"She also taught me Japanese."
Jiang Shaoxu's eyes twitched slightly.
No wonder Lü Cheng speaks with such a strong Osaka accent; it turns out the source was wrong.
After all, who would learn a foreign language by specifically learning its dialect?
“I only taught you for a month,” Mochizuki Chika corrected.
“You are my mentor,” Lü Cheng said.
"My...mentor?" Jiang Shaoxu looked puzzled.
Mochizuki Chika's ears turned red. "She's my Japanese language teacher!"
"Oh~" Jiang Shaoxu looked doubtful.
If you hadn't emphasized it like that, I really wouldn't have thought much of it.
“He was only four years old at the time, and…” Mochizuki Chika took out a photo.
Jiang Shaoxu looked closely and saw a little girl who looked six or seven parts like Wang Yueqianxun, holding a cute little girl in her arms.
"Your sister?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, puzzled.
Mochizuki Chika couldn't help but laugh, "This is him, him when he was four years old."
"..."
"what?!"
Jiang Shaoxu looked completely bewildered.
Is that little girl with the high ponytail, Lü Cheng?!
“I didn’t recognize him as a boy at the time.” Mochizuki Chika handed the photo to Jiang Shaoxu.
“This…” Jiang Shaoxu placed the photo next to Lü Cheng’s for comparison.
"Is it so magical?"
Her eyebrows and eyes are indeed very similar, but she has a bit of baby fat, plus that high ponytail, she looks just like a little girl!
"You weren't raised as a girl when you were little, were you?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a strange expression.
Many good-looking little boys are raised as girls by their families when they are young. After all, it would be a shame not to dress them up if they are so good-looking!
But boys only have so many things to wear, unlike girls who have so many fancy tricks up their sleeves.
"Uh..." Lu Cheng felt a bit of a headache.
"almost."
Back then, Ye Chang spent most of her time with him in Parthenon, saying that it would be more convenient for him to be a girl, so she dressed him up as a girl.
He was only three or four years old at the time, and he was good-looking, so with his long hair and a little dressing up, as long as his pants weren't taken off, no one would recognize him as a boy.
When he returned to the Holy City, although he had changed back into men's clothing, his disheveled hair made him look uncomfortable. His long hair was casually tied up in a simple high ponytail, making him look like a little girl dressed as a boy.
He had long hair all the way to Bocheng. After his parents disappeared, he lived alone and no one helped him take care of it. He found it troublesome and then cut it off.
"Then how did you recognize that he was a boy?" Jiang Shaoxu asked curiously.
Mochizuki Chika recalled, "We were running around outside when he fell. I wanted to take him to take a bath, but he absolutely refused to let me take his clothes off."
"Then, when he wasn't looking, I pulled down his pants."
"Pfft!" Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but chuckle.
She could already imagine what the scene would have been like.
"..."
Looking at the cheerful laughter on the other side, Mo Fan and his group became even more bewildered.
Wait, what the hell is going on?
These people were speaking Japanese, specifically Osaka dialect. The few people in the group who could barely understand a few words of Japanese couldn't understand the dialect either.
But why didn't Jiang Shaoxu and that Japanese woman fight?
No, go ahead and hit me!
We've been waiting for this for ages!
Similarly, seeing how good the atmosphere was between their teacher and the visitors, the members of the Japanese National Pavilion team couldn't bring themselves to routinely mock and provoke them.
"No, could he have been to Japan before?" Zhao Manyan asked doubtfully.
This is not the kind of atmosphere you should have with people you've just met!
Absolutely impossible!
Nan Jue and the others also turned their gazes to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
Aren't you childhood friends?
"I don't know, we were both over six years old when we met." Mo Fan shrugged.
Lu Cheng's family went to Bocheng temporarily and were not locals. However, after only a few months, Lu Cheng's parents disappeared, and he didn't know what had happened.
Of course, he never asked about these things.
“He must have met her before he went to Bocheng,” Mu Ningxue said.
Asha'ruya, that Greek woman, was someone Lü Cheng had known since childhood.
It seems this Japanese woman is the same, but judging from the atmosphere, she's not as familiar as Asha.
……
into the night.
Because of the relationship between Lü Cheng and Wangyue Qianxun, the challenger team and the defending team did not have the irreconcilable conflict that occurred in the original work. Therefore, there was no rush to have a match. Instead, following Wangyue Mingjian's suggestion, they took a break and played for a couple of days before discussing the sparring.
Lu Cheng was just on vacation, so he let Ai Jiangtu and the others decide the match time themselves, since he was not going to make a move.
Most high-level mages were no different from children in front of him, let alone a group of mid-level mages.
Moreover, his cheating skills mean he has no competitive advantage over ordinary players.
His fighting with these people was no different from a burly man running into a kindergarten and bullying a little kid who could barely walk and was prone to tripping.
Winning or losing is shameful.
How have you been these past few years?
After the banquet, Mochizuki Chika took Lü Cheng out for a walk to relax.
Since they were childhood friends, Jiang Shaoxu's initial anger subsided. Furthermore, she wasn't the type to be jealous, so she had no reason to continue showing hostility towards Wangyue Qianxun.
On the contrary, with Lu Cheng's childhood experiences as a starting point, Jiang Shaoxu and Wangyue Qianxun had a pretty good chat.
Right now, Jiang Shaoxu is most likely showing Mu Ningxue and the others that the little girl photo of Lü Cheng was when he was a child.
"It's alright," Lu Cheng said.
Although his life in Bo City was almost like being exiled compared to before he was five years old, fortunately Ye Chang erased that memory of his, so he didn't feel any sense of loss. After all, he was worse off in his previous life than in Bo City, but at least he had some money in this life.
"When did you return to China?" Mochizuki Chika asked.
She later asked someone in her family who worked in the Holy City to inquire, but there was no news of Lü Cheng.
Generally speaking, those who have obtained residency rights in the holy city are unlikely to leave unless there is a major change in circumstances.
As the holy land of magicians worldwide, and the highest hall of human mages, it is a place that countless people cannot reach even in their entire lives.
"Not long after you left, was it?" Lü Cheng said.
Not long after Mochizuki Chika left with Mochizuki Meiken, Wentai's affair began to escalate. His mother was worried about something going wrong, so she sent him away from the Holy City ahead of time and placed him in a small city at the foot of the Alps.
As a result, not long after, his mother found him with his father, who was barely alive. Then, they wandered all the way and finally returned to China.
Because his biological father trespassed into the Dark Judgment and was deemed a traitor by the Judgment Council, they did not take the initiative to contact anyone after returning to their country. After all, no country or organization in this world dares to be an enemy of the Holy City.
A high-ranking mage who would be treated as an honored guest in any country is nothing more than a lowly soldier in the Holy City!
The archangels who guard the holy city year after year have never said that they will not leave the holy city!
Each archangel possesses the power to crush forbidden spells, not to mention that three of the seven archangels have yet to reveal themselves. Remiel has just sentenced Ventay, using him as a stepping stone to ascend to the Holy City. As for the other archangels hiding in the shadows, who knows if they have any intention of revealing their identities?
Therefore, if their information leaks out, they'll probably be asked to come this way by the next day.

……
"Then why did you suddenly remember me after all these years?" Mochizuki Chika asked.
If Lü Cheng hadn't suddenly contacted the Wangyue Clan a while ago, she would have almost forgotten about this lovely little girl; after all, it's been almost twenty years.
Over the course of twenty years, she had visited the Holy City, but had never heard of Lü Cheng.
