Chapter 112 Give You a Surprise
"Junior Brother Xiao, good afternoon."
The next afternoon, Shang Jiuli came to Xiao Mo's courtyard.
Xiao Mo, who was reading in the yard, raised his head. Bai Ruxue also stopped her needlework and looked outside the yard.
The moment Bai Ruxue saw Shang Jiuli, she became alert.
Although Bai Rushue knew that there was nothing going on between Xiao Mo and Shang Jiuli, Bai Rushue felt that Shang Jiuli was still a very dangerous woman.
A woman's intuition told Bai Rushue that this person wanted to do something bad to her own Xiao Mo.
"Why is Senior Sister here?"
Xiao Mo put down the book, stood up, walked forward and bowed to Shang Jiuli, then looked at Bai Rushue who was sitting behind him.
Bai Rushue's cheeks flushed slightly and she clenched her hands tightly.
But in the end, Bai Ruxue took a deep breath, walked forward and bowed to Shang Jiuli, and said rather reluctantly: "Ruxue had some misunderstandings about what happened last night. I apologize to you, Senior Sister. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's okay, I understand." Shang Jiuli said with a smile, "After all, if it were me, I would misunderstand too. But it seems that you have explained it clearly, so that's good."
"Is there anything wrong, Senior Sister?" Xiao Mo asked.
"The day after tomorrow I will go to the Confucian Academy with your senior brother Luo to take part in the assessment of the academy's president. I want to ask you, junior brother, if you want to go with us?" Shang Jiuli asked.
"I'm going too?" Xiao Mo didn't quite understand what his senior sister meant. What did it have to do with him if his senior sister and brother were taking the assessment?
"Yes."
Shang Jiuli nodded.
"Because you, Junior Brother, will also be taking the Gentleman's Examination soon. Although the list of candidates from the academy hasn't come out yet, you will definitely be among them. So why don't the three of us go together? This is also what the teacher suggested.
However, I'm afraid that Junior Brother won't be able to take Miss Bai with him. Any disciple of the academy who takes part in the examination, whether it's a servant or a family member, cannot follow along, even in secret.
Because the assessment actually begins the moment you leave the academy.
This is the rule of the academy."
"I know." Xiao Mo has been in Bailu Academy for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with the rules of Bailu Academy.
"Then think about it carefully. If you want to go with us, just tell me tomorrow morning. We will set off the next morning. You can also stay in the academy for a few more days and wait for the letter from the academy. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Thank you for your help, senior sister. Take care." Xiao Mo bowed and said goodbye.
After Shang Jiuli left, Xiao Mo turned around and looked at Bai Rushue.
"Go ahead."
Just when Xiao Mo was about to speak, Bai Ruxue smiled and said, looking as considerate as a virtuous wife.
"Anyway, Xiao Mo, if you don't go now, you will have to leave in a few days. Instead of that, it would be better for you to go with Brother Luo and Sister Shang. You will have someone to take care of you on the way, and I will feel more at ease."
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Aren't you worried that I'll have something going on with Senior Sister Shang?"
"I'm not worried. I'm very confident in you." Bai Ruxue pouted and turned her head away.
Xiao Mo reached out and stroked her hair. "The gentleman's examination usually takes three to four months. During this time, Ruxue, you can go back to Beihai first. Otherwise, you will be bored in Bailu Academy."
"Who said I was boring?" Bai Ruxue hummed, putting her hands on her waist, as if saying, "I want to do something while you're away." "Xiao Mo, don't worry about me. Just go to the academy and take the exam. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay, I'll go then."
"Well, be careful on the road. When you come back, I'll give you a surprise."
"What surprise?"
"Xiao Mo, you're so stupid." Bai Ruxue pouted, "If I tell you, can this still be called a surprise?"
"How about revealing some information in advance?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.
"No!" Bai Ruxue walked forward and straightened Xiao Mo's clothes. "If you want to know earlier, then you should come back earlier. Got it?"
"knew."
"That's good to know. I'll go pack your luggage for you."
Bai Ruxue turned and ran into the house.
Early the next morning, Shang Jiuli and Luo Yang came to pick up Xiao Mo and take him to the Confucian Academy.
Bai Ruxue accompanied Xiao Mo away.
After Xiao Mo left, Bai Ruxue rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the yard.
After cleaning, Bai Ruxue went to Bailu Peak of Bailu Academy.
Bailu Peak is the courtyard where the president of Bailu Academy lives.
"What a rare guest."
The dean of Bailu Academy, who was making tea in the courtyard, saw Bai Ruxue coming, stood up and bowed to her.
"I have met the Lord of the North Sea."
"I have been in your hospital for so many years and only just come to visit Mr. Shang. I hope Mr. Shang will not blame me." Bai Ruxue bowed.
Bai Ruxue had long known that she could not hide her identity from the dean, but the other party did not cause trouble for her.
"Miss Bai, you are too polite." Shang Qi stroked his white beard. "I wonder if Miss Bai has come to see me for something?"
Bai Ruxue didn't beat around the bush with the old scholar and said bluntly, "I want to do something on a mountain north of Bailu Academy. It might cause quite a stir, so I came to say hello to Mr. Shang first.
In addition, Mr. Shang, please issue a notice that all students of the academy should not approach that mountain for the next three months."
"Okay, I understand. Please rest assured, Miss Bai." Shang Qi did not ask Bai Ruxue what she was going to do.
Since the other party came to greet me, it means it’s not a bad thing.
Not to mention it happened right under his own nose.
Moreover, now that the war between humans and demons is imminent, it would be a small favor for me to give the Lord of the North Sea a favor.
"Then I'll trouble you, Dean. I'll take my leave first." Bai Ruxue nodded.
"Goodbye, Miss Bai." Shang Qi bowed and said goodbye.
But Bai Ruxue turned around and took a few steps before stopping: "There is one more thing, Dean, just listen to it."
"Miss Bai, please speak."
"Miss Shang is not young anymore. It's inevitable for a girl not to get married. I know quite a few young men. If Miss Shang is willing, I can act as a matchmaker." Bai Ruxue said with a smile.
Shang Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Lord of the North Sea would say this to him.
"Thank you Miss Bai for your concern, but my granddaughter has a stubborn temper. But when she comes back, I will talk to her. I, an old man, also want to have more great-grandchildren." Shang Qi accepted the other party's kindness.
Bai Ruxue nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Watching Bai Ruxue's leaving figure, Shang Qi touched his chin, his heart full of doubts:
"Why is the Lord of the North Sea so concerned about his granddaughter's marriage?"
[I'm about to get into the rhythm. Today I'll sort out the outline and make a transition between these two chapters. Starting on the 1st, I'll update four times a day for a month. I'll keep my promise.]
