After arriving across the river, they continued on their way to the Academy. The party would sometimes stop in different cities so that the horses could rest.
One week later.
They were seen riding towards the large complex of the Lunar Academy.
Surprisingly they took a week to get here, though according to calculations
Ui Yong Jiang, they should have arrived here three days ago.
“If only you agree we take the recommended route Yong we, we will get here faster.” Ui Yong Jiang said as he turned to face Mei ling.
“I know the route is longer, that's why I chose it since the beginning.” Mei Ling said she did not admit that she was wrong.
“Omong empty! The only reason we took that route is because you said we had to take it because it was shorter.” Yong we said, mimicking Mei ling as she said the last part of her statement.
“Your route is boring, my route is good.” Mei ling did not
“How nearly being robbed is great?” ask Yong we.
“By the people who just broke through to the Origin Plane. Do you not enjoy them?
Because I'm sure. Also, when we save that little village from being destroyed by hordes of magical beasts, when we,
don't you feel like a hero?” Mei ling said putting on a heroic posture as they drove closer to the Academy.
“I get the part where we almost got robbed, but since when did killing the last beast make you a village hero?” Ui Yong Jiang looked at him with raised eyebrows.
When they defeat the bandits who try to rob them, they take them to a nearby town
with the bandits' hideout. After they lowered the bandits to the guards there,
They followed the trail and saw that a village was being attacked by a horde of animals,
but the villagers were already close to victory with only a few animals still alive.
Before they got to the village, there was only one animal still alive, and the village warriors had no problem
in killing him because it was not the strongest beast. But before anyone can attack him,
Mei Ling created a huge ice shard that she used to stab him.
The villagers were naturally grateful, even though he had only killed a ferocious beast,
it showed that he was trying to help because the villagers realized that they had just arrived.
“Ui Yong Jiang my friend, let me tell you something you still don't know, it's not about the journey, it's about the beginning, and the end.”
“What do you mean not about travel? What if you die on the way?” Ui Yong Jiang felt like
using a huge rock to hit his head, perhaps he would start thinking properly back then.
“If you die on the way, then technically, that is the end of your journey. Everything has an end, that is
“Where did you hear all this?” Ui Yong Jiang could not help but ask.
“From wise parents.” Mei ling said respectfully.
“You mean the crazy old drunk sitting by the side of the road near The Garland tavern in town?” Ui Yong Jiang easily guessed the identity of the wise old man he spoke of.
In Lunar City, Mei ling likes to go to two places whenever she wants to drink and have fun. One of them is
The cony tavern, and the other one that Ui Yong Jiang personally preferred to leave was The Garland tavern.
“You know, it's all about perspective when we see something. From your point of view, he's an old drunk
that's crazy, but from my point of view, he's a wise old man. It's amazing how two people see the same thing in a way
different ones.” Mei ling did not try to deny that the wise old man was the same person that Ui Yong Jiang was talking about.
“Where did you hear this too? No, wait, don't answer that, it's also from a wise parent.” Ui Yong Jiang's
asked but answered the question himself because he knew he would give the same answer.
“You should take some life lessons from him, two silver coins can make you much wiser,
I don't think he can help your case, I brought your problem to him a while ago, and he was flabbergasted.
by how your head works.” Mei ling said to Ui Yong Jiang, before patting Yong we on the shoulder in sympathy.
“I'm under.. Wait, what?!” Yong We almost jumped off his horse to attack Mei ling.
Sometimes she wondered how great Mei ling would be if she really decided to pass the time
which he uses to annoy someone in thinking of something good.
His ingenuity in disturbing someone is insane, sometimes making him wonder about the purpose of life.
Ui Yong Jiang looked at the two and smiled gently, Mei ling always seemed to think of a way to disturb Yong we.
“Does this mean you will end up like ‘wise old man’ too?” Ui Yong Jiang asked with a smirk.
“Ya.” Mei ling nodded, but her expression immediately changed when Jade lin and Yong we started laughing, “Wait, no, no. We don't know what the world provides for us.”
“But you said to make the most of your life, that wise old man definitely did.
He does what he likes to do, which is drink, otherwise you are not far from it.” Ui Yong Jiang continued with a smile.
He finally got the chance to win Mei ling in a war of words, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, how could he dare to waste it?
“Good game Ui Yong Jiang, good game.” Mei ling said with narrowed eyes while nodding.
‘Yong we should be happy, Ui Yong Jiang just took the stick from him without him asking.’ thought of him.
The stick in this case was who he would naturally vex.
