When Sumu arrived at the affiliated middle school, it was almost time for evening self-study.
Chun Huyue still had some work to deal with, so she went into the school and asked Sumu to wait for her at the school gate. He was an outsider and could not enter and leave the affiliated middle school at will.
After seeing Chun Huyue off, Su Mu stood at the gate of the affiliated middle school, looking around curiously.
This school is located at the foot of Mount Qingcheng and looks no different from an ordinary middle school. On both sides of the school gate are various stationery stores, which sell not only stationery but also small gifts and snacks. In addition, there are also milk tea shops, copy shops and the like.
Because it was almost time to go home from school, many street vendors came here with their carts to set up stalls, selling grilled gluten, fried potatoes, grilled sausages and other things.
Nowadays, many cities prohibit mobile vendors from setting up stalls near schools, but Qingchengshan Affiliated Middle School is not in the urban area after all, so the restrictions in this regard are relatively loose.
In addition to the vendors, there were also parents outside the school gate picking up their children.
What surprised Su Mu was that these parents were not all human, some of them were monsters.
Most of these spirits have been able to transform into humans, but some of them have not yet reached the level of power, and have only half transformed into humans. Some have transformed into humans on the upper part, and some have transformed into humans on the lower part...
So the question is, do you choose the one above that has turned into a human form, or the one below?
Of course, it is not ruled out that some monsters have the ability to completely transform into humans, but are unwilling to do so.
This is the case with people like Big Bear and Pheasant.
Su Mu had asked about this matter before. According to Pheasant's explanation, the main reason was that the five of them looked too handsome and beautiful after transforming, and they were afraid of attracting some unnecessary trouble, so they did not transform.
Su Mu has always been skeptical about this explanation.
Among the human parents at the school gate, many are ordinary people.
But they were not afraid or surprised by the monsters around them, and they all looked used to it.
Even some familiar human and monster parents gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
[It seems that in the affiliated middle school, in addition to human students, there are also many monster students. ]
Su Mu had attended an ordinary middle school before. The school was full of humans and there were no monsters. He couldn't help but be curious. If humans and monsters studied together, there must be a lot of interesting things happening, right?
If a human student and a monster student were in love at school, would some old monk or Taoist priest jump out and say that humans and monsters are on different paths and cannot be in love?
I guess there aren’t any old monks or Taoist priests, but there are teachers who catch children in premature love. If they are caught, it will be just as miserable.
Su Mu was very curious about what these human and monster parents were talking about when they got together, and couldn't help but prick up his ears to eavesdrop.
"Old Hu, how did your child do in the monthly exam a few days ago?"
A monster with some bird feathers on its face and a pair of wings on its back asked the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned unsightly.
"Hasn't the school just started a few days ago? The monthly exam is already here? I didn't hear from that brat. No, I have to ask him tonight! How did your daughter do in the exam?"
"Don't mention it. I used Hawkeye to cheat in the exam and copied the paper of the student in front of me. The teacher found out and called me in to give me a severe lecture. He also said that I would have to write a self-reflection at the next parents' meeting... You said it wasn't me who cheated, so why did he ask me to write a self-reflection?"
Hearing this, it seems that this person should be an Eagle Sauce.
The middle-aged man comforted Yingjiang for a few words, and then the two of them started to criticize the teacher together...
[It's not easy to be a teacher these days.] Su Mu sighed in his heart, and then he heard someone next to him ask him: "You look unfamiliar, are you here to pick up the child too?"
He turned his head and saw a beautiful and elegant auntie asking him questions.
This aunt is also a spirit, but not an animal, but a plant spirit. Look at her long hair, there is a small green branch emerging, with a few pink apricot flowers blooming on it.
Normally, September and October are not the time for apricot flowers to bloom, but considering that the apricot flowers have become spirits, we naturally cannot treat them like ordinary people.
"I'm here to pick up my sister." Su Mu replied politely.
Auntie Xinghua nodded. "That's what I said. You look so young, you don't look like you have a child. Even if you do, it's impossible that they are already in middle school. But why are you here to pick up your sister? Where are your parents?"
“They died a few years ago.”
"Oh, sorry..."
"It doesn't matter, it's been several years." Su Mu said.
"It's great that you can think this way. We need to look forward and not stay in sadness." Auntie Xinghua sighed and suddenly changed the subject: "Hey, do you have a girlfriend? My daughter is in junior high school here. When she comes out, you two can get to know each other?"
"ah?"
Su Mu was stunned. This topic was too jumpy, wasn't it? You didn't choose me because my parents were both dead and I was handsome?
"Your daughter is only in junior high school, isn't it too early to consider a partner?"
We only know that human parents urge their children to get married, but do goblin parents also urge their children to get married? And they are even more anxious than human parents. They are only in junior high school, and they are urging their children to find a partner?
Aunt Xinghua said, "It's not too early. Spirits are different from humans. Although my daughter has only been awakened and transformed for a few years and is just in junior high school, she is already several decades old. According to your human age, she should have been married and become a mother a long time ago. You look like a student of our Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University, right? My whole family works at Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University. I am an assistant professor in the Spirit Plant Department, and my husband is a researcher in the department, mainly engaged in research work. What is your major? How are your grades? When will you graduate? Do you have any ideas about your future career? Where do you plan to settle down? How many children do you want to have? Do you prefer boys or girls? Do you want to keep the older one or the younger one..."
Su Mu was completely defeated.
When he first heard Auntie Xinghua's words, he was still thinking: [We're talking about family background now? That's too fast. ]
When I heard the series of questions, I felt overwhelmed and said quickly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I'm not planning to consider a girlfriend for the time being. My studies are the most important thing."
Auntie Xinghua rolled her eyes at him, her tone somewhat angry and dissatisfied: "You still call me auntie."
What else do you want me to call you? Mom? Or... honey?
Although you are very pretty and have good taste, I still want to work hard on my own...
Su Mu couldn't help but shiver.
Fortunately, someone came to help him out at this time: "Okay, Xinghuajing, he has said that he wants to focus on his studies and not consider a girlfriend for the time being, so stop pestering him."
Auntie Xinghua recognized the person when she saw him. She frowned and said, "Professor Xiao? Does this have anything to do with you? Is he your relative or your student?"
The man called Professor Xiao was in his forties, not tall, a little thin, and wore glasses.
Hearing Aunt Xinghua's question, Professor Xiao smiled and said, "He is not my student, but he is my nephew, and also the young man that my teacher values the most. Maybe he will become my teacher's student in the future."
Aunt Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is he Su Mu?"
After all, she was a staff member of Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University, so it was not surprising that she had heard some rumors about Su Mu and Wen Wubin.
"That's right." Professor Xiao nodded.
Aunt Xinghua's eyes lit up and she became more interested in Su Mu.
Those who are valued by Wen Wubin will definitely receive good treatment in the future. If they stay in school as teachers, they will gain even more fame, status and income.
However, considering Wen Wubin, she didn't dare to pester Su Mu like before, so she could only say: "Student Su Mu, if you want to have a relationship, just tell Auntie... Let's add WeChat and leave a phone number, okay?"
In the end, Su Mu added Aunt Xinghua as a friend on WeChat.
Of course, it was not for her daughter. She was mainly thinking that when she would need materials to make medicine in the future and couldn't buy them from her senior brothers and sisters, maybe she could ask Aunt Xinghua for help.
But he was also very curious, could this monster get pregnant and have children if it married a human?
If it can give birth, then will the child be a human, a spirit, or a hybrid? And if this plant becomes a spirit, how will it give birth? Will it be pregnant and give birth like ordinary humans, or will it have a fruit grafted onto its body?
Oh, this is so interesting.
"What are you thinking about?" After sending Aunt Xinghua away, Professor Xiao waved his hand in front of Su Mu.
Su Mu quickly collected his thoughts and replied, "I'm not thinking about anything."
After asking hello, he asked again: "Uncle Master, why are you here?"
He had met this senior uncle before in the experimental building of the Alchemy Department. Xu Yue had also introduced him to him. He was one of the few students in Wen Wubin's group who specialized in alchemy research.
Now in school, in addition to teaching advanced alchemy courses, he also leads a research team to work on a project. The direction of the research is 'The application of violent spiritual energy in alchemy', which is obviously aimed at the increasingly severe spiritual energy in the secret realm and the upcoming third secret realm arrival.
Professor Xiao smiled and replied, "I have a spirit beast that I plan to train as an assistant. However, before I teach it knowledge about elixirs, I need to let it learn the basics first. I don't have time to teach it, so I sent it here to receive education."
"So that's how it is." Su Mu understood.
[It seems that in the affiliated school, there should be many spirit beasts of school teachers sent here to study. Little Ye Zi should not drool at the sight of her "classmates" and have the urge to eat them.]
Su Mu was a little worried.
After chatting with Professor Xiao for a while, the bell for the end of get out of class rang in the school.
Su Mu took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Ye, telling her that he was at the school gate.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Professor Xiao received his spirit beast first. It was an eared mouse that had not yet fully formed. Its body was somewhat similar to that of a mouse, but it had a rabbit's head and a long tail.
When the eared mouse came out, it did not run on the ground using its four paws, but instead spread out its tail, which was as big as a wing, and glided out.
There were two human classmates beside it, chatting as they walked.
A classmate said, "After finishing the homework, let's play ranked games together?"
Ear Mouse shook his head: "My wife doesn't allow me to play with my phone."
"Your boss is so cruel!" said another classmate.
Su Mu was visibly embarrassed when he saw Professor Xiao's expression.
But then again, it's no wonder that Professor Xiao wants to train the ear mouse as his assistant. This spiritual beast has a high resistance to poison and is indeed a very good assistant in elixir research.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xiao Ye's voice came to my ears: "Brother!"
He turned around and saw Su Ye.
There was also a very beautiful little girl walking out of the school gate with her.
"Huh?"
Seeing the little girl, Su Mu was slightly stunned.
