"Uh..." Bai Mo's laughter stopped abruptly, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Chapter 32 Bai Mo: I've already transmigrated, why do I still have to sit in a classroom and listen to people teach?
“Don’t be so happy yet,” Xi Lian’s smile grew even brighter. “Ms. Aglaia’s actual arrangement is that you, Bai’er, and Xia Die will all go to Tree Garden for further studies together!”
"What?!" Bai Mo suddenly tried to sit up. "Why?! I said I'm not a savior! And if it's about knowledge..."
His eyes lit up. "Sister Xilian! Can you recreate a few more of the old Shutingxian for me..."
"A recurrence?" Xi Lian's tone suddenly rose, and she strode to the bedside, her finger pointing unceremoniously at his still somewhat swollen knee.
"Look at you! Bai Mo! You really think you're invincible now? Huh?!"
"Your life essence has barely touched the threshold of an ordinary Golden Blood! Do you think you are an eternal and immortal demigod like Aglaia? Or a gifted Golden Blood like Bai'er?"
Xi Lian grew angrier as she spoke, "Your leg injury takes a hundred days to recover from! Even a Golden Descendant would need to lie in bed for a month to heal on their own!"
Or are you hoping to heal yourself with your half-baked magic? Do you think you can piece together broken bones and damaged meridians perfectly with your fancy spells without leaving any aftereffects?
"Dream on! Do you want to walk with a limp from now on? Huh?!"
Bai Mo was so disgusted by the spray that he shrank back into the blanket.
Xi Lian took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said seriously, "Ms. Aglaia said that the top healer she knows is currently in Tree Garden!"
Go to Shuting so that she can completely cure this useless leg and prevent any lasting effects!
Secondly, stay put there, learn something useful, make some friends, and don't spend your free time causing trouble with Bai E. Understand?
Seeing Bai Mo's dejected look and Bai E's expression of "escaping death but facing an uncertain future," Xi Lian paused, recalling another of Aglaia's words, and softened her tone slightly:
"Also, Ms. Aglaia specifically mentioned that she remembered her promise and that once your leg is fully healed, she will personally tailor a new outfit for you."
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A crisp, slightly hurried knock on the door broke the silence of the ward in the therapy center.
Bai Mo, who was staring idly at the ceiling, Bai E, who was peeling an apple on the edge of the bed, and Xi Lian, who was watching them, all looked up at the same time.
"Coming!" Xi Lian responded and quickly went to open the door.
When the door was opened a crack and she could see who was standing outside, her beautiful eyes instantly lit up, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
"Oh! It's Teacher Tibao, Teacher Ti'an, Teacher Ti'ning!" Xi Lian's voice instantly became sweeter, filled with undisguised excitement. "Please come in, please come in!?"
She opened the door wide with enthusiasm, as if welcoming the most distinguished guest.
Three small figures with distinct styles stood at the entrance.
"Little Lian~" Tibao said in her childish voice, trying to make her small body seem more reliable, "*Let's* see how Little White and Little Little White are doing!"
"Come in and sit down!" Xi Lian's smile was practically radiant. She quickly stepped aside to make way for the three little cuties, her gaze fixed on them. Especially when she saw the unfamiliar and timid Tining, the light in her eyes could melt ice and snow.
Tian rushed in like a whirlwind, heading straight for Bai Mo's bedside.
"Little Whitey!" She proudly held up the basket high in her hand, tiptoed, and placed it on the bedside table within Bai Mo's reach.
"Tian bought you the cake for the winner that we promised!" The basket emitted an enticing sweet aroma.
"Wow, thank you, Teacher Tian!" Bai Mo looked at the energetic little sun in front of him, and his mood improved a lot, with a genuine smile on his face.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Tian's soft little face. "Teacher Tian still loves me the most."
Tian chuckled, not flinching.
Tibo walked steadily to Bai'er's side and patted his arm.
"Little White," her little face was full of serious concern, "Don't fight with Little White like this next time. It's so dangerous! Look at your nose, and Little White is practically a wooden doll."
She pointed at Bai Mo, speaking in a tone like a little adult.
Bai Er scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and looking at Ti Bao's serious little face, he could only nod clumsily: "Um... I understand, Teacher Ti Bao."
Xi Lian's attention was now completely drawn to the last one, Ti Ning. She knelt down and greeted her in the gentlest tone, "Teacher Ti Ning, come, don't be afraid, come sit over here, okay?" She held out her hand.
Tinning hesitated for a moment, seemingly a little scared.
But not long after, under Xi Lian's "offensive", Tining obediently nestled into Xi Lian's warm embrace.
The three little teachers fussed over the injured person for a long time, and the ward was filled with Tibao's earnest instructions, Ti'an's chattering sharing, and Xilian's gentle comforting voice to Ti Ning.
As the visit was drawing to a close, Tining, who had been quietly nestled in Xilian's arms, gently tugged at Tibao's clothes in a barely audible baby voice:
“Tibao…don’t forget…*we*…are here to find Little White…to open the Hundred Realms Gate…” Her voice was barely audible, tinged with embarrassment, as if she had disturbed everyone’s time of concern.
"Ah! That's right!" Tian was the first to realize, slapping her little head. "I almost forgot about the important thing! Little White!"
She immediately turned to Bai Mo, her big eyes sparkling, "*We* need your help! We just need... to open the Gate of a Hundred Realms!"
Bai Mo couldn't help but laugh at their eager yet adorable expressions: "Is that all? No problem, Teacher Tian. Just tell me the time and place."
"When you're done using it, just send me a message using the communication stone tablet, and I'll close the door immediately." He spoke casually, as if opening a portal across space was as simple as opening an ordinary door.
"Wow—!!!" Tian was so excited she almost jumped up, her little face flushed with excitement. "Little White, you're so amazing! So amazing! You can open and close doors without even going to the location yourself!" She waved her little hands and gestured.
[Golden Finger: I'm finally acting normal! Yes! Actually, Bai Mo is just someone who presses skill icons! I'm the one who actually uses the skills! (Proudly puffs out a chest that doesn't seem to exist)]
Author's note: Shh~ Today I'm using a tsundere cheat ability, don't tell it!
Bai Mo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. He automatically filtered out a certain arrogant prompt and someone's wicked吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks) that flashed through his mind, and gave the three little teachers a reliable smile: "Don't worry, I've got it covered. Time and place?"
Chapter 33 Bai Mo: Quack! You're not my brother!
P.S.: Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone. Three updates to follow.
As you pass through the now-stable Hundred Realms Gate, an air filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, the scent of ancient books, and an indescribable atmosphere of wisdom washes over you.
Beneath Bai Mo's feet was a winding path made of warm stones and living wood, nestled among enormous branches.
"Phew... I can finally get down on the ground." Only after giving Bai Mo a lot of instructions and seeing that Bai Mo was protected by a bunch of protective spells did Xi Lian allow Bai Mo to walk on his own.
Although there is still a slight soreness, it is much better than before.
"Is this the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden?" Bai Mo curiously looked around at the peculiar buildings—they seemed to grow directly from the massive trunks and branches of the tree, blending seamlessly with nature.
Unexpectedly, Bai E started to explain: "Legend has it that the Titan of Reason, Thersis, did not descend to earth in human form, but rather as a 'giant sacred tree' that connects heaven and earth."
He promised humanity that they could stroll, contemplate, and debate in His shade, drawing upon the light of wisdom. Thus, the 'Garden of Enlightenment' took root and sprouted among His branches, eventually becoming a sacred place for wise men to study the Black Tide and pursue the truth. His tone was surprisingly earnest.
Bai Mo immediately took an exaggerated half-step back, pointing at Bai E with a look of "horrified" disbelief: "Hey! What kind of monster are you?! Get off my brother who only knows how to fight and has no common sense! Give him back to me!"
"Hey! Bai Mo!" Bai E's face instantly fell, and he shouted in dissatisfaction, "Don't look down on me! I've heard about it! The instructors here are very strict, and there are a lot of rules! I'm just... doing my homework beforehand!"
"Oh?" Bai Mo raised an eyebrow, leaned closer, and smiled mischievously. "I didn't realize Bai E was so insightful. So... what else? For example, what are the different parts of the Tree Garden? What are its illustrious achievements?"
"Uh..." Bai E's face turned red instantly, and he stammered for a long time, "...That's all."
"No...that's all?!" Bai Mo sighed, rubbing his forehead, and patted Bai E's shoulder forcefully. "Alright, alright, you're still the Bai E I know! Your knowledge base is as 'stable' as ever!"
Xia Die, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, her violet eyes curving into crescents: "I had long heard of the Tree Court's great name, but I never imagined I would arrive in this way. I hadn't even stayed in the Holy City of Ohmma for a few days before Lady Aglaia 'exiled' me here for study."
Her tone was relaxed, clearly indicating that she had become much more at ease after getting to know the Bai brothers. More importantly, she keenly realized that working with these two would provide her with a constant stream of "material" for creating fan fiction.
Just then, at the end of the road, a figure waved excitedly at them: "Here! Here!"
As the crowd approached, they saw that she was a girl with soft, short pink hair, eyes as green as new leaves in spring, and a warm, sunny smile on her face.
Her gaze was sharp, first landing precisely on Bai Mo's right leg, then she spoke familiarly, "Erbao! Diebao! And... um, this Mobao who needs special care! Right? Ms. Aglaia has entrusted you to me!"
"Next, I'll show you around the Tree Garden! Oh dear!" She suddenly slapped her forehead, her smile brightening. "I was so busy talking that I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Feng Jin, I'm the head nurse of the Dim Light Garden, and also an assistant lecturer for the Wisdom Seed School."
Her gaze shifted to Bai Mo, radiating professional confidence: "Mo Bao, leave your leg injury to me! Treating aftereffects is my specialty, whether it's physical pain or other issues."
She winked playfully, "Even if it's just psychological trauma that might be left after some 'intense sparring,' I can handle it!"
The overwhelming enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for Xia Die, who was used to a cool and aloof atmosphere.
Seeing Feng Jin's outstretched hand, she subconsciously clasped her hands tightly behind her back, her small body shrinking back slightly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
"Hmm?" Feng Jin immediately noticed Xia Die's nervousness. Instead of backing down, she took a step forward more enthusiastically, her blue eyes full of concern.
"Butterfly? You look so nervous, are you a little shy? Don't worry, everyone at Tree Garden is very friendly!" As she spoke, she naturally reached out to hold Xia Die's clasped hands.
"No! Lord Feng Jin!" Xia Die cried out in alarm, pulling her hand back behind her back like a startled fawn.
Almost simultaneously, Bai Mo flashed forward and stood in front of Xia Die, gently but firmly blocking Feng Jin's outstretched hand, explaining, "Miss Feng Jin, please stop!"
Feng Jin's hand froze in mid-air, her enthusiasm instantly replaced by astonishment: "Huh? I...did I do something wrong?"
Xia Die lowered her head, her purple hair falling down to cover half of her face, her voice filled with deep disappointment and apology: "No... it's not Lady Feng Jin's fault. It's me... I'm bound by the curse of Cenatos (the Death Titan)."
Every life that comes into physical contact with me... its life force will be ruthlessly taken away. So... that's why..." Her voice grew softer and softer, almost burying itself in her chest.
Feng Jin was stunned, then her face was filled with regret and heartache: "Oh my god! I...I'm so sorry! Butterfly! I was too rash! I didn't know...I..." She explained helplessly, wishing she could take back her outstretched hand and hide it.
After some explanation and apology, the atmosphere finally eased. Feng Jin took a deep breath and put on a warm smile again, but this time with a hint of caution.
"Alright, let's put that little incident behind us! Now, let me, your enthusiastic guide, lead you all on a formal tour of our temple of wisdom—the Garden of Divine Enlightenment!"
She led the three along a vibrant path deeper into the tree garden, beginning her "guided tour" as they walked:
"The Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden gathers the most outstanding wisdom and thirst for knowledge of Onphalus. It is mainly divided into seven schools, representing seven different research directions, just like the seven main branches of a giant tree!"
“First, the Lotus Food School!” Feng Jin pointed to an area where plants of various shapes and sizes grew, some of which emitted strange light, and many students were carefully tending to them or taking notes.
"They focus on studying the plants themselves and their derivatives, from the sustenance of exotic grains to the healing properties of magic vine dew."
“Then there’s the Goat School!” She pointed to another area, where various strange animal cries could be faintly heard.
"They are dedicated to the research, protection, and breeding of rare and exotic animals. Remember the little chimeras in the Ohmma Garden of Life? They owe their success to them!"
Chapter 34 That Moment of Summer: Which unlucky school will be sent by Aglaia? It's so hard to guess!
“Next up is the [Knotting School]!” Feng Jin pointed to a relatively quiet area where students were either working out calculations on a huge sand table or carving complex geometric figures on stone slabs. “They are obsessed with the mysteries of numbers and the truths of geometry, believing that the laws of the world are hidden in points, lines, and planes.”
“The Worship School!” she gestured to an area with solemn stone pillars and altars. “They study ancient rituals, the evolution of laws, and how to maintain order and faith.”
"【The Red Pottery School】!" Feng Jin pointed to an area filled with philosophical atmosphere, where many people were sitting in quiet meditation or engaging in heated debate. "They question the essence of the soul and explore the meaning of existence; they are artists and philosophers at the forefront of the field."
"The Stone-Dragging School!" She pointed to a wide-open space in the distance, from which the faint sounds of shouts and the thud of heavy objects hitting the ground could be heard. "In their own words—'Masters of the study and practice of physical and mental limits'!"
They had now entered the heart of the tree garden. The enormous branches formed natural domes and corridors, and everywhere one could see students hurrying by with heavy books, scholars engaged in heated debates in small groups, and figures immersed in their own worlds of research. The air was filled with the vitality of knowledge.
As Bai Mo listened to these points that he hadn't paid attention to when playing games in his previous life, he nodded and thought to himself, "To put it simply, these schools of thought are agriculture, animal husbandry, mathematics, ritual and history? Art and philosophy? And... physical education?"
"Didn't you say there were seven major schools of thought? Miss Feng Jin, you only introduced six." Bai E, as if he had discovered a key point, asked in confusion.
Bai Mo nudged Bai E lightly with his elbow and said helplessly, "Hey Bai E, were you daydreaming just now? Miss Feng Jin introduced herself as soon as we met—she's a lecturer assistant from the [Intelligent Seed School]!"
He turned to Feng Jin, a curious smile on his face. "However, I'm also very curious, what does the [Intelligent Seed School] research? It sounds very impressive. Could you please tell us more, Miss Feng Jin?"
Feng Jin felt a little embarrassed by Bai Mo's compliment and quickly waved her hand, "Ah, no trouble at all! The [Intelligent Seed School] is actually..."
Just as Feng Jin was enthusiastically preparing to introduce the mysterious [School of Wisdom], a cold, harsh male voice, tinged with obvious displeasure, pierced the atmosphere like an icicle from above:
"Assistant Instructor Yacintes!" The owner of the voice stood high on the spiraling wooden staircase, looking down at them.
"How long are you going to lead these three...tourists and block the main road? The path through the Tree Garden is the lifeline for seekers of knowledge, not a place for your tea parties!"
"Ah! I'm sorry, Professor!" Feng Jin quickly pulled Bai Mo and the others to the side of the road.
Xia walked up to the group, her attention lingering on Bai Mo's legs for a moment.
"What on earth is that woman Aglaia up to? Plunging a bunch of weak and crippled guys into the Tree Garden? Has she finally gone so far as to lose her mind?"
After exchanging a few words with Aglaia, Naksha seemed to be in a much better mood.
"Alright, I wonder which unlucky school of thought will take in the person that woman sent. Also, Assistant Instructor Yacintes, remember we have another class this afternoon! I don't want anyone to be late!"
"Oh, okay, Professor! I'll be on time!" Feng Jin quickly assured him as he walked away.
"Who is that guy?" Bai Er asked curiously after Xia left. "It sounds like... he and Ms. Aglaia don't get along?"
"That is Professor Xia, one of the Seven Sages of Tree Garden, and the founder of the [Intelligent Seed School] that I was just about to mention."
Feng Jin replied, "Professor Xia and Ms. Aglaia had some differences in their views, so... their relationship was a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly right now."
(Xia Die: Her purple eyes gleamed slightly, and she frantically jotted down notes in her inner notebook: Major discovery! The grudges and love-hate relationship between the Guardians of Ohma and the Sages of the Tree Garden! Material +1!)
“Finally,” Feng Jin took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious, “the [Intelligent Seed School] is indeed the most controversial school of thought within the Tree Garden.”
Its core idea, simply put, is—question everything! Question authority, question tradition, question the 'truth' itself that is held as the gold standard. Professor Nakasha believes that true wisdom begins with doubt. Therefore…”
