"Dean, do you have a moment?"
Crack.
The door slowly opened, and a woman of unparalleled beauty emerged. Her eyebrows were like phoenixes, and every smile and frown was captivating.
"It's you, Xiao Nianchu. What's the matter?" Shui Qishuang asked.
"Dean, don't tease me. This is a newly enrolled student at our Skywater Academy."
"Oh?!" Bringing a new student to see her meant they must have something exceptional. Shui Qishuang couldn't help but look at Chen Qingling a few times.
It was those few glances that stirred up waves in her calm heart.
Such a beautiful and pure face, with eyes that were completely unadulterated, free of any impurities. Eyes untouched by 'knowledge'.
This was the most unusual student Shui Qishuang had seen since founding the academy.
Their gazes met, and the atmosphere gradually became strange.
This scene left the female teacher, Nianchu, utterly shocked.
This… this isn't right, is it? This can't be happening. Could they really have that kind of relationship?
That wouldn't be possible given the Dean's personality!
"Dean? Her name is Chen Qingling, and her Martial Soul is the Light Goddess Butterfly, which has never appeared before."
"Light Goddess Butterfly?"
Although she didn't know what this new Martial Soul meant, Shui Qishuang could sense it was extraordinary.
"A forty-three-ranked Soul Ancestor at fourteen years old."
"Fourteen years old? A level forty-three Soul Ancestor?" Shui Qishuang's pupils constricted slightly, and she looked at Chen Qingling again, nodding repeatedly to confirm.
"Not bad, not bad. This year, our Skywater Academy has recruited a genius!"
"Chen Qingling, right? I hope you can shine brightly in your future academy life."
"Um… Principal… I want to ask you a question." Chen Qingling recovered her senses and took a deep breath before speaking.
A smile appeared on Shui Qishuang's face. "What question? Ask away. I'll tell you anything I know."
"Okay, I want to ask, Principal, do you have a lover?"
Shui Qishuang: ???
She had considered all sorts of questions, but she hadn't expected Chen Qingling to ask this one.
"This…" A flicker of loneliness flashed in Shui Qishuang's eyes, but it was quickly masked.
"No, I've always been single. Chen Qingling, why do you ask?"
Upon hearing Shui Qishuang's answer, Chen Qingling lowered her head despondently, biting her lip and clenching her fists tightly.
She knew it… she knew finding her mother wouldn't be easy.
Even before asking, Qingling had prepared herself mentally, but hearing the answer from Dean Shui Qishuang made her feel awful.
Before Chen Qingling could speak, Teacher Nianchu beside her spoke first.
"Dean, she's looking for a close relative she's been separated from for many years."
"I see…" Shui Qishuang felt sympathy for Chen Qingling, realizing she was a single-parent child at such a young age.
Even more unexpectedly, she had embarked on a journey to find her family.
"Do you know what your mother looks like?"
Chen Qingling shook her head. "I don't know. My father told me it happened on a dark and stormy night. Then she abandoned me and my father and disappeared without a trace."
Shui Qishuang fell silent. Truly a pitiful child.
She really didn't know which heartless woman would do such a thing. How awful!
"Let's go back."
"Ah, okay, Director."
After they left, Shui Qishuang silently walked back to the villa, her expression returning to its usual indifference, yet still tinged with a hint of loneliness.
Once, a sincere feeling was placed before her, but she didn't cherish it. Only after missing it did she deeply regret it.
The pain of her teenage years was something that couldn't be healed in a lifetime.
On the other side.
Chen Qingling and Teacher Nianchu didn't say a word on their way back.
Until they were assigned to individual dorms, "This is your dorm."
"Yes, okay…" Chen Qingling was in a bad mood, looking listless. "Sigh, Teacher, I believe you will definitely find it. Don't be too sad, you have to cheer up."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Chen Qingling replied politely and walked into the dorm.
The dorm wasn't big, just a single bedroom, a living room, and a toilet. The living conditions were much better than at Notting Academy.
Chen Qingling lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The Skywater Academy's headmaster wasn't her mother.
Then the only clue was broken.
Chen Qingling didn't understand why there was no information about her mother. If there was even a little bit, she wouldn't have to search aimlessly!
"Sigh... Father... do you really have no memory at all?" Chen Qingling said to herself, her mood low.
She knew that her father must have heard what she had just said.
After all, being able to communicate mentally, he must have known what she had just done, right?
You have to admit, it's true.
Chen Shenge had indeed watched the entire process and sighed.
"Qingling, don't overthink it. Your biggest goal right now is to get stronger, to become as strong as your father. Then you can travel across the continent, and you'll definitely find your mother."
"It's just a matter of time."
Chen Shenge's words successfully lifted Qingling's spirits, and her eyes shone with determination.
"You're right, Father!"
"I can't stop moving forward just because I can't find Mother!"
"As long as I get stronger step by step, and become a Title Douluo!"
"By then, I'll have traveled all over the continent! I don't believe I won't be able to find her!"
"Good, good, good. My daughter is very ambitious."
In a thatched cottage in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Shenge praised his daughter before recalling that dark and windy night thirteen years ago.
That day, he was lying in a chair, napping as usual.
Suddenly, a gust of demonic wind swept in. Before he could even take a look, he lost consciousness.
Vaguely, he could feel something large and soft.
The next day, when Chen Shenge woke up, his back ached, and his entire body felt weak, as if he'd been hollowed out.
Thinking about it here, Chen Shenge couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, "Which heartless woman could have possibly done this!"
...
Skywater Academy.
After Chen Qingling went back to her dorm to rest, discussions about her immediately erupted within Skywater Academy.
"We have a new member in the Skywater Academy family!"
"Hehe, I can't wait to see the new junior sister tomorrow."
"I heard from those who met the junior sister that she's very beautiful."
"Hmph, no matter how beautiful she is, she can't compare to our Skywater's number one beauty, Shui Binger!"
"You can't say that for sure. It's said that the junior sister is exceptionally talented; she's a genius!"
"Jeez, no way. I feel like those two are going to start fighting?"
"Look, Shui Binger is here."
"Big Sis!"
With shouts of greeting, Shui Binger walked over in her high heels, a smile on her face.
"What? You've only just met the junior, and you're already gossiping?"
"Oh, we're just worried the junior will steal your title, Big Sis."
