Chapter 202: Spiritless Guardian

During the past two days, Ji Ruo helped rebuild the village during the day, and transformed himself into an armored warrior at night to kill monsters around the village, and also helped search for the three missing villagers.

Unfortunately, the search yielded no results.

Even though Ji Ruo used his [Absolute Direction Sense] to search, he still couldn't find the bodies of the three missing villagers - the direction sense correction rate was still too low.

After the reconstruction work was completed, Ji Ruo returned to the classroom and served as a substitute teacher.

"Teacher Ji, have you seen Master Gu?"

Niu Li found Ji Ruo with a haggard face and asked.

He has asked similar questions countless times in the past two days.

Among the three missing villagers, one was Niu Li's father.

"no……"

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ji."

…

Looking at Niu Li's disappointed back, Liang Shixian couldn't help but ask, "Ji Ruo, where did Gu Shaoxuan go? He left before the beast tide appeared that day, and he hasn't come back until now. Is it possible that..."

"I don't think so." Ji Ruo said, "He has the strength of Xingxuan Realm and has cultivated some kind of martial arts skills. Ordinary demons are no match for him. If he doesn't come back... he must have left, right?"

Normally speaking, the highest level of martial arts is perfection, and beyond perfection it can be called martial arts supernatural powers.

"Gone?"

Ji Ruo said, "I heard from Brother Hu that the guy has no fixed place to stay and has been wandering around the border, promoting his funeral business, and is not well received.

We stopped at Babaozhai only because it happened to be under lockdown, otherwise we would have left long ago."

In fact, Ji Ruo was not sure whether Gu Shaoxuan had left.

Before the beast tide occurred, Gu Shaoxuan had asked Ji Ruo to meet him at the reservoir, as if he had something important to tell Ji Ruo.

However, because of Gu Shaoxuan's attitude towards Liang Shixian at that time, Ji Ruo did not intend to keep the appointment at first. Later, a beast tide occurred, and Ji Ruo and others had been busy for the past two days.

So Ji Ruo forgot about the agreement.

Thinking back, it was because Niu Li kept asking him if he knew where Gu Shaoxuan was.

Yesterday Ji Ruo also took some time to go to the reservoir, but Gu Shaoxuan was no longer there.

"This……"

Liang Shixian sighed.

Xu Dong said: "That person has a bad temper. He didn't come out to help when the beast tide appeared."

Liang Shixian sighed and said, "Don't say that. He is not a resident warrior. He just happened to pass by. He has no obligation to help."

"But this is also..."

"Forget it." Ji Ruo said, "It's his business to do whatever he wants. Let's continue with the class. I'll teach this class."

One red flower can be exchanged for two red scarves. During this period of time, he has almost used up all the red flowers in Babaozhai.

As a teacher, he wanted to do something for the children.

…

Ji Ruo walked into the classroom.

The children were comforting Niu Li in a low voice.

When Erya saw Ji Ruo coming in, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Teacher Ji, does the world after death really exist?"

Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment.

Subjectively speaking, Ji Ruo believes that souls do not exist, but in fact - whether it is the special effects of the red scarf or the white cat that has a different mind from Rosie, they all seem to tell Ji Ruo that souls do exist in this world.

This is also the reason why he exchanged red scarves for the children.

“Of course.”

Ji Ruo smiled and said, "After death, people can go to heaven, where there are all kinds of beautiful things, and souls can live carefree lives there."

"Teacher, can I go to heaven?"

Niu Li suddenly asked: "I want to see my father!"

Ji Ruo was silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I can't."

"Why?"

"Only good people can go to heaven. Bad people will go to hell and be punished. Student Niu Li, are you a good boy?"

"Of course!"

"Then live well, try not to disappoint your father, be a good child, and don't let your father worry."

"Okay!" Niu Li agreed seriously, and then asked, "Teacher, how long do I have to be a good child before I can go to heaven?"

Ji Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "It will take a long time. And if you keep thinking this way, you will never be able to go to heaven."

"Why?"

"Because this is the condition for going to heaven."

Ji Ruo rubbed Niu Li's head and said, "If you really miss your father, write him a letter, tell him that you miss him, and tell him that you will try to be a good child."

"Write a letter? Can Dad see it?"

"Of course, I promise you."

Ji Ruo said, and then said to the children in the class: "Do you have anything you want to say to your loved ones? If you have any, please write it down. Write down what you want to say and send the letter."

The title of [Diplomatic Spokesperson] continues to take effect, and the appeal of his language increases, making Ji Ruo's voice sound inexplicable, which makes people trust him subconsciously.

Niu Li was in a daze, and the other children were a little confused. Only Erya started writing directly after a brief thought.

Erya is a girl who matures more precociously than boys of the same age. Although she doesn't know many words, she can still write a few.

After a while, Erya finished writing the letter and asked Ji Ruo, "Teacher Ji, where should I send this letter? To heaven?"

"Have you finished writing it?" Ji Ruo's palm ignited with flames and said, "If you have finished writing it, burn it."

Erya was stunned for a moment: "Don't you need to send it out?"

Ji Ruo smiled and said, "If the recipient's address is heaven, the postman will be very troubled."

Erya burned the letter without quite understanding what was going on.

He solemnly tied red scarves on the children.

Except for Niu Li, a golden figure would flash behind every child after they put on the red scarf.

Behind Erya, the elderly grandmother nodded and smiled kindly at Ji Ruo.

But behind Niu Li, there was nothing.

Ji Ruo was stunned.

The special effect of the red scarf can even extract the white cat from Rosie's body. Under normal circumstances, there should be no means to prevent the heroic spirit from coming to protect the wearer.

Why is there no heroic spirit appearing after Niu Li?

Did his father not want to protect him? Or...did his father not die?

…

"Ji Ruo, what do you want to say? I'm still in class."

"Squad leader, I suspect Niu Li's father is still alive!" Ji Ruo said seriously.

Liang Shixian looked at Ji Ruo, and suddenly sighed, saying: "Ji Ruo, I know you are doing this for Niu Li's good, but this kind of thing... accept the reality, Ji Ruo."

"Squad leader, do you believe me?"

"Of course."

"Please keep an eye on the students while I go out and look for them."

"I'll go with you!"

Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go tonight."

…

Night falls.

Ji Ruo was speechless when he saw all the members of the Spicy and Spicy Group gathered.

"Why are you all here?"

…
