Chapter 0009: The Campus Belle of Ningda

"Hey, wasn't that person buying flowers just now Ye Mo from our school? He actually has a girlfriend? What he said was quite philosophical; flowers for a girlfriend shouldn't be discounted. Who has the audacity to be his girlfriend?" Two girls at the school gate saw Ye Mo walking into the school with a bouquet of roses, and one girl who knew him asked curiously.

That morning, Ye Mo got up a little later than usual, having slept an extra hour. By the time he arrived at Ninghai University, it was already past 7 o'clock. He then went to a snack shop outside the campus to get a bowl of soy milk and a few steamed buns. By the time he finished eating, it was nearly 8 o'clock.

If it were after school, these flowers and leaves might have been thrown to Xu Wei, but now that they are in school, it seems he can only find a trash can to dispose of them

However, when Ye Mo saw Zheng Wenqiao, who had just gotten out of a BMW nearby with a grim and terrifying expression, he knew that he had once again been used as a shield.

"Big brother, I still need to ask you for money," the little girl said. Upon seeing a one-hundred-yuan note, she thought that if she were to ask for it all, she would charge at most three yuan per flower, and even five yuan per flower could be negotiated.

As was not unexpected by everyone, Ye Mo did not pass any of his courses and had to retake all of them along with his library studies. However, Ye Mo did not take it seriously, nor did the school. For an average student, failing more than three courses could lead to severe penalties, including possible expulsion, but Ye Mo belonged to a privileged class of individuals

After speaking, Su Mei quickly took a few steps and arrived beside Ye Mo. She reached out to link her arm with his and said in an extremely gentle tone: "Mozi, why did you just arrive? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Is this flower bought for me? It is truly beautiful"

"Alright, I will take all the flowers you have in your hand, and here is the money for you." Ye Mo glanced at the roses in the little girl's hand, estimating there to be about twenty. He took out one hundred yuan and handed it to the girl, took the flowers from her hand, and turned to leave.

As a result, the remaining money had once again plunged him into a crisis. By the time he had everything ready, Ninghai University had already started its academic year, and Ye Mo was now a senior at Ninghai University.

"Xiao Mei, I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to run into you at the school gate. You seem quite free today, so let me treat you to a meal. You wouldn't say you have no time, would you?" Before Yan Zi could respond, a voice had already reached them in time.

Five pieces, if there are more, then three pieces. Regarding the book, the young girl, upon hearing that Ye Mo was going to buy flowers, immediately spoke in a somewhat crisp tone, clearly indicating that Ye Mo's words had boosted her confidence

Su Mei, you are the most beautiful girl at Ninghai University, of course you do not know about his tragic world, but I do know this person, it is said that he is a tragedy. Let's catch up and see who his girlfriend is." Another girl chuckled.

Ye Mo looked at the listless little girl. The weather at the end of September was still somewhat cool in the mornings. This young girl was out selling roses so early, indicating that her family must be facing some difficulties. Ye Mo recalled his own childhood; he was also a homeless child, and it wasn't until he was nine that an old Taoist brought him to his master's sect. However, less than a year later, the old Taoist passed away. After the old Taoist's death, he followed his master, Luo Ying, and his life finally took a turn for the better.

"Big brother, would you like to buy a flower?" A little girl holding a bouquet of fresh flowers nervously approached Ye Mo in front of the snack shop.

"Today is Saturday, and I am helping my sister sell flowers," the little girl replied in a very soft voice. However, Ye Mo could still sense her guilt. Nevertheless, Ye Mo did not dwell on it and simply asked, "Alright, I will buy some. How much is each flower?"

On the second day, Ye Mo did not go to Qingdu Lake Park for exercise again. Instead, he got up early in the morning to practice a set of punches in the yard, and then went out to buy some things

He was thinking to himself that he had not realized today was actually Saturday; he had been running around every day and had completely lost track of time

"This is Zheng Wenqiao, the first young master of Ningda. Meimei, you are truly charming. The first campus beauty and the first young master, I really envy you..." Yan Zi looked at Su Mei with a face full of envy, her eyes reflecting a desire to be Su Mei herself.

"Yan Zi, I feel that he didn't buy it for his girlfriend, but rather for that little girl," said a girl named Su Mei, frowning.

Is he Ye Mo?" Another girl asked with a hint of surprise, although she was undoubtedly much more beautiful than the girl who spoke just now. It was clear that her question implied she had heard of Ye Mo but did not know him personally.

The second week of the new semester has already begun. Although Ye Mo has not yet set up his small medical stall at the night market, he has already felt significant progress in his "Cloud Shadow Steps." It seems that the nearly seventy miles of commuting every day is beneficial for him, akin to studying from books.

This woman, believing herself to be somewhat beautiful, looks down on others. For her, it is merely a simple matter of using herself as a shield; after the incident, she simply walks away, leaving the mess behind for others to deal with. It seems she considers it an honor for Ye Mo to be used as her shield. Such a self-righteous woman appears to have an overly inflated sense of self-worth.

"No need, flowers for my girlfriend cannot be discounted, goodbye." Ye Mo picked up the flowers and had already disappeared at the gate of Ninghai University

Looking at the beautiful woman who was smiling radiantly to herself, Ye Mo let out a cold snort in his heart, and a sense of disgust rose from the depths of his being

Every day, Ye Mo runs to Ninghai University, primarily to practice his "Cloud Shadow Steps." Currently, he is unable to make progress in his cultivation, and if he cannot even improve his mundane martial arts, he truly feels a sense of crisis. However, he is relieved that he does not sense the kind of life-and-death crisis prevalent in the Luoyue Continent, which brings him a considerable sense of peace

"Why aren't you in school?" Ye Mo thought to himself that this was precisely the time for classes, and here, it was a nine-year compulsory education system; this little girl should not be out of school.

Regarding the retake exams, Ye Mo did not pay any attention; he did not take it to heart at all. He was still focused on preparing for his night market stall, which did not conflict with his daytime visits to the school library and his nighttime activities at the night market.

Su Mei's expression darkened, and she immediately turned to look at the young gentleman, apologetically saying: "I’m sorry, my boyfriend has already arrived"

Although he has been expelled from the Ye family, the school will not offend the Ye family over such matters. Who knows what games a prominent family plays? In any case, he will leave after completing four years, and the school will not incur any losses. Moreover, he did not gain admission to Ninghai University through examination in the first place.

Ye Mo was inexplicably approached by a beautiful woman he did not know, who took his arm and picked up the flowers in her hand, claiming they were a gift for her. He wondered when he had such a beautiful girlfriend, and how he himself was unaware of it.

A BMW 7 Series car came to a steady stop at the school gate. A young man, who had a decent appearance but somewhat unhealthy pale skin, got out of the car. Upon seeing Su Mei, he wore a joyful expression.

A small medical box, along with a set of silver needles, and in addition, a collection of medicinal herbs was purchased to concoct some simple pills and decoctions. Of course, these cannot even be considered the most basic elixirs, but for Ye Mo, these items were sufficient for him to set up a stall.
