You Can't Undo the Past, but You Can Pursue the Future (Continued)

Ten, ten sets?

Is this considered "as long as"?

Okay, there were even more test papers in the past few days—but these weren't the answers she wanted at all!

A painful hesitation flashed in Shi Bao's eyes. The next moment, that hesitation turned into determination. Shi Bao leaned back and began to roll around.

"No, no! I want to go to school down the mountain!"

Just because you guys made up Daiyu's quotes, does that mean I can't be a little baby?

The dignity of elders is better left behind! Forcing it will only bring pain!

Magic must be used to defeat magic!

"Let me go to school! Let me go to school—!"

Looking at Shi Bao rolling around on the ground, making a ruckus, Su Mei showed a rare expression of helplessness. "Uncle-Master, you can't just go to a regular school whenever you want."

"Then... isn't Su Sushang supposed to go to school? I'll go to school in Sushang's place!"

"—Huh?" Li Sushang's eyes widened.

At any other time, Li Sushang would probably have agreed immediately and then happily run out to play.

But... as long as one's thinking ability is still intact, one can know that after this cheap junior uncle takes over, one's fate will definitely not be to go out and play, but to be locked in the study to do exam papers!

The only advantage of a study room over a classroom is that it has air conditioning!

But as one of the Taixu Sword God, would she be afraid of the cold or heat?

"Uncle-Master, please don't cause trouble for others! My teacher knows me, but he doesn't know you!"

Li Sushang quickly forgot about the friendship she had shared with her deskmate over the past few days and glared fiercely at Shi Bao.

It's all because of you that I was dragged into the study to study even on the weekend!

If it weren't for you, this chivalrous woman would have been having a blast all over Mount Taixu, and then playing games with her master all night long!

Liu Bai: "..."

Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen such a fanatical student.

Sigh, two more unfortunate kids driven crazy by studying.

"What's wrong with me covering for you for a day... no, a few days? I'm definitely better than you as a student!"

The two best friends, who had been glaring at each other through thick and thin, now looked like they were about to get into a fight.

"You're the student! Yet you tried to copy my test paper yesterday!"

Shi Bao began to expose Li Sushang's past.

"I... I just happened to not know how!" Li Sushang's face turned pale and then red as she cautiously looked at Su Mei's expression beside her.

However, Su Mei and Liu Bai were both sighing, while Yelan and Pellervy were just watching the show.

Liu Bai sighed. What could he say to Shi Bao?... You're already shamelessly acting cute, why don't you just refuse to learn?

"Thank you for your trouble, Liu Bai." Su Mei sighed and looked helplessly at Liu Bai.

"This is really a big problem..."

Liu Bai was also scratching his head.

Shi Bao and Li Sushang have stopped arguing. They realized that the two of them were making a final decision, so no one cared who the "big trouble" Liu Bai mentioned was.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's just give Fu Shi a day off."

Liu Bai spoke on Su Mei's behalf.

"Really?" Shi Bao revealed a triumphant expression.

[Herrscher of Sentience Affinity: 4043]

(This expression looks like a puppy being praised...)

Look how much you've pushed the kid; he's become more likable just because he's on vacation.

Li Sushang's expression was slightly bitter, but it couldn't be said that she was disappointed, after all, going to school was still better than being here.

Liu Bai asked again, "Will you come down the mountain with me?"

"Of course!"

Shi Bao patted her bottom and stood up, as if she wasn't the one who had just been rolling around on the ground.

"There's nothing new at Fuyun Temple. We finally have a day off, let's go down the mountain!"

"However, before we go down the mountain, let's agree on three rules."

"Speak!" Shi Bao didn't hesitate at all.

She's now terrified that she'll be given a day off, but then be dragged back to the study because she was wandering around Fuyun Temple.

"First of all, it cannot fly."

Like Sirin, Shi Bao mostly prefers to float around, sitting with his legs crossed and flying around. If someone were to fly around randomly at the foot of the mountain... well, it wouldn't really scare anyone.

Just like how people in the Far East wouldn't scream at the sight of a ghost or monster, the towns below Mount Taixu would probably assume that the immortal Taixu has returned when they see floating Fu Shi...

However, it's best not to make it too conspicuous.

"No problem."

"Then conceal your power and don't be too conspicuous."

"Hmm... that works too."

"Stay close to me and don't wander off."

"That's not a problem!"

Of the three rules, the only one that puzzled Shi Bao was the one about restraining power; the other two seemed reasonable to her.

"If I were to restrain my power... um..."

Shi Bao's expression turned serious for a moment, and his demeanor underwent a subtle change.

Is this okay?

Liu Bai turned his head and glanced at Pellervy.

Pellervy nodded slightly.

The Honkai energy level has dropped to a normal value.

The Honkai energy Shi Bao unconsciously releases is quite troublesome. Although it won't cause Great Honkai, it can easily cause wild beasts and plants to mutate.

It would be best if Shi Bao could be controlled.

"Can."

After Liu Bai nodded, the group went down the mountain together.

Along the way, we passed the "fake Fuyun Temple" halfway up the mountain, where the Jiang sisters were dressed as Daoist nuns—or more accurately, female Daoist priests.

There weren't many people around early in the morning, but judging from the remaining traces in the environment, the incense was still burning quite well. But thinking about it, it makes sense, since the gods here are real "creatures," and it's only natural that people would worship them.

Liu Bai even went to pay his respects to the long-haired Fu Hua —after all, this thing and the real statue are both divine statues.

Unfortunately, although the statue of Fu Hua with long hair has blessings, they are all basic and low-level blessings.

It's clearly a huge goddess statue, almost three meters tall...

Is this the difference between amateur and professional?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai requested a blessing that would aggravate the abnormal status.

After descending the mountain, the group boarded a bus at the foot of the mountain.

"Eh? Immortal, you're back?" The driver, who looked to be in his fifties, looked at Fu Shi as he got into the car and his eyes lit up.

"Forehead..."

Shi Bao seemed not to have expected that she would be suddenly approached by someone. Liu Bailing reached out and nudged Shi Baoling from behind, and only then did Shi Bao realize what was happening.

"Ah, yes. I just... just got back."

"Oh dear... you haven't been back for over twenty years." The uncle looked on with a sigh.

Seemingly unsurprised by the taciturn nature of the "Fu Hua" before him, he sighed a few times, then didn't press for further details and silently started the car.

It seems they know this "immortal's" temperament very well.

After staring at the driver for a while, Shi Bao found a young man in his Remembrance who looked similar and loved to worship gods.

It doesn't feel real at all...

"Is this really... a small town?" Shi Bao scratched his head, looking at the rather nice interior of the bus.

None of the others responded. Clearly, Shi Bao's understanding of the world largely came from Fu Hua's outdated Remembrance from twenty years ago.

It's good to let Shi Bao experience the world firsthand now.

"By the way, Liu Bai, what are you going to pick up today?" Yelan asked casually from the car.

"That thing."

"? What is that thing..." Yelan had only asked half a question when she suddenly came to her senses.

What else could Liu Bai use as a metaphor besides the Elixir of Love?

But... why are you here to get the Elixir of Love at this time? What are you up to, kid?

Pellervy and Yelan, standing nearby, immediately thought of the drugs Liu Bai had used to tame the Herrscher.

Then he revealed the same look as Yelan, and glanced at Shi Bao, who was in a daze.

Are they going to force-feed this guy drugs?

Pellervy suddenly felt a little flustered.

Should she praise Liu Bai as a man capable of great things?

One after another, they're targeting the Herrscher?

"Hmm? What are you guys talking about?"

Yelan and Pellervy's subconscious gazes made Shi Bao feel uneasy, and even sensed a hint of malice in them.

"No, it's nothing."

Even Pellervy was a little panicked.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that since following Liu Bai, the level of things she had seen had suddenly risen several levels.

When she met Liu Bai again, the biggest thing she did was murder her mother! After following Liu Bai, even Herrscher became worthless.

Let alone Kiana, even at home, there's a Herrscher a maid who calls her "Young Lady."

But Pellervy has always been someone with a strong sense of crisis, or rather, someone who lacks a sense of security.

No matter what, he's Herrscher, right? She just couldn't take it in stride when it came to drugging him.

If this thing goes berserk because of the medication...

However, I should trust Liu Bai's ability to make decisions in this regard.

Regardless, this "father" of mine is really good at being a scumbag, so maybe I can trust him a little in this regard?

Silence fell over the car.

"Ah, I've arrived at my stop. Bye-bye!"

Hearing the announcement that the train had arrived, Li Sushang waved to the crowd and lightly jumped off the train through the back door.

As for the atmosphere, Li Sushang wouldn't think too much about it; why bother thinking about such irrelevant things?

On the contrary, Shi Bao, because of her appearance—after all, the fake Fuyun Temple such a large statue of a deity—so most people would greet her familiarly when they saw her.

At first, Shi Bao was a bit confused, but as the number of times increased, Shi Bao became more prepared and its responses gradually became smoother.

Upon arriving at the designated stop, Liu Bai and the others disembarked.

"Ah... I didn't know my sister was so popular?"

Shi Bao sighed, carrying a large pile of food—there were quite a few elderly people buying groceries early in the morning.
