The day to go to Xumi soon arrived.

"So... you're going to Xumi too?"

At the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, Nangong Ya looked at the little Ruotuo who was following her with confusion.

"Of course, I won't stay here and be Morax's daughter."

Xiao Ruotu nodded and said affirmatively that she had wanted to run away since she felt she had fallen into a trap.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoli, Uncle Meng has prepared some food for you, don't get hungry on the way."

Lao Meng, the ceremonial attendant of the Wangsheng Hall, came over and stuffed several sealed food boxes into the hands of Nangong Ya, Xiao Ruotuo and the others.

Since Zhong Li was very well-behaved, sensible and quiet, he gained a lot of favorability among the employees of Wangsheng Hall, which was a good thing for Xiao Ruotu.

Knowing that Xiao Ruotuo was leaving, many employees came to give them gifts. Nangong Ya was lucky enough to get some. Usually, when she left, she would just say what she wanted and leave, and others would not have the chance to prepare anything for her.

Finally, Hu Tao also helped Xiao Ruo Tuo pack her luggage, including the various clothes and toys that the immortals had bought for her during the Zhongli period. As a result, this baggage was heavier than Nangong Ya and Xiao Ruo Tuo combined...

However, Hu Tao had already seen Nangong Ya use the Chen Ge Gourd, so the big baggage was put into Nangong Ya's Chen Ge Gourd.

Everything was ready. Nangong Ya said goodbye to Hu Tao, Zhongli and the others, then took Xiao Ruo Tuo away from the Hall of Rebirth to meet Ying and the others.

"Xiaoya, you guys are here, the timing is just right!"

When they reached the road outside the Golden House leading to the Layered Abyss, Paimon, who had been waiting for a while, waved towards the two of them.

"Sister Ying, Paimon, I'm glad we're not late... Who is this?"

Nangong Ya responded, and then noticed the black-haired girl standing next to the two of them, wearing the uniform of a scholar from the Academy of Teachings.

"This is our employer. We are going to Xumi anyway, so we might as well take an escort mission to earn some Mora."

Paimon explained to Nangong Ya.

"Hello, my name is Li Qingya, a scholar of the Shenglun School."

Li Qingya politely introduced herself to Nangong Ya and Xiao Ruotuo, but her eyes couldn't help but fall on Xiao Ruotuo. After all, her dragon horns and dragon tail were too eye-catching when they first met.

"..."

Nangong Ya was stunned when she heard the name, until Paimon stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her in confusion, she came to her senses.

"Oh, sorry for getting distracted..."

Nangong Ya shook her head and explained.

"Hello, my name is Nangong Ya. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xiaoya. The one next to me is Zhong Ruoli."

Nangong Ya came back to her senses and told Li Qingya her name and the alias Xiao Ruotuo.

"Xiao Ya, but this name is a bit strange. It feels like you are calling me..."

Li Qingya chuckled. People also called her that when she was a child.

In this way, everyone got to know each other and then headed towards the rock abyss.

As long as you pass through the rocky abyss, you can reach the rain forest of Xumi.

With Ying, who had accepted the commission as the escort, there was naturally no trouble along the way. The ignorant hillbillies were knocked unconscious by the stones thrown by Ying as soon as they showed up. Sometimes, Li Qingya, the only ordinary person among the crowd, did not even notice the trace of the monsters.

"Ah, Stoney Abyss, you are all stone!"

As they were about to reach the Layered Abyss, the former home of the Rock Dragon Lizard, the uneducated little Ruota couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to the rocks, there are many more flowers in the Layered Abyss now. I wanted to study why these glass lilies appeared before, so I missed the time to go back for the Lantern Festival..."

Hearing Xiao Ruotuo's sigh, Li Qingya suddenly spoke up and said that this was also the reason why she met Li Qian in prison after the Lantern Festival was over.

At this time, everyone also walked into the rock abyss. The glazed lilies planted by Nangong Ya, Ying and Paimon last time were still in full bloom. They even took root in the solid rock somewhat unreasonably.

It can be said that as long as the elemental power left by Nangong Ya is not exhausted, they will continue to grow here.

"?"

Seeing the glazed lilies growing on the surface of the rocky abyss, Xiao Ruotu tilted her head and then looked at Nangong Ya with a face full of grief and anger. She didn't expect that her home had been robbed!

Feeling Xiao Ruotuo's sad and angry look, Nangong Ya turned her eyes away guiltily.

"Damn it, I'm going to eat all the glass lilies here and let you grow wild!"

Little Ruota angrily pulled up the glass lily next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Wait, you're not Ganyu, you can't finish it, don't choke!"

Paimon quickly stopped Xiao Ruota.

In the end, little Ruota had to accept this fact and continued to move forward with the crowd.

"Just now you said you forgot the time while studying the glass lily. Are you a scholar in charge of studying plants in the Ministry of Education?"

On the way forward, Paimeng asked Li Qingya curiously.

She knew that Xumi was the kingdom of knowledge, and had also heard of the Temple of the Lord, but she had not yet learned the details.

"Scholars of the Life Theory School mainly study biology, ecology and medicine. Although I major in medicine, I also dabble in other disciplines."

Li Qingya nodded, and then explained to everyone the six major schools of the Jiaoling Academy, namely the Shenglun School, the Minglun School, the Sulun School, the Zhilun School, the Miaolun School, and the Yinlun School.

"The Lifeist School..."

Little Ruota's tail twitched subconsciously, and he seemed to be somewhat interested in this school of thought.

"You're not going to study at the Ordination College, are you?"

Seeing Xiao Ruotuo's reaction, Nangong Ya looked at Xiao Ruotuo in surprise.

"Yeah, Liu Yun said that only knowledge can change destiny. My previous tragic experiences were all because I had no education, so I want to change the status quo!"

Little Ruota nodded and spoke with certainty.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so aware. If it were Paimon, he would probably get sleepy as soon as he saw the book."

Paimon said in surprise.

"Well, I want to fight for my own destiny. I want people to gradually change from questioning dragon lizards to understanding them, then becoming dragon lizards themselves, and finally surpassing them!"

Little Ruota clenched his little fists and spoke with a firm look on his face.

"Wow, well said, Supersaurosaurus!"

Paimeng clapped his hands quickly, and Ying and Li Qingya followed suit.

Nangong Ya couldn't help but think about the scene where Ruotu Dragon King became a scholar, sitting on the ground with a body as big as a mountain, wearing a small magnifying lens, holding a book in his two paws and studying...

"Well, the Church of the Lords will not reject anyone who wants to gain knowledge, but I am just an ordinary scholar and do not have that authority. When we arrive at Huachenggu, I will take you to see Senior Tinari. If he is willing to write a letter of recommendation for you, your admission will be secure."

Li Qingya admired Xiao Ruotuo's awareness very much, although she didn't know why she wanted to study dragon lizards.

In this way, everyone quickly arrived at the Cinnabar Cliff area, and from here they passed through the layers of rock and reached the rain forest of Xumi.

However, the road to the Chasm is not an officially opened road. The correct way should be to take a boat from Liyue Harbor to Omos Port in Xumi. The road to the Chasm is actually a mine cave that accidentally connects to the Xumi Rainforest. It is relatively damp and muddy and not very comfortable to walk on.
