Chapter 133 He must write it out, otherwise he will be buried with me (asking for monthly tickets)
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.
In the twenty years since coming to the Demon-Suppressing City, Xiao Mo has become a cultivator at the Jade Realm.
In the past twenty years, Xiao Mo has no memory of how many monsters he has killed.
Xiao Mo only knew that the black ice in the amber hanging around his waist had melted halfway.
During these twenty years, Xiao Mo's students came and went in waves.
Two of Xiao Mo's three most proud disciples - Li Man and Zeng Songshi - temporarily left the Demon-Suppressing City and went to Wanfa Tianxia for training.
Xiao Mo was very happy that they made this choice. In addition to reading thousands of books, they also needed to travel thousands of miles and communicate more with different Confucian scholars.
He wrote a letter to the two of them, telling them to take the letter to Bailu Academy.
But Xu Yuerou did not leave Xiao Mo.
Not only did Xu Yuerou not leave, but she also became Xiao Mo's assistant.
Xiao Mo didn't think much about it. It was good to have someone to help him. Because when Xiao Mo was too busy writing books, he could ask Yue Rou to help him teach the children.
All I have to do is pay Yue Rou a salary.
Over time, Xu Yuerou was also called "Mr. Xu" by the people of Zhenyao City.
After her elder sister got married, Xu Yuerou bought a yard and lived next door to Xiao Mo, taking care of her husband's daily life so that he could concentrate more on writing.
Xiao Mo refused several times, saying it was not a good idea.
But Xu Yuerou was very persistent and Xiao Mo had no choice.
The "Combined Interpretation of Knowledge and Action" that Xiao Mo is going to write has also reached the final stage, which is also the most difficult part.
Many times, Xiao Mo would sit in the yard in a daze for several days.
On this day, when Xiao Mo was painting in the yard, Xu Yuerou walked in with a box of pastries.
"Sir, please have some cakes. I just made them and added some laurel flowers to them. They will help relax your mind."
Xu Yuerou placed the pastries next to Xiao Mo and poured him tea.
"Thank you Yuerou." Xiao Mo nodded, and without being polite to her, he picked up a flower cake and took a bite.
Xu Yuerou looked at a painting on the shelf next to her and asked in surprise, "Did you draw this, sir?"
"Yeah." Xiao Mo smiled. "I really don't know how to start writing the last part of 'The Interpretation of Knowledge and Action', so I just put it aside for a few days. I've been free these days, so I tried to draw something. But I haven't drawn in so long that my skills are rusty. If my senior sister saw it, she would probably scold me."
"No." Xu Yuerou shook her head. "Sir, this painting is very beautiful!"
Xu Yuerou looked at the woman in the painting.
This is an ink painting. The woman in the painting is wearing a long skirt with her sleeves rolled up, and is hanging clothes to dry in the courtyard.
Although the painter only drew the woman's profile, Xu Yuerou could still imagine the woman's complete and stunning appearance.
There is a hint of innocence in the woman's charming peach blossom eyes.
Although she was drying clothes, Xu Yuerou could feel that the woman's eyes were full of the person she liked.
"Sir, who are you painting?" Xu Yuerou asked curiously.
"This is my wife." Xiao Mo said with a smile.
"Eh?" Xu Yuerou was startled. "Sir, you have a wife?"
"Yeah." Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, looking at her in the painting, "She is waiting for me to go back, but I can't go back now."
"Sir, your wife must be a very gentle person, right?" Xu Yuerou asked.
"Yes, she is very gentle, but in front of me, she always acts like a little girl, silly and never seems to grow up."
"That must be because she loves you very much, sir." Xu Yuerou said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Sir, when a woman loves someone wholeheartedly, no matter how smart she is, she will be reluctant to grow up." Xu Yuerou explained.
"Hehehe, you've never loved anyone, yet you understand these things." Xiao Mo joked.
"Sir, I am also a woman," Xu Yuerou complained.
"Hahaha, okay." Xiao Mo put down his brush. "By the way, the city lord has introduced you to quite a few young men, and I think some of them are quite good. Don't you have any that you like?"
"No." Xu Yuerou poured Xiao Mo a cup of tea, "There's nothing I like."
"Then what kind do you like?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.
"I like it," Xu Yuerou was about to say, but her eyes blinked, "someone as elegant, good-looking, and knowledgeable as you."
"That's probably quite difficult." Xiao Mo boasted.
Xu Yuerou's eyes curved: "It's better to be like you, sir. Sometimes you are thin-skinned, sometimes you are thick-skinned."
"Ahem," Xiao Mo coughed a few times and knocked her head. "How dare you tease me, sir? Go away, go to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Why go to the City Lord's Mansion?" Xu Yuerou asked puzzledly.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "The city lord said that she is in need of a clerk to handle official business, and I recommended you."
"But sir, if I leave, who will take care of your daily life?" Xu Yuerou asked worriedly.
"No need." Xiao Mo said with a smile, "After you leave, I will also go into seclusion. I have been writing the Zhixing Hequan for so many years, and it is time for me to finish it."
"Retreat."
In the City Lord's Mansion of Zhenyao City, He Yeye couldn't help but smile when he heard what Xu Yuerou said.
"This guy didn't retreat earlier or later, but chose this time."
"What does the City Lord mean?" Xu Yuerou was puzzled.
He Yeye sat on the table and threw an urgent report to Xu Yuerou: "Take a look."
Xu Yuerou took the letter, opened it and her eyes trembled.
He Yeye jumped off the table, walked to the window and looked towards the Great Wall.
"In the twenty years since the Human-Demon War began, although the demons have been charging forward every day, they haven't given it their all. This is because they're worried that some demon kings and emperors in the demon world will take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
But now, the demon clan has dealt with everything in the world.
According to the letter from our spies planted in the demon world.
In half a year at most, they will launch a general offensive from the Great Wall, Dragon Emperor Island, and Jiange.
Whether we can hold on or not depends on this time."
"I'll go and inform the gentleman." Xu Yuerou said anxiously.
"Are you trying to ruin his avenue?"
He Yeye gave Xu Yuerou a blank look.
"Since he chose to go into seclusion, he must have chosen to finish the book in one breath. If you disturb him now, his breath will be lost, and he will probably never finish the book."
“And he has to write it.”
He Yeye's eyes dimmed.
“If he can’t get out of this road.
He might be buried with this demon-suppressing city and me."
