Class Teacher System

Chapter 79: This world is unscientific (10)

Teacher Ren seemed to have heard an affirmative sound from a certain master and was so startled that he nearly flung the sword onto the ground. However, seeing how Meng Xi Chun and Luo Yang were both looking at the sword with so much worship, he felt that if he dared to throw the sword away, he would instantly be beaten up by these two Taoist masters. Hence, under their psychological pressures, he still resolutely returned the sword to Yi Xiao.

Master Yi didn’t seem to like this. “You can protect yourself with it. In any case, I don’t use it much.”

Ren Zhu felt that if he could, he wanted to instantly turn into a ghost and drill into a crack in the ground.

“I’m fine, there’s no need. I can protect myself. Today’s matter is already over. Mother Pang has been waiting at home for a long time. We should hurry up and leave.”

Ren Zhu decided to first escape from this strange situation. Fortunately, Pang Fei and Zhang Lian Fei also felt that it was now very late and they should go back home. Hence, Yi Xiao didn’t say any more. He simply gave Meng Xi Chun and Luo Yang a glance before taking Ren Zhu and the others to the car and driving to Pang Fei’s house.

At this moment, the two Taoist masters left behind still haven’t snapped out of their astonishment. After a long while, Luo Yang then let out a scream: “Oh my God! If I take this information back to Xuan Dao, it’ll certainly make a lot of money, right?! No, I’ll must sell this to the psychic newspaper at once!”

Meng Xi Chun was initially still in a state of shock, but after hearing Luo Yang’s words, his eyes flashed. He secretly took out his phone and sent a text message, seizing the opportunity to be the first to spread the news.

Not to mention how shocked and angered Luo Yang was when he had excitedly gone to sell information only to be told that someone had already sold it to them, the news that ‘Master Yi really found his destined wife’ blew up the entire Xuan Dao circle as though it was a magnitude 7 earthquake.

Yi Xiao’s sole elder, Uncle Yi, almost couldn’t restrained himself from killing his way to Ren Zhu’s house. He was only persuaded against it by his son: “Father, if you go and cause that girl to think that our family is too fierce or that our family’s profession is bad, and then she ultimately decides that she doesn’t want to stay with Yi Xiao, are you sure that you can carry the blame?”

Uncle Yi silently pictured his big nephew going berserk and felt that this scene was too beautiful. He didn’t feel as impatient anymore. In any case, as long as his nephew has a partner, then his dead younger brother and sister-in-law would definitely feel more at ease. After realising this point, Uncle Yi made his son order an imperial feast to cover the entire table and ferociously ate to express his happiness.

And on this side, Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao were silently sitting in the car. They had already sent Pang Fei and Zhang Lian Fei back home. At this moment, Yi Xiao should be driving Ren Zhu back to his house, but Ren Zhu suddenly realised that the road they were on didn’t seem to lead there. He immediately blurted out: “Uh, I don’t think this is the way to my place.”

Yi Xiao looked at Ren Zhu and actually didn’t save his words as though they were gold: “We’re going to my house.”

Ren Zhu raised an eyebrow: “I don’t think we’re close enough for me to just spend the night at your house.” Also, who the fuck are you? Your words are so few, completely unlike Laozi’s lifelong partner, okay?

Yi Xiao didn’t reply. He simply took out a black and white bead from inside his shirt and placed it in front of Ren Zhu.

Ren Zhu looked at this beautiful bead and didn’t understand what Yi Xiao meant by doing this. However, when he placed the bead in his palm, he found that the bead slowly lit up; first it was the black half, and then the white half also emitted a soft glow.

“If the body and the soul don’t match, then the black half would shine. Most of Xuan Dao’s Taoist masters and cultivators all have a black soul bead which can distinguish whether a person has been forcefully taken over by an evil spirit.”

Ren Zhu’s heart skipped a beat. So, the black side lighting up proves that his soul isn’t an original match with his body? But what about the white half?

“The white half means…… a soul outside of the reincarnation cycle.” Yi Xiao’s deep voice contained a trace of joy: “Or it could be said that it is a soul not governed by the heavens.”

This time, Ren Zhu’s eyes slowly widened.

“So, you are the person I was looking for. Although I don’t know your name, my soul can confirm that you’re the right one. Look at me more; perhaps I was a chatterbox in my last life and the difference with how I am now is too big, but if you keep looking at me, you will understand that I am me.”

Ren Zhu suddenly recalled the final words that Qin Cong had said: He hoped that his next life would be a world where he could see souls, then no matter how his appearance changes, he would still be able to look through the soul and find him.

He could guess that Qin Cong had already discovered that he wasn’t the original Ren Zhu who was working for the evil organisation. But in that world, he didn’t have any way to scientifically explain this sudden change. He might have thought for a lifetime, looking through countless soul related books, such that he would resolutely say those words before he died.

Then, Ren Zhu also recalled an even earlier moment when Yin Feng had said: So long as it was something he wanted, then he would do whatever it takes to achieve it.

Suddenly, Ren Zhu’s heart was filled with all kinds of emotions. He simply couldn’t imagine how this person without a system could grasp the key points and dreams from each lifetime and carry them to the next world. Even when this person would always lose his memory and start afresh every single time, he was able to accomplish the resolution he had accumulated in each world step by step.

It took him hundreds of years of perseverance, and now, this resolution was finally accomplished and displayed in front of Ren Zhu’s eyes. Although Yi Xiao had only said everything like it was a passing conversation, Ren Zhu felt like he was falling apart. At this moment, no words could convey his thoughts; his face was just streaming with tears.

Ren Zhu decided that from this moment on, he would dearly love the soul of the person beside him. If he doesn’t exist in the future, then everything would be meaningless. And he was certain that this person who had spent several lifetimes to find a way to recognise his soul also loves him dearly.

The black and white bead continued to shine in the dark and quiet car. After a long while, Yi Xiao said: “Don’t cry. I have never been calmer than this very moment. From now on, I no longer need to worry that you’ll suddenly disappear for no reason, or that I won’t recognise you if your appearance changes in the next life. No one can take you away from me, because our souls will be bound together.”

Yi Xiao had just finished saying this when Ren Zhu directly threw himself over and fiercely interlocked his lips with him. That bittersweet feeling caused the two of them to forget the world. They only had each other in their eyes, unable to see any other existence.

When Ren Zhu woke up on a big black bed the next day with his body aching all over, he remembered just how wild he had been last night. As a several hundred year old man, he let out a rare blush. But this expression turned into horror when he saw the golden retrievers on the pyjamas that Master Yi was wearing. This style wasn’t right!!

Yi Xiao was holding a bowl of preserved eggs and lean meat congee, intending to sit by the bed and feed him. However, when he saw Ren Zhu’s horrified gaze, he pursed his lips and felt a little resentful: “…… I thought that this should be the style you like. There’s also one with white cats on it.”

Ren Zhu smiled. Although Yi Xiao didn’t have the memories of his previous lives, his soul could still remember bits of the past. “En, Da Huang and Da Hua; the dog and cat we’ve raised before.”

Yi Xiao was also in a good mood, but then he suddenly had a strange and sour feeling. Hence, he solemnly put down the preserved eggs congee and asked a childish question that Teacher Ren would forever be unable to answer seriously.

“How many lifetimes have we been together? The me in my previous lives must be lacking in all aspects compared with the current me, right?”

Teacher Ren: “……” I really don’t know how to answer your question. His intuition told him that if he answered that each person had something they were good at, then the plot would directly head towards nightmare mode. So before Master Yi could erupt, Teacher Ren decisively stated: “Yes, you’re the most powerful.”

Yi Xiao raised an eyebrow: “Oh.” Although these words didn’t sound that sincere, it was enough to ease his mood. Thus, he decided to add some bonus points for himself: “Someone like me who’s tall, rich and handsome, has skills, can cook, and came see right through a person’s thoughts, you definitely won’t find a second one in the entire world. So, you can cause trouble whenever and wherever you want. I can always help you clean up the mess.”

Ren Zhu expressionlessly thought, this person has gone through several lifetimes and yet still hasn’t fixed his narcissism and arrogance. Regardless of whether he was a chatterbox or the silent type, an elite or a nouveau riche, he was still a fucking bear. Oh, he was the same in bed, a beast.

The next two days passed very peacefully, but on the third day, Xuan Dao and the police both reported some bad news —

Li Yao had gone missing. Zhang Lian Fei and a guy called Zhu Hong Yun from their school had also disappeared. Zhang Lian Fei wasn’t a big problem, but that Zhu Hong Yun was the only son of the country’s big shipping tycoon.

Sitting on the sofa in Yi Xiao’s living room, Ren Zhu looked at the middle-aged couple who had accompanied Meng Xi Chun and a young elite police detective. He pretended not to see Pang Fei who was anxiously spinning circles around him.

“Master Yi! You must save our son! We only have this one child, but he was snatched away by an evil spirit! Currently, the police haven’t found a single clue. Everyone says that you’re the most powerful person in Xuan Dao. Please help us! I am willing to give you a fifth of my property as payment!”

The police detective’s eyes instantly widened in shock. A fifth of the shipping king’s property?! That should be at least a billion yuan!

However, Yi Xiao simply ignored him and pushed the fruit tray on the table towards Ren Zhu. He treated the money like it was dirt.

Meng Xi Chun quickly added: “Boss, you don’t have to care about the money, but we have received information that Li Yao was using the chaotic power of a five-coloured glass bead to capture people. Isn’t that the bead that you have always been looking for? So—”

Before Meng Xi Chun could finished speaking, Yi Xiao had already sat up and and was holding a silver talisman in his hand. Skilfully folding it a few times, it then turned into a paper crane that could move by itself.

The shipping couple: !!!

Yi Xiao took out another piece of paper and drew a circle on it.

The paper crane then flew down and sat motionless on the south east part of the circle.

In everyone’s looks of anticipation, Master Yi spat out: “South of the East China Sea.”

The shipping king: “Go go go! Hurry up and start my Roar of the Sea Dragon cruise ship!”

The author has something to say: In this world, souls can be bound together. In the future, the ML will slowly recall all his black history.

Master Yi: …… I’m definitely the most powerful one.

Ren Zhu: Hehe.
