Demon's Self-cultivation

Doing his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, Xiao Xiaomo's eyes were a little red and covered with a layer of water mist.Finally managed his expression, he looked shocked and bewildered, and quickly raised his head.

"Your relative?" Xu Zhengjie also frowned in surprise.

"Well, the kind of relatives who are far away." Mandel's tone was flat, and he was not at all excited to recognize his relatives. "It is said that I have been looking for it for a long time, and I only recently got the news."

"...Is it credible?" Xu Zhengjie's eyes were cold and full of suspicion, "Is it really your relative, not an impostor?"

"I don't know if it's believable or not." Mandel shrugged his shoulders, "But I did see them when I was young, and I remember what they looked like."

Only then did Xu Zhengjie soften his expression slightly: "If you need help, just say so."

"No, thank you." Mandel shook his head, "I'm just going back with them to have a look, and I will definitely be back before school starts." As he spoke, he raised his slender and strong palm and held it firmly, "Even if they don't With good intentions, I can protect myself too."

Reminiscent of Mandel 2S's physical fitness, and his skill that was not inferior to his own, Xu Zhengjie silently put his worries back - if someone wanted to misbehave Mandel, he would probably have to worry about the other party's life safety.

What's more, Mandel has reached the age of 18 and has full rights to follow his own will, and no longer needs the protection and guidance of a guardian.Xu Zhengjie couldn't comment on his choice.

Of course, even if he believed in Mandel's ability, Xu Zhengjie still seriously warned: "It's always right to be cautious when you go out. Although you are strong, you must also guard against the secret methods of Xiao Xiao."

"Okay, I remember." Mandel replied seriously.

Seeing that his host had finished chatting with Xu Zhengjie, the little devil couldn't wait to throw away the wrinkled travel brochure, and rushed towards Mandel: "I want to go too!"

"no!"

"no!"

——Two shouts, one from Xu Zhengjie and one from Mandel.

Xu Zhengjie believes that Mandel has the ability to solve troubles, but he must not allow Jojo to take risks.He stretched out his hand and tugged at the little devil who was hugging Mandel tightly; "Jojo, be obedient."

"I'm disobedient!" Little Mo's eyes welled up.

Mandel rubbed Qiaoqiao's head helplessly: "I don't know what will happen when I go back this time, it may be dangerous. Qiaoqiao, be good, if everything goes well, I will take you with me next time. "

"No!" Little Demon was still stubborn, "It's because of the danger that I want to be with Brother Mandel!"

"With your small body, it won't be of much help if you go along. Mandel needs to protect you at critical moments!" Xu Zhengjie felt very headache.

Conscious of being personally attacked, Xiaomo was shocked, turned his head and looked at Xu Zhengjie dissatisfied: "But I'm smart! I know a lot of things!"

"Yes, yes, you are smart and know a lot." Xu Zhengjie tore Qiao Qiao off Mandel with his hands, and hugged him into his arms. "But Mandel is smarter than you, knows more, and is more experienced in handling things."

Immediately, there was a little little devil who was speechless: "…………………… QAQ"

"So, be good and don't make trouble." Xu Zhengjie wrapped his arms around Jojo's waist with one hand, and pinched the back of his neck with the other hand to comfort him.

Being imprisoned by Xu Zhengjie, the weak little little demon struggled for a long time, but found that the other's arm, as hard and powerful as steel, was motionless, and finally had to give up.He looked at Mandel accusingly, and blinked his long eyelashes with teardrops on them: "Brother Mandel, we have agreed before! How can you break your promise and get fat!"

Mandel felt extremely guilty when he saw Jojo's deceived eyes as if his heart was about to break, and he couldn't help but look away, avoiding the little guy's blame: "...Sorry."

——Although there has been no real response to Jojo's words of wanting to help him, Mandel actually did not explicitly refuse, but more like a tacit consent.Now being accused by Qiao Qiao like this, he really can't explain the prevarication.

——After all, he did live up to Jojo's "true feelings".

Hearing Mandel's apology, Little Devil showed an increasingly unbelievable expression on his face.He was stunned and quiet for a moment, and then suddenly pushed Xu Zhengjie's arm away when he relaxed a little.

Turning around, the Little Beast ran upstairs, leaving only one sentence, "I hate Brother Mandel!"

Mandel subconsciously took a step forward, then stopped with a wry smile, and looked at Xu Zhengjie somewhat at a loss.

Xu Zhengjie had never seen such an expression on Mandel's usually calm and calm face, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Qiao Qiao is just a child with a temper. He always likes to pester you, and now he just can't accept separation for a while." That's all. It will be fine after a while."

"...I hope so." Mandel nodded lightly, but for some reason he still felt uneasy, "I... I'd better go up and have a look."

Mandel was very worried about how to calm the angry little thing. On the other side, the little devil ran back to his bedroom crying, and then threw "Leave me alone" to QWSD-37910 who was also very worried, and then He slammed the door shut.

After receiving the little master's order, QWSD-37910 had to give up the idea of ​​secretly observing, obediently guarded the door, and shook his head helplessly towards Mandel who was walking quickly.

Mandel pursed his lips, and knocked on the door for a long time but failed to get permission to enter the room, so he could only stand outside the door and apologize softly.It's a pity that the caring and sensible little guy was really furious this time, except for sobbing from time to time, he didn't give him any response.

Mandel was in a state of desperation, wishing to break in directly, but worried that this would make Jojo even more angry.In the end, he had no choice but to leave without coaxing Jojo. After all, Mandel still had a lot of things to deal with, and this return to his hometown was uncertain, and he also needed to do it well. Complete preparation.

Poor Mandel was worried about Jojo and blamed himself, but he didn't know that the little guy he imagined was crying under the quilt was crying and excitedly turning on the old-fashioned computer he had assembled. , invaded his optical brain.

Mandel never defended against Jojo at all, because Jojo was under 16 years old and did not get his own optical brain, so he often lent his own optical brain to Jojo, letting him play with the optical brain Almost.

The optical brain's protection ability is very strong, and few people have the ability to invade other people's optical brain from the outside.But Qiao Qiao used the highest authority of the owner, Mandel, and installing some small things into the optical brain through the highest authority would not touch the powerful protective net of the optical brain at all.

Using his own computer to connect to the hidden monitoring program in the background of Mandel's optical brain, Qiaoqiao quickly found the time and time of the interstellar express train that Mandel bought, and then used his student ID to buy the same ticket.

——Although he is not yet an adult, after entering Chen Chuan's laboratory, Qiao Qiao can be regarded as having a small amount of savings.Every time the laboratory produced results, Chen Chuan would award bonuses to all researchers, and naturally he would not treat Qiao Qiao badly.Even though the money I get each time is very small, the accumulation of money over the past three years is still more than enough to buy a ticket.

Relying on his own understanding of Mandel and Xu Zhengjie, Xiao Xiaomo knew that he would not be able to get them to nod and agree to go with him.He made a fuss like this, firstly because it was unreasonable based on how much he was attached to Mandel in the past, and secondly because he could secretly "run away from home" by taking advantage of the opportunity of losing his temper and ignoring others.

Mandel's flight terminal is a remote planet belonging to the China Alliance, and its status is not much different from C13 star.Of course, this small planet is definitely not the final destination of Mandel's journey, and the next journey will probably use an unofficial route.

——As long as he successfully reaches that small planet, then Jojo is [-]% sure to continue walking with Mandel.

The small calculations in his heart were crackling, and the smug little devil lost his temper until the day Mandel was about to leave, and he was not coaxed at all.

Crying and refusing to go to the station to see Mandel off, the little devil happily sat on the bed shaking his white and tender legs, listening to his host's sincere apology repeatedly, and finally had to be urged by Xu Zhengjie "If you don't start, you will not be able to catch up" Sorry to leave.

Tell QWSD-37910 to take good care of Qiao Qiao, Xu Zhengjie sent Mandel to the station, and also met the so-called "distant relative" by the way.

Qiao Qiao stood by the window, watched Xu Zhengjie's hover car drive out of the garage, then quickly turned around and opened the door.

"Little master, come out..." QWSD-37910, who was guarding the door, just wanted to say "That's great", but he never thought that his little master ran downstairs without even looking at him , quickly raised his voice and called out, "Little master, where are you going?!"

"I'm going to the station!" Throwing down the truth, Qiao Qiao bent down and got into the taxi that had been hailed earlier, leaving only QWSD-37910 stunned for a moment, shaking his head speechlessly.

Watching Qiao Qiao's taxi go away, QWSD-37910 sent a communication request to Xu Zhengjie's optical brain.

On the other side, Xu Zhengjie who answered the phone in seconds was very puzzled: "QWSD-37910, what happened?"

"It's the little master." QWSD-37910 gave a serious look, "Shortly after you and Mr. Mandel left, the little master called a taxi and said he was going to the station."

Xu Zhengjie was stunned for a moment, rather dumbfounded: "Okay, I understand, I will bring him back."

After all, he turned off the communication and looked at Mandel, who was still preoccupied: "Look, I said that the little guy Jojo won't be angry for long. I was so angry that I didn't want to see you off, but as soon as we went out, he I couldn't help but ran to the station - he likes you so much, how could he be willing to take it seriously and not go see you off?"

At this time, Xu Zhengjie still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and just regarded Qiao Qiao's actions as coming to see Mandel off.After all, in his eyes, Jojo knew nothing about Mandel's destination and train number, and it was impossible for him to follow Mandel secretly.

When Mandel heard Xu Zhengjie's words, he couldn't help stretching his brows for a moment, revealing a slight smile—to be honest, he was really regretful and reluctant to see Qiao Qiao before he left.Probably... Jojo feels the same way, right?

Thinking of this, Mandel felt a little sweetness in his heart, but for some reason, he was still a little inexplicably flustered.His keen sixth sense has been reminding him that "things are not that simple", but Mandel can't think of any mistakes after thinking about it, so he can only put it aside for the time being, comforting himself that he probably thinks too much.

In short, Mandel and Xu Zhengjie came to the station with anxiety and expectation.After meeting up with their companions, they waited at the ticket gate for a long time, but they never saw Qiao Qiao's shadow. Gradually, the faces of both of them became a little unsightly.

The companions looked anxious and kept urging Mandel to get in the car quickly.Xu Zhengjie also turned his head to look at Mandel, and persuaded in a low voice: "You go to the car first, I'll look for Qiaoqiao. He is probably still angry, and he doesn't want to show up even if he sneaks in. He is probably hiding somewhere now. Just look at us."

"...Let me go and look for it together." Mandel said in a low voice, frowning with growing ominous premonition.

"No, if you can't find it, I can ask the station staff to help you find it, not least of you." Xu Zhengjie shook his head and refused, "And the train is about to leave now, if you don't get on the train, you will be late."

Mandel knew that Xu Zhengjie's words were correct, and this time he did have important matters that could not be delayed.

Gritting his teeth and suppressing the worries in his heart, Mandel finally nodded: "...Okay, then I'll go first, Jojo... I'll leave it to you."

"Please don't ask me, he's my son!" Xu Zhengjie patted Mandel on the shoulder angrily, drove him into the ticket gate, waved his hand, and left quickly.

Watching Xu Zhengjie's figure disappear into the crowd, Mandel let out a long breath, finally turned around, and boarded the train with heavy steps.

——But they didn't know that Qiao Qiao, who was worried and missed by them, was already sitting safely on the train seat with a happy and breezy smile, holding a cup of milk tea.
