A light snowfall hit Yanjing, and the entire city was covered with scattered snowflakes. A peaceful atmosphere enveloped the entire city. The people of the entire country breathed a sigh of relief because of the frequent good news about the undead cultivators.
The strength test two days ago completely overturned everyone's understanding of cultivation in Star Academy. The young man whose silver spear flashed through the entire academy was now in a tavern outside the Apprentice Academy.
"David, Kepeng and I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen..."
Fa Kequn looked a little embarrassed because he and Kepeng wrote two letters of apology for not watching David Mo's proficiency test two days ago. Unexpectedly, David Mo directly asked them out today.
David Mo waved his hand. He already knew what happened. Instead of being angry, he was moved by what the two of them did.
"It's okay. Although it's a pity, fortunately, I should still be in Yanjing after graduation. The three of us will have a long time together."
During his proficiency test, Fa Kequn and Ke Peng were guarding the Temple of Light, and when they learned that David Mo was about to take part in the test, the two of them ran away together that day to cheer for David Mo.
Unfortunately, they were reported not long after they left. The supervising teacher stopped them halfway, and each of them wrote a 3,000-word self-criticism and was fined with a day of solitary confinement.
He later heard Alpha Bin mention this matter, and after receiving their letter of apology, he understood the whole ins and outs. Although he was a little helpless, there was nothing he could do about it.
He felt funny in his heart about Alpha Bin's deliberate attempt to please him. The earl's son, who was so arrogant at first, was now as obedient as a kitten in front of him.
Although he felt that Almeline was involved, his own strength also established his position in Alphabin's heart. Later, Almeline even scolded him. As a descendant of a dignified second-class earl,
How unbecoming is it to be a follower behind a woman?
As for Ilivi's reaction, David Mo didn't care at all at the time. Now he is no longer willing to care about these insignificant people.
"David, where will you be assigned after graduation? Is there any news in the school?" Kirk Peng had a drink with him and asked curiously.
Now that he has come out of his emotional pain, he has never been as depressed as before. Fa Kequn obeyed David Mo's instructions and did not tell him what happened that day.
David Mo sighed, now two days have passed, and there is still no news from the school: "Not yet, it shouldn't be so soon."
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said hesitantly: "As for where to go... of course I want to go to the Royal Central Forbidden Army. That should be the destination that every man desires."
Kirk Peng nodded, with a somewhat envious look in his eyes: "If you go to the Royal Forbidden Army, with your gold-level strength, you can at least become the deputy commander."
David Mo did not deny it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because the first-level gold medals are considered super powerful in the military, and according to the practice in the military, they will have at least the position of deputy commander.
When Fa Kequn heard this, he asked with equal curiosity: "Where is the Holy Court? I heard from many people that the Holy Court has also extended an olive branch to you, and the high priest of the Holy Trial has personally approached you."
In his opinion, the Holy Court should be a better choice. Taking refuge in the blessing of the God of Light, even if he does not have the title of nobility in the future, he can still enjoy a high status in society.
"The Holy Palace is too far away for me... Although I am very grateful for the invitation from the high priest, I tactfully expressed my wish to join the Imperial [***] team."
David Mo shook the beer in his glass twice, and a look of disdain fell from his eyes. The encounter between Jones Bol and Harvitt made him feel chilled, and the experience of the Longma clan made him feel sad even more. After all the accumulation,
, and finally completely despaired of the Holy Court. So although it was a very tactful rejection, in his heart he was already disillusioned with the Holy Court.
He didn't want to discuss this topic any further, so he went on to throw out the purpose of his trip.
"The main purpose of coming today is to give you two Pegasus beasts." He paused here and chuckled at Fa Kequn: "Don't forget to bring the spiritual contract this time."
Fa Kequn's eyes, which were slightly swollen from drinking, immediately glowed with enthusiasm and said with excitement on his face: "I have already bought it, and it is in my arms!"
Since the last time he lost the chance to obtain the Pegasus beast because he did not bring a spiritual contract, he bought a spiritual contract the next day and kept it in his arms every day, for fear of missing the opportunity again.
Kepeng also heard Fa Kequn talk about the Pegasus beast, and his eyes flashed with gratitude, because for an apprentice-level warrior like him, the Pegasus beast was too precious.
"David, thank you!" He is not a person who is good at expressing himself. Thousands of words finally turned into three words of thank you.
But David Mo understood what he meant, patted him on the shoulder, paid for the drink, and took the two of them back to the dormitory of the Apprentice Academy.
Nowadays, the three words "David Mo" are well-known in the entire Star Academy, and in the Apprentice Academy, where he has always been very popular, he has become synonymous with legend.
He is often mentioned in various occasions such as the cafeteria, dormitories, and teaching buildings, and even in casual conversations among students. So much so that as soon as he walked into the college with Fa Kequn and Ke Peng, a large number of boys and girls looked at them.
Some girls who couldn't contain their excitement even walked directly towards David Mo, wanting to express their inner admiration to him.
The crowd grew larger and larger, until finally Fa Kequn and Ke Peng, who were equally proud, had to act as David Mo's bodyguards and escort him away from the crowd.
After entering Faqun's dormitory, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Faqun told the housekeeper to lock the door to prevent any crazy fans from breaking in.
David Mo also felt helpless. He could finally understand the feeling that Roberts had at the beginning. However, he was very surprised as to why Roberts seemed to enjoy it very much. This puzzled him.
After the housekeeper went out, David Mo released the two Pegasus beasts in the living room. Fa Kequn was relieved to have seen them, but Ke Peng couldn't believe his eyes.
"There is actually a space in this world that can store living things..." He murmured to himself.
Then a burst of golden light flashed, and a golden long bow appeared in David Mo's hand. A burst of Qilin pressure came, and the two Pegasus beasts that were about to leap and run were immediately frightened to the ground and did not dare to do anything again.
Any rash action.
"Why are you still dazed? Take out your spiritual contract quickly." David Mo looked at the two people in a daze, couldn't help but shook his head and shouted to them.
Fa Kequn was the first to take out the spiritual contract and put a thin piece of paper on the Pegasus beast's head. After a moment, the paper gave off a burst of white light and disappeared into the air.
Fa Kequn's face was filled with joy, he hugged the Pegasus beast's head excitedly, and said affectionately: "It's done! It's done! You will be mine from now on!"
Only then did Kirk Peng take out his spiritual contract and establish a relationship with Pegasus Beast in the same way. However, he did not show any excitement like Fa Kequn.
He lifted the Pegasus up and gently combed its hair. There were flashes of love and affection in his eyes, and you could see the joy in his heart.
When David Mo saw that the two of them had signed the contract, he finally put away the Qilin Bow. Seeing the two of them happy, he felt happy for them as well, which could be regarded as settling a worry.
So he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The purpose of coming here today has been achieved, and it's time for me to leave."
Ke Peng and Fa Kequn looked reluctant to leave. They said goodbye today and didn't know when they would see each other again. However, it was too late now, so the two of them sent him out of the school silently.
"David, you will be prosperous in the future, but you must never forget our two brothers." Fa Kequn did not change his real name, and his words instantly broke the somewhat sad atmosphere between the three people.
David Mo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, no one will forget you if they forget you." After speaking, he patted his shoulder and told him to keep working hard.
Then he turned to look at Ke Peng and saw that his eyes were also full of reluctance. He sighed slightly and said to him: "We are still in Yanjing anyway. It will be easy to meet each other later."
Ke Peng knew that he was trying to comfort himself. If he really entered the Central Royal Forbidden Army, the military regulations were strict, and he was afraid that there would be less gatherings and more separations in the future. However, he still nodded and said: "Well, the days are long, and you will have more, David."
Take care of yourself."
David Mo nodded, said goodbye to the two of them with fists in his arms, and turned to leave. The two of them watched David Mo's figure disappear under the moonlight, and finally returned to the academy.
…
In the Marquis Robert's Mansion, Robert Carey had a gloomy look on his face. Beside him, Roberts stood with his head bowed. He was working hard and did not even dare to take a breath.
Robert Carey slapped the table hard, his face as cold as ice, and finally said coldly: "Fortunately, the arrangements of Star Academy were good this time, otherwise the face of our Robert family would have been completely lost by you, a loser!"
What happened two days ago finally came out. Fortunately, all the nobles had left at that time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. After receiving the news today, I immediately called Roberts over for careful interrogation, and only then did I fully understand what happened that day.
"Father, David Mo is so scheming, he must have planned it in advance! Otherwise, the child will not fall into his trap no matter what!"
Roberts' eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked with sobs. He now hated David Mo so much. What happened on the martial arts field that day was like a nightmare that haunted him. Many people even laughed at him privately about this incident.
"Has it been planned? How could a little third-class Qingqi son have the courage to challenge our family's power! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" He glanced at Roberts coldly, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
He hates people lying to him most in his life, and in his opinion, Roberts undoubtedly lied out of fear. He hates this kind of feeble sophistry the most.
Seeing the disgust in his father's eyes, Roberts softened and knelt on the ground, crying: "It should be Marquis Elie! Marquis Elie's daughter worked with him to design the trap!"
After hearing what he said about Marquis Elie, Robert Carey's eyes flashed with light. Thinking of Elieduo's recent movements in court, he finally began to believe Roberts's conspiracy theory...
