Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

After seeing off the Leng Qing and Leng Lingling sisters, Mo Xie had just stepped out of the courthouse when a group of people walked towards her.

He looked up, a smile appearing on his face, and asked.

"Oh, isn't this Councilor Zhu Meng? Where are you planning to go today to implement your hidden danger strategy?"

The group that approached was led by Zhu Meng. Upon hearing these sarcastic words, he glanced at Mo Xie indifferently.

Seeing this, the group of palace guards behind them looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally turned their gaze to their leader.

On one side was a great hero who defended Hangzhou and solved the plague, and on the other side was a member of their own respect and love. For a moment, they did not know what to do.

Zhu Meng gazed at Mo Xie quietly, then suddenly a smile curved his lips, and he chuckled softly.

The sound of laughter startled everyone present, who all looked at him with strange expressions.
Mo Xie, in particular, twitched slightly at the corner of his eye, staring intently at Zhu Meng, and involuntarily took a step back.

What's going on? Did I really let this guy have his fill of insults?!

Seeing several strange gazes lingering on him, Zhu Meng realized that his behavior just now was a bit off. He quickly suppressed his smile, coughed, and asked Mo Xie.

"Are you leaving the court now?"

Even though Mo Xie was somewhat wary, she still nodded and agreed.

"Correct."

"Okay, I'm leaving anyway, let's go together, I have something I want to tell you."

Seeing Mo Xie nod, Zhu Meng ignored him and turned to walk out first.

Mo Xie shrugged and followed suit at a similarly brisk pace.

Seeing this, a group of palace guards naturally couldn't say anything and followed after them.

On the way, Mo Xie and Zhu Meng walked side by side without saying a word, and the atmosphere became strange for a moment.

In the end, it was the latter who couldn't stand the atmosphere and spoke first.

"Moye, I am sorry for everything I did before, and I also want to thank you for your help to Hangzhou."

Upon hearing this, the group of palace guards behind him were all startled and looked at Zhu Meng in disbelief.

Wasn't the councilor supposed to dislike Mo Xie? Why did he suddenly change his mind and apologize today? It's truly baffling...

Mo Xie wasn't surprised by Zhu Meng's apology. Although this guy did have some flaws in handling things, he had a righteous heart and the ability to distinguish right from wrong.

However, he still joked with a smile.

"It's quite surprising that Representative Zhu Meng would actually thank me."

"I know you don't like me, but I was wrong in this matter, and I do owe you a favor."

Mo Xie waved his hand and smiled in response to Zhu Meng's words.

"You don't need to repay any favors. Just don't forget our bet."

"Of course! You've helped me a lot, so even if it were several times, I would still do it without hesitation!"

After chatting for a while, the relationship between the two had clearly improved considerably. This change left the palace guards behind them looking at each other in bewilderment, but they didn't think much of it and just wanted to avoid putting either side in a difficult position.

"By the way, you should receive some good news in a few days."

"good news?"

Upon hearing Zhu Meng's words, Mo Xie raised an eyebrow. He could roughly guess what the good news was: a recommendation vote to be selected for the National Team.

Although my master and mistress said they would prepare four recommendation votes for me, plus one vote from Hua Zhanhong, the commander of the Southern Military Region, it's better to have something than nothing.

"Well, you'll find out then. Consider it my apology." Zhu Meng gave a mysterious smile and then left with his entourage.

After seeing off another group of people, Mo Xie finally had time to take out his phone and send a message to Tang Yue.

[Sister Tang Yue, I've finished my work. Where are you now?]

A short while later, Tang Yue's message came through.

I'm on the Su Causeway in West Lake. Just come over, and I'll send you my location.

The next second, a location was sent over, which was not far from the Lingyin Temple Trial Meeting, and it wouldn't take long to walk there.

Perfect timing, let's prepare a surprise for Sister Tang Yue...

With that thought, Mo Xie smiled easily and left the Lingyin Temple trial chamber with light steps.

——·——

Hangzhou, West Lake Scenic Area.

After the plague ended, walking along the Su Causeway with its rows of willows again, it was a completely different sight.

It wasn't just that willow leaves and catkins filled the air and the ground; the Su Causeway was also teeming with tourists, who kept looking west into the lake, hoping to finally see the black serpent that protected Hangzhou.

Overnight, the totem snake has become one of the attractions in the West Lake scenic area, attracting a large number of tourists. People have even forgotten that the area was under alert not long ago.

Unfortunately, the totem serpent has never appeared since that battle. All people see here is a lake, and no one can find it.

The story of the totem snake has spread, and people are now clearly aware that there is indeed a guardian deity in Hangzhou. No wonder this ancient city has been attacked by demons the fewest times in its long history.

All the chaos returned to calm. Elderly people strolled along the Su Causeway, couples sat on benches for a romantic rendezvous, and families of tourists leisurely enjoyed the scenery. After the fear that had hung over the city completely disappeared, peace and leisure were everywhere.

Whether people know how to cherish the peace and tranquility they have now is something only they themselves know.

At this moment, a group of high school students stood by the Su Causeway, their eyes fixed on the shimmering lake surface, as if trying to see something through the rippling water.

One of the boys finally couldn't hold on any longer, rubbed his sore eyes, and asked helplessly.

"Hey, I have to say this is kind of stupid. My eyes are practically bloodshot. Do we really think we can see that giant serpent like this?"

Upon hearing the question, a bespectacled, refined-looking young man blinked his tired eyes, adjusted the frames of his glasses, and said with certainty.

"Believe me, my uncle told me that if you really see the guardian spirit in West Lake, you will dream about the guardian spirit when you sleep at night, and then you will be chosen to become a guardian."

A pure-looking girl with a high ponytail looked at the two of them helplessly, gently tossed her hair, and said irritably.

"Xiao Bing, your uncle is obviously trying to fool you. Don't be fooled."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that the girl with the high ponytail held a high position in this small group.

Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the others, the bespectacled boy named Xiaobing looked at the boy who had spoken first and said with a defiant expression.

“Mingyu, isn’t it you who most wants to see the Guardian Angel? You be the judge.”

However, there was no response, which made him turn his head to look. He saw that the boy named Mingyu had a blank expression, a bit shy on his face, and was staring straight ahead.

"Mingyu, what are you looking at?"

Seeing his blushing face, the girl with the high ponytail frowned slightly and waved her hand in front of him.

Finally, the boy slowly came to his senses and murmured something.

"So beautiful, I think I'm in love..." (End of Chapter)
