Chapter 369: Conversation with an Old Friend

It's like a fine wine that becomes more mellow as time goes by.

Zhang Mo's dressing style is also very different from before. Take today's clothes as an example. Zhang Mo is wearing a light blue dress with several elegant patterns carved on the skirt. The hem of the skirt just covers her feet.

The style is relatively loose, but it can't hide the curvy figure.

Charming and graceful.

The waist is even equipped with jade pendants, sachets and jade belts.

In the past, she would have been a female knight-errant with a distinctive personality, from her temperament to her dress.

Now she looks more like a female elder who has been in a high position for a long time.

The change in this is not a big one.

"How are you doing?" Li Changxiao added some firewood to the fire, and the fire burned a little brighter.

The two sat opposite each other in front of the fire.

Zhao Qiu and Wang Huang just went out to look for firewood.

With no one to disturb you, isn't it a good time for long-lost friends to get together and chat.

Zhang Mo sighed softly, "Good or bad, now I rarely travel out, and I gradually have to put on airs, otherwise the juniors will not obey the discipline."

"It's just that in the past ten years or so, the situation in the world seems to be unstable, and Lijiu City has also been affected. There are more strange cases than usual, but we can still deal with it."

"What about you?" Zhang Mo looked at Li Changxiao.

"I..." Li Changxiao sighed leisurely, "Okay, let's just wait and see. It's just that sometimes I feel a little confused, well... it's not really confused. I can't tell you what it feels like."

"You really don't need my help with this rope?" Li Changxiao thought of something and pointed to the black match rope on Zhang Mo's body.

Zhang Mo rolled her eyes at him, "Aren't you afraid of exposing your strength if you help me rashly?"

"I have never wanted to hide my strength." Li Changxiao explained helplessly.

Zhang Mo had a girlish look on his face and said, "I'd better not bother you to take action. I don't want to become your thug for no reason."

There is a bit of anger in these words.

She knew that Li Changxiao had magical means that could influence people's behavior invisibly.

Therefore, he can easily solve many things without having to do it himself.

She had experienced a lot in the past few years when they were investigating cases together in Lijiu City. For example, in times of crisis, the other party is suddenly in a hurry and makes mistakes...etc.

Li Changxiao joked: "You are obviously mature, but why is your temper even worse than before? She is like a girl who has not yet left the court."

"Hmph." Zhang Mo snorted.

"By the way, after all these years, have you found any young heroes that you have fallen in love with?" Li Changxiao asked casually.

Zhang Mo said: "I have spent all my energy waiting for someone, so how can I have time to see others?"

A strange light flashed in her eyes, then went out immediately.

Then, he spoke again and added: "However, there is really nothing to like about them. It's not that they are bad, it's just that I don't like them."

"Li Changxiao." Zhang Mo suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

Zhang Mo looked straight at the drunkard's face.

His expression suddenly became serious.

Her red lips parted slightly, "Are you... a monk?"

"Yes." Li Changxiao did not hide anything. In fact, he had never insisted on concealing anything.

Any time she asked a question, Li Changxiao would give the real answer.

"Sure enough." Zhang Mo's expression darkened inexplicably.

"When did you know that monks existed?" Li Changxiao asked.

"I've known it for a long time." Zhang Mo exhaled and said, "The monks moved mountains and reclaimed seas. Compared with them, mortal warriors like me are like poor imitators."

"As long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find this group. And this time when I dived into the ancient ruins, I successively discovered some information on the techniques, which made me more certain of the existence of the monks."

"So...as a monk, you rarely do anything yourself. Do you think that when we fight, we are as childish as children?"

Zhang Mo looked at the swaying firewood with a complicated expression and felt a little uneasy.

Li Changxiao shook his head, "No."

He said seriously: "I don't think the reform is a poor imitator, but a forging ahead pioneer."

"I rarely participate in battles because I am lazy. In addition, warriors' fights are more enjoyable to watch than monks' fights."

"Moreover, if I had a hand in any kind of battle, wouldn't I become a bully?" Li Changxiao's tone was relaxed and somewhat joking.

Zhang Mo was so amused that she wanted to laugh, and the vague worries in her heart dissipated a little bit, but the word "pioneer" attracted her attention.

Her eyes reflected the firelight and were extremely bright, "Pioneer?"

"Yeah." Li Changxiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's put it this way, one road has been broken, and everyone has decided to open up a new road, and you are the first group of people walking on a certain new road."

"Even though this new road is far inferior to the old road, those who return halfway have no right to laugh at the pioneers."

Having said this, Li Changxiao said half-jokingly: "If any monk dares to laugh at you, tell me and I will help you take revenge."

"That's not true." Zhang Mo chuckled, drew circles on the ground with his toes, and asked again: "I want to ask another question."

"Since you are a monk, have a long lifespan, and are powerful...will you regard me as a friend? A true good friend, or...in those few years since I left Jiucheng, have I just been an insignificant flower to you? The little splash?”

Li Changxiao was stunned when he heard this.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "When did you become so indecisive, like a little girl?"

Zhang Mo was a little annoyed, "Don't worry, just answer."

Li Changxiao said sincerely, "Of course we are friends."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. I have lived to this day, and I can only count the number of friends I can really count as two hands."

"I have always regarded you as a true friend. This friendship is real, you don't have to doubt it."

"You are so eloquent." Zhang Mo spat, her mouth corners raised, happy from the bottom of her heart.

This sentence is enough.

In fact, in the past few decades, Zhou Qingyu, the leader of Dayan Huazong, had found Zhang Mo and told her something.

Tell her that Li Changxiao is a cultivator.

He also told her that the experience she cherished might be just a plain splash in the long river of life in the eyes of the other party. Maybe it has been forgotten by the other party.

Or maybe, for him, it is not worth remembering at all.

She didn't think Li Changxiao would be like this, but...she still had some questions to ask.

Today, she asked.

Li Changxiao's frankness made her very happy, and completely dispelled her little worries that had arisen for unknown reasons.

Even if she was just a small splash in the long river of his life.

But he would remember her longer than anyone else.

"You say I, Zhang Mo, am unlucky... I am really unlucky, but you say I am lucky, I am lucky."

Zhang Mo sighed.
