Chapter-17
Anos looked at Shen Yue with interest and asked,
Anos-"Student Shen Yue, what do you think of my story?"
Hearing that Shen Yue was mentally cursing his luck to actually hear about all that, as he knew that it was true and looking at Nie Li's expression he is even more sure about that, and looked at Anos and smiled happily like a normal 12 or 13-year-old child would do from a normal world and said,
Shen Yue-"It's a very good story, Teacher Anos, you have the talent to write things."
Hearing that Anos smiled, not because of the praise but due to the smile that Shen Yue was giving, he seem to have forgotten due to pressure that he is in a cultivation world where even a child is willing to kill someone if the reward is enough for him to do.
Anos then said,
Anos-"I am happy with your praise, then you shall go and I will not visit your family, so don't worry about that."
Hearing that Shen Yue smiled and quickly left saying,
Shen Yue-"Then I shall take my leave, Teacher Anos."
Shen Yue doesn't even look at Ophis or other girls as he knew that a lustful expression could be made on his face and he saw the fate of those who looked at Grayfia with that expression and saw that he remembered the Infinity war movie. So he quickly left.
Seeing him like that, Anos chuckled along with everyone and after some time, Ye Ziyun said looking at Anos,
Ye Ziyun-"Teacher Anos, he doesn't feel like the real Shen Yue, it feels like there is another person inside of him now."
Hearing that Anos, Ophis, and Grayfia looked at her in amazement and Anos asked,
Anos-"And What made you think like that?"
Ye Ziyun thought for a while and said,
Ye Ziyun-"In the class, he would always sit on the seat beside me but today he sat far away from me, and during the class, I saw him looking at you intently with only fear and curiosity as yesterday he was looking at you with fear and respect and from the fact that during the class, he could use the weapons so easily like he had been using them for years."
Hearing that Anos, Ophis, and Grayfia looked at her with appreciative gaze while Xiao Ning'er was a little shocked but she also knew that her friend is a genius so she was happy for her friend as yesterday, she was a little worried as Ye Ziyun was not analyzing her situation clearly but now felt that it was probably due to the shock she received yesterday that she was not able to think clearly.
Anos then said,
Anos-"Yes, you are right, as the soul in him right now is different, so, you should be careful around him as he could prove dangerous to you two."
Hearing that both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er nodded their head while Anos turned towards Grayfia and said,
Anos-"Do ask any questions you got, Grayfia, and you should know that I will try to give you and as I have done every time."
Hearing that Grayfia nodded her head and asked,
Grayfia-"Then, Anos-sama, why is Sage Emperor so eager to return to his dimension when he could have ruled this dimension?"
When Grayfia asked that question, both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er looked shocked as they could now connect the dots and knew that the story that Anos had told them was real.
And Nie Li, who was sitting on the chair with his head down, thinking about something, immediately looked towards Anos as he himself wants to know the answer to that question.
Anos seeing that said with a small but sad smile,
Anos-"For me, In this whole story, Sage Emperor would be the saddest and the pitiful person as he had his own family and loved one left in other dimension and he was left here due to a fight, in which he had no-fault, and now he just wants to return back to his dimension."
Hearing that Grayfia nodded her head and asked,
Grayfia-"Then Anos-sama, why can't he just make a wormhole to his dimension?"
Anos shook his head hearing that and said,
Anos-"Dear Grayfia, he could do that, but those void beasts are not going to let him do that, and he himself is weak to pass through the void as his power is based on soul and the void corrodes the soul easier."
Hearing that Grayfia had a look of terror as she imagined the being she had seen in the void and shook her head quickly, Anos seeing that said,
Anos-"Don't worry, they can't hurt you."
Grayfia nodded her head hearing that and Ye Ziyun who was quiet for some time asked,
Ye Ziyun-"Then Teacher Anos, are you going to help that 'Sage Emperor'"
Hearing that Anos laughed and said,
Anos-"Why should I help him, I mean yes, he is a pitiful existence, but, for me, he is just a nobody, and, I don't care about those not related to me."
Hearing that Ophis, Grayfia, and Juddeca smiled.
While Nie Li, who was quiet for some time looked at Anos and asked,
Nie Li-"Teacher Anos, Who are you?"
This time he asked in a calm and respectful tone as he could feel that the man in front of him may even be stronger than his prime and even more than that, so he adopted the respectful tone.
Hearing Nie Li's question, Anos said,
Anos-"I am Anos Voldigoad."
Hearing that, Nie Li don't ask anything else as with this answer he knew he was not going to get the answers to his question so he simply said,
Nie Li-"Teacher Anos, I will be taking my leave as I have to arrange my thoughts."
Hearing that Anos nodded his head and said,
Anos-"Yes, you need to, so you should go home directly."
After that Nie Li went towards his home and Anos turned towards his group and Xiao Ning'er stood up from her seat and asked,
Xiao Ning'er-"Teacher Anos, if the story was true, then who were the girls who were with the boy during the city attack and in the Draconic Ruins Realm?"
Hearing that Anos looked towards her and thought for a while, whether to tell or not, but decided against it as they are still younger and they can't tolerate a shock-like Grayfia, as she had gotten her whole world flipped but still became calm after some time.
Anos then looked at Xiao Ning'er and said,
Anos-"Your strength is way too weak right now, and some things are better to remain unknown as it could prove harmful towards you."
Hearing that both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were a bit disappointed but nodded their head and Anos seeing that smiled, as they don't ask for more when they are told not to.
Anos then looked at everyone and said,
Anos-"I think it's about time we go back, as I still have to learn about the laws along with Ophis and Grayfia."
Hearing that, everyone nodded their head and Anos turned towards Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er and said,
Anos-"If you want, you could also come with us, as it may prove useful to you."
Hearing that Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er smiled and nodded their head, after that, everyone left for the City lord's mansion.
After reaching there, they made their ways towards Anos's Courtyard and found Yu Yan there, sitting on a chair, Anos seeing that said,
Anos-"Finally accepted the reality?"
Hearing that Yu Yan snapped out from her thinking and turned towards Anos and said,
Yu Yan-"Yes, but it's really hard to believe that I had again gotten to live and at my prime strength."
Anos nodded his head hearing that and said,
Anos-"I know about that, so it's about time for you to teach us about the laws."
After Anos said that, he made a barrier around the courtyard as he doesn't want someone to disturb them.
Yu Yan then stood up and said,
Yu Yan-"The most important in comprehending the laws is to sense them. I will teach you the method to sense them. However, sensing the laws is extremely difficult. You might need to seclude yourself here for twenty years before you can sense a trace of a law."
Anos hearing that again waved his hand, Yu Yan seeing that asked,
Yu Yan-"What was that?"
Anos-"I had changed the flow of time here, 10 years inside the barrier is 1 hour outside."
Hearing that Yu Yan nodded her head, while both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er were shocked as changing the flow of time should be a difficult thing, but they don't ask about it and were excited to learn about the laws.
