Coming to Yuzhang was just a matter of luck, and not being able to find the three wizards was all within my expectations. I wasn't disappointed at all, of course. At least I knew the wizard's last name, which was Tengqi, and I also more or less confirmed the other party's motive for doing this from Yuzhang.
A wizard, a martial god, and a girl who looks like the incarnation of a demon sword. They are a very strange trio. In this sense, they are quite conspicuous... But if the other party deliberately hides their tracks, it will be difficult for anyone to catch them. Yu Zhang can't find them here, and he has no information on where they went. If Nura Rikuo starts looking for them without any purpose, it will undoubtedly be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
There is no other way. Now we can only start with Dalian Temple Suzuka and see if those three people will come to find her.
……
……
The two days of the weekend are free time as there are no classes, no work calls, and the weather is very sunny, which is perfect for traveling.
Under normal circumstances, Li Nian would not bury herself in practice and work during this rare time. She would go out for a walk and have fun everywhere to relax her tense body and mind.
However, this time, Li Nian still wanted to finish the task at hand first, that is, to finish the manuscript of the first volume he was writing. So he took advantage of this beautiful time to write behind closed doors and quickly completed the revision of the first volume.
Thanks to this, the efforts were fruitful.
Now, with the final period, the content of the first volume comes to an end.
Li Nian raised his hands from the keyboard, stretched lazily with great comfort, and then felt exhausted all over. He leaned back on the chair tiredly. Now that he had finished the manuscript, he felt like a huge stone had been lifted off his heart. He felt relieved and didn't want to think about or do anything anymore.
He thought that this was the moment when he was most relaxed, and he didn't even want to repent even with this awareness. Now he just didn't want to move. If someone were to assassinate him, Li Nian, and stab him with a knife, Li Nian would not have the courage to fight back. He thought that he might as well let him stab him and then use the pain to stimulate his mood, and then kill the assassin...
Just as I was thinking this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an uninvited guest rushed in, shouting happily and excitedly: "Don't lie down, get up quickly, newcomer! Come with me to open the door to the new world, gupu!"
Li Nian jumped up and kicked Kamiigusa Misaki out. He then closed the door, locked it, took down the soundproofing headphones on the wall, and put them on. He completed a series of actions in one go.
After all, it is a more terrifying existence than an assassin. Compared with a bloody battle with anyone, being entangled by Kamiigusa is much more tiring. Now is the time when a large amount of work has just been completed. Such a good mood really does not want to be wasted in meaningless communication with this alien.
Then Li Nian returned to his chair and continued to lie there.
He could vaguely feel the sound of knocking on the door, but Li Nian was too lazy to pay attention to it. He just closed his eyes and started a period of meditation that was neither about learning knowledge nor about resting to restore the spirit. He just emptied his mind and thought about nothing, relaxed his body and did nothing, which was generally a waste of time.
But only at this time did Li Nian feel completely at ease.
Li Nian is really busy on weekdays. Both spiritual practice and work make his body and brain work at full capacity. Of course, he deliberately controls the rhythm, leaves time for rest, and arranges it into a process that makes him comfortable, so as to achieve the highest efficiency of combining work and rest, but it can still be said that he never really stops for a moment.
Only when you do nothing and think nothing like now, do you truly feel like you have "stopped operating and are on standby".
It was just that he suddenly wanted to do this... that's what they call taking a break.
Time spent doing nothing and thinking nothing, without any purpose, and without any help for growth, is just a waste of time. This feeling of wasting life is really...
So cool.
It's an addictive feeling.
There is an inexplicable feeling of happiness.
Why not just lie there like this for the whole day?
Li Nian was thinking this way. If nothing unexpected happened, she would just lie there until tomorrow's class...
But before he could remain paralyzed for long, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Li Nian suddenly shuddered, regaining herself from her ethereal state, and quickly took out her phone while preparing to travel around the world again...
But when he looked at the caller, it turned out to be Ms. Machida, which made him feel relieved. Fortunately, it was not a work call... But that was not right. The editor would call him because she wanted to discuss work-related matters with the library. However, Ms. Machida would probably call to ask about the manuscript. He, Li Nian, had just finished writing the manuscript, so there should be no other requests from the library that he needed to respond to.
So Li Nian regained his relaxed mood, answered the phone and said lazily.
"Hello, this is Li Nian."
"Hello, Mr. Muzi. I'm Machida. During this sunny and leisure time, are you writing well?"
Sure enough, the first thing he asked was the progress of Li Nian's manuscript.
Taking this opportunity to hand over the completed first volume of the manuscript, Li Nian was about to answer Ms. Machida that he had actually finished writing the manuscript, but suddenly he changed his mind and asked curiously, "What will Ms. Machida do if I say that not a single word has been changed?"
"Kill you."
"..."
"…Just kidding, of course I can't do that. After all, I'm not a devil."
What a joke! You just said that without thinking, okay?
"Well, actually I have been writing articles well these days..." Li Nian was about to clarify this misunderstanding.
Ms. Machida seemed to have understood something: "Okay, I understand. Does this mean you really didn't say a word?"
"not me……"
"I am coming now."
"I've finished..."
"Beep~" the phone was hung up.
"You listen to what others say!?"
Li Nian didn't even have time to finish his sentence before the other party confirmed his intention and hung up unilaterally. He could only helplessly look at the phone screen showing that the call was over.
Did she think that Li Nian hadn't written a word, and now she was rushing over to urge him to submit his manuscript? Although it had been mentioned before, it seemed that Ms. Machida was the kind of person who translated the three words "writing" into "postponing" in her mind without hesitation?
Mr. Editor, how much you distrust your authors.
Since he was coming, there was no need to call back. But of course Li Nian couldn't just sit there and do nothing. She had to prepare to welcome the guests and print out the manuscript.
With a long sigh of regret, Li Nian reluctantly stood up slowly, took off his headphones, and heard the sound coming from next door.
——"You are too weak, Rinjin-kun! How can you defeat the Demon King and save the world like this?"
——"Of course I can't play a game I've just started! Ah, you actually stole my health pack! Ah! You even stole my equipment?!"
It seems that she has just bought the game and wants to find someone to play with. When she fails to bring trouble to herself, she immediately finds Kanda. It was a perfectly correct decision not to let her in. I'm sorry, Kanda. This is what the saying "a friend's death is the best fate for me" means.
"Hey, hello, newcomer-kun."
As soon as Li Nian went out, he ran into Senior Ren, who seemed to have just come back from outside and was about to go back to his room.
"Hello, Ren-senpai... uh, what about your face?"
Li Nian noticed that there were scratches on Ren's face.
"Hmm? Oh... this one was made by Jiko."
Ren used his fingers to pretend to scratch his face, which made Li Nian look surprised. He thought he was scratched by some stupid cat in Sakurasou, but it turned out to be a woman?
The so-called Ji Zi was one of his sex buddies. At this point, he was too lazy to be surprised that this guy came back from a woman's boudoir, but Li Nian still found it hard to imagine what kind of situation would lead to such a thing. After a slight guess, he frowned and showed an unspeakable expression.
"You guys...are having too much fun..."
Ren's eyes widened at first, then he smiled.
"...Haha! Did you think about that? It seems that the newcomer is not a scary person who only looks at men's butts."
"Who are you talking about... If it's not what I thought, then what exactly is the cause of your injury?"
"…It's nothing. I just called out the wrong name while talking in my sleep and upset others, that's all."
If he calls out another woman's name while sleeping afterwards, he will be grabbed in the face by the furious woman... This is no longer a simple sex buddy relationship but they have developed real feelings for each other... Don't think about it anymore. This is the real step onto the ladder of adulthood and he is a love saint who knows how many levels he has reached. Li Nian cannot understand matters related to the relationship.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
"It hurt so much." Ren said, but smiled: "Noriko refused to tell me whose name she called, and she didn't talk to me in the car. I think it was probably Asami, Kana, Meiko, Suzune, or one of Rumi... But I don't remember at all~~ Then, I was sleeping comfortably when it suddenly came."
"I guess it should be Kamiigusa-senpai's name?"
"..."
Ren was speechless for a moment, but soon smiled as if nothing had happened.
"Oh my, has the newcomer become difficult to deal with?"
Li Nian glanced at Kanda's door over there. Kamiigusa was there, but if he heard the noise of Mitaka coming back, he would definitely leave Kanda and run out to find him.
After thinking about it, Li Nian looked at Mitaka Ren again, his cold gaze fell on the wound, without saying a word.
Senior Ren felt a little nervous when he was looked at like that.
"what happened?"
"…Stand still, I will heal you."
"Eh? You heal... Oh, that's right, this little injury can be easily treated by an exorcist, right?"
Li Nian stretched out his hand, gathered a little spiritual light at his fingertips, and touched the wound on Ren's face, using a technique to heal the wound.
Accompanied by a cool and warm feeling, the pain quickly disappeared. When Ren touched the wound again, he no longer felt anything special. Although he didn't look in the mirror and couldn't see the specific situation, he could understand that the scratch had been healed by Li Nian. Ren exclaimed in amazement and realized once again that the junior in front of him was indeed an exorcist with special abilities. He smiled and thanked Li Nian.
"Thank you very much for your trouble."
"Don't get me wrong, I think you should just keep the wound and endure the pain. I treated it for you, but I didn't want Senior Kamiigusa to see it, in case she asks questions and hurts herself again."
“…So harsh.” Ren smiled bitterly, but said, “Don’t look at me like that. I haven’t done anything recently. I just wanted to cut off the relationship before I went to find someone else. That’s why the lady was angry. It’s a good deal that I can calm down by being caught… As for sleeping, I just fell asleep accidentally because I was tired while chatting with someone.”
Li Nian was slightly stunned.
"I have no choice but to get my scriptwriting skills back. I've been studying till late at night...By the way, you said you wanted to revise the manuscript, how's the progress?"
“…It has just been completed.”
"Oh! That's really efficient. Does that mean Misaki and I can start working too? Then give me a copy later."
After giving these instructions, Mitaka Ren walked past Li Nian and went back to his room. When he passed by Kanda's door, he called out, "Misaki, don't disturb Kota from preparing for his speech."
"Ren! You're back!"
Ignoring the panicked cries of "Wait—you're leaving me alone to deal with the boss?!", Kamiigusa left Kanda behind without hesitation and ran out, following behind Ren like a puppy, all the way to the living room.
Li Nian looked at Mitaka Jin and Misaki who left talking and laughing, and raised her eyebrows in slight surprise. After listening to Jin's words, she realized that it was her misunderstanding to think that he was still entangled with his sex buddies. It seemed that this guy had been thinking about settling those relationships recently.
"What?... So you're planning to sort out your feelings? You're quite a man in that respect."
Suddenly I felt that Senior Ren’s back looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"I was killed by the boss in seconds and it was game over. Really, if you find someone to play games with, just play to the end..."
Kanda walked out of the room at this time with an unwilling expression on his face. Now that he had lost the game, it was almost time for dinner. He was in charge of purchasing the materials today and was planning to go out.
"Hey, Kanda." Li Nian took the initiative to greet him.
"Ah? Oh, it's classmate Li Nian."
"sorry."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"It was me who kicked Ueigusa away, causing her to shift her target to you. Did it disturb your preparations for the speech?"
“Nothing…” Kanda scratched his head, not taking it seriously: “I’ve practiced enough these past few days, and I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress. I feel like I’m almost ready, and I just wanted to relax, so I played with Senior Misaki. It was quite fun.”
"Is that so? That's good. I wish you immediate success in advance."
"Thank you for your kind words... Actually, I don't hold out much hope that I can be selected." Kanda shook his head, but there was a relaxed smile on his face. It seemed that he was well prepared: "No more talking, I'm going to go out and buy things first."
"go Go."
Not long after that, the doorbell rang. Li Nian went out to open the door. As expected, it was Miss Machida standing outside the door. She came faster than expected and seemed to have come in a hurry.
It is worth mentioning that following her was senior sister Kasumigaoka. When she saw Li Nian open the door, she explained to Li Nian with a smile.
"Machida-san asked me where you live, and I also have something to do with Shiina-san, so I'm sorry to bother you with coming here."
Then it was Ms. Machida, who greeted Li Nian with a scary smile on her face.
"So, Mr. Muzi, what's the reason why you didn't say a word? Tell me now."
Chapter 269: Ms. Machida's Arrival
Wow, I feel the real murderous aura...
It can be seen that Ms. Machida was really angry, thinking that Li Nian did not do her job properly. Before Li Nian could say anything, she continued to talk like a machine gun.
"Although generally speaking, for authors who have just published a new book, the schedule is not that tight. After all, for essays submitted for submission, there is generally no need to make any major changes to the manuscript. The judges will look at the manuscripts submitted directly during the review, and will only approve them if they are satisfied with the manuscripts. The parts that need to be revised are not that big. But for you, Mr. Muzi, since you have decided to rewrite a long novel, you need to do the equivalent of rewriting the entire book. The content of the first volume, as the opening of the book, is the top priority. I can understand your idea of carefully polishing it, but the book is about to be released, and you don’t have much time left. There is no spare time to slack off. The manuscript cannot be left untouched for a long time. Please start immediately and improve efficiency while taking into account quality..."
Machida spoke nonstop, discussing the importance of time.
"I've read the outline. Logically, the content of the first volume has been thoroughly arranged. The plot from beginning to end has been properly arranged, and even the relevant details and key points have been clearly marked. It can be seen that Teacher Muzi's ideas are very clear, so I don't quite understand what stopped you from writing? If you are thinking hard to further improve the quality, I can understand it, but I heard your lazy tone on the phone. Are you taking a break and doing something else..."
Li Nian couldn't get a word in and could only listen with his eyes wide open. But suddenly he remembered something and glanced sideways at Kasumigaoka behind him. She seemed to find it very amusing that Li Nian was being lectured by Miss Machida. She was covering her mouth and chuckling.
This guy……
