"If I were to become the Green Emperor one day, I would make the peach blossoms bloom everywhere." This is from a poem by a poet in the Tang Dynasty...
In an ordinary classroom, a teacher was explaining a poem. The students below were writing down notes. There were more than thirty students in this class. In a seat at the back, a young man's body trembled slightly and he slowly raised his head. His messy bangs covered his forehead, and his delicate face was full of confusion.
He woke up from a deep sleep, with familiar yet strange words lingering in his ears.
"Am I back?"
After a long while, a soft sigh rose in his heart. Qin Xuan was certain of one fact.
He stared at his rather childish hands, a bit dazed. His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, as if they contained endless vicissitudes. Even the collapse of the sky and the shattering of the earth wouldn't make them change at all.
But here, no one would notice. Only Qin Xuan was fixedly looking at the teacher in the classroom, remaining silent for a long time.
The familiar yet strange memories surged up from the corner of his mind, causing ripples in Qin Xuan's heart that had been calm for countless years. The Green Emperor was originally named Qin Xuan. After entering the world of cultivation, he changed his name to Qin Changqing. He was the lord of a region in the Immortal Realm, feared by all ethnic groups. In just ten thousand years, he achieved the position of the Great Emperor. He was extremely talented and surpassed his peers. He overcame the tribulation and became an immortal in a thousand years, and ascended to the position of the Great Emperor in ten thousand years. He was once praised as "the number one in a hundred thousand years" in the world of cultivation. Later, when he entered the Immortal Realm, he suppressed countless prodigies in the Immortal Realm within just ten thousand years. Finally, he obtained the inheritance of the Green Emperor in the "Immortal Emperor Palace", dominated a region, and was worshiped as the Green Emperor by all ethnic groups in the Immortal Realm. Since then, he had achieved immortality and became the Great Emperor of the human race.
Now, he had returned to his youth. Time had reshaped, and he had become an ordinary senior high school student on Earth again. "The Burial Immortal Tribulation, the difficulty of becoming a god. In the end, I still failed," Qin Xuan sighed in his heart. Recalling the past, he felt a sense of sadness. "If my imperial will hadn't wavered at the last moment, how could the Burial Immortal Tribulation stop me? I could have broken through the immortal-god passage that had lasted for hundreds of millions of years. What a pity..."
During the final great tribulation of becoming a god, his imperial will, which he had thought was as solid as a rock, unexpectedly showed a flaw due to a moment of carelessness. As a result, the great tribulation invaded. After going through three thousand illusory worlds, his imperial will finally collapsed. If he hadn't given up all his cultivation and ten thousand years of foundation at the last moment and fought desperately by throwing himself into the long river of time, he would have probably perished in the Burial Immortal Tribulation.
Since Qin Changqing started cultivating, he had never been inferior to others and had always lived up to his deeds. His Dao Heart had been down-to-earth from the very beginning and couldn't have any flaws. It was even more so after entering the Immortal Realm. His transformed immortal heart and imperial will were as stable as the mountains in the Immortal Realm. He never expected that in the end, it was his immortal heart and imperial will that made him fall short and brought him to a desperate situation, almost causing him to perish in the Burial Immortal Tribulation. However, at the last moment, Qin Xuan suddenly realized that his biggest flaw was when he was still a mortal before cultivating. Although that period of time was short, like a drop in the ocean compared to his ten thousand years of life, it left the deepest regret engraved in his heart that couldn't be erased even by ten thousand years of time.
Now that he was reborn in his youth, his body was empty. The immortal power that could have crushed mountains and rivers and made the stars and the moon fall with a wave of his hand was no longer there. The immortal weapons, imperial artifacts, and even supernatural powers and Dharma forms had all disappeared. But instead, he showed a faint smile.
"It's good to be back!"
Too many things had happened in the past. He even changed his name because he thought he didn't deserve the name Qin Xuan, so he changed it to Chen Changqing. Now that he had returned to his youth, he would never let those regrets and remorse happen again. Outside the window, the clouds dispersed, and a ray of warm sunlight shone through the bright window. The golden light shone on Qin Xuan's face...
After class, Qin Xuan was reading a book when he heard a soft call at the door.
"Qin Xuan!"
The pleasant voice interrupted Qin Xuan's thoughts.
Looking up, he saw a pretty girl. She was wearing a pink short-sleeved top and a white skirt that reached her knees. Her long hair hung down to her shoulders, and her skin was fair. She was pure and lovely, and her sweet smile attracted everyone's attention and made it hard for them to look away. It was easy to see that with her good looks, she was bound to be a beauty that many young talents would admire in a few years.
Mu Xue'er!
Qin Xuan's eyes were as calm as water as he remembered the girl's identity. She was one of the school beauties in his high school. She was outstanding in appearance, came from a wealthy family, and had excellent academic performance. She was admitted to a prestigious university with a top ten score in the city in the college entrance examination later. She was also the goddess Qin Xuan had dreamed of in his previous life and whom he had pursued for two whole years.
Now, Mu Xue'er was his girlfriend! In the eyes of others, it might be because of Qin Xuan's sincerity that he finally won her heart. Only he himself knew that this so-called girlfriend was just a joke. She just regarded him as a toy for entertainment. She even humiliated him in public at a birthday party, which finally made him so dispirited that he lost interest in his studies. In the college entrance examination, he only got into a third-rate university, which made his parents feel regretful.
Qin Xuan stood up. Amid the envious gazes of everyone, he walked to the door and said indifferently, "What's the matter?"
Mu Xue'er was stunned. She had originally planned to endure Qin Xuan's embarrassing look of being overjoyed, but now she found that Qin Xuan was acting contrary to his usual self! This couldn't help but make Mu Xue'er a bit unhappy in her heart, but she didn't care much and smiled instead, "It's my birthday party at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow. I hope you can come."
Qin Xuan didn't expose her false face and just replied indifferently, "I got it." Mu Xue'er frowned slightly and stared at Qin Xuan's delicate face, trying to figure out what trick he was playing.
Was he playing hard to get?
Mu Xue'er was a bit disappointed. She sneered in her heart. Perhaps for Qin Xuan, being able to think of playing hard to get was already quite good.
"Then I'll go!" Mu Xue'er waved with a smile and walked to one side of the corridor very gracefully. There was another girl there, looking a bit arrogant and dissatisfied.
"Xue'er, this guy is acting a bit strange. I mean, why did you choose such a person as your boyfriend?" The girl beside Mu Xue'er said with a bit of contempt, "In my opinion, Wang Jiahao is much better than him."
The Wang Jiahao she mentioned was also a transfer student in the senior year of Mingde High School. It was said that his parents opened a fairly large company in the city, with a family property worth tens of millions. And Wang Jiahao was the only son. He was tall and handsome, making many girls admire him. "Isn't it just right to choose him?" Mu Xue'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "If I hadn't lost the bet with Xiao Wu, why would I find a boyfriend? You know how strict my parents are. Do you think I'm like you, changing boyfriends as easily as changing clothes?"
"Cut! He's just a poor loser. He's lucky!" Zhao Xiaoyu glanced at Qin Xuan with a bit of sarcasm, feeling that Mu Xue'er was not worth it.
Although Qin Xuan in the distance didn't hear their words, he also saw the contempt on Zhao Xiaoyu's face from the corner of his eye. But he didn't care at all. In the past, so many peerless beauties had wanted to get close to him. He had even suppressed the number one beauty in the world of cultivation and the female emperor in the Immortal Realm with his own hands. Even an ordinary maid in the Green Emperor's Immortal Palace was much better than this Mu Xue'er.
Mu Xue'er's appearance might be considered good in the eyes of others, but for him, the Green Emperor, she wasn't even worthy of his attention.
