Dou Po: My days as a mentor at Canaan College

Chapter 117 Gossip
"Ah? This... shouldn't be the case? That girl Xiao Yue still looks very self-respecting and self-loving, how can she sleep with others casually?"

"What do you know? That's a master pharmacist! If you win the favor of a pharmacist, they will give you some benefits afterwards, and you will be able to eat and drink for the rest of your life!"

"I see, that girl Xiao Yue usually pretends to be dignified, she might be a queen, she's so coquettish, so cheap!"

……

The building is not made of good materials, and the sound insulation is weak.

Not long after Xiao Yue returned home, one after another the voices of people talking from behind the neighbors came in through the walls of the house.

tom!
Xiao Yue's mother put down the soup bowl trembling all over, gritted her teeth and stood up tremblingly.

"Ahem...cough! I...I'll tear their mouths off!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly stopped her. As for her mother's current physical condition, if it passed, I'm afraid she would be there today.

"Mom, those people are like that, it's not a day or two to like to talk about others behind their backs! Why do you have to get angry with them..."

She said with red eyes.

On the couch, being stopped by her own daughter, the anger in her heart just now dissipated a lot, and the woman turned powerless and sighed:

"Oh, it's your mother... Cough! Cough..., it's useless to be a mother. You have suffered so much superciliousness and cowardice over the years..."

Amidst her mother's sighs, Xiao Yue clutched the corner of her clothes, her small mouth was tightly pressed, her eyes were filled with mist, and tears were gradually forming.

"Mother, how can I blame you for this, it's...it's not your fault at all..."

Xiao Yue's voice became hoarse at some point, tending to whimper.

not because of you...

reason……

The daughter's words came into her ears, and the woman's thin and weak body shook, silently, she slowly turned her head away.

Yeah, it's not her reason.

This family has come to this point, the bottom line is because of that heartless man many years ago...

"Xiao Qi! You are cruel, you have hurt our mother and daughter!!! Cough! Cough cough..."

In the heart, the sorrow accumulated for many years was suddenly pulled, and finally couldn't hold it back, it burst out like a flood that opened the gate in an instant, and the woman leaned over on the couch, crying loudly.

pat!

pat...

Before the bed, Xiao Yue raised her cheeks slightly, trying to stop the tears from falling.

However, sometimes when emotions come, no matter whether it is tears or smiles, they cannot be hidden.

……

Neighbors, I don't know if those women who gossip and gossip all day long heard the movement in the house here. In short, the discussion suddenly stopped.

……

inside the house.

Time passed quietly amidst crying.

At some point, the mother and daughter embraced each other and wept together.

But when the so-called tears are exhausted, at the back, the mother and daughter are tired from crying, and they cuddle together, motionless.

Wait until the sky outside the window dims.

On the couch, Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes, and looked at her mother beside her dimly.

It turned out that after the two mothers were tired, they fell asleep without knowing it.

Feeling the sound of her mother's breathing that seemed to be more even than usual when she was resting, Xiao Yue got up carefully and went to bed.

Back in her own room next to her, she inexplicably recalled what Liu Xi, the scum alchemist in the eyes of the world in Wutan City, said to her during the day:

"...You don't have to wait here. It's good to spend more time on cultivation when you go back. Don't give up on cultivation. You are still young and there are still many possibilities in the future. Although you are put on small shoes for a while, you won't really think about it. Do you want to serve people all your life?"

"Don't give up on cultivation..."

Xiao Yue murmured softly, repeating these words in her mouth.

creak~
Suddenly, she pushed open the window of the room, and the slightly confused eyes looked out.

At this time, except for the bright lights in the surrounding buildings, the rest was pitch black. However, she raised her head slightly and looked at the sky above her head. It just so happened that the moon disk that had been covered by clouds before gradually faded away. It was revealed, and the bright moonlight swayed and landed on this piece of heaven and earth.

extraordinary.

Tonight's moon is getting full.

It looks full and solid.

At this moment, the moonlight that parted the clouds seemed to shine into the depths of her heart through her eyes.

-

At this time, Liu Xi, who was also in Xiao's house, but in the other courtyard in the luxurious central building complex, was cross-legged on top of the slump, maintaining a posture with his heart turned to the sky. Since he came back to now, he has completed The movement of the five major celestial circles of the exercise.

"call……"

Slowly exhaling a foul breath, Liu Xi closed his eyes and closed his skills.

"Today's battle qi cultivation has exceeded two hours. Sure enough, after this time, the efficiency of battle qi growth has slowed down a lot."

Sensing the fighting spirit in his body, Liu Xi said to himself.

He guessed that the reason for this situation should be a kind of self-protection of the meridians and veins of the human body, to avoid excessive breathing and training, and let the fighting energy pass through these places frequently without rest, which may cause some sequelae.

Therefore, he just noticed that when he practiced fighting qi for more than two hours today, the movement of fighting qi in all the veins in his body suddenly froze a lot.

Originally, he might be able to run a big cycle in less than half an hour, but after exceeding that time limit, the speed suddenly became unbearably slow, and it might take more than an hour to complete a big cycle. sky.

"In this case, those pills, medicines and even the special cultivation environment that can keep people in a state of high-intensity battle qi cultivation are extremely precious..."

Jump out of bed.

Just because he stopped fighting qi training doesn't mean he has nothing to do, such as refining medicine, and that earth-level fighting skill that can barely be regarded as the first glimpse of the court.

Taking out the long sword bought at Mittel's auction house from the ring, Liu Xi walked out of the house, went to the open-air yard, stood still, and planned to perform the basic sword weapon twice to warm up.

……

In the middle of the open-air courtyard, Liu Xi stood with a sword in his face in a daze. He was quite caught off guard by a series of electronically synthesized sounds from the system that suddenly sounded in his mind.

What does "Xiao Family·Xiao Yue" change in mood due to the host's words?

What did he do to him?
Ah? ? ?
