"Alright, alright, I'm not that fragile." Xing Yucheng shook off Lian Han's hand that was supporting him and took a few shaky steps.
"It feels alright."
Jingli said worriedly, "Please be careful and walk slowly."
Xing Yucheng looked at Jing Li, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed, "Xiao Li, my judgment was not bad, I didn't misjudge you. But I wasn't confident enough, and I still misunderstood you."
"It has nothing to do with the teacher. I did make a mistake myself." Jingli smiled bitterly.
He was afraid the teacher would blame him, but he was actually more afraid the teacher would blame herself. It truly was his fault. If the other party hadn't attacked him, how could such a strong person as the teacher have been so easily defeated?
"It was also my oversight. If I had paid more attention to you back then, instead of thinking you were an adult and could stand on your own, things wouldn't have happened..."
Seeing them admit their mistakes to each other, Lian Han's lips twitched. "Alright, alright. The important thing is that everything's fine now, isn't it? Besides, the person who started this hasn't been punished yet, so why are you in such a hurry?"
The two glanced at Lian Han, and Xing Yucheng chuckled softly, "That's true. Xiao Li, help me over to sit for a while."
Seeing Jingli carefully helping the person over, Lian Han raised an eyebrow, "Tsk! So you don't want me anymore now that you have a senior brother? I'm clearly closer to you."
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll settle scores later?" Xing Yucheng said.
"So you know I can keep accounts?" Lian Han looked at him and sneered.
As Ning Jue's elder brother, Lord Juecheng's appearance is also top-notch, coupled with his magnetic voice. Moreover, the more than ten years of "slumber" have not left any marks on his appearance; he looks only slightly older than Jing Li, and he could easily attract attention wherever he goes. Unfortunately, Lian Han is clearly not someone who can be seduced by good looks.
Xing Yucheng said to Jing Li in a serious tone, "Xiao Li, you have to protect me. Your junior sister is even fierce to me."
"That's because you're disrespectful to your elders. You live on my turf, yet you betray me and get entangled with other men, almost causing my senior brother to misunderstand me. How could you do this to me?"
"Other men—" Xing Yucheng was startled by the girl's description. Jing Li had already turned to look at her teacher, a half-smile on her face, "You had General Ning investigate me?"
"Ahem, I'm not doubting, I just want to confirm? The physical data you gave Xiaohan before was clearly mine."
Lian Han raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you were suspicious when you saw the data, but you didn't tell me?"
"...What's wrong? Why do I suddenly feel a little dizzy? Let me go back to the medical pod and lie down for a while."
Xing Yucheng rubbed his forehead, trying to get up, but the next moment a stack of healing cards appeared in front of him.
Lian Han arranged the cards into a fan shape. Hmm, each card was different. "Which one do you think will work?"
Xing Yucheng: ...
Seeing his expression, Jingli, who was still a little worried, knew that the teacher was lying to them. He had originally wanted to plead with his junior sister, but instead of doing so, he crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and adopted a smug look.
Xing Yucheng, who was watching the spectacle unfold, twitched his lips and glanced at the barely noticeable little scorpion on the top of her head. "Okay, I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again."
Lian Han looked at him and said, "You are not allowed to lie to me or hide anything from me again."
Seeing the girl's serious expression, Xing Yucheng reluctantly gave in, "I promise I will never lie to you again."
Lian Han nodded. "How are you feeling? Are you adjusting well?"
"After all, it's the original body. Although it's a bit rusty from not being used for over ten years, it'll be fine after some movement."
"So what should we do next? You're not in a good position to appear in public right now, are you?" Lian Han asked.
Xing Yucheng looked at Jing Li and said, "Ask him."
Lian Han also looked over, and the latter smiled, opened the smart device, and several identity information immediately popped up on the interface, "Which one do you think is suitable?"
"You had prepared a fake identity all along?" Lian Han asked in surprise.
"Yes. After all, if we succeed, the teacher definitely can't use his original name if the enemy isn't eliminated. We have to find him a legitimate identity. I prepared a few extra. Actually, the identity document you asked me to forge for Xuyao last time was from this group."
Lian Han couldn't help but admire her senior's foresight. "Then you should quickly choose one and go out for a meal. We should at least celebrate."
"Junior Sister, I'm afraid it's not possible right now," Jing Li said helplessly.
"Huh?"
"Foolish girl. Do you think that just because Cangming could sense you back then, he can't sense my resurrection now?"
Um—"What should we do then?"
"We need to use cards for cover first. Although I have prepared a few high-level cards to conceal our presence, it's best to use top-grade cards for safety," Jingli explained.
"Then you can't, senior brother—" Lian Han paused, "Oh. Is it because the old man hasn't had time to teach you how to make it yet?"
“Yes. After all, I had just advanced to 3S when the teacher had the accident. There was a lot I hadn’t had time to learn yet.” Jingli nodded.
Xing Yucheng looked at his hands. "I can't do the precise work of drawing cards right now. I'll pass on the drawing method to you, you can do it."
“No problem.” After saying that, Jingli added, “Give me the premium version of the Awakening Card as well. Make it together so that Junior Sister won’t have to live in fear of having her consciousness invaded while she’s far away in the capital.”
Xing Yucheng nodded, and a beam of white light surged from between his eyebrows, entering Jing Li's spiritual sea. After receiving it, the latter pressed a button in the room, and a table extended from the wall, on which was placed a stack of unmade original cards.
Lian Han: ...When did he prepare this? Or had he already planned out every step he would take after the old man woke up?
She glanced at Jing Li and silently raised her opinion of her senior brother's intelligence by one level. If she didn't want her lie to be exposed on the spot, it would be best not to lie to him in the future.
Next was a pleasant card exchange time for the three of them, master and apprentice. Jing Li, as a top-level card maker, created the Hidden Star Card with the function of concealing aura after only one failure. The subsequent Awakening Card was even more successful without any failures, and the attributes were all extremely good.
Lian Han raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Hidden Star Card and Awakening Card that had been given to him. "Do I want this too? That guy already knows I exist, so it would be more suspicious if his aura suddenly disappeared at this time."
"So it's just a backup. If you encounter danger in the future, you can use it to hide after you escape. Believe me, being targeted by that person is definitely not a safe situation." Jingli patted her shoulder.
Xing Yucheng, who was standing to the side, looked a little strange when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal. He injected his spiritual power into his Hidden Star Card and slapped it against his chest. His aura disappeared instantly. "Come on, girl, where's your mask? Let me use it. I'll return it to you later."
Lian Han remained silent, then took out the Yi Card from the Xi Rui bracelet. It was a high-level card, a reward from the system when she was doing quests in the early days. It could transform into any form and had permanent durability. She had used it quite a bit before.
Xing Yucheng put on the mask, mimicking the appearance of an ordinary-looking person on Jingli's AI. "That's him. What do you think? Does it look like him?"
"Yes, that's perfect. Remember, from now on, your teacher's name is Gu Dan."
