Chapter 72 Research Conference 25 Thank goodness you came
Xin Xiuying and Xie Xinghui exchanged a glance, neither of them able to determine Chu Xingjin's true purpose in saying that.
Could it be that Chu Xingjin stole the items? But would a thief be so bold as to come to the victim's door and flaunt his power?
Regardless of whether Chu Xingjin was behind it or not, they cannot admit it at this moment.
That's ridiculous! Their Diana is still working hard, how can they give up at this time?
They're not stupid.
A small black snake emerged from Xie Xinghui's sleeve, hissing and flicking its tongue in front of Chu Xingjin.
"If you keep talking nonsense here, my little black dog will get angry."
Chu Xingjin shuddered and left sheepishly.
Xie Xinghui and Xin Xiuying exchanged another glance, remaining silent in their seats, unable to listen to any of the disciples' speeches on stage. They would only glance at their junior teacher, Xiao Guo, hoping that she would suddenly stand up and bring them good news.
As soon as Xie Jiaoyue, who was being called upon by the two people, left the clan school, she took out her little lotus flower and tossed it into the air. A huge lotus flower bloomed in mid-air.
Xie Jiaoyue leaped and nimbly mounted her mount.
She initially intended to unleash all her spiritual power, but after a slight hesitation, she decided to reserve some of it for the sake of safety, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Nevertheless, Little Lotus was still very fast, and the scenery beneath her flew by. In no time, she arrived at the Heaven and Earth Division.
She had only been to this place once before, and she never expected that her second visit would not be to read books, but for such an absurd reason.
Xie Jiaoyue was beautiful and had dressed up specially for the research conference. Standing at the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Bureau, she was like a shining beacon, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Gongshi Moyu, a friend who had met Xie Jiaoyue before, happened to notice Xie Jiaoyue.
"Oh, your brother went to look for you. What brings you here?"
Gong Shi Moyu has actually left the Heaven and Earth Bureau.
Xie Jiaoyue quickly asked, "When did Brother Moyu leave?"
"Hmm, it's been at least fifteen minutes. Logically speaking, we should have arrived at the clan school by now. What, did you miss it?"
Xie Jiaoyue took out the Psychic Mirror and looked at it again, confirming that Gongshi Moyu still hadn't replied to her message.
Xie Jiaoyue stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of the person opposite her: "Senior brother, I suspect that Brother Moyu may have run into trouble."
Call any man you meet "senior brother" and any woman you meet "senior sister" to quickly build rapport.
The moment his wrist was grabbed, the male cultivator's face immediately turned red, but after hearing Xie Jiaoyue's words, his expression returned to normal.
"This... I can hardly convince the director and others based on your guess alone."
Xie Jiaoyue insisted: "Brother Moyu always replies to my messages very quickly, there has never been a time when he didn't reply for this long."
After saying this, Xie Jiaoyue felt a little ashamed. Mo Yu replied to her messages very quickly, but she often couldn't be bothered to reply because of various things, and would only reply when she felt she had to because night fell.
After a brief moment of shame, Xie Jiaoyue continued, "He hasn't replied for so long, especially since he didn't send me a message even when he arrived at the clan school and found me missing. Something must have happened."
The male cultivator opposite him and Gongshi Moyu did have a good relationship. Hearing Xie Jiaoyue's words, he couldn't help but nod.
Gong Shi Moyu is indeed someone who is obviously a sister-complex person.
“I’ll go with you to look for it. If there’s a problem, I can contact other people in the Heaven and Earth Division through their special magic artifacts, and they can come over immediately.”
The male cultivator's heart was bleeding as he spoke. His job today was to guard the gate of the Heaven and Earth Bureau's library. Now, if he left his post without permission, he would definitely be discovered and punished by sweeping the gate for ten days.
If he finds that Gongshi Moyu is perfectly fine and nothing has happened, he will definitely give Gongshi Moyu a good beating.
But when his sister pleaded with him so pitifully, he felt that sweeping the gate for ten days was nothing. His friend's sister was in trouble, and he had no choice but to help.
Xie Jiaoyue enlarged the lotus flower to twice its original size, allowing the male cultivator to sit behind her.
"Senior brother, are you seated securely?"
The male cultivator didn't know where to put his hands, nervously standing behind Xie Jiaoyue to make sure he had no contact with her before saying, "Sit tight."
Xie Jiaoyue immediately urged her lotus mount forward, patrolling at an extremely fast speed the areas where Gongshi Moyu might pass by.
The male cultivator had originally intended to operate the mount himself, but after Xie Jiaoyue started the mount, he completely gave up the idea.
This friend's sister really knew her brother very well. She often accompanied Gongshi Moyu to the clan school, but she couldn't remember the route Gongshi Moyu took to the clan school. However, Xie Jiaoyue had only accompanied Gongshi Moyu once or twice, yet she remembered it.
The roads within the city are all the same; the roads that differ most are those outside the main urban area.
Gong Shi Moyu, relying on his high cultivation level, was used to taking shortcuts, but not entirely. He would bypass several flower fields to avoid getting his clothes smelling of flowers.
Xie Jiaoyue precisely bypassed those flower fields and headed towards the most desolate and deserted place on the way.
A faint smell of blood began to fill the air.
The male cultivator immediately took control of the lotus mount, further increasing its speed. The two of them flew through the air like a flying arrow.
The sounds of fighting could be heard ahead.
"This place is very close to the sealed area."
"A sealed area?" Xie Jiaoyue asked in confusion, then immediately realized, "Is it an array used to seal magical beasts?"
The male cultivator nodded: "Golden Spirit City is called Golden Spirit City because it is very close to the Golden Spirit Seal. Similar seals are distributed in many places across the continent, jointly guarding the barrier between the city and the Demon Realm."
The seal has been maintained for many years without any problems, so how could a monster suddenly escape?
The two quickly moved forward. As soon as they arrived, they saw the exhausted Gongshi Moyu falling from mid-air. The male cultivator immediately activated the special magic weapon he had brought to call for help from the Heaven and Earth Division. He then caught Gongshi Moyu and threw him into Xie Jiaoyue's arms.
"Your cultivation level is still too low to deal with the demonic beast. Take your brother and leave quickly."
One needs at least the Foundation Establishment stage to have the ability to fight against magical beasts. Therefore, as the entry level among aristocratic families, the entry requirement for Yellow-level aristocratic families is that they must have a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
One is not enough; there must be at least five.
This is a rule left over from the previous generation and the Warcraft war, because one wasn't enough to kill.
Xie Jiaoyue knew she was useless here and would only be a burden, so she immediately placed Gong Shi Moyu on her little lotus flower and retreated.
Only after retreating to a safe area did she put Gong Shimoyu down.
Xie Jiaoyue was not a medical practitioner and did not know how to treat the injured, but recently, in preparation for the research conference, Xin Xiuying had made a lot of pills in her spare time, including some basic healing medicines.
Xie Jiaoyue took out a pill from her storage ring and fed it to Gongshi Moyu.
Gong Shi Moyu had already opened her eyes, though she could only open them halfway due to exhaustion, but her voice remained gentle: "Jiaoyue, why are you still here? You should be attending the research conference."
He was always a cautious person, but this time, because he was in a hurry to deliver something to Xie Jiaoyue, he forgot to bring the magic weapon he used to contact the Heaven and Earth Division, and unexpectedly encountered a demonic beast.
This was truly due to his carelessness; who could have imagined that he would run into such a rare magical beast?
"I'm sorry, Jiaoyue. I am now a member of the Heaven and Earth Division and have the mission to protect Jinling City. I cannot be a deserter in the face of such a situation, so I wasted time."
He opened his palm, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
"It's a good thing you came, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get the things to you."
The faint smell of blood in the air was from the magical beasts. Gong Shi Moyu had no obvious injuries; her weakness was only due to the exhaustion of her spiritual power, which was why she fell from mid-air.
Xie Jiaoyue naturally discovered everything. She could see that everything was under Gongshi Moyu's control. Although Gongshi Moyu couldn't eliminate all the magical beasts, he also wouldn't let himself be seriously harmed.
She accepted the jade bottle without any pretense.
Her mission was complete; she successfully passed on Gong Shi Moyu's task of stopping the demonic beasts to the next person and also made sure that the Heavenly Division was informed of the problem that had occurred there.
There's no point in her staying here now; she should hurry back and continue attending the research conference.
However, there was still not enough time.
No matter how fast her mount was, it wasn't fast enough. If she went back like this, she probably wouldn't be able to make it to the exhibition at the research conference in time.
Gong Shi Moyu took out a small magical artifact: "Although I forgot to bring the small item used to contact the Heaven and Earth Bureau, I did not forget to bring this."
The harbinger bird isn't very useful; its only function is to quickly deliver small items.
With limited capacity, Xie Jiaoyue poured out a few pills from the jade bottle, replaced them with a smaller jade bottle, tied it to the ankle of the harbinger bird, and activated it with spiritual power. The harbinger bird flapped its wings and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xie Jiaoyue carried the remaining pills with her, intending to send them back by herself.
Even if there's a high probability we won't make it, we should still do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Xie Jiaoyue looked at Gongshi Moyu lying on a pile of leaves: "Are you alright here by yourself?"
Gongshi Moyu waved his hand: "If you don't leave, wouldn't all the suffering I've endured today have been for nothing?"
Xie Jiaoyue turned back for one last look at the magical beast not far away and Gongshi Moyu in front of her. She then took out several protective magic items from her storage ring to make sure everything was in order before finally turning around and leaving.
Off she goes! She's coming to the academic conference!
At this time, the academic conference selection process was in full swing.
Fortunately, Xie Jiaoyue's team was assigned to the last group.
Unfortunately, to this day, Commander Guo remains seated in the same spot, unmoved.
Xin Xiuying went from glancing at Commander Guo from time to time to staring at him constantly.
Finally, Commander Guo stood up!
She took a glass of water and then sat down again.
Xin Xiuying was deflated. Were they destined to be unable to participate in the research conference successfully?
"Hey, look! Look! Commander Guo has stood up again!"
Xin Xiuying dared not hold out any hope, fearing another disappointment: "Sigh, maybe there are other things going on."
Despite saying that, Xin Xiuying kept her eyes fixed on Commander Guo as he walked to the door.
Commander Guo opened the door, and a wooden spirit bird fluttered its wings and flew into the house.
