Chapter 108 Familiar!
After shaking hands with Wei Dongming, Shen Mo patted Zheng Hao on the shoulder and asked, "Is your leg better?"
"It wasn't anything serious to begin with!" Zheng Hao said with a grin. "My family was worried, so they made me get several more checkups at the hospital before they let me out."
Shen Mo nodded, then looked at Li Zitao beside him.
He could clearly sense that Li Zitao seemed to have become stronger.
"Has it been elevated?"
"Yes!" Li Zitao nodded with a smile.
"Silence!"
Just then, Shi Lan's rough voice rang out again.
"How come you've grown so tall in just a few days?"
Standing before Shen Mo, Shi Lan looked him up and down, then exclaimed in shock, "You wouldn't...!"
'
Shen Mo smiled and looked behind him.
Shi Lan stopped talking, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Pulling Shen Mo's arm, he introduced the two men and one woman who had just gotten out of the car: "These are Feng Zheng and Zhu Shijie, the new members of our team!"
This off-road vehicle was the one they brought into the team.
Shen Mo glanced at the two of them.
The man named Feng Zheng was wearing scale armor and a bronze badge on his chest; he looked to be under thirty years old.
He has a buzz cut, is 1.8 meters tall, and has a smiling face, making him look quite mature.
As for the one named Zhu Shijie, he looked quite young, in his early twenties, with an indifferent expression.
While Shen Mo was sizing up the two of them, the two of them were also sizing up Shen Mo.
I saw the black iron badge on Shen Mo's chest.
Feng Zheng remained expressionless, while Zhu Shijie lost interest and glanced at the girl beside him.
"Hello!" Shen Mo nodded to the two of them.
"Haha, seeing is believing!"
Feng Zheng smiled and said, "I've heard Zheng Hao and the other guy talking about you a lot these past few days, and today we finally meet."
"Oh!
Zhu Shijie, who was standing to the side, scoffed.
Shen Mo narrowed his eyes, turned to look at Zhu Shijie, and said, "Did you let something slip?"
"Pfft~"
Zheng Hao, who was about to speak, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shen Mo's words.
Feng Zheng's smile froze.
Zhu Shijie's face darkened, and he turned to look at Shen Mo.
Just as he was about to step forward to say something, Feng Zheng stopped him with his hand.
"Haha, Shen Mo, let me introduce you to someone else!"
Shi Lan gave Feng Zheng a wink and pulled Shen Mo to the remaining girl.
The girl was not yet twenty years old.
Her eyebrows were like swords, her eyes like stars, and her phoenix eyes were lively and spirited.
She was already very beautiful, but what was even more attractive was her heroic spirit.
The moment Shen Mo saw the girl, his heart skipped a beat.
It's not because the girl is particularly pretty.
It was because he had seen her before, and the long spear in her hand.
The gun was a standard-issue rifle, nothing special.
But some of the marks on it, observed by Shen Mo, matched the one he remembered.
"Isn't it beautiful!"
Seeing Shen Mo pause in surprise, Shi Lan said with a smile, "Her name is Li Xue, my friend's daughter, and now she is my apprentice."
She's very talented!
Although she only went out on a mission with me today, she has already mastered two combat skills, and her physique is on the verge of sublimation!
Li Xue?
Shen Mo connected it with the girl in the photo in Li Yunpeng's wallet.
Li Xue in the photo looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
That morning, Shi Lan said she was going to attend a funeral, could it be...?
Connecting the dots, Shen Mo understood the situation.
"Hello, Teacher Shen!"
Li Xue greeted them politely.
He nodded, remaining silent.
He turned around and chatted with Shi Lan and the others for a few minutes, learning that they were going to the Demon Realm to do a mission and were now preparing to park their car at the outpost.
"How about it, do you want to join us?" Shi Lan invited Shen Mo.
Upon hearing this, Wei Dongming and the other two didn't react much.
Shen Mo noticed a slight change in Feng Zheng's expression.
Seeing his gaze, she nodded and smiled.
Zhu Shijie simply put on a long face, looking completely unwilling.
"No need, I need to go turn in my mission."
Shen Mo shook his head and refused.
"You succeeded?"
Shi Lan was taken aback at first, then looked Shen Mo up and down before laughing self-deprecatingly, "That's right, with your strength, how could you possibly fail?"
Shen Mo smiled upon hearing this, chatted for a couple more minutes, and then, amidst Zhu Shijie's impatient expression, bid farewell to everyone.
The vehicle started again and finally stopped at the MG-S-3 outpost.
After paying, the group of seven left the outpost and headed towards the Demon Realm.
Seeing Zheng Hao and Li Zitao still discussing Shen Mo, they were quite startled.
Unable to contain himself, Zhu Shijie sarcastically remarked, "At your age, you don't even have a Witcher's license."
What's the point of praising someone so highly?
"Who are you talking about?" Zheng Hao glared at Zhu Shijie. "What's it to you if we're talking about Teacher Shen?"
He's been unhappy with Zhu Shijie for a long time.
This person looked down on everyone as soon as he joined the team.
Their words and actions showed a great deal of disdain for him and Li Zitao.
This is also why he was so enthusiastic when he saw Shen Mo.
Not only because Shen Mo had saved him, but also because he had heard that Shen Mo's physique had undergone a second transformation.
In Zheng Hao's opinion, Zhu Shijie is far inferior to Shen Mo.
It's a pity Shen Mo didn't participate in this mission.
In fact, Zhu Shijie's bad attitude towards Shen Mo was partly due to Zheng Hao's constant bringing up of Shen Mo these past two days.
So what if it's sublimated twice?
He's the same!
The argument between the two was quickly quelled by Shi Lan, Feng Zheng, and Wei Dongming.
After being asked by his master to apologize to Zhu Shijie, Zheng Hao felt aggrieved.
Taking advantage of his conversation with Li Zitao, he continued to provoke Zhu Shijie with Shen Mo.
"Teacher Shen is probably not even twenty years old yet!"
"Wow, that's amazing! A Black Iron-level Witcher at such a young age!"
"When I first met him, he wasn't a Witcher yet."
Only two weeks have passed, and he has not only undergone two ascensions, but has even applied for the Bronze Trial!
Judging from what he said, it seems it passed!
"The trials we passed before and after the demonic tide were simply too intense!"
"Heh, if I hadn't been too busy with the trials, I would have been a Bronze-level Demon Hunter long ago!"
Zhu Shijie sneered at Zheng Hao's words.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Li Xue following behind Shi Lan, and his heart warmed instantly. He wanted to go over and chat with her.
But then he saw Li Xue, looking quite curious, approach Zheng Hao and Li Zitao and ask about Shen Mo's situation...
"When did you go dig up the shark tooth vine?"
"October 4th."
"Did Teacher Shen pass the Black Iron Trial before the Demon Tide?"
"Yes, I remember October 6th perfectly clearly!"
"Wasn't the demonic tide already out by then? How did Teacher Shen manage to complete the mission?"
"He went to the west side of the city!"
"The west side of the city?"
"Yeah, he's probably off on a mission to find the demon corpses. Captain Shi Lan even specifically asked us to come find him!"
Touching the spear in her hand, Li Xue's heart stirred, and she subtly inquired about more details about Shen Mo.
She had just noticed that Shen Mo's gaze towards her was off.
I thought it was because of my appearance.
Now it seems that this is not the case...
