Chapter 112 Gives You a Surprise

"Junior Brother Xiao, good afternoon."

The following afternoon, Shang Jiuli arrived at Xiao Mo's courtyard.

Xiao Mo, who was reading in the courtyard, looked up, and Bai Ruxue also stopped her needlework and looked out of the courtyard.

The moment Bai Ruxue saw Shang Jiuli, she became wary.

Although Bai Ruxue knew that Xiao Mo and Shang Jiuli had nothing going on, she still felt that Shang Jiuli was a dangerous woman.

A woman's intuition told Bai Ruxue that this person was plotting something against her Xiao Mo.

"Why is Senior Sister here?"

Xiao Mo put down his book, stood up, stepped forward, bowed to Shang Jiuli, and then looked at Bai Ruxue sitting behind him.

Bai Ruxue's cheeks flushed slightly as she clenched her small hands tightly.

But in the end, Bai Ruxue took a deep breath, stepped forward, bowed to Shang Jiuli, and said somewhat reluctantly, "I had some misunderstandings about what happened last night. I apologize to Senior Sister and hope you will forgive me."

"It's alright, I understand," Shang Jiuli said with a smile. "After all, if it were me, I would also misunderstand. But it seems you've explained things clearly, that's good."

"Is there something you need, Senior Sister?" Xiao Mo asked.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll be going to the Confucian Academy with your senior brother Luo to participate in the academy headmaster's assessment. I've come to ask you, junior brother, if you want to come with us?" Shang Jiuli asked.

"Me too?" Xiao Mo didn't quite understand what his senior sister meant. What did it have to do with him if his senior sister and senior brother were taking the assessment?
"Yes."

Shang Jiuli nodded.

"Because you, junior brother, are about to participate in the Gentleman's Assessment, although the list of candidates from the academy has not yet been released, you are sure to be on it. So, let's all go together. This is also what our teacher wants."

However, it seems that Junior Brother will not be able to take Miss Bai there. As long as a disciple of the academy participates in the assessment, neither his page nor his family member can accompany him, not even secretly.

Because the assessment actually begins the moment you leave the academy.

This is the rule of the academy.

"I know." Xiao Mo has been at Bailu Academy for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with the rules of Bailu Academy.

"Then Junior Brother, think it over carefully. If you want to come with us, just tell me tomorrow morning. We'll set off the day after tomorrow morning. Junior Brother can stay at the academy for a few more days and wait for the letter from the academy. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister. Please take care." Xiao Mo bowed and saw her off.

After Shang Jiuli left, Xiao Mo turned around and looked at Bai Ruxue.

"Go."

Just as Xiao Mo was about to speak, Bai Ruxue smiled and said, her understanding manner resembling that of a virtuous wife.

“Anyway, Xiao Mo, you’ll be leaving in a few days anyway. So why don’t you go with Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Shang? That way you can look after each other on the way and I can feel more at ease.”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Aren't you worried that I might have something going on with Senior Sister Shang now?"

"I'm not worried at all. I trust you completely." Bai Ruxue pouted and turned her head away.

Xiao Mo reached out and stroked her hair. "The Gentleman's Assessment usually takes three to four months. During this time, Ru Xue, you can go back to Beihai first, otherwise you'll be bored at Bailu Academy."

"Who said I'm boring?" Bai Ruxue snorted, hands on her hips, looking like she was about to do something while you were away. "Xiao Mo, you don't need to worry about me. Just go to the academy for the exam. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Alright, I'll go then."

"Okay, be careful on the road. I'll give you a surprise when you come back."

"What surprise?"

"Xiao Mo, you're so silly." Bai Ruxue pouted. "If I tell you, will this still be a surprise?" "How about I give you a heads-up?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.

"No!" Bai Ruxue stepped forward and straightened Xiao Mo's clothes. "If you want to know sooner, then come back sooner, understand?"

"understood."

"Good to know. I'll go pack your luggage."

Bai Ruxue turned and ran into the house.

Early the day after tomorrow, Shang Jiuli and Luo Yang will pick up Xiao Mo and take him to the Confucian Academy.

Bai Ruxue saw Xiao Mo off as he gradually disappeared into the distance.

After Xiao Mo left, Bai Ruxue rolled up her sleeves and began cleaning the courtyard.

After cleaning, Bai Ruxue went to Bailu Peak of Bailu Academy.

Bailu Peak is the courtyard where the headmaster of Bailu Academy resides.

"A rare guest indeed."

When Bai Ruxue arrived, the headmaster of Bailu Academy, who was brewing tea in the courtyard, stood up and bowed to her.

"I have met the Lord of the North Sea."

"I have been at your esteemed institution for many years, and it is only now that I have come to visit Mr. Shang. Please forgive me, Mr. Shang." Bai Ruxue bowed slightly.

Bai Ruxue had long known that her identity couldn't be hidden from the dean, but the dean didn't come looking for trouble.

"Miss Bai, you're too kind." Shang Qi stroked his white beard. "I wonder what brings you here, Miss Bai?"

Bai Ruxue didn't mince words with the old scholar and said directly, "I want to do something on a mountain peak north of Bailu Academy, which might cause quite a stir, so I've come to let Mr. Shang know first."

Furthermore, I would also like to request that Mr. Shang issue a notice instructing all disciples of the academy not to approach that mountain peak for the next three months.

"Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Miss Bai." Shang Qi did not ask Bai Ruxue what she wanted to do.

Since the other party has come to greet me, it means it's not a bad thing.

Not to mention, it happened right under their noses.

Moreover, with the great war between humans and demons imminent, doing the Lord of the North Sea a favor is a small act of kindness.

"Then I'll leave it to the Dean. I'll take my leave now." Bai Ruxue nodded.

"Take care, Miss Bai." Shang Qi bowed and saw her off.

But Bai Ruxue stopped after taking only a few steps: "There is one more thing, Dean, you can listen to it casually."

"Please speak, Miss Bai."

“Miss Shang is not young anymore. How can a girl not get married? I know quite a few handsome young men. If Miss Shang is willing, I can act as a matchmaker,” Bai Ruxue said with a smile.

Shang Qi was taken aback, not expecting the Lord of the North Sea to say this to him.

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Bai, but my granddaughter is stubborn. However, when she comes back, I'll talk to her about it. This old man also wants to have another great-grandchild." Shang Qi accepted the other party's kindness.

Bai Ruxue nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.

Watching Bai Ruxue's departing figure, Shang Qi stroked his chin, his mind filled with doubt:

"Why is this Lord of the North Sea suddenly concerned about his granddaughter's marriage?"

[We're about to get into a rhythm, so I'll just outline the main points today. These two chapters will serve as a transition. Starting from the 1st, I'll update four times a day for a month, and I mean it.]
