When I got home, my sister hadn't come back yet. With Little Nine by her side, I didn't need to worry about her safety. In terms of cultivation, I wasn't necessarily Little Nine's opponent. As long as Little Nine was by my sister's side, my sister would have a super bodyguard. Even if the leader of the Heavenly Yin Cult came, he might not be able to hurt my sister. Of course, the most powerful thing in the world wasn't magic power, but scheming.
I prepared the meal myself and sat in the living room, watching TV while waiting for my sister to come back. At this time, I received a call from my sister, saying that she had to work overtime at school and would come back late. She asked me to eat alone. I felt that my sister was in a hurry these days, as if she was hiding something from me. After eating, I practiced my calligraphy and painting. I also practiced a song on the Guqin.
Then, I thought about a question that had been bothering me recently. My teacher said that the most fundamental question for humans was: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where did I go?
I thought that these three questions wouldn't be a problem for a cultivator like me. I was my own divine sense, born from the intersection of Yin and Yang. I sought immortality, so my future was naturally eternal. However, I was confused occasionally. Was I really a divine sense born from the intersection of Yin and Yang? Cultivators knew about their past life and present life. Then, who was my past life? Could immortality really make me eternal? Every time these doubts appeared, I would find that the Dao tree in my heart would start to sway. Because I didn't know, after a cultivator cultivated, was there really any meaning in living forever like a tree or a planet? Cultivation was a kind of life, and this kind of life was really full of meaning. I was full of doubts about the future, but my wisdom wasn't enough to solve them.
While my mind was in a mess, I entered the dreamland. This place was beautiful, as if I was the only person left in this world.
"Ah!" I let out a loud shout.
It was as if time had stopped in the entire dreamscape. All the living beings stopped in their tracks, and their faces were filled with confusion. Some of the small spirit beasts looked terrified. However, it was as if a small stone had been thrown into the calm water, creating a ripple that spread in all directions. Then, it quickly returned to normal.
"Maybe I'll know the answer when I grow up," I answered myself in the stupidest way. The young man's heart seemed to have been released in an instant. He relaxed and his Dao heart calmed down again.
Sister came home very late, with a hint of exhaustion.
"Jingyang, why aren't you asleep yet? You still have to go to school tomorrow. Go to sleep quickly. " My sister saw me sitting on the sofa in a daze, so she put down the things in her hands and walked over to give me a gentle push.
"Sis, why did you come back so late? Is your school that busy? "I asked.
"A batch of information just arrived from the research lab, so I quickly sorted it out. I haven't done such a big job for a long time. "Although the elder sister looked tired, she was still very excited.
"Is it the Oracle Bone Inscriptions you mentioned last time?" Looking at my sister's expression, I vaguely knew what was going on.
"Jingyang, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but if you want me to go to that place, I definitely won't agree. But now, the other side has sent these cultural relics directly to my research lab. I'm doing this now, so how can I refuse when others send it to my door? "Sister said with some difficulty.
"I'll go take a look tomorrow. Also, no matter where you go in the future, you have to bring Xiao Jiu with you. Xiao Jiu is very strong, so no matter what the situation is, you can handle it. "I warned.
"I'll bring Xiao Jiu with me. Don't go to the research lab. If you want to go, wait until the weekend. You're in high school now. Schoolwork is also more intense than before. If you want to get into a good university, you have to start working hard from the first year of high school. You can't lose at the starting line. Do you understand? "Sister hurriedly warned.
"Okay." I nodded.
Because the mid-term exam is coming, Teacher Wang definitely won't allow me to take a break. Although I can act first and report later, I don't want to be different from the other students. Anyway, it's almost the weekend. Sister has Xiao Jiu's protection, so nothing will happen. Being late for two days won't be a problem. My interest in Oracle Bone Inscriptions isn't as big as before. It's mainly because I'm confused about my path of cultivation. I feel like what I need to solve the most is why I cultivate, and not how I cultivate.
"Okay okay, hurry up and go to sleep," Sister hurriedly urged.
In the morning, just as I walked through the school gate, Li Wan walked towards me.
"Huang Jingyang, what a coincidence, you also just got to school?" Li Wan said to me with a smile.
No matter how naive I am, I know that there isn't such a coincidence. When I just entered the school gate, I clearly didn't see Li Wan, Li Wan walked over from under a tree inside the school gate. She kept looking at the time at the start, it seems like she already figured out the pattern of when I came to school.
"En, you also come to school at this time every day," I could only cooperate with Li Wan.
"Yeah, yeah. I brought a bit of breakfast from home, my dad knows how to make breakfast. Try it, see if it suits your taste. " Li Wan took out a plastic box from her bag, and even specially wrapped it tightly with a towel, probably to keep it warm. After she opened the towel, it was still warm inside.
Since she was so considerate, I couldn't not give face, being cared for by others, it always makes me feel very touched. I can feel Li Wan's sincerity.
"Ai, thanks," I received the plastic box, and felt the temperature of the box.
"What are you thanking for? It's made at home, you didn't spend any money, "Li Wan helped me open the box, and took out a pair of chopsticks from the side." It's clean. Don't worry. "
Just as I was about to eat, I heard someone shout from behind, which scared me, and the dumplings on my chopsticks directly fell down. Fortunately, I was a cultivator, and had sharp eyes and quick hands, and actually quickly picked up the dumplings that fell in midair.
"Huang Jingyang, your family's Li Wan prepared breakfast for you right?" I didn't need to turn around, and knew that the person who came was Wei Mohen.
A hint of shyness appeared on Li Wan's face, but the aura of battle also rolled over.
"Wei Mohen! Do you believe that I won't make Xiao Manli ignore you in the future? "Li Wan pointed at Wei Mohen and said fiercely.
Wei Mohen was really scared, although Xiao Manli had a good impression of him, it wasn't to the point that she couldn't live without him. However, Xiao Manli has always listened to Li Wan, this good sister, since they were young. Who told the two of them to grow up in the same courtyard?
"Don't. Li Wan, great aunt, you have to be merciful, "Wei Mohen immediately turned into a docile puppy, and wagged his tail to please Li Wan.
I couldn't help but chuckle, it really was like boiling tofu in brine, everything has its vanquisher.
Wei Mohen looked at me with a face full of resentment, "Huang Jingyang, you're too unbrotherly. Your brother is in trouble, yet you can still laugh. "
"Don't mind him, hurry up and finish your breakfast. Class is about to start, "Li Wan's tone towards me seemed to have changed into a different person. Women really were monsters that were mixed up with all kinds of contradictions, she was so fiery just now, and became so gentle in the blink of an eye.
"Huang Jingyang, the midterms are today, how are your preparations going?" Li Wan asked.
I wouldn't specially prepare for the midterms, I have never worked especially hard for exams since I was young. In the past, I would listen whenever I wanted to in class, unlike now, where I still attended classes obediently every day. Although I might not listen attentively every minute and every second. But compared to before, it was still a huge improvement.
"It's okay," I said a bit half-heartedly.
"Then you have to work harder, Tan Liwen has always been very hardworking, he's counting on beating you in the exam. You've caused him to be deserted by everyone in class. No one in class is willing to talk to him. He studies so hard just to beat you in studies, "Li Wan said with a bit of worry.
"Whatever. Isn't it just an exam? It's not like it's the college entrance exam, "I didn't care.
"Who cares if it's the college entrance exam, it's better to do well than to do poorly," Li Wan looked at me from time to time as she walked.
"It's the exam today anyway, it's too late to say anything," I smiled. Exams have never been something too important to me.
"Then be more careful on the exam. I heard Tan Liwen say to people outside the class that you got in through the back door, and only know how to do some crooked things, in terms of grades, you aren't his opponent, "Li Wan kept staring at me when she said this, as if she was afraid that I would be unhappy.
"Actually he's not wrong. I was only able to enter Yan University because my jiejie came to work. Although it doesn't count as getting in through the back door, Tan Liwen's words aren't wrong, "I didn't care about this kind of thing.
A person like Tan Liwen was like an ant in my eyes. How could anything he said affect me?
"I just want to see you do better, and give him a beautiful slap," Li Wan snorted. It was clear that she cared more about Tan Liwen's words than me.
The midterms weren't as big as the final exams, the seats in the classroom were only pulled open a bit. Even the books in the desks weren't cleared away. It was just like a normal exam.
"This exam is the students' first exam after entering high school. I hope everyone can follow the exam discipline. Find out your true grades … "Wang Shipeng stood on the podium and said a few words before handing out the papers.
Wang-laoshi and the English teacher were invigilating the exam together, one at the front and one at the back, the severity of the invigilation was no less than the final exams.
I had already stopped writing after twenty something minutes.
Wang-laoshi walked towards me, "Huang Jingyang, why aren't you answering?"
"I finished, can I hand it in early?" I didn't want to be too independent, who knew that Wang-laoshi would give me such a chance.
"Finished?" Wang-laoshi flipped open my paper, and looked through it from start to finish, and noticed that my paper was really full, it was neat, and didn't change a single word from start to finish. Furthermore, it looks like the answers were all correct.
"Can I hand it in?" I asked.
"Okay," Wang-laoshi said casually. When he wanted me to sit down and check again, I had already walked out quickly.
