Zhao Jiaqi came out of the bathroom and froze when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao crying on the sofa. She hurried over and hugged her tightly, “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Who bullied you?”
Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her voice choked, “It’s nothing.”
“Really?” Zhao Jiaqi still wasn’t convinced and asked again, “Is it because of Lu Chen?”
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and said softly, “No.”
“Then what is it?” Zhao Jiaqi pressed.
Gu Xiaoxiao bit her lip but remained silent.
Zhao Jiaqi sighed and gently patted her back, “You, always sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. But remember this, no matter what happens, you’ll always be my most important sister.”
Gu Xiaoxiao raised her head and gave a forced smile, “Thank you, Jiaqi.”
She wasn’t someone who could hide her emotions well. She knew she must look miserable now, but she didn’t mind Zhao Jiaqi seeing her like this. After all, Zhao Jiaqi wasn’t just her closest friend, but also the only one she could open her heart to.
Zhao Jiaqi ruffled her hair, then suddenly remembered something, “Oh right, I almost forgot. Tomorrow night we have a class reunion.”
Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, “Class reunion?”
Zhao Jiaqi nodded, “I just remembered it too. Do you remember Mu Beixuan from our university? He’s the one who informed me.”
“Mu Beixuan?” Gu Xiaoxiao’s brows tightened slightly.
“Yes. Yesterday, he even reminded me to bring you along. But I haven’t agreed yet. What do you think? Do you want to go?” Zhao Jiaqi asked.
Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, “I don’t want to go.”
She remembered who Mu Beixuan was. Back in university, he had pursued her for quite a long time. But she never liked him and always rejected him. Later, he stopped pestering her, and she thought he had given up. Unexpectedly, it seemed he hadn’t.
If the matter with Lu Chen hadn’t happened, maybe she would still have the mood to attend a reunion. But now… it was better not to go. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“Alright then, I won’t go either,” Zhao Jiaqi shrugged. She had wanted to take Gu Xiaoxiao out to relax, but since she didn’t want to, she wouldn’t push her.
“I’ll just message Mu Beixuan and tell him neither of us will go.” Zhao Jiaqi pulled out her phone and began typing.
Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, then stood up, “Jiaqi, I’m a little tired. I’ll head to my room to rest first. You should rest early too.”
Zhao Jiaqi looked at her thin back and sighed softly, “I can’t let her go on like this. I have to find a way to make her happy again…”
…
At the same time, a meteor streaked across the night sky and landed in an ordinary residential area in Yanjing City.
The next moment, a slender young man of about 1.7 meters with short messy hair suddenly opened his eyes wide. His face changed drastically as he shouted, “The Immortal Path is severed! The Immortal Path is severed!!”
Only after shouting did he realize the surrounding environment had changed drastically. He looked around in confusion, his brows furrowing tightly. “This is… my bedroom back on Blue Star?”
Looking at the familiar yet strange scene, his heart trembled. “Didn’t I fail my Ascension Tribulation? How am I here? Could it be… I’ve been reborn!?”
The thought made his brows knit even tighter. He quickly checked himself, and after a while, his face lit up with wild joy. He had really been reborn—and not just anywhere, but back on Blue Star!
He was Mu Beixuan, once known as the North Xuan Heavenly Venerable, a peerless cultivator whose power shook the heavens and the earth. He had been just one step away from becoming an immortal, holding great prestige in the cultivation world.
In his previous life, during a class reunion, he had confessed to Gu Xiaoxiao, the girl he secretly loved for years. But he was cruelly rejected. Heartbroken, he threw himself into the river, ready to end his life. Yet instead of dying, he was transported to another world.
That world was a realm of cultivation. There, he possessed the strongest innate talent—the Pure Yang Sacred Body! With this unparalleled physique, it took him only 300 years to reach the Tribulation Realm. Once he succeeded in the tribulation, he would ascend to the Immortal Realm.
But unfortunately, in that world, the Immortal Path was broken. Without any chance to ascend, his tribulation was doomed to fail. He thought he would never see this beautiful blue planet again, but fate had brought him back through rebirth!
Just as he expected, all his boundless spiritual power was gone. The cultivation methods, divine abilities, and nurtured treasures had vanished. He was now nothing but a fragile mortal body—so weak that even an ordinary adult could knock him down.
Yet instead of despair, Mu Beixuan smiled calmly. “So what if I lost my power? I can cultivate again. Treasures can be refined anew. As long as I still have the cultivation methods in my mind, with my Pure Yang Sacred Body, returning to the peak is only a matter of time!”
“Though Blue Star’s spiritual energy is thin, within three months I can reach the 13th stage Qi Refining Realm. At that point, in this world without cultivators, I’ll already be practically invincible. Aside from some ancient martial families and hot weapons to watch out for, the rest won’t be worth mentioning.”
Opening his eyes, brilliance flickered within them. “And all those regrets I couldn’t resolve in my last life—since I’ve been given another chance, this time I will make up for them all!”
His gaze hardened with determination. The Immortal Path was severed in the other world, but here on Blue Star, it might still exist. In this life, he would not only resolve his regrets but also rise to become the strongest of this world and ascend to the Immortal Realm!
And the first regret… would be fixed starting tomorrow, with his confession.
After sorting through his memories, he realized he had been reborn to the very day before he confessed to Gu Xiaoxiao. That was the turning point of his fate. Because of his failed confession, he despaired, jumped into the river, and was transported to that other world.
During his cultivation in that world, every time he recalled that night’s rejection, his heart ached endlessly. A few times, it nearly gave birth to inner demons.
Gu Xiaoxiao was his first love, the girl he had liked all through his four years of university. She had carried the weight of his entire youth. In his last life, he had finally gathered the courage to confess at the class reunion, only to be rejected in front of everyone.
But now that he had been reborn, there was no way he would fail again!
He sneered inwardly, “I, the North Xuan Heavenly Venerable, how could I possibly fail in confessing?”
“Gu Xiaoxiao, this time… you can only belong to me!” Mu Beixuan narrowed his eyes, determination gleaming in the depths of his dark pupils.
Just then, his phone rang with a Feixin notification. He froze for a moment before realizing it had been a long time since he’d used a phone. The feeling was almost unfamiliar. With a sigh, he opened Feixin.
“It should be a reply from Zhao Jiaqi, Gu Xiaoxiao’s best friend. The message must be saying they’ll attend the reunion too.” He smirked confidently. With his knowledge of how events unfolded and the power he was about to regain, how could he possibly lose?
But when he opened the message, the two short lines left him dumbfounded.
[Mu Beixuan, Xiaoxiao and I don’t plan to attend the reunion. Thank you for your invitation.]
Mu Beixuan was stunned. “What’s going on? Why is this completely different from before I was reborn?!”
