Finally Back

"Humans have spirit roots when they are born. Different colors have their own rankings, but sometimes, unique ones are born that only the individual themselves can learn of its potential. Similarly, the red aura we control will be the basis of our potential. You might feel like nothing happened after you absorbed the liquid in the lake but it will gradually reveal the changes as you advance on your cultivation." - Ruan Xin

"Unpredictability? It's either being too fast, using illusions and similar things, or you not knowing what you are doing. I can conclude that you are simply copying something else but I recommend that you only do it as a guide. I believe in you, princess, to be able to make your own technique that will perfectly suit you." - Tan Liqui

"Afraid of fighting beasts that have stronger cultivation than you? You shouldn't! Most of them are dumb if they are far from being a divine beast. They also only fight on the way they know and hardly learn new things. Observe, think, and test. Fighting a beast with cultivation that is higher by a whole stage than yours should never be a problem for you, princess" -Wang Shi

Mu Yue was currently with Wang Shi and is finally on their way back. A bit more and she can meet Xiao Yan again. She was currently recalling the things she learned when she heard Wang Shi speak to her.

"Since I am currently on my dragon body, we will have to land a bit far from our destination. The rest will have to be traversed on foot. I was tasked to accompany you whenever you are outside the territory. You do not need to worry about me during the time. I will be nearby if you need me and can do some chores but I will not intervene on things that might affect your growth. Also, I have a message to pass on to that Xiao Yan girl and is telling you in advance to not meddle in."

Mu Yue was curious about the content of the message. Since it was given to Wang Shi and not to her, it makes her more interested in the contents. She will just have to ask Xiao Yan what the message was and hopefully hear some interesting things.

The two of them landed and walked towards the school. Wang Shi can use any look for his human form. Because he was trying not to expose Mu Yue, he changed his form to a completely different one. From an adult man in his forties to a young man in his early twenties.

Thankfully, Mu Yue still has the means to prove that she was a student of the school and was let in after some questioning. As for Wang Shi, he temporarily has to stay near the entrance and wait for Mu Yue to meet the principal and vouch for his identity.

He thought that with his current identity of a young man that has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, it would be easy to bypass these security measures.

"I will be back, Senior Hei Long." Mu Yue used Wang Shi's current identity's name.

Mu Yue held herself on rushing to their house and first went to the principal office. Some teachers nearby recognized her and greeted her, asking how she was after staying outside the school for a while.

Mu Yue had to give some half-truth half-lies answer. Apparently, she was declared to have just started wandering around to train instead of missing or dead.

She opened the door and saw the principal busy filling up some paperwork.

"uh hello, father."

Zhi Li heard a familiar voice and glanced at the door. His eyes widened and he kept rubbing them, believing that he was hallucinating because of too much work.

"I am back." Mu Yue spoke again and also approached.

"Is that you, Mu Yue?"

"Yes."

"Welcome back. I have thought you will be gone for a longer time. Only about a year has passed since then, Xiao Yan will surely be excited to meet you."

"Are you not surprised?"

"I am so tired I wanna sleep. Besides, it's easy to know if you are the real one."

"How?"

"Gut feeling"

"Oh. Is Xiao Yan on our house?"

"Yes, she never left the area even once."

"Then I will go and greet her next. Also father, I would like to request you to go to the school entrance and vouch for my guardian with the name of Hei Long. He was sent by my family to accompany me."

"Sure sure, he will be able to go in as soon as possible."
