Chapter 58 - Teacher Nana is gone

Chapter 58: Teacher Nana is gone

Evening…

Lan Xuanyu got off the school bus as fast as he could and while walking, he practiced the movements for the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens with both arms. The more he practiced, the more he felt that this technique contained endless mysteries. Not only was it powerful in its own might but more importantly, it was able to improve his overall physique.

Although he would feel exhausted after completing an entire cycle of practice, he would feel vigorous and lively the next day as though he was constantly improving.

He stood at the door and tapped in the password which was his mother’s birthdate.

“I’m home!” Lan Xuanyu called out and ran into Nana’s room happily. There was a fragrance on his Teacher Nana that he especially liked. It made him always yearn to be near her.

“Teacher Nana, eh, you’re not here!” Lan Xuanyu was puzzled, her entire room was swept clean as though no one had ever lived in it before. He quickly ran to the training room and the toilet, but to no avail, the house remained empty

‘Did Teacher Anna go out?’

Right at this time, a gentle hum suddenly sounded out. A cast of light projected itself in the living room as Nana’s image appeared.

“Xuanyu. Once you’re back, your presence will activate the spirit mark that I have left behind. Your teacher is going away.”

Nana’s face was filled with warmth and unwillingness inside the projection as she raised her hand to cup her face. “Teacher has to leave for some matters. I thought of waiting for you before leaving but I don’t think that I would be that willing if you’re here.”

“Teacher liked you a lot ever since she first saw you and I chose to stay, hoping that I could accompany you as you grow. In the end, good times are shortlived but even so, the memories that we had together will always stay with teacher, and teacher will never ever forget them.”

“Listen to your daddy and mummy. Cultivate according to what teacher has taught you. I left a spirit guidance number which will be extremely expensive since it connects over planets, but when your Spirit Power breaks through the 20th rank, you have to call Teacher no matter what. At that time, Teacher will definitely come back to look for you, regardless of the circumstance. So, work hard to reach the 20th rank.”

“Continue to practice the Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens. When you gain complete mastery over it, you should be able to hold your own ground. Do not cry, you are a man and cannot just shed tears. Despite your young age, for you to stand in front of your mother to protect her that day shows that you are already a man. This is a temporary goodbye. We will definitely meet again.”

“Alright, I’ll stop here. Anymore and teacher will really be unable to leave. I will send the number to your mother and inform her of my departure as well. Goodbye, Xuanyu.”

The projected Nana waved her hands at Lan Xuanyu, while her eyes turned red.

“Teacher Nana…” Lan Xuanyu cried out as he pounced forward only to hug the air. “Teacher Nana, don’t go…”

Heaven Luo City Space center.

While following behind a group of workers and Yun Yan up the spaceship, Nana suddenly froze. She turned and looked in a particular direction.

Yun Yan stood by her side. She just received Nana’s phone call not long after leaving Lan Xuanyu’s home with the team, saying that she could now leave immediately with them. This surprised her but to complete the mission ahead of time was undoubtedly the best.

“What’s wrong, Nana?” Yun Yan asked.

Nana shook her head as a reply. “It’s nothing, let’s go.”

‘Xuanyu, we will definitely meet again.’

…

Nan Cheng guessed that Nana’s departure was definitely related to the terrorists. After all, Nana had saved the son and mother duo from the desperate crisis. She heard about the fireworks that blossomed in the sky and knew that Nana had something to do with it.

Lan Xuanyu remained depressed for an entire week. He truly adored Nana, but her sudden departure had struck a chord in his tender mental state. But, he kept Nana’s words to his heart. So long as he works hard and cultivate to the 20th rank, he would be able to see Teacher Nana again.

At the moment, he was already at the 13th rank and was not too far nor near to the goal. The experience at the Horizon Building taught him the great importance of cultivating.

He cultivated, he trained even harder and feasted on the expensive ingredients that some people would send in daily. His hard work and effort resulted in a huge growth in all of his aspects. The only distressing fact was that his Spirit Power continued to grow at a constant slower pace as before. He was very much slower compared to Ye Lingtong.

Three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

Nan Cheng had been fretful and irritant of late and the reason was simple, Lan Xiao.

Exactly six months had passed since Lan Xiao had left for the mission. Lan Xuanyu was able to graduate from the first grade before entering the holidays but his husband hasn’t made it back. He promised that he would be back to accompany her and her son through the holidays, and bring them out to play but he was a month late, he didn’t even call.

As it was a planet probe, Nan Cheng could only wait for him to initiate the communication. Her worrying state of mind caused her to regret not stopping her husband from going. She promised herself to never allow him on a similar mission in the future.

They had never been apart for so long ever since they knew each other and she really missed him.

Lan Xuanyu naturally missed his daddy as well, and would occasionally ask Nan Cheng when his father would come home. Every time, Nan Cheng’s heart would tense up a few notches.

‘Did something happen to Lan Xiao?’

And so came the last day of school of the second term for the first graders. Heaven Luo planet, Zi Luo’s subsidiary Heaven Luo school.

Lan Xuanyu arrived at school early. His results for the second term had improved by leaps and bounds. Compared to the previous term, he was the first in every aspect in his class. After becoming famous from the combat class, his actual combat capability was ranked at the top and during this period, Ye Lingtong suddenly changed schools. No one knew why but this made him unmatched in the entire first grade.

The teachers simply fixed up their holiday homework, which was a few revisions and some preparation for cultural classes before they added more tasks for cultivation.

Lan Xuanyu recently sensed that he was close to reaching the 14th rank in terms of his Spirit Power. Compared to the time before he started training with Nana, this training speed was relatively faster. In accordance to his speed, he should reach the 20th rank before the age of 10 and compared to his peers, this speed was relatively adequate.

Attaining the 20th rank before the age of 12 was considered as excellent progress. Qiu Yuxin was extremely satisfied with this favorite pupil of hers. He could be considered perfect in all sense. It was impossible for any teachers to dislike him.

Obedient, excellent in academics and actual combat and even owned mutated spirits. Most importantly, he was handsome! His jade-like skin made her have the desire to pinch his cheeks at times but of course, for the sake of appearance, she could not do it! She could only think to herself of how good would it be if she had such daughter so she can try to matchmake them.

Looking at Lan Xuanyu, Qiu Yuxin’s thoughts lingered on.

“Xuanyu, stay for a bit. Teacher wants to talk to you.” Qiu Yuxin waved at Lan Xuanyu.

“Ok, Teacher Qiu.” Lan Xuanyu had just packed his bag and was about to leave but he was stopped by Qiu Yuxin.

“Xuanyu, Teacher has something to tell you. At least you can get prepared over the holidays.” Qiu Yuxin whispered.

“What is it?” Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
