Disciples of the Demon God Temple are enrolled in a six-year term.
Over the course of six years, the Demon God Temple provided its disciples with cultivation instruction and resources; in return, the disciples completed one task after another issued by the Demon God Temple, which served both as training and as a way to "generate revenue" for the temple.
After six years, the disciples officially "graduate".
At this point, the disciple can choose to leave or stay.
Leaving means taking the 'Demon Temple degree' with you and venturing out on your own;
Those who stayed were 'directly recruited' by the Demon God Temple as 'staff members'.
Most disciples would choose the latter – after all, the Demon God Palace is a super-powerful force, and even a servant within the palace would be respected by others.
Outstanding and talented disciples can start directly as consuls or stewards in the main hall;
Those disciples who were not particularly talented would be assigned to branch halls as leaders or stewards.
Mo Xie's group of disciples are now the most senior senior brothers and sisters in the hall.
These past few days have been the time for them to 'graduate'.
All five of them, including Mo Xie, had their own 'missions', so they all chose to leave. Of course, Mo Xie, as the son of a god, was permanently bound to the Demon God Temple, becoming a 'symbol' of extremely high status.
Over this period of time,
The disciples who remained in their posts have taken up their posts one after another, while the disciples who left bid farewell and left with their bags.
today,
Mo Xie and her five companions are about to be scattered to the ends of the earth.
Inside the Wangya Pavilion.
"Today may be the last time the five of us gather here..."
Mo Xie sighed, "I don't know when we'll meet again."
Having been a college student in his previous life, he now felt a slight sense of melancholy, as if he were graduating.
Only after graduating from the Demon God Temple did they truly embark on the brutal path of cultivation.
At that time,
Everyone will walk their own unique path.
This is a lonely, perilous, and uncertain road...
For example,
Old Zhang, the consul of the servants' quarters, once sighed and told Mo Xie:
After graduating that year, he chose to stay at the Demon God Temple, and slowly climbed up from a branch temple steward to his current position as the head temple steward.
One of his fellow disciples, who was also his close friend and quite skilled, chose to venture out into the world.
The two had been corresponding for many years.
Until ten years ago... he completely lost contact with that old friend.
Whether he lives or dies, he has no idea;
He may have family members, but he has no way of knowing.
That old friend seemed to have never existed in this world, completely vanishing without a trace... let alone any chance of meeting again.
When Mo Xie heard this, she didn't feel anything particularly profound.
Thinking of this now, I can't help but have many thoughts.
Cultivation is a long and lonely journey, nothing more!
There's a children's rhyme in the Tianxuan world: "Cultivation is a lonely path; without achieving the Great Dao, one becomes nothing but withered bones." This is exactly the point.
Goodbye?
Let alone a fantasy world like this where "a parting can mean the difference between life and death,"
Even on Earth in our past lives, it was incredibly difficult for classmates to meet again after graduation and entering society.
"You're overthinking it..."
Mo Xie shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Such sentimentality... I really am a terrible villain...
Upon hearing Moye's words,
Ji Meiling, Sima Tian, Gui Ying, and Ao Fang all remained silent.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber.
What happened?
With a long laugh, Xiao Yi Kuang landed on top of the pavilion. "Heh heh, a few naive youngsters, getting all sentimental now?"
He looked at the group with a smile, finding the scene quite amusing.
In the eyes of this old Taoist priest who had wandered the world...
This scenario is similar to...
"Waaaaah, we're about to part ways, brothers, how about we have some baijiu today?"
"Okay, okay, I'm going to drink two bottles of Nutritional Express today!"
"Enough said, it's all in the drink, I'm downing it first!"
...
The so-called deep affection is actually all about creating the right atmosphere.
When the atmosphere was broken, all that remained was a bit awkward...
Mo Xie chuckled and said, "Haha, since Brother Xiao is here, let's begin!"
He snapped his fingers at Ji Meiling, "Woman, prepare the banquet!"
Unlike before,
At this moment, Ji Meiling was not angry at all; on the contrary, she felt a little shy and happy.
A seductive glint flashed in her eyes, and she bowed like a maid, saying, "This servant understands~"
"Let's eat! Let's eat..."
Ao Fang was about to casually sit down at the table.
But Sima Tian and his companion dragged him away—this fool, does he really want his sister-in-law to serve him?
Everything is ready.
The banquet begins.
Splash~
The clear, fine wine fell into the luminous glass.
Mo Xie raised her glass, "Come, let me toast Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Yikuang picked up his wine gourd, lowered his head, and drank heartily. "Good!"
Amidst the clinking of glasses, beautiful women poured wine, and the delicious food was enjoyed to the fullest – what a delightful experience!
The scene is just as it was before, but the feelings have changed, and the person has weathered many storms.
After the meal, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.
The setting sun shone brightly, blood red on the horizon, struggling to radiate its last rays.
"Since you have all chosen to leave, it will indeed be difficult to meet again... It is a great blessing to have one or two old friends."
Xiao Yikuang let out a hiccup, picked up his wine gourd, and said with a slight sigh, "Say what you want to say, I won't bother you any longer."
He waved his robe, "A small token of my appreciation as we part."
Several items ended up in the hands of several people.
Judging from their appearance, they are clearly not ordinary.
"Thank you very much, Brother Xiao (Third Elder)!"
