By the time Su Mu arrived at the affiliated middle school, it was almost time for self-study next evening.
Chun Huyue still had some work to deal with, so she went into the school and asked Su Mu to wait at the school gate. He was an outsider and could not enter or leave the affiliated middle school at will.
After seeing Chun Huyue off, Su Mu stood at the gate of the affiliated middle school, looking curiously.
This school is at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. It looks no different from an ordinary middle school. On both sides of the school gate are various stationery stores, which not only sell stationery, but also some small gifts and snacks. In addition, there are milk tea shops, copy shops, etc.
's shop.
And because it was almost time for school to end, there were still many mobile vendors with carts running here to set up stalls, selling grilled gluten, fried potatoes, grilled sausages and other items.
Many cities now prohibit itinerant vendors from setting up stalls near schools, but Qingchengshan Affiliated Middle School is not in an urban area after all, so the restrictions in this regard are relatively loose.
In addition to the vendors, there are also parents coming to pick up students outside the school gate.
What surprised Su Mu was that not all of these parents were humans, but some were spirits.
Most of these spirits have been able to transform into humans, but some of them have not yet reached the level of skill, and only half of them have transformed into humans. Some have transformed into humans from the top, and some have transformed from the bottom...
So here comes the question, should you choose the top that has transformed into a human form, or the bottom?
Of course, it is not ruled out that some spirits have the ability to completely transform into humans, but are unwilling to do so.
Like the big bear, the pheasant, and a few others, that's how it is.
Su Mu had asked about this before. According to Pheasant's explanation, the main reason was that the five of them were too handsome and beautiful after their transformation, and they were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so they did not transform.
Su Mu has always been skeptical about this explanation.
And among the human parents at the school gate, many are ordinary people.
But they were not afraid or surprised by the monsters around them, they just looked like they were used to it.
Even some familiar human and elf parents gathered together in twos and threes and chatted.
[It seems that in addition to human students, there are also many spirit students in the affiliated middle school. 】
Su Mu used to go to an ordinary middle school. The school was full of humans and there were no monsters. He couldn't help but be curious. If humans and monsters study together, there must be many interesting things happening, right?
If a human student falls in love with a spirit student in school, will some old monk or Taoist priest jump out and say that humans and monsters cannot fall in love in different ways?
I guess there are no old monks or Taoist priests, but there are teachers who catch puppy love. If they are caught, it will be very miserable.
Su Mu was very curious about what these human and elf parents were talking about when they got together, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears and eavesdrop.
"Lao Hu, how did your child do in the monthly exams a few days ago?"
A spirit with some bird feathers on its face and a pair of wings on its back asked the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his expression turned ugly.
"Isn't it just a few days after the school started? The monthly exam was taken? I didn't hear about that bastard. No, I have to ask him tonight! How did your daughter do in the exam?"
"Don't mention it. I cheated with my eagle eye in the exam and copied the papers of the classmates in front of me. The teacher found out and called me in and gave me a severe scolding. He said that he would ask me to do a self-criticism at the next parent-teacher conference.
...You said it wasn’t me who cheated, so why do you want me to make a self-examination?”
Listening to this, it seems that this person's identity must be Yingjiang.
The middle-aged man comforted Yingjiang for a few words, and then the two of them scolded the teacher together...
[It’s not easy to be a teacher these days.] Su Mu sighed in his heart, and heard someone next to him ask him: "Looking at you, are you here to pick up the child?"
He turned around and saw a beautiful and elegant aunt asking him something.
This aunt is also a spirit, but she is not an animal, but a plant spirit. From her long hair, there is a small green branch sprouting, with several pink apricot flowers blooming on it.
Originally, September and October were not supposed to be the time when the apricot flowers bloomed, but considering that the apricot flowers were already in bloom, we naturally could not rely on ordinary circumstances.
"I'm here to pick up my sister." Su Mu replied politely.
Aunt Xinghua nodded: "Let me just say, you look so young, it doesn't look like you have children. Even if you did, you wouldn't be in middle school. But why are you here to pick up your sister? Where are your parents?
"
"They died a few years ago."
"Ah, I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter, it's been several years," Su Mu said.
"It's best if you think so. You have to move forward in life, and you can't stay in sadness all the time." Aunt Xinghua sighed, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Hey, do you have a girlfriend? I
My daughter is studying in junior high school here. When she comes out, will you get to know each other?"
"ah?"
Su Mu was stunned. This topic was too exciting, right? You probably fell in love with me because my parents are both dead and I'm handsome, right?
"Isn't it too early for your daughter to start thinking about a partner when she's just in junior high school?"
I only know that human parents want to push for marriage, but do monster parents also push for marriage? And they are even more anxious than human parents. This is a junior high school student, and he has to rush to find a partner?
Aunt Xinghua said: "It's getting late. Spirits are different from humans. Although my daughter has been incarnate for a few years and just entered junior high school, the age of the tree is still several decades. It should be calculated according to the age of you humans.
, you should have gotten married and become a mother a long time ago. Looking at you, you must be a student of our Qingcheng Mountain Xiuzhen University, right? Our family is also in Qingcheng Mountain.
I work at Seongsan Shujin University. I am also a teaching assistant in the Department of Spiritual Planting. My husband is a researcher in the department and is mainly engaged in research work. What is your major? What are your grades? When will you graduate? Do you have any ideas about your future work?
Where do you plan to make your family? How many children do you want to have? Do you prefer a boy or a girl? Do you want to keep the children older or younger..."
Sumu was completely defeated.
When he heard Aunt Xinghua’s words, he was still thinking: [Now are we talking about family background? It’s too soon. 】
When I heard the series of questions that followed, I suddenly felt overwhelmed and said quickly: "I'm sorry, auntie, I don't plan to consider a girlfriend just yet. Everything is focused on my studies."
Aunt Xinghua rolled her eyes at him, and her tone was a little angry and dissatisfied: "You still call me Auntie."
Otherwise, what do you want me to call you? Mom? Or... honey?
Although you are pretty and have great vision, I still want to rely on my own efforts to work hard...
Su Mu couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, at this time, someone came over to help him out: "Okay, Xinghuajing, he has already said that he should put his studies first and not consider his girlfriend for the time being, so you should stop pestering him."
When Aunt Xinghua saw the person coming, she recognized her. She frowned and said, "Professor Xiao? Does this matter have anything to do with you? Is he your relative or your student?"
The man called Professor Xiao is in his forties, short, thin, and wears glasses.
Hearing Aunt Xinghua's question, Professor Xiao smiled and said, "He is not my student, but he is my nephew, and he is also the young man my teacher values the most. Maybe he will become my teacher's student in the future."
Aunt Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Is he Su Mu?"
After all, she is a staff member of Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University. She has heard some rumors about Su Mu and Wen Wubin, so it is not surprising.
"That's right." Professor Xiao nodded.
Aunt Xinghua's eyes lit up and she became more interested in Sumu.
Those who can be valued by Wen Wubin will definitely have a good salary in the future. If they stay in school as teachers, they will gain fame, status and income.
However, considering Wen Wubin, she did not dare to be as stubborn as Su Mu before. She could only say: "Classmate Su Mu, if you want to fall in love, just tell your aunt... Let's add a WeChat message and leave her a message."
Phone call?"
Su Mu finally added Aunt Xinghua as WeChat friends.
Of course it's not for her daughter, the main reason is that if I need materials for refining medicine in the future and my brothers and sisters can't buy them, maybe I can ask Aunt Xinghua for help.
But he was also very curious, could this spirit get pregnant and give birth to a child if it got married?
If it is possible to give birth, will the child be a human or a spirit? Or a hybrid? And what kind of delivery method will be used to give birth to a child if the plant becomes a spirit? Is it pregnant and delivered like an ordinary human being, or is it still in the body?
Get a result?
Ah, that's so interesting.
"What are you thinking about?" After Professor Xiao dismissed Aunt Xinghua, he waved his hand in front of Su Mu's eyes.
Su Mu quickly calmed down and replied, "I didn't think about anything."
After greeting him, he asked again: "Master, why are you here?"
He had met this uncle in the experimental building of the Department of Alchemy before, and Xu Yue had also introduced him to him. He was one of the few students in the group of students led by Wen Wubin who specialized in elixir research.
Now in the school, in addition to being responsible for teaching advanced courses on elixirs, he also led a research team to work on a project. The research direction is 'the use of violent spiritual energy in alchemy', which is obviously aimed at the increasingly bad secret realm spiritual energy, and
The third secret realm is coming soon.
Professor Xiao smiled and replied: "I have a spiritual beast, and I plan to train it to be an assistant, but before teaching it knowledge about elixirs, it must first learn the basic knowledge. I don't have time to teach it, so
Send it here for education."
"So that's it." Su Mu understood.
[It seems that in the affiliated school, there should be many school teachers’ spirit beasts sent here to study. Little Ye Zi, don’t drool while looking at her ‘classmates’ in the school and have the desire to eat them. 】
Su Mu was a little worried.
After chatting with Professor Xiao for a while, the school bell rang.
Su Mu took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Zizi, telling her that she was at the school gate.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Professor Xiao received his spiritual beast first, which was an unfinished rat with a body somewhat similar to that of a mouse, but with a rabbit head and a long tail.
When the eared mouse came out, it didn't use its four paws to run on the ground, but spread its tail as big as a feather and glided out.
There were two human classmates beside it, chatting while walking.
A classmate said: "After we finish our homework, let's do the rankings together?"
The ear mouse shook his head: "My wife doesn't allow me to play with my mobile phone."
"Your boss is so cruel!" another classmate said.
Seeing Professor Xiao's expression, Su Mu was obviously embarrassed.
But then again, it's no wonder that Professor Xiao wants to train the eared rat as an assistant. This spiritual beast has a high poison resistance and is indeed a very good assistant in the research of elixirs.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Ziye's voice came to his ears: "Brother!"
He turned around and saw Su Ye.
There was also a very beautiful little girl who walked out of school with her.
"Huh?"
Seeing this little girl, Su Mu was slightly startled.
