Arcelora glanced at her phone, put down what she was doing, and headed to the dock with the Night Demon.
Shijana, who arrived at the dock first before Acerola, looked at Kexi with distress, who had obviously lost a lot of weight and was covered in dust.
It has been some time since Kexi left the island. In order to find what he really wanted to do, his short trip was full of ups and downs.
Kexi, who was shy and soft-spoken when he left, was much the same when he came back, but at least he could feel that his overall mental outlook had changed.
It was because he didn't know how to take care of his own life that Kesi's clothes were wrinkled when he came back.
"Don't you shake your clothes after washing them?" Acerola pinched the corner of Kesi's clothes and made a shaking motion.
"Shake it a bit to make the clothes smoother."
Kexi touched his head in embarrassment and said sheepishly: "Is this still possible...Thank you for telling me."
Shijana and Acerola sighed in unison.
After all, he is a child who grew up in a greenhouse. His knowledge and moral character are not impressive, but the details of his life are very poor.
Luther will get married tomorrow, and Kexi also hurried back from Binhai City.
Shijana didn't know what Kesi had done, nor how important it was to Kesi. After she inadvertently saw the small wounds on the back of Kesi's hands and wrists, Shijana
Very angry, insisting that Kexi was bullied outside and must find his way back to the situation.
Arcelora looked disapproving and motioned Kesi to take a shower first and then gather in the library.
Compared to Shijana's excitement, Acerola, who knew what happened, seemed very calm.
"People who are about to start traveling, can you please stop being so excited and control your emotions, otherwise you will suffer big losses soon."
"When you are away from home, you are in two situations: in front of others and behind others. It is best to restrain your emotions in front of others. This will maximize the chance for people who are interested in you to give up."
She was clearly her junior sister, but Shijana didn't dare not listen to Acerola's words.
My master also said this about suffering a big loss, and after he said it, he suffered a very threatening defeat in a wild fight.
Now Shijana dare not forget any useful advice for her travel safety.
She must return to Qidao safely and spend every important festival with everyone.
You can't make everyone sad because of your recklessness!
Oonio was originally blowing the cold wind on the roof of the library and watching the moon with Gengar. He immediately ran down after hearing Acerola's greeting.
Ma Li asked Geng Gui to help her find it. She trained very hard after getting Xuwuid, and often practiced with Xuwuid until late at night.
If Luther hadn't knocked her on the head and told her to take a rest, she would have been a night wanderer, just like Sirona.
Practicing hard always pays off, and Kikuno and Cattleya have repeatedly praised Ma Li for her rapid progress.
In order to help Ma Li better grasp the rhythm of the battle, Yang Bai, who was on annual leave, also gave her a special training.
The four of them gathered in the library. Aselora listened to the footsteps approaching outside the door and reminded: "Ma Li and I already know almost everything about what is going to be discussed later, so you can just listen with peace of mind."
"When he finishes speaking and leaves, I will explain to you."
Onio and Shijana, who were in the mist, just tilted their heads and looked at each other with confusion.
But one thing became clear to them: Acerola and Mary secretly did something related to Kexi's trip.
Kexi was wearing a gray down jacket after taking a shower. His wet hair had not been wiped clean in time, and it was a little dry and stiff due to the wind, as if his head was covered with weeds.
Gengar couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up a wet towel, floated it over and wiped it with Kesi.
After noticing, Kesi blushed and explained: "I came here in a hurry, so..."
Everyone didn't mind, after all, they were all waiting for what Kexi would say next.
"You have been out for such a long time. Tell me, what have you encountered outside? Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"
Arcelora's straight-to-the-point words stunned Kesi for a while. After a long time, Kesi laughed at himself: "It doesn't really matter what I encounter... After I left my grandma and Qidao, I discovered that I really have nothing."
meeting."
Kexi's departure was tacitly approved by Luther. A person who was too confused wanted to find his own future direction and made a positive decision, so he had to support it no matter what.
After leaving Qidao, Kexi's first stop was Binhai City.
The pace of life in this seaside town closest to Qidao is very slow, and it does seem to be a good choice for Kexi.
However, Kesi, who registered for the entrustment software, soon discovered an embarrassing thing.
Although there are many commissions on the platform, there are very few things you can do.
Luther and Mira were able to sweep all kinds of commissions on the entire commissioning platform at that time because he was strong, experienced and could do anything.
It was Kexi's turn and he had to choose for a long time to find a few things he could do.
Following the vine monster he conquered when he left the island, Kexi began his daily commission.
Help evict the Ratat family who invaded the home and stayed in the mezzanine and refused to leave.
Mediate the problem of agate jellyfish invading beach bathing beaches in Binhai City.
Fight against the trap bear and flying mantis who broke into the private house...
Trivial things happened one after another. These commissions, which were nothing serious to Luther and Mira, brought great challenges to Kexi.
Cauchy's completion has been criticized by his clients.
Take the task of expelling agate jellyfish, for example. The agate jellyfish on the beach were not completely driven out of the beach by Kesi and the vine monster he carried.
Kexi, who was guarding the beach, encountered a stinging jellyfish that night and came to cause trouble. He was caught off guard and was injured in the battle.
The client did not want to pay Kexi the compensation at first, but because of Kexi's injury, he had no choice but to pay the full amount.
Kexi, who had not completed the project but received the full amount, did not want to be pitied, but he could not bear the thought of returning the money.
When he was away from home, he realized that making a living was not an easy task. He had little money at that time, and even if he didn't think about himself, he still had to think about the vine monsters he brought out after conquering Qidao.
It's okay to starve yourself, but it's a pity that I don't want the creeper monster to suffer too.
From then on, Kexi no longer accepted too difficult commissions, but only chose simple small jobs to earn some casual money.
Kexi didn't know that all of this was actually seen by Acerola.
After she encountered obstacles in Kesi, she quickly issued a commission to follow the elf scholar to the islands near Binhai City to conduct elf observation.
This commission was carefully planned by Arcelora, with the purpose of guiding Kexi to try the path of an elf scholar that he once hoped to become, but did not dare to try due to family reasons.
This commission happened to appear in the small commission area, and the conditions given were also very harsh, including food and accommodation, and some alliance coins as reward.
Ordinary trainers will hardly take a look at such an outrageous commission, and bounty hunters who scan tasks on the commission platform will not be interested.
So this task remained until the day when Kexi searched for it.
During this period, Kexi was bullied by a trainer who was also looking for a life in Binhai City because his commission evaluation was not very good.
"You obviously don't know anything, but you just want to grab the client. It's a waste of the client's time."
When this arrogant little group mocked Kexi wantonly, Kexi did not choose to bow his head. Instead, he revealed the core reason why these people bullied him.
"You are not feeling sorry for the client's time, you just feel that I have robbed you of your money and opportunities."
"You are actually similar to me. You are useless people and can only do small things to get by."
"Bullying others can make you feel that you are a better person for a short time, and humiliating others can give you short-term pleasure, so you are here."
If Luther was behind Cauchy, what he said would be a blast.
Every word can vividly separate the most painful and concealed hearts of this group of people.
Kexi is different from these people. Although he cannot do many things well, he is an educated person with excellent moral character after all.
Therefore, Kexi didn't quite understand what those at the bottom would do after their fig leaf was torn off.
When Kexi was beaten, he neither released the vine monster nor told Qidao afterwards.
Releasing the vine monster would only injure the vine monster. The incident was caused by him, and he didn't want to implicate this little guy.
As for saying hello to Qidao...
Kexi felt that this was the path of choice. If everyone on Qidao knew that he was being bullied, they would probably interrupt his test.
Kexi wanted to rely on himself to find what he was pursuing, so he stubbornly regarded Qidao as an "external force" and tried to avoid it as much as possible.
Little did they know that Kexi's every move in Binhai City was actually under Qidao's nose.
Arcelora asked him to go to Binhai City because the trio had roots there, and there was also the local leader Denji, the Binhai City Gym Leader.
Musashi was already angry and wanted to rush out when Kesi was beaten. Her high sense of identification with Qidao's identity made her unable to see one of her own being bullied.
However, Meow Meow, Kojiro, and Guo Ranweng all pulled her hard.
Meow Meow warned anxiously: "If Kesi knows that we are secretly observing him, all our efforts will be in vain."
"That's right, Musashi. If you think about Kexi's temperament, he had tolerated being cheated on the entrusted funds before, and he was still unwilling to tell Luther and the others..."
Miaomiao continued what Kojiro said: "If a person with this temper sees us coming forward, he will definitely feel that we are protecting him. Then he will feel very frustrated. If you go out, Kexi will be beaten even more."
It’s so uncomfortable!”
The impulsive Musashi was stopped, and the trio watched Kexi being beaten and watched him return to the rented place to tend to his wounds.
It's very sad, this kind of life is so much like my old self.
The Rockets have almost zero support for themselves, and they have to fight for everything themselves.
Every time I failed in an action and was injured in the wild, I had to take care of it myself, without any external help at all.
It wasn't until he entered Qidao and was taken seriously by other people on Qidao and entrusted with important responsibilities that this wandering life came to an end.
Kojiro understands Kesi very well, and he can even see his past self in Kesi.
His favorable family conditions were abandoned, and he would rather start from scratch and live the way he wanted.
The same is true for Kexi. He tortured himself so much just to find what he should do. This was a search for self-worth, and the process was very painful.
When the trio's call came to Luther, Luther was silent for a long time.
"How did they beat Kexi? Just give it back twice as much. It's best not to leave a tail... It doesn't matter if you leave it. I will take care of it."
There is no comparison between ruffians and villains from the past.
Kexi's bully was quickly warmly received by the trio, and sure enough, Weng even got addicted to returning punches during the fight.
Kexi, who was injured and unable to accept the commission, also saw the elf observation commission that night.
Although Kexi has a temper like cotton and is very soft, he is usually very strong.
Seeing this commission, he shed tears inexplicably.
I have been in Binhai City for so many days and have looked for so many commissions, all of which are unfamiliar to me and not good at.
When the client asked if he had any experience, Kexi could only reply nervously: "I will definitely work hard."
Except for the words "efforts", he seemed to be unable to come up with anything that could prove his usefulness.
This strong sense of frustration and powerlessness made Kexi feel even more useless.
Everyone on Qidao is so outstanding, but I...
Am I really that much worse than them?
The repeated inner struggle caused Kexi's pain to spiral, and the drama of affirming and denying himself was performed every day.
But just when self-denial had taken over, Kexi saw a commission that he was most suitable to accept in many days.
Elf Watch!
All that is needed is sufficient knowledge of elves.
As the grandson of Xizhu and living in a family of scholars, this is the most familiar and cordial commission for him.
"I'm not a good-for-nothing person!"
"I can do this commission!"
Arcelora may not have thought that her carefully planned commission would pull Kexi out of his slump when he was about to complete his self-denial.
Like a drowning man grasping for a life-saving straw, Kesi quickly accepted the commission. Regardless of his injuries, he directly found the scholar who issued the commission and recommended himself on the spot.
According to the description of the scholar who was summoned by Arcelora, although Kexi stood in front of him with a bruise on his face, his tone, rhythm, and precise word choice made him look like an outstanding scholar.
.
That kind of self-confidence from the inside out deeply infected him. Even if he was not the one asked by Acerola, he would accept it without hesitation when meeting such a person.
So Kexi followed the journey arranged by Acerola and took the first step to become an elf scholar.
This step was very bumpy for Kexi, but he finally made a start.
"Sorry...I couldn't bring some gifts back to Luther." Kesi said guiltily.
Acerola and Mary looked at each other and smiled.
"Tell Master about your experience. This is definitely the best gift."
