Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 842: Old Friends Departed

Leaving the hospital, the streets didn't seem too crowded with cars. The coming and going pedestrians and the rows of shops showed that this area was still considered bustling.

Perhaps out of habit, people on the streets didn't seem to notice the poor air quality.

An hour later, Mo Wuji followed Xian Zhiyang to Xingwu University. The gate of Xingwu University was built imposingly, with two cylindrical pillars standing on either side, exuding an air of grandeur.

Xian Zhiyang pointed to the four large characters of Xingwu University and said, "Xingda in Qishu City is quite good, ranking among the top twenty in the country. Many foreign students even come to Xingda to study. I'll take you to the best school cafeteria in Xingda. The prices are much cheaper than outside, and the food is good."

Although Mo Wuji's spiritual will could not extend, he was, after all, an Immortal Emperor, and his senses were extremely strong. As soon as he entered the Xingda campus, he saw several environmental purification machines. The air inside the campus was indeed much better than outside.

In fact, Mo Wuji longed to come to Earth for several reasons. Besides some unfinished business, he vaguely felt that if he wanted to step into a realm beyond the Immortal Emperor level in the future, he had to bring things on Earth to a close.

As for why, Mo Wuji didn't know. He cultivated the Mortal Dao, and he just had a vague feeling. Therefore, this time, the Kunwu Sword helped him fulfill this wish. When his cultivation recovered, and he left Earth, he would set up a protective array for Earth and restore the Earth's environment to its best state. This would be his contribution to his home planet, having been born on Earth.

"Here we are, it's here." The small courtyard restaurant Xian Zhiyang mentioned was actually not far from the entrance of the school.

There weren't many people in the restaurant. As soon as Mo Wuji and Xian Zhiyang walked in, they saw two women and a man walking out.

"Yaqi, you're here too..." Xian Zhiyang said subconsciously, his gaze falling on the male student.

Mo Wuji had already noticed a hint of panic on the face of the woman named Yaqi, but this girl obviously had good psychological qualities and quickly returned to normal.

"Zhiyang, why are you back at school? Didn't you go to the hospital..." The woman called Yaqi asked back, not finishing her sentence.

The male student walking next to Yaqi reached out and said, "You must be Xian Zhiyang, right? My name is Feng Nan, and I'm from Jingyang Star Academy, Yaqi's friend."

Mo Wuji was no longer the emotional idiot he once was. He could tell at a glance that there was something between Xian Zhiyang and Yaqi, possibly a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Sure enough, Xian Zhiyang's face looked a little ugly. He didn't even acknowledge Feng Nan, not extending his hand to shake Feng Nan's hand. Instead, he looked at the woman called Yaqi and asked, "Yaqi, I said I was going to the hospital with you, and you said you needed to study for the Star Level exam. Why are you here?"

Yaqi's face turned a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head. It was quiet around them. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Zhiyang, you know I'm graduating this year, and going to Di Yuan Star is my only dream."

She didn't continue, but even Mo Wuji could understand her meaning, which was that Xian Zhiyang didn't meet her conditions. He was originally intended as a backup, but now that she had met someone else, she had to choose between the two.

"Xian Zhiyang, you have no manners. Don't say Yaqi isn't your girlfriend yet, even if she were your girlfriend, you shouldn't be so rude when her classmates come. It's not just a matter of etiquette, it won't do you any good in the future." The other girl frowned and said.

The girl called Yaqi had short hair and a round face, and although she was considered pretty, she could only be described as average in appearance. On the other hand, the girl who was scolding Xian Zhiyang was tall and slender, with fair skin, and her features were almost exquisite. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, making her much prettier than Yaqi.

Xian Zhiyang's face turned pale, and he was obviously not calm inside.

Although Mo Wuji knew that Xian Zhiyang was being rude, he still smiled and patted Xian Zhiyang's shoulder, saying, "Zhiyang, there are plenty of fish in the sea, don't worry about it."

Whether Xian Zhiyang figured it out himself, or Mo Wuji's persuasion worked, he looked at Yaqi with some reluctance, and then said to the tall and slender girl, "Tan Zhenman, you're right, Yaqi and I haven't even become boyfriend and girlfriend yet. I was just thinking too much."

After saying this, Xian Zhiyang said to Mo Wuji, "Mo Wuji, let's go eat something delicious. The mountain pheasant in our school cafeteria is the most delicious."

"That's right, let's go." Mo Wuji admired Xian Zhiyang's open-mindedness.

"Your name is Mo Wuji?" The girl called Tan Zhenman suddenly asked in surprise.

Mo Wuji nodded, "That's right, my name is Mo Wuji. Is there anything strange about that?"

He didn't believe that Tan Zhenman knew him. He had left Earth for decades, and back then he had been focused on drug research. Aside from Wen Xiaoqi, who had a crush on him, the only other woman in his life had been Xia Ruoyin, who had stabbed him in the back.

"Uh, it's nothing, it's just that the name Mo Wuji is too famous, that's why I was so surprised," Tan Zhenman said apologetically, realizing her reaction.

Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, "Please tell me, Junior Sister Tan, why is Mo Wuji so famous?"

Seeing Mo Wuji clasp his fists, both Tan Zhenman and Xian Zhiyang were a little surprised. Besides the fact that Mo Wuji's clothes were a bit retro, he was actually using the fist-clasping greeting.

Tan Zhenman quickly said, "It's nothing, you'll know when you go to Jingyang. Many people in Jingyang know Mo Wuji. Because a tombstone appeared on Jingshou Mountain many years ago. The tombstone had two lines of words engraved on it: 'The Grave of Mo Wuji, erected by Wen Xiaoqi.'"

"Yes, this matter is not uncommon in Jingyang, everyone knows it," Feng Nan nodded in agreement.

Although Xian Zhiyang had not acknowledged his handshake earlier, he still acted generously.

"The Grave of Mo Wuji, erected by Wen Xiaoqi..." Mo Wuji muttered to himself, and the image of the shy but determined beautiful girl appeared in his mind again. Her name was Wen Xiaoqi.

Perhaps after his death, the only person who would remember him was Wen Xiaoqi.

"The tombstone looks like stone from the outside, but it's actually carved from a piece of top-grade jade. Because of this tombstone, it even caused some major conflicts in Jingyang..." Tan Zhenman explained when she saw that Mo Wuji seemed a little dazed.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Tan. Do you know where on Jingshou Mountain this tombstone appeared? Where is it now? And has anyone investigated this Wen Xiaoqi?" Mo Wuji endured the anxiety in his heart and asked several questions in a row.

Tan Zhenman nodded and said, "After the jade tombstone was discovered, someone investigated Wen Xiaoqi, but she seemed to be alone and never married. After her death, she was also buried on Jingshou Mountain. As for the jade tablet, it has long disappeared. Some of us classmates even went to visit the place where the tombstone appeared."

Wen Xiaoqi is dead?

Mo Wuji felt another wave of terrible pain in his mind, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing through it. His face instantly turned pale. No matter how terrible the pain, he could not hold back the regret and sadness in his heart, and his eyes became blurred.

He had shed tears once for Cen Shuyin, and now he shed tears again for Wen Xiaoqi. He had returned too late and had no way to take Wen Xiaoqi away.

A woman had guarded him, a man who had not given her any promises or even any opportunities, for the rest of her life. How much determination and how much love did that require?

But he had not seen it in Wen Xiaoqi's eyes. She was always quietly giving behind his back, asking for nothing in return, not seeking any outcome. Perhaps, for Wen Xiaoqi, all she wanted was a smile from him, a soft greeting.

But none of that happened. His heart was all focused on the research of meridian opening medicine, and his love was all given to Xia Ruoyin, the woman who had stabbed him in the back.

"Mo Wuji, are you okay?" Xian Zhiyang quickly asked.

Mo Wuji wiped his eyes and shook his head, "I'm fine."

After saying that, he looked at Tan Zhenman and said, "Junior Sister Tan, I know my words are a bit abrupt, but this is really important to me. Can you take me to the location on Jingshou Mountain where the tombstone was found?"

"Ah..." Tan Zhenman looked at Mo Wuji in surprise. She did not expect that Mo Wuji would make such an almost unreasonable request.

She had no relationship with Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji looked sickly. Although his clothes could not be described as beggar's rags, they were very strange. If it weren't for the fact that many people liked to wear Hanfu these days, she would have really thought that Mo Wuji was someone with problems.

She was not disgusted by Mo Wuji. Although Mo Wuji looked very down and out, he had an unspeakable feeling standing there. Moreover, although Mo Wuji's clothes were old, his aura was very fresh, giving people a sense of cleanliness.

"Zhiyang, is Senior Brother Mo your friend?" To the surprise of Feng Nan and Yaqi, Tan Zhenman did not directly refuse, but instead asked Xian Zhiyang.

Xian Zhiyang quickly said, "Wuji is a friend I just made. He fell from Luoyang Mountain and was injured. I took him to the hospital."

"Why don't you draw a map for Mo Wuji, Zhenman? After all, it's too far from here to Jingyang City," Feng Nan said quickly, seeing that Tan Zhenman did not refuse.

At this moment, the school's broadcast suddenly rang out, "Graduates of Xingwu University, please note that the Federal Aerospace Group will be recruiting three fresh graduates from our Qinan Province. As long as you pass the three-star assessment, you can go to register for an interview and competition. Registration address: Guanjing Square, Qishu City..."

The broadcast was repeated six times, and Mo Wuji saw several people showing expressions of longing. Xian Zhiyang even forgot about his heartbreak.

"Alas, it's a pity that I haven't passed the three-star assessment yet..." Tan Zhenman sighed.

"If you're willing to accompany me to Jingshou Mountain, I guarantee I can tutor you to pass the three-star assessment," Mo Wuji suddenly said. He didn't know what the three-star assessment was, but Mo Wuji believed that it wouldn't be a problem for an Immortal Emperor to deal with a mere assessment.
