Long time no see

Looking at Shen Yi, who was blocking his way to ask for directions, Bai Yushan said without changing his expression, "Yes, I'm from the Eastsea Academy. What can I do for you?"

He had just come out of the stadium and was heading back to his hotel when this woman in white stopped him halfway there. She wore a plain white dress, had long, snow-white hair, delicate features, and an icy demeanor. She looked somewhat familiar.

Oh, I remember now, the Shrek teacher who got into a fight at the Tianhai.

Bai Yushan muttered to himself, but showed no sign of it on his face.

Shen Yi looked at the tall and upright figure of the boy in front of her, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had a calm and composed demeanor, which was completely unlike a child from the middle school. She thought he was a senior student from the Eastsea Academy who was participating in the youth group competition, so she asked him in a polite tone.

Do you know Mr. Wu Changkong, a teacher in the intermediate department of your college?

Besides leading her team in the competition, she also took the opportunity to visit her senior.

When Wu Changkong left Shrek, she had just entered the Inner Court and was still a little girl following behind. After so many years, she heard that he was a teacher at the Eastsea Academy, so she took this opportunity of the competition to come and see him.

Bai Yushan blinked.

"Of course I know him. He's the famous Teacher Wu Changkong from Class Zero. Who in the entire Eastsea Academy doesn't know him?"

He spoke with a straight face, but secretly he was laughing to himself.

Wu Changkong always has a cold face, like someone owes him money. I'm the only one in the whole academy who dares to tease him for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi was in a good mood.

My senior brother has quite a good reputation in this area.

But the next second, she remembered how yesterday at the beach, that guy named Sea Tiger, punched her into the sand, and her face instantly darkened.

The thought of that bastard with the white tiger mask made her grit her teeth.

A dignified Soul Saint Battle Armor Master was actually punched into the sand by a brat; it's shameful to even talk about it.

Watching Shen Yi's expression change repeatedly, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning, like turning the pages of a book, Bai Yushan pondered, "This must be what they call menopause, right?"

It's such a pity that he's so young.

He was lost in thought, but didn't show it on his face.

Shen Yi naturally didn't know that the Sea Tiger who had offended her yesterday was the young man in front of her. She suppressed her anger and patiently asked again.

"Could you please take me to meet Mr. Wu Changkong? I'm a friend of his."

"Why not?"

Bai Yushan shrugged and turned to walk towards the hotel.

Since it's on the way, I'll just offer to show you the way.

Let's see who Teacher Wu's old flame is.

I sensed this woman was quite strong during yesterday's fight; Soul Saint- level Battle Armor Master, and she's actually Wu Changkong's friend?

Could it be an old flame?

That's interesting.

The two walked in silence.

Shen Yi glanced at the boy beside him from time to time.

The more I look at it, the stranger it seems.

She looks about fifteen or sixteen, but her face is so young, maybe twelve or thirteen at most?

But the way he walks, and the nonchalant yet intimidating air about him, doesn't seem like a child at all.

And when she stopped him just now, most people would be a little reserved under the influence of Soul Saint's aura.

This kid is quite something, so open and honest, not afraid at all.

Shen Yi was secretly puzzled.

Eastsea Academy, this year's class is likely to be the biggest dark horse!

They arrived at the hotel quickly and went straight to Wu Changkong's room.

Bai Yushan raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.

There was no movement inside.

Wu Changkong is probably meditating again.

Without waiting for a response from inside, Bai Yushan twitched his finger slightly.

A subtle electromagnetic force traveled from the fingertip and precisely wrapped around the spring of the door lock.

A soft click.

The door lock opened immediately.

He pushed the door open and went in.

The whole set of movements was fluid and natural, as familiar as if it were back in his own room.

Shen Yi followed behind, watching in a daze.

This kid...

Could it be that Wu Changkong taught him before?

So outgoing and familiar?

You don't even need to wait for someone to open the door?

"Bai Yushan! You've barged into my room again."

Inside the room, Wu Changkong, dressed in white, sat on a chair by the window, his brows furrowed tightly, his eyes so cold they could shatter ice.

Clearly, they had a lot of complaints about this uninvited guest.

Bai Yushan, nonchalant and carefree, completely ignored Wu Changkong, who was enraged. He glanced around the room and clicked his tongue twice.

"Teacher Wu, the treatment of homeroom teachers is really different! It's so luxurious compared to us students!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, making way for Shen Yi behind him.

"Look, your old flame is here to see you."

His tone carried a hint of mischievous amusement.

After saying that, he didn't wait for their reaction, took a step, and slipped away.

As he closed the door, he even winked at Wu Changkong.

He was so Wu Changkong he almost drew his sword.

Inside the room, Shen Yi stood at the door and blinked.

Are all students at the Eastsea Academy like this?

In her memory, every student in the college was well-behaved when they saw their teachers.

That's great, barging into the teacher's room without permission and even daring to make fun of the teacher.

But Wu Changkong, though his face was dark, didn't seem... really angry?

It carried a sense of helplessness.

Could it be that he's been pranked too many times?

Shen Yi felt even more puzzled.

"Senior brother, it's been a long time."

Shen Yi let out a sigh of frustration, took two steps forward, and looked at the white-clad man by the window with a complicated expression.

It's been many years since we last met.

The once-unrivaled genius senior brother in Shrek Inner Court now looks much thinner and colder.

Dressed in white, holding a long sword, he sat by the window, like an ice sculpture that would never melt.

Even the temperature between her eyebrows and eyes is much lower than it was back then.

Wu Changkong remained silent for a long while, looking at his junior sister in front of him.

When he left, Shen Yi had just entered the Inner Court. She was a little girl who followed Master Zhuo Shi around, with pigtails, and called out "Senior Brother, Senior Brother" every day.

They've grown so much now.

They've already reached the Soul Saint level.

Wu Changkong's voice was somewhat low, tinged with emotion.

"You've already reached the Soul Saint. With you here, Master won't be lonely anymore."

He was referring to Zhuo Shi.

When I insisted on leaving back then, my master was furious.

It's good that Shen Yi is with me now.

Hearing his words, Shen Yi felt a slight pang of sadness.

"Senior brother..."

She wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

The events of that year were a closely guarded secret within the entire Shrek Inner Court.

No one expected that the couple, who were once the envy of everyone, would end up like that.

Back in the day, Wu Changkong was a renowned genius at the Shrek Academy.

He became a disciple of Zhuo Shi, an elder of the Sea God Pavilion and one of the Shrek Twin Holy Dragons Academy.

She also fell in love with Long Bing, who was in the same year. Both of them were top geniuses in the Inner Court, and no one in their class could surpass them.

One Sword Martial Soul, the other an ice-wielding Martial Soul; a handsome couple, they cultivate side by side, conquer trials together, and strive for first place together.

A perfect couple, envied by all.

Back then, Wu Changkong wasn't the Bingbing person he is now.
