CHAPTER XXXVIII
This is probably the only time in Mo Zishen's study career so far, not the first.
The results are released, and the classmate who ranked first in the second year of high school is called Rong Xuan.
Su Shuishui remembered him, whether he saw him in the commissary or at the door of the infirmary, he was estranged from others but very shy.
She didn't know him, so she didn't expect his grades to be so good, but she heard that Rong Xuan had been suppressed in the second position when Mo Zishen was there.
Now everyone is saying that this time it was because Mo Zishen did not take the exam that he turned over once.
As for Sushui water......
Lao Gao had always thought that she had a learning disability, but in this first monthly exam, Su Shuishui and Lin Qiao were both admitted to the top ten in the class.
As the only experimental class among the freshmen, the ranking of their class is almost the ranking of the grade.
The only regret is that Mo Zishen is not there, and he did not participate in this monthly exam as one of the bases for the results of the later class.

The National Day is coming.
There is a rule that all ethnic groups must come back to attend a party every year during the National Day holiday.
One, a family feast.
Ms. Qin also rushed back and returned home the day before departure.
Before leaving, Su Shuishui also deliberately took Qiuqiu to Nanshan Villa, this time without Mo Zishen's leadership, she and Qiuqiu couldn't even get close to the gate of the community.
"Qiuqiu, guess where your dad went."
"Wangwang~" I don't know.
"It's completely different from how I deliberately avoided him before." Su Shuishui was a little sad, "Although I haven't seen him for so long when I was hiding from him, I know that he is still so close to me, but now it's different." He's not at home, he's not at school, he's not in any of my presence, I'm ...... I almost couldn't feel his breath. ”
Su Shuishui looked down at Qiuqiu, who was sitting obediently, and whispered softly, "Qiuqiu, I miss him a little." ”
"Wangwang~"
Su Shuishui was a little touched in her heart, Mo Zishen also entrusted Qiuqiu to take care of herself before leaving, which was not a kind of comfort to her.
Now he hasn't returned, but whenever he sees Qiuqiu, he can think of her unscrupulous master.
"Mo Zishen, I'm going to stop thinking about you first, I'll take Qiuqiu to the party tomorrow, I hope you can come back when I come back......"

North Side.
This is the northern city, close to the plateau, but there are primeval forests in the middle that can not be seen as far as the eye can see.
Qiuqiu was left in a hotel near the airport and asked staff to take care of it.
There is no more transportation here, except for the first four hours there are buses to ride, and all the roads behind are no longer passable.
They had to walk, step by step, out of the woods.
This is not part of any area on the map, it is a private territory belonging to an alien race.
To be precise, it was the private domain of the old ancestor of the alien race.
Su Xianshan led the family and Lin Qiao's family of three to walk together, originally looking relaxed, but when they arrived outside the woods, not only Father Lin's face was tense, but even Su Xianshan's face became solemn.
"It seems to be a little different here than when I came here last year, so it's better for everyone to be careful."
Ms. Qin looked at Su Xianshan's face solemnly, and held Su Shuishui's hand harder. If you want to talk about danger, in the territory of foreign races, it is actually humans who will really encounter danger.
For example, Ms. Qin.
is also Lin Qiao's mother.
Father Lin and Su Xianshan glanced at each other tacitly, and the two of them immediately separated, one in front and one behind, cutting off the distance, and putting all the women of the two families in the middle to protect them.
Everyone was watching vigilantly ahead.
Only Su Shuishui kept paying attention to the surroundings.
The group walked for nearly half an hour, and finally stopped in front of a seemingly abandoned fortress, which seemed to be many years old, and the fortress was surrounded by ancient vines, which were thick and mossy, and the gloom was full of strong dampness and rotten smell, and it didn't look like a place for people.
But after coming here, Father Lin and Su Xianshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sort of, arrived safely......
Father Lin stepped forward first, he stood on the right wall of the fortress, opened the identification system hidden in the layers of vines, and after the miniature needle sticking out of the system extracted a blood sample from Father Lin, there was a vibration in the ground in just a second.
The voice sounded as old as an inscription: "Identification is complete, welcome to the nameless castle."
Father Lin turned his head and bowed at Su Xianshan, and then led the family to turn around and walk into the castle passage that had just opened.
After Daddy Lin's family passed through smoothly, the passage slowly closed again, as if it had never existed.
Su Xianshan let go of his wife and daughter's hands and came to the right wall of the fortress just like Father Lin just now, operating step by step.
The ancient voice sounded again: "Identification complete, welcome to the Nameless Castle."
With the sound of the sound, the passage that had just been closed opened again.
Su Xianshan is now down, and there are no more things in the present world in his behavior.
Leaving here, he is human, and back here, he is alien.
Life is a foreign race, death is a foreign soul.
Once inside, they're going home.
Back to their ...... Ancient, sacred home......
Walking through the passage, everything in front of me became open, and it was no longer the barren appearance of the outside just now.
The castle in front of you is magnificent, towering high in the dense jungle, this is the real "nameless castle".
"Mr. Su, welcome home." Odin, the castle's steward, has been waiting outside the castle's gates, waiting for every alien who has returned from this world.
"Mr. Odin, it's been a long time, and you still haven't changed at all." Su Xianshan stepped forward to shake hands with him.
Odin bent down and stretched out his hand respectfully, and said politely, "Mr. Su has not changed at all, Mrs. Su is still as beautiful and moving as when we met last year." ”
Ms. Qin leaned by Su Xianshan's side, smiling back and not making a sound.
Su Xianshan smiled: "Mr. Odin is still as handsome as ever."
Odin waved his hand and said, "Let's not be polite to each other here, Mr. Lin's family just entered, Mr. Su also invites, I also have to receive other clansmen, we will see you at dinner!"
Mr. Su chuckled, took a small step back and bowed to Odin, and then took his wife and daughter's hands and strode into the castle.
*** *** ***
It wasn't the first time Su Shuishui had followed her parents to a family gathering, but today was strange, and her heart had been filled with an uneasy feeling from the entrance to the forest to the passage into the castle.
A servant led them to their chamber and gave them some instructions before withdrawing.
Odin arranged for the family a suite, at the very end of the third floor, with a large bedroom and a smaller bedroom, as well as a well-sized study.
They're going to be here for two nights, and they'll need to attend tonight's banquet and tomorrow's review before they can leave.
"Dad, I think ......"
"Shh
Mr. Su hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth to block the question she was about to blurt out.
He shook his head at Su Shuishui: Don't ask......
After so many years have passed since the father and daughter, Su Shuishui can understand what she means even if he just gives him a look.
Not only did Su Shuishui feel it, but Mr. Su sensed that something was wrong before he came in, otherwise he would not have cooperated with Father Lin all the way to protect their wife and daughter.
This time the family reunion, there is a problem!
But they had just entered this room, and they couldn't keep the wall with ears, in case there really was, then once Su Shuishui asked this question......
Either it startles the snake, or it causes panic.
"Old Su ......" Ms. Qin is restless, although she is just an ordinary person, but the vigilant experience of working hard in the mall for many years tells her that it may not be safe here.
Shui Shui is still young, even if her talent is very high, but so far there is only Su Xianshan who can really fight against something in the family.
"Don't worry, I'm here, when the matter here is over, we'll go home early the day after tomorrow!"
With Su Xianshan's reassuring needle, Ms. Qin could only temporarily put aside the uneasiness in her heart and nodded, they are here now, in case there is really anything, the only way is for the soldiers to come and cover the water.
"They will send dresses over later, you pick out the dresses first, and then we will go to Lao Lin to have a look."
Ms. Qin agreed, "Okay." ”
Su Xianshan chose quickly, wearing a simple black suit and giving up the tie.
I don't know if it's because of the strong premonition in my heart, Su Shuishui chose a dress skirt that just reached the calf, and picked a pair of small heels with only a little heel.
Ms. Qin originally fell in love with a set of swing skirts with long tails, but finally decided to choose a simple, generous and very light half-length skirt like her daughter.
Without wasting too much time, the three of them took their belongings, together with the dresses they had just chosen, and went out to find Daddy Lin's family.
In this place, Su Xianshan's most trusted person is Dad Lin.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Qin, Shui Shui." It was Lin Qiao who opened the door, probably instructed by Father Lin, and before bringing them into the room, he stretched out his head and looked at the corridors left and right, "Come in." ”
"It's coming."
"Lao Lin."
Father Lin patted the sofa next to him and motioned for Su Xianshan to go over and sit down.
"You found out too?" Dad Lin asked.
"Hmm." Su Xianshan's face became worse and worse.
Perhaps, things are much more serious than imagined.
"Shuishui, you come with me." Su Shuishui originally expected to be able to listen to something while standing next to him, but he was pulled tightly in the small room by Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao's tone was a little urgent, and he was still very flustered.
Su Shuishui frowned and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Qiao's long-suppressed emotions exploded instantly in the comfort of his friend, and he didn't dare to cry too loudly, so he could only reach out and cover his mouth and whimper quietly.
"Don't cry, tell me what happened first?!" Seeing that his friend kept crying but couldn't do anything, Su Shuishui was originally a little upset, but now he felt that his temples were twitching.
After a while, Lin Qiao calmed down.
She shook her head slightly at Su Shuishui, her arm holding Su Shuishui trembled a little, and she replied to her without a word:
"Water water...... I...... I have a sister ......."
