Chapter 113
Regardless of whether Xiaoyu and Yao He really broke off their relationship with Xu Xiaobei, or were just using Xu Xiaobei's account cancellation as a pretext to gain her sympathy, Xia Mo was not stupid enough to believe the one-sided words of these two people.
"Yao He, don't assume that just because we were close in school, our relationship is guaranteed to be good. I think you know better than I do which of us are scheming against each other and exploiting each other."
Yao He's expression paused slightly: "What do you mean? What do you mean I know better than you?!"
Xia Mo snorted coldly, a mocking smile curling his lips. "You, Yao He, you know your family and background very well. Now, in front of Xiaoyu, do you dare to count in detail how many times you have asked Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaobei to help your family? How much money have you borrowed from your family and still not repaid? Do you dare to tell me?"
When he heard the word "money", Yao He's face changed instantly.
Because of several consecutive failed investments, the financial situation of Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaobei's family plummeted, and they fell from a well-off life to the lower middle class.
Xu Xiaobei's parents had a keen eye and seized several opportunities, and their well-off family instantly became wealthy.
Xiaoyu's family got a helping hand because their grandfather had a good relationship with the older generations on Xu Xiaobei's side, and as a result, their family became prosperous later on.
Only Yao He's family failed to seize the opportunity, did not have the right connections, and in the end gained nothing, but instead became worse and worse.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Having seen the above situation, how could the Yao He family accept the fact that their family was rapidly becoming poor?
Especially for Yao He, who is still in adolescence, facing the huge gap between his past and the people around him, he values money, status and face more than anyone else.
Although Yao He tried his best to be subtle, what he didn't know was that he had never escaped Xia Mo's eyes.
Just because Xia Mo didn't say it doesn't mean she didn't know. Now that the most sensitive topic of him and his family was openly placed in front of the public, you don't have to guess how interesting Yao He's face would be at this moment.
"Xia Mo, stop talking. Yao He is our friend. Is there anything wrong with helping a friend when he is in trouble?"
Xiaoyu, who was protected by Yao He, stood up. Although her eyes were still red, she looked like a righteous warrior.
Yao He clenched his fists and remained silent.
Xia Mo glanced at him lightly, then at Xiaoyu, and slowly, in the calmest tone, said the cruelest words: "You don't know the relationship between your father and Yao He's mother, do you?"
W-What?!
Her words were like a thunderclap, catching the unprepared Xiaoyu off guard.
In an instant, all kinds of human emotions appeared on Xiaoyu's face one after another.
From shock, astonishment, and disbelief, to hindsight, awakening from a dream, and the unbearable shame that is hard to conceal...
Xiaoyu's body began to tremble rapidly. She didn't know if it was due to tension, shame, anger, or a combination of all the emotions?
Xia Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaoyu's reaction with interest.
She had known about this a long time ago because during a sudden visit, she accidentally ran into Yao He's mother at Xiaoyu's house. A man and a woman were alone in a room, and both of them were disheveled and had flushed faces. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what had happened.
It’s a pity that the other halves of both families and their own children were kept in the dark.
Originally, she didn't want to mention this matter, and indeed she had never mentioned it before, but now, these two people insisted on threatening her with a righteous attitude, so there was no need for her to hide it.
These words not only made Xiaoyu's face turn pale, but also made Yao He stand there in a daze.
He stared at the person in front of him in disbelief. After a few seconds, as if to save his family's reputation, he suddenly pointed at her in anger and said, "You're talking nonsense! My mom is not that kind of person! Xiaoyu's dad isn't that kind of person either! Xia Mo, I didn't realize you were such a vicious person. To distance yourself from us, you even dared to spread such rumors!"
"We were so tolerant of you before, but Xu Xiaobei was right. You are an ungrateful idiot! We were so blind to be your friend!"
As Yao He spoke, he grabbed Xiaoyu, who was in tears again, and looked at Xia Mo with eyes that hated her so much that he seemed to want to tear her apart.
"Xiaoyu, let's go. We'd rather die than have anything to do with people like this!"
Looking at Yao He's resolute and angry back, Xia Mo curled the corners of his mouth, feeling only mocking.
After her rebirth, she was destined to draw a clear line between herself and these three people, and she always adhered to this heart and moved forward resolutely. After all, the romantic affairs between adults, the jealousy and innocence between children, with so many hidden thoughts surging, their fate was already determined.
But Xia Mo didn't expect that when this day really came, she didn't feel very happy, but instead felt a little depressed?
Yes, you will develop feelings for a dog, not to mention that he has been with Yao He and the others day and night for more than a year.
She sighed, retracting her gaze from the two figures disappearing from the doorway. Then she turned and walked over to the counselor NPC who had been waiting for a long time. She said calmly, "Hello, sorry for the wait. Where should we go next?"
She is a human being, not a machine, and she allows herself to feel uncomfortable.
But after feeling sad, she would tell herself that from now on, from the moment she took her eyes off Yao He and Xiao Yu, she would have nothing to do with them anymore.
As for why they wanted to assassinate her back then, and whether they knew that she would actually die after the assassination attempt was successful, let her investigate these things bit by bit in the days to come.
The onlookers didn't get any melons, and left happily one by one. The hall of the battle pet base returned to its bustling scene.
Xia Mo followed the consultant and walked along the path indicated by the facade glass to the right side of the base.
Various ecological scenes were built inside the glass, such as the tropical rainforest she saw when she entered the hall. After walking through the rainforest, her vision changed and the scenery inside the glass turned into a vast desert.
Seeing that she was a first-time customer, the consultant took the initiative to introduce her: "Ms. Mo Se, what you see are all different battle pet venues designed by our director based on the different habits of battle pets."
"The venue you just passed by is the tropical rainforest area, suitable for combat pets such as lizards, turtles, and frogs. What you see over here is the desert area, where you can place scorpions, sand lizards, snakes, etc. Over there is where your combat pet Jingjing will enter later - the rocky area."
"Come, please go this way, go through this passage, and place your battle pet into the area."
Behind the venue, huge passages extend out, which are used to deploy battle pets.
According to the explanation given by the consultant, each battle pet is unique. Even if the symptoms appear the same, the causes may be very different. Therefore, they must observe the behavior of the battle pets in the venue to find the corresponding problems.
It's quite professional.
Xia Mo felt relieved and put his semen in as he was told.
Because they had looked at the table in advance and knew that her battle pet category was a divine beast with great lethality, the consultant deliberately cleared out the other battle pets in the rocky area before allowing Jingjing and a cat beast to enter.
I originally thought Jingjing would be a little cautious after entering. After all, Xixi's appearance is more feline, and naturally inherited some of the cat's characteristics, such as being afraid of strangers, and liking to hide in corners when entering unfamiliar environments, etc.
But to Xia Mo's surprise, Jingjing suddenly became furious after entering the venue and sniffing the ground!
It pounced on the rocks like an enraged beast, and its sharp claws kept scratching in the grass. After a while, the hill covered with short grass was turned into a bald mountain by it.
Xia Mo: ...
It's just unbearable to watch.
Fortunately, the counselor was accustomed to the behavior of battle pets. Looking at Jingjing's every move in the venue, Xia Mo found that the counselor did not behave impolitely at all. Instead, he was concentrating on recording, which was very professional!
After the behavioral observation, the counselor took Jingjing to the instrument for some tests, and finally the counseling results came out...
"It's probably time for your battle pet to differentiate into different genders. Due to a lack of necessary differentiation guidance and unadjusted diet, it has begun to frequently go berserk."
"Battle pets undergoing differentiation are particularly sensitive to the scents of other creatures. If they are not familiar with the scent, they will be easily irritated."
Gender differentiation...
Only then did Xia Mo realize that although Jingjing was very big, he was actually just a baby of a few months old.
No wonder it was so resistant to Xiaoyi, it turned out that it was irritated by the smell.
It's her fault. She really has no experience in raising young divine beasts.
After listening to the advice and realizing that her feeding method was wrong, Xia Mo immediately pestered the consultant and asked many questions carefully. Finally, she took the consultant's revised diet structure table, differentiation guidance instructions, and medicine to suppress the runaway disease when necessary, took Jingjing, and left satisfied.
Because she needed to adjust her diet, the high-quality rations Yun Yao prepared for her could not be used for the time being. Xia Mo had to tell the other party in advance to avoid causing Yun Yao to think too much.
Who knew that after she explained the reason, Yun Yao immediately patted her chest and said, "This is not difficult. I will replenish Jing Jing with whatever he needs!"
Xia Mo: [The ingredient list is quite complicated...]
Yun Yao: It's okay! Didn't I choose to be a chef just for Jingjing's meals? Don't worry, Sister Mo Se, I'll take care of Jingjing's meals!
Seeing that Yun Yao didn't mind the trouble at all, Xia Mo had no choice but to stop persuading her and sent her the ingredient list. Then he bought a box of red, blue and purple medicines at the pharmacy, and then hurried back to Blade's Edge Fjord.
On the steep iceberg, the cold north wind was blowing. Xia Mo raised her hand to block the cold wind. Through her fingers, she vaguely saw an NPC appear with a crutch.
"Ready young man?"
The NPC was an old woman wearing a tattered cloak. Looking at the various green totems carved on her face, Xia Mo suddenly remembered that the official information mentioned that there once lived a mysterious wizard tribe in Blade's Edge Fjord, famous for divination.
It’s a pity that their clan leaked too many secrets to successive kings, suffered backlash, and finally declined rapidly until their trace could no longer be found.
Until Xia Mo had a mission in hand, the wizard who had disappeared in the fjord for many years walked out of the iceberg again and stood in front of her.
"I am ready, Master Wizard."
The scene before her eyes changed, and the witch who was in charge of the transmission disappeared. A blizzard suddenly blew up at this moment. Xia Mo clenched her weapon and squinted her eyes. She had a precise sense of danger and felt something approaching from behind her...
