Chapter 719 Returning Home
After hearing Yu Cang's words, Cheng Mingye looked a little strange.
This is a troublesome matter.
In the detention center, every newcomer needs to have his or her own teacher, who is responsible for teaching the newcomers knowledge and is also their caretaker.
Once someone is caught with a card ban, they can no longer be considered normal. The Institution is both a research institution and a prison for card banners. Teachers are their jailers, constantly monitoring their mental and physical well-being. If they detect any problems, they must take immediate action.
From what Yu Cang meant, he wanted Wen Yang to not take anyone as his teacher, but to study Madam Yu's legacy on his own.
Then, he registered it under his own name, and was not responsible for imparting knowledge, but only for being a "jailer".
In other words, he is "teaching on behalf of others".
This is undoubtedly more troublesome.
But... since Yu Cang dared to say it without asking him first, he must have believed that he had no way to refuse.
This is indeed the case.
Cheng Mingye looked at the two soul cards that Yu Cang gave to Wen Yang. The strange look in his eyes faded away and was replaced by a smile.
He was quite curious about Mrs. Yu's research.
Obviously, I have to agree to this job in order to get a glimpse of the results of this old friend... Well, it's worth it.
So, he nodded gently and said, "Hello, young man, my name is Cheng Mingye, your teacher... can be considered as my old friend. For Yu Cang's sake, I can take care of her apprentice on my old friend's behalf."
Yu Cang looked at Wen Yang: "Are you still worried? Tell me now."
Wen Yang was silent for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath, raised his hand solemnly, and took the soul card handed to him by Yu Cang.
"Thank you, Yu Cang—I'll do my best."
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Yu Cang's face.
Cheng Mingye, who was standing by, said at this moment: "Wen Yang - although I am taking care of you for that guy Yu Wanqing, you still have to call me teacher."
"Teacher..." Wen Yang hesitated for a moment, "But my last two teachers didn't end up well. Maybe I'm a bit of a teacher bad luck..."
Cheng Mingye smiled lightly: "Don't worry - their horoscopes are not as strong as mine."
…
Yu Cang tried to invite Cheng Mingye to his home again, but he still refused.
So, Yu Cang didn't insist anymore and turned around and left.
After going to the association and handing over to Di Chang'an, he left the True Dragon's Death Place directly - when Yu Cang went to find Madam Yu and the Supreme Bishop, Ren Zheng and Yu Cang's parents had already returned to the ancient capital.
Logically speaking, what Yu Shuhong and Ren Zheng did in the Youhuang Heaven Realm was a bit ambiguous and would definitely be carefully questioned by the association, but because Yu Cang and Ren Zheng were there, no one would be so blind as to come and disturb them at this time.
It's getting late.
In just one day, this mythical secret place known to everyone on Blue Star has become history.
Yu Cang returned to the ancient capital and took a taxi.
After the fierce battle, Yu Cang's mood had calmed down. He looked at the dimly lit city outside the car window, and a strong emotion surged in his heart.
Yu Cang couldn't describe this emotion, he only knew that it was because he was on his way home.
After more than five years, he could finally...truly go home.
The light and shadow of the city kept passing through the taxi window and reflected in Yu Cang's eyes. At this moment, the memories of the past also flashed before his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
That’s great.
He couldn't help but think so.
Wasn't all his struggles for moments like this?
Or perhaps, this kind of moment is the meaning of struggle.
Beside him, Qi'er opened her eyes wide and stared at Yu Cang's profile without blinking.
She also sensed Yu Cang's mood, the emotions in it were strange yet warm.
She couldn't help but move closer and hugged Yu Cang's arm.
Bro...I'm so happy for you.
…
As the taxi drove on, the strange feeling of anticipation in Yu Cang's heart became stronger and stronger. At a certain moment -
laugh.
The car stopped, and the lights and shadows of the city paused in front of his eyes. Only then did Yu Cang come back to his senses.
We’ve arrived—Yu Cang’s card-making house.
After paying the fare, Yu Cang got out of the car and stood at the door. He tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and calm himself down.
He knew that after opening the door, he would be able to see the scene he had been longing for for the past five years.
However, the more he thought about it, the more Yu Cang's mood became restless. He was even a little scared, afraid that all this was just a dream, and after he pushed open the door, everything would disappear like a mirage, and he would wake up in front of the work table in the card-making room with a dejected look on his face.
He stretched out his hand, but hesitated to push the door.
And just at this moment——
Ding-a-ling...
The door of the card-making room was opened from the inside, and the door rang the hanging bell, making a crisp sound.
"Why are you standing there?"
Mu Xuezhi had a smile on her face as she looked at Yu Cang, who was a little flustered.
The first floor was closed, with only a small light on. The bright light spread behind her, making even the dust particles clearly visible.
"I saw you from a distance...why don't you come in?"
Hearing this, Yu Cang's eyes trembled slightly, and the tension in his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Um...Mom, I'm back."
Only relatives would always listen to the sound of cars outside the window and guess the identity of the people coming.
A smile appeared on Yu Cang's lips. He followed Mu Xuezhi into the house. The cheerful sounds on the second floor gradually became clearer and enveloped him. When he climbed the stairs and entered the light on the second floor, he finally saw the scene he had dreamed of.
Ren Zheng was preparing food in the kitchen, while Yu Shuhong was cleaning the outer room with a mop. I don't know what soul card he used, but a broom appeared in the air and swept all the way, and he followed behind the broom to mop the floor. The dust that was raised was completely absorbed by the broom, and not a bit flew into the air.
On the side, Gu Jieshuang was fully armed, wearing an apron and rubber gloves, in a combat posture, and was also cleaning each room.
Judging from the look in her eyes, it was just like that during the battle.
After all, this is the first time I perform in front of my uncles and aunts, so I must take it seriously!
It has indeed been a long time since anyone has been in the card-making room.
After the National College League, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang had been practicing in Tianmen, and then went directly to the Changsheng Tent. After returning, they did not go home and went to deal with the True Dragon's Death Place.
Because the laboratory was becoming increasingly busy, Lin Yunqing had no time to help run the store. As a result, no one had been to the card-making house for more than a month, and a lot of dust had accumulated, and the ingredients were all gone.
It just so happened that after coming back, some people went shopping for groceries, and some people went cleaning. At least there was something to do, otherwise Gu Jieshuang would definitely be embarrassed to death.
Yu Cang smiled knowingly.
Before he could say anything, a soul card suddenly opened beside him, and the Weeping Girl and her army of little dolls immediately rushed out chattering and snatched the broom and mop from Yu Shuhong's hands.
The weeping lady's face was serious: "You should take a rest first. Leave this kind of chores to us!"
"Master is so handsome!"
“So handsome!”
"The master's father is so handsome too!"
"Master's mother is so beautiful..."
“Hehehe…”
The little doll was chattering, but its hands were still very skillful. After grabbing the tools, it immediately plunged into the cleaning task.
Yu Shuhong's hands were empty, and his eyes were slightly blank, but then quickly replaced by curiosity: "Xiao Cang... Is this your achievement related to the Creation Clan?"
"Yeah, that's right." Yu Cang nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "You guys go and rest... Old Man Ren, stop working, let me do it."
Hearing this, before Ren Zheng in the kitchen could say anything, Mu Xuezhi beside Yu Cang patted Yu Cang's head lightly and said angrily:
"Xiao Cang, how can you talk like that? It's so rude."
Yu Cang, who was about to enter the kitchen, was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.
"Uh...Grandpa Ren!"
It was only after his parents disappeared that he started calling him "Old Man Ren Zheng".
On the one hand, it is indeed blaming Ren Zheng for not providing timely rescue.
On the other hand... Yu Cang knew that if he didn't react at all and acted calmly, Ren Zheng would definitely feel even more guilty.
Over time, "Old Man Ren" has become an indelible nickname.
If it were five years ago, Ren Zheng, as a teacher respected by his parents, would definitely be severely punished if Yu Cang kept referring to him as an old man.
Now that he changed his words, not to mention Yu Cang, even Ren Zheng felt quite uncomfortable for a moment.
Ren Zheng had a smile on his face, but his hands did not stop moving.
Yu Cang had already squeezed into the kitchen and pushed Ren Zheng out: "Okay, Ren...Grandpa Ren, let me do this."
These three words are so awkward no matter how you say them...
Damn, how did he say that when he was a kid? Quickly recall...
Ren Zheng's smile never stopped. He reluctantly left the kitchen and said, "You kid... having Shenhua cook for you is a blessing not everyone can have!"
"Come on, I know your craft."
Ren Zheng has no offspring and has always lived alone. He has no motivation to improve his cooking skills, so the food he cooks is just enough to make the person not die.
Although he was only processing the ingredients now, Yu Cang, who had tasted Ren Zheng's work, would never dare to hand over the kitchen to him.
Ren Zheng didn't feel annoyed by what Yu Cang said. He wiped his hands and walked out of the kitchen.
On the side, Yu Shuhong's tools were snatched away. He touched his head and said, "Hiss...Xiao Cang, there should be a bar at home?"
Before Yu Cang could answer, Mu Xuezhi glared at him and said, "Drinking as soon as you get back!"
"It's been a while since I last saw you, teacher." Yu Shuhong said with a smile, "When I eat with you, of course I have to drink a little... Teacher, you've become a legend now, you can't be more drunk than me, right?"
The smile on Ren Zheng's face suddenly froze: "You kid—I really have to teach you a lesson today about respecting your teachers! Xiao Cang, where's the wine?"
"The wine... should be gone." A faint voice came from the kitchen.
Yu Cang didn't like the feeling of drinking. To be more precise, he hated anything that made him unable to stay calm.
Therefore, after the parents disappeared, there would naturally be no alcohol at home.
"I'll go out and buy it."
Yu Shuhong was about to leave when Ren Zheng stopped him: "That store is closed - I'll call and have some delivered."
Hearing this, Yu Shuhong's eyes dimmed slightly, but soon returned to normal.
More than five years, almost six years, is neither long nor short.
Some familiar old stores closed down during this period and will never reopen again.
"Tsk...Okay then." Yu Shuhong turned around and said, "If the wine later is not good, I will blame you, Teacher."
"Absolutely impossible." Ren Zheng vowed.
Looking at the two people who were secretly competing with each other, the smile on Mu Xuezhi's face looked a little helpless.
But she didn't say anything, just looked away.
"Come... Jie Shuang, there's no need to clean up so neatly... Come and chat with Auntie."
!
Gu Jieshuang, who was struggling with a cabinet and wanted to get every speck of dust out of the gap, suddenly gasped, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Oh no...this moment has finally come!
What should I do? I'm so nervous...
Gu Jieshuang glanced around slyly, and then found Qi'er standing aside, who was also at a loss. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.
"Hey! Here they come!"
She responded, then quickly took off her apron and rubber gloves, and put them away properly.
He picked up Qi'er and came to Mu Xuezhi's side.
"I'm here, Auntie!"
Gu Jieshuang sat upright, holding Qi'er in his arms like a rag doll, looking ahead with a serious face.
Having something to hold in her hands would at least make her less embarrassed... well, probably.
Seeing this, Mu Xuezhi couldn't help but smile: "Don't be so nervous... Auntie doesn't eat people."
"Uh-huh... no no, I mean, I know you don't eat humans... no no, that that..."
For a moment, the girl was sweating profusely in anxiety.
At this time.
"Aunt!"
Qi'er in her arms said, "Sister likes Auntie, that's why she's so nervous!"
"Oh." Mu Xuezhi covered her mouth and chuckled, "My dear child, why are you so sweet?"
"I like Auntie too, she's so pretty..."
"Oh..." Mu Xuezhi couldn't help herself and reached out to touch Qi'er's head, "You really know how to talk."
"hey-hey……"
Seeing Qi'er drawing away Mu Xuezhi's firepower, Gu Jieshuang finally got a chance to catch his breath.
The pressure is just too great... Even facing a myth, there's no such pressure...
No, cheer up!
She gathered herself together and racked her brains, "Auntie...you look so young, how do you maintain your looks?"
Gu Jieshuang admitted that this sentence was completely a formula - of course, it was also the truth.
On the way here, she searched for many topics online, but she was still unsure whether they would be useful... But at this moment, she had no choice but to go ahead and do it.
As it turned out, the effect of this formula seemed to be better than she had imagined.
Mu Xuezhi looked very happy. She held Gu Jieshuang's hand and said, "Jieshuang, I'm already old, how can I still be young?"
"She's really young! Just like my sister!"
"Really... Oh, good kids nowadays are so good at talking... Okay, stop talking about auntie and tell me, how did you and Xiao Cang know each other? How did that guy catch up with a beauty like you?"
Listening to Mu Xuezhi's gentle words, Gu Jieshuang finally felt a little relaxed.
She glanced at the kitchen secretly and said, "Actually, I'm the one chasing the boss..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Shuhong, who was chatting with Ren Zheng at the side, couldn't help but look sideways.
Then, he nodded in approval.
He is worthy of being my son!
"Jie Shuang—" a voice suddenly came from the kitchen, "Come and help me."
"Oh, okay!"
Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang felt relieved.
"Auntie, let's talk later...The boss called me."
After saying that, she put down the chess piece and rushed into the kitchen.
Finally... I can escape temporarily again...
But it feels really good.
There was a natural smile on the corner of the girl's mouth.
