Chapter 1877: Zheng Yang Meets His Girlfriend (Part 1)

Eighth-grade pills can only be refined by eighth-grade alchemists. Each one is priceless. If such a pill were given to the King of Tianxuan Kingdom, he would undoubtedly consider his throne trivial and immediately bestow it upon someone.

So precious... and it was just given to someone to consume!

Feeling the surging energy within him and seeing his right leg perfectly intact, Mo Xiao felt as if he were dreaming, unable to believe it. "Yang Zi, this is too precious, I can't accept it..."

He had thought it was just a healing pill, never in his wildest dreams imagining it was an eighth-grade medicine!

If I had known it was so valuable, I would never have taken it!

"Don't be polite, it's just a pill. Compared to our friendship, this pill is insignificant!"

With a light laugh, Zheng Yang patted his friend's shoulder.

Although their worldviews differed, making smooth communication difficult, their friendship remained, and they were still the best of friends, the childhood companions who had trained with spears together.

"Mo Xiao, who is this friend of yours..."

Having also realized Zheng Yang's formidable nature, Lu Xun hastily approached, with awe in his eyes.

To be able to casually produce an eighth-grade pill and give it away... his status and background were beyond comparison for a newly promoted two-star master teacher like himself.

"Teacher, he is..."

Seeing that his teacher didn't recognize his friend, Mo Xiao was filled with doubt and was about to introduce him when he heard a voice transmission in his ear: "It's better not to reveal my identity. Things weren't very pleasant with Teacher Lu back then..."

Mo Xiao stopped.

His good friend, because Teacher Lu Xun had insulted Master Zhang, had once joined Zhao Ya and others to publicly beat up Teacher Lu, making their relationship somewhat strained.

Realizing the situation, Mo Xiao hurriedly said, "He's a friend I met by chance. I never imagined... he would possess such a precious pill!"

"Hmm!"

Noticing his student's insincerity, Lu Xun ultimately did not press further, but glanced at Zhang Xuan and the others and nodded thoughtfully.

Having seen his friend and Teacher Lu and knowing there was no point in staying longer, Zheng Yang instructed, "The pill can enhance your cultivation, but you'll need to consolidate it carefully to fully utilize its effects. I won't disturb you any longer. We'll meet again!" He then turned to leave with Zhang Xuan and the others.

By now, everyone knew these individuals were extraordinary. Especially the girl, who hurriedly chased after them, hoping to seize the opportunity she had missed. But after only a few steps, her vision blurred, and the figures vanished as if they had never been there.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream. Trying to recall, she couldn't remember any of their faces, let alone their physical features.

With a cry of "Wah!" she burst into tears.

Such a great opportunity had been completely missed by her; she truly wished she could gouge out her own eyes.

"That must have been... Master Zhang and Zheng Yang!"

Unlike the girl and the others, Lu Xun transmitted his voice to his student beside him.

"Teacher..."

Mo Xiao's face flushed.

It was clear that his good friend didn't want his identity revealed, but he himself was unwilling to hide it from his teacher.

"I won't make things difficult for you...," Lu Xun said with a wry smile. "The reason I could tell is because, apart from him, I can't imagine anyone else who would come here and casually give you an eighth-grade pill! Cherish this friend well; knowing someone like him is the greatest fortune of your life!"

Having been assessed as a two-star master teacher, he had gained access to certain secrets. Only then did he realize what a brilliant life Teacher Zhang, who had competed with him back then, had led after leaving Tianxuan Kingdom, and what incredible feats he had accomplished.

His own so-called genius, compared to the other party... it was better not to compare. The more he compared, the more he felt like an earthworm in a muddy swamp, while the other was a divine dragon soaring through the nine heavens.

"Since Teacher knows...," Mo Xiao pressed, "then you must know that Yang Zi isn't merely a Grandmaster but... someone of a much higher realm, right!"

Seeing that his teacher knew, Mo Xiao understood that hiding it was useless and could no longer suppress his curiosity.

Previously, he had thought his friend had merely broken through to the Zongshi realm. But then he had stabbed his friend's eye with a spear, and his friend hadn't suffered any injury while he himself was severely wounded, making him wonder if his friend had perhaps broken through to the Grandmaster realm.

Later, after taking the pill, his cultivation reached Mortal Transcending Second Realm, Yuan Qi tier, yet he still couldn't discern his friend's exact strength. Only then did he realize that his childhood companion had already reached a level even his own teacher had to look up to.

"His realm... is not something we are qualified to know," Lu Xun said, his face full of helplessness. "You only need to understand that if your friend had truly retaliated just now, the entire Tianxuan Kingdom would have vanished because of it..."

"The Tianxuan Kingdom vanish?"

His mouth agape, Mo Xiao was speechless.

Leaving the place where Lu Xun taught, the group returned to the classroom where they had once studied.

It was exactly as it had been before, still appearing somewhat small.

Entering the room, Zhang Xuan waved his hand. "You should all go see your families!"

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded, and Wang Ying, Zhao Ya, and the others flew out.

Wang Ying's family was one of the four great clans of Tianxuan Royal City, and her elder brother, father, and other relatives were all there. Zhao Ya's father was the City Lord of White Jade City, a powerful figure who held sway over a region. Thus, it was natural for them to visit their families upon their return.

As for Wei Ruyan and Lu Chong, they had long since lost their families and had no such ties.

Seeing Zhao Ya and the others leave, Zheng Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Junior Sister Ruyan, could you... accompany me somewhere?"

"For what?" Wei Ruyan frowned.

Although she didn't cultivate an ice-cold attribute cultivation technique, she had always been cold, rarely paying attention to her fellow disciples.

Though her relationship with Zheng Yang was familiar, they had actually not spoken much.

Pausing for a moment, Zheng Yang said, "I'd like... you to help me with something... This could be considered an unresolved matter for me!"

"Alright."

Wei Ruyan agreed.

Their teacher had always taught them that fellow disciples must help each other, so since he had a request, there was no harm in agreeing.

"I want to take you to meet someone..."

"Meet someone?" Wei Ruyan was puzzled.

She was naturally aloof and didn't want to meet anyone except their teacher. Zheng Yang wasn't unaware of this, yet he still made such a request?

Seeing her expression, Zheng Yang was embarrassed. "You don't need to say anything," he quickly added, "just stand there, and that'll be enough..."

Seeing his expression, Wei Ruyan said, "Who exactly is this person? If they're powerful, we can report it to Teacher..."

"Not powerful. On the contrary, quite weak..."

Pausing for a moment, Zheng Yang gritted his teeth. "To be honest with you... before I became a disciple, I had a crush on a girl and gave her my sincere feelings, but was met with ridicule and rejection. Now that I'm back, I want to see her again. Although I no longer have feelings for her, I still want to bring closure to that period of my life..."

"So you want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"

Wei Ruyan scoffed.

Her senior martial brother was already a Hall Master of the Combat Master Hall and an Ancient Sage expert, yet he was still so naive when it came to romance.

If someone rejected you, should you find someone more beautiful to pretend to be your girlfriend and make them regret it? What a childish idea. Utterly naive!

If it were her, if they disagreed, she would simply poison them to death, simple and efficient, without all this unnecessary talk.
