Chapter 2

A moment later.

Ning Wangshu followed his memories and quickly flew above the residential complex where his home was located.

He then slowly descended, unable to wait any longer.

Because he had the Concealment Incantation on him, he was not worried about being seen by other people or caught on the security cameras in the complex.

However, after landing in the complex, he still found a secluded corner, avoiding all cameras. After confirming that no one was around, he was about to remove the Concealment Incantation.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and could not help lowering his head to look at what he was wearing.

So he quickly activated the protective Fa Yi on his body, transforming it into a short-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, and white sneakers.

He then casually untied his topknot and sliced his hair short with a swipe of his index finger. Only then did he remove the Concealment Incantation and reveal himself.

Before long, Ning Wangshu arrived at his front door. After taking a deep breath, he finally knocked lightly, feeling somewhat nervous and uneasy.

"Who is it? Who are you looking for?"

The person who opened the door was an unfamiliar woman. She opened it only halfway and looked at him warily.

Ning Wangshu froze, staring at the unfamiliar woman in astonishment. He could not help taking two steps back and looking up at the apartment number again.

It was 402, no mistake!

After confirming the number, Ning Wangshu immediately asked the woman, "Excuse me, this is Building B10, Room 402, right?"

The woman was startled and subconsciously nodded. "Mm, that's right. What is it? Who exactly are you looking for?"

After confirming that it was indeed his home, Ning Wangshu tentatively asked again, "This... should be Zhang Lanfang and Ning Ruoxuan's home, right?"

"Zhang Lanfang? Ning Ruoxuan?"

The woman paused, but she quickly seemed to remember something. "Oh, you mean the previous owner? I seem to remember her name was Zhang Lanfang."

"But she already sold this apartment to me. She doesn't live here anymore..."

"She sold the apartment to you?"

Ning Wangshu frowned, his heart filled with confusion.

"Yeah, it was about two months ago. What, are you one of her relatives?" The woman sized Ning Wangshu up as she spoke.

Ning Wangshu did not answer. He merely asked again, "Then do you know where they moved to?"

The woman shook her head directly. "How would I know that?"

"I see..."

Ning Wangshu was somewhat disappointed, but he still thanked her. "Sorry for disturbing you. Also, thank you!"

With that, Ning Wangshu could only turn and leave.

Yet his heart was full of doubts. What exactly happened? Why would mom suddenly sell the house? And she sold it only two months ago...

After leaving the residential complex, Ning Wangshu let out a long breath. Looking up at the sky, he muttered, "Looks like I can only go to the place where mom used to sell breakfast and see if I can find her."

"But it's almost noon now. Mom has probably packed up and gone home already."

"If that doesn't work, I can only wait until tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, my Divine Sense is suppressed and can't be released. Otherwise, I'd only need to spend some effort to find mom and Ruoxuan..."

Retracting his gaze, Ning Wangshu still decided to try his luck at the place where his mother used to set up her breakfast stall.

However, he had barely gone any distance when he saw an electric scooter coming toward him.

Ning Wangshu paid it no attention. Instead, after the scooter passed him, it suddenly braked. The middle-aged man riding it abruptly turned around and looked at Ning Wangshu's back with surprise and suspicion.

He then hurriedly rode after him, stopped in front of Ning Wangshu, and asked uncertainly, "Are you... Ning Wangshu?"

Ning Wangshu was startled when the middle-aged man suddenly blocked his way and even called out his name.

As he looked at the man, he inexplicably found him somewhat familiar as well.

A moment later, Ning Wangshu suddenly remembered and said in surprise, "Teacher Qin?"

Qin Feng smiled. "It really is you! I thought I'd mistaken you for someone else."

"But it's only been a few months since I last saw you. Why do I feel like you've become a completely different person? Not only has your skin gotten fairer, but your entire temperament seems completely different too."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall something else and hurriedly asked, "Right, where have you been these past few months?"

"How did you disappear for no reason? I called your home before, but they said they couldn't find you or get in touch with you. They reported it to the police too, but there was never any trace of you..."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ning Wangshu was stunned again. "A few months?"

Then he suddenly reacted and urgently asked, "Teacher Qin, are you saying... only a few months have passed since I 'disappeared'?"

Ning Wangshu was somewhat delighted.

Although he had already guessed that not much time had passed since he was transported to the Cangyuan Realm, he had not expected it to have been only a few short months!

"Mm, that's right!"

Qin Feng nodded and gave Ning Wangshu a slightly strange look. The question felt odd, as though Ning Wangshu had no idea how much time had passed.

However, Qin Feng did not dwell on it and continued, "I used to feel quite sorry for you. Your grades were so good that as long as you performed normally on the College Entrance Examination, getting into a 985 university would have been a sure thing..."

At that, Qin Feng suddenly paused, slapped his forehead, and laughed. "I almost forgot, this year's College Entrance Examination hasn't happened yet!"

"Good thing you came back in time and can still make this year's exam. Otherwise, even if you wanted to take it again, you'd have to wait until next year..."

When he heard the words "College Entrance Examination," Ning Wangshu's lips twitched.

Although he had not ascended to the legendary Immortal Realm and had instead returned to Earth, he had truly "ascended."

Being suddenly told by Qin Feng to take the College Entrance Examination felt rather strange.

"By the way, Teacher Qin, how long is it until the College Entrance Examination?"

Ning Wangshu suddenly asked another question.

"About ten days. It's already May 23rd, and the College Entrance Examination starts on the 7th next month. That leaves exactly half a month!"

After a pause, Qin Feng looked at Ning Wangshu and added, "Although you haven't gone to school these past few months, I don't know whether you've continued reviewing your studies."

"But your foundation was already very solid. If you spend half a month cramming, you might not necessarily get into a 985 university again."

"But getting into a regular first-tier university should not be a problem. If you perform well, you might even have a shot at a 211 university..."

"May 23rd... In other words, only a little over three months have passed since I was transported to the Cangyuan Realm!" Ning Wangshu thought to himself.

At that moment, he remembered something and hurriedly asked Qin Feng, "Teacher, do you know anything about my mom and my younger sister? I just went home and found that other people are living there now."

"She said mom sold the house to her more than two months ago. Do you know where they live now?"

"About that..."

Qin Feng shook his head. "I'm not too sure either."

"Right, I remember that Ning Ruoxuan from Class One of the second year is your younger sister, right? How about I call their homeroom teacher and ask for you?"

"Today is Sunday, so the second-year students don't have class. Your younger sister probably isn't at school either."

"Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Qin..."

Ning Wangshu hurriedly said.

"Hehe, don't mention it."

Qin Feng waved his hand and immediately took out his phone to make a call...

A moment later, Qin Feng put down his phone and said to Ning Wangshu, "I asked for you. Her homeroom teacher said your younger sister seems to have rented a place near the school."

"She isn't particularly sure where exactly."

"The main thing is that your younger sister doesn't have a phone, and her homeroom teacher doesn't have her contact information. Otherwise, she could have called her directly to ask..."

"Okay! Thank you, Teacher Qin. I'll go look for her myself. If I really can't find her, I can just go directly to the school tomorrow to find her." Ning Wangshu replied.

"Mm. Then that's it for now. If there's nothing else, I'll be going. Right, after you've dealt with things at home, remember to return to school and register as soon as possible."

"There's only half a month left until the College Entrance Examination. I'll talk to your other teachers and have them hurry up with some intensive review for you. Don't waste this opportunity, or you'll have to wait until next year again..."

With that, Qin Feng left...
