C1 Immortal Returned

Ouch! My head hurts!

Chen Ping opened his eyes, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

"What is this...?"

Struggling to sit up, he glanced around the unfamiliar room, sensing a faint hint of familiarity.

"Holiday Inn, Room 602!"

With uncertainty, Chen Ping instinctively looked at the beautiful woman sleeping beside him. It was Su Hanxue, the campus beauty!

"I can't believe I didn't perish but instead returned to the past..."

...

Chen Ping, also known as Chen Wutian, a name derived from "without law or heaven," was one of the rulers of the Immortal World. In his previous life, Chen Ping was oppressed by enemies and, finding no way out, chose to abandon everything and retreat to the mountains. Unexpectedly, one night after his retreat, he was manipulated like a puppet to jump off a cliff.

Jumping off the cliff didn't kill Chen Ping; instead, he found himself in the Immortal World, embarking on a path of cultivation. In the Immortal World, Chen Ping spent nine thousand years, eventually achieving the status of an Immortal, becoming the first in eons with the potential to transcend.

However, during his transcendence, he was treacherously attacked by Yu Nishang, the woman he had protected for three thousand years. Chen Ping thought he was doomed, but to his surprise, he was reborn into his younger self!

"I guess it's fate that I can return to the past. Since that's the case, Jade Nisha, you deceitful woman, you ambushed me during my trial in the last life. This time around, prepare for my revenge!"

Chen Ping's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes filled with intense frostiness.

"In my previous life, I started my journey into cultivation a bit late. Even though I eventually reached the rank of Immortal, my foundation was lacking. This time, I'll build my strength step by step. When I reach the rank of Immortal again, I'll be unbeatable, conquering all adversaries across the heavens!"

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Chen Ping's eyes.

"But right now, things are a bit tricky..." Chen Ping glanced down at the beautiful Su Hanxue, who was asleep beside him, and frowned slightly.

He remembered that this was a trap set by class president Wang Cheng and his girlfriend, Wu Xiaojuan, to frame him and get him expelled from school.

In his last life, this incident led to his expulsion, and he was beaten by Su Hanxue's admirer, breaking both his legs. If it hadn't been for Su Hanxue discerning the truth, Chen Ping might have never gotten out of jail!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Urgent footsteps echoed from outside the room!

Before anyone arrived, an angry voice could already be heard.

"Mr. Sun, I saw with my own eyes Chen Ping carrying an unconscious Su Hanxue into room 602!"

"Wang Cheng is the class president, and the class president wouldn't lie! Mr. Sun, when you see Chen Ping, don't go easy on him!"

...

Chen Ping got out of bed, standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint.

"Finally here? Too bad, this isn't like last time!"

Click!

The hotel room door was opened from the outside, and in came the homeroom teacher, Ms. Sun Meili, class president Wang Cheng, and his girlfriend Wu Xiaojuan, along with five or six other classmates.

When Ms. Sun Meili saw Su Hanxue lying on the bed, her expression turned extremely grim.

"Chen Ping! How dare you! Drugging Su Hanxue and doing such vile things in a hotel!"

Class president Wang Cheng stepped forward, pointing at Chen Ping, a cold glint in his eyes, trying to take control of the situation.

"Chen Ping! You jerk!"

Chen Ping's current girlfriend, Wu Xiaojuan, was trembling with anger, shouting, "I'm your girlfriend, and you went behind my back to drug another girl!"

"Chen Ping! How could you do this to Su Hanxue?" Ms. Sun Meili, tall and slender, was furious. "I have to report this to the school and ensure a thorough investigation!"

Wang Cheng quickly spoke up, "Mr. Sun, we can't let Chen Ping off so easily. We should report this to the school and have Chen Ping expelled! Not only that, we should call the police and have him locked up!"

Hearing this, a cold smile flashed across Chen Ping's face. Nothing has changed. In his previous life, it was the same story, word for word. Back then, Chen Ping was just an eighteen-year-old student, and he panicked when faced with such a situation.

But now, standing here is not the same naive teenager. He is the Wutian Immortal, who has fought for nine thousand years in the Immortal World, reaching the pinnacle over countless adversaries.

"Wang Cheng, aren't you being a bit too hasty?" Chen Ping, though wishing he could slap everyone in the room, had no strength and had to speak patiently. "The hotel has surveillance cameras. Let's check the footage, and the truth will come out. That way, I can clear my name."

At the mention of checking the footage, a flicker of panic crossed the faces of class leader Wang Cheng and Wu Xiaojuan. A cold smile appeared in Chen Ping's eyes. In his previous life, he had also suggested checking the footage, but Wang Cheng had used the excuse of going to the restroom to delete it all. Back then, with these so-called "eyewitnesses," Chen Ping didn't stand a chance.

But in this life, Chen Ping wouldn't let Wang Cheng delete the footage.

"Are we checking the surveillance footage?"

Ms. Smith, the homeroom teacher, thought Chen's suggestion made a lot of sense and nodded. She was about to speak when Alex scoffed and snapped, "Even if we check it, it won't prove your innocence! We all saw what you did, even Ms. Smith!"

"Then why not check the footage to see if it can clear my name?" Chen replied coldly, glancing at Ms. Smith with a pointed look. "Sometimes, seeing isn't believing."

"Alright!"

Alex was about to argue, but Ms. Smith interrupted, "In that case, let's review the footage. The truth will come out then."

She added, "Everyone will witness it. If Chen is guilty, I'll report it to the school. If not, everyone must acknowledge his innocence."

"Ms. Smith, maybe we should call the police first! Checking the footage should be their job. Besides, the hotel might not let us access it."

Alex was getting nervous. If they reviewed the footage, his actions would be exposed. He needed to buy time. While waiting for the police, he could find a way to delete the footage. Without it, Chen wouldn't be able to prove his innocence, no matter what.

Ms. Smith nodded in agreement, just about to speak when suddenly, Alex interrupted.

"John! Are you trying to delete the surveillance footage before the police arrive?"

"Because once they check the footage, they'll see that you're the mastermind behind all of this! Don't deny it! Denying it is as good as admitting it!"
