#371 - One Xiao Mochi, one Lu Xiaoliu - Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

"Burp."

Lu Xiaoliu let out a full burp.

Xu Ming's freshly brewed pot of tea had been completely finished off by Lu Xiaoliu.

Xu Ming even suspected that the other party's praise of his tea art was not just polite, but genuine.

Otherwise, how could he have chugged down his tea like he had just emerged from the desert, never having tasted water before?

But the question arises, is my tea art really that good? Why don't I know?

Of course, the other party wasn't just drinking tea.

Lu Xiaoliu asked Xu Ming about the situation in the Wu Kingdom, about the events that happened in the Tianxuan Sect, and about Xu Ming's family situation.

All of Lu Xiaoliu's inquiries were kept within reasonable bounds, without delving too deeply. If Xu Ming didn't want to say or was vague, he wouldn't press the issue.

Lu Xiaoliu seemed like a normal elder showing concern for a younger generation.

"How is Mo Chi doing recently?" Lu Xiaoliu also felt that he had drunk too much tea and put down his teacup a little embarrassedly.

Xu Ming refilled Lu Xiaoliu's cup and said, "I haven't had much contact with Mr. Xiao, but I did meet him once before. Mr. Xiao seems to be doing well recently, not much different from when he was a child. He hasn't changed at all, as if everything in the court can't affect Mr. Xiao."

"Hahahaha..." Lu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "Mo Chi is the kind of person who won't show anything even if something happens. You may see that he has no changes on the surface, but in reality, he hides everything in his heart."

As he spoke, a hint of helplessness flashed in Lu Xiaoliu's eyes: "That kind of person will only carry everything on his own when he encounters problems. He has been like this since I met him."

Xu Ming didn't say anything, just nodded.

Xu Ming's understanding of Mr. Xiao was definitely not as good as this classmate and friend of Mr. Xiao.

Xu Ming considered his tone and then said, "This junior has heard that with Mr. Xiao's talent, he could even be the Libationer of White Deer Academy. Although it is not impossible for Mr. Xiao to return to the Wu Kingdom, this junior always feels a little regretful. Mr. Xiao seems to have a kind of obsession?"

Indeed, White Deer Academy encourages students to enter the world and gain experience in the officialdom for a period of time.

But in Xu Ming's view, Mr. Xiao was not just completing a mission of experience.

He seemed to really have something to do in the Wu Kingdom.

"Even you, a junior, can see it. I don't know if it's because you are too observant, or if Mo Chi simply didn't hide it well."

Lu Xiaoliu smiled.

"The things that guy is obsessed with are too big.

I heard in the academy that Mo Chi has been deeply favored by the Wu Emperor recently, and all the power has been handed over to Mo Chi to manage, while the Wu Emperor acts as Mo Chi's umbrella.

No matter what happens, the Wu Emperor will bear it for Mo Chi.

But ah, I'm afraid that the Wu Emperor will soon start to guard against him."

Xu Ming frowned: "Is it because Mr. Xiao's power is too great? Does the Wu Emperor feel that he can't control him?"

Lu Xiaoliu shook his head: "If you think so, then you underestimate the Wu Emperor too much. In my opinion, the Wu Emperor is one of the most outstanding monarchs among all the monarchs in the world. He will not harm Mo Chi because of this kind of thing.

The only one who will kill Mo Chi is himself."

Lu Xiaoliu looked at Xu Ming: "Junior Nephew Xu, can you promise me one thing?"

Xu Ming looked at Lu Xiaoliu, knowing that the other party was about to say the main point of this visit.

Xu Ming nodded solemnly: "Uncle Lu, please speak freely."

"If... I mean, if one day... if that guy Xiao Mo Chi is going to die." Lu Xiaoliu looked directly into Xu Ming's eyes, "I hope you can stand by and watch."

Peach Blossom Peak, White Deer Academy.

An old man carried a roll of straw mats up the mountain peak.

"Huff."

The old man spread the straw mat on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, then wiped a handful of sweat, took off his shoes, and lay comfortably on it, looking at the stars in the night sky.

"Senior Brother Dean always has such good taste."

Just as the old man was comfortably blowing the evening breeze and enjoying the night scene, a person flew over.

The Dean of White Deer Academy yawned: "I just think the weather is too hot, so I came to the top of the mountain to blow the wind. How did this become elegant? You scholars, everything you do is said to be elegant, elegant. Is it necessary to say that farting is also elegant?"

Jia Junjie, the Libationer of White Deer Academy, frowned slightly: "Senior Brother, that sentence is not very elegant."

"Too lazy to pay attention to you." Qi Zhengju, the Dean of White Deer Academy, rolled his eyes at Jia Junjie and continued to look at the night scene.

Jia Junjie sat cross-legged next to Qi Zhengju and sighed: "Dean, what conditions did you promise Lu Xiaoliu to send him to the North Sea Dragon Palace?"

In the eyes of many people, being able to represent White Deer Academy to the North Sea Dragon Palace is a very honorable thing, and many people are breaking their heads to go.

And Lu Xiaoliu's mission to the North Sea Dragon Palace, most people think that he has received some kind of favor from the Dean.

But in fact, Lu Xiaoliu actually didn't want to go, but Dean Qi Zhengju and Lu Xiaoliu reached a condition.

"What conditions could there be." Qi Zhengju smiled and shook his head, "Hasn't he always wanted to go to the Western Regions? Then just let him go."

"Dean, if he goes to that place, he may die there." Jia Junjie looked at the Dean beside him.

Qi Zhengju: "If he goes to that place, he may die there, but you say, if we keep him in White Deer Academy, is he 'alive'?"

Jia Junjie: "..."

Qi Zhengju: "Junjie ah, you have to know one thing, I know you are worried about Xiaoliu. You finally accepted two good disciples, one Xiao Mo Chi and one Lu Xiaoliu. They originally had unlimited prospects, but they chose the most helpless path.

Since we can't lock them up, then we can only let go and let them do it themselves.

As for what the result will be in the end...

Who really knows?

Even if they die, so what? Do you think they will regret it?"

Jia Junjie sighed deeply: "How could it be like this..."

Qi Zhengju slowly closed his eyes: "The great world is about to come, everyone has their own tribulation. The things you taught them, they have all learned, and they are practicing it.

They ah, already know what the end will be if they continue on this road."
