Chapter 37: Jiang Mengyao’s Concern
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They could already predict that once Wu Mo lost to Unique Treasure Hall in front of the media in a week’s time, the negative news would be even more overwhelming.
It was likely that the reputation of the entire Divine Arms Academy would be affected, so many people in the academy hated him.
It was normal for him to be ostracized by the people in the class.
At that moment, the two boys sitting at the back saw Wu Mo lower his head without a word, so they became greedier, and their words gradually grew more unpleasant.
“The last two, keep your voices down. Professor Zhou Yan will be here soon.”
In order to maintain the atmosphere of the class, the class monitor had no choice but to stand up and speak out to stop them, which caused the various voices to gradually die down.
Wei Jiaming, who was sitting not too far away, saw Wu Mo’s dejected expression, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled up into a cold smile.
‘Degenerate, tremble. Now, this young master will let you waste a few more days. When Sunday comes, I will definitely cripple you in front of everyone!
‘When that time comes, the pain you will suffer will be more than ten times more than what you are suffering now!’
Wei Jiaming’s thoughts were active, and the sinister smile on his face became even more intense. Right now, he couldn’t wait to wait until Sunday to completely release the anger in his heart.
Feeling the killing intent behind him, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. He didn’t even need to look back to know who had no ill intent toward him.
Wu Mo didn’t want to pay attention to that guy who didn’t know when to retreat or advance. Everything would be revealed on Sunday.
At this moment, Wu Mo felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned around and found Jiang Mengyao looking at him with a worried face.
“Uh… What’s wrong?”
Wu Mo was a little surprised.
“Wu Mo, why are you participating in the battle between the two chambers of commerce? What were you thinking?”
Jiang Mengyao frowned slightly and asked in a concerned tone.
From her point of view, Wu Mo’s condition was clearly much worse than before after not seeing her for a day. It was very likely that he didn’t rest well because of the pressure.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Wu Mo’s enemy was a large-scale chamber of commerce in Shanglin City. Moreover, there was a Five-star blacksmith overseeing it. No matter what, Wu Mo was still a student who had yet to enter the academy. How could he be a match for a chamber of commerce?
Thinking about the things that she would have to face after she lost the competition, Jiang Mengyao was very sympathetic.
She was worried that Wu Mo would not be able to bear the pressure and cause problems for his body. She was even more worried that he would do something irrational.
Especially when she sent Wu mo several messages yesterday, but he didn’t reply. That feeling of worry lasted the whole night.
Jiang Mengyao sincerely hoped that Wu mo could adjust his condition and get a good result in the graduation competition. That way, he would be worthy of the few years he spent in the academy.
Sensing that she was feeling a little down, Jiang Mengyao slowly moved her gaze away. She pursed her lips slightly, but in her heart, she still hoped that Wu Mo could tell her that everything was fine.
“Thank you for your concern, Mengyao.” Wu Mo revealed a gentle smile. “Actually, I’m already prepared, and I’m confident that I’ll be able to defeat the people from Unique Treasure Hall. Don’t worry.”
He gestured a big thumbs up with his hand. Wu Mo turned his head back and continued to close his eyes to rest. He was still in a state of mental exhaustion, and he needed to recover as soon as possible so that he could complete the forging of the cloak.
Jiang Mengyao opened her mouth slightly. She was surprised to find that although Wu Mo did not look too good, his condition was the same as usual. He was full of confidence.
This made her emotions a little complicated. She had no idea what to say for a moment.
The breeze went past the window and blew away Jiang Mengyao’s hair that was hanging on her shoulders. She turned her head to look at the blue sky outside the window. The warm sunlight shone on her pretty face, and her beautiful eyes were shining with a clear light.
…
At five o’clock in the evening, Wu Mo walked out of the classroom with a furnace erected around him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and walked briskly towards the male dormitory building.
Wu Mo did not skip classes for the entire day. Instead, he went through the entire process quite honestly, including the theory class and the rough combat class. Although he had already mastered the knowledge taught by the professors to perfection, in order to leave a good impression in the eyes of the teachers for the last half month, Wu Mo made do with it.
Not long after he walked out of the classroom, Wu Mo heard a hurried shout from behind him.
Wu Mo turned his head and saw Jiang Mengyao running toward him hurriedly.
Jiang Mengyao was wearing a light green lotus sleeve dress today. When she ran, her hair swayed gently, and her whole body was full of youthful vitality.
Wu Mo waited for a few seconds, then said to Jiang Mengyao who ran in front of him in surprise, “You… is there anything else you want to tell me?”
On the field, surrounded by trees and shade, students in twos and threes walked past quickly.
Occasionally, some people would cast curious gazes, but most chose to ignore them. Most of them were discussing the content of today’s class, and they brushed past each other.
Jiang Mengyao took a deep breath and complained, “Didn’t I send you a message to wait for me after class?”
Wu Mo was stunned for a moment. He took out his phone and looked at the seven or eight unread messages on it. “Sorry, I didn’t look at my phone today,” he said apologetically.
“Seriously… forget it, let’s go.”
Jiang Mengyao rolled her eyes at him. She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked forward.
Wu Mo had no choice but to follow her. The two walked side by side in silence.
He did not know why Mengyao was looking for him, and he did not dare to speak rashly, afraid that he would anger her again.
Jiang Mengyao walked in front in a huff, but Wu Mo didn’t speak for a long time. She muttered to herself, “What a blockhead.”Then she turned around and looked at Wu Mo, who was silent.
“Have you really thought about what defensive equipment you want to forge to deal with Unique Treasure Hall’s Soft Golden Silk Armor?”
Wu Mo was slightly startled when he heard Jiang Mengyao’s words, then, he nodded and replied, “I’ve thought about it. Moreover, I’m confident that I can defeat that group of people with the forged equipment. Treasure Pavilion sent the materials over yesterday. I’ll be able to forge the equipment within these two days.”
Jiang Mengyao nodded and didn’t say anything else.
The two of them walked on the cobblestone road one after the other. Because of the light rain yesterday, the soil on both sides was still a little muddy, and there was a hint of the smell of soil in the air. The breeze blew gently, making people feel refreshed.
It wasn’t until they were at the fork in the road of the male and female dormitory building that Wu Mo spoke first.
“Mengyao, thank you for being so concerned about me all this time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can always ask me for help.”
Jiang Mengyao’s footsteps stopped. She turned around with a sly smile on her face.
“Really? Then we have a deal. The next time I ask you for help, you can’t go back on your word.”
