The old man raised his eyes and glanced at her, then stood up and went back to the kitchen. After a while, he came out with a bowl of porridge and placed it opposite him. At the same time, he moved the small dish in front of him over, without finishing his words, and continued to eat with his head down.
Feng Jiu was slightly surprised when she saw this. She walked forward and sat down, looking at the bowl of porridge in front of her. It looked like white porridge, but there was a green lotus seed in the middle, and it exuded the fragrance of lotus. "Is it for me?"
The old man didn't respond, and Fengjiu didn't wait for him to answer. She ate two mouthfuls of porridge with a spoon. When she scooped up the green lotus seed, she looked at it and asked, "This lotus seed is not ripe yet? Why does it have such a strong lotus fragrance?"
As she spoke, she took the green lotus seed into her mouth, chewed it, and frowned: "It's really not cooked, and it's very hard to bite open."
She chewed it a few times, but it didn't open. However, the lotus seed smelled really fragrant. So, she smiled and said, "It smells really good. If you can't chew it open, just swallow it! Don't waste it."
Hearing this, the old man looked up and saw her swallowing the lotus seeds directly into her stomach. His eyes moved slightly, and he continued to eat the porridge in front of him without saying a word.
Feng Jiu fished in the porridge and asked, "Why is there only one lotus seed?" Although the lotus seed was hard to chew, there was only one in this bowl of porridge. Isn't it too little? She wanted to eat a few more!
The old man paused while scooping the porridge, and said without raising his head: "One is enough."
As he spoke, he finished his porridge, packed up the things in front of him, turned and went into the kitchen. After a while, he came out and left without saying a word.
Feng Jiu held her chin with one hand and blinked as she watched the old man walk away. She asked softly, "It's only the middle of March. Are there any lotus seeds? However, these lotus seeds smell really good. I wonder what kind they are?"
She took a few more mouthfuls of porridge, and the fragrance of lotus seeds spread on the tip of her tongue, leaving a long aftertaste.
After filling her stomach, she returned to the courtyard to practice. She quickly forgot about the incident of swallowing the green lotus seed that exuded a rich and fragrant aroma, because as time passed, the enrollment day of Nebula Academy was getting closer.
On this day, after she gave some instructions to several ghost cultivators who were practicing in Taohuawu, she also gave some instructions to the old man sweeping the floor. The gist of it was that she was leaving to practice at the Six-Star Academy Xingyun in Qingteng Country and would not be back in the short term, so she asked them to take care of the place and then return to the palace.
After arranging everything, she talked with her family in the main hall for a while, listening to their instructions and requests.
"Xiao Jiu, you're not bringing anyone with you this time? How can you go to the Six-Star Academy alone without anyone? How about transferring Leng Shuang back from the Fengwei Camp and let her go with you!"
"No, no, let her stay in the Fengwei Camp to practice. I will go to the academy alone this time. There will be arrangements when I get there." She smiled and waved her hand, saying, "If there is anything, send me a message."
"Xi Lin wrote to say that he is out with the mercenaries, and he will go directly to Nebula Academy and will not come back. So you have to go alone on this trip?" The old man looked at her worriedly.
Although she is very capable, the people in Nebula Academy are all elite students from various countries, and each of them has amazing talents. Can she make it alone without anyone to take care of her
