Return to Campus! Old Classmate is a Cultivator!

The next day at dawn.

Ning Wangshu went to school together with his younger sister.

He also packed his textbooks, study materials, and the like into his backpack and brought them along.

A few months ago, when he had gone missing, his mother Zhang Lanfang had already taken back his textbooks and study materials. Ning Ruoxuan hadn't thrown them away either; she had kept them neatly stored in a cardboard box.

"Brother, I'm heading to the classroom for morning reading now..."

Ning Ruoxuan turned back and said sweetly to Ning Wangshu.

"Hmm, okay, go ahead."

Ning Wangshu replied with a smile.

After watching his sister walk toward the Teaching Building, he then headed in the direction of the Teachers' Office Building. Having been missing for a few months, he needed to go find his homeroom teacher first—that is, Qin Feng.

But just as he had taken a few steps, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him: "Yi, are you... Ning Wangshu?"

Ning Wangshu instinctively turned his head and saw a graceful, fair-skinned, and elegant girl standing beside him, looking at him with surprise.

Seeing this girl, Ning Wangshu felt a slight daze.

He quickly remembered who she was, and so he smiled and said, "Lin Class Beauty, it's you! Long time no see!"

The girl before him was his classmate, named Lin Qingzhu.

That's right, she was Lin Anguo's granddaughter!

The reason he called her "Class Beauty" was because she was indeed the universally acknowledged class beauty!

In fact, whether in looks or figure, Lin Qingzhu was definitely at the level of a school beauty. It was just that in high school, few people had the leisure to bother with things like selecting a school beauty.

"Uh... it has been a while."

Lin Qingzhu replied, then couldn't help but take a closer look at Ning Wangshu and said, "Ning Wangshu, seriously, after a few months, I feel like you've changed so much!"

"You seem to have aged several years all at once, looking a lot more mature! But how did your skin get so pale? I remember you used to be a bit dark."

"The key thing is, how is your skin this good? I feel like it's even better than mine..."

Listening to her ramble on, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He was about to speak when he suddenly paused, a hint of surprise and some doubt in his eyes as he looked at Lin Qingzhu.

"Yi... Lin Qingzhu is actually a cultivator too!"

"And her cultivation isn't weak—she's already reached Qi Refining Layer 6! To have reached Qi Refining Layer 6 at this age on Earth, where spiritual energy is so thin... it seems this Lin Class Beauty isn't simple!"

Ning Wangshu was quite astonished inwardly.

He had never expected that among his classmates, there would be a cultivator.

Lin Qingzhu didn't seem to notice the strangeness in Ning Wangshu's expression and continued, "By the way, Ning Wangshu, where have you been these past few months? I heard you went missing? What's going on with you..."

Ning Wangshu snapped back to reality, smiled, and said, "Nothing much, just ran into a bit of an unexpected situation."

After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "Alright, I won't chat with you for now. I still need to go find Old Teacher."

"Hmm, okay. I need to hurry to the classroom for morning reading too. I'm off now, bye bye..."

Lin Qingzhu waved her hand and quickly walked toward the Teaching Building.

Watching Lin Qingzhu's retreating figure, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but think to himself, "I never knew there was someone like this in our class before... interesting..."

After chuckling to himself, Ning Wangshu withdrew his gaze and continued walking toward the Teachers' Office Building...

Before long, Ning Wangshu arrived at Qin Feng's office.

"Teacher Qin..."

Ning Wangshu knocked on the door. Seeing Qin Feng sitting at his desk, he quickly called out.

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately looked up. Upon seeing Ning Wangshu, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Ning Wangshu, you're here. How is it? Are all the family matters taken care of?"

"Hmm, thank you for your concern, Teacher Qin. They've been handled."

Ning Wangshu replied.

"That's good!"

Qin Feng nodded and added, "Later, I'll let all the subject teachers know, and have them help you with some targeted intensive review during this time. There isn't much time left until the College Entrance Examination, so you need to work hard."

"Alright, go to the classroom yourself. Just sit in your original seat..."

"Okay! Teacher Qin, I'll be going then..."

Ning Wangshu quickly said.

"Hmm!"

When Ning Wangshu walked into the classroom, all the classmates turned to look at him.

Immediately, a buzz of discussion arose in the classroom...

"Damn, Ning Wangshu really did come back. I thought Lin Qingzhu was joking, but it's actually true!"

"He came back just in time too. Any later and he'd have missed the College Entrance Examination."

"No kidding! I wonder what he's been up to these past few months. But now that he's back, there's less than half a month until the exam. I'm afraid it'll be hard for him to perform at his previous level this time."

"Yeah, unless he's been studying all this time. Otherwise, his grades are bound to take a hit. It's just a matter of how big the impact is. If it's serious, that'd be a real shame—he'd either have to settle for a worse school or repeat another year..."

Listening to the chatter of those classmates, Ning Wangshu couldn't help but smile.

Though in truth, he hadn't touched anything related to the College Entrance Examination for over nine thousand years, he hadn't forgotten it. It was just that after such a long gap, he was a little rusty.

Spending some time to refamiliarize himself would basically bring him back to his previous level.

A dozen or so days was more than enough for him.

Especially now that he could remember everything at a glance—in subjects like Chinese, English, and all the questions that relied on memorization, it was practically cheating.

Maybe his scores could even climb higher.

Ning Wangshu didn't bother with the gossip from those classmates and walked back to his original seat on his own...

For the rest of the day, Ning Wangshu spent his time flipping through textbooks, old study materials, and practice problems.

With the ability to remember everything at a glance and read ten lines at a time, he managed to go through the textbooks, old materials, and completed exercises in just one day.

The next day, he started testing himself with real exam papers from various subjects.

Though the final scores still lagged a bit behind his previous results, the gap wasn't large. Especially in subjects and question types that relied on memory, he performed noticeably better than before.

At this rate, he only needed a few more days to restore his other areas to their original level. Combined with his newfound photographic memory, his scores would inevitably be even higher than before...
