Chapter 3: Another Seven Years
"Father and mother, I have come to see you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info "Ye Mo sat at the grave of his parents. The summer morning breeze is not as hot as the noon.
"The old man's body is also very tough. School is about to start in two days, and he is busy with the enrollment of new students, and Xiaoyu is following to help. Live your days and bring her to see you. β
Ye Mo's words were filled with sadness that he couldn't hide, but he couldn't help but recall the events of seven years ago in his mind. The painful memories that shattered his life.
yes, it's been seven years......
After that incident, the family's money was looted. Ye Mo had to sell the furniture ornaments in order for his sister to be fed and clothed. The vendors bullied their youth and deliberately lowered the price, but Ye Mo also saw through it and didn't say anything.
He is a helpless child, even if he clearly knows that the other party is bullying you? What can a seven-year-old do?
However, the joke of fate seems to end here. He didn't completely abandon the pair of hard-working siblings.
A month later, an old man found the Ye family's small courtyard.
That night, the Ye Mo siblings moved to the magic academy in the east of the city.
The old man's name was Chen Ye, and when he took out the badge to prove his identity as a magic master and offered to adopt the two brothers and sisters, Ye Mo thought about it and agreed.
He and his sister are young and really need a person to rely on to live.
And this mansion is full of bad memories, and even Ye Mo is often awakened by nightmares in his sleep during this time.
As for the possibility that the old man is a liar ...
An adult can kidnap two brothers and sisters without much effort, and be guilty of cheating? Besides, the Magister Badge can't be faked, how can he, Ye Mohede, let the Magister make a special trip to deceive him?
Three years after the brother and sister were adopted by Chen Ye, that is, when Ye Moye was ten years old, the two were arranged by Chen Ye to enter the magic branch of the Ziyang Demon Martial Academy. At the time of the entrance test, Ye Mo showed an extremely high affinity for the dark water dual element. Surprisingly, her younger sister Ye Yu turned out to be a dual line of light and fire, which was completely opposite to her brother's physique.
Under Chen Ye's dedicated cultivation and unremitting teaching, the results of the two brothers and sisters have always been at the top of the grade.
According to the academic year system of the Ziyang Demon Martial Academy, it is divided into six grades in total. Students are limited to a maximum of two years of study per academic year. Students who are unable to complete the promotion exam at the end of the second year will be withdrawn. According to the learning progress, the strength of the students of the Ziyang Magic Branch who have successfully graduated can be certified as high-level magicians by the magic union recognized by the empire.
Originally, according to the talent of Ye Mo's brothers and sisters and the level of effort that did not lose to anyone, one year of study at each grade was enough.
However, under Chen Yan's strict order, Ye Moye can only take the promotion exam after staying for two years in each grade.
Ye Mo once asked the old man why. The old man immediately glared at him and said loudly, "Is today's task completed?" I didn't finish and still have time to ask such boring questions, it seems that I didn't arrange enough?! Ye Mo immediately turned around and left.
Later, it was my sister Ye Yu who relied on Chen Ye's fear of Ye Yu's little devil and asked the reason.
Originally. The competition in the Ziyang Magic Branch has always been fierce. The lower grades are fine, but in the middle and upper grades, most of the students' time is spent practicing magic and cultivating spiritual power, and they don't have much time or energy to read books. As one of the best magic martial arts schools in the Empire, Ziyang's Academy Library is second only to the Imperial Library. That's a huge wealth of knowledge.
And a qualified magician, in addition to hard power, should also have rich practical experience and profound knowledge.
Sadly, under the influence of the college system and ethos, not many students in the library are willing to take the initiative to read.
So, in the four years of the younger years of the brother and sister's junior career, almost all of the time was assigned by Chen Yan to study.
Chen Yan set a goal for the two of them to read 70 percent of the books in the library before graduation.
Now, the brother and sister, who were at the age of young children, are 14 years old, and they have already touched the threshold of intermediate magicians, and seven years have passed quietly in the busyness and harvest.
The sound of the cicadas became louder and louder, and a cool breeze blew, and the rustle of the leaves collided back and forth actually overshadowed the cicadas, and for a time the grass in the cemetery also floated, waking up the boy who was wandering in his memories.
"I'm running away again..."Ye Mo rubbed his hair and stood up.
"Father and mother, come to visit again in your life." Ye Mo bowed, turned around and walked a few steps, but suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at his parents' tomb, his fists clenched quietly, as if he had finally made some kind of determination, and never looked back and walked out of the cemetery.
Since the reading task of the summer vacation was still not completed, Ye Mo returned to the academy and went straight to the library.
Ye Mo stood in front of the magnificent library, thinking of the goal that Old Man Chen had set for the two of them, Ye Mo was actually a little desperate in his heart. It took four years for the books on the first floor of the library to read so-so. As for the upper floors, Ye Mo hadn't gone up at allβnot because he didn't want to go, but because he didn't have permission.
The permissions on the first to sixth floors of the library correspond to the first and second grades, third grades, fourth grades, fifth grades, sixth grades, college teachers, and college veterans.
Ye Mo found the book he had read half of last time on the first floor, and suddenly thought that he had already completed the upgrade exam, so maybe he could go up to the second floor to take a look. So Ye Mo picked up the book and walked to the spiral staircase in the center of the hall.
There is a blue light curtain at the entrance of the staircase. Normally, if a first- or second-grader tries to go up to the second floor, it gently pushes him away.
But today it didn't stop Ye Mo. Ye Mo walked out of the light curtain and stepped on the stairs to the second floor.
Ye Mo went upstairs with some excitement.
The entrance is a lobby in the same style as the first floor, but significantly smaller. The hall is divided into six areas according to the attributes of earth, fire, water, scenery and darkness, and the bookshelf near the central staircase of the hall are miscellaneous books.
"I always feel like I've opened the door to a new world." Ye Mo whispered to himself.
When Ye Mo came to the dark area, he was stunned by a large number of books that he had not read. ""Intermediate Dark Magic Array", "Dark Magical Beast Distribution", ......... "Intermediate Dark Magic Structure", that's it!" Ye Mo pulled out one of the vast books on the bookshelf, with a little excitement and curiosity.
Suddenly a breeze blew, and Ye Mo narrowed his eyes.
"Where's the wind in the library...... Is there a window on the second floor? Ye Mo muttered to himself, and then walked against the wind.
Walking around a corner, there are no bookshelves in front of me, and the view has become much wider. Ye Mo saw a row of windows and round tables lined up in front of the windows. The window near the corner was halfway open, and the wind squeezed in through the window.
Looking down again, a person sat at the round table next to the window. To be exact, it was a girl who looked about the same age as Ye Mo.
The girl wears a white dress with a light blue shawl on her upper body. Lilac eyes and small lips adorn the delicate face, a long soft black hair hangs down obediently and naturally to the waist, and there are bangs on the forehead, but it is somewhat similar to Ji hairstyle. The skin is like clotted fat, with a jade-like suppleness and glaze texture, but there is no unnaturalness. The delicate face is a foil in her quiet temperament and strong book fragrance, which looks stunning but not coquettish. The wind blew the girl's long hair, she stretched out her hand to brush the hair around her ear, and read the book indifferently.
Ye Mo looked at the girl and forgot for a moment what he was going to do. His eyes involuntarily looked at her side face, Ye Mo looked at it, but the excitement and throbbing in his heart suddenly calmed down, and his breathing and heartbeat gradually calmed down.
It's like there is some kind of calming magic on the girl's body, but the originally hot summer day has become calm and refreshing at this moment, and even the wind blowing on the face with a slight heat is much cooler.
As if to engrave this scene into his mind, Ye Mo stood in place and watched greedily.
Then with great perseverance, he turned around and went downstairs with reluctance.
Sleepwalking out of the library, Ye Mo was blown by the wind, and only then did he come back to his senses from the scene just now.
Ye Mo took a deep breath and sighed, "What a beautiful girl!" β
Ye Mo, who gets along with Ye Yu day and night, can be said to have a full level of immunity to beautiful girls. Today, I stared at a girl and looked stupid.
Ye Mo shook his head and tried to dispel these thoughts, rubbed his face and calmed down.
"Let's go to Old Man Chen's office and have a look, this whispering should be over."
After speaking, he walked in the direction of Chen Ye's office
In front of Chen Ye's office.
"Wow!"
"Oooo
"Aren't they all there?" Ye Mo pondered in his heart.
"I'm in!" Ye Mo said softly. Then push the door hard with your hand.
"Huh? This door ......" The feeling from Ye Mo's hand told him that this door was heavy and abnormal, and it felt like using a pole to push a heavy object.
Ye Mo immediately took a step back vigilantly, and at the same time raised his right foot and kicked the door hard!
"Bang!"
An ice hockey ball fell from above the door frame and exploded on the ground, splashing the ground with a "pop" and scattering. Even though Ye Mo had already taken a step back, his trousers and shoes were still wet.
The green tendons on Ye Mo's forehead burst out.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Ye Mo pretended that nothing had happened, lightly jumped over the waterhole on the ground, and calmly walked into the room.
"Brother, welcome back~" Ye Yu greeted his brother with a smile.
Ye Mo entered the door and saw an old man and a young man sitting on the sofa leisurely holding a teacup.
The old man took a sip of tea and made a slurping sound.
Ye Mo didn't know what was going on when he saw this? You don't have to guess to know that it must be Ye Yu's little girl's prank. As for the ice hockey, don't think it's the old man's handiwork - he is a real water magician, and Ye Mo's water magic has been taught by him himself over the years. It's nothing more than condensing a cloud of water, and then controlling the outer layer to condense into ice.
This will make this old and young pretend to be stupid!
Ye Yu poured a cup of tea, then got up and handed it to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo grinned, "Don't you have anything to say?" β
Ye Yu tilted his head slightly, his expression dazed, "En? Brother, what's the matter with you? β
Ye Mo lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Go home at night and settle the account..."
Ye Yu smiled sweetly, pretending not to hear anything: "This is Old Man Chen's treasure, I can't drink it a few times a year, hurry up and try it!"
The old man glared at Ye Mo, Ye Mo Yile, this old man seems to be hurting his tea, and he asked for help.
Hmph, you just co-oped up to play a prank, and now you want me to discipline my sister?
Ye Mo thought hatefully in his heart, took the teacup and took a sip, and then sat on the sofa on the side of the coffee table.
"Old man, you're wrong about that." Ye Mo said with a smile in his heart.
Ye Yu has never taken his words seriously, and in the end, this account is not to be counted on the old man.
"It's self-defeating, old man Chen, but it's time for my sister to take care of it." Ye Mo thought of Ye Yu's various behaviors, and had a slight headache.
The brother and sister chatted without saying a word, and the old man took a sip of tea, making a smacking sound from time to time, and the atmosphere on the surface was called a harmony.
"Girl, go out for a while, I'll talk to your brother about something." Finally, Chen Ye said the first words after Ye Mo sat down.
Ye Yu pursed his lips, very unhappy, "What do you still need to hide from me!" β
Ye Mo saw that the old man seemed to have something important to say, and he also put away his thoughts just now, and shook his head at Ye Yu.
When Ye Yu saw his brother's expression, he had no choice but to nod and walk out the door.
"By the way, I cleaned up the ground." The old man chased after him coldly.
Ye Yu paused for a moment, then walked to the door as if he didn't hear it, turned around and leaned on the door frame and grimaced with a smile: "Whoever gets it will clean it up." β
Then he disappeared in a flash.
The old man hung a black line on his face, and turned his head just to Ye Mo, "Sure enough, it's you!" The corners of his mouth twitched.
As if to hide his embarrassment, Chen Ye pretended to take a sip of tea calmly.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The great magic guide of the water system actually choked on tea
Ye Mo's expression at this time had already turned into schadenfreude.
The old man coughed several times, and finally relented. "That girl said she wanted to fix you, but I was coerced......"
Make matters worse by attempting a coverup.
Ye Mo waved his hand, "Stop." Didn't you say there was something serious? β
Thinking beautifully, Ye Mo thought about how to take revenge on this old man, let him apologize, and let him do it himself.
Chen Ye straightened his face after hearing this, and put the teacup on the table
"In addition to magic, you also taught yourself martial arts."
Ye Mo's expression was a little unnatural, and he nodded slowly.
Chen Ye seemed to be a little satisfied and nodded: "Yes, it's quite honest." However, did you know that this may delay the magic and martial arts? The old man's voice grew serious.
Ye Mo said helplessly: "Of course I know. But it's not without delay. β
The old man sighed: "It seems that the tasks I have assigned are a bit less, and I have time to practice martial arts."
ββ¦β¦ When I didn't say. "As soon as I heard about the reading task, Ye Mo was a head and two big.
The old man said unhurriedly, "Are you interested in finding a master?"
Ye Mo nodded: "It's better to have someone teach nature than to fool yourself."
The old man looked at Ye Mo for a while, and then sighed: "You are a little too obsessed with that matter."
Ye Mo understood what Chen Ye was talking about, the hatred in his heart was suppressed by him, and he said calmly on the surface: "Kill my parents, how dare you forget this kind of hatred casually?!"
"These obsessions are your motivation, but they are also likely to become a drag on you!"
"I'm like this, why not Ye Yu? Over the years, she has suffered no less than me, and even her personality has become like this..."This is also the reason why Ye Mo indulged his sister in every way.
Chen Ye nodded: "The future of the two of you has to decide for yourself, and I won't interfere much." Let's go to the Martial Arts Academy tomorrow to report to Old Man Luo."
"Thank you, old man......" Ye Mo suddenly came back to his senses. Wait a minute! As soon as I finished saying that I would decide the future by myself, I helped me find a master! You've decided what kind of circle you're going to go around, just tell me no! β
Chen Ye rolled his eyes at Ye Mo, "Don't talk nonsense, this time you kid owes me a big favor!" Do you know what I used to trade him for your sake? β
Ye Mo also knew in his heart that Chen Ye was doing this for his own good, but... I don't know why I just can't thank you.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll leave if it's okay." After speaking, Ye Mo got up and walked to the door. The old man didn't stop him, and continued to drink his tea.
Ye Mo walked to the door and saw the water on the ground, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile. He opened his hand to the pool of water on the ground and jerked it.
He saw that the water on the ground gathered into a water ball with his movements.
"Condensation!" A thin layer of ice condenses on the surface of the water balloon, enclosing the water. This uses the same method as Chen Ye, and he has made up his mind to treat others in his own way. But the difference is that Ye Mo still has a hand.
Ye Mo took a breath, turned around and shook it hard, and the ice hockey ball flew straight towards Chen Ye with his hand.
Chen Ye drank tea leisurely, unmoved. The ice hockey ball suddenly stopped in front of Chen Ye. He smiled and shook his head, seemingly dismissive of a child's prank.
Ye Mo smiled when he saw it. Chen Ye's heart jumped when he saw this smile.
How can these two brothers and sisters laugh exactly the same when they are bad!
Ye Mo turned around and gently spit out a syllable "boom!" from his mouth. β
And this syllable seems to become a clarion call, and the puck explodes! The old man who was caught off guard was instantly splashed into a soup chicken, and this is ice water...
Ye Mo smiled and ran out of the office without looking back.
But...
As soon as Ye Mo ran out of the door and turned a corner, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Mo was startled, his feet were stunned, and then his body twisted, but he didn't hit the person.
Ye Mo exhaled a long breath after standing firmly, he had practiced so much!
When he looked at it again, Ye Mo was stunned, that person turned out to be the girl he had seen in the library just now.
At this time, there was no expression on the girl's face, and her eyes were still so calm.
Ye Mo looked at those eyes, and his heart calmed down inexplicably: "That... Please wait a moment! β
The girl paused when she heard the footsteps and turned to look at Ye Mo.
"I'm sorry just now." Ye Mo was slightly unreasonable.
The girl shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't care.
Ye Mo hesitated for a moment: "That...... If you're going to the office, it's better to stay for a while. This will ......" Speaking of this, Ye Mo couldn't help but smile. "Dean, he may not be very convenient. I'll go first, see you next time! Ye Mo didn't dare to stay for a long time, and he owed a debt again, and turned around and left.
With some doubt in her eyes, the girl turned to open the door and looked at it, stunned for a moment. Then he quickly closed the door.
On his face, which had always been as calm as water, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a small but sweet smile was bent.
