Chapter 977: Distress
Please, speak quickly, it's so embarrassing.
Bai Qiyun heard that there was no sound coming from behind him, and he immediately wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
It seems that Lin is right, his ability to find topics is terrible.
Even when facing Fa Lushan, who had been living under the same roof with him in reality for more than a month, he felt that he couldn't let go when facing her.
The 'curse' from childhood still lingers on his head and has not been dissipated.
Perhaps sensing something strange about him, Fa Lushan opened her mouth slightly and spoke softly.
"Um."
She was still as casual as the breeze, just like her strange attitude towards the boy.
But soon, the relationship between the two took a turn for the better.
"Gu...Gu..."
An embarrassing sound came from Fa Lushan's stomach.
For a moment, the atmosphere that had just eased became stagnant again.
But this time it was no longer Bai Qiyun who wanted to get into the hole, but Fa Lushan who was sitting in the carriage.
After a while, Fa Lushan, who couldn't bear it physically, had a trace of blush on her cheeks, and she took the initiative to speak.
"Um...I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, of course there is. Senior, please wait a moment."
Bai Qiyun stopped the carriage by the roadside and got out of the carriage, as if searching for dry food in his backpack.
However, it was actually giving Lin the opportunity to create something out of thin air.
Not long after, a fragrant roast chicken jumped out of his pocket.
Although he didn't know why Xumi had such a thing as roast chicken, Bai Qiyun didn't care too much at the moment and handed it directly to Fa Lushan, whose stomach was growling.
The aroma of oil and meat mixed together was like a cloud of mist, floating unimpeded into Fa Lushan's head, which was already dizzy with hunger.
She didn't know what the food in front of her was, so she swallowed secretly.
The aroma stirred up her already thirsty taste buds like a greedy worm. She tore the roasted chicken in half without any image, and put the charred brown skin and tender white meat into her mouth.
The way she was eating looked like a hungry female leopard.
There is no difference at all except that he does not protect his food, and his identity and temperament as a senior scholar of the Imperial Academy cannot be seen at all.
Bai Qiyun drove the carriage silently like a bodyguard.
At this time, he decided to give Fa Lushan some more private space.
After a while, the sound of wolfing down food behind him slowly stopped.
Just when Fa Lushan looked at the oil stains on her hands and didn't know what to do, Bai Qiyun thoughtfully threw over a wet handkerchief.
"Wipe it."
Hearing this, the blush that had just faded from Fa Lushan's face seemed to be coming back again.
However, Fa Lushan is also an open-minded person and has already accepted the good intentions of the people in front of her, so it doesn't matter if she has more or less.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, it's what students should do."
With the friendship of a roast chicken, the communication between the two can finally begin.
Fa Lushan regained her composure and asked casually.
"Which college are you from?"
"Zhilun Sect, Shiluobodan College."
Hearing this, Fa Lushan raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't say much, but her eyes gradually became more subtle.
"It turns out he's from the Epistemological School... Maybe I know who your teacher is."
"I don't have a teacher yet, I just follow the seniors to study the topics."
Bai Qiyun casually found an excuse to deal with it. He couldn't say that his cheap teacher was the person who had just enjoyed the roast chicken in front of him. That would be too nonsense.
However, this reason easily convinced Fa Lushan.
Because in the teaching academy, most people are unable to study with a teacher.
These people are the best cover for Bai Qiyun's identity.
"Speaking of that, my senior has been studying academics in the desert for a long time, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in his body."
Bai Qiyun was talking about what happened just now when Fa Lushan was so hungry that she fainted.
"It's okay, just a little too involved."
Fa Lushan didn't care.
It is not uncommon for people to faint from hunger due to academic research in the Imperial Academy.
For example, some scholars in the forest-dwelling fanatic stage like to go into the rainforest, and often no one is seen today. If it weren't for the presence of rangers, these guys would probably have a hard time ensuring their own safety.
Afterwards, the two chatted casually for a few more words, and the sky gradually darkened.
Bai Qiyun stopped the carriage in a small forest.
"It seems we won't be able to reach the surrounding villages today, so let's rest here for the night. What do you think, senior?"
"Can."
Fa Lushan didn't think it was a good decision to rush on the road at night in the rainforest.
Suddenly, her nose trembled slightly.
The mud and sweat on her body all day today combined into a ball, turning into a slightly pungent smell.
Although Fa Lushan doesn't pay much attention to her personal grooming, she still attaches great importance to hygiene.
Especially now that I have to travel with someone, the other person would have to have stayed out of the carriage all day, otherwise they would have smelled it.
The sound of running water around her attracted her attention.
In her field of vision, a small river slowly passed through the woods.
"I'll go clean it up, you can set up camp first."
After that, Fa Lushan went into the forest alone.
Although he didn't say it clearly, his words were filled with the meaning of not letting Bai Qiyun follow him.
Seeing this, Bai Qiyun could only shrug.
It's better that Fa Lushan left now, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain the tent that appeared out of thin air.
With a clanking sound, Bai Qiyun fixed the tent sent by Lin to a higher position.
"Can't you just get a tent installed?"
It was obviously something that could be done by raising his hand, but he had to put in the effort to assemble it.
Bai Qiyun felt that the woman definitely did it on purpose.
Just when Bai Qiyun just raised his waist, a scream suddenly came from the woods.
"ah!"
Bai Qiyun immediately pricked up his ears.
"Teacher Fa Lushan?"
He didn't have time to confirm what happened, so he rushed towards the woods immediately.
Seeing the young man's reckless appearance, Lin couldn't help but feel speechless.
This is a dream, what big things can happen.
But looking at the furious look on his face at this moment, he must have forgotten about this matter.
"senior!"
Bai Qiyun pulled the surrounding trees with both hands, letting the surrounding branches hit him without even realizing it.
In desperation, he activated the elemental vision investigation and locked onto the figure of Fa Lushan who fell by the river.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Bai Qiyun stepped forward and helped Fa Lushan up, who had fallen down.
