were talking about life and death.

“These two men are so boring.”

Shang Jiuli curled up the corners of his mouth and thought to himself.

Forget it, let’s go to sleep.

Shang Jiuli gradually fell asleep.

Although they are boring.

But with the two of them keeping watch, he slept soundly.

The three of them got up early the next morning and continued their journey.

It took a total of half a month before Xiao Mo and the other two finally returned to the academy.

It took a total of seventy days from leaving Bailu Academy to returning.

"I'll go report to the teacher about our descent. You're tired from the journey, so you should get some rest."

Luo Yang bowed and said goodbye to Xiao Mo and the others.

"Thank you, senior brother." Xiao Mo bowed in return and saw Luo Yang off.

"Ah, Senior Sister, I'm going to sleep first." Shang Jiuli yawned and put her slender hand on Xiao Mo's shoulder, "Junior Brother, do you want to sleep with me?"

Xiao Mo dodged to the side, bowed and said, "That's not necessary. Goodbye, Senior Sister."

"Hmph, stingy guy."

Shang Jiuli walked up the mountain with a pout.

However, Shang Jiuli did not return to his courtyard immediately, but went to his grandfather.

The head of the academy asked me to personally take a letter to my grandfather and pass it on to him.

Shang Jiuli came to the outside of his grandfather's yard.

As usual, grandpa was still drinking tea and reading.

"Grandpa, this is a letter from the Palace Master to you."

Shang Jiuli walked into the courtyard, put the letter on the table, then sat on the stone bench, skillfully took the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Yeah." Shang Qi put away the envelope.

"Grandpa, why did you set up a soundproofing array in the yard?" Shang Jiuli asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm used to it."

Shang Qi waved his hand and removed the soundproofing array covering the courtyard.

"While you were away, the Lord of the North Sea caused quite a stir on a barren mountain north of the White Deer Academy. Every day there was a rumbling noise, as if the mountain was being smashed apart. Grandpa had to set up a magic circle."

"What is Miss Bai doing in that barren mountain?" Shang Jiuli asked in confusion.

"Who knows." Shang Qi patted the fallen leaves on the book, "He said he wanted to give Xiao Mo a gift."

Xiao Mo returned to the courtyard and found that Ruxue was not at home.

But Xiao Mo didn't care. Ruxue might have gone to the town at the foot of the mountain to buy some things.

Xiao Mo put the luggage back in the room, then took out some cakes, candied haws and the Wen Yunzhu he bought on the way, intending to give them all to Ruxue.

However, when Xiao Mo just put the food out, he saw a dusty woman walking towards him.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to recognize her: "Ruxue?"
