C15 Rejected by the School Belle

Chen Ping had anticipated Su Hanxue's arrival but hadn't yet figured out a good solution.

"What a hassle!" Chen Ping thought to himself as he looked at Su Hanxue standing before him. With a sigh, he asked, "What's up?"

"I know everything that happened in room 602 at the Holiday Inn!" Su Hanxue said quietly, biting her lip.

"And then?"

"And then?" Su Hanxue met Chen Ping's eyes, noticing his frustration and furrowed brow. She asked, "Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

"I'm a victim in this too!" Chen Ping shook his head. "No one's given me an explanation either!"

"But you can rest assured, I didn't do anything to you! You're still untouched!"

Su Hanxue blushed deeply but met Chen Ping's gaze, saying, "What are you talking about? Anyway, since we're involved now, you need to take responsibility! This whole thing is all over the place, and how am I supposed to live with that?"

Chen Ping felt even more helpless.

Here we go again!

In a past life, Su Hanxue had a clear sense of right and wrong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to clear his name.

To Chen Ping, that was a debt of gratitude.

Even after thousands of years, Chen Ping still remembered.

Moreover, to be fair, Su Hanxue was a victim too, caught up in his mess. From that perspective, he felt he owed her something.

Thinking about this, Chen Ping couldn't help but ask, "So, what do you want me to do?"

"Be my boyfriend!" Su Hanxue quickly replied.

"That's not happening!" Chen Ping shook his head, refusing outright.

"Why not?" Su Hanxue demanded, clearly upset. "I'm the most popular girl at school, and there are guys lining up for blocks to date me! Now I'm asking you to be my boyfriend, and you're turning me down?"

"We're not a good match," Chen Ping said, shaking his head. "Pick something else! As long as it's not that, I'm open to other suggestions."

Su Hanxue didn't press further. Her eyes twinkled as she smiled and said, "Alright then, tomorrow night I'm going out for dinner. Come with me!"

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Ping agreed. Having a meal together wasn't a big deal.

Su Hanxue was a decent person, but being the most popular girl meant she had too many admirers. Chen Ping didn't want to get caught up in unnecessary drama because of her. Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, Chen Ping, having been given a second chance at life, valued every moment. He didn't want to waste time dealing with complications. His focus was on protecting his loved ones and working hard to achieve his ultimate goal.

Too much trouble would only hinder his progress! However, if Su Hanxue ever needed help, no matter how troublesome, Chen Ping would always lend a hand.

"Give me the phone!"

Su Hanxue reached out, and Chen Ping had no choice but to hand over his phone. A moment later, she returned it, now with her number saved.

Su Hanxue said, "I'll call you tomorrow. Make sure you come!"

"Alright!"

Finally, Su Hanxue left, and Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as Chen Ping walked another 60 or so feet, he stopped again. Ahead of him was another beautiful woman.

It was his homeroom teacher, Ms. Sun Meili.

"Chen Ping!"

Ms. Sun approached him, saying, "You missed class both yesterday and today. I covered for you with a note, but you need to be back in class tomorrow!"

"College is very important for everyone. If you keep this up, how will you graduate?"

Ms. Sun felt a bit guilty. She almost believed the nonsense from Wang Cheng and Wu Xiaojuan yesterday.

"Hello, Ms. Sun!" Chen Ping said with a smile.

In this world, there are bad people, but there are also good ones, and Ms. Sun was definitely one of the good ones.

Chen Ping replied, "Thank you, Ms. Sun! College used to be very important to me, and I needed that diploma. But now, it doesn't mean as much."

In his previous life, college was indeed important to Chen Ping. But in this life, as the reborn Immortal Wutian, was he really here just to attend college?

No way!

Chen Ping had no intention of going back to college!

Before Mr. Sun could speak, Chen Ping declared, "As a student, I have the right to take a leave of absence, and I'm going to apply for an indefinite one!"

"The school won't approve your request!" Mr. Sun retorted.

"No! The school will approve it!"

As he spoke, Chen Ping dialed Lin Hu's number and calmly instructed, "I want an indefinite leave of absence. Handle this immediately and get back to me within ten minutes!"

In less than three minutes, the phone rang, and Lin Hu's voice came through, "Mr. Chen, the leave of absence has been arranged! However, you'll need to complete some paperwork tomorrow. Of course, if it's urgent, we can process it now!"

"No need, we'll handle it tomorrow. You've done well!"

After hanging up, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sun! You're a good person! But I must say, the school has already approved my request, and I can complete the paperwork tomorrow!"

"Impossible!"

Ms. Sun couldn't believe it, but just then, her phone rang, and it was the principal on the line.

A moment later, after ending the call, Ms. Sun was in disbelief. The school had indeed approved Chen Ping's leave of absence, and it was the principal who personally called to inform her.

"Chen Ping!"

Ms. Sun was about to speak, but she realized Chen Ping had already left!

"You're only 18; you can't just stop attending school. I swear I'll get you back to your studies!" Ms. Sun vowed.

Half an hour later, Chen Ping returned to his rented apartment off-campus, frowning as soon as he walked in.

There’s not a hint of spiritual energy here, making it impossible to train happily. Plus, the air is so murky that staying too long might actually hinder my progress.

“Oh well! I’ll stay for now. Once I find a better place, I’ll move. If it comes to it, Misty Mountain could work in a pinch,” Chen Ping thought to himself.

Honestly, Misty Mountain isn’t ideal. There’s some spiritual energy, but it only restores enough for about half an hour of training a day. It’s barely enough now, and in a few days, it’ll be practically useless.

“Since I have some free time, I might as well make the protection charm for Old Master Lau. After all, he’s paying two million, and he already gave a million as a deposit. I can’t let him down,” Chen Ping chuckled, taking out cinnabar and yellow paper. Using three drops of his own blood as a catalyst, he began crafting the charm.

Ten minutes later, the charm was complete. Chen Ping put it away, ready to make another, when suddenly the phone rang.

“Mr. Chen! My condition has flared up again!” Lin Hu’s anxious voice came through, tinged with a hint of confusion.
