Chapter 715 No Farewell
The Travelers sat on the soft sofas, watching the law-breaking academic tycoons crying and admitting their mistakes, pestering the trusted officials under the Grass God to beg for mercy.
The final result was that a large part of the academic clique was split up, many key positions were vacated, and many young scholars with real talent were promoted to take up the positions.
The huge fine enriched the national treasury. The bulk of it will be used to build and support desert areas, and a small portion will become rewards for traveler teams.
Su: "Hey, I made a lot of money again~"
Su felt that this was what their team of travelers deserved. After all, they were doing more than just archaeology in the desert.
In addition to this, Xumi took the initiative to modify the regulations specifically for Su and Kong. The Great Sage and the Flower Knight are very busy, so they don't have to follow the old rules to write papers or work on projects!
Many scholars looked at the guys who took the lead in causing this farce with murderous eyes!
It's you who spread public opinion, recruited people and created momentum, and finally insisted on using rules and regulations to force others to write papers!
Although the original intention was to drive the Traveler Team out of the power center of Xumi and let them stay quiet in Xumi.
But look at it now!
It caused everyone to be scolded and scolded! It made everyone's vitality seriously damaged!
Why would those stupid guys want to mess with them?
When the people in the audience were arguing the most excitedly, a green light descended from the sky and hovered in front of the girl sitting on the sofa.
Someone exclaimed, and everyone who noticed the situation quieted down and watched the ceremony, seeing the greatest sage holding the gem that represented the gaze of the gods.
——*——*——
Jingshan Palace.
Su admired the newly acquired super high-end accessory - the Eye of the Grass Elemental God - from a close angle.
Sora: "Is this Eye of God made of the amber that Apep gave me?"
Nashida nodded. "That's right."
Due to the special nature of the grass elemental power, she spent a lot of effort before finally using enough special materials to make this safe grass elemental divine eye.
While trying every possible means to create the Eye of God, her understanding of certain rules also deepened.
Paimon: "Scholars and even sages seem to think this is the real Eye of God!"
Moreover, the appearance of this Eye of God further demonstrates the God of Grass's recognition and support for Su.
Although they knew that the Eye of God was not distributed according to the will of the gods, wasn't it more glorious to have the Eye of God made and presented personally by the God of Grass?
Nashida took the Eye of God of Grass Element from Su's hand and helped her put it on the right shoulder of the precious gauze cloak. A place for hanging the Eye of God had been reserved here from the beginning.
"It's so beautiful! Thank you Nashida." Su Xukong kissed his good friend.
"You're welcome," Nashida shook her head and gently fell into the girl's arms. "Money, status, reputation, God's Eye... What I can give you is not even one ten-thousandth of what you have given me."
Paimon was shocked. It was hard for others to even ask for the things Nashida gave away! How could he think that it was not even one ten-thousandth of them?
Sue: "But that's not how friends work. Besides, Nashida gave me a part of herself, didn't she?"
The constraints on her and her relatives and friends have always been two-way.
Nashida smiled, "Yeah!"
The Sumeru set was successfully completed, and Sura took commemorative pictures with everyone.
Then came the farewell that was not announced but was known to everyone.
Before leaving Xumi, the travel team returned to Elhaisen's home.
The huge and exquisite doll house is quietly placed on the table in the living room.
Sue took the dollhouse away, leaving behind a large collection of custom-made dolls.
After the figures of the traveler team disappeared from the air, Kavi walked out of the room and picked up the stuffed cat Susu.
——*——*——
This time, the traveler team returned to Liyue and landed at Wangshu Inn.
The Traveler Squad called out in unison, "Xiao——"
The next second, the figure of the Great Sage Subduing Demons appeared before everyone.
"Xiao!" Su Fei pounced over.
Xiao caught the girl and spun her around before he relieved the force of the collision.
Xiao studied the girl's face, "You've become... stronger, and thinner."
"You've lost a lot of weight," Su pinched Xiao's chin and looked at him from left to right, then made a diagnosis, "You're busy exorcising demons every day and you forget to eat well, right?"
Xiao looked away, "No. I've been a bit busy lately, but I did remember to eat."
"I have evidence!" Su took out the picture he took of Xiao the last time he left Liyue, "His chin is much sharper than before!"
"Elbow! Come home with me for dinner." Su pulled Xiao and ran towards Liyue Harbor.
However, Xiao stood still with his feet rooted to the ground.
Paimon: "Why... Oh, right! Xiao doesn't like crowds. But it's okay to go to Xianyun Courtyard, right?"
Xiao: "It's a nice place there." But there are too many people there and he wants to stay with them for a while longer.
Kong: "Xiao must be very busy recently. He just rushed back. Let's sit here with him for a while and enjoy the breeze together."
Kong's proposal was passed unanimously, and a group of people chatted leisurely on the top floor of Wangshu Inn.
While Xiao was concentrating on talking to Kong about his recent experiences, Su stole Xiao's portable food bag and took out the cakes and pastries stored inside.
Paimon: "In the past, Xiao would forget to refill this bag when it was empty. It seems that he has made progress."
Su Xiuxiu opened her mouth and the food was taken away.
Xiao: "These foods are a bit old, not very fresh."
Paimon was speechless, "It turns out you really haven't had a good meal in a long time!"
Kong spread his hands helplessly and let Xiao be dragged to Xianyun's courtyard.
——*——*——
The kitchen was bustling with activity. While Su and Paimeng were helping Xianyun, they did not forget to mutter to themselves about Xiao.
Xianyun closed the lid of the steamer and said, "Okay, I know you care about the Demon-Subduing Great Sage, but if you continue talking, he might want to fly away."
Su poked his head out to take a look and saw that Xiao in the yard was indeed fidgeting, as if he was not used to the world and was not used to eating for free.
Xiao immediately stood up, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No." Su retracted his head and pushed Kong out to chat with Xiao.
Paimon breathed a sigh of relief. "Although Xianyun's kitchen is big, it's still crowded with so many people."
Shen He, who had been cooking quietly, picked up a small piece of meat and said, "Su, try it to see if it's salty enough."
Su took the braised pig's trotter from the chopsticks held by Shen He, blew on it while chewing and raised his thumb.
"Silly boy!" Xianyun scolded them both, "How can you eat hot food right away?"
One dares to feed the other to eat! Xianyun urged Su to spit it out and then gave her some cold water.
Su swallowed the braised pig's trotter whole, then took a big gulp of cold water to cool down.
"Open your mouth and let me see inside." Xianyun pinched the girl's chin and carefully examined her mouth. After feeling relieved, he continued to scold Su and Shenhe.
Paimeng also joined forces with Xianyun and made the two guys who lacked common sense shrink into a ball.
In the end, it was Shuyu who returned home and saved them, "It smells so good, Master is making another delicious meal... Brother Kong, you guys are back!"
