Chapter 469 I'm Not a Fool (4000 words)
On the morning of the day after Tu Shan Jingci's birthday.

As soon as Xiao Mo woke up, a maid came to the kitchen and took him to a new courtyard.

"From now on, you will live here. It's less than a quarter of an hour's walk from here to Miss's courtyard. Miss will be going to Hanshan Academy in a few days, and you will accompany her as her page."

"In the next few days, you will learn some of the etiquette and common sense of Hanshan Academy."

"At Hanshan Academy, you will encounter many noble students. You must not break the rules, and you must not embarrass the young lady, understand?"

The maid gave Xiao Mo instructions, her expression carrying a hint of disdain.

In fact, the maid couldn't understand why the lady would let a lowly human serve as the young lady's page.

With such a noble status as Miss, what right does this man have to follow her?
"Don't worry, sister, I understand," Xiao Mo replied with a bow.

"As long as you know."

The maid glanced at Xiao Mo one last time, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Standing in the courtyard, Xiao Mo looked around at the place where he would live in the future.

The courtyard is not large, but it's not too small either.

A faint fragrance wafted through the courtyard.

Xiao Mo felt that this must have been a maid's former residence, which she was now living in.

Moreover, a maid who lives in such a courtyard must hold a relatively high position among maids.

"Is Lady Tushan really being too good to herself?"

The more Xiao Mo looked at the courtyard, the more suspicious he felt.

"Forget it, I won't think about any more useless things. I'll just focus on doing my own thing. Maybe Madam Tushan saw that I have quite a bit of talent, so she wants to bribe me."

Xiao Mo shook his head, no longer wanting to think about it.

After all, I have nothing. Even if the other party has something to gain, what could they possibly want from me?

Regardless, I should focus on cultivating myself and improving my spiritual level first.

In this world, only those with sufficient strength have the right to speak and can better survive in this world of demons.

Composing himself, Xiao Mo took out "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet" and continued his cultivation.

After a night's rest, Xiao Mo felt much better.

Although compared to the speed at which Xiao Mo read "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet" on the first day, his reading speed at this moment was like that of a tortoise crawling.

But at least it's moving forward.

When Xiao Mo couldn't read any further, he would start reading the first ten pages from the beginning.

Each time Xiao Mo reads it, he enters a state of enlightenment, having an extremely relaxed and nature-inspired dream.

When Xiao Mo woke up, he could feel that his cultivation had improved somewhat.

Before we knew it, three days had passed.

During these three days, Tu Shan Jingci would come to play with Xiao Mo every day, but each time Tu Shan Jingci would only stay for a short time.

Moreover, as soon as Tu Shan Jingci arrived at Xiao Mo's courtyard, he immediately began to complain to him.

He didn't have the happy look he had before at all.

Because Tu Shan Jingci had heard her mother say that she could go out to play after her birthday.

However, since Tu Shan Jingci was about to go to the academy, she had to learn some rules first, so she had to attend classes at the mansion every day.

Even though she came to see Xiao Mo every day, it was only in time she could find in her busy schedule.

However, despite complaining, Tu Shan Jingci was still diligently learning etiquette and rules.

And the little girl was also very much looking forward to it.

The little girl heard that there were many children her age at the academy.

By going to the academy, Xiao Mo and I can make more friends!
Moreover, my mother said that after I went to the academy, she wouldn't be able to stay with me all the time.

Without my mother's supervision, doesn't that mean I can be carefree and play however I want?
Therefore, compared to the happy life ahead, Tu Shan Jingci felt that it was okay for him to suffer a little now.

Two more days passed.

Finally, the day arrived for heading to the academy.

Lady Tushan piloted a flying boat, taking Tushan Jingci and Xiao Mo to Hanshan Academy.

In the past few days, Xiao Mo has also learned some information about Hanshan Academy.

Hanshan Academy is the only academy in the world of demons.

To date, this academy has only been around for six hundred years, making it a very young institution.

Moreover, when Hanshan Academy was first established, it faced tremendous obstacles.

Although the academy teaches some cultivation methods, its main focus is on Confucianism, which teaches the principles of all things under heaven.

In the eyes of most demons in the Demon Realm, they are born as demons and have no need to learn the so-called Confucianism of the Myriad Laws of the World.

It's not just Confucianism; in the minds of these demons, all that knowledge is considered pedantic and rotten.

After all, our demon race has always been enemies of the human race, yet now we are learning the laws of the world. Isn't that ridiculous?
Humans should have human characteristics, and demons should have demonic traits!
But in the end, because the gap between the world of myriad laws and the world of demons grew wider and wider, the world of demons was even defeated again in the second war between humans and demons.

These two defeats against Wanfa Tianxia caused the Demon Clan to fall into deep thought.

Many demons are pondering the reasons for their defeat.

Many demons believe that the demon realm is too fragmented and lacks any form of education, which is why the demon realm has not made any progress over the years.
As a result, the call for the establishment of academies in the demon realm grew louder and louder.

Learn from others' strengths to gain the upper hand.

Finally, it was an old man named Gui Ning who made the final decision, overcoming all objections, and decided to establish such an academy.

Even now, many demon races are taught etiquette and manners based on the old system of universal laws.

Of course, there are still demons who disdain learning the myriad laws of the world and still retain their old systems and rules.

One side believes the other is too rigid and inflexible.

The other side, on the other hand, felt that the other person's study of the myriad laws of the world was neither human nor demon, and they also disliked it.

Therefore, conflicts sometimes arise between the two sides.

However, when Xiao Mo heard about the second war between humans and demons...

For some reason, Xiao Mo felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite place it.

After about half a day, the flying boat finally arrived at Hanshan Academy.

Xiao Mo gazed at the academy, which occupied more than thirty hilltops, covering an extremely vast area. Moreover, its architecture combined Confucian characteristics with the style of the demon race.

Most importantly, compared to demonic energy.

The air above the academy is filled with the refined atmosphere of literature and art.

Xiao Mo withdrew his gaze and glanced at Tu Shan Jingci beside him again.

The little girl's eyes shone with joy.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This time, Tu Shan Jingci's studies will last for twenty years.

During these twenty years, Tu Shan Jingci was unable to return home and could only live in the academy.

Twenty years later, no matter how well Tu Shan Jingci has learned, he will be asked to leave the mountain when his term is up. Upon entering the academy, Tu Shan Xin Hua revealed his identity, and a disciple led Tu Shan Xin Hua and the others to see the headmaster of Han Shan Academy.

The headmaster of Hanshan Academy is a powerful demon in the late stage of the Immortal Realm.

This dean is a demon cultivator with a ferocious bloodline.

However, he did not retain any demonic characteristics, and he had no demonic aura at all; instead, he was filled with righteous energy!

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the dean of Hanshan Academy, Tu Shan Xin Hua took her daughter to complete the academy's registration procedures.

As evening approached, all matters were settled, and Tu Shan Jingci finally had his own independent little villa.

Xiao Mo, Yue Shi, and two other maids also lived in the separate courtyard.

"Jingci, Mother is going back."

As the sun set, Tu Shan Xin Hua gently brushed her skirt, squatted down, touched her daughter's cheek, and looked at her daughter with reluctance.

"From now on, you must study hard and cultivate yourself diligently in the academy. If anyone bullies you or you encounter any grievances, you can tell your mother, and your mother will definitely stand up for you."

"However, you must not be too naughty and make the teacher angry, nor should you bully your classmates, otherwise Mother will also be angry, understand?"

"I know, Mother." Tu Shan Jingci sniffed, her beautiful fox eyes glistening with tears. "Mother, actually I don't want to study anymore. I want to go back with you and be with you."

Originally, Tu Shan Jingci thought that after going to the academy to study, her mother would not be by her side and no one would take care of her, so she would be very happy and could play however she wanted.

But at this moment, the little girl was extremely reluctant to part with it.

"Silly girl, a girl who doesn't study is ignorant of the ways of the world." Tu Shan Xin Hua gently wiped away the tears from her daughter's eyes. "When you grow up, if you meet a man, you might be deceived without even knowing it. Don't just play around at the academy; you have to be good, understand?"

"I know, I know. Jingci will be good. Mother must come to visit Jingci often." Tushan Jingci sniffed.

"Yes, Mother visits Jingci several times a month."

Tu Shan Xin Hua pinched her daughter's little nose, then stood up and gave Yue Shi and Xiao Mo a few instructions, telling them to take good care of Jing Ci.

Finally, Tu Shan Xin Hua hugged her daughter for a long time before reluctantly leaving the academy.

Watching his mother fly away, Tu Shan Jingci stood there blankly for a long time.

At dinner time, Tu Shan Jingci, who was usually the most enthusiastic eater, lost his appetite and stared at his rice bowl without moving.

Yue Shi persuaded Tu Shan Jing Ci for a long time before he finally ate some.

Soon, night fell.

After bathing in the courtyard's bathhouse, Tu Shan Jingci and the others returned to their rooms to rest.

In the dead of night, the courtyard was quiet and deserted.

Xiao Mo then went into the courtyard, fetched several buckets of cool water, rinsed himself off briefly, and then sat on a stone bench, silently reciting "The Great Dream of Yellow Millet" while absorbing the essence of the moon.

The moonlight gathered around Xiao Mo, forming a faint halo around him.

Half an hour later, a gentle evening breeze brushed past Xiao Mo's nose.

Xiao Mo sniffed, and the air carried a familiar, faint fragrance.

When Xiao Mo opened his eyes, he saw Tu Shan Jingci sitting next to him.

The little girl's large fox tail swayed behind her, and her big, bright eyes looked at Xiao Mo curiously: "Xiao Mo, how come you can glow?"

"This is the reason why I cultivate this technique." Xiao Mo withdrew his spiritual power.

"Cultivation technique? If I cultivate Xiao Mo's cultivation technique, will I be able to glow like you?" Tu Shan Jingci asked curiously.

"It should be possible, but Miss doesn't need to cultivate this technique. Miss's innate technique is already capable of leading to the Great Dao."

Xiao Mo explained.

The bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is just as precious as that of ancient mythical beasts such as the True Dragon, True Phoenix, Teng Snake, Ferocious Beast, and Dijiang.

These mythical beasts possess innate divine abilities in their bloodline, which they automatically comprehend as they age and their cultivation level increases.

Therefore, there is no need to be distracted by learning other techniques.

"Ooh."

Tu Shan Jingci nodded and did not ask any further questions.

She hugged her legs with her arms, rested her fair chin on her knees, and blinked her fox-like eyes at the distant starry sky.

Looking into Tu Shan Jingci's large eyes, Xiao Mo changed the subject and asked with a smile, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet, Miss?"

"I can't sleep."

Tu Shan Jingci puffed out his cheeks, shook his head, and hugged his knees even tighter with his little arms.

“In the past, I always complained that my mother was too strict and controlled everything I did. I always wanted to play as much as I could.”

"But now that my mother is gone, I feel strange instead."

"Xiao Mo." Tu Shan Jingci turned his head and looked into Xiao Mo's eyes. "Am I acting strangely?"

“Not surprising.” Xiao Mo shook his head. “It’s just human nature.”

Tu Shan Jingci: "But I'm not human."

Xiao Mo paused for a moment, then changed his words, saying, "Then it's only natural for demons."

"."

Tu Shan Jingci felt that Xiao Mo was just brushing her off, but she didn't care. After looking away, she rested her chin on her knees and continued:

"Actually, I don't really want to study anymore; I want to go home."

"Although my mother says that girls need to study to be sensible and not be deceived by men in the future, I don't think that makes sense."

"Why?" Xiao Mo asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Mo, you're so stupid!"

Tu Shan Jingci's snow-white, fluffy tail gently patted Xiao Mo's back.

"I'm not stupid, how could I be so easily fooled by a man?"

The only person who can fool me is someone I'll like in the future.

"But since I like him, I'll believe whatever he says, no matter how many books he reads."

"Xiao Mo, do you think what I said is right?"

Hearing the young lady's words, Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "What the young lady said does make some sense."

"Right, right!" Seeing Xiao Mo's approval, Tu Shan Jingci straightened up and said happily, "So, Mother was so silly."

Xiao Mo did not respond, but simply smiled faintly.

"Xiao Mo, are you going to lie to me?" Tu Shan Jingci turned his head to look at Xiao Mo's profile.

"No," Xiao Mo replied.

“I also think you wouldn’t be able to either.” Tu Shan Jingci’s eyes curved into a smile. “Besides, you’re just like your mother, a bit silly. If you’re lying to me, I’ll see right away. I’m very clever.”

"yes."

Xiao Mo nodded, gazing at the distant Milky Way. Beneath the Milky Way, the shadows of the two little ones stretched longer and longer in the courtyard.

"Miss is very clever."
