(3 more updates) “You…
you’re leaving?”
Yongshi Deng suddenly stood up, her bright eyes focusing intently on Ling Feng.
She had once dread of driving this “damn” rascal away, but now, when Ling Feng spoke of his departure, her heart was filled with a sense of loss.
“Why?” Yongshi Deng bit her lip, her eyes reddening, “I had just started to accept you as my teacher!
You…
you don’t want anymore?”
“Because you have changed, and my mission here is also completed,” Ling Feng smiled lightly.
“You know, I am just an ordinary student of the Heavenly Position Academy, and I need to return there to continue my studies.”
Ling Feng did not expect such a strong reaction from Yongshi Deng, and he pushed her back down into her chair, “These three days were only my vacation, and now that it’s over, I must return to the Heavenly Position Academy.”
Only then did Yongshi Deng realize her own inappropriate behavior, her face heating up slightly.
She looked up at Ling Feng sowhat shyly, and through gritted teeth asked, “Then…
will you co back to teach again?”
“If I have ti, I will,” Ling Feng nodded.
“After all, you are my first student.”
Yongshi Deng pouted, and upon hearing that Ling Feng would return, her heart slightly relaxed.
Yet, she couldn’t help but curiously ask, “But as an A-class Disciple of the Heavenly Position Academy, shouldn’t you be able to freely manage your own ti?”
“But I am just a Yellow Character Disciple,” Ling Feng answered with a smile.
“Yellow Character Disciple?” Yongshi Deng’s eyes widened as she swallowed hard.
When had the Yellow Character Disciples of the Heavenly Position Academy beco so “abnormally talented”!
“Yes, I am just a Yellow Character Disciple,” Ling Feng pursed his lips, his expression indifferent.
Yongshi Deng bit her tender lip and fell silent for a long while before she finally said, “You really are a monster!”
Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile, “Before I leave, I want to remind you about the stones in the backyard; they are still there.
The next ti I co back, I hope you can build them into qualified pillars.”
“Hmph!” Yongshi Deng snorted.
She wanted to say she would never continue with it, but instead, she ended up saying, “I know, enough with the nagging!”
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, took a deep breath, and finally broached the real topic.
“One last thing,” Ling Feng coughed lightly.
“The real reason I ca to the General Mansion wasn’t actually to beco your teacher, but it was for the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.”
Ling Feng stared into Yongshi Deng’s eyes, feeling sowhat faint-hearted as he slowly continued, “I heard from Elder Deng that he gave it to you as a birthday gift.
This Crystal Core is very important to , so I hope you can…”
“So, you approached just to get your hands on the Demon Mirage Crystal Core?” Yongshi Deng’s expression changed slightly, her voice tight with anger.
“Partly,” Ling Feng replied candidly.
“The other reason was at Elder Deng’s request.
Before that, my feelings towards you were just…
not dislike.”
“You jerk, can’t you just say sothing sweet to appease ?”
Yongshi’s anger dissipated, and she glared at Ling Feng, sowhat helplessly saying, “Alright, since you didn’t lie to , I’ll give you the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.
But consider it my tuition, and if you dare take the Crystal Core and never co back, I’ll go to your Heavenly Position Academy and expose you for deceiving a naive girl!”
“Pfft…” Ling Feng almost spat out blood at her words, only managing a forced smile, “No, no…”
“Hmph!” Yongshi Deng glared at Ling Feng, a hint of crimson appearing on her face as she fiddled with a thin red string around her neck, slowly pulling it up.
At the end of the string was a jade-like white Crystal Stone—the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.
So it turned out, Yongshi Deng had always been wearing the Demon Mirage Crystal Core, even keeping it in such a close position on her chest.
Ling Feng involuntarily glanced at Yongshi’s chest and his old face turned red as he quickly shifted his gaze.
“Here, it’s for you.” Yongshi placed the Demon Mirage Crystal Core in Ling Feng’s palm and said through clenched teeth, “I’ve had this crystal core for five years, and now I’m giving it to you.”
“Thank you, Miss Deng.” Ling Feng gripped the crystal core, feeling the lingering warmth and a faint fragrance on it, which clearly belonged to Yongshi.
“Hmph!” Yongshi glared at Ling Feng, sowhat surprised at how generous she had been in giving the Demon Mirage Crystal Core away.
Or perhaps it was because when she looked into Ling Feng’s eyes, she just didn’t know how to refuse.
“Okay, now that you have it, are you going to leave?” Yongshi watched Ling Feng eagerly, probing.
“Uh…” Ling Feng felt a bit guilty because he really was planning to leave right away.
“Ah, why would I?” Ling Feng said, trying to sound casual, “There’s still so ti before dusk, if you don’t mind, let’s continue yesterday’s training.”
“No objections!” Yongshi didn’t even think before nodding, “Let’s go then!”
Ling Feng nodded, “Good, if you can keep up this attitude in cultivation, your grandfather will surely be proud of you one day!”
“Like you need to tell that, of course, he will be!”
…
Ling Feng watched Yongshi stack the stone pillars until sunset, and then he bid farewell to General Deng and Yongshi, leaving the General Mansion.
Though many things had happened in these three days, he had finally gotten the Demon Mirage Crystal Core.
He had no idea how the progress on the Demon Transformation Elixir Recipe was going with Yan Cangtian.
“Ling Feng, my young friend, co visit us often!”
At the gate of the General Mansion, General Deng patted Ling Feng’s shoulder vigorously and laughed, “See, I told you you could handle Shi, didn’t I?
In just a few days, Shi has changed completely.”
“Miss Deng is naturally kind-hearted, I just helped her understand so things,” Ling Feng lightly smiled and bowed to General Deng, “Then I shall take my leave.”
“Ah, go ahead.
Oh, and don’t forget to give my regards to Yan Cangtian.” General Deng stroked his beard and smiled gently.
“I’ll rember,” Ling Feng nodded and then looked at Yongshi, saying warmly, “Thank you for the gift, Miss Deng.”
“Hmph, I didn’t want your thanks.” Yongshi bit her delicate lip and muttered softly, “Mr.
Ling, you…
rember to co back and see and Grandpa!”
“So you’re finally willing to call ‘teacher’?” Ling Feng said with an easy smile, nodding emphatically, “I will!”
With that, Ling Feng executed his movent technique, vanished in a flash, disappearing from sight after a few bounds.
Seeing Ling Feng’s figure disappearing, tears uncontrollably fell from Yongshi’s eyes, as she couldn’t hold them back anymore.
“You silly girl, when he arrived, you kept telling him to leave, and now that he’s gone, you’re crying.
What, has my precious granddaughter fallen for that rascal?” General Deng teased with a smile.
“That’s not it!” Yongshi furiously wiped the tears from her eyes, “I’m happy, that annoying rascal has finally left!
This is just tears of joy!”
General Deng squinted his eyes, smiling and raised his hand to pat the back of Yongshi’s head, “Alright, alright, these young people’s affairs, Grandpa can’t manage!”
Yongshi pouted, finding herself a little confused.
She was supposed to really dislike that guy, wasn’t she…?
