Chapter 119 Across Mountains and Rivers, You Are There

After leaving the bamboo forest, Xiao Mo recuperated for several days.

Xiao Mo's enlightenment during this period did indeed consume a great deal of his mental energy.

Four days later, Xiao Mo went to Mr. Qi's courtyard to debate with him.

This debate lasted for a full seven days.

Seven days later, Xiao Mo left Mr. Qi's courtyard.

On Xiao Mo's waist hung a plaque that read "Head of the Academy".

For ranks below "Xuegong Siye", the Xuegong Jijiu (academy chief priest) can conduct individual assessments of the disciples and then grant them the corresponding ranks.

However, before that, the chief priest of the academy needs to apply for qualification from the academy.

As early as the day Xiao Mo went to the bamboo forest to comprehend the Dao, Qi Daoming wrote a letter to the academy, hoping to conduct a separate examination of his closed-door disciple.

The Confucian academy agreed and sent Qi Daoming a jade plaque inscribed with "Headmaster of the Academy".

Luo Yang and Shang Jiuli, upon seeing the badge on Xiao Mo's waist, knew without a doubt that their junior brother's scholarship had been recognized by the teacher, and he had even passed the assessment to become the headmaster of the academy.

Shang Jiuli suggested celebrating at a restaurant in town, and Luo Yang nodded in agreement.

"How about you come to my humble abode for a meal, senior brothers and sisters?" Xiao Mo said with a smile. "Ru Xue's cooking skills are quite good. We haven't treated you to a meal in all these years."

"That's a good idea too," Luo Yang agreed. "Why don't we call the teacher together?"

"Forget it, we're young people, it's too awkward to call a teacher. The teacher definitely won't come anyway. Let's go, let's go to our junior brother's courtyard to celebrate. I haven't tasted Miss Bai's cooking yet."

As Shang Jiuli spoke, she took Xiao Mo's arm and walked down the mountain.

Luo Yang shook his head and could only follow.

Standing atop the mountain, Mr. Qi heard his three disciples' conversation and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Although I'm not particularly interested in their gatherings of young people.

But if I could eat a meal prepared by the Lord of the North Sea, I could boast about it later.

"Sigh, this girl is really insensible." Mr. Qi smacked his lips. "Never mind, I'm going to go have a drink with this girl's grandfather."

Not long after, Xiao Mo led the two back to the courtyard.

When Bai Ruxue heard that Xiao Mo had passed Mr. Qi's assessment and become the headmaster of the academy, she was very happy.

As for Xiao Mo's senior brothers and sisters coming to celebrate at her home, as the hostess, she certainly welcomed them and would treat them well.

Bai Ruxue was going to the town at the foot of the mountain to buy some ingredients, and Shang Jiuli went with her.

Xiao Mo and Luo Yang chatted idly in the courtyard.

At noon, Bai Ruxue prepared a table full of dishes.

After Shang Jiuli and Luo Yang ate it, their eyes lit up instantly.

These are all ordinary ingredients; they didn't use any spirit beasts' flesh or blood, nor did they use any spirit plants as supplements, yet they turned out so delicious.

It is evident that the skill of this Lord of the North Sea is truly extraordinary.

Without honing your skills or spending a lot of time cooking, you simply can't make this kind of flavor.

"This is a simple meal, and my cooking skills are just average, so please don't mind, senior brothers and sisters," Bai Ruxue said with a smile.

"Miss Bai, you flatter me. Your cooking skills are among the top three, if not the top five, of all the chefs I've met," Luo Yang said.

"It really is delicious!" Shang Jiuli nodded. "No wonder my junior brother had such high standards when he went out with us. It turns out that Miss Bai has spoiled him."

"You flatter me, both of you. Please have more if you like it." Bai Ruxue smiled happily and secretly raised her fair chin to Xiao Mo.

That proud look seemed to say, "See? I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Xiao Mo understood Bai Ruxue's meaning and smiled and nodded at her.

Bai Ruxue laughed even more happily.

The family dinner lasted for an hour, with Bai Ruxue serving tea and wine to her husband and guests like a virtuous wife. Shang Jiuli and Luo Yang both knew that Bai Ruxue had been taking care of Xiao Mo all these years.

But now, when they see this Lord of the North Sea so capable and attentive, they are still somewhat bewildered.

This is hardly the master of the vast North Sea.

This is clearly a newlywed young wife, isn't it?

Bai Ruxue watched Xiao Mo and his senior brothers and sisters toasting each other, and she was also very happy.

In her past life, Bai Ruxue had fantasized about Xiao Mo drinking and chatting with his peers while she entertained them, watching her Xiao Mo speak eloquently.

Although too many things happened in my past life, and my wishes did not come true.

But in this life, I have fulfilled one of my small wishes.

And Bai Ruxue disliked Shang Jiuli.

But she could sense that both Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Shang genuinely cared about Xiao Mo and truly treated him like family.

After the banquet, Luo Yang, Shang Jiuli, and Xiao Mo bid farewell and went back to their respective courtyards to rest.

After the two left, Xiao Mo helped Ru Xue clear away the dishes.

"Ru Xue, let's get ready, it's time to go down the mountain."

Xiao Mo smiled at Bai Ruxue.

"Huh?" Bai Ruxue blinked. "Are you leaving today? Don't you need to say goodbye to Senior Sister Shang and Senior Brother Luo?"

"No need." Xiao Mo shook his head. "We will all meet again eventually, so why linger on with sadness?"

"Okay, I'll go pack up now."

Bai Ruxue listened to Xiao Mo.

I do whatever Xiao Mo says.

Half an hour later, Bai Ruxue followed Xiao Mo down the mountain.

At the summit of Yu Mo Peak, Shang Jiuli and Luo Yang watched Xiao Mo and the other person gradually leave.

"Aren't you going to see them off?" Luo Yang asked his junior sister beside him.

"No need." Shang Jiuli stretched. "Although we are parting, your name will soon be known throughout the world, and we will meet again soon."

“That’s true.” Luo Yang, holding his sword, turned and left. “I’m leaving too.”

"Where did Senior Brother go?"

"Let's go and take a look at the border of the demon realm."

As Luo Yang's voice faded, his figure vanished.

Within Yu Mo Peak, only the woman remained, sitting atop the mountain, gently swinging her legs, gazing at the world around her, and watching the two figures at the foot of the mountain gradually disappear into the distance.

"By the way, Xiao Mo, where are we going?" Bai Ruxue asked, looking up from the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Mo shook his head: "I don't know either. I'll just wander around and take a look. I'll go to whichever academy I happen to come across."

The woman's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Xiao Mo asked.

Bai Ruxue kicked at a small pebble: "Because the thought of us traveling across mountains and rivers makes me happy!"

Xiao Mo rubbed her head: "Traveling through these thousands of mountains and rivers will be very tiring."

"But it's Xiao Mo."

The woman turned around with her hands behind her back, her skirt swaying gently, and her silver-white hair dancing in the wind.

"Through mountains and rivers, you are always there."
