When Bai Yuu and the others came to Ning Ya's residence and found her, Qinchuan had already left. He planned to walk around alone, visit some of the places he had been to, and reminisce about the past.
Qinchuan's first stop was the State Capital of Qing, the place where he was born and raised. Since he left that year, he had never returned. Now, he wanted to go back and take a look, and settle some old matters.
When Qinchuan returned to his old residence in the slums, he was very surprised to find that the slums had been rebuilt and turned into a bustling city. However, his house was well-preserved, and there was a big sign in front of the door.
Qinchuan's Old Residence.
Seeing this sign, Qinchuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He really did not expect that something like this would happen to him.
When he saw the old man who was almost seventy years old sitting under the sign and dozing off, Qinchuan's eyes could not help but soften.
Qinchuan's figure appeared in front of the sign and reached out to gently knock on the table. The old man who was dozing off was awakened. He looked up at Qinchuan and said, "Visit Qinchuan's Old Residence, twenty …"
The old man stopped before he finished speaking. He stared blankly at Qinchuan and was stunned.
Qinchuan saw this and laughed. He said, "Old Man Sun, we haven't seen each other for many years. Don't you recognize me?"
"It's really you?"
Old Man Sun was a little surprised, and then he laughed. As he laughed, he got up and hugged Qinchuan. "You're back?"
Seeing that Old Man Sun was not restrained because of the difference in status, but instead was as piercing as before, Qinchuan's heart could not help but soften. He said softly, "Yes, I'm back. I didn't expect you to be a ticket seller instead of a celestial device repair."
"Haha, I'm old now. That shop has been inherited by my grandson. Now I sell tickets here and help you look after this place." Old Man Sun laughed and said to Qinchuan, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Qinchuan nodded, and then walked inside with Old Man Sun. As they walked, Old Man Sun was still sighing.
"When I saw you just now, I didn't recognize you wrongly. I was just worried that you were not the Qinchuan I was familiar with. When I saw you smile and greet me, I was sure that you were the Qinchuan of the past. You were sensible and polite. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take the initiative to hug you."
Hearing Old Man Sun's words, Qinchuan smiled and said, "No matter what I become, you will always be my Old Man Sun, my boss."
Although Qinchuan had not returned to the State Capital of Qing for many years, he had always been thinking about Old Man Sun. Back then, before he met Ning Ya, if Old Man Sun had not been kind enough to let him work in the shop, he would probably have to pick up garbage to eat.
Looking at the familiar environment, Qin Chuan felt as if he had returned to the time when he was seventeen years old. At that time, he lived a fulfilling life every day. Whether he went to school or worked, he worked hard to survive. This place carried too many memories for him.
Old Man Sun lit a cigarette, smacked his lips, and said to Qinchuan, "I heard that you left the Star Dragon Federation, but I don't know where you went. You probably don't know much about the State Capital of Qing now.
Hehe, the Second Middle School has reopened. Do you know who the principal is? "
Qinchuan was curious and asked, "Who is the principal?"
Old Man Sun grinned and said, "It's that girl from back then."
Although Old Man Sun didn't say that person's name, Qin Chuan already knew who that person was. Recalling what had happened in the past, the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little complicated.
"This girl came back ten years ago. At that time, she was already a Nascent Soul cultivator. She should have had a bright future ahead of her. However, she suddenly came back and restarted the Second High School. She became the principal of the school. After all these years, the Second High School has become the best high school in the State Capital of Qing."
"Then she is really amazing."
Qinchuan smiled and suddenly wanted to go back and have a look.
…
With Wang Wenxue's talent, she should have been a cultivator in the Perfected Nascent Soul Stage if she focused on cultivation. However, in the past ten years, she put all her efforts into teaching and educating people, so she was only in the Advanced Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Wang Wenxue did not have any regrets or dissatisfaction about this. On the contrary, she felt that her current life was the most suitable for her.
On this day, Wang Wenxue did not work in the office. She stood on the balcony and looked at the sky in the distance, feeling slightly complicated.
Not long ago, Ye Qing Ning sent her a message and told her that the person who had left for fifteen years had returned.
Ye Qing Ning did not say the name, but Wang Wenxue knew who that person was.
She did not know if that person still remembered her, nor did she know if that person knew everything that she had done until now. However, she knew in her heart that the gap between her and that person had become extremely huge.
Perhaps, she did not even have the right to appear in front of that person.
"Long time no see."
Suddenly, Wang Wenxue heard a very familiar voice. She slowly turned her head and looked to the side and smiled, "Indeed, it has been a long time."
Qinchuan looked at the school outside the balcony and smiled, "I have never looked at the school from this angle before, but I feel that everything should be the same as before."
"Indeed, there is no difference." Wang Wenxue nodded, "Except for the people, everything is the same."
Qinchuan nodded, "You must have worked hard all these years."
"Teaching and educating people is not hard."
Wang Wenxue smiled, "I feel that I have lived a very happy and fulfilling life. It is very gratifying to see these little guys grow up happily and safely without being oppressed or ostracized."
"That is very good."
Qinchuan smiled and suddenly asked, "Is Black City still there?"
Wang Wenxue nodded, "Yes, it is. It is said that it is because you owed a favor to City Lord Qin that Black City was able to be preserved."
Qin Chuan laughed when he heard Wang Wenxue's words. "You're right. I did owe them a favor back then. Now, it's time for me to return the favor."
Wang Wenxue nodded gently, "Go, and thank you for coming to see me."
"No need to thank me, after all, we are friends."
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Chuan's silhouette had already vanished. Wang Wenxue stared at the empty space beside her, feeling as though she was in a dream. However, she was very clear that everything that had happened earlier was not a dream.
"I wonder how powerful he has become now."
Wang Wenxue smiled. Anyway, he must be more powerful than her.
