Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Master and Apprentice Reunite_1

Fortunately, Wan Ziqiang still had some self-control, aware of where he was. He quickly pulled back his thoughts, coughed lightly to cover his mouth, disguising the turmoil and embarrassment inside, and continued to call the next name, "Che Xiaoyi."

"Here!"

"An Meixue."

When An Meixue was called, there was no response for a long while.

Wan Ziqiang called out twice more but still got no answer. He looked over all the students in the classroom and then asked gently, "Classmates, does anyone know if this An Meixue has come or not?"

At that moment, the girl named Che Xiaoyi raised her hand and replied quietly, "Teacher, An Meixue came earlier, but then, she left."

Wan Ziqiang frowned, "Why did she come and then leave?"

Che Xiaoyi quietly glanced at Shen Tianxing, looking as though she had more to say but hesitated.

Shen Tianxing noticed Wan Ziqiang following Che Xiaoyi’s gaze toward her.

She simply stood up, her pleasant and clear voice ringing out, "Reporting to Teacher Wan, just now a female student in the classroom suddenly started to slap her own face, cursing herself for speaking out of turn and deserving the slap. After hitting herself, she ran out crying. Everyone saw it happen, but I don’t know if she’s the one called An Meixue. Perhaps, Che Xiaoyi knows."

Wan Ziqiang asked Che Xiaoyi again, "Che Xiaoyi, is the student Shen Tianxing is referring to An Meixue?"

Che Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, she is An Meixue."

Having confirmed this, Wan Ziqiang told Che Xiaoyi, "If you see An Meixue, tell her to come to class on time tomorrow and not to fall behind on the syllabus."

Che Xiaoyi replied softly, "Yes, Teacher, I will pass on the message."

Next, it was time to elect class officials.

Wan Ziqiang wanted Shen Tianxing to be the head of Class 1 Grade 1, but Shen Tianxing declined politely, "Sorry! Teacher, I’m not good at socializing and would like more time to study. Please let someone else take on the role of class leader!"

Seeing that Shen Tianxing was not joking, Wan Ziqiang, with no other choice, finally chose Jiang Hua, who also had excellent entrance scores, to be the class leader.

After selecting the class officials and course representatives, they distributed new books, and at 10 o’clock the freshman assembly began.

In the afternoon, Teacher Wan let the students have free time to familiarize themselves with the school campus, and if they had any problems, they could go find him.

Shen Tianxing turned down the invitations from Wu Haishan and Jiang Hua and went straight back to her place.

To facilitate her schooling and cultivation, Shen Wenru specifically bought a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment in Jinxiu Garden near Suzhou’s First High School for Shen Tianxing to live in.

Since Shen Tianxing naturally loved peace and quiet, she wouldn’t refuse her parents’ kind gesture.

Back in her Jinxiu Garden residence, Shen Tianxing lay comfortably on the couch and turned on the television.

After watching TV for a while, Shen Tianxing found it boring and thought it would be better to practice in the Lifespace.

She promptly stood up, drew the curtains, and flickered into the Lifespace.

No sooner had Shen Tianxing entered the space than she felt something was amiss.

Someone had come in!

As she sensed the familiar pulling and throbbing within her Divine Soul, Shen Tianxing’s eyes immediately reddened. Her figure flashed, and in an instant, she teleported inside the Zizhu Building.

Following the guidance of her Divine Soul, Shen Tianxing teleported into the room where her master used to live.

When she saw a figure lying on the purple bamboo bed, her emotions surged, and she almost threw herself onto him.

However, Shen Tianxing soon felt something was off.

The man lying on his side, back facing her, sported a modern buzz cut and wore modern silk pajamas. His body carried her master’s aura, but he was not the stunning figure she remembered.

Could it be... like her, the master had also been reborn?

The thought alone made Shen Tianxing’s heart tremble.

The master was such a mighty Fairy King, how could he also transmigrate and be reborn in the Mortal World?

Did something happen in the Fairy Realm after she left?

Could it be that the master descended to the mortal realm for her sake?

But with Master’s cultivation, why would he transmigrate and be reborn?

It makes no sense at all!

Shen Tianxing, with her head full of confusion, walked quietly to the bedside, and gently bent down to look at the man’s face.

This face, it was the master’s face!

However, it was a face still tinged with a hint of youthful tenderness, almost like a teenage version of the master.

Shen Tianxing felt a burst of joy in her heart.

She couldn’t help but reach out her hand and gently stroked his long brows, his long eyelashes, his tall nose bridge, and his... somewhat pale lips.

Shen Tianxing’s gaze fixed on his pale lips, and her heart sank again.

Why were the master’s lips so pale as if he had contracted a severe illness, devoid of any color?

Shen Tianxing immediately grabbed the master’s wrist to take his pulse.

The master’s body in this life was born with severed meridians!!!

That explained it.

No wonder the master’s body was so weak.

Suddenly, Shen Tianxing felt a surge of heartache.

Her Master, who had once been such a powerful Fairy King, could command anything in the Fairy Realm.

But now, he had fallen to such a pitiful state, born with severed meridians, it’s often said that one wouldn’t live past eighteen and couldn’t cultivate. Could the master accept this cruel reality?

As Shen Tianxing was feeling sorrow for the master, she suddenly felt him move.

Under her hopeful gaze, Dugu Zixi slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Shen Tianxing standing before him, and after calmly observing the unfamiliar surroundings, he smiled slightly at her, "Little Fairy, have you come to take me away?"

His smile, although very attractive, stunningly so.

But to Shen Tianxing, it seemed to convey a sense of resignation and release.

Shen Tianxing instantly felt an unbearable heartache.

What kinds of tribulations had the master endured to seek such release?

Dugu Zixi saw Shen Tianxing suddenly bursting into tears, blinked in confusion, and asked gently with a smile, "Why are you crying? Is it out of sympathy for me?"

Shen Tianxing nodded vigorously, her hand covering her mouth, not daring to cry out loud.

Dugu Zixi, however, said with a faint smile, "You don’t need to cry for me. Everyone has their day eventually, I’m just leaving a bit earlier, aren’t I?"

Suddenly, Shen Tianxing opened her arms and hugged him, "No, Master, you won’t leave, your disciple can cure your illness, do you hear me? Your disciple can cure your illness!"

"Disciple? Master?"

Dugu Zixi was somewhat puzzled by Shen Tianxing’s words.

He lightly inhaled the faint fragrance emanating from Shen Tianxing, feeling his cheeks flush with warmth.

In his memory, he felt he had never been so close to a girl before.
