Chapter 1465 Two Years Time, Unusual s.h.i.+ Ying, What Goes Around, Comes Around
At Hundred Academy, Chu Kuangren was playing chess with Mister Lu.
It has been two years since he returned to the academy. His cultivation level barely increased but this energy presence has gotten more and more unpredictable.
Chief, I heard from the Human Emperor Sect that Xuanyuans successor defeated a Gilded Immortal using only three slashes. Have you heard of it? Mister Lu asked.
I heard w.a.n.g Chentian and the others talking about it, Chu Kuangren answered but his eyes were glued to the chessboard.
!!
He was thinking about where to put the next chess piece and paid no attention to the matter revolving around Xuanyuans successor.
He no longer used Lil Ai to cheat in his chess games with Mister Lu, so he had to think about where to place the next chess piece himself.
Of course, he would still use Lil Ais help whenever he needed it.
Xuanyuans successor is not to be underestimated, but whats more complicated is the clan behind him, the Ji Clan. It was said that the clan was closely related to the fall of the Human Emperor.
Back when Emperor Wu attacked King Zhou, his surname was Ji, wasnt it? Chu Kuangren asked nonchalantly.
Yes. You, as the Human Emperor, will eventually cross paths with them.
Too bad Im not King Zhou. If they wanted to recreate the fall of the Human Emperor, they would be disappointed.
I have full confidence in you. Besides, the Demonic Dao has been making their moves in the past two years. They seemed to have built their kingdom, Mister Lu continued.
Oh? The Demonic Dao Sect has built a kingdom of their own, huh? Interesting. Whos their leader? Chu Kuangren looked up with a slight spark of interest.
s.h.i.+ Tianxuan, the owner of the G.o.dkiller Spear. He founded the kingdom and called out to all the demonic cultivators to join him. I heard he has grown quite strong in the past two years.
Its good that he improves. Otherwise, it would be no fun.
He was not bothered by s.h.i.+ Tianxuans achievements as well, similar to Xuanyuans successor.
Feeling proud after founding a kingdom? It was nothing.
Chu Kuangren had an entire universe in his body, and he did not even talk about it.
And
Mister Lu was updating him about all kinds of events that happened in the outside world while playing chess with him.
The appearance of the new Divine Daoists and Divine Maidens from the Immortal Hall, some Prodigies making a name for themselves, etc. He planned to keep Chu Kuangren up-to-date so that he would be able to prepare for the upcoming events.
Oh, and one more thing. What are you going to do about the girl, s.h.i.+ Yin? Mister Lu asked.
Mister Lu noticed something unusual about s.h.i.+ Ying at first glance.
He was an Arch Gilded Immortal, after all, hence the sharp insights.
How could he not notice when someone with a hidden agenda stayed beside Chu Kuangren for so long?
s.h.i.+ Ying I guess its time to deal with her. She seems a little unusual lately.
Chu Kuangren did not stop keeping an eye out for s.h.i.+ Ying for as long as he returned to the academy.
She had been fine until recently when she started to act strange.
Hundred Academy.
s.h.i.+ Ying was wandering inside the academy. All the other students who walked past her would greet her politely.
Senior s.h.i.+.
h.e.l.lo, Senior s.h.i.+.
s.h.i.+ Ying would nod and reply to everyone politely as well.
Hey, do you know who Senior s.h.i.+ is? Everyone seems to like her, asked one of the students who was baffled by the level of enthusiasm.
I dont know. Ive never heard of her before in the academy, but shes something. Shes quite close with the chief.
The chief? In that case, she must be an influential senior!
The students of the academy a.s.sumed that those who were close to Chu Kuangren were someone amazing.
After all, people were attracted by their own kind. If the chief was already this powerful, those who could be in his circle would not be weak either.
In fact, s.h.i.+ Ying was by no means weak. She was considered one of the best among the students.
s.h.i.+ Ying felt a little confused and baffled whenever people greeted her and whenever she strolled past the buildings of the academy.
Am I really part of the academy?
The question has been troubling her mind lately.
In the past, she thought she was a n.o.body in the academy and she wanted to improve herself because she admired Chu Kuangren, hence the trip to Interstellar Arena.
Now it seemed like things did not develop as expected.
First of all, no matter how low of an existence she had in the past, she must at least feel a sense of familiarity with the academy.
However, when she arrived at the academy, everything felt so new and different. The academy differed vastly from the image she had, but she could not remember exactly what impression she had of the academy.
On top of that, other than Chu Kuangren, she knew almost no one in the academy, and others felt the same about her.
It was strange.
Had she really returned to the academy that she once lived in? Or were her memories altered by something and that those events had never happened before?
s.h.i.+ Ying fell into severe depression. She even started to suspect her own existence and her own ident.i.ty.
Am I really a real person? Does s.h.i.+ Ying really exist? If not, then what are those images that keep flas.h.i.+ng in my mind? she muttered.
She had been seeing strange images in her mind lately, which resembled a Buddha statue and some monks, plus a woman in white.
The woman felt familiar but she could not remember who she was.
While s.h.i.+ Ying was having an ident.i.ty crisis, her mind showed her the images again.
The woman in white appeared once more.
The woman held a small porcelain vase in her hand and had exquisite facial features. She even bore a merciful aura around her as if she was Bodhisattva reincarnate.
Who are you?! s.h.i.+ Ying raised her voice at the woman in white.
Foolish child. You are me, and I am you.
Nonsense. Im s.h.i.+ Ying, a student at the academy. I dont know you!
What goes around comes around, I suppose. I had it coming. Fine. Go to the west, the Lapis Lazuli Land. You will find your answers there, the woman in white said before slowly fading into nothingness.
Stop! Tell me whats going on! Dont go!
s.h.i.+ Ying ran up to the woman and tried to hold her back.
b.u.mp!
She b.u.mped into someone and the thud brought her back from her illusions.
She regained her composure and realized someone was standing in front of her.
It was Chu Kuangren in his white robes.
She accidentally b.u.mped into him.
Chief! Im sorry! I got lost in my thoughts, s.h.i.+ Ying apologized.
Its okay. Chu Kuangren smiled.
He just came back from Mister Lus place and noticed s.h.i.+ Ying walking in a trance, so he came over.
I also want to b.u.mp into the Chiefs chest.
Who doesnt! I wonder what it feels like. It must feel great.
Im jealous of Senior s.h.i.+.
The Chief is so kind.
The surrounding students paused and watched with utmost infatuation, especially the girls. Their eyes were s.h.i.+ning with jealousy, they wished they were in s.h.i.+ Yings position.
Chu Kuangren ignored the students gazes and told Lil Ai to a.n.a.lyze s.h.i.+ Yings condition.
The Buddhist Trait in her has grown stronger.
