"Bibi Dong, explain yourself! What exactly happened between you and Teacher Su back then?"
"I thought about it all night, tossing and turning, and after much deliberation, I could only read two words from your actions: man-eater!"
"Teacher Su usually keeps his distance even from me, as if he doesn't understand romance, but with you, there seemed to be no barrier; you chatted and laughed freely. Did you perhaps… do something to Teacher Su?"
As the morning sun rose from the east, casting a faint glow over the academy, and before morning lessons had even begun, the beautiful and graceful Qian Renxue knocked on the door of Taoyou Pavilion.
However, there was no response from inside. Qian Renxue gently pushed, and the door opened.
Her golden eyes scanned the room, only to find it empty, clean, and tidy, as if no one had ever lived there.
Qian Renxue was startled. Usually, at this time, Bibi Dong would be getting up to wash and prepare to go to the school building to prepare lessons and study with the other Disciples.
But now, Bibi Dong was gone, leaving only a letter on the dressing table.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but walk over and open it. Inside were two pieces of paper, and she began to read them silently.
Clang~
Upon reaching the end, Qian Renxue's face was extremely pale, and a rush of blood filled her head. As if struck by a massive blow, she collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
…
[Dear Teacher Su: Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. Although that incident was an accident, I am very fortunate to have received Teacher Su's approval, allowing me to spend a happy time at Peach Garden Academy. In such a short time, I have learned so much from Teacher Su…
It is regrettable that perhaps I am not like Teacher Su and am temporarily unable to become an excellent teacher. Perhaps I also cannot abandon the authority of the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Please forgive my unannounced departure. By the time Teacher Su sees this letter, perhaps I will have already returned to Spirit City…]
Teacher Su Ran, who was usually calm, held the letter in his hand and silently read it aloud.
Anyone who had been close to him for a long time would have noticed that Teacher Su Ran's voice was trembling slightly, and his eyes instantly dimmed.
Loss.
This was Teacher Su Ran's feeling of loss.
Even when Su Ran had failed to take a Disciple in the past, he had never been so lost.
Bibi Dong, you bad woman! You deceived our Teacher Su's heart!
Su Ran had already tried to persuade the Supreme Pontiff once, and that was a decision he had made with resolve.
But a sense of disappointment lingered in Su Ran's heart.
You can never keep a woman who wants to leave.
Could it be that my charm has a problem?
Su Ran couldn't help but touch his face.
This problem was so severe that it made him question his own appearance!
"Teacher Su, what was 'that incident' mentioned in the farewell letter? You two…?"
Noticing the change in Teacher Su's expression, Qian Renxue, who had personally handed the first of the two letter pages to Teacher Su, found her golden pupils no longer sparkling, but dim! She couldn't help but ask for confirmation again.
"Sigh~"
"I originally intended to announce this matter to everyone once Teacher Dong became familiar with the academy's environment and the timing was right. However, since Teacher Dong still chose to leave, there's no need to mention it now."
Su Ran sighed, feeling his body weaken slightly, as if something had been lost.
Although Su Ran didn't answer, Qian Renxue had already received the answer from Teacher Su's attitude. All the answers were hidden on this second piece of paper!
Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly, as if her brain had been violently struck, almost causing her to faint.
While she was still excited about enrolling in Peach Garden Academy, being able to study freely with so many excellent students, and looking forward to learning and developing with such a world-renowned teacher, cultivating affection, and having a beautiful love story between teacher and husband…
It turned out that her beautiful mother, who had been lonely for twenty or thirty years, had actually pulled her immortal-like, peerlessly beautiful, and pure Righteous Path teacher into a 'flood release'!
And then she got pregnant!
How could she accept this?!
This blow to Qian Renxue was the greatest in her life, almost making her unable to bear it!
Bibi Dong! You made me lose my love!
"Teacher Su, a month ago, you asked me to consider which Cultivation Dao to choose, and I haven't been able to reach a conclusion."
"Now, I can make my choice."
"The path of a Spirit Master, the inheritance of a divine trial, both seek strength, greater strength. Since the path of the Fallen Angel is more powerful than the Holy Angel, I choose to Cultivate the darkness — the Twelve-Winged Sin-Punishing Fallen Angel!"
"I believe I can learn it very well now!"
Qian Renxue suddenly said to Su Ran with determination.
Su Ran was still immersed in the sadness of the Supreme Pontiff's unannounced departure. Hearing Qian Renxue make a Cultivation decision at this moment, he was somewhat surprised:
"Are you sure? This path is destined to be more arduous than the Holy path, and even requires sacrificing a lot."
"Yes, I'm ready."
Qian Renxue nodded resolutely.
Certainty, decisiveness!
Could it be that this girl already understands what happened between me and Teacher Dong?
It's fine if she understands.
"Since that's the case, once you begin to Cultivate, you must move forward without hesitation to reach the other shore, do you understand?"
"This Disciple understands!"
"This is the Cultivation Technique of the Twelve-Winged Sin-Punishing Fallen Angel. It needs to be combined with this immortal-devil grade flower, named: One Thought Divine Demon Twin Flowers."
Su Ran handed a black and white Secret Manual of fallen arts to Qian Renxue, gently tapping her forehead with his fingertip, introducing the Qi of fall.
Then, he took out a precious jade box from his spirit tool. When it opened, a mixed black and white spirit power aura rushed out.
After the mist dispersed, the single stalk with twin flowers was revealed inside.
It was a flower with roots intertwined in black and white. The top of the white stem converged into a Holy Flower composed of lush golden-white angel wings, with a bright angel at its pistil.
And the tip of the black stem was deep, dark angel wings, exuding a fallen, terrifying aura, with dark red patterns forming the image of a Fallen Angel in the center of the pistil.
The two flowers' auras intertwined, mutually generating and restraining each other, yet able to coexist on a single stalk. The aura they emitted was the Peak among flowers, even higher in quality than the Yearning Heartbroken Red in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It was probably close to a sub-Divine Grade, and it was also the highest quality among all the flowers and plants Su Ran currently possessed.
This was Su Ran's reward to Qian Renxue.
You helped me achieve a Breakthrough in my mental state, and I grant you the Dao of Cultivation and Spirit transformation.
"This One Thought Divine Demon, combined with the Cultivation Technique and your talent, can allow you to enter the Dao faster than other students. But remember, before your Fallen Wings shed their feathers and Rebirth into four or more wings, you can only use it to assist your Cultivation. Only when you reach four or six or more Fallen Wings can you consume it, especially the Fallen Demonic Flower within it."
"Otherwise, if too much fallen Qi is instantly poured into your Spirit, it will clash with your inherent Holy Qi, and your Spirit might not be able to withstand it."
"If you encounter any difficulties or problems, stop Cultivating and wait for me to resolve them before continuing. You must not be careless, understand?"
Su Ran meticulously instructed her.
Hearing Teacher Su's well-organized and caring guidance, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little guilty.
Should I tell Teacher Su the truth? That woman, she might have…
No, I can't. If Teacher Su knew, would I… would I truly have no chance at all?
Bibi Dong won't go offline so easily. The Offering Hall storyline with Qian Renxue will come out soon. Raise your own child.
