Chapter 357 Farewell

PreviousBack to directoryNext
So this thing just passed?

On the way back to Jinchengfang, Li Ang was still a little confused.

Apart from the need to hand in the Zhao Ming token and write an extremely detailed written report on several contacts with Zhao Ming, there is no punishment from the Academy.

There is no expulsion from school and no prison observation.

Even Li Ang's expectation that he needed to hand over alienated objects such as ink silk and Xumi hourglass to Dongjun Tower for research did not happen.

I always feel like...something's not quite right.

Li Ang smacked his lips.

Mosi silk is so special that it can trap even the dark insects.

The Sumeru hourglass is even more of a magical weapon of the Buddha. Even if the sands of time are completely exhausted and cannot be used, its potential value is far higher than ordinary ones.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this...lift it high and put it down gently.

Could it be that the mountain leader knows some information that he doesn’t know?

After much deliberation, he still couldn't figure it out. Li Ang shook his head, ignored it, and walked straight to Jinchengfang.

First, Mo Si lost control, then she witnessed the death of her friends, and then she used the Xumi hourglass to turn the tide.

So many things happened in just one day, and now he just wants to lie in bed and have a good sleep.

————

When he woke up in the morning, Li Ang was a little surprised to find that Chang'an newspapers were printing normally and published an official notice about the fire at the Qiqiao Festival last night.

According to the court, the attack was planned by the Demon Cult.

They use methods such as solicitation, bribery, threats, inducements, etc.

Controlling part of the city gate guards and low-level officials,

Let them open the door and send the giant toothed whale oil into Chang'an City in batches disguised as inkstones and coal.

The disaster was caused by craftsmen mixing whale oil into the fireworks.

Demonic sect is a general term. Broadly speaking, all remnants of the former Sui sects and current Jianghu sects that are not recognized by the academy can be called demonic sects.

It has many branches and a huge number,

It is true that they will use common people and officials to cause unrest. They will even use alienated objects to launch direct attacks.

Therefore, no one will doubt this statement.

'I've always heard that state governments would use the excuse of demonic cultivator attacks. Officials were corrupt and the state warehouses couldn't keep up with their accounts, so they simply burned down the warehouses and falsely claimed that demonic cultivators were attacking. Now it's the Chang'an court's turn to do this.'
Li Ang shook his head and continued to read the newspaper, and then saw an article that Cardinal Xinxiu was about to lead the mission back to Mount Taihao.

‘So fast?’

Li Ang raised his eyebrows. According to the original plan, the Taihao Mountain Mission should stay for a few more days and wait for the farewell ceremony to be held in the academy before leaving.

In the last reincarnation, Cardinal Xinxiu was controlled by the dark bug at close range, and in the end he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

But this time, Cardinal Xinxiu was transferred away early in the morning, and he probably didn't even know about the existence of the Dark Worm.

Could it be that the mountain chief has already transferred Zhao Ming’s information to Taihao Mountain? Do you want to join forces to deal with Zhao Ming?

Li Ang frowned slightly, thoughtfully. Zhao Ming's original plan to control Cardinal Xinxiu's self-destruction was likely to trigger a conflict and war between Yu State and Taihao Mountain.

If both sides can shelve their disputes before new threats, that would be good news indeed.

Speaking of which, Jun Qianzi, Situ Zhi, Yuan Sou, and Ghost Spade, there are four Zhuxiao monks on the table, which shows how strong Zhao Ming is.

However, what reasons did the organizers behind them use to win over these rebellious Zhuxiao monks? It is impossible to really want to change the world like Yajiu said, right?

Li Ang shook his head and covered the newspaper. The newspaper was turned upside down, and a text message the size of a square was printed in the corner - Affected by the fire, the water source of Xingqing Palace's Longchi was polluted, and construction needed to be started to clean it up.

————

A few days passed quickly, and finally, the academic exchange officially ended and the day of separation arrived.

The diplomatic missions from various countries arrived outside Jinguang Gate, loaded onto carriages and saluted for their return trip.

Although the relationship between Yu State and Zhou, Jing and other countries is subtle, it does not affect the exchanges between students.

Being together for more than half a year has also given birth to many friendships. I don’t know how long it will take until we meet again.

Some people broke off willow branches on the roadside and said goodbye with tears.

Some people recited poems, gave each other gifts, and agreed to maintain correspondence.

"Okay, just send it here."

Jia Luo, who had changed back into the clothes he had come with, stood beside the carriage, stuck out his tongue, and said to everyone who came to see Li Ang off.

"Be sure to write a letter back when you go to the grassland."

Chai Chai said with mixed emotions, "The two countries have vast territories, and it may take more than half a month to send a letter, so we must write more.

This is the pearl rice I bought for you to make porridge. It is not convenient to grow food on the grassland, so you may not be able to eat it when you go back.

There are also pickles, bacon, and desserts from Chang'an...

Oh, by the way, there are also rouge and perfume from Chang'an City."

She counted on her fingers and kept putting things on the carriage with her mind.

Jialuo looked at the dazzling array of goods in the carriage, dumbfounded.

Actually...the grassland is not as scarce in materials as Chang'an people imagined,

There have always been merchants selling goods from the Yu Kingdom to the royal court, and there are also markets in the border towns where people from both countries gather. It’s okay to eat some Yu Kingdom cooking.

Jialuo wanted to say something, but stopped when he reached his lips.

Indeed, the territory between the two countries is so vast that no matter how many business trips there are, it is impossible for them to live in the same city as Chang'an.

Li Leling, Qiu Feng and the others also gave farewell gifts, and they both hugged each other, feeling a little sad and melancholy.

This time we say goodbye, I don’t know when we will see each other again.

"Leon,"

Jia Luo was silent for a moment, then summoned up the courage to whisper: "Can you accompany me for a walk alone?"

"Okay."

Li Ang took a deep breath. He listened to Chai Chai about the Qiqiao Festival and knew the shameful words Chai Chai said with his voice.

Although my balls hurt, there was nothing I could do.

The two walked silently along the river bank. The river was slow, the sun was bright, and the summer cicadas were chirping shamelessly.

"That..."

Jialuo said softly: "Don't pay attention to the nonsense I said on the night of the Qiqiao Festival."

"Ah? Oh, um..."

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded hesitantly. He didn't know how to answer this sentence.

"Wolf Garden is the same as the Academy. It takes seven years to graduate."

Jia Luo tilted his head and said: "The next time we meet, it may be four years later. If I come to Chang'an then, don't fail to recognize me."

"Maybe not?"

Li Ang thought for a while and answered uncertainly. He was really not sure about the eighteenth transformation of a woman.

"Humph, wouldn't you say 'definitely not'? I have to leave, and you can't even make me happy."

Jialuo curled his lips and muttered "idiot" in a low voice.

Li Ang scratched his head. When he mentioned the name idiot, the first thing that came to his mind was an ape with a stick and a pig with a rake.
