Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 37 Master - Slaying the Void

"Coming."

Luo Yunbo's sudden voice interrupted Mo Xie's recollection, pulling him back from his thoughts.

Looking ahead, one mountain after another comes into view.

The mountains and forests are lush and deep, with dense foliage and overgrown weeds nearby, and distant peaks scattered amidst thick clouds.

One of the isolated mountains is Xuefeng Mountain, and the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station is located in the valley between Xuefeng Mountain and Leiyu Mountain.

Xuefeng Mountain Station, though called a small village, is not a simple village at all.

The post station was flanked by incredibly steep cliffs, hundreds of meters high, where one could only see the sky by looking completely upwards.

The cliffs on both sides form natural barriers, and the valley path is further blocked by two huge stone gates at the front and back.

The entire post station village is essentially a fortified town nestled in a valley.

The SUV slowly came to a stop outside the inn, and Mo Xie jumped out of the vehicle.

There were sentry posts on both sides of the imposing stone gate, among which a military mages stood out from the rest of the group.

Although he was wearing the uniform of a military mage, he lay on a flat boulder as if nothing had happened.

With a blade of grass clenched in his mouth, hands behind his head, legs crossed, he leisurely basked in the sun.

What's even stranger is that the surrounding sentries didn't react much, as if the person was expected to do so.

He turned his head to look when he heard the engine shut off.

He spotted Moye standing there at a glance. He spat out the foxtail grass, excitedly jumped off the boulder, and strode towards Moye.

"Oh, look who's here! Isn't this my precious apprentice? Let your master give you a hug."

As he spoke, Zhan Kong naturally opened his arms, as if he really wanted to give Mo Xie a hug.

Mo Xie shoved Zhan Kong away, her disdain evident on her face.

"What's wrong? You're starting to complain now."

"Ugh, how disgusting is it for a grown man to want to hug you!"

"I'm your master!"

"I didn't admit it. It was clearly you who kept pestering me, okay?"

When Zhan Kong asked her this question, Mo Xie gave an answer immediately.

"No."

When Zhan Kong heard Mo Xie utter those two words, his face turned completely green.

He kept saying things like "Don't be ungrateful" and explained the various benefits of being his apprentice.

Mo Xie didn't really feel anything about these things; he just found them a bit troublesome.

Later, when Zhan Kong saw that Mo Xie was no longer speaking, he began to pester her relentlessly.

Regardless of whether Mo Xie agreed or not, he always referred to himself as Mo Xie's master.

Actually, Zhan Kong had a bit of selfish motives. Mo Xie might have several teachers in the future, but he was the only master she could have.

Thinking of this, Zhan Kong laughed, but did not ask for a hug again. Instead, he put his arm around Mo Xie's shoulder.

"It was bound to happen sooner or later, it was bound to happen sooner or later... Never mind, let me take you inside first."

Zhan Kong, carrying Mo Xie, walked through the gate without any hindrance.

What puzzled Mo Xie was that the sentries looked at him strangely, as if... as if they were looking at an enemy.

His intuition clearly sensed that those people harbored strong ill will towards him.

"What happened to them?"

Mo Xie asked Zhan Kong.

"Haha... Ignore them."

I have a feeling you're hiding something... Mo Xie thought, seeing the expression on Zhan Kong's face.

Luo Yunbo, who was standing to the side, whispered something in Mo Xie's ear while carrying his backpack.

"Didn't I say this on the way here? Boss Zhan Kong is taking his anger out on us because you didn't come. Do you think they'll be friendly to you?"

"cough!"

Zhan Kong glared at Luo Yunbo, displeased that he had spoken nonsense.

Mo Xie's eye twitched; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

He glanced helplessly at Zhan Kong, sighed, and realized he still needed time to integrate into their group.

Xiaozhai is very simple, with only one main road. There are many shops and stalls along the main road, which looks no different from the market in a town.

However, what's sold here isn't chicken, duck, or fish, but rather things that mages need for battle and training.

The main road was bustling with activity. Along the way, Zhan Kong led Mo Xie to a dormitory building, listening to the shouts of the vendors.

"Look, how's this room? Are you satisfied?"

The door to the room was pushed open, and Mo Xie looked around before nodding. The bedroom was very tidy, clearly having been carefully cleaned beforehand.

"Okay, it's almost noon. After we're all done, I'll take you to have lunch."

There wasn't much to tidy up the room; the bedding and other necessities were all prepared, and there was just enough space to put some things in it.

After leaving the dormitory building, Zhan Kong and Mo Xie went to the cafeteria.

They brought out two dishes and sat down at a table to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Zhan Kong suddenly spoke up.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I'm hosting a party tonight, remember to come and meet us."

"Oh, why are there so many things going on?"

"Of course, you are my apprentice, so this is a welcome party for you, and I also want everyone to relax a bit."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Mo Xie nodded and agreed to go.

After lunch, Zhan Kong left first, as he still had some things to take care of. Before leaving, he reminded everyone to get some rest.

Although he never asked for my permission before calling himself my master, if he really were a master, he would be quite competent.

Mo Xie didn't plan to go back to the dormitory now. Since she was here, she should take a look around first.

Last time I left too early and didn't have time to look around. This time I'll be staying here for about a month, so I need to get familiar with it.

After wandering around for about an hour, Mo Xie returned to her dormitory to meditate.

The only thing he would insist on doing every day was cultivation.

After cultivating until about five o'clock, Mo Xie slowly walked out of the dormitory.

Evening, the central square of Xuefeng Mountain Station.

At this moment, lanterns adorn the central square, and everyone is busy at work.

But no one complained; instead, they all wore happy smiles.

Rows of large round tables were set up in the square, with all sorts of dishes on them.

Mo Xie went to the kitchen, found some ingredients, and joined them.

The head chef was a little confused at first, but after glancing at Mo Xie, he looked away.

This young man's cooking skills are far superior to mine!

Watching the chef's exquisite knife skills and skillful wok tossing, the head chef couldn't help but secretly marvel.

After cooking several dishes, Mo Xie brought them all to the small table he and Zhan Kong were sitting on.

Zhan Kong picked up a piece of meat, savored it carefully, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow, you're such a good cook!"

"You underestimate me too much, don't you?"

"Why don't you cook for me more often in the future? That way I won't have to spend a lot of money and I can still enjoy delicious food."

"I know you're praising me, but you're dreaming too much."

Mo Xie rolled her eyes at him and started eating as well.

"As your teacher, what's wrong with me cooking you two dishes?"

"hehe."

Mo Xie simply chuckled at Zhan Kong's shamelessness.

"Want to be my mentor? Sure."

Moye stretched out her hand and laid it out in front of him.

"Master, is it too much for me to ask for some high-quality cultivation resources lately?"

"Uh, well... I'm a little short on cash lately."

Zhan Kong scratched his head awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"But don't worry, I'll give you these cultivation resources tomorrow."

Mo Xie raised an eyebrow at Zhan Kong's confidence.

"Actually, one of the main reasons I called you here today is that I wanted to introduce you to someone."

"To see people?"

Mo Xie looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Keep it a secret for now, you'll find out tomorrow."

Zhan Kong smiled and said mysteriously.

My new book is out! Please support it! I'm asking for recommendations, favorites, and monthly votes!

Can you guess who this person is?
