"It has to be you."
Luo Jiujiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "Then let's fill it in. If such a day really comes, I have already made up my mind and will not retreat at all. It is better to use me than to use someone else."
"……that's all?"
"What else can I do?" Despite being asked such a stern and cruel question, Luo Jiujiang managed to smile. He brushed off his robes and said calmly, "Master, I'm already a grown-up. I can't just throw a tantrum or hang myself again. That's just because I'm unwilling to die, not because I know what life is."
Zhen Shuangliu twitched the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "How old are you? Do you know what life is?"
"Perhaps my thoughts are nothing to a wise man." Luo Jiujiang didn't refute. "I just like the flowers and trees in spring, the lake in summer, the sea in autumn, and the nights in winter. I also like Qianling's long-term forbearance for the stability of the Seven Islands, I like Sister Xue and Brother Xie's persistence and outburst in the face of adversity, and I also like the smiles given to me by every stranger I will meet in the academy... Maybe this is life."
Zhen Shuangliu's tone became increasingly tense: "So... is this what you think? Even if I really sacrifice you..."
Having said this, Zhen Shuangliu's voice had become hoarse and he seemed unable to continue.
"Not entirely?" Luo Jiujiang rubbed the tip of his nose. "Actually, I haven't finished what I said just now. Don't you still have to discuss it before using me to fill the hole? You can't just believe everything others say and do whatever they ask you to do. That would be so stupid, right? At least I have to struggle before the last step, even if it's just to pull a thread and try to sew up the hole. Eh? Master, you hit me again? No, no, no, I'm not unhappy. It's been a long time since we last met. Master, you're getting stronger and stronger. I'm very happy - ah, it hurts, it hurts, Master, at least tell me why I'm being beaten?"
"..." Zhen Shuangliu said gloomily, "Do you need a reason to beat a child on a rainy day?"
——————
I don’t know if it’s due to the influence of the academy competition, but Luo Jiujiang just feels that more and more people are throwing flowers at him recently, regardless of gender.
You Su's analysis turned out to be correct. He suddenly emerged in Qinglong Academy and became famous in just one month. After he defeated the leader of Zhanfeng, Qiu Shi, without any harm in the first match of the daily competition, Luo Jiujiang became the most famous student among all the students.
Even though he hasn't even joined the academy yet, he's just a casual cultivator hanging out here.
That day, Luo Jiujiang went up Yao Peak to see the little girl he and Yin Bansi had brought back from the mortal world. After a period of care, the girl had grown into a pretty little girl. In the mortal world, she had been dark, thin, and plain, but now she had grown fairer and plumper. Her appearance was innocent and lovely, but her face was deliberately stern, pretending to be mature.
It had been six or seven days since Luo Jiujiang came back to see her. The girl was stunned when she saw him, and then she said incoherently: "Four, four..."
She'd spent years on earth without anyone to talk to. When she first arrived at Yao Peak, she was taciturn, not uttering a single syllable all day. After adapting, she became much better, though she still stumbled when she spoke. Luo Jiujiang smiled and squatted down, patiently asking, "What's the number four?"
The girl frowned and thought hard for a long time before she remembered: "Fourth Aunt from the Academy!"
"..." Luo Jiujiang blinked, realizing that this was a phrase that often appeared in his ears recently, "The Four Scholars of the Academy?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded vigorously and counted on her fingers to show Luo Jiujiang: "Mr. Oil, Mr. Pig... and..."
As if she was afraid that Luo Jiujiang wouldn't understand, she lifted her nose and hummed twice in a very formal manner.
Luo Jiujiang: "Puff."
At that moment, the female disciple who had been taking care of the girl walked into the pavilion and laughed out loud upon hearing this. She gave the girl, who turned to ask for a hug, a piece of candy, untied her twisted braid, and tied it up again. She smiled apologetically at Luo Jiujiang, "Junior Brother Luo, I'm sorry for making fun of you."
"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Jiujiang waved his hand. "Children speak without restraint, and it sounds like I know those two Yis."
The female disciple was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Junior Brother Luo, don't you know who Si Yi is?"
"If the little girl hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known."
Seeing that he truly didn't know, the female disciple smiled and explained, "The so-called Four Eminent Men are four recognized as such by the students of our academy. It's only been recently that they were chosen. These four are Mr. Gongyi, Mr. You, our Yinfeng Master—also known as the 'Medicine' King—and..."
"besides?"
The female disciple smiled and said, "And you, Junior Brother Luo."
Luo Jiujiang asked with interest, "My nickname is 'Junior Brother'?"
"No." The female disciple smiled playfully, and when he was not prepared, she cast a spell towards the flower tree behind Luo Jiujiang, and immediately the pear blossoms fell like rain, floating all over Luo Jiujiang: "We have a custom. When I see you, I will give you flowers... After all, you are the only Luo Lang."
