Chapter 749: Chapter 751 Return to School
“My end is approaching.”
With a single sentence, Nian Shutong struck Hua Rong’s vulnerability. She squatted down, leaning on the White-clothed City Lord’s knees, weeping like a child.
The White-clothed City Lord’s eyes were a mixture of sorrow, joy, and relief.
His hand stroked Hua Rong’s hair, the dry texture prickly against his skin.
“Fortunately, your ti flows more slowly. A blessing in disguise.”
For the first ti, Hua Rong was at a loss for words. Her blessing, but what about Xiao Bai?
Nian Shutong, who stood outside, had witnessed the conclusion and was ready to leave.
“Thank you.”
Eventually, Hua Rong stood up, wiped away her tears, and approached Nian Shutong.
“Thank you, I don’t know how to express my gratitude, but I’m truly thankful.”
“What do you plan to do?”
Hua Rong turned to glance at Xiao Bai sitting by the door, her smile radiant.
“It’s good, at least we can still see each other. I want to stay by his side and take things as they co.”
Hua Rong knew one thing in her heart: she feared that she had no family left in this world. When she left, her parents were already over a hundred years old. After more than two hundred years, they would no longer exist.
The world was so vast, yet it seed she had nowhere to go.
Nian Shutong had also thought of this, and considering Hua Rong’s talent, she left behind her Light Computer without hesitation.
“This is my Light Computer number, in case you settle your feelings and have nowhere to go, you can contact .”
Hua Rong morized the string of numbers, etching them into her heart.
“Thank you.”
It seed that beyond these words, Hua Rong genuinely did not know what else to say.
Nian Shutong just nodded and turned to leave.
The ti for the White-clothed City Lord’s departure was near; aside from using so heavenly treasures to defy nature and change his fate, no other thods would work.
Heavenly treasures, Nian Shutong had none, and even if she did, she would not use them just for a White-clothed City Lord.
After leaving Border City, Nian Shutong heard a story, found a cluster of valuable plants, and collected many herbs.
There was also a potential apprentice, although uncertain if they would et again, but still, it counted as a gain.
After leaving Border City, Nian Shutong imdiately headed to another battlefield. This ti, it took her less than an hour to enter and exit.
When the City Lord of this Border City and a group of experts he’d gathered went deep into the Insect Clan Battlefield, they saw nothing but so dark green blood on the ground and heard the screams of Insect Beasts, but there were no people, no beasts, and no traces of a fight.
“Is this the lair of that SSS-class Insect Beast?”
“Are you sure, Old Bi? You didn’t get it wrong?”
“How could I get it wrong? I’ve been here so many tis. If it hadn’t beco a major problem, would I have called you all here to join forces?”
City Lord Bi walked around but found no traces.
Weird, where was the beast?
A group of them arrived with murderous intent and left full of questions.
As for the SSS-class Insect Beast that disappeared, it beca an unsolved mystery.
The disappearance was too strange—what kind of strength could take on an SSS-class and leave no trace?
Could it have been the Insect Race’s Mother Beast?
That speculation was not just frightening; the Mother Beast would erge periodically. Last ti, it was the Emperor, the Empress, and others who put up a vigorous defense, sacrificing countless lives for over a hundred years of relative peace.
Could it be ti again?
But now, could anyone in the Legion stop it?
Admiral Yun He had sacrificed; could there be anyone else?
No one knew the answer, only continuing to prepare constantly, ready for any possible situation.
At that mont, Nian Shutong was entirely unaware that killing an SSS-class Insect Beast had led to such a huge misunderstanding.
After hunting two more Insect Beasts, Nian Shutong directly returned to the Third District and then back to the first district.
After arriving in the first district, Nian Shutong imdiately contacted Professor Zhou Zhen.
“What? You want to do so artifact refining?”
“Yes, is there a place?”
“Yes, yes, co to the school. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”
Zhou Zhen, unable to contain his curiosity, asked another question, “Can others watch?”
“We won’t disturb you; we’ll just watch from a distance.”
“That’s fine, I don’t mind.”
Nian Shutong listed so materials and told the professor, “Could you please prepare these for ? I will pay the school at market prices.”
“No need, no need! You can use them for free; this is a benefit for our Artifact Refining Departnt teachers.”
Nian Shutong thought about it and still rejected the offer. Accepting too much from soone could be problematic; she intended to refine this artifact as a gift for soone else, not for herself or as a demonstration for students.
“No need; we can just go by the market prices, as it’s for my personal use.”
“All right, as you wish.”
Zhou Zhen did not argue, and after they ended the communication, both headed towards the school entrance.
When Professor Zhou arrived at the entrance, he looked around. Not here yet?
Maybe she’s too far away?
“Professor Zhou.”
“Ah, hello, co on in.”
Professor Zhou didn’t look at the student speaking to him, not wanting to miss Nian Shutong.
But the nearby student didn’t leave, and called out again, “Professor Zhou.”
Finally, Professor Zhou took a glance at the student, who was wearing a headscarf in the heat.
“Do you need sothing?”
“Professor Zhou, it’s , Nian Shutong.”
Nian Shutong lifted her veil to reveal her face.
Professor Zhou, having seen his fair share of the world, rely asked in surprise, “Is that a tattoo?”
“Hehe, no, it’s just a little accident from cultivation, don’t worry about it.”
Nian Shutong didn’t go into detail and said to the professor, “Let’s go in.”
“Alright, alright, this way.”
Professor Zhou led the way, not sure what to say as they walked. Should he avoid the subject, or does it not matter?
“Professor Zhou, you don’t need to worry about it; just be yourself.”
“Alright, I was being shallow.”
Professor Zhou relaxed, starting a conversation with Nian Shutong, and soon they arrived at their destination.
“The ore is all prepared, but there are a few teachers who also want to watch. They will take a little longer to arrive.”
“No problem, I’ll work on a few things first, and then I’ll start after that.”
“Great, then I’ll tell them to hurry up.”
While Professor Zhou stood to the side, Nian Shutong found a very spacious area that was nearly suitable.
With a wave of her hand, an insect beast appeared.
Professor Zhou, absorbed in his communication device, snapped back to attention after being called several tis from the other end.
“Old Qian, there’s an SSS-grade insect beast!”
Professor Zhou was utterly captivated by the Armored Beast, an SSS-grade Armored Beast.
It’s beautiful!
Truly beautiful!
The patterns are so srizing, I just can’t get enough of looking at them.
As for Old Qian, on the other line, he was already frantically rushing over. If he missed the sight of an SSS-grade insect beast, especially during an Artifact Refining Master’s process, he would regret it for life!
“Damn! I’m just gonna live at the school from now on!”
