Hearing the voice behind him, An Yi turned around in disbelief.
“Boss!”
He was speaking the Great Xia language of Blue Star!
The instant A-Qian saw An Yi, he became so excited he nearly cried.
Half a year. He had been in this world for half a year!
Did anyone know what he had been through during those six months?
“Are you from the Asura Sect?”
An Yi couldn’t help asking in the Great Xia language, his eyes filled with delight.
Although he didn’t know who this guy was, meeting someone from his homeland in a foreign land…
The feeling was indescribably comforting.
A-Qian took a deep breath, tore off his tattered cloak, and revealed the black uniform of the Asura Sect underneath.
On its back, the imposing characters “Asura” were written in bold, sweeping strokes!
“Wang Qian, captain of the Thirteenth Team of the Asura Sect’s Battle Hall, reporting to the Sect Master!”
A-Qian saluted and spoke loudly.
In an instant, everyone on the street turned to look.
An Yi took a deep breath, suppressing his surging emotions before smiling lightly. “Get up. Our Asura Sect doesn’t have a habit of saluting.”
Wang Qian rose and looked at An Yi excitedly. “Boss, I’ve finally found you. I’ve been searching everywhere for you.”
“I’ve been looking for you all too,” An Yi said slowly.
See? Making a name for yourself really was useful!
When you blossomed, the breeze would come.
“By the way, Hall Master Gu and Hall Master Ning have also arrived in Qi City!”
Wang Qian hurriedly added.
An Yi raised his brows slightly. “They’re here too?”
Wang Qian scratched his head, looking embarrassed. “But… I lost track of them. I didn’t keep up. It’s really embarrassing.”
“It’s fine. Qi City is my territory. Finding them will be easy.”
An Yi was confident and composed as he looked toward Old Tao.
After all, my uncle is the dean!
Old Tao stared blankly at the two of them. He couldn’t understand a word of their muttering, so he could only follow along with an awkward smile.
Wang Qian said gravely, “I remember Hall Master Gu was traveling with a young girl.”
“What did she look like?” An Yi asked thoughtfully.
“She was quite pretty, around fifteen or sixteen years old, with twin ponytails. I think her surname was Xu. Her name was… What was it again? Xu something…”
Wang Qian furrowed his brows tightly.
An Yi raised his eyebrows. “Xu Qianqian?”
“Yes, that’s it! Boss, do you know her?” Wang Qian asked hurriedly.
Back then, when Hall Master Gu had said that Xu Qianqian was connected to their Boss, he had scoffed at him, thinking Hall Master Gu was nothing more than a perverted lecher who had a thing for little girls.
Now it seemed he had wronged Hall Master Gu.
As expected of a Hall Master—his powers of observation were truly impressive!
An Yi said slowly, “What a coincidence. I’m looking for them too.”
He had no idea where the students from the special admissions class had run off to. He hadn’t seen a single one of them.
Just then, a tremendous boom echoed from far away.
The pedestrians on the street all looked up curiously to see what had happened.
An Yi exchanged a glance with Old Tao.
That spiritual energy impact… Late-stage Heavenly Dipper?
“Hurry. Let’s go take a look!” Old Tao said gravely.
Please, don’t let it be one of the students from Dongxuan Academy.
Otherwise, even he wouldn’t be able to protect them from the Divine Spirit Cult.
…
Half an hour earlier.
“Where’s that Perverted Instructor? I’m going to beat him up!”
Hall Master Gu spoke righteously.
This was a fifteen-year-old girl! How could anyone bring themselves to do such a thing to her? It was truly enviable…
No, disgusting!
“It’s fine. I’m not pregnant. I was only deceiving them,” Xu Qianqian said helplessly.
What was wrong with these two?
“It’s good that you’re all right. Otherwise, my heart would ache for you!”
Hall Master Gu gazed at her tenderly.
Ning Er, standing beside him, was covered in goosebumps.
“Damn it! This pretty boy wants what he has and what he sees, too.”
A few days ago, when they had first met, he had kept going on about how he wanted to find Tu Yiyi and that he couldn’t go on living if he couldn’t see her.
And now, after only a few days, he had already fallen for someone else.
“What’s more, one thing is true: Instructor An Yi and I are lovers.”
Xu Qianqian spoke shyly, her beautiful eyes filled with longing.
The man in front of her was fairly handsome, but compared to Instructor An Yi, he fell far short.
Besides, he wasn’t as strong as Instructor An Yi!
Hall Master Gu’s face turned pale. He reached out with a trembling hand and touched his heart, as though it had shattered.
So this was how it ended after he had given his heart.
“Then I wish you happiness,” Hall Master Gu sighed. “Ning Er, let’s go.”
“Didn’t you say she was connected to An Yi?”
“That doesn’t count. I only guessed it based on intuition!”
“Damn!”
The two men had been speaking in the language of the Ancient Continent, leaving Xu Qianqian utterly confused.
“An Yi?” Xu Qianqian asked, puzzled.
That was the only word she had understood.
Hall Master Gu and Ning Er froze.
“Do you know him?” Ning Er asked seriously.
Xu Qianqian hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t know him. I really don’t.”
An Yi’s head was worth one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in the Dongling Empire. Calling him a walking treasure vault wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Countless people had poured into Qi City, coveting An Yi’s head and dreaming of getting rich overnight.
Xu Qianqian knew that Instructor An Yi was actually An Yi, so of course she couldn’t give him away.
“All right.”
Disappointment appeared in Hall Master Gu’s eyes.
“Don’t look so dejected. Here, take these. Thank you for helping me.”
With some reluctance, Xu Qianqian handed a lollipop to each of them. “These were given to me by Instructor An Yi. Try them—they’re really sweet!”
This was no ordinary gift.
To her, these lollipops were her most precious and expensive possessions. She only had a few of them left.
Hall Master Gu and Ning Er stared blankly at the lollipops in their plastic wrappers.
“Albis lollipops!”
Ning Er looked at the words on the wrapper, then turned toward Hall Master Gu.
“That’s right!”
Hall Master Gu stared at Xu Qianqian and took a deep breath, his face flushing red.
He admitted that he had been taking a gamble—but he had bet correctly.
That damn Perverted Instructor An Yi!
He was definitely An Yi!
Xu Qianqian looked utterly confused, not understanding why he was so excited.
Ning Er was just as baffled. “What’s gotten into you?”
“You idiot!”
Hall Master Gu couldn’t help rolling his eyes at him. He couldn’t be bothered to explain.
Clop. Clop.
Just then, a guard clad in golden armor slowly approached. Judging by his attire, he was clearly a member of the Divine Spirit Cult.
A girl who had been bound and knocked unconscious was draped across the back of his mount.
“Second Miss Xu, Xu Qianqian!”
The golden-armored guard held a list in his hand. Through the slit of his helmet, his cold eyes fixed on Xu Qianqian.
Suddenly, Xu Qianqian felt as though she were being watched by a beast.
What an utterly terrifying gaze.
As she looked at the pretty girl lying across the back of the demonic Blazing Horse, Xu Qianqian’s expression stiffened. “Qiansui… What did you do to her?!”
What in the world was going on?
“Hey! What do you think you’re doing?”
Ning Er hefted his greatsword and glared at the golden-armored soldier.
For once, even his normally vacant eyes held a trace of seriousness.
This guy was strong!
Hall Master Gu gripped his longsword and stepped forward beside Ning Er. In a low voice, he said, “Protect Miss Qianqian. She’s connected to the Boss!”
The golden-armored soldier acted as though Hall Master Gu and Ning Er did not exist. He spoke leisurely.
“You are on the list of candidates for the Divine Son’s consort selection, Xu Qianqian. Will you come with me willingly, or shall I take you by force?”
“What happened to Qiansui? Put her down!”
Xu Qianqian gritted her teeth and spoke furiously.
The Golden Armored Soldier said slowly, “It is your honor to be included among the candidates for the Divine Son’s selection of consorts.”
As he spoke, the Golden Armored Soldier reached out toward Xu Qianqian with his massive hand. The ground shattered beneath him.
Clang!
Sword qi struck the Golden Armored Soldier, ringing out sharply.
“Come at me if you’ve got the nerve!”
Gu Changfeng gripped his sword and spoke in a deep voice.
Suddenly, it was as if a gust of wind had swept past.
Gu Changfeng’s eyes widened. Blood erupted from his body, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to stop himself.
The longsword in his hand slipped slowly to the ground as well.
“Overestimating yourself!”
The Golden Armored Soldier had appeared behind Gu Changfeng at some point, slowly sheathing his sword.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
