1239 Yu Huang Is Si Cheng’s Mentor’s Fellow Disciple?
When Prime Emperor Taixu saw that Si Cheng, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, was actually wearing pink rabbit furry pajamas, his expression was a little mixed. Prime Emperor Taixu subconsciously put on an elder’s attitude and pretended to be stern as he lectured, “As the director of the Space Administration, you stay at home all day embroidering and even dress up like this… like this. Si Cheng, even if you don’t find it embarrassing, I’ll feel ashamed for you.”
Si Cheng didn’t feel embarrassed or angry at all after being lectured by his mentor.
Prime Emperor Si Cheng looked at Prime Emperor Taixu with resentment and actually revealed an aggrieved expression. Then, he lowered his eyes and said dejectedly, “In the past, I was also a good young man who paid attention to my image, but the woman I liked changed into a man in front of me. My first love died just like that and the person I loved is no longer around, so who cares about my appearance?” After saying that, Si Cheng deliberately asked Prime Emperor Taixu, “Don’t you think so, Mentor?”
Prime Emperor Taixu was extremely embarrassed when he heard this and thought of the things he had lied to Si Cheng about back then.
What happened back then was indeed Prime Emperor Taixu’s fault.
Prime Emperor Taixu was best at illusions. Although he was old, he had the mentality of a youngster.
The thing Prime Emperor Taixu liked to do the most was to dress up as a young man and mix in with the new students every time school started. He did this firstly to satisfy his perverted fetish, and secondly, to figure out the personalities of the new students.
It was precisely because of this hobby that Prime Emperor Taixu discovered Yin Mingjue’s potential and temperament. He even specifically asked the dean of the outer academy to take care of him and not let the students of the super Great Worlds bully him.
But the truth would always come out eventually.
The wily Prime Emperor Taixu actually suffered defeat at Prime Emperor Si Cheng’s hands.
Despite his old age, he had scammed Prime Emperor Si Cheng in terms of money and romantic feelings. When he realized that Si Cheng was sincerely in love with the illusory woman he conjured and realized that this matter couldn’t continue, he disappeared and resumed his original identity.
However, because of the previous incidents, Prime Emperor Taixu’s attitude towards Si Cheng changed. Perhaps it was out of helplessness and compensation, but Prime Emperor Taixu made an exception and took Si Cheng in as his only disciple.
In the beginning, Si Cheng treated him with respect and love, even more than he did towards his own parents.
However, as the two of them spent more and more time together, Si Cheng finally discovered the secret that Prime Emperor Taixu was hiding. After knowing that his mentor was his mysterious first love, Si Cheng’s attitude towards Prime Emperor Taixu instantly changed.
The more respectful Si Cheng treated Prime Emperor Taixu in the past, the more frivolous his current attitude seemed in comparison.
His disciple became resentful of him.
Because of these past events, Prime Emperor Taixu didn’t want to be alone with his disciple.
Because he felt guilty, he usually gave in to Si Cheng, but this aggrieved feeling made Prime Emperor Taixu feel vexed. “I have serious matters to ask you. Answer truthfully.” Prime Emperor Taixu decided to leave after telling him this.
However, Si Cheng said aloofly, “Do you dislike me that much?”
He stood up and walked to the tea room next door with his arms crossed. As he walked, he said, “Mentor, I have the best tea leaves in the world. Since you’re here today, you have to drink it.” However, he didn’t hear footsteps behind him.
Si Cheng turned around and narrowed his eyes as he stared at Prime Emperor Taixu with a smile and asked, “What? You don’t even have time to drink tea with me? Or do you feel uneasy when you see me?”
Prime Emperor Taixu was speechless.
Resentful bastard!
He snorted and took a few large strides to the tea room next door.
Prime Emperor Taixu sat down comfortably, as if he was in his own home.
Si Cheng stared at his back with a smile. Then, he walked to the display cabinet and took out a jar of tea leaves contained in a plain wooden box. As he brewed the tea, he asked in a low voice, “You’re usually quite busy and rarely leave Cang Lang Academy.”
Si Cheng tilted his head as he narrowed his eyes at Prime Emperor Taixu and asked, “What happened?”
Prime Emperor Taixu flipped through the magazine on Si Cheng’s table.
It was a famous gossip magazine in the cultivation world. Si Cheng loved gossip the most.
After Prime Emperor Taixu flipped through the magazine, he was shocked by the ridiculous stories inside. He closed the magazine and threw it aside in disdain before saying, “There was an incident during the freshman entrance test.”
Si Cheng nodded. “What exactly do you mean?” Si Cheng asked casually.
Prime Emperor Taixu said, “A new student called Yu Huang was kidnapped in the deep sea and locked in a replica world of the ancient era.” After a pause, Prime Emperor Taixu added with a serious expression, “And none of us sensed that power breaking in.”
Si Cheng put down the teacup in his hand.
He pondered for a moment and asked, “Yu Huang?”
“Yes.” Prime Emperor Taixu lowered his head and looked at the cover of the magazine, so he didn’t notice that Si Cheng’s expression was filled with concern and nervousness.
Si Cheng said thoughtfully, “How strong must someone be to be able to replicate a space-time?” At least, he couldn’t do it.
Si Cheng asked Prime Emperor Taixu, “Has Yu Huang been saved?” This was what he was most concerned about.
“She’s been saved.” Prime Emperor Taixu realized that Si Cheng seemed concerned about Yu Huang, so he asked him, “You noticed this student too?”
Because Yu Huang didn’t intend to reveal her true relationship with Jing Rujiu and Yin Mingjue to the world for the time being, Si Cheng couldn’t tell anyone, even if this person was his beloved mentor. Si Cheng said, “It’s difficult for anyone who has watched the intercontinental finals to not pay attention to that child.”
Prime Emperor Taixu smiled. “That’s true. She awakened a Divine Feather Phoenix, and I heard from Professor Cheng that she has many other beast forms.”
“Yes, she’s the biggest surprise during this round of intercontinental finals.” Si Cheng wasn’t stingy with his praise for Yu Huang.
Nodding his head, Prime Emperor Taixu also praised, “She’s very outstanding. During the assessment before she entered the academy, she even obtained the recognition of Prime Emperor Divine Miracle.” At this point, Prime Emperor Taixu blinked at Si Cheng and said, “According to seniority, Yu Huang can be considered your mentor’s fellow disciple.”
Si Cheng was speechless.
He refused.
Si Cheng looked at Prime Emperor Taixu with a faint smile as he said, “Don’t even think about me calling her that. However, you can call her Little Junior Sister.”
Prime Emperor Taixu was stunned. After understanding the deeper meaning behind Si Cheng’s words, Prime Emperor Taixu avoided his gaze again.
Fortunately, Si Cheng didn’t continue to discuss this topic. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “How did you save Yu Huang?”
“We have to thank her husband, that kid called Sheng Xiao.” Prime Emperor Taixu told Si Cheng about how Sheng Xiao had the Reincarnation Mirror and successfully asked Master Duan Fen to help repair the Space-Time Mirror, then traveled through time to save Yu Huang.
