Chapter 5: What trick?(1/2)
After taking a short rest, Li Xia packed up his things and walked out of the dormitory with his suitcase.
Standing at the school gate, Li Xia looked back for the last time at the place where he had stayed for three years, bidding farewell to his short high school life.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.
Li Xia slowly opened the door.
As soon as you enter the door, you smell a familiar aroma of vegetables.
"Xiao Xia, I'm back." Li Xia's aunt walked out of the kitchen with her apron on, her tone was very gentle.
Li Xia smiled and responded, "Auntie, what are you cooking for?"
"Celebrate your graduation tonight! My aunt specially asked for leave from the hospital and made you your favorite braised fish!"
The aunt walked forward with a smile on her face and took the suitcase from Li Xia's hand.
"Brother! You're back!"
In the room, a childish girl wearing pajamas ran out happily.
It’s Li Xia’s cousin, Su Ling.
"How's it going? Is today going well?"
"It's okay, let's perform normally." Li Xia put on his slippers and said calmly.
"By the way, aunt, I went to Wanling Group for an interview yesterday."
Hearing this, my aunt was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Xiaoxia, you don't want to go to college?"
"I'm not going." Li Xia said nonchalantly, "How can I get into college with my grades? It's good to be a clerk at Wanling Group."
This is the rhetoric that Li Xia had prepared long ago.
"Clerk... is pretty good too." Auntie smiled.
But Su Ling on the side didn't think so, "Brother! You are a person who has awakened Tianyuan-level powers. Even if you can't go to the Demon Slaying Tower, you can go to the City Protection Department, right? Why do you want to be a clerk?"
Li Xia touched the girl's little head and said, "What's so good about those places? It's so tiring to fight and kill all day long."
"That's right!" Auntie quickly took over, "Where are you going to be the Demon Slayer Tower City Protector? It's so dangerous. It's better to be a commoner and live a down-to-earth life!"
Hearing these words, Li Xia felt a little uncomfortable.
In my last life, my aunt also said this.
But at that time, he was so arrogant that he didn't take it to heart and insisted on going to the Demon Slayer Tower.
In the end, he didn't even protect his own family.
In this life, Li Xia swears!
He will never let tragedy happen again!
"…Xiao Xia? Xiao Xia?"
The aunt looked at Li Xia, whose eyes were red, and thought she had said the wrong thing.
Li Xia came back to her senses and rubbed her eyes hurriedly, "Auntie is right! Live your life in a down-to-earth manner!"
The tone is more decisive than ever!
"But brother, you are so powerful, you should do more for the human race!" Su Ling retorted, "When I graduate, I must go to the Demon Slayer Tower!"
"Where are you going? Just know the Demon Slayer Tower! Is there any job in the world like the Demon Slayer Tower?! Can't you contribute to the human race if you go to college well?!"
Before Li Xia could dissuade her, her aunt yelled at Su Ling angrily.
Su Ling rarely got scolded, but on this matter, she would be scolded every time she mentioned it.
Then, she would go back to her room as usual, pouting and looking aggrieved.
"Aunt, don't be too angry. Ling'er is still young. I will slowly persuade her in the future."
Li Xia comforted.
After dinner, Li Xia dragged her tired body back to the room, lay on the bed, and browsed videos leisurely.
Suddenly, a transfer message was received on the small account.
Li Xia opened it and saw that it was from Jiang Xiyan.
[Sailor Moon: Li Qiu, thank you today, this fifty thousand is a little bit of my heart.]
"Is there such a good thing?"
Li Xia was secretly happy that the rich lady was really generous with her money.
After replying "You're welcome", silently click to accept.
[Sailor Moon: Can I treat you to dinner tomorrow? 】
Li Xia frowned.
[The dream of a billion girls: Just eat.]
Jiang Xiyan sent a disappointed emoticon, seeming a little unhappy.
Li Xia ignored it and turned off his phone.
Just when he was about to close his eyes and rest his mind, he suddenly saw a human-shaped black shadow flashing past the window.
Li Xia's heart trembled.
You know, this is the fifteenth floor!
Before I had time to think about it, the figure flashed up again.
This time, he appeared directly in front of the window!
It was a middle-aged man with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Fuck! Wind Team!"
Li Xia stood up suddenly.
What is he doing here? Has he been exposed? Where did I reveal my secret?…
For a time, thousands of thoughts flooded into my mind.
"Dong dong dong..."
Feng Gu knocked on the window and signaled Li Xia to open it.
Li Xia refused in his heart, but if he was not allowed to come in, Feng Gu would definitely break the window and get in according to Feng Gu's bad temper.
It will be difficult to explain to my aunt then.
Thinking of this, Li Xia tidied up her mood, walked slowly to the window, and opened it.
"Who are you?" Li Xia asked angrily.
Feng Gu jumped into the room calmly, looked around, and sat down unceremoniously on Li Xia's computer chair.
"Let me introduce myself, I am the captain of the seventh team of the Linghai branch of the Demon Slayer Tower, Feng Gu."
While talking, Feng Gu handed over a business card.
Li Xia paused, then opened his eyes in surprise.
"Wow! It turns out to be the Wind Team of the Demon Slayer Tower! Your noble feet are on the humble ground, and you really make this humble house shine! Haha..."
Be as artificial as possible.
Feng Gu was immediately speechless.
"No more nonsense, I came to you because I want you to be my apprentice."
"..."
Li Xia was stunned on the spot.
Although Li Xia was indeed Feng Gu's apprentice in his previous life, that was only after he entered the Demon Slaying Tower.
Li Xia is so low-key in this life, why did Feng Gu still find him?!
What the hell is this trick?!
"Why? Don't want to?"
Feng Gu was a little surprised. A normal person would be happy for at least three days and three nights when he heard that he was going to be accepted as a disciple by someone from the Demon Slayer Tower.
But the young man in front of him looked not only unhappy, but even a little repelled.
Li Xia shook his head vigorously, "I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Captain Feng, how can I, a big loser like me, be your apprentice?!"
Feng Gu smiled and did not expose Li Xia.
"What I value is your talent."
