753: Chapter 166: Scattered Gifts (Part 1) 753: Chapter 166: Scattered Gifts (Part 1) According to the original plan, after watching the movie, they were supposed to have a meal, but this plan was eventually canceled.

Because Mo Xiaofei felt sorry for the class monitor’s current state.

According to Zi Xing, the class monitor needed a few days of rest before her spirit could recover.

After parting ways with Zhuifeng, Mo Xiaofei and the class monitor didn’t discuss the movie any further.

The class monitor was just an ordinary person, muddled throughout the process, and naturally, there wasn’t much to say.

As for Mo Xiaofei…

those extraordinary experiences, if spoken of, would only scare people.

He had no desire to show off his abilities, just wanted to be the Mo Xiaofei his family and friends knew.

On the bus, Mo Xiaofei smelled a light fragrance, and the class monitor fell asleep shortly after boarding.

Her little head rested on his shoulder, perhaps just an unconscious act?

However, Mo Xiaofei didn’t move at all, fearing he might wake the class monitor.

At this moment, he suddenly wished time could stop or, at least, the bus would slow down a bit.

He felt like a knight silently guarding a sleeping princess.

The bus drove past bustling streets, gradually approaching the residential areas, stopping intermittently until it finally reached the stop.

The class monitor was still asleep and didn’t wake up even when the bus stopped.

Mo Xiaofei knew she was mentally exhausted and didn’t want to wake her.

Under the curious eyes of the people on the bus, he helped the class monitor off.

“Really can sleep,” Mo Xiaofei smiled faintly.

After getting off, he carried her forward, as there was still a short distance to her home.

The road wasn’t long, and soon they reached their destination.

Mo Xiaofei put the class monitor down and, seeing her with her eyes still closed, breathing steadily, looking adorable, had an urge to give her a kiss.

The moment this thought was born, Mo Xiaofei slightly lowered his head.

He wanted to kiss those lips, but just as he was about to, he saw the class monitor’s eyelashes tremble, so he took a deep breath and quickly straightened himself.

Thinking it would be taking advantage of someone, it couldn’t really be considered gentlemanly…

but, if he hadn’t noticed she was about to wake, would he have kissed her?

Hmm…

The class monitor murmured, opened her eyes, and was surprised to find herself at her apartment building, “Oh, I’m home already?

How did I get back?”

“Guess?” Mo Xiaofei chuckled, “Slept like a pig.”

“You’re the pig head!” the class monitor huffed twice.

Mo Xiaofei laughed heartily, looking up at the building.

He knew which floor she lived on, and from there, he could see her room’s window.

Though it wasn’t lit, Mo Xiaofei softly said, “Here we are.”

“Uh-huh.” The class monitor nodded lightly, suddenly saying, “I feel like we didn’t do much today, so how am I this tired?”

She yawned again.

Watching the class monitor, Mo Xiaofei felt a surge of emotion and smiled, saying, “Let’s go out again next time?”

He felt he had summoned a lot of courage.

Just like when he acted like a big brother advising Zhuifeng, he couldn’t chicken out now.

At this moment, the class monitor looked seriously at Mo Xiaofei, making him feel a bit guilty—under his nervous gaze, the class monitor finally spoke, “I’ll try to come out less often from now on.”

“I see… uh.” Mo Xiaofei nodded, feeling a bit shocked and disappointed.

“Until… until graduation.” The class monitor suddenly added, then pushed Mo Xiaofei’s chest and ran upstairs.

He only heard her last words as she went inside, “Coward…”

If his hearing weren’t extraordinary, he might not have caught this whisper.

Mo Xiaofei stood dumbfounded before her door, repeatedly recalling her other words in his mind.

Until graduation…

Until everyone matured, no longer needing to be carefully protected, but wholeheartedly nurtured.

Mo Xiaofei took a deep breath, suddenly feeling spirited, and in the moment when no one was watching, soared into the sky, freely roving the city’s night sky.

…

Mo Xiaofei didn’t head home immediately, instead, he went to the pet hospital.

Knowing that Zi Xing had arrived safely, he felt relieved.

Long Xiruo told him she had already learned from Zi Xing what they experienced in the Yan Wuyue World.

In the underground training field, Mo Xiaofei demonstrated to Long Xiruo the ‘gravity’ ability he developed in the Yan Wuyue World, astonishing Long Xiruo.

“This trick is not bad.

If it can reach the level of a thousand mountains pressing down, you could go anywhere outside,” Long Xiruo described the potential of this “gravity” to Mo Xiaofei.

“By the way, teacher.

When I was in the Yan Wuyue World, my mind once entered a wonderful state.” Mo Xiaofei described his situation at that time: “Then I saw a very strange figure from behind, seemingly an ancient person.

But for some reason, even though I was only seeing the back, there was a very familiar feeling…

as if I was looking at myself.”

“Past dreams, flowers in the mirror, moon in the water,” Long Xiruo suddenly said, “What you saw might be your past life.”

“Past life?”

“Haven’t I told you about the theory of true souls and pseudo-souls in the world?” Long Xiruo crossed her legs, “The split of soul and spirit, then finding a new soul.

In that Fragmented World, your spirit was extremely impacted.

Since you are also someone who has stepped into the transcendent, touching some soul memories under extreme conditions isn’t too strange.

By the way, do you remember what the ancient person you saw looked like?”

Mo Xiaofei frowned, unsure, “It seemed like an emperor.”

“Emperor?” Long Xiruo was taken aback, suddenly looked at Mo Xiaofei with a burst of disdain, muttering, “You saw from behind, wouldn’t such vision typically be of someone standing behind the emperor?”

Mo Xiaofei was also taken aback, silently agreeing internally that what his seemingly reliable but not very reliable teacher said made some sense, and frowned, “Could it be a courtier, guard, or something?”

“Hmm, it could also be a eunuch.” Long Xiruo said quite seriously.

Was my past life perhaps a eunuch?

In Mo Xiaofei’s mind, a scene suddenly flashed of him in a eunuch’s attire, with orchid fingertips, voice like a duck, being respectfully called “Eunuch Mo,” and shivered instinctively as the imagery was too vivid!

“Teacher… couldn’t really be a eunuch, right?” Mo Xiaofei wailed as he looked at Long Xiruo.

“How should I know?” Long Xiruo shook her head, “Even I couldn’t see what your past life really was.

But if you really want to know, it’s not impossible.”

“Is there a way?” Mo Xiaofei asked eagerly.

“Why not?” Long Xiruo flaunted her knowledge, snorting, “If you want to know who your past life was, there are at least a few methods.

For example, the Mirror of Three Lives, ranked as one of the top ten divine artifacts in China, captures the essence of the universe and can reflect past and present lives!”

“Teacher!

Is the dimension I’m in an Immortal Cultivation dimension?” Mo Xiaofei wailed.

“Stop interrupting!” Long Xiruo glared at Mo Xiaofei, “But this Mirror of Three Lives has been lost.

Even I can’t sense where it hides.

So this path is not feasible for you.

What’s left is to find a descendant of the Clothed Daoist.”

“Clothed Daoist?”

Long Xiruo nodded, “The Diviner of the Clothed Daoist, who can calculate anything and everything in the world, is a sect of peculiar calculations.

Because they predict so much, each generation of descendants is extremely short-lived, yet the inheritance never ceases, resilient as cockroaches!

Speaking of the Clothed Daoist, there’s a quite famous one.

A few years ago, I even watched TV where someone’s life story was made into a TV series.

Called…

Lai Buyi?

Or Lai Maiyi?”

Thank you, TVB!

Mo Xiaofei praised from the bottom of his heart and hurriedly said, “Then the current generation’s inheritor…”

“The whereabouts of the Clothed Daoist’s inheritors are unknown, practically impossible to find.” Long Xiruo said helplessly, “The Clothed Daoist has a way to shield celestial secrets, even peers cannot predict their whereabouts.”

“Teacher, isn’t this another dead end…” Mo Xiaofei looked at Long Xiruo with a face full of disdain.

“However, I know where you can find the inheritors of the Clothed Daoist.” Long Xiruo suddenly squinted.

Mo Xiaofei simply threw away his integrity, “Teacher, you are the greatest person I have ever seen!”

Long Xiruo snorted coldly, “Soon, it will be the day of the Mount Tai Penglai Conference, those hidden figures are already preparing half a year in advance in China.

For such a major event in China that happens every ten years, the inheritors of the Clothed Daoist cannot resist appearing.”

“Mount Tai…” Mo Xiaofei pondered.

Long Xiruo said calmly, “But you must be prepared, the Clothed Daoist isn’t the kind of street con artist with sunglasses who’d deceive you for ten or eight years, but someone with real skills.

So if you want to invite the Clothed Daoist to help you, the cost will be considerable.”

Mo Xiaofei thought for a moment and abruptly asked, “Teacher, if it’s that shop owner…”

Long Xiruo furrowed her brows but spoke sternly, “Do you have anything else to sell?

If the Clothed Daoist helps you, it might only ask for a request within your capabilities or merely make you owe it a favor, but it won’t be too ruthless.

Because it understands the virtue of leaving room for maneuver in life.

But that shop, it’s not necessarily the case…”

Mo Xiaofei lowly said, “I always feel that the shop owner…

isn’t that bad.”

Long Xiruo sighed, “Treating all lives equally, absolutely fair to all, don’t you find that terrifying?

That can’t be considered human anymore.”

Mo Xiaofei wanted to speak but stopped, finally choosing silence, not continuing the discussion about the shop owner.

At this moment, Long Xiruo lost interest, waved her hand and said, “Alright, you’re also tired today, go back and rest early.

I will handle the Greedy Wolf Clan matters, come tomorrow for cultivation as usual.

As for the Fragmented World issue, forget about it for now, it’s not yet your time to touch it.

Some things are kept from you not out of disrespect or any other reason, but to allow you to focus and not have too many thoughts.”

Mo Xiaofei nodded and exited Long Xiruo’s office.

He soon found Zi Xing, exchanged a few pleasantries, and under the cautious gaze of Lang Yong and Lang Wu of the Greedy Wolf Clan, left awkwardly.

After Mo Xiaofei left, Long Xiruo furrowed her brow, instructed Zi Xing, and quietly went out.

…

…

After visiting Liu Zixing at the hospital, Luo Qiu did not immediately return to the center square to meet Ren Ziling and the others.

Even though at this moment he had returned to the square.

There were people of various kinds, different people, different glows, like an ocean.

Luo Qiu sat on a long bench, silently watching those jubilant people in the square.

He suddenly recalled the day he became the club owner.

He remembered that day, he seemed to be observing the pedestrians on the street, then embarked on a path he could never have imagined.

Luo Qiu lowered his head, turned his palm, a small gift box appeared in his palm.

He pushed his palm upward, and the box slowly rose, subsequently disappearing into the air.

Then another small gift box followed the same procedure and disappeared into the air again.

…

Auntie’s health deteriorated, with the scars left from the twenty-year journey.

She lay on the bed, increasingly waking less often.

Fang Jiping knew her time was short, so now he accompanied her daily.

Naturally, his girlfriend often accompanied him, coming to visit together.

But Auntie no longer recognizes people, sometimes clear, sometimes confused.

Fang Jiping couldn’t say if this was good or bad, yet every time she whispered about Hu Wa, she always laughed beautifully.

Who doesn’t have the world’s most beautiful mother in their memories?

Tonight, Fang Jiping and his girlfriend didn’t go anywhere to celebrate, but came to the hospital as usual.

The girlfriend was heating water, preparing to wipe Auntie’s body, while Fang Jiping inquired about her condition from the doctor…

since the doctor said Auntie’s body was reaching its limit, urging psychological preparation.

No one saw a small box appear beside Auntie’s pillow, opening automatically, with dust-like light scattering from the box, finally adhering to Auntie’s body.

When Fang Jiping dejectedly left the doctor’s office and returned to the ward, he ran into his girlfriend who was returning with water.

The two exchanged a smile, lifted their spirits, and pushed the door open.

Upon entering, both were stunned, for the young couple simultaneously saw Auntie had somehow awakened, now sitting at the bedhead, looking at them.

Her eyes were no longer cloudy.

“Mom!”

Fang Jiping knew she was now clear-headed, recognized him.

…

Zhuge joyfully held his girlfriend’s hand, watching a TV series at home.

She said she disliked going out where it’s only people’s heads, staying at home calmly was better.

Zhuge agreed and said wherever she was, he would be.

Was this considered an outstanding romantic phrase?

It made the girlfriend smile sweetly.

Suddenly a text message arrived on the phone.

“Ugh, so late, promotional messages?”

“Don’t know?

Let me see…” Zhuge reluctantly stood, picked up the phone from the table, quickly glanced, then blinked, “No way!”

“What’s the matter?

Making a fuss?”

“Honey, I think I won a prize!

A week’s trip to Europe!

For two!”

“Huh?”

…

Teacher Wang lay down early, preparing to sleep.

The doctor said, being pregnant requires more rest.

Her belly had grown large, movement inconvenient.

Moreover, she was divorced, single again, even though it was Christmas Eve, she naturally didn’t plan to go anywhere to play.

She touched her belly, showing maternal love, not feeling lonely but slowly falling asleep.

She seemed to dream, returning to her childhood.

In the dream, her sister awaited her at home, she secretly brought back an old soccer ball from school, the sister was thrilled, pouncing on her.
