Chapter 79

After a rather chaotic period, Ning Yue finally returned to his normal routine of going home and attending school every day.

Ning Yue had reverted to his old self, looking no different from an ordinary middle school student.

Anyone who lives for several hundred years, witnessing the changing times and experiencing national upheavals, will gradually have their mindset altered. Their "heart" will slowly age, losing passion and vitality, and even becoming resistant to change.

When time can erase everything, no matter how hard one strives to achieve a goal, it will be quietly erased by time, leaving no trace. Everyone will eventually begin to doubt whether what they have done has any meaning.

The world is constantly changing, and so are the times. The older a person is, the more they tend to resist these changes, preferring to cling to outdated ideas and act according to old ways.

But such people will ultimately be swept into the dustbin of history.

The most important concept in life is that if one cannot change their old mindset, even with extraordinary abilities, they will be eliminated by the times.

Just like the oldest deities, who possess the power accumulated over the ages, are often overthrown by new deities. This is not a matter of strength but of mindset! Outdated mindsets will inevitably be replaced by new ones, a trend that cannot be avoided or stopped by any force.

Ning Yue uses his middle school student identity to act and think, not just to play the part of a young person, but to start from a "pure heart," shedding the burden of centuries-old outdated mindsets, breaking free from the cocoon, and re-cognizing the world.

This is actually also a method to regain power, something that ordinary people cannot understand at such a profound level.

Ning Yue also dislikes the old, calculating, and decaying way of thinking, and he does not like bringing the rigid, outdated, and stale ideas from hundreds of years ago into the present.

So, before giving up this identity, he still wants to be "Ning Yue"!

He strives to transform himself, from his behavior to his thoughts, even his soul, into Ning Yue, rather than thinking from the perspective of Yan Jifeng.

However, when he reappeared on campus as Ning Yue, the troubles of Ning Yue also returned.

Although Lu Wenyin considers herself Ning Yue's official girlfriend, she dares not publicly acknowledge their relationship on campus. Therefore, on the second day back at school, Ning Yue encountered a minor but significant problem.

His deskmate Guan Ying's "ex-boyfriend" Li Hui, after finally confirming his "ex-husband" status, angrily confronted Ning Yue. He chose the most foolish way, bringing over a dozen small-time thugs from inside and outside the school to block Ning Yue's path after school.

Ning Yue looked at these unreliable-looking teenagers, couldn't help but touch his nose, and waved at Li Hui, asking, "You look very angry. Is it because of Guan Ying?"

Li Hui laughed in anger and said with hatred, "You still have the nerve to mention Guan Ying? Don't think I don't know. Besides Guan Ying, you've sent text messages to other girls. You're a two-timing bastard! How dare you deceive Guan Ying's feelings? I won't let you off!"

Ning Yue hurriedly said, "This is a huge misunderstanding. You know, this was caused by my cousin Pang Qian..."

Before Ning Yue could explain clearly, a very arrogant-looking thug spat out his cigarette and asked, "You're Pang Qian's cousin?"

Ning Yue nodded, and at least eight of the dozen thugs immediately raised their hands, shouting, "Cousin Ning Yue, we didn't know it was you. This bastard didn't say anything. Whatever happens to Boss Pang Qian is our business. Li Hui, you bastard, Cousin playing with your girlfriend is a sign of respect! How dare you still be unhappy? Brothers, beat him up..."

Li Hui didn't even have time to change his angry expression before he was pushed to the ground by the thugs he had brought, and one by one, they piled on top of him, causing a chaotic scene.

Ning Yue watched this group of thugs who didn't follow the script and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. He really didn't expect that Pang Qian, who had been "missing" for so long, would still leave him some "legacy." People often brag, "Just mention my name, and it will work." But in reality, most people's names don't work, but clearly, Pang Qian's name was exceptionally effective among these thugs.

Just as Ning Yue was about to go over and pull the thugs apart, his phone rang. He saw a strange number on the lit screen and couldn't help but sigh, pressing the answer button.

Sure enough, it was Pang Qian's voice on the other end, asking a question that would seem bizarre to an ordinary person: how to capture a flying demon beast.

Ning Yue casually outlined a plan and told his cousin everything. Before he could ask about Pang Qian's situation, his cousin had already hung up, and when he tried to call back, the phone was off.

"This guy really doesn't let me have a moment's peace. It seems he's doing well in the dark training camp, probably in the field training phase."

When Ning Yue pulled all the thugs apart and saw Li Hui, who was beaten to a pulp, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, saying, "I didn't have any intentions toward Guan Ying. It was Pang Qian who used my phone to send group messages, causing a big misunderstanding. This..."

Ning Yue looked at Li Hui, whose eyes were full of hatred, and gave up on further explanation. Even if he were beaten to this extent, it would be impossible for them to shake hands and make peace. Of course, he wasn't afraid of a middle school student's anger. Li Hui, an ordinary student, would at most curse behind his back, and the anger would dissipate in a few days.

Li Hui pushed everyone away and walked off alone. The thugs, who had taken money from Li Hui, felt somewhat guilty for beating him up, but once Li Hui was far away, they no longer thought about him. They surrounded Ning Yue and asked, "Cousin, when will Boss Pang Qian come back? We all miss him. With Boss Pang Qian around, no students or thugs in the area dared to mess with us. Without him, we feel very oppressed."

Ning Yue could only sigh and say, "He probably won't come back."

He had nothing more to say to these people, so he shook his head and walked away on his own.

Just as Ning Yue left the crowd, a black car followed him quietly, trailing behind him all the way...
