The Falling Star Model X Mk III could only be collected in a week. Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t stay at home for such a long time; he was ready to set off for the beast world again tomorrow!

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Sun Lan came to him and said, “Xiaoche, don’t be in such a hurry to go out. I have already spoken to your great-aunt; we are preparing to return to Qian Wei City to relocate your grandparents and your father’s graves to Tian Xing City. Come with us.”

“Oh, okay then. Are we setting out today, mom?” Zhang Che blinked. He had nearly forgotten about this matter.

His mother and his great-aunt had discussed this before. They wanted to shift the graves of his grandparents and that so-called father to Tian Xing City, or they’d feel lonely by themselves in Qian Wei City. It was just that after the opening of Premium House, everyone was busy and didn’t bring up the matter until now.

Starting a few days ago, due to the people from Bei Mei wrecking Premium House and the heavy snowfall, the beast card shop was now in the midst of renovation. They probably wanted to make use of this free time to get the matter done.

Sun Lan nodded, explaining, “Mmm, Premium House isn’t busy these next few days. We’ll set out today. By the way, your great-aunt has checked the lunar calendar; tomorrow is a good day for shifting graves. We’ll go over today, get things prepared, and tomorrow we’ll hire help to dig out their remains.”

Zhang Che nodded, not objecting to it. He’d just push going into the beast world back a few days. It could be considered taking a balance between work and rest.

Moreover, it had been a long time since he returned to Qian Wei City. Although his life in that small city wasn’t long, it was his first hometown after arriving in this world. Going back to have a look at it wasn’t bad, either.

——

As such, the whole family packed their things, then had Liu Gang and the others drive the two beastly cars, sending them off to Bei Du Airport, where Zhang Che then piloted Dijiang-hao to fly them over.

It was indeed much more convenient with his own sky shuttle plane!

If it was in the past, there was no direct sky shuttle flight from Bei Du to Qian Wei City. They would have had to go to Tian Xing City first and switch to an ordinary commercial flight. Going that way would take more than ten tours before they arrived at Qian Wei City. Now, with Dijiang-hao, they needed less than five hours to return directly to Qian Wei City.

This was the first time for Sun Lan and Sun Shaoying’s family on Zhang Che’s Dijiang-hao. When they got into the private sky shuttle, made with the most advanced technology and having the best defense, they couldn’t help but feel extremely shaken, especially that little girl Lin Xin’er. She was incredibly happy after boarding the aircraft, running here and there around the cabin, climbing next to the glass window and looking at the scenery outside, crying out loud excitedly.

——

Five hours was neither long or short. The group landed in Qian Wei City’s military airport at around 3 PM.

The Qian Wei military had been notified by Huang Juyun long ago. After Zhang Che and the others’ arrival, a military vehicle was arranged for them to take them into the city.

Zhang Che hadn’t sold off his newer house in Qian Wei City. He had entrusted the property management to take care of it. Someone would come clean the house every now and then; the house was very clean. The air was fresh, too. There wasn’t the moldy smell that occured when a house was empty for too long.

The house was an ordinary place, with three rooms and a living room. Although it was a little small, and they had a little too many people, it was livable if they squeezed a little. After all, with a house here, they didn’t have to go stay in a hotel!

After reaching home and tidying themselves up, they went out again, heading to Qian Wei City’s public cemetery, first paying their respects to Zhang Che’s grandparents and his so-called father.

Seeing her elder brother and his wife’s grave all of a sudden, Sun Shaoying couldn’t help thinking back on a lot of things in the past, and immediately cried up a storm.

Soon, Sun Lan and Xi Muyun also started crying. Even the little Lin Xin’er was at a loss seeing her grandma, mother, and aunt crying, and she too, cried out loud.

Zhang Che was standing at the side. Although he felt a faint sorrow, his soul came from another world, after all, and wouldn’t reach the point where he wanted to cry.

Fortunately, when the three adults saw Lin Xin’er crying after them, they hurriedly kept their emotions in check and stopped crying. As per the traditions, they burned some paper money and offered a ring of flowers to the three graves, then left the public cemetery.

Afterwards, Sun Lan and they others got busy. They needed to hire people to survey the dates and confirm the time to unearth the remains, as well as all kinds of arrangements. An important matter like shifting graves had many little details to take care of.

Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered with all those things. After dinner, he left the neighborhood and walked around outside. Afterwards, he was suddenly moved by a thought. He flagged down a taxi and went to visit Qian Wei City Number Two Secondary School.

He wanted to go visit his ex-homeroom teacher, Han Sheqing!

When he first decided to enter the beast worlds, Han Sheqing had lent him a bronze-quality beast card. He could be considered as having taken good care of Zhang Che. Furthermore, Han Sheqing’s character and virtue as a teacher was great. There was no reason for Zhang Che not to visit him after coming back to Qian Wei City!

—–

After riding in the taxi for more than half an hour, Zhang Che finally arrived at the Number Two Secondary School’s main gate.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, but the school was well lit. The students still had self-study sessions going on inside.

Just as he was about to enter the school gates, Zhang Che was stopped by the gate guard, Uncle Tai. “Eh? Who are you looking for?”

“Uncle Tai, I’m Zhang Che, a senior from the last cohort. I’m here to look for Teacher Han Sheqing.”

Although Zhang Che knew Uncle Tai, the same couldn’t be said for the opposite. After all, Zhang Che wasn’t a well-known figure in school back then. How could the gate guard recognize him?

Uncle Tai looked at Zhang Che suspiciously, then shook his head and said, “You’re a student from the last cohort? Don’t think I’m easy to fool just because I’m old! You look like you’re in your mid-twenties, at least! How dare you pretend to be last cohort’s student. Speak, who exactly are you, and what do you want by coming here?”

It was no wonder Uncle Tai didn’t believe him. Zhang Che was a hundred ninety centimeters tall, and had the calm attitude of someone strong. Although his face still seemed a little immature, it wasn’t comparable to typical students who had just graduated!

As a result, the gate guard, Uncle Tai immediately treated him as a member of society, looking at him warily. Meanwhile, he had stealthily pressed a red button installed next to his hand.

Zhang Che didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, “Uncle Tai, I’m really a senior from the last cohort. You don’t have to inform the security office, either. Just use the computer to check and look for information on students from Year Three Class Two. My information and picture is in there.”

Uncle Tai immediately grew doubtful. -Did I really make a mistake?

-Impossible. The hoodlums of society are very cunning nowadays. Who knows if he is aware he resembles a certain fresh graduate from last year and wants to sneak his way into the school?-

However, in order to keep Zhang Che here, Uncle Tai opened up the computer regardless and pretended to check, while wondering anxiously why the people from the security office weren’t here yet. “Really? Let me check, then.”

Uncle Tai took his time. Before he could bring up Zhang Che’s information, a wave of hurried footsteps was heard from behind the security door. A few muscular men came running out, looking at Zhang Che warily and asked Uncle Tai, “What happened, Uncle Tai?”

Seeing the security were here, Uncle Tai let out a sigh of relief. He pointed at Zhang Che, saying, “There, this little hoodlum dares to pretend to be a senior from the last cohort and is trying to sneak into the school. Quickly handle this. An old man like me can’t deal with this kind of hoodlum.”

Zhang Che nearly wept. Uncle Tai really didn’t believe him after all! He turned his head around, facing the wary security officers and said to the leader, “Team Leader Ma, I’m Zhang Che from Year Three, Class Two from the last cohort. I’ve just returned to Qian Wei City and am here to visit Teacher Han Sheqing. Please help me pass on the message.”

“Eh? You look... you’re really Zhang Che?”

Although Ma Jihui didn’t recognize Zhang Che, the latter was considered a legend of Number Two Secondary School. Although he didn’t go on to study in a university in the end, he withdrew from school before finishing his studies in his senior year and became at least a Tier Three beastmaster in only two months! Ma Jihui was aware of that much.

Not only that, Ma Jihui also heard rumors this legendary student got connected with a large clan from Bei Du military, and had gotten into an arena deathmatch with a Tier Six beastmaster for some reason, even obtaining the final victory in the end!

This kind of news was very shocking. A young man, not even nineteen years old, was only an ordinary person a year ago. In half a years’ time, he actually went on to beat a powerful mid-tier beastmaster! It could be said to be a miracle! For a small city like Qian Wei City, someone like that was a legend!

As such, Ma Jihui had seen Zhang Che’s picture before. Comparing them, they really looked similar...

“That’s right, Team Leader Ma, I am Zhang Che. If you don’t believe me, ask Teacher Han to come here, and you’ll get your confirmation,” Zhang Che smiled faintly.

He truly didn’t expect to be stopped at the gates when he visited his alma mater. Luckily the students were doing self-study inside, or, he’d be embarrassed to death if his juniors were watching this.

“Okay, I’ll get Teacher Han Sheqing to come out here.”

Although Ma Jihui was somewhat sure this burly young man was Zhang Che, he didn’t dare let him in since this matter concerned the students’ safety. He immediately contacted Han Sheqing, who was inside the school, via his personal terminal.

——

Soon, Han Sheqing’s laughter rang out, “Zhang Che, you didn’t even tell me earlier when you’re coming back! Why, you got yourself stopped by Uncle Tai now, huh? Hahahah!...”

Han Sheqing was very excited when he received Ma Jihui’s notification.

As Zhang Che’s old homeroom teacher, he more or less understood what happened to Zhang Che in Bei Du, and often felt proud having such a legendary student.

Han Sheqing was very gratified that Zhang Che actually came to visit him when he returned to Qian Wei City. Of course, he didn’t think Zhang Che came to Qian Wei City specially to visit him. The time of a young prodigy like him was very valuable. Han Sheqing didn’t think he was qualified to have Zhang Che making a trip just for him.

“Teacher Han!” Zhang Che called out to Han Sheqing, who was walking over with quick steps. Afterwards, he looked at Ma Jihui, Uncle Tai, and the others with a smile, saying silently, -Look, I told you I’m a student from the last cohort! You didn’t believe me, did you?-

Uncle Tai was especially noteworthy. That elder actually thought he was a hoodlum, wanting to sneak into the school to do bad things! How hurtful!
