"Yes, young master! No problem, young master! I'll wait for you!"
Ning Zheyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed. He had thought that the young master did not want to see him, but it turned out that he really had something to do today.
That's good, that's good...
Ning Zheyuan was finally able to put his mind at ease.
"I almost forgot, there's one more thing!"
Ning Zheyuan hurriedly said, "Master Su's birthday is in a few days, young master, please don't forget."
"I know, I remember, bye."
Xia Che had only chatted casually because he was bored while smoking, and now that he had finished his cigarette, he naturally didn't want to talk to the other person about anything else.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
"Alright, alright, young master, get some rest. See you tomorrow!"
"Um."
Xia Che hung up the phone, put it away, stretched, and then suddenly remembered something. He blinked and gave a wry smile.
Grass……
Since I've already agreed to Ning Zheyuan's request, does that mean I'll have to skip class again tomorrow?
I was planning to go to class tomorrow...
"Forget it, let's go tomorrow afternoon. We've been running away for so many days, one more day won't make a difference."
Xia Che shook his head with a wry smile. This time, it really wasn't his own idea to skip class; things just piled up one after another.
"Oh right... I need to prepare some things for tonight's situation, I should go to the supermarket."
Xia Che turned and walked towards the supermarket. The problem the female lead encountered that night really couldn't be solved without prior preparation.
"Also, Master's birthday is coming up soon. If Cigarette Scar hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten. Hmm... It's been a while since I visited Master, hasn't it? I wonder if that eccentric woman can notice anything unusual about me..."
Xia Che hadn't forgotten Ning Zheyuan's words, and muttered something while touching his chin.
He had a master who taught him swordsmanship; his surname was Su, and his name was Su Miaorou.
It was that heartless old man who dragged the original owner to become a disciple, forcibly pressing his head down to perform the three kneelings and nine kowtows, in the most standard manners in every aspect.
In modern times, the master-disciple relationship either involves some financial gain or simply using the other person's reputation to gain fame and reputation.
It's rare to see a formal apprenticeship process that strictly follows ancient customs anymore.
Moreover, the person he sought to become an apprentice with was quite peculiar.
Su Miaorou is a woman, a very beautiful woman.
According to the original owner's memories, the master's exact age is unclear, but judging from his appearance, he is at most twenty-four or twenty-five, which is the age of a college student.
But the master, who looks as aloof as a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, is incredibly ruthless. If his posture is not correct, he will unleash a series of vicious moves, each one hitting him. Can you believe that he was able to be completely hit with the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique when he was only eight years old?
But the other party was clearly also very capable, having lived in seclusion deep in the mountains, residing in a bamboo hut, drinking dew, and eating rare delicacies from the mountains.
He lived like an ancient person living in the modern world, with unbelievable skills, especially the sword in his hand, which was so sharp it seemed to be able to split the heavens and the earth.
Even now, despite having made significant progress under her master's grueling training and becoming a master herself, she still couldn't see her master's movements clearly and would easily be used as a punching bag to be brutally beaten.
Although his master would beat him every time, in the original owner's memories, the other party was the person closest to him. His attitude was dignified, but he was like the most reliable support. He would run into the deep mountains whenever he had nothing to do, and he only stopped going recently because he was possessed by the original owner's soul.
"...Never mind, I'm still a bit unsure. The more I look at this woman, the more she seems like a cultivator. The original owner of this body was a dog's brain, so what's with the aloofness? She's clearly a terrestrial immortal who just doesn't have the inclination to interact with mortals..."
Xia Che had read a lot of online novels and could tell at a glance that the original owner's master had an extraordinary background.
I thought the comic book world I'd transmigrated into was a magic-free dimension similar to reality, but now it seems quite different.
"I think I'll just not go see her. I'll just prepare a gift and have someone deliver it. Even if we meet in the future, I'll have to wait until I've fully accepted the original owner's memories. In my current state... it's hard to say whether she'll notice anything amiss."
Xia Che nodded in deep agreement.
Given the other party's mysterious background, it's best not to take the risk.
If we look at it from the perspective of online novel settings, my situation is very similar to possession. It would be bad if the other party discovered that something was wrong with me and killed me to avenge the original owner...
I really want to return to the real world after completing the mission.
"However... it seems that the plot of the original comic is all driven from Li Junyang's perspective. Characters like those heartless parents, the original owner's sister, and this master have never appeared in the original work. Tsk... I feel that the comic world is becoming less and less simple than I imagined."
When dealing with these characters who have not appeared in the comics, Xia Che always keeps a degree of vigilance in his heart and tries his best to avoid any opportunity to come into contact with these people.
After all, I haven't fully accepted the original owner's memories yet, so I might make mistakes in some details that I might not notice.
Xia Che hates trouble, which is why he has always acted according to the original owner's habits, just to avoid being discovered.
Suddenly, Xia Che, who was about to turn around and go to the supermarket, caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure out of the corner of his eye. He turned around casually and found that a group of young people with unfriendly expressions had gathered behind him.
"...Heh, they're all acquaintances."
Xia Che smiled slightly. Although he only glanced at them, he had seen quite a few of these people's faces. He recognized them; he had met them in the alley when he first rescued Shen Yanxin.
—Li Hu's man.
"So impatient... trying to get revenge?"
Xia Che remained expressionless, ignoring these people, but subtly changed his route, turning and walking to the left.
There are few people there; it's an abandoned construction site, perfect for getting things done.
Perfect timing! Xia Che wanted to test whether he had inherited the physical training along with the original owner's memories.
"Based on the special training I received from my original master... I should be a very powerful expert by now."
Xia Che strolled along, his hands behind his back clenching quietly. Feeling the relentless, forceful pressure in his palms, Xia Che's smile deepened.
These idiots...
The original owner was simply following her master's orders not to fight in front of ordinary people. The only time she fought back was when she was so harassed that she had no other choice but to retaliate, and she even used a knife as a cover.
"That's why people who can be thugs are usually brainless..."
"They don't even consider that if the original owner really had no strength and was just a coward who only knew how to use a knife and thus earned the title of 'Knife Brother,' how could he possibly have managed to injure eight people at the same time without sustaining any damage himself?"
