Chapter 86 Source
"Uh... Σ(°△°|||)︴"
Bai Mo's face froze. He glanced at the girl who was watching Feng Ling's performance of spinning in circles. Seeing that she looked normal, he blinked, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively:
"You should have seen the last time our souls met."
"What did you see?" Ding Yumian raised her eyes, her dress unaware, and stared at him silently, carefully appreciating the man's expression.
"Well..., it only has three sisters." Bai Mo's eyes were wandering, and finally he looked directly into Ding Yumian's eyes. He felt that he had the final say, and he would know sooner or later anyway.
After that, he added: "You you are the eldest sister!"
"Not yet."
Bai Mo looked at her in astonishment, "Huh?! You're not angry? And, what else is it?"
"I'm angry, but being angry all the time is useless. I thought a lot, and finally I had to admit that the person I like is not loyal. But being angry doesn't seem to change your heart, so I won't be angry all the time. However, I found a way to solve the problem." Ding Yumian continued to observe his expression, a smile appeared on his face, and his tone was faint and dangerous.
"No more, or I will turn you into a fool first, then record your foolish look and make it a popular short video that you like to watch, and then turn you back. Don't you like watching fun the most?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Bai Mo nodded quickly, and then observed her carefully, his face hesitant, "Are you really not angry?"
"what you think?"
Looking at her peaceful face, those eyes as clear and bright as autumn water were as calm as ever, but with a little more resentment that belonged to autumn.
Bai Mo didn't say anything, he stretched out his hand and hugged her. Ding Yumian's body stiffened slightly, pursed her lips, and then relaxed and leaned on him.
Smelling the fragrance of the girl's silky black hair that fell like a waterfall, Bai Mo was silent for a few seconds and then said, "I'm sorry."
"You should be sorry, but that's not what I want to hear."
"I like you." Bai Mo said without hesitation.
"What do you like about me?" Ding Yumian raised her head and looked at the man's face closely. The face was very pleasing to the eye. She had wanted to do this for a long time.
Bai Mo thought about this question blankly. What did he like about Ding Yumian? He didn't know how to answer this question. At first, he was probably just amazed by her appearance and sympathized with her life experience. Later, as they got to know each other, they had real contact and gradually understood each other, and then he had her mark in his heart.
But if he really said it bit by bit, Bai Mo felt it was too corny. He moved his lips but couldn't open his mouth.
Ding Yumian saw all his reactions clearly, and combined with his mental fluctuations, although this person did not say it, she already knew the answer.
"Let's take a walk around the school." Ding Yumian broke free from Bai Mo's arms and spoke calmly and naturally.
"Okay." Bai Mo nodded and asked for something to talk about, "Aren't you not interested in visiting the school?"
“Now I’m a little interested.”
"Oh." Scratching his head, Bai Mo didn't understand. He pulled her and walked in a random direction. It was past lunch time, and there were already many students taking a walk on the school trail, and there were even more near Yue Lake.
"There are a lot of people here." Bai Mo said.
“More people means more.”
"Why?" Bai Mo didn't get an answer, but when he saw the boys and girls around them looking at them from time to time, he got the answer.
In this time when summer has not yet gone and autumn has just arrived, the evening glow is the most eye-catching, pink and red, from one end of the sky to the other.
It's a pity that Moon Lake is not big, otherwise the sky and water would be extremely beautiful. On the forest road, Bai Mo said, "Have you found any news about the spiritual totem?"
"No, I asked an old professor who knows a lot about totems, but he knows very little about psychic totems. However, he mentioned a totem that clearly has psychic power."
Ding Yumian sat on the lawn next to Bai Mo, looking through the sparse woods at the lake in the distance that was splashed with a lot of sunset glow, and at the people sitting by the lake watching the scenery, and answered in a leisurely tone.
"What totem?"
"Bai Ze, according to legend, Bai Ze can speak, understand ghosts and gods, and know everything. His spiritual power is extremely strong. But there is no record of his whereabouts."
"Well, I also know an old man, I'll ask him later."
"good."
After sending Ding Yumian back to the dormitory, Bai Mo was also planning to go back to the dormitory, but he received a call from the head of the Bai family, asking him to go home and not to tell anyone no matter what.
In the Pearl Mage Tower, a man with a square face and majestic temperament was looking at a report in his hand.
This is an investigation report on the missing persons in Shanghai in the past year.
In this world full of monsters, the disappearance of people is not uncommon, but the number of missing persons has been increasing every year in Demon City, and even in the southern cities in recent years.
Wen Jianhua actually knew how part of the population disappeared, but many times he couldn't make the decision to investigate thoroughly.
As the Grand Councillor of the Pearl Mage Tower, his main focus is on the coastline strategy of Grand Councillor Shao Zheng. He also has to divide his energy to deal with the conspiracies and plots of some people who are just sitting there doing nothing, so he has no energy to care about them.
“Da da da!!”
Anxiously approaching footsteps, the Secretary General handed over an application. Seeing him looking at her, her voice was somewhat tense and hurried.
"Member of the Council, Dean Xiao of Mingzhu Academy and Jiang Juntong of Jiufeng Mountain have sent an application document requesting a meeting of the Councillors. They found out that Councillor Zhuang abused his power for personal gain, damaged the interests of Jiuzhou, and colluded with demons. They demand a thorough investigation of Councillor Zhuang!"
Wen Jianhua's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he calmly opened the document submitted with the application and started to check it.
Bai Mo returned to the Bai family and found the head of the Bai family in the study. He asked directly:
"What is it?"
"What did you do in Jiufeng Mountain?" Playing with a token in his hand, Bai Yuanzhi's expression changed from usual calmness to a bit of doubt, and he asked instead of answering.
"What's wrong?" Bai Mo was a little confused. He only completed a few tasks and didn't do anything big.
"Jiufeng Mountain has sent you a spot to compete for a source of springs. This is for you." Patriarch Bai pointed at the token in his hand. "Generally, elemental condensation veins will have springs of the same properties, but these springs are usually non-renewable."
Bai Mo knew the source. It was a natural treasure that could baptize high-level perfect mages and help them break through to the super-level. It had the same use as the Star Sea Sky Vein.
However, most of the sources have attribute restrictions, and using the source to break through will help the mage comprehend the transcendental power.
Springs are generally divided into renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable ones can usually only be used once or twice, while renewable ones take a long time to be used again.
Therefore, no matter which one it is, it is very precious. For example, the Bai family has always held two quotas for renewable sources, so they can always have super-class magicians.
But the fixed quota of the Bai family obviously cannot meet the needs of the mages who want to be promoted in the family. Now there is an additional qualification to compete for the source quota. Regardless of whether this source is renewable or not, as long as you get the quota, it means that the Bai family can have one more super-class mage.
In an instant, Bai Mo knew why the head of the Bai family wanted to talk to him about this. The qualification to compete for this spot was specifically given to him, so it could not be allocated by the head of the family.
