Chapter 836: The Old Friend Is No Longer Here
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Leaving the hospital, Mo Wuji saw that there didn't seem to be many cars on the street. There were, however, streams of people and open shops. Clearly, this city was still considered quite lively.
Perhaps they had grown used to it but the people on the street did not seem to notice the foul air.
An hour later, Mo Wuji and Xian Zhiyang arrived at Xing Wu University. The entrance of Xing Wu University was rather majestic: two towering pillars were erected at the two sides, emanating an imposing aura.
Xian Zhiyang pointed at the three words ”Xing Wu University” and said, ”Qi Shu City's Xing Wu University is not bad, it's one of the top twenty schools in the country. There are even some foreign students that pursue their studies here. I can bring you to the best canteen in the university. It's much cheaper than outside food and it tastes great too.”
Although Mo Wuji couldn't use his spiritual will, he was still an Immortal Emperor with a large scope of vision. The moment he entered the university, he noticed multiple environment cleaning machines. The air within the school was also much cleaner than the outside.
Actually, besides his unfinished business here, Mo Wuji had another reason why he wanted to come to Earth. He could faintly feel that if he wanted to advance beyond the level of the Immortal Emperor Stage, he had to find a resolution to all his matters here on Earth.
Mo Wuji wasn't clear why it was so. He cultivated the Mortal Dao, so he only had a faint feeling regarding this. Thus, Kun Wu could be said to have helped him obtain his wish. When he recovers his cultivation and leaves Earth, he would install an array around Earth. At the same time, he would try to restore Earth's environment to an optimal condition. He could take it as contributing to the land that he was born in.
”We've arrived. It's here.” The canteen that Xian Zhiyang mentioned was actually not far from the school's entrance.
There weren't many people in the canteen. Just as Mo Wuji and Xian Zhiyang entered, they saw two women and one man leave.
”Ya Qi, you're also…” Xian Zhiyang said subconsciously; then his gaze landed on that male student.
Mo Wuji noticed a flustered expression appear on that Ya Qi's face. However, this woman's mental state was not bad; she was able to revert back to normal in a short time.
”Zhiyang, why are you back in school? Didn't you go to the hospital…” This woman called Ya Qi replied with a question. She didn't even finish her sentence.
The male student that was by Ya Qi's side extended his hand and said, ”You should be Xian Zhiyang, right? My name is Feng Nan. I come from Jing Yang Star School. I'm a friend of Ya Qi's.”
Mo Wuji wasn't the same idiot in love that he used to be. The moment he saw that scene, he knew that there was something going on between Xian Zhiyang and this Ya Qi. They might even be in a relationship.
Expectedly, Xian Zhiyang had an unpleasant expression on his face. He didn't respond to Feng Nan, nor did he extend his hand to return Feng Nan's handshake. Instead, he looked at Ya Qi and asked, ”Ya Qi, when I asked you to follow me to the hospital, you said that you wanted to revise for the Star Grade Exam. Why are you here?”
Ya Qi lowered her head awkwardly. An air of silence fell over them. After some time, she suddenly lifted her head and said, ”Fellow student Zhiyang, you should know that I'm going to graduate this year. Going to Planet Diyuan has always been my only dream.”
She didn't go on any further. Even Mo Wuji understood what she was implying: Xian Zhiyang didn't meet her standards. Xian Zhiyang was probably a reserve. Since she had already met another one, she had to choose between the two.
”Xian Zhiyang, you're really lacking in manners. There's no need to talk about how Ya Qi isn't your girlfriend. Even if she is, you shouldn't be so disrespectful to her classmates. This isn't about the details, doing this would not be any good to your future,” The other female student frowned and said.
That Ya Qi had a short hair and a round face. Even though she could be considered pretty, she was only a little above average. The girl that was scolding Xian Zhiyang, however, was much better. Her figure was slender, her skin was translucent and white, her facial features were refined, and her long hair reached her shoulders. She was much better than Ya Qi.
Xian Zhiyang's face was slightly pale. Clearly, his heart was disturbed.
Even though Mo Wuji knew that Xian Zhiyang's previous actions were indeed without grace, he still laughed and patted Xian Zhiyang's shoulder, ”Zhiyang, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. You don’t have to care too much about some matters.”
It was unknown whether Zhiyang had thought it through by himself, or Mo Wuji's words had taken effect. He looked at Ya Qi with a hint of reluctance, then he turned to that slender woman and said, ”Tan Zhenman, you're right. I'm not even in a close relationship with Ya Qi. I was simply overthinking it.”
After saying this, Xian Zhiyang said to Mo Wuji, ”Mo Wuji, let's go and have a good meal. My school canteen's mountain pelican is especially tasty.”
”That's the way. Let's go.” Mo Wuji appreciated Xian Zhiyang's carefree and straightforward attitude
”You're called Mo Wuji?” That woman called Tan Zhenman suddenly exclaimed.
Mo Wuji nodded, ”That's right, I'm called Mo Wuji. Is there anything wrong?”
He didn't believe that Tan Zhenman recognised him. He had already left years for several decades. Moreover, he had wholeheartedly immersed himself in the research of herbs and plants back when he was here. His only red threads were with Wen Xiaoqi, who had a one-sided love for him, and Xia Ruoyin, who stabbed him in the back.
”Oh, it's nothing. It's just that the name 'Mo Wuji’ is too famous. That’s why I was momentarily shocked,” Tan Zhenman reacted and replied apologetically.
