Year 1468 of the New Universe Calendar, five years after the battle of the Void Empire's Imperial City.
Five years was not a long time for most cultivators, but for the Capital of Starting Point, too many changes had taken place during this period.
The rise of the Human Race and the Demon Race had become an unstoppable thing. After five years of development, many geniuses had emerged in the City of Starting Point, filling the gaps in the backbone of the Human Race and the Demon Race.
Although the Tian people had lost Chang Tian, the Celestial Emperor had quickly filled the position of Zenith left behind by Chang Tian.
As for the insectoids, although they did not have any supreme existences, the main culprit who had oppressed the humans and daemons was dead. Coupled with the sacrifice of the Saint King and the Insectoid Queen in that battle, no one took the opportunity to oppress the insectoids.
The fall of the Nephilim Emperor did not cause much disturbance to the Demons, who were still recuperating. As for when a new Zenith existence would be born, no one knew.
Although Athius did not fall in the battle, his vitality was greatly damaged. After returning to the Deus Cluster, he lived in seclusion. The One God religion flourished under the leadership of Pope Saint Bodolo and God Lord Apollo.
Qinchuan, who had contributed the most to the battle, did not stay in the City of Starting Point. Instead, he returned to the Banished Land.
In the universe, Qinchuan was a Zenith existence that everyone knew. However, in the Elven City of the Banished Land, Qinchuan was only a warm and friendly teacher of the Blackmoon Combat Academy.
Four years ago, the old principal, Ning Ya, returned and reorganized the Blackmoon Combat Academy. Today, the Blackmoon Combat Academy not only accepted students from the Humans but also from the Demons. It treated everyone equally.
After more than four years of development, the Blackmoon Combat Academy had become the best academy in the Banished Land. It was the academy that all young people from the Humans and Demons dreamed of entering.
On the other hand, Qin Chuan had joined the Blackmoon Combat Academy three years ago and had officially become a teacher.
"Qinchuan, today is your third anniversary. Since you're on vacation, let's go gather with everyone."
Lü Zi, who was wearing a purple uniform, pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. She saw Qinchuan lying on a deck chair in the courtyard and threw a bottle of yogurt at Qinchuan.
Qinchuan unscrewed the cap of the yogurt bottle and took a sip. Then, he lazily said to Lü Zi, "I just want to lie down and bask in the sun. I don't want to move."
Looking at Qin Chuan's lazy appearance, Lv Zi smiled and said, "Teacher asked me to call you. If you don't give me face, are you not going to give Teacher face?"
Speaking until here, Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan with a subtle gaze and said, "Moreover, there is a new colleague coming today. It can be considered as a new colleague's induction party. It would be inappropriate if you don't go."
"Okay." Qinchuan helplessly sat up and said to Lü Zi, "Wait for me."
After saying that, Qinchuan got up and walked into the room. After a while, he changed into a well-ironed suit and came out. As a teacher, formal attire was something that must be prepared. Since there was a new colleague coming today, he had to wear formal attire to leave a good impression.
… …
Dining hall.
"Hello everyone, I am this semester's new teacher. My name is Yaorao. Please take care of me in the future."
In the middle of the crowd, a girl wearing a red dress was standing there. Her delicate and charming face revealed a shallow smile, elegant and generous.
Clap clap clap.
"Welcome, welcome!"
Along with the voice of Yaorao, the crowd immediately burst into warm applause. As a member of the crowd, Qinchuan was just blankly looking at Yaorao.
"Are you surprised?"
Lü Zi quietly whispered in Qinchuan's ear, waking up Qinchuan from his daze. Qinchuan looked at Lü Zi with somewhat complicated gaze, as if he was asking Lü Zi what was going on.
Facing Qinchuan's inquiring gaze, Lü Zi said in a low voice, "If you are curious about what is going on, then why don't you go and ask?"
Go and ask?
Thinking of this, Qinchuan who was never afraid even when facing the strongest opponent in history, at this time, unexpectedly couldn't help but want to shrink back.
… …
Qinchuan was holding a glass of red wine, looking at the graceful figure standing on the balcony watching the night scene. After hesitating over and over again, he gathered his courage and walked over.
"That … …"
"That what?"
Yaorao turned around and looked at somewhat uneasy Qinchuan. Don't know why, but seeing Qinchuan's current appearance, she somewhat wanted to laugh.
"Could it be that I am more dreadful than Yu?"
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "No, I just … … there are some words that I don't know how to say."
Hearing Qinchuan's answer, Yaorao deeply looked at Qinchuan and said, "If you don't know how to say it, then don't say it first, wait until you clearly think about it."
Finished speaking, Yaorao turned around, and once again looked at the night scenery outside.
Seeing this scene, Qinchuan suddenly felt as if his feet were rooted to the ground, unable to move forward, also unable to move backward.
Just like this, time passed little by little, until Yaorao once again turned around.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a straight man of steel?"
Yaorao looked at Qinchuan with extremely hidden bitterness. She had already done to this extent, but why was this man still so ignorant?
Hearing Yaorao, Qinchuan clenched his teeth and said, "Actually … … I heard everything you said."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Yaorao slightly frowned and asked, "What did I say?"
Qinchuan took a deep breath and said, "Five years ago, when I almost died, you said … … you really still like me."
Hearing Qinchuan's answer, Yaorao couldn't help but gawked. She had never thought that Qinchuan had actually heard what she had said at that time, but if Qinchuan had heard it, then why didn't he give any response until now?
Facing Yaorao's puzzled expression, Qinchuan said in low voice, "Actually, I also don't know what I was thinking, at that time when I was together with you, it was really a very happy and also a very blessed period of time in my life. Later, because of the differences between leaving and staying, we chose to separate … …"
Speaking till here, Qinchuan pursed his lips and said, "Later, after I was reborn in Nirvana, only then did I know that at that time, I chose to leave and go to the universe. Actually it was not my original intention, rather it was the mysterious attraction of Divinity Yu, which urged me to make this decision. Even if I had to abandon everything, I must go to the universe!"
Hearing Qinchuan's explanation, Yaorao was somewhat surprised. She had never thought that matter of that time was actually related to Yu.
"I know this sounds somewhat nonsense, but … …"
"I believe you." Yaorao interrupted Qinchuan and asked, "Then if you were given another chance, what would you do?"
Facing this question of Yaorao, Qinchuan frankly replied, "I would choose to stay."
Hearing Qinchuan's answer, Yaorao somewhat expectantly looked at Qinchuan and said, "So, what are you going to say now?"
This time, Qinchuan remained silent. He understood his own intention, and also understood Yaorao's intention, but this didn't mean that he could disappoint Lü Zi.
"Do you know why I suddenly came here to become a teacher?"
Seeing Qinchuan remaining silent, Yaorao suddenly asked this question.
Without waiting for Qinchuan to ask, Yaorao herself said, "Some time ago, Lü Zi went to Demon World to look for me. She told me one thing, you and her have been together for so many years, but you have never done the thing between man and woman, you … …"
Hearing Yaorao, Qinchuan's complexion immediately turned red.
Yaorao firmly stared at Qinchuan and continued to ask, "Because you are still thinking about me in your heart, so you haven't done that kind of thing with her, right?
You feel that if you do that, you will be letting me down, and also letting her down, right? "
Facing this series of questions of Yaorao, Qinchuan somewhat didn't know how to answer. He felt that he was now a through and through scum who played with other people's feelings, and should be pulled out and shot to death!
But facing the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in his heart, it was really difficult for him to make a choice!
Seeing Qinchuan's distressed appearance, Yaorao took a deep breath, then said to Qinchuan: "I am not the kind of person who will easily forgive a person. You have once let me down, hurt me, and now, you have also hurt Lü Zi, let down Lü Zi, so me and Lü Zi made a decision, we … … will leave you together!"
This time, Qinchuan was thoroughly dumbfounded. He discovered that not only he couldn't understand himself, he also couldn't understand Yaorao and Lü Zi.
Seeing the dumbfounded appearance of Qinchuan, Yaorao said in a very serious tone: "Now, you can either be a bachelor for the rest of your life, or think of a way … … to pursue me and Lü Zi at the same time, otherwise, no matter who it is, none of us will accept you!"
Qinchuan was truly dumbfounded this time, this … … this is also possible?!
"But, I … …"
"Aiya, me and Yaorao are already like this, how can you still be like a block of wood?"
Lü Zi's figure appeared out of nowhere, then she glared at Qinchuan, truly somewhat hating iron for not becoming steel.
Qinchuan very ashamed said: "After all, I have let you down in the past … …"
Lü Zi interrupted Qinchuan and said: "That is Yu's matter, what does it have to do with you Qinchuan?"
Yaorao nodded her head in agreement and said: "That's right, you are already a reborn Qinchuan, Yu's human nature has already died, the matters of the past already have nothing to do with you!"
Hearing the words of Yaorao and Lü Zi, Qinchuan felt that if he still couldn't differentiate good from bad, and still couldn't take that step, then he really could go and die!
Since by chance coincidence he obtained this kind of opportunity to start over, then this time, he will absolutely not let anyone down!
(End of the Book)
PS: There are some words I want to say at the end of the story.
This is my first time writing this kind of book, there are many shortcomings, many places I need to learn and improve. I am very grateful to some of my reading friends for their suggestions, whether it is good or bad review, I will humbly accept it. Thank you all.
As for Yaorao and Lü Zi, one is the cinnabar mole that makes people's heart palpitate, and the other is the white moonlight that silently accompanies and protects. To be honest, no matter who it is, it is a kind of sin to let either of them down. But if I want Lü Zi and Yaorao to accompany Qinchuan without any prejudice, then it is not in line with the character of Lü Zi and Yaorao.
So, only after experiencing some tribulations, at the juncture of life and death, can people see some things clearly and understand some things.
For this, I made some foreshadowing, such as the contradiction between leaving and staying. When I was writing this, I didn't think much about it, but after reading the reviews of some friends, I realized that I had thought things too simply. Here, I want to apologize to those friends who were affected by this. My writing of emotional drama was not meticulous enough, not perfect enough, affecting your reading experience, I am really sorry.
The final ending is something I have thought about for a long time. I need to give Qinchuan a reasonable explanation, and at the same time I also need to give Lü Zi and Yaorao a way out. Perhaps it is somewhat far-fetched, and somewhat imperfect, but a story will always leave people with some regrets.
Finally, I want to thank everyone for their support and love, and also thank those criticisms, thank you all.
