Chapter 130 Oh! So you are that Xiao Mo (asking for monthly tickets)
"This scholar is quite interesting."
He Yeye curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile and touched his fair chin.
"This is the first time I've seen such a reckless fighting style and such a ruthless scholar."
“Woo-woo-woo—woo-woo—”
After three hours of bloody battle.
The low sound of a horn finally came from far behind the demon army's line.
The demon army, which was fighting fiercely with the human monks, heard the horn and retreated in an orderly manner like the receding tide.
The demon cultivators above the Jindan realm stayed at the end, responsible for guarding the rear, fighting and retreating with the human pursuers, and engaging in a tug-of-war.
He Yeye led the human cultivators in pursuit for a while, but found that the demons had quietly laid out several powerful trapping and killing arrays on their retreat route.
“These bastards.”
He Yeye spat and ordered the troops to retreat.
After the first battle.
Xiao Mo dragged his tired body back to the courtyard.
Xiao Mo was covered in blood.
He also had no way of telling whether the sticky blood came from the wounds on his body or from the monsters killed on the battlefield.
However, looking at the tattered blue shirt on his body, Xiao Mo couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
This blue shirt was sewn by Ruxue herself for herself. It is of a high grade and is a third-grade magic weapon.
But it was just a battle...
It became like this.
The battlefield is indeed a meat grinder.
Xiao Mo silently fetched some cool, clean water from the yard and carefully washed off the blackened blood scabs and dirt on his body.
Then he took out some clean cloths, applied the herbs he carried with him, and simply bandaged several deep wounds on his body.
"Not bad, not bad."
Just as Xiao Mo lowered his head to concentrate on treating his wound, a clear female voice suddenly came from the stone table in the yard behind him.
Xiao Mo turned around when he heard the voice.
I saw a petite girl sitting leisurely on a stone bench.
Her white, delicate legs intertwined and swayed gently, glowing with the soft moonlight.
The small silver bell tied on the girl's slender ankle made a subtle and crisp "ding-ling" sound as she moved.
She had a playful smile on her face and was looking at Xiao Mo with interest.
"Lord City Lord, coming uninvited and entering someone else's courtyard without permission, this seems... not good, right?"
Xiao Mo looked at the other person's scarlet eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and questions arose in his heart.
I don't know why the city lord suddenly came to me.
"What's wrong with that?"
He Yeye stood up, skipped to Xiao Mo, stretched out his fingers without hesitation, and patted his abdominal muscles twice.
"I paid for the rent of this courtyard for you. I rented this place with my own money, so why can't I come in and take a look?"
After she finished speaking, she withdrew her hand and took a step back, looking Xiao Mo up and down: "Not bad, your physique is almost catching up with those warriors who specialize in physical training, and..."
Her small nose twitched slightly. "You're still faintly emitting a dragon's aura. Boy, where did you get so much dragon blood to temper your body?"
“…” Xiao Mo did not answer.
"Okay, okay, I'm just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to tell me. After all, everyone has secrets. For example, I don't like my sister. My sister studies divination every day and can calculate everything. I feel like I'm naked in front of her."
He Yeye didn't care. He smiled and sat back on the stone bench, crossed his legs, and shook the bells on his feet.
"By the way, do you have any deep hatred with the demon tribe? For example, did your parents or relatives die at the hands of the demon tribe?"
"No." Xiao Mo answered simply, "Why does the City Lord ask that?"
"Oh?" He Yeye became even more curious and leaned forward slightly. "Then where did you get that desperate energy on the battlefield? From the look of you, you really want to kill all the demons in the world to vent your anger?"
"I just want more merits for the human race." Xiao Mo replied.
"Human race's merits? Okay."
He Yeye yawned and did not continue to ask him what specific use he wanted the human race's merits for. Instead, he changed the subject and spoke in a tone with a hint of warning.
"My boy, the war has already begun. Killing enemies on the battlefield is indeed one of the fastest ways to accumulate merit for the human race. But my boy, as someone who has experienced this, I want to warn you: be careful on the battlefield from now on."
Her scarlet eyes stared at Xiao Mo: "After this battle, you must have made it onto the 'Blue Cloud Ranking' of the demon race. The people on the Blue Cloud Ranking are all geniuses in the world. In the next war, as long as you appear on the battlefield, you will definitely be the focus of their attention."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious. "Don't be too anxious. Being too anxious will only make you die faster. You need to accumulate merits. Your life is more important."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your reminder. I will keep it in mind and pay more attention." Xiao Mo bowed to He Yeye, but seemed not to have heard what He Yeye said.
"You, forget it. I like you and admire your courage and strength." He Yeye waved her hand, "Tell me, what reward do you want? As long as I am willing to give it."
Xiao Mo looked at the city lord in front of him, who had a unique style of doing things. He didn't bother to be polite with her and said directly, "Could you please find a suitable place in the city for me to use as a school?"
"School?" He Yeye was stunned for a moment. This reward was completely beyond her expectations. "Why are you building a school?"
"Building a school means, of course, teaching." Xiao Mo explained calmly, "I heard that preaching in Demon Suppression City requires the permission of the City Lord. I had planned to formally visit the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to report this matter to the City Lord, but since the City Lord is here today, I can save myself the trip."
"Teaching? What kind of teaching?" He Yeye tilted his head. "Those sour, flowery Confucian studies?"
"I guess so, but what I teach is a simple knowledge of my own creation, called the School of Mind." Xiao Mo smiled slightly, "If anyone is willing to listen, I will give a lecture. If no one comes to listen, then forget it."
"Xinxue?" He Yeye was slightly startled at first, then as if he suddenly remembered something, a smile of understanding appeared on his face, "Oh! So you are the Xiao Mo."
"Okay! I promise you."
He Yeye stood up and walked out of the yard.
"Someone will come to see you tomorrow morning, so you should go to class tomorrow.
I will also go and listen to what kind of knowledge the "Xinxue" that once caused chaos in Confucianism is.
If you are interested, you can continue to run this school.
If it’s boring, just close the door.”
