The journey from Bailu Academy to the Confucian Academy took Xiao Mo and his companions about a month.
This wasn't because the journey itself took a month.
Rather, over the course of that month, Xiao Mo and his companions traveled in fits and starts, encountering quite a few incidents along the way.
Minor incidents included helping a little girl who was lost in town find her mother, while more significant ones involved performing exorcisms for some families.
While exorcisms were typically the work of Daoists and Monks, it wasn't something Confucian scholars were incapable of doing.
When they happened upon such things, they would simply lend a hand.
The three of them neither knew nor cared if this was all part of an examination by the Confucian Academy.
Additionally, the trio went into the mountains to eliminate bandits and vanquish members of the Demon Race who preyed on humans.
The three of them had the air of scholars who had descended from the mountains to roam the world.
