Thank Goodness I Kneeled Down Quickly

Chen Ping'an was truly baffled.

This was different from what he had expected.

Weren't you going to request to compose poetry?

Why are you now kneeling down and apologizing?

And even apologizing with your life... ...

We've only just met, you haven't done anything to wrong me... ...

Chen Ping'an was speechless.

He didn't know what to say.

At this moment, he could only quickly help the other person up, and then prepare to ask him why he was apologizing.

But then.

The person who stood up, Zhen Zhangteng, bowed again and said, "Thank you for your senior's forgiveness. I am too ashamed to see you again, so I shall take my leave!"

As he spoke, he cupped his fists in salutation towards Chen Ping'an.

It was not that he wanted to leave, but that he had to leave.

Because he did not know if Chen Ping'an would regret his decision later!

As the saying goes, "Accompanying a noble person is like accompanying a tiger."

If this senior was a capricious person, having just forgiven him but then becoming angry again in the next moment, he wouldn't even know how he died!

Just that moment ago, he felt like his heart was about to burst.

The slight opening of the eyes, the slight furrowing of the brow, embodied the true meaning of terror!

Thank goodness he quickly kneeled down, earning a bit of sympathy and forgiveness. Otherwise, he might have died just then!

He really couldn't stay here any longer.

Who knows if he would offend this senior again for some other reason, in which case he would be guaranteed to die for real.

Chen Ping'an was still very confused, but he didn't intend to stop the other party from leaving.

So he could only nod.

As for Guo Zimu, he was even more bewildered at this moment.

More confused than Chen Ping'an.

Especially at the moment when Zhen Zhangteng knelt down.

He still hasn't come back to his senses.

He also couldn't understand why the dean said he was wrong.

He clearly hadn't done anything!

After receiving Chen Ping'an's approval, Zhen Zhangteng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked towards Guo Zimu.

And at this moment.

A look of sudden realization flashed across his eyes.

As if he had understood something.

It seems the senior didn't forgive me for quickly admitting my mistake!

It's quite possible that he gave me face because Zimu is here!!

Thinking of this, Zhen Zhangteng looked at Guo Zimu with the reverence due to a benefactor, and said kindly, "Zimu, would you like to go back to the academy with me directly, or stay here for a few days first? Actually, our academy also has a place for your parents to stay, if you don't mind, they can come along too."

Upon hearing this, Guo Zimu's face showed a look of pleasant surprise, and he quickly bowed to Zhen Zhangteng and said, "Many thanks to the dean!"

Zhen Zhangteng also quickly said, "Zimu is too polite. Then let's go and fetch your parents."

After saying this, Zhen Zhangteng looked towards Chen Ping'an again, bowing to bid farewell.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an had a slight smile on his face, feeling gratified by Guo Zimu's achievements.

He had more or less watched Guo Zimu grow up.

You may not believe it, but five years ago, Guo Zimu was just a little rascal.

Back then, not to mention constantly getting into fights, he would bully anyone he met.

Guo Zimu also bowed towards Chen Ping'an, and said, "Master Chen, I will come back to visit you when I have time in the future."

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, signaling for him to go.

The two nodded, turned, and left.

Chen Ping'an watched as Guo Zimu and the other person walked away, but at this moment, someone suddenly appeared beside him.

Startling him.

After looking, he realized it was Su Ling's father.

As soon as Su Yi appeared, seeing that Chen Ping'an was outside, he hurriedly paid his respects.

"Greetings, senior!"

Chen Ping'an heard the word "senior" again, and smiled wryly, saying, "Why have you come back?"

Chen Ping'an was rather afraid that Su Yi might regret leaving Su Ling here, and had come back to take her away.

Su Yi said, "I came back to bring some clothes that Xiao Ling used to like to wear."

As he spoke, he respectfully stepped forward and took out a storage ring, handing it to Chen Ping'an.

Seeing the storage ring, a glimmer of light flashed in Chen Ping'an's eyes.

It was a storage ring.

He had heard that after putting it on and closing your eyes, focusing your awareness on it, you could sense the items inside.

Most importantly, you didn't need to have any cultivation base to use it.

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Good, I'll give it to Su Ling."

While Chen Ping'an was chatting over here.

In the distance, Zhen Zhangteng and Guo Zimu had already stopped.

Zhen Zhangteng was now looking in the direction of Chen Ping'an.

His appearance was the same as when he had seen the illusion earlier.

Eyes wide open.

This time, his body even trembled slightly.

The Sovereign Immortal Emperor!

It really is the Sovereign Immortal Emperor!

How... how is he here?

When Su Yi appeared, Zhen Zhangteng sensed a powerful aura emanating from behind!

At that time, he quickly turned around to look.

He shouldn't have looked - as soon as he turned his head, he saw Su Yi respectfully bowing to Chen Ping'an!

His hearing was extremely good, and he heard Su Yi's honorific for Chen Ping'an, which was also "senior"!

A hundred years ago, Zhen Zhangteng had the honor of seeing the Sovereign Immortal Emperor once, and even exchanged a few words with him.

Now, seeing the Sovereign Immortal Emperor being so respectful, just like he had been earlier, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

A senior is a senior!

That was the Sovereign Immortal Emperor!

A being on the same level as the Sage of Scholars!

"The senior is far more than I had imagined. Thank goodness I kneeled down quickly enough earlier, and Zimu was also present!"

At this moment, Zhen Zhangteng was very grateful, but also still felt a lingering sense of terror.

After that, he didn't dare look anymore, and left with Guo Zimu.

He had made up his mind.

After returning, he would properly cultivate Guo Zimu.

After all, Guo Zimu had saved his life!

And at this moment, Guo Zimu was also very confused, because he had noticed that the dean's gaze towards him had changed...

After chatting with Su Yi for a bit, Chen Ping'an suddenly remembered something.

He had thought that Su Yi was from the Book Mountain Immortal Academy.

So he smiled and said, "You must know Zhen Zhangteng from the Book Mountain Immortal Academy, right?"

In Chen Ping'an's view, since these two were both from the Book Mountain Immortal Academy, and Zhen Zhangteng was the dean, Su Yi must know him.

Su Yi thought for a moment, his memory was excellent, and he recalled this name.

He had met the person once, a hundred years ago.

After recalling, Su Yi looked at Chen Ping'an with great admiration.

In his heart, he thought:

The senior is truly powerful, to have figured out even this small matter!

Tsk tsk, perhaps there is nothing in this world that the senior cannot deduce?

The more he thought about it, the more reverent Su Yi's expression became.

And in response to Chen Ping'an's question, Su Yi also nodded and said, "We spoke a few words in the past."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an nodded, roughly deducing Su Yi's position at the Book Mountain Immortal Academy.

He definitely wasn't a teacher.

A teacher wouldn't have just exchanged a few words with the dean.

So he must be someone of rather low status!

Chen Ping'an nodded slightly and smiled, "When Zhen Zhangteng comes another day, I'll put in a good word for you."

Hearing these words, Su Yi was taken aback for a moment.

What did the senior mean by this?!

This Zhen Zhangteng was just a weak Immortal Infant realm cultivator, right?

After a hundred years, at most he'd be in the Immortal Spirit realm, why would the senior say he'll put in a good word for me?

Could it be that this Zhen Zhangteng had already become very powerful?!

Thinking of this, Su Yi had another moment of realization.

This Zhen Zhangteng must have ingratiated himself with the senior early on!

So his current achievements must already be quite high!

"Thank you, senior!" Su Yi said respectfully.

Chen Ping'an laughed, "It's nothing, my relationship with him is still quite good."

As he spoke, Chen Ping'an had a self-satisfied look on his face. 

Chen Ping'an felt that to let Su Yi feel at ease leaving Su Ling with him, he had to make himself seem a bit more prestigious at the moment.

And with Zhen Zhangteng being the esteemed dean, by saying this, it made it seem like he had a good relationship with this dean!

As a member of the Book Mountain Immortal Academy, Su Yi would then have more confidence in his teaching abilities.

Thinking this way, Chen Ping'an felt he was quite the genius.
