Long Time No See

"You, you're a teacher?"

After a long while, Xiao Yan asked in a slightly incredulous tone.

His teacher has changed so much that he's having trouble accepting it all at once.

Having grown accustomed to their teacher's elderly appearance, nowadays, when they walk together, people tend to mistake them for brothers, rather than master and apprentice!

"What? Do I look ugly like this? Or do you find it awkward to look at me?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Yao Lao was honestly a little uncomfortable.

For many years, he has not shown himself in this appearance.

Yao Lao's strength was actually far superior to Feng Xian's.

However, if Feng Xian can maintain a relatively youthful appearance, how could Yao Lao not do the same?

Actually, it's just that Yao Lao's mindset has aged, so he's too lazy to maintain his youthful appearance.

This explains the image of Yao Lao that Xiao Yan later saw.

Now that he has learned that the Demon Saint Valley has reappeared and that his fiancée has returned, Yao Lao's mindset has naturally changed again.

It's worth noting that when Xiao Yan returned, he described Hu Jiujiu's current appearance.

That was exactly the same as when he parted ways with that person!

They all looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

Given this, why would the Yao Lao want to appear before the other party as an elderly person?

The reason why Yao Lao stayed indoors for the past three days was to tidy up his new image!

It just goes to show that both women and men care a lot about how they are perceived by their partners!

Even the Yao Lao was no exception to this.

However, after so many years, he had returned to his youthful appearance, which made it somewhat difficult for him to Yao Lao.

Therefore, he wanted Xiao Yan to take a look and see if there was anything wrong with his current appearance.

Who would have thought that this would terrify Xiao Yan...

"No, teacher, it's definitely not ugly! But, how should I put it, I'm used to seeing you like this before, and now that you've suddenly become young again, I'm a little unprepared..."

Xiao Yan then spoke truthfully.

This is indeed his truest thought!

"Xiao Yan, it's not important whether you're mentally prepared or not. I just want to ask you, if I go to see Jiujiu looking like this, will it be okay?"

Since Xiao Yan is also a young man, Yao Lao believes that it would be better to ask Xiao Yan for advice on such matters than Feng Xian. That's why he called Xiao Yan over directly after he came out of seclusion.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Hearing his teacher's hurtful words, Xiao Yan was speechless.

What do you mean it doesn't matter whether he was mentally prepared or not?

Wasn't he his teacher's most beloved student?

Why is my teacher neglecting me now that he has a fiancée?

Xiao Yan remained depressed.

However, Xiao Yan still answered his teacher's question.

"Don't worry, teacher, you're definitely fine as you are now! In fact, if you still looked the way you used to, I'd be worried your future wife would run away if she saw you."

Xiao Yan then jokingly teased his teacher.

Although Hu Jiujiu is not that kind of person.

But if she actually sees the Yao Lao when she meets him, and he really is an elderly person, I imagine she'll experience a significant psychological letdown.

However, since Yao Lao is only around a hundred years old and has already reached the Dou Sheng realm, adjusting his appearance is not actually a very difficult thing for him.

He could make himself look younger, let alone his current appearance in his twenties.

"You little rascal, you're getting bolder and bolder, daring to joke about your teacher like that!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's teasing, Yao Lao pretended to beat him up.

However, it was clear that Yao Lao was quite happy after Xiao Yan said that his current appearance was fine.

Clearly, after so many years, the Yao Lao wanted to leave a good impression on his fiancée.

It has to be said that after learning of the return of Demon Saint Valley and Hu Jiujiu, Yao Lao's mentality has become much younger.

"Haha, teacher, now that you've regained your youth, hurry up and go see your wife! Give her a pleasant surprise!"

After dodging Yao Lao's feigned attack, Xiao Yan smiled and offered his suggestion.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao was taken aback, then nodded.

"Yes, so many years have passed, I wonder how Jiujiu is doing? I should give her a surprise!"

The Yao Lao thought Xiao Yan's words made a lot of sense.

It can only be said that Yao Lao and Hu Jiujiu are truly a betrothed couple!

Even on this matter, the two of them thought exactly the same thing.

However, Yao Lao learned of Hu Jiujiu's news a little later than Hu Jiujiu learned of his news.

In addition Yao Lao spent three days tidying up his appearance, which resulted in Hu Jiujiu approaching Starfall Pavilion first!

Just then, after finishing his conversation with Xiao Yan, Yao Lao was preparing to head to the Demon Saint Valley in the Beast Region.

Unexpectedly, a disciple from the Starfall Pavilion came to report that the Fox Saint from the Demon Saint Valley had come to visit.

"Call out"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan saw that his teacher was probably heading there to pick him up at top speed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"So teachers have this side to them too?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

However, after Xiao Yan whispered, he saw the disciple who had just come to report staring wide-eyed at the spot where Yao Lao had just disappeared.

"Senior Brother Xiao Yan, was that young man... was he the Pavilion Master?"

Clearly, this Starfall Pavilion disciple looks exactly like Xiao Yan did when he first saw Yao Lao regain his youth!

"Yes, that was the teacher just now!"

Xiao Yan nodded and answered the question from the Starfall Pavilion disciple.

Afterwards, the Starfall Pavilion disciple remained dazed until he left.

However, once he recovered, news of his new appearance as the sect leader quickly spread throughout the entire Starfall Pavilion!

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this moment, when Yao Lao received the report from the Starfall Pavilion disciple that the Fox Saint of Demon Saint Valley had come to visit, he was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that Hu Jiujiu would find out about him first and come looking for him!

It can only be said that Xiao Lin deserves the most credit for this!

On the other side, Yao Lao had already arrived at the entrance of the Starfall Pavilion at his fastest speed.

Outside the mountain gate, a gentle breeze was blowing, and a girl who had never changed in the Yao Lao's eyes was standing there gracefully.

The girl's long golden hair was fluttering in the breeze.

At the same time, after the Yao Lao appeared, the blonde girl was staring back at him in a daze.

And so, the two gazed at each other, their eyes revealing a myriad of emotions.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

They had so much to say to each other.

In the end, they both laughed.

"Yao Chen, it's been a long time!"

As a smile appeared on her face, Hu Jiujiu spoke first.

"Yes, Jiujiu, it's been so long! I thought... I'd never see you again!"

The Yao Lao's voice was choked with emotion.

Seeing this, Hu Jiujiu smiled, her eyes narrowing, and she revealed one of her little tiger teeth.

"Call out"

Immediately afterwards, the Yao Lao felt a fragrant breeze waft over, and a soft, delicate body was already in his arms.

Immediately, the Yao Lao hugged the delicate body in his arms tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear at any moment!

"Yao Chen, I miss you so much!"

The soft murmur echoed in Yao Lao's ears.
