Chương 35: Solutions For Returning

Tao Xue had some questions that he felt should be asked at all costs, because if they were not answered, he wouldn't be able to trust his master as much as if he were told.

He was still a little bit on guard with his master, as he said, "First of all, you don't look like a human from any angle, so what are you? Are you some kind of monster, or a god? You look like a shadow to me, and do you really have a physical form, because you look like a soul or a spirit, so first tell me your species."

All of his respectful attitude was gone, as he said this, which basically translated to questioning his master's existence, as a human, or as any other species. He showed a bit of sarcasm and contempt towards his master, as he said this.

The master, however, was really calm and collected, as he answered, "My species is human, though I don't look the part. At my level, people can change their appearances by a drastic level, and I'm currently in my Void-Shadow form. I prefer this while talking to you."

Tao Xue took a moment to understand, and moved on, "You dob't seem the type that does public help everyday, so you must have a reason for doing this. Why are you helping me?"

The master replied, with a similar expression, "I just saw your talents and decided to help you. Your potential was what made me attract my attention towards you."

Tao Xue was now acquainted with his master, and how he responded to him. Slowly, the doubts in his mind started to vanish, making him respectful towards his master, once again.

Now that he was sure about his master helping him, he moved on towards the Principal's room.

The Principal was close towards Tao Xue, and a reliable person, so he thought that it should be okay to tell him about his master, who himself was okay with this decision of Tao Xue's.

The Principal was told about the master, and he himself 'was quite shocked. Tao Xue had gotten a master of a realm way above Human Realm, which was something totally impossible for any other person of the Human Realm of Cultivation. Tao Xue had such great luck, and yet he was suspicious around his master! This startled the Principal.

Master could be seen by the Principal, and he was still in his Void-Shadow form. He looked quite shady, but he was trustworthy, as the pressure which emanated from him was huge, domineering like that of a mountain, but it wasn't even slightly murderous. He didn't have any bad intentions, as it was clear due to his aura.

Now that Tao Xue had reached the 1st Level of Cultivation, he could go back to the academy, which was what he wanted to do, but he was confused as to how he should make hi appearance. He had to think of a suitable reason, as to why he was out for such a long time, and how was he able to achieve the 1st level while out of the Academy.

If he wasn't able to answer these questions, then people would surely be suspicious, and if some of his friends leak the information about his ability outside, the trouble would befall upon the Academy, not on Tao Xue, himself.

Thinking for a solution was not easy, as Tao Xue sat in the Principal's room, thinking about this, without any answer popping up in his head. The Principal also thought, but neither could find a solution. The reason as to why Tao Xue was out for so long of a time, he should have a reason as firm, or else it would be hard to believe.

The problem was not this, though, but it was how he was able to Cultivate, and also reach the 1st level. If he was out for such a long time, the matter should have been serious, and if a matter would be so serious, that Tao Xue had to be away from the Academy for so long, he shouldn't have had the time to Cultivate. If he had some time left on his hands, and even if he Cultivated, he shouldn't have been able to reach the 1st level so easily.

The matter sure was fishy, because the Principal had not been able to find a single solution until now, which was quite surprising, since he was so experienced a man. Now that it had come to this crucial stage, there was nothing they could think of.

While these two were sweating it out, Master was quietly hovering in the air, looking at them. He had no say in this matter, as he was not to help Tao Xue out in his personal matters, which didn't regard Cultivation.

Master wanted to test Tao Xue break out of this tough situation by himself, without his help.

Tao Xue was in a pickle, as he asked the Principal, "Principal sir, we don't have any options left, so I think we should think about this later, as it will be of no avail for us to keep on thinking about the same thing for more time, if we couldn't think of a solution now."

The Principal thought for a while, and smiled. He seemed as if he had found a solution to the problem. He looked at Tao Xue, and smiled lightly.

He said, "I know of one person who can solve this issue. I'm not sure, though, but I think he has better chances than us. He has got more experience in these kind of matters, as he has dealt with them, previously. Come with me, I'll take you to him."

Tao Xue was a little excited, as he was about to meet another important person from the Academy, and he was also a little curious, as to who this person was. He had figured out that he must be someone with quite a position, if the Principal referred to him in such a way.

Tao Xue was no longer able to hold back his curiosity, as he asked the Principal, "Who is this man?"
