Chapter 778 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 22
Three days after signing the IOU, Yu Xunge had already made up for himself.
Zhu Ri is right. Once she graduates, she can solve the problem by taking on more apprentices.
Most importantly, she'll only live to be around a hundred years old at most, and she might even have to take care of herself in her old age and see her off when she dies!
Thinking about it this way, Yu Xunge was secretly delighted!
Moreover, since it was confirmed that she could go to school, he would occasionally bring her some school supplies home every day.
Ignoring the other party's actions of keeping accounts, Yu Xunge carefully tidied up the clothes and weapons one by one.
He watched her busy herself day after day, then suddenly asked, "Do you still hate me?"
Yu Xunge, as if pricked by a needle, emphasized loudly, "Super!"
She glanced at the area of the red star field within that star; it hadn't decreased, but the color was no longer pure. She said lazily, "That's good. I can arrange the courses for this year's Winter Veil Festival with peace of mind."
Yu Xunge was still being stubborn, saying things like she wasn't afraid of being arranged however she wanted, and that her recent days had been so comfortable that she found it hard to adjust.
Zhu Ri rubbed his ears, impatient to listen any longer, and was about to leave when he noticed the notes spread out on the table.
I immediately noticed the poor quality of the writing.
It contains all the knowledge the cub learned in the garbage street.
The Art of Lying, How to Build a Memory Palace, Counter-Investigation and Divination, How to Create an Alibi, The Fatal Flaws Easily Overlooked, How to Detect Potential Crises, How to Eliminate Potential Threats in Advance, Friend or Enemy?, What is True Caution?, What Are We Thinking When We're Preparing to Run Away?...
day by day:……
Are those classes like that?!
She waved the notebook in her hand and asked her apprentice, "Do you still need to rely on written words to remember this knowledge?"
Yu Xunge, who was maintaining the dagger, looked up and said, "No, I've memorized it all. I just thought this knowledge was very useful and wanted to review and study it from time to time, so I wrote it down. I didn't write down the teachers' names or any information that could reveal my identity."
Zhu Ri tossed the notebook over and ordered, "Destroy it! Its very existence is the biggest loophole. Who keeps a notebook when they're doing something bad?!"
Yu Xunge hugged the notebook with a heavy heart, kissed it several times, and then, under Zhu Ri's watchful gaze, flames shot from her fingers and set the notebook ablaze.
Zhu Ri snorted and left the cub's room.
In the last week of May, the elf added another lesson for her apprentice, leaving an extremely vulnerable shadow in her home. Every day after returning home, the apprentice had to fight this shadow.
Yu Xunge needs to hit the shadow at least three times without dispersing it.
But this shadowy figure was really tricky. Its strength completely overwhelmed Yu Xunge. If she wanted to defeat the shadowy figure, she would have to use all her strength. But once she used all her strength, the shadowy figure would dissipate as soon as she hit it.
The shadowy figure's defense has a critical point; Yu Xunge must hold back his attacks to defeat it without scattering it.
Zhu Ri said that if the shadow could be dispersed during practice time for three consecutive days, one tutoring session at Garbage Street would be canceled.
This was Yu Xunge's Achilles' heel; her most anticipated activity every day was going to the garbage street to attend classes and listen to stories.
In short, this class annoyed Yu Xunge so much that she would rather go to the arena again.
Zhu Ri explained that she had to take this class if she didn't want to be expelled from school for accidentally killing a classmate after arriving at Moonlight Wetlands.
These stable days, so peaceful that calling them "happy" wouldn't be an exaggeration, continued until the second week of June.
After a brief departure, Zhu Ri brought back a guy that Yu Xunge was familiar with—Mist Blade.
Yu Xun was carrying takeout she had prepared for Zhu Ri. When she saw her good friend, her eyes lit up, and she flew straight over: "Mist Blade! You're here?!"
But Yu Xunge, who had recently learned to read people's expressions and judge their true emotions at the Thief Insect Tavern, sensed something was wrong as soon as she got close. Wu Ren's smile was too forced, and there was sadness, grievance and a trace of anger in his eyes.
She looked at Zhu Ri, who was sitting to the side and had already started looking for late-night snacks. He had already started to focus on eating. The barbecue that the little one brought back today was from her favorite restaurant.
Every day, he only said one sentence, "She lived here before school started," and then ignored the apprentice.
Unable to get an answer from the adults, Yu Xunge turned to her best friend, determined to get one.
She noticed that her best friend had been secretly glancing at the barbecue several times. Yu Xunge pulled out several storage boxes from under the coffee table, which were full of snacks and drinks. She sat cross-legged on the floor and pulled Wu Ren off the sofa as well: "Eat up. This is all you can eat. I can't take food from Zhu Ri's mouth. If you want to eat, I'll take you to a restaurant tomorrow."
Fogblade felt that his companions had become a bit more assertive.
However, this assertiveness did not offend Little Moon Fox. She was really hungry. Following Yu Xunge's lead, she sat down and picked out the snack that interested her the most and started eating.
While she was eating, Yu Xunge stared at her with wide eyes: "Did you come early to prepare for school? Registration doesn't start until July 10th, we still have half a month. Have you brought enough things for school?"
Fogblade didn't hide anything. She took a sip of juice and said, "My family took all the tuition fees I had saved up."
Perhaps she had already cried enough on the way, because when she talked about it, her eyes only reddened slightly, but she didn't cry, and her voice was very calm.
Yu Xunge recalled Zhu Ri's previous assessment of the Fog Blade family—"trash."
She pondered for a few seconds and said, "Zhu Ri will lend me some gold coins for tuition and living expenses. I can lend you my living expenses to pay for the first semester's tuition, if you don't mind me charging some interest."
Zhu Ri, who was eating kebabs nearby, let out a cryptic laugh through his nose.
Yu Xunge pretended not to hear and pinched a gap between two fingers: "Of course, I'll only charge a tiny bit. You'll definitely be able to pay it off within 35 years of graduation."
Zhu Ri: ...You might as well just shout my name out loud.
Yu Xunge then talked about the follow-up: "We might have to work together to earn money after school starts."
"Once we get to school, we can find a way to get the certificates, and then we can sell potions together. There are plenty of ways, so don't worry."
She didn't condemn Mistblade's family, didn't share Mistblade's sadness, and didn't pity herself. She was devoid of any emotional value throughout, but she quickly offered a solution.
This almost indifferent calmness reassured Wu Ren; it was exactly what she needed. She smiled gratefully at Yu Xun Ge: "No need, I've already borrowed money from Zhu Ri."
Yu Xunge: !!!
She stood up in surprise, a move that startled Fogblade.
The former asked in alarm, "Did she mention interest to you?"
Mistblade looked a little dazed, then nodded: "I told you."
Yu Xunge asked in a trembling voice, "Did you carefully look at the interest rate on the bill?"
Mentioning this, Mistblade looked at Sunrise with gratitude again: "I took a look, and Sunrise said that the tuition and living expenses she provided for you were also at the same interest rate."
Yu Xunge stomped her foot in anger: "Are you stupid?! What's so great about the interest rate being the same as mine?!"
Seeing his best friend's regretful expression that seemed to say, "Your life is over," Mistblade explained, "It's only right. I'm very grateful to Lord Sun Chaser."
Yu Xunge glanced at Wu Ren with a mixture of disappointment and pity, but soon, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile—the joy of finding a companion at the bottom of a deep pit after falling in herself.
She plopped back down next to Mistblade, affectionately put her arm around her shoulder, patted it twice, chuckled, and patted it twice more.
Mist Blade: ?
Yu Xunge: "We can pay off our debts together from now on."
Every day, laughter erupted again.
Yu Xunge took a deep breath and snapped angrily.
Come on! Can't this elf be a little quieter while eating?!
