Chapter 109 Can I steal someone’s sweetheart?
Bai Ruxue stood outside Shang Jiuli's courtyard gate, and no one knew how long she had been there.
She felt empty in her heart and her head was empty.
Even Bai Ruxue couldn't feel the passage of time.
Bai Ruxue didn't know how much time had passed.
When Bai Rushue reacted, the door of the bamboo building was already open.
Bai Ruxue shuddered and felt extremely panicked.
She rolled her eyes, concealed her breath, and hid behind a tree.
Xiao Mo and Shang Jiuli went downstairs together and walked out of the courtyard.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Mo bowed to Shang Jiuli and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period of time, Senior Sister."
"It would be a lie to say it wasn't hard work, but Junior Brother is indeed very talented." Shang Jiuli yawned, "And during this period, Senior Sister's evenings have been very fulfilling~"
“.”
If it were in the past, Xiao Mo would have refuted his senior sister's ambiguous remarks.
But now, Xiao Mo has gotten used to it.
"Senior Sister, have a good rest. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Mo took out a bead from his arms. "I don't need this either, so I'll return it to you."
At that time, Xiao Mo wanted to sneak out of the yard. In order to avoid being discovered by Bai Rushue, Shang Jiuli specially gave Xiao Mo a precious pearl.
"How about you keep this thing, Junior Brother? What if you feel lonely again late at night?" Shang Jiuli said with a smile.
"Senior sister, stop joking." Xiao Mo shook his head.
"Alright." Shang Jiuli accepted the pearl. "Then take care, Junior Brother. I'm going back to sleep. Junior Brother has been tormenting me for more than two months. I can finally get a good night's sleep from now on."
"Senior Sister, don't send me off."
Xiao Mo turned around and was about to go back.
But Xiao Mo had not taken a few steps when he saw a corner of the woman's skirt revealed behind a tree under the bright moonlight.
A gust of wind blew, and the woman's long silver hair fluttered in the air, with a little moonlight luster.
"Ruxue?" Xiao Mo shouted.
Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, the girl behind the tree trembled and ran forward quickly.
Looking at Ruxue's appearance, Xiao Mo knew what was going on without thinking and quickly caught up with her.
"I didn't expect that I would be discovered. It seems that my junior brother will have a hard time tonight."
Shang Jiuli, standing at the gate of the courtyard, looked in the direction where Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue left, his eyes filled with a look of curiosity.
"Brother Luo, you have been spying on others in the dark. Isn't that a bad idea?" Shang Jiuli looked at a stone on the right.
As Shang Jiuli finished speaking, Luo Yang walked out from behind the stone.
"Senior brother, it's late at night and everyone is asleep. It's not a gentleman's behavior for you to come to someone else's yard." Shang Jiuli said with a smile.
Luo Yang ignored her and threw a letter at her.
Shang Jiuli reached out to take it. There was a seal of the Confucian Academy on the envelope.
"I just came back from the Confucian Academy tonight. The Palace Master asked me to bring you a letter. However, seeing my junior brother with you, I didn't want to embarrass you. I stood there for an hour for nothing, and you still called me 'ungentlemanly'."
Luo Yang shook his head helplessly and continued.
"Get ready. In two months, the Confucian Academy will assess you for the position of academy president."
"So soon?"
Shang Jiuli was a little surprised.
There are many grades of scholars in Confucian academies.
From bottom to top they are sages, gentlemen, upright gentlemen, presidents of academies, deans of academies, chief priests of academies, sages worshipped alongside them, presidents of academies, and masters of Confucian academies.
Shang Jiuli was already a "gentleman".
She thought her next assessment would be four years later, but she didn't expect it to come today.
Luo Yang shook his head: "With your talent, this is not fast at all, and Junior Brother Xiao's gentleman's assessment should be fast."
"It's all just empty reputation." Shang Jiuli shook his head and casually accepted the envelope. "But thank you for delivering the letter, Senior Brother."
"You're welcome." Luo Yang looked at Shang Jiuli and did not leave immediately.
"Brother, is there anything else?" Shang Jiuli asked.
Luo Yang said calmly: "You seem to think highly of Junior Brother Xiao?"
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Shang Jiuli smiled. "This is our only junior brother."
Luo Yang held the Gentleman Sword in his arms and tilted his head: "At the beginning, you may really just regard Xiao Mo as a junior brother, but now, especially after you and Junior Brother Xiao have been alone at night for more than two months, I am not sure.
But then again, Junior Brother Xiao is indeed very popular.
Whether it's his temperament or his talent, I wonder how many women in Bailu Academy secretly admire him."
Shang Jiuli smiled and said, "If you weren't so cold all the time, there would be many women who would like you."
"Women only slow down my speed in turning pages and drawing my sword."
Luo Yang raised his head and looked at Shang Jiuli seriously.
"Junior sister, the North Sea Lord's reverse scale has never been on her own body. Her reverse scale will always be Junior Brother Xiao. Now that the human race and the demon race seem to be easing, there are actually undercurrents.
If the North Sea can maintain neutrality, or even side with the human race, it is mostly because Junior Brother Xiao is a human.
"I still know this."
Shang Jiuli leaned against the fence.
“It is rumored that the Lord of the North Sea is ruthless and mature, but in front of Junior Brother Xiao, he is like a little girl, as docile as a little rabbit.
To be honest, when I first saw the Lord of the North Sea, I thought I was seeing things."
Luo Yang shook his head: "Cultivators are not heartless. When some cultivators meet their loved ones, they will eventually reveal the softest side of their hearts. This has nothing to do with the level of their realm.
But don't think that this Lord of the North Sea has such a personality.
She only treats Junior Brother Xiao like this."
"Senior brother, you also understand these things about love?" Shang Jiuli said with a smile.
Luo Yang: “.”
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. With your personality, how could you possibly understand love between men and women?" Shang Jiuli smiled, covering his mouth. "Then again, the North Sea isn't a monolithic entity. The hatred between the human and dragon races runs deep. Can Bai Ruxue really suppress it?"
"This is not something you and I need to consider." Luo Yang looked directly into Shang Jiuli's eyes. "Junior sister, just treat Junior Brother Xiao as a fellow disciple. Don't think too much about it."
Shang Jiuli's eyes curved: "Brother, what you said is not right. Could it be that I can snatch someone's sweetheart away?"
Luo Yang glanced at his junior sister, said nothing, and just turned and left.
After a long while, Luo Yang's voice finally came from the dim woods: "Who knows?"
The man's voice was lost in the wind.
The night wind blew Shang Jiuli's skirt.
She raised her head and looked at the bright moonlight.
The thin figure looked like a green bamboo under the moonlight.
After a long time, Shang Jiuli smiled sweetly:
"He's just a junior fellow apprentice."
