We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 103 From now on, I am your senior sister.

Three days after participating in the Bailu Academy selection, Xiao Mo received the letter of admission from Bailu Academy.

Three months later, Xiao Mo was required to report to Bailu Academy.

Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue were not in a hurry.

The two enjoyed sightseeing as they made their way to Bailu Academy.

Xiao Mo took Bai Ruxue to see thousands of temples in the Chu Kingdom, and together they crossed mountains and rivers.

Along the way, the two walked and stopped frequently, not at all like they were going to study.

When Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue arrived at Bailu Academy, it was exactly the day they were supposed to register, neither too early nor too late.

"Junior Brother Xiao, we meet again."

As soon as Xiao Mo stepped into the mountain gate, he heard a woman's cheerful voice.

Shang Jiuli walked towards Xiao Mo with a smile on her face, her expression full of warmth.

"Greetings, Miss Shang." Xiao Mo bowed.

"From now on, you'll have to call me Senior Sister," Shang Jiuli said happily. "I've always wanted a junior brother, and it actually came true!"

"What does Senior Sister Shang mean?" Hearing the other person's words, Xiao Mo vaguely guessed who his teacher was.

"From now on, you will be Mr. Qi's disciple." Shang Jiuli said with a smile. "Mr. Qi has three disciples, including you. One is me, and the other is Senior Brother Lengmian. You met him during the assessment."

“From now on, the three of us will study together.” Shang Jiuli casually reached out her slender hand and patted Xiao Mo’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you, senior sister.”

Just as Shang Jiuli took another step closer, Bai Ruxue pulled Xiao Mo behind her.

"stare--"

Bai Ruxue stood in front of Xiao Mo, her peach blossom eyes warily watching the beautiful woman who was so kind to Xiao Mo.

"Huh?" Shang Jiuli blinked as she looked at the woman in the white dress with long silver hair. "Xiao Mo, is this your family member? There is such a beautiful woman among them."

"Thank you!" Despite the praise, Bai Ruxue was not happy at all. Instead, she guarded Shang Jiuli away from Xiao Mo like a possessive animal. "I am Xiao Mo's childhood sweetheart. We grew up together since we were little! Xiao Mo came to Bailu Academy to study, so I came to take care of him!"

Shang Jiuli looked up at Xiao Mo, as if asking if what the woman said was true.

"Exactly."

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded. Before arriving at Bailu Academy, Bai Ruxue suggested that their relationship be defined as "childhood sweethearts," and Xiao Mo did not refuse.

"Senior Sister Shang, let me introduce you. This is my childhood sweetheart, Bai Ruxue. We come from the same fishing village."

"Ru Xue, this is Mr. Qi's disciple. I met her once when I took the exam."

"Hmph!" Bai Ruxue straightened up, puffed out her chest so high that you couldn't see her toes when she looked down, and looked like she was asserting her dominance.

"I've met Miss Bai."

Shang Jiuli bowed and greeted him.

As a woman, how could Shang Jiuli not know Xiao Mo's childhood sweetheart's feelings?

But Shang Jiuli didn't care; it wasn't like she wanted to steal her man.

"Ru Xue, your senior sister is bowing to you." Xiao Mo gently patted Ru Xue's head.

"I've met Senior Sister Shang."

Although somewhat reluctant, Bai Ruxue still bowed in return.

"Let's go," Shang Jiuli said with a smile. "I'll take you to your lodgings first."

"Excuse me, Senior Sister."

Xiao Mo bowed in greeting.

"You're too kind. After all, you're my junior brother. I'll definitely take good care of you," Shang Jiuli said affectionately.

"Hmph." Bai Ruxue puffed out her cheeks and glanced at Xiao Mo beside her. Xiao Mo felt he had been wronged and could only pretend he knew nothing.

Before long, Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue were taken to a secluded courtyard halfway up Yu Mo Peak.

The courtyard is small, with only two rooms and a small front yard.

However, the courtyard's charm lies in its quiet elegance and its air of scholarly refinement.

Shang Jiuli patiently explained to Xiao Mo, "This Yu Mo Peak is the mountain where Mr. Qi lives. The only people living on this mountain are myself, Senior Brother Lengmian Luo, and the two of you."

I live on the north side of the mountain, while your senior brother Luo lives on the south side, halfway up the mountain.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Although your Senior Brother Luo is aloof and seems like everyone owes him a thousand taels of silver, he's actually a pretty good person.

Xiao Mo nodded, indicating that he had remembered.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother, your name contains the character 'Mo,' so you really are destined to be with Mr. Qi." Shang Jiuli turned around and handed the courtyard sign to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo did not take the sign voluntarily.

Bai Ruxue glanced at Xiao Mo, then accepted the token for him with satisfaction and thanked him.

Shang Jiuli didn't care about the young couple's actions: "Let's go, Xiao Mo, I'll take you to meet your teacher. He'll accept you as his personal disciple, so it'll be a formal apprenticeship."

Logically speaking, a teacher of that seniority should be given a grand ceremony.

However, teachers don't like these things, so you only need to offer the teacher three cups of tea.

You don't need to be shy; our teachers are easygoing, and I'm sure you'll like them.

"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Senior Sister." Xiao Mo nodded, then glanced at Bai Ruxue.

"It's alright, you go ahead, I'll wait here. I can tidy up the courtyard for you while I do so," Bai Ruxue said understandingly.

Although she was still somewhat worried about Xiao Mo and Shang Jiuli being together.

However, Bai Ruxue also knew about etiquette and boundaries, and it would indeed be somewhat impolite for her to go along.

"Okay." Xiao Mo looked directly at Ru Xue. "I'll be back as soon as possible."

"It's alright, no need to worry." Bai Ruxue smiled. "In this academy, would I worry that you'll never come back?"

Xiao Mo smiled, said no more, and followed Senior Sister Shang up the mountain.

At the summit of Yu Mo Peak, Xiao Mo met Mr. Qi and his senior brother.

Under the watchful eyes of his senior brothers and sisters, Xiao Mo served tea to Mr. Qi and formally became a disciple of Mr. Qi's lineage.

Mr. Qi didn't say much to Xiao Mo. He told Xiao Mo to study hard and not to slack off, and then told Xiao Mo to go and rest first. Classes would start the day after tomorrow.

Afterwards, Senior Sister Shang took Xiao Mo to Bailu Academy to register, receive the academy's plaque, and then explained the academy's rules to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo kept each and every one of them in mind.

"Is there anything you don't understand about what I've said? Or is there anything you want to ask me?"

Before Xiao Mo returned to the courtyard, Shang Jiuli asked.

Xiao Mo thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "There is indeed something I am curious about and would like to ask you, Senior Sister."

"Junior brother, please speak frankly." Shang Jiuli was not afraid that his junior brother had a problem; he was afraid that his junior brother had no problem.

If my junior brother has no problems, how can I demonstrate my usefulness as a senior sister?
"To be honest, Senior Sister, I grew up in a fishing village. I once witnessed a dragon undergoing its tribulation, but it perished. I was deeply shocked. I wonder if the academy has any books about dragons undergoing tribulations? I would like to read them in my spare time to relieve my boredom." Xiao Mo's tone was slow and sincere.

"You've come to the right person." Shang Jiuli smiled. "Go to the third floor of the library. The leftmost bookshelf contains books about the Jiaolong and Snake Clan. And, your senior sister can secretly tell you a little secret about the Jiaolong clan."

"A little secret?" Xiao Mo asked curiously.

Shang Jiuli's lips curled up: "Junior brother, do you know why it is so difficult for dragons to overcome their tribulations these days?"
