Li Hua stood somewhat conflicted beside Jian Chunqiu, saying hesitantly, “Elder Jian, it’s not a solution to keep Chu Ge hidden like this all the time. Many people think Chu Ge has returned. Though most of them are fooled, eventually the truth will slip out.”
Jian Chunqiu nodded slightly, agreeing that this wasn’t an effective solution.
He seemed to have thought of something, raising his hand to place it on top of Chu Ge’s head. A thread of white True Qi slowly flowed into the top of his head.
Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu with confusion, not understanding what he intended to do, but Li Hua saw through it. “Elder Jian, are you planning to help Chu Ge open his governor and conception vessels and teach him martial arts?”
Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu in shock, “Is this possible? Master, he’s not from our time and space. Won’t this disrupt the balance of time and space?”
If the balance of time and space is disrupted, then the real Chu Ge really might not be able to return.
Li Hua, unable to hold back, commented beside them, “The balance of time and space is already off. If we don’t take some extreme measures, Mr. Chu might really not be coming back.”
They spoke freely beside Chu Ge, not noticing that he had already awoken moments ago.
With his eyes closed, he felt a warm current slowly flow inside his body. Was this True Qi they were talking about?
He was genuinely curious and kept silent, wanting to see what this so-called True Qi really was.
Soon, Jian Chunqiu withdrew the True Qi, and under the night sky, his eyes were difficult to read.
For a while, no one spoke, and Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu in confusion, asking, “Master, how did it go?”
Li Hua also watched Jian Chunqiu closely.
Jian Chunqiu shook his head lightly, “He’s not suitable for cultivating Ancient Martial Arts.”
Lin Dong was puzzled, “Not suitable? Why?”
Was it because he wasn’t a person from their time and space?
Jian Chunqiu shook his head again, “I just infused some True Qi into him and found that it flowed unimpeded in his body. His governor and conception vessels were already opened, yet he cannot cultivate.”
Lin Dong was even more baffled. Since the vessels were open, why couldn’t he cultivate?
Yet Jian Chunqiu seemed unwilling to explain further, “Alright, it’s almost dawn. Go and rest for a while.”
Lin Dong and Li Hua exchanged glances. Since Jian Chunqiu wasn’t talking, they naturally wouldn’t ask more.
After they left, Jian Chunqiu remained standing by the bedside.
Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes and looked at him, “Did you know I was awake long ago?”
“Yes.” Jian Chunqiu moved to the sofa and sat down. The faint moonlight poured in, barely illuminating Chu Ge’s silhouette.
“What do you want to say?” Chu Ge doubted Jian Chunqiu stayed just to casually chat.
Jian Chunqiu smiled slightly, “You, like Chu Ge, are very smart.”
Chu Ge sneered, “I am Chu Ge, just not the Chu Ge you know.”
He paused, then asked, “You said there would be a way for me to return. What’s your plan?”
“I haven’t thought it through yet.”
Jian Chunqiu answered truthfully. Though he had brought Ye Chen back, with the Palace Master of Wufeng Palace causing such a stir that shook the entire world of martial arts, he still couldn’t figure out their motive.
“Chu Ge, we need to set off for the Capital City in the next few days, and you must come with us.”
Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, “Capital City?”

Knowing well that Mu Bingtong in this time and space wasn’t his Mu Bingtong, hearing Jian Chunqiu talk about leaving still made his heart ache.
He tried hard not to think of her, not to see her, but controlling one’s heart was easier said than done.
Jian Chunqiu noticed Chu Ge’s hesitation. Not knowing exactly what Chu Ge had gone through during this time, he just said, “If there’s anything you want to do in these days, do it quickly.”
Chu Ge looked up at him, “Anything?”
“Of course not. It mustn’t affect Chu Ge’s reputation.”
Chu Ge chuckled, “I know. Li Hua has reminded me more than once!”
…
Time passed fleetingly, and suddenly, it was the day of An Ruoxi’s exam.
After finishing the last question, An Ruoxi couldn’t help but marvel once again at Wei Yu’s genius in setting exam questions; almost all were from his selected areas.
She was the first to hand in her sheet and leave the exam hall.
Looking up at the sky, it was clear and vast. Although it was already afternoon, the gentle breeze and warm sunshine made her feel light and her steps bouncier.
No matter the exam result, she had experienced the high-stakes exam, and after the tense studying, the sudden sense of relief.
She should celebrate properly.
However, in this city, she seemed to have no friends to share the good news with.
Suddenly, a familiar and stern face appeared in her mind.
An Ruoxi shook her head, how could she think of him?!
Still, she really should thank him this time.
An Ruoxi took out her phone, found Wei Yu’s number, and was about to send him a text when his call came through first.
“Finished the exam?” A deep, magnetic voice resonated from the phone.
An Ruoxi’s lips curled up unwittingly, “Yes, thank you.”
“Come out.”
Huh?
“Look up.”
An Ruoxi dumbly lifted her head and saw Wei Yu, under the sunlight, wearing sunglasses, drawing attention wherever he went, holding a phone to his ear, leaning casually against a car with one hand in his pocket.
The sun glinted, creating halos around him, making An Ruoxi pause, her heart skipping a beat.
Seeing how many eyes were already drawn to him, she quickly ran to him, urging, “Get in the car, get in the car.”
She didn’t like being the center of attention.
Getting into the car, An Ruoxi’s excitement reignited. She naturally grabbed Wei Yu’s arm, “Did you know? The questions were from the key points you highlighted. It’s really a shame you aren’t a teacher.”
“Oh? You want me to be a teacher?” Wei Yu followed her words, nodding thoughtfully, “That’s actually a good suggestion.”
But seriously, only for a few seconds, Wei Yu’s next words choked An Ruoxi, “As long as there aren’t students like you, I think being a teacher would be a good career. I’ll consider it.”
“What’s wrong with students like me?” An Ruoxi retorted.
“Just because you’ve answered all the questions doesn’t mean you’ve passed, does it?”
