7 To Accept or Not to Accept
“Greetings, Instructor Yu Xuan.”
Yan Meng’er politely bowed. In her previous life, she had a very good relationship with Instructor Yu Xuan. After being reborn and meeting again, naturally there was no unfamiliarity.
“My name is Yan Meng’er, sixteen years old this year, a 2-star Mystic Scholar.”
Instructor Yu Xuan was also very familiar with Yan Meng’er. After all, in her previous life, she was one of her proud disciples. This girl’s talent wasn’t bad, but her mind wasn’t entirely on cultivation and needed her frequent supervision.
However, in her previous life at this time, Yan Meng’er should have only been a 1-star Mystic Scholar, quite a bit away from 2-star. How did she become stronger after being reborn?
Could there be some unpredictable changes in the grand scheme of things…
It had been over a month since she awakened her memories from her previous life, and this was the first time she encountered a development that didn’t match her previous life. She immediately made a mental note of it.
“A sixteen-year-old 2-star Mystic Scholar, a promising talent. You can cultivate under me along with Ruyu.”
Yan Meng’er immediately bowed. “Thank you, Instructor Yu Xuan~ I definitely won’t let you down and will work hard in cultivation.”
Instructor Yu Xuan finally looked at Yan Zhen. Her gentle eyes blinked as she carefully examined his appearance. It seemed like a different emotion was brewing in her pupils.
She had always only accepted female students as disciples. Only when she saw Yan Zhen did she couldn’t help but make an exception, because his talent was simply too good. Even in the Sacred Land Academy where geniuses gathered, he could shine brilliantly.
Yan Zhen was the first male disciple she accepted, and also a disciple she once regretted accepting.
If she hadn’t accepted him as a disciple back then, she wouldn’t have developed feelings for him over time. But considering their teacher-student relationship, she didn’t dare to take the forbidden step and could only bury those feelings deep in her heart.
Fortunately, she wasn’t one of those inexperienced and naive young girls. As time passed, she slowly let go of her longing for him. When he got married, she completely cut off her feelings and sent her sincere blessings as his instructor.
Everything had passed.
It should have been like this.
But now, reliving a second life and seeing Yan Zhen’s handsome face that still carried a bit of immaturity, Instructor Yu Xuan’s heart that had been sealed for many years seemed to stir again.
–Could it be that I haven’t let go yet? How could that be? I no longer have the same heart-pounding feeling for him as back then.
While Instructor Yu Xuan was looking at Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen was also looking at her.
Different from the coldness of his beautiful master, Instructor Yu Xuan’s temperament was gentle, her brows and eyes mild. When she smiled slightly, it made people feel like a warm breeze. That mature charm tempered by the years was like rich wine. Just a little taste left an endless aftertaste.
She wasn’t as devastatingly beautiful as his master, but her skin had a naturally moist and glossy texture, and her figure was not much inferior.
Her breasts were full, her jade-like buttocks plump. The waist between the two was not as thin as a young girl’s. It had just the right amount of flesh that slightly adhered to her clothes, without any excess fat. One could imagine how intoxicating it would be to have one’s arms around her.
To describe Instructor Yu Xuan with a more modern term, she was a “slightly chubby goddess”.
The two quietly gazed at each other for a long time without looking away.
“Instructor Yu Xuan?”
Yan Ruyu’s voice woke up the distracted Instructor Yu Xuan. The latter reacted and hurriedly pretended to clear her throat, saying to Yan Zhen, “What’s your name?”
Becoming Instructor Yu Xuan’s disciple was a very important plot point, so Yan Zhen didn’t dare to be negligent. He lifted his spirits to the fullest and recited his lines.
“In response to the instructor, my name is Yan Zhen, sixteen years old this year, a 5-star Mystic Scholar.”
Even though this was the second time Instructor Yu Xuan heard this result, she couldn’t help but be amazed.
Although in the Sacred Land Academy, there were many people who had the cultivation of a 5-star Mystic Scholar at the age of sixteen, she was very clear that Yan Zhen’s situation was special. He had a three-year gap in cultivation. In fact, he had soared from the 3rd level of Mystic Disciple to 5-star Mystic Scholar in less than a year.
No, this was just a small matter now. Yan Zhen’s future performance would be even more incredible.
So it was understandable for her to make an exception back then.
But now… should she still accept him as a disciple?
To be honest, after accepting Yan Zhen as a disciple in her previous life, she didn’t guide him much in cultivation.
Every once in a while, Yan Zhen would advance a star as if it was a matter of course. The cultivation plan she prepared was basically useless.
If she didn’t accept him, could she avoid being attracted to him again?
But she should have already let go, right? Even if she accepted him, it shouldn’t affect anything.
Just as Instructor Yu Xuan was pondering, a female student suddenly walked in. “Instructor Yu Xuan, I brought a talented person to you, hoping you can accept him as a disciple.”
This girl was another disciple of Instructor Yu Xuan, the eldest daughter of Silver Moon City’s largest family, the Xiao family, Xiao Xinyan, nineteen years old, a 6-star Mystic Scholar.
Xiao Xinyan had a good figure and a sweet appearance, but she was slightly inferior to Mi Xue’er and Yan Ruyu in all aspects. She couldn’t be rated as a campus belle. However, her cultivation was a bit higher than the two girls, so she always loved to sarcastically say that they were “only good-looking, not useful”.
Behind her followed a tall and sturdy young man around seventeen or eighteen years old. He had an honest face, but his squinty eyes were sly. As soon as he entered, his gaze quickly swept over the four girls in the tent, only skipping Yan Zhen. He was obviously a closet pervert.
If Yan Zhen didn’t have the script in hand, he would have had a hard time discovering this point.
After Xiao Xinyan saw the situation in the tent, she quickly understood and sneered, “Mi Xue’er, Yan Ruyu, you also brought someone? Don’t bring some crooked melons and cracked dates to make things difficult for Instructor Yu Xuan.”
However, contrary to Xiao Xinyan’s expectation, Mi Xue’er, who usually didn’t get along with her, didn’t retort this time. Instead, she had the demeanor of watching a show while eating melons, her eyes staring at her in a rather strange manner.
–There was a mentality called “the ease of a reincarnator”.
It was Yan Ruyu who, upon hearing the words “crooked melons and cracked dates”, frowned and sarcastically said, “Who’s a crooked melon and cracked date? Why don’t you look in the mirror?”
Just in terms of appearance, their side was crushing in both males and females.
Xiao Xinyan’s eyes widened, about to flare up. Instructor Yu Xuan spoke up in time, “Xinyan, who’s the one behind you?”
Xiao Xinyan put on a smiling face and introduced, “Instructor Yu Xuan, he’s my cousin, Xiao Shi, just turned seventeen this year, but his cultivation is already at 4-star Mystic Scholar. He didn’t rely on any external force and cultivated by himself. He’s a rare talent. If you accept him as a disciple, he definitely won’t lose face for you!”
“Greetings, Instructor.”
Xiao Shi had a restrained appearance, but the few reborn girls were very clear about his lewd true face. It was Yan Zhen who exposed him in time, and the victim was Xiao Xinyan herself.
Instructor Yu Xuan patiently said, “Xinyan, you should know my rule of not accepting males as disciples. His talent isn’t enough for me to make an exception.”
Xiao Xinyan was stunned. “A seventeen-year-old 4-star Mystic Scholar isn’t enough? There aren’t many in the academy’s hundred-year history.”
Instructor Yu Xuan shook her head. “It would have been enough originally, but now it’s not enough…”
“Why?”
“Because of him.”
Instructor Yu Xuan looked at Yan Zhen again. Xiao Xinyan and Xiao Shi also turned to look at him together.
“…”
Hearing the task notification sound beside his ear, Yan Zhen couldn’t help but complain inwardly: The protagonist of a carefree novel is really either showing off or on the way to show off. Showing off twice during the meal wasn’t enough, and now it’s here again.
–Then let’s have a little show!
