Chapter 1857 Zheng Yang Visits His Girlfriend (Part 1)

An eighth-grade pill could only be refined by an eighth-grade alchemist, each one worth a fortune. Not to mention anything else, with such a pill, if given to the king of Tianxuan Kingdom, he would not even want to keep his throne and would directly give it away.

So precious... and he just gave it away for someone to consume...

Feeling the surging energy in his body and his completely healed right leg, Mo Xiao felt as if in a dream, unable to believe it: "Yangzi, this is too precious, I can't accept it..."

He had thought it was just a healing pill; he never dreamed it would be an eighth-grade medicine!

If he had known it was so precious, he would never have eaten it even if beaten to death!

"Don't be polite, it's just a pill. Our friendship means more than this!"

With a light smile, Zheng Yang patted his friend on the shoulder.

Although their worldviews differed and they couldn't communicate well, the bond remained, and they were still best friends, the childhood friends who once practiced the spear together.

"Mo Xiao, this friend of yours is..."

Realizing how formidable Zheng Yang was, Lu Xun quickly came over, awe in his eyes.

Someone who could casually take out an eighth-grade pill and give it away... his identity and background were not something a newly promoted two-star master teacher like himself could compare to.

"Teacher, he is..."

Seeing that his teacher did not recognize his good friend, Mo Xiao was puzzled. Just as he was about to introduce him, he heard a voice transmission in his ear: "Better not reveal my identity. I didn't part on good terms with Teacher Lu back then..."

Mo Xiao stopped.

His good brother, because of Teacher Lu Xun's insult to Zhang Shi, had once joined Zhao Ya and others to beat up Teacher Lu in public, straining their relationship.

"He's a friend I met by chance. I never thought... he would have such a precious pill!"

Understanding, Mo Xiao quickly said.

"Hmm."

Sensing his student's insincerity, Lu Xun ultimately did not press further. He glanced at Zhang Xuan and the others and nodded thoughtfully.

"The pill can enhance your cultivation, but you still need to consolidate it carefully to use it freely. I won't disturb you any longer. Until we meet again!"

Seeing his friend and Teacher Lu, Zheng Yang knew staying any longer was pointless. After saying his piece, he turned and left with Zhang Xuan and the others.

By now, everyone realized these people were not ordinary, especially the girl. She hurriedly chased after them, hoping to seize the missed opportunity again, but after a few steps, her vision blurred, and the figures disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

Everything before seemed like a dream. When she tried to recall, she couldn't remember their faces at all, let alone their physical features.

"Waa!" She burst into tears.

Such an opportunity had been completely missed by her. She wished she could gouge out her own eyes.

"It should be... Zhang Shi and Zheng Yang, right?"

Unlike the girl and others, Lu Xun transmitted his voice to his student beside him.

"Teacher..."

Mo Xiao's face reddened.

It was clear that his good brother didn't want to reveal his identity, but he himself was unwilling to hide it from his teacher.

"I won't make things difficult for you... The reason I could tell is that, aside from him, I can't think of anyone else who would come here and casually give you an eighth-grade pill!"

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Treasure this friend well. Knowing someone like him is the greatest fortune of your life!"

After being assessed as a two-star master teacher, he had come into contact with some secrets and finally understood what kind of brilliant life this Teacher Zhang, who had once competed with him, had experienced after leaving Tianxuan Kingdom, and what earth-shattering deeds he had accomplished.

He, the so-called genius, compared to the other... better not compare. The more he compared, the more he felt like an earthworm in a mud pit, while the other was a divine dragon soaring in the nine heavens...

"Since Teacher knows... then you should know that Yangzi is probably not a Sovereign but... at a higher realm, right?"

Seeing that his teacher knew, Mo Xiao realized concealment was useless and could no longer suppress his curiosity.

Earlier, he thought his good friend had broken through to Grandmaster. Later, when he stabbed the opponent's eye with his spear and didn't even scratch him, but instead suffered severe injuries himself, he wondered if he might have broken through to Sovereign.

Then, after taking the pill, his cultivation reached the Mortal Deformation Second Layer Yuan Qi Realm, yet he still couldn't discern the other's true strength. Only then did he understand... this childhood friend had reached a level that even his teacher had to look up to.

"His realm... is not for us to know. You only need to understand that if your brother had really fought back just now, the entire Tianxuan Kingdom would have disappeared..."

Lu Xun said helplessly.

"The Tianxuan Kingdom disappear?"

Mo Xiao's mouth fell open, and he could no longer speak.

...

Leaving the place where Lu Xun taught, everyone returned to the classroom where they had studied years ago.

It was unchanged, still seeming somewhat cramped.

"All of you, go see your families!"

Entering the room, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Hmm."

Everyone nodded, and Wang Ying, Zhao Ya, and the others flew out.

Wang Ying's family was one of the four great clans of Tianxuan Royal City; her brother and father were all there. Zhao Ya's father was the city lord of White Jade City, a local magnate. Since they were back, they naturally had to visit.

As for Wei Ruyan and Lu Chong, they had long lost their families and had no attachments.

"Junior Sister Ruyan, could you... accompany me out for a while?"

Seeing Zhao Ya and the others leave, Zheng Yang hesitated for a moment and said.

"What for?" Wei Ruyan frowned.

Although she did not cultivate an ice-cold technique, she was always cold and rarely paid attention even to fellow disciples.

Though she was familiar with Zheng Yang, they had actually spoken very little.

"I want... to ask you for a favor... This is also a knot in my heart."

Pausing, Zheng Yang said.

"Alright."

Wei Ruyan agreed.

The teacher always taught that fellow disciples should help each other. Since he had a request, it wouldn't hurt to agree.

"I want to take you to meet someone..."

"Meet someone?" Wei Ruyan was puzzled.

She was naturally aloof and didn't want to see anyone except the teacher. He knew that, yet he still made such a request?

"You don't need to speak, just stand there..."

Seeing her expression, Zheng Yang felt embarrassed.

"Who exactly is it? If they are strong, we can report to the teacher..."

Seeing his expression, Wei Ruyan said.

"Not strong, on the contrary, very weak..."

Pausing, Zheng Yang gritted his teeth: "To tell you the truth... before I became a disciple, I had a crush on a girl. I gave her my heart, but was ridiculed and rejected... Since we're back, I want to see her one more time. Although I no longer have feelings for her, I want to put a proper end to this chapter..."

"So you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend, right?"

Wei Ruyan sneered.

This senior brother of hers, already a War Hall Master and an Ancient Sage powerhouse, was still so naive in matters of the heart.

She rejected him, so he wanted to find a prettier one to pretend to be his girlfriend and make her regret it?

A childish idea.

Extremely childish!

If it were her... if someone disagreed, she would just poison them. Simple and efficient, no need for all this nonsense.
