Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Qin Xiao opened his eyes.

Last night, Mo Hanyu shouted that he wanted to sleep in the same bed as before. After being ruthlessly rejected by Qin Xiao, he still shamelessly insisted on sleeping in his bed. Qin Xiao got really annoyed in the end and showed an angry look on his face. Only then did Mo Hanyu obediently return to his own bed.

Someone was showering in the bathroom. Qin Xiao rubbed his hair, still a little dazed. He walked to the sink, rinsed his face with cold water, and brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth.

With water in his mouth, the door of the bathroom at the side opened, and it was Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was only wearing shorts and was stunned when he saw him.

Qin Xiao glanced at him and spat out the water in his mouth.

Chen Mo did not wear an eye patch. His other eye, which was often covered, was the opposite color of his normal eye. He vaguely remembered that he was born with yin-yang pupils, but only one of them.

The bangs that always drooped down were turned up wetly, revealing a smooth forehead. Chen Mo had a baby face, and his facial features were a little dull due to long-term expressionlessness.

Qin Xiao glanced at his shoulders with obvious muscular bulges and felt a little more admiration for his physique.

Chen Mo noticed his stare at him, and although he didn't say anything, he looked a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his neck to cover it up and put the cup on the side of the sink.

He didn't say anything, so Qin Xiao naturally didn't say anything. He quickly washed up and went to wake Mo Hanyu up.

"Wait a little longer... there's no class today."

Mo Hanyu hummed and hugged his thighs, acting coquettishly.

"Didn't we say we were going to have a sparring match today?" Qin Xiao tried to pull his arm down for the nth time. But Mo Hanyu was like an octopus, holding onto his pants tightly, as if he would not stop until he pulled them down.

Chen Mo had a complicated expression on his face. He opened his mouth and said nothing, then turned and left.

"Get up!" Seeing Chen Mo leave the door, Qin Xiao was unwilling to give Mo Hanyu face anymore. He slapped him on the back with a crisp sound and said, "Let's go eat."

"Ouch! It hurts!" Mo Hanyu turned over and sat up, rubbing his back while looking at him dissatisfiedly, "Can't you be a little gentler?"

"…Then I'll leave by myself."

Qin Xiao's patience finally ran out and he turned around to leave.

"Hey, hey, wait for me!" Mo Hanyu pulled his pants down again, "Wait for me! You don't even know where the cafeteria is!"

……

Mo Hanyu washed and dressed very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to go out.

"Our dean said he was going to ask us to order the school uniform, but he's nowhere to be seen yet." Mo Hanyu chatted with him as they walked, and skillfully pulled Qin Xiao's collar to stop him from turning, "This way."

"It seems that there were very few students before." Qin Xiao broke free from his hand.

"Yeah, it seems there were only two before this year."

"Two? Then Chen Mo and the others aren't—"

"No, Chen Mo and the others just came this year." Mo Hanyu yawned. As soon as he walked out of the house, he shivered in the mountain breeze blowing in his face. He felt that the mountains were getting cooler.

"Our dean is also quite interesting. He named it Jade. He said that he didn't want those precious jades to be treated as stubborn stones, abandoned in the mountains, and go astray." Mo Hanyu narrowed his eyes, as if he saw someone, "That's the one I told you about, Shen Youge."

Qin Xiao followed his gaze and saw a young man sitting not far away. The young man was sitting in a wheelchair, and it seemed that his legs and feet were in trouble. His long hair hung down to his shoulders, half black and half white, half combed up. The cool breeze blew his hair away, revealing a calm and gentle face.

"Han Yu." The young man greeted them with a smile, as if in the spring breeze, "You... are Xiao, right?"

Qin Xiao was stunned, looked into his gentle and bright eyes, and paused: "My name is Qin Xiao."

"Hello, my name is Shen Youge." Shen Youge's voice is gentle, always giving people a clear and warm feeling like soft water, "Welcome."

"...Thank you." Qin Xiao didn't know how to respond and could only say thank you.

Shen Youge smiled at him and said nothing more.

"Let's go eat, what about you?" Mo Hanyu looked at him and asked.

"I'll go later." Shen Youge replied.

"Okay." Mo Hanyu said nothing more and left with Qin Xiao.

"He..." After walking a distance, Qin Xiao couldn't help but look back at the boy sitting in the wheelchair. The boy leaned slightly, sitting there quietly, looking a little desolate under the gloomy sky.

"He should be waiting for someone." Mo Hanyu didn't look back, and pulled Qin Xiao forward, "Let's go."

Qin Xiao paused and said nothing more.

When we arrived at the cafeteria, we found that it was also very spacious. Although there were few people, more than half of the tables were empty.

Qin Xiao glanced around and found that there were only five people in the room, including the man at the window.

Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu went to get breakfast together. The man at the window smiled at him kindly, and the scar on his face looked a little hideous.

Qin Xiao paused, then nodded in response.

"Who is he?" After sitting down with Mo Hanyu, Qin Xiao took a bite of the fluffy and soft steamed bun and found that there was stuffing inside.

Still sweet.

Qin Xiao drank a sip of milk and looked at Mo Hanyu.

"He is the dean."

Qin Xiao was choked and coughed violently a few times.

"This……"

"He cooked all our meals." Mo Hanyu remained calm and tapped the magic egg in his hand. It was an egg laid by a magic bird called Tianyuluan, the size of a palm, with two layers of eggshell, and it was very troublesome to peel.

"...quite hardworking." Qin Xiao was silent for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Mo Hanyu couldn't help but laugh: "He has helpers, but most of the time it's other people who do it."

"Oh oh..." Qin Xiao nodded.

As we were talking, someone sat down next to us.

It was Qiu Puryue, and there was also a girl whom he had never seen before.

"Qin Xiao, long time no see." Qiu Puryue sat down next to Qin Xiao and greeted him with a smile, "I was wondering why Yin Xihui was so mysterious and said that someone he knew was here."

"Ah... yes." Qin Xiao glanced at the girl sitting next to Mo Hanyu opposite him, and then looked at Qiu Puryue, the meaning was self-evident.

"Her name is Lan Huaiqiu." Qiu Puryue understood and introduced her to him, "She's very good, and she plays the piano beautifully."

Qin Xiao: ...

When Qin Xiao heard her talk about this, he couldn't help but think of those Qi cultivators who had the attributes of playing musical instruments that he had seen before. Then he thought of the sound of her playing the flute, and his expression became a little complicated.

"I... I'm fine. Isn't your attribute to be a musical instrument? Why haven't I seen you play it?" Lan Huaiqiu scratched his head embarrassedly and changed the subject.

But when they heard her question, Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu both looked indescribable.

"...What's wrong?" Lan Huaiqiu was puzzled.

"Ahem... let's not talk about this." Mo Hanyu glanced at Qiu Puyue implicitly, and seeing that she was not unhappy, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Huaiqiu was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. He turned around and studied his food.

Qin Xiao just watched her knocking for a long time without breaking the outer layer of eggshell.

Lan Huaiqiu thought no one was paying attention, so he knocked for a long time and found that there was not even a crack. He frowned and wanted to crush it again.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao suspected that she didn't know how to peel the shell.

But he didn't point it out. He picked up his egg, knocked it on the table twice, and started peeling it.

Sure enough, Lan Huaiqiu noticed him, knocked the apple twice like him, and peeled the shell carefully.

Then Qin Xiao saw her peel off the outer shell and sip the egg white. She looked puzzled at the inner shell and turned it around in her hand for a few times. She was puzzled at first, then suspicious, and finally tried to take a bite, but found that she couldn't bite it.

Qin Xiao: ...

The inner shell of this magic egg is much harder than the outer shell. It was so hard that she bit it without any teeth breaking.

Lan Huaiqiu seemed to feel some pain from the bite, so he covered his cheek secretly and glanced at them secretly.

Qin Xiao shifted his gaze and looked at Mo Hanyu who was talking to Qiu Puyue.

Mo Hanyu was caught off guard and met his gaze, feeling a little confused.

Qin Xiao ignored him. Feeling Lan Huaiqiu withdraw his gaze, he looked over again.

She is still working on that shell.

Qin Xiao covered his eyes and wanted to laugh.

Just when Qin Xiao couldn't help but want to tell her, a hand suddenly reached out and took the egg from Lan Huaiqiu's hand.

Lan Huaiqiu and Qin Xiao looked up. A young man put the money into his pocket without any hesitation.

"After I peeled it, I felt like I had too much, so I wanted to save it for lunch. Since you haven't peeled it yet, it's a good opportunity for us to swap."

Having said that, without waiting for Lan Huaiqiu to react, he threw the white, tender and smooth boiled egg with a little egg shell left into her bowl, turned around and left, touching her hair by the way.

"Mo Hanyu, see you later!" The boy made a heart shape towards Mo Hanyu before leaving.

"...Get lost." Mo Hanyu was rarely impatient.

After being scolded, the boy was not angry at all, but became even happier.

Qin Xiao blinked and looked at Lan Huaiqiu who was still in a daze.

For some reason, the tips of the girl's ears were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood.

Are your ears cold?

Qin Xiao rubbed the tip of his ear, feeling a little strange.

It’s not cold.

"He is Miao Kaijie." Mo Hanyu saw him in a daze and thought he was thinking about the young man, so he said unhappily.

Qin Xiao came back to his senses and looked at him: "He is very familiar with you?"

"He's just being naughty." Mo Hanyu got angry when he thought of him, "He's always so dishonest."

Qin Xiao looked at the angry Mo Hanyu, caught a glimpse of Lan Huaiqiu eating in small bites, smiled, and said nothing.

"The first match is between Mo Hanyu and Miao Kaijie."

Qin Xiao strolled around for a while after dinner, and chatted with Yin Xihui and Tian Miao for a few words. When he saw that it was time, he followed Mo Hanyu to the competition venue and sat with everyone else.

Xia Wuliao brought a blackboard from somewhere and wrote down the opponents and time on it. Qin Xiao looked and found that he was in the last match, and his opponent was Lan Huaiqiu.

Hearing Xia Wule's words, Mo Hanyu jumped down and stood at one end of the competition arena, looking at the person slowly sliding down at the other end with an unfriendly expression.

The young man named Miao Kaijie seemed to have one arm and one leg resting on something, and he slowly slid down to the competition arena from a high place.

Qin Xiao looked closely and found that there was a thread as thin as a spider silk stuck between his arm and the inner side of his knee.

His attributes?

Qin Xiao recalled the scene he encountered in the mountains and made a judgment in his mind.

"Oh, so handsome! This way of appearing..." Miao Kaijie looked at Mo Hanyu with a smile and teased, "If you don't know, you would think that there is a loved one on it, trying hard to show off."

This mouth is indeed...

Qin Xiao looked at the bulging blue veins on Mo Hanyu's neck and thought secretly.

"You slide down so slowly, are you afraid that the water in your brain will pour out if you slide down faster?" Mo Hanyu retorted sarcastically.

"Oh, look, you just don't listen to the class." Miao Kaijie looked helpless and clapped his hands to explain to him helplessly, "First of all... there is more than just water in your brain, and secondly-"

The leisurely standing figure suddenly disappeared, and before he could react, he was already in front of him, punching straight into his face.

"——You need a ladle to pour out your head."

When his fist touched the cold palm, Miao Kaijie raised his eyebrows and blasted out with his hidden strength. Mo Hanyu slid back a few steps.

"Very good, you caught it." Miao Kaijie praised.

"I don't need your praise!" Mo Hanyu's palms were frozen, and in the blink of an eye the ice spread to his arms.

Miao Kaijie was not panicked, and still had a playful and calm look on his face.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly.

Miao Kaijie pulled back. The thread tightened, breaking the ice in an instant, and flew towards Mo Hanyu like a snake.

Mo Hanyu raised his hand and blasted out several ice cones. The next second, the ice cones were cut open by the sharp silk thread. The extremely flexible silk thread flew towards Mo Hanyu unstoppably.

Mo Hanyu's eyes became fierce, and he snorted coldly. The ice under his feet spread, covering the entire field in an instant. Miao Kaijie paused, and the ice formed under his feet and began to crawl towards his legs and knees.

Good flexibility.

Qin Xiao watched the two people competing from above and admired Miao Kaijie's silk thread.

Not only his attributes, his body's flexibility... is also very good.

Qin Xiao looked at Miao Kaijie, who was almost twisted into a knot in a close fight with Mo Hanyu, and nodded secretly.

The last person he had seen who could make this kind of body movement was Meng Liyun, but she had practiced bone shrinking, which Miao Kaijie obviously had not.

He is simply weak-willed.

Although the bones are soft, the force is still strong and powerful. When used with punches, it often has unexpected effects.

Mo Hanyu has also become stronger. His use of attributes has greatly improved. And it is not an illusion. The temperature is also lower.

Qin Xiao glanced at the sky where snowflakes were beginning to fall, and felt a little emotional.

We haven't fought each other for many years.

He and Mo Hanyu.

Let’s make an appointment to discuss it someday.

He also wanted to see what level he could reach using only the means of this life.

Back to the game, although the process was a bit dangerous, Mo Hanyu still won and punched him hard in the face.

"Hehe... like a little girl who got angry and embarrassed after being criticized." Miao Kaijie was still teasing without knowing the consequences.

"I really wouldn't be surprised if you die in your own mouth one day." Xia Wule, who rescued him, sighed.

Miao Kaijie chuckled, staggered to his feet, stretched his muscles, and then shouted that he was fine and wanted to sit in the audience to watch the fun.

Mo Hanyu's punch did not make him feel better at all. Instead, he became even angrier because of Qin Xiao's indifferent attitude. He sat down next to Qin Xiao angrily, crossing his arms.

"How is it?" Qin Xiao asked him.

"Just tell me if he deserves a beating for what he said—"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Qin Xiao looked towards the field. Yin Xihui and Tian Miao, the next players, had already come to the sidelines and were ready to start.

"How did you feel when you fought him?"

"It felt..." Mo Hanyu recalled, frowning, "It was slippery, like grabbing something in a ball of cotton stuffed with steel needles. It was very tricky."

"I know what you want to say. His physical skills are indeed good, and his strength is also very good..." Mo Hanyu said, lowering his eyes, "Are you interested in him?"

"Yes, there are some." Qin Xiao was staring at Miao Kaijie, who was bandaging his wound with a grimace below him, and said softly, "Have you forgotten that he is not an evil cultivator?"

Mo Hanyu paused, realized the implication of Qin Xiao's words, and bit his lower lip unwillingly.

Even though I don't like him, I have to admit his strength. Such a person...

He doesn't have very strong attributes, nor does he have a perverted cultivation speed like a natural evil cultivator, but he can still make him feel a sense of crisis. Such a person...

It is indeed worthy of attention.
