Luoluo would never have guessed what the gift Chen Changsheng spoke of was, but this did not affect her mood. Her teacher had said that he would specially give her a gift. This proved that in her teacher's heart, she was more important than Tang Thirty-Six, Xuanyuan Po, and Zhexiu combined. In her teacher's heart, she was definitely not just a student … right?
Thinking of the Heavenly Tome Monoliths in the Garden of Zhou, Chen Changsheng thought of that important matter. He asked Luoluo how her investigation was going. In the past few days, he had asked the priests of the Li Palace to help him investigate, but there was still no news. He could only place his last hope on her.
Luoluo lowered her head, as if she did not want to speak.
Chen Changsheng felt his lips were somewhat dry. With a slightly bitter voice, he said, "There's also no news from the elves?"
Luoluo raised her head and met his anxious gaze. She bit her lip and gathered her courage to say, "The elves that are still on the continent are all scattered across the plains. It's very difficult to confirm, but what is certain is that the girl that teacher spoke of has not left the Garden of Zhou."
Chen Changsheng looked at the fish in the lake in silence for a very long time.
Luoluo was somewhat sad, but her small face squeezed out a smile. "Teacher, don't panic. I'll have someone investigate again."
Chen Changsheng did not hear her words. He looked at the lake and muttered, "At that time, I clearly saw her sit on the Great Peng and fly into the mountains. She was already not far from the Mountainside Whispering Wood, even though she was heavily injured …"
Then, he fell silent.
She had not left the Garden of Zhou.
She could not have left the Garden of Zhou like him.
She should still be in the Garden of Zhou.
Perhaps she was alive, but it was even more likely that she was already dead.
This was the end.
If life was like the first time they met, and she was quietly sleeping on the pile of reeds, how good would that be, because there would always be a time when she would wake up.
Chen Changsheng was very sad. This was the first time he had truly experienced such a feeling. Although he had occasionally thought that the girl might no longer be here, he had experienced it a little. But that was the grass under a rock, not enough to break through the hard ground. Although he had experienced it a little when he walked in front of the Black Dragon in the Tong Palace, it was still a separation, but it was different.
He separated from this world, and the world separated from him.
This was probably the separation.
Then he remembered that he had promised her to do something for her.
"In two days, I will go to the Divine General of the East's estate to break off the engagement."
Luoluo raised her head in surprise. She thought to herself, after her teacher had entered the capital, he had already gone to the Divine General's Estate to cancel the engagement twice, but he had not succeeded. Last time, Xu Shi Ji had already made it clear that if he wanted to cancel the engagement again, he had to do it in front of Xu You Rong … Xu You Rong would be returning to the capital in a few days, so why was her teacher in such a hurry? Why didn't he wait?
"I promised her … to break off the engagement."
Chen Chang Sheng looked at the fish in the lake and said without blinking, "Since I'm sure she's gone, then I have to do it even more, and I have to do it quickly, or else I'm afraid she might think I'm lying to her."
…
…
Luoluo sat in the car and looked at the wall outside the window. Her face was pale.
No one could understand how much courage she needed to tell Chen Chang Sheng that news.
This was because she was very clear that with Chen Chang Sheng's personality, once he knew of this news, then she would have no hope.
As expected, Chen Chang Sheng quickly decided to go to the Dong Yu General's Estate to break off the engagement.
There was no hope for his fiancée.
Furthermore, she was only his student.
Jin Yu Lu, who was outside the carriage, faintly felt something and sighed.
It was this sigh filled with pity that made Luoluo cry.
She put down the curtain and sobbed sadly. She thought to herself, you guys don't understand anything.
People who leave will always be more important in people's hearts.
People who leave forever will never be able to be replaced in people's hearts.
She understood this. When she was five years old, after her grandmother who loved her died in the Red River, she understood this.
She knew that she could never win against the girl she never met, because the girl had already left.
Perhaps, only by leaving could she be remembered.
Luoluo raised her head and wiped off the tears on her face. She lifted up the curtain again and looked at the green tree of the Tradition Academy that was getting further and further away.
She knew that it was time for her to leave.
Master, I have to make you remember me.
She thought stubbornly.
… …
… …
Tang Thirty Six noticed that Chen Chang Sheng's mood was a bit off today and asked, "Are you alright?"
Chen Chang Sheng put the wet clothes in the bucket on the clothesline and said, "I'm fine."
He didn't want his friend to worry about him, and he always felt that the memories in the Garden of Zhou belonged to the two of them, so he changed the topic. "Just now, when Prince Chen Liu wanted to come to the Tradition Academy, why didn't you agree?
Tang Thirty Six raised his brows and said with slight mockery, "Oh, I'm not the Principal of the Tradition Academy, do I have the right to disagree?"
Chen Chang Sheng carried the bucket into the house. As he passed by, he said, "You didn't say, but that face is so ugly it looks like …"
He originally wanted to say that it looked like someone had died, but his words changed.
"… like something big happened."
"My face is so handsome, even if I gave him a bad look, how ugly could it be?"
Tang Thirty Six took the washboard in his other hand and followed. He said, "I don't like this person, it's not like you don't know."
This was something that Chen Chang Sheng had never understood. He asked, "Just why?"
"I feel that this guy is too hypocritical," Tang Thirty Six said.
Chen Chang Sheng said, "If you don't have proof, don't criticize."
Tang Thirty Six sneered, "Don't you feel that whether it's his speech or his actions, he gives off a feeling like a spring breeze?"
Chen Chang Sheng was very confused, thinking, isn't this a compliment?
"He's a man, what reason does he have to make us feel like a spring breeze?" Tang Thirty Six disdainfully made his own conclusion, "He must have a plan, and a big one at that. It's better to stay away from him."
Chen Chang Sheng thought about it and felt that this was reasonable, but from the current situation, the Imperial Family had been separated into various counties. Other than the Orthodoxy and Zhu Luo, they had no other powerful external help. Prince Chen Liu purposely befriending the Tradition Academy was understandable.
As they talked, the two entered the house. After putting down the things, Chen Chang Sheng went to Zhexiu's room. Zhexiu's wounds were gradually improving. Although he still couldn't walk, he could move. A few days ago, they moved him back to the house. Chen Chang Sheng sat by the bed and carefully felt Zhexiu's pulse. Then he took out his needle box and began to treat him. After a long time, he finished today's treatment.
On the side, Tang Thirty Six looked at Zhexiu's still pale face and worriedly asked, "When will he get better?"
Chen Chang Sheng shook his head and said, "That depends on his own life force."
Zhexiu opened his eyes and emotionlessly said, "You don't need to worry about that."
At this moment, Xuanyuan Po came out of the library, carrying a thick stack of challenge letters into the room.
"This is only the first batch. I heard from Priest Lu that there's still a large pile of challenge letters in the Bureau of Ecclesiastic Education. It seems like that head of the Tianhai clan is really angry."
Tang Thirty Six said, "At such an old age, with such a high status, how can he still get angry like a child?"
In the entire capital, only Clear Lake Restaurant could eat the blue lobster of the Great Western Continent. Now that Clear Lake Restaurant was closed for an indefinite period of time, it was naturally very difficult to eat it — anyone would be unhappy when their favorite food was suddenly unavailable. Xuanyuan Po imagined how he would feel if someone didn't allow him to eat the roasted leg of lamb on the other side of the lake. He understood, and even felt some sympathy for that head of the Tianhai clan.
After a moment of silence, Chen Chang Sheng said, "Just for this plate of lobster …"
Given the status of the Tianhai clan in the human world, if that head of the Tianhai clan truly went berserk, the Orthodox Academy really wouldn't be able to withstand him. From today onwards, there would presumably be countless challenge letters drifting over like snowflakes. No matter how good the three youths of the Orthodox Academy were at fighting, even if they still won every match, how could they endure so many matches? Even if they couldn't be beaten to death, they would probably be exhausted to death, and even if they didn't die from exhaustion, they would still be disgusted to death.
As he looked at those challenge letters, he felt somewhat suffocated. Just like he had said yesterday on the great banyan tree, living this kind of life every day truly wasn't the kind of life he wanted.
The truly troublesome thing was that among these challenge letters, there was one that was very heavy. Neither he nor Tang Thirty Six could receive it.
"Bie Tianxin, once the strongest expert of the Li Palace Academy, at the initial level of Star Condensation, but … he wasn't at the initial level of Star Condensation like Zhou Ziheng or Mu Laoban. In the Ivy League gathering and the Grand Examination, he only lost to Guan Bai. There are even many people who suspect that he could have entered the middle level of Star Condensation long ago, but because the technique passed down in his family is too powerful and mysterious, he temporarily stopped here. "
"Technique passed down in his family? He's not a student of the Li Palace Academy? "
"If your family was stronger than the Li Palace Academy and you were in his shoes, what would you choose in the end?"
"Hmm … whose son is he?"
"His father is called Bie Yanghong and his mother is called Wuqiong Bi."
"Hmm … his family truly is very strong."
Chen Changsheng did not sigh at the strangeness of these two names, because even someone as ignorant and inexperienced as he had heard of these two names.
These two names were the same as Zhu Luo and Guan Xingke, signifying the storms of the world.
But this was the first time he learned that these two Storms of the Eight Directions were actually husband and wife, and that they had even given birth to a son.
Chen Changsheng sighed, "Even if I can win, it won't be easy."
If he won against the little one, then perhaps his parents would come knocking on his door.
"Can you not be as narcissistic as me?" Tang Thirty Six asked, "Where did you get the confidence to beat him?"
Chen Changsheng really wanted to say that whether it was in the wilderness outside Xunyang City or recently in front of the Orthodox Academy, he had already defeated several initial level Star Condensation cultivators, but then he remembered that Tang Thirty Six had said that this initial level Star Condensation was no ordinary initial level Star Condensation cultivator.
"Bie Tianxin couldn't defeat Guan Bai back then, but that doesn't mean that his strength is inferior to Guan Bai's. You can view the two of them as equals." Tang Thirty Six looked into his eyes and said, "You've met Guan Bai, so how many chances do you think you have?"
Chen Changsheng recalled that day when he saw that scholar on the street and sensed that sword intent. After a moment of silence, he said, "Not the slightest chance."
Tang Thirty Six replied, "Then it's also impossible for you to defeat Bie Tianxin."
On the bed, Zhexiu once more opened his eyes and said, "I fought with him."
The three looked over and asked in shock, "Who won?"
