Return to School

Shen Hui logged out of the Starry Sky Leaderboard stronghold.

Regarding this widely discussed matter, Shen Hui will not admit that he was responsible.

One should always keep some cards up their sleeve, especially during these extraordinary times.

If the outside world finds out, it will definitely attract the attention of countless forces.

Good forces are fine, but I'm afraid of those heretics lurking beneath the surface.

Especially the church whose summoning ritual they themselves had disrupted.

Even if they knew I was in the World Association, they would probably still storm in, and if they couldn't kill me, they would at least give me a huge beating.

Shen Hui took Raven out, hailed a taxi, and headed towards Qingxue's residential area.

The car drove slowly down the street, where there were many security guards conducting inspections.

The censorship has become stricter recently.

However, after Shen Hui revealed his identity as Advanced member of the World Association...

The journey was smooth and unimpeded.

Even the driver became enthusiastic, constantly chatting with Shen Hui.

It seems they want to establish some connection with Shen Hui.

Shen Hui could understand their feelings. Even the weakest creator was still someone who possessed Creation World.

It is beyond the reach of Common.

"You creators must be very busy, right? My relative's uncle's neighbor's son's friend is also a creator, and I heard they're busy building their own worlds."

"You guys must earn a lot of money in a day, right? Probably more than we do in a year. But that's to be expected, since you're our protector."

"My son will be eighteen next year, and I hope he can also become a creator, so that he can do his part to protect humanity."

With a polite yet slightly awkward smile, Shen Hui listened to the driver's various questions, occasionally offering a response.

Finally, the car passed by the old neighborhood where Shen Hui first lived.

Shen Hui looked out the window. It was still the same as before, with a group of familiar old men and women chatting about everything under the sun.

It seems like everything else is changing, but this place will never change.

Or rather, this is a forgotten area where no one cares about a group of people who are on their deathbeds.

As an orphan who had lived here for a long time, Shen Hui was like a tender sprout emerging from rotten wood.

Finally, the car stopped in front of Qingxue's residential area.

Shen Hui called Qingxue, who came out a few minutes later.

Qingxue walked over and was about to greet Shen Hui when she saw the Raven on his shoulder and looked a little surprised.

"Shen Hui, what kind of bird is this? Did you pick it up?"

Shen Hui smiled, "Raven, my pet. What do you think? He's very clever."

"Pet?"

Qingxue carefully examined the Raven, her eyes filled with curiosity.

At that moment, the Raven flapped its wings and flew from Shen Hui's shoulder to Qingxue's head.

"Ah!"

Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you.

Seeing Qingxue's panicked and frightened appearance, Shen Hui quickly spoke up to remind her.

Qingxue calmed down after hearing Shen Hui's words.

"Yeah?"

Qingxue shook her head, but the Raven remained standing there steadily, craning its neck to look down.

Qingxue finally smiled, finding it interesting.

"Very well-behaved."

"Of course."

Shen Hui answered somewhat haltingly, because his mind was not on Shen Hui 'Qingxue question at all.

The image of the Raven craning its neck to look down was also shared in Shen Hui's mind.

What comes into view is a pair of Northern Hemispheres between the loose clothing and the body.

This wasn't something Shen Hui did intentionally; Raven simply looked over there on its own initiative.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Qingxue noticed Shen Hui's expression had become a little strange and asked with a puzzled look.

"Ahem, no, it's just that you seem to be quite famous here."

Shen Hui noticed that many people nearby were looking at Qingxue and talking about her, including Shen Hui, who had met up with Qingxue.

Grabbing Qingxue's hand, Shen Hui immediately ran away from there.

"Sigh, I'm used to it. I made some money by virtue of my status as the creator, and I wanted to move my parents to a better house, but they didn't want to."

When they reached a less crowded section of the road, Shen Hui instinctively wanted to let go of Qingxue's hand.

But Qingxue gripped it tighter.

Shen Hui chuckled softly, "Old people are all sentimental. In a new environment, they don't recognize anyone. But here are some old neighbors."

"Yeah, that's what they said too. Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Shall we take the bus?"

Shen Hui nodded.

Qingxue took Shen Hui's hand and started walking towards the platform ahead.

The bus arrived shortly after.

Shen Hui and Qingxue found a place to sit down at the back of the car.

The Raven also jumped from above Qingxue's head onto the car window sill.

Qingxue tried to reach out and pull the Raven back.

Ignore him.

Qingxue withdrew her hand. Raven seemed to be blowing in the wind there, and indeed, as Shen Hui said, it seemed very clever.

"Was everything alright last night? I heard some things about yesterday from the Starry Night Adventure Group."

Qingxue asked Shen Hui about what happened last night.

"Of course it's fine, didn't I say that yesterday?"

Shen Hui replied.

"But... but didn't you see it yesterday? None of us saw it, but you did."

Qingxue's words carried a hint of worry. Based on Shen Hui's tone and words yesterday, she was certain that Shen Hui had seen it.

"If there's anything you need, you can tell me. I'm quite strong now, and maybe I can help you out."

Shen Hui chuckled softly, "Really? How's your Creation World doing now?"

"I am refining my worldview; I want to integrate it into a belief system so that it can develop more comprehensively and deeply."

Qingxue spoke with confidence.

"Your Esper World. Wouldn't it be too much of a stretch to integrate it into a belief system? Besides, you're not necessarily compatible with it. This might distort your worldview and backfire."

Shen Hui suggested, somewhat worried that Qingxue might ruin his Creation World.

After all, there are examples like this before.

"Don't worry, I know that, but if I want to improve my strength and bridge the gap between me and the likes of you, it's essential."

Seeing Qingxue's resolute expression, Shen Hui didn't say anything more.

Everyone has their own ideas about how to create the Creation World.

After a few stops, the bus stopped at the school platform.

The Principal and a group of teachers were already waiting at the door.

Upon seeing Shen Hui and Qingxue, they greeted them with radiant smiles and boundless enthusiasm.

The Principal said, "Shen Hui, Qingxue, why take the bus? Next time you come, our school will send someone to pick you up."

"Principal, no need to trouble yourself. How's school lately?"

Shen Hui responded with respect.

Shen Hui was very grateful to the Principal, after all, the principal had confidence in him from the very beginning and had high hopes for him.

He even contributed a considerable amount of money out of his own pocket.

"Haha, not bad, but because of the two of you, our school will have the largest resource allocation in our region this year."

"Now our school has become the most popular school. We'll be recruiting new students soon, but many people have already registered."

Greeted by the Principal, Shen Hui and Qingxue strolled around the school and then sat in the principal's office for a chat.

They finally left in the afternoon.

Shen Hui and Qingxue strolled around the school area again.

However, after wandering around for a short while, Shen Hui sensed something.

The Raven perched on Qingxue's head was released into the air.

The Raven circled in the sky, following Shen Hui, and some time later...

Shen Hui finally realized something. "Someone is following me."
