1465 Two Years Time, Unusual Shi 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 Xuanyuan’s successor defeated a Gilded Immortal using only three slashes. Have you heard of it?” Mister Lu asked.

“I heard Wang 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 Xuanyuan’s 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 Ai’s help whenever he needed it.

“Xuanyuan’s successor is not to be underestimated, but what’s 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, wasn’t it?” Chu Kuangren asked nonchalantly.

“Yes. You, as the Human Emperor, will eventually cross paths with them.”

“Too bad I’m 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. Who’s their leader?” Chu Kuangren looked up with a slight spark of interest.

“Shi Tianxuan, the owner of the Godkiller 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.”

“It’s good that he improves. Otherwise, it would be no fun.”

He was not bothered by Shi Tianxuan’s achievements as well, similar to Xuanyuan’s 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, Shi Yin?” Mister Lu asked.

Mister Lu noticed something unusual about Shi 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?

“Shi Ying… I guess it’s time to deal with her. She seems a little unusual lately.”

Chu Kuangren did not stop keeping an eye out for Shi Ying for as long as he returned to the academy.

She had been fine until recently when she started to act strange.

…

Hundred Academy.

Shi Ying was wandering inside the academy. All the other students who walked past her would greet her politely.

“Senior Shi.”

“Hello, Senior Shi.”

Shi Ying would nod and reply to everyone politely as well.

“Hey, do you know who Senior Shi is? Everyone seems to like her,” asked one of the students who was baffled by the level of enthusiasm.

“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of her before in the academy, but she’s something. She’s quite close with the chief.”

“The chief? In that case, she must be an influential senior!”

The students of the academy assumed 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, Shi Ying was by no means weak. She was considered one of the best among the students.

Shi 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 nobody 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?

Shi Ying fell into severe depression. She even started to suspect her own existence and her own identity.

“Am I really a real person? Does Shi Ying really exist? If not, then what are those images that keep flashing 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 Shi Ying was having an identity 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?!” Shi Ying raised her voice at the woman in white.

“Foolish child. You are me, and I am you.”

“Nonsense. I’m Shi Ying, a student at the academy. I don’t 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 what’s going on! Don’t go!”

Shi Ying ran up to the woman and tried to hold her back.

Bump!

She bumped 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 bumped into him.

“Chief! I’m sorry! I got lost in my thoughts,” Shi Ying apologized.

“It’s okay.” Chu Kuangren smiled.

He just came back from Mister Lu’s place and noticed Shi Ying walking in a trance, so he came over.

“I also want to bump into the Chief’s chest.”

“Who doesn’t! I wonder what it feels like. It must feel great.”

“I’m jealous of Senior Shi.”

“The Chief is so kind.”

The surrounding students paused and watched with utmost infatuation, especially the girls. Their eyes were shining with jealousy, they wished they were in Shi Ying’s position.

Chu Kuangren ignored the students’ gazes and told Lil Ai to analyze Shi Ying’s condition.

“The Buddhist Trait in her has grown stronger.”
