Chapter 799: An Enthusiastic Reunion Between a Teacher and His Student


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <i></i><strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    On his way to the Ministry of Works, Ren Baqian suddenly heard a familiar sound. It was as if the air was being shed.


    Ren Baqian was very familiar with this sound.


    This applied to both the tune and the musical instrument.


    “Pomp and Circumstance.”


    yed on an erhu.


    Ren Baqian was momentarily stunned as besides himself, there was only one other person in this world who knew how to y this kind of music.


    Looking in the direction that the music wasing from, he saw a restaurant with its second floor window open.


    Before he could get close, he heard catcallsing from that window.


    “What kind of sound is that? It sounds very unpleasant!”


    Ren Baqian’s face turned ck. This was a criticism of something he was passionate about.


    To be fair, the music was not bad. The jumping notes were like hopping elves, and the sound was only slightly worsepared to when he yed. The person who made thatment was either stupid or malicious.


    Ren Baqian didn’t go in through the front door. In a sh, he barged in from the window.


    <em>Dong!</em>


    The erhu was ying a stato when it suddenly stopped.


    This was because the musician had been knocked down by Ren Baqian…


    Ren Baqian felt his knees hitting something and looked down to see a girl lying on the floor.


    “Even though it sounded bad, there was no need to hit her.” The people who denounced the music earlier were now rebuking Ren Baqian. The little girl looked weak and puny, so this kick (it looked like a kick to the crowd) wasn’t well received.


    Although this girl wasn’t an aboriginal, there were many people from the Jing Tribe in Lan City and the aboriginals disyed a surprising sense of justice.


    “This is too much!”


    “Isn’t he the principal of ck Bamboo Academy?”


    “The principal of the academy shouldn’t beat others up. Furthermore, she is a little girl.”


    Ren Baqian didn’t know whether tough or to cry. This was an ident. He identally kicked her as he jumped in.


    It was definitely not intentional.


    It was due to his efforts that the people of the Jing Tribe were able to live in Lan City.


    Then again, why was she ying the erhu on the other side of the window.


    On the ground was his only disciple, Zhan Caixian.


    One of her hands was holding her head while the other was holding the erhu. Her eyes were brimming with tears that were about to fall, but she held back for a long time before weakly calling out, “Master!”


    She had been waiting for a very long time and had learned about Ren Baqian’s habits when in Lan City. After she found out that Ren Baqian wasing back, she came here specifically to wait for him.


    She wasn’t able to station herself near the academy, but Ren Baqian often visited the Ministry of Works, so she prepared to wait here for him for a few days. She didn’t expect to meet him on the first day or to receive such an enthusiastic wee from her master… kneeing her in the body!


    “It was an ident…” Ren Baqian was embarrassed. He pulled her up with his hands and rubbed her head a few times as if coaxing a child.


    “Does it still hurt?”


    “It hurts!” Zhan Caixian couldn’t bear it anymore and let her tears fall.


    Ren Baqian was at a loss. Those who didn’t know the situation would think the worst.


    “You are such a big girl, yet you are crying like a baby!” Ren Baqian chastised her.


    Zhan Caixian hugged the erhu and said while sobbing, “You kicked me!”


    Ren Baqian turned to look at the five or six hunks that sat there and watched this scene. This group of people understood the situation after hearing these words. After all, even the weakest among them was at the Man Wheel level, and their eyes and ears were sharp.


    The aboriginals were straightforward, but not deaf.


    “This is a reunion of master and student and also an ident.” Ren Baqian cupped his hands,


    “Our respects to Principal Ren.” When some people stood up and cupped their hands, the rest also stood up. After all, he was the husband of the empress and should be given some respect.


    Moreover, the reputation of ck Bamboo Academy was quite high now.


    They did not have much respect for schrs, but they were very respectful toward schrly warriors.


    Ren Baqian was victorious against a Cardinal Heaven expertst year and threw a big bomb at the end. This gained him much respect from the aboriginals.


    Ren Baqian was in no hurry to go to the ministry. He seated her on a chair and observed her while letting her cry. After two years, she had grown up.


    She was a little green before, but now, she was as bright as a polished gem.


    There were many beautiful women, but she had preserved her innocence. It was hard to find someone as pure and sincere as her.


    If there was another such person, it would be the third most powerful expert in the world, Li Yuanzhu, whom he had met before.


    That Daoist priestess gave him the impression of being pure, butpared to Zhan Caixian, she was steadier, more profound, and unfathomable.


    Besides looking pure, Zhan Caixian appeared as fragile as a flower that needed plenty of care.


    He carefully estimated her strength to be at the Man Wheel level, but this wasn’t enough for her to travel safely to Lan City. Some other people should have apanied her.


    After a quarter of an hour, she finally stopped sobbing, and her face was full of red patches.


    There was a big bump on her forehead.


    Ren Baqian got one of his guards to apply some ck mud cream to this contusion, and it should disappear shortly.


    However, putting this ck paste on ady like her was like putting on a piece of dog-skin ster.


    “Does it still hurt?” Ren Baqian asked Zhan Caixian casually after she had calmed down. She was a big girl now and should be about 18 years old. Fancy her crying and snivelling just because of bump on her forehead.


    Still, he weighed over 150 kilograms and the added force of his momentum from jumping up…


    Okay, she was forgiven.


    “It hurts!” Zhan Caixian said without hesitation.


    Ren Baqian felt like he was asking for it. Why did he mention this?


    “Why did youe here?”


    This time, Zhan Caixian could reply normally and answered, “Master is getting married! Many people wanted to send you gifts, so I followed them here…”


    Ren Baqian was rather surprised to learn that there were people bearing gifts for him.


    However, he felt that it was only natural after thinking about it.


    After all, he was still remotely controlling the Rearguard Commandery. Plus, the survival of the Jing Tribe was mainly due to him.


    It was only right for them to send him gifts.


    Ren Baqian didn’t have the idea that he did his duties honorably and didn’t ept bribes.


    This was gratitude!


    However, he was surprised that his disciple wanted to see him.


    ‘Did your mothere?” Ren Baqian remembered that her father was still in the Yun Nation catching rebels, so she could only follow her mother here.


    Unexpectedly, Zhan Caixian shook her head and replied, “Uncle Zhu apanied me here.”


    She exined, “He is the uncle staying at our house. He’s an Earth Wheel expert now and can apany me. Although my mother wanted toe, she couldn’t make it. We came in a caravan with about 100 people and didn’t meet with any danger.”


    “How long have you been here?” Ren Baqian asked with augh. His wedding was supposed to take ce in the third month, but it was the end of the ninth month now.


    “It has been half a year… We heard that you and the empress went to the mountains and that the wedding was dyed, so we stayed here.”
