Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 844: All the Truth

...Li Qingran's mentor was a 27th-rank Great Battle Master.

Although her strength was indeed no longer a match for many students, because she was extremely responsible during teaching, always considered things from the students' perspective, and never fawned over or discriminated against students due to their different backgrounds, she was highly respected by both Li Qingran and the other students.

However, being summoned by the Vice Dean was ultimately a major event.

The female mentor kept recalling whether she had made any mistakes; otherwise, why would the Vice Dean suddenly want to see such a minor figure like her?

On the other hand, Li Qingran comforted her all the way.

...

"Dean, you... what did you want to see me for?"

Although Li Qingran's comfort had made the female mentor slightly less worried, when she pushed open the door to Feng Wuyu's office, she still couldn't help feeling a bit nervous.

"You're here? Please, have a seat." Feng Wuyu gestured with his eyes towards the sofa opposite his desk.

Li Qingran and the female mentor sat opposite him, both sitting properly and obediently, looking exactly like elementary school students in class.

"One of you has been at the academy for ten years, the other for less than half a year. The rules of my academy are clear to you both." Feng Wuyu said seriously, "At all times, we must prioritize the students. As mentors, we must not only teach them knowledge and enhance their strength, but also elevate their understanding and character.

We must prevent them from taking reckless risks for the sake of power, or paying prices they shouldn't pay.

Improving strength cannot take shortcuts. Every bit of growth in Battle Power is accumulated through blood and sweat. Do you understand these things?"

The female mentor straightened her back and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Li Qingran also quickly straightened her back, her expression serious, "Dean, I understand!"

"Good!" With the tone set, Feng Wuyu got straight to the point, "Li Qingran, what you used today was indeed your First Battle Technique, right?

But I remember your previous First Battle Technique wasn't the one you used today. Also, your first World Ring should have been a yellow World Ring. When did it turn purple?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Qingran remained very calm, but the female mentor beside her was dumbfounded, staring blankly at Feng Wuyu, "Dean, you... what are you talking about?"

She hadn't had time to watch Li Qingran's previous match, and yesterday's exam papers weren't graded yet.

Hearing Feng Wuyu's words now, only one thought crossed her mind—the Dean is getting quite old, they say when people get old their minds don't work as well...

In this situation, could it be... he's gone mad?

"What's with that look in your eyes?" Feng Wuyu was a bit angry, "Don't you understand your own student's situation?"

"I do understand." The female mentor said earnestly, "Qingran is my favorite student, I definitely understand. Her World Ring was one I took her to hunt for myself. And the effects of her Battle Techniques, when to use them for maximum power, how to combine these techniques to counter other Battle Masters—I taught her all of that hand in hand!"

Feng Wuyu: "..."

He looked at Li Qingran, who was innocently staring at the ceiling, and sighed, "Li Qingran, release your first World Ring, will you?"

Hearing this, Li Qingran didn't resist. She directly activated her first World Ring. A deep purple halo spread through the office, causing the expression on the female mentor's face to gradually stiffen.

She wasn't stupid. She didn't question whether this was Li Qingran's third World Ring. Anyone with a bit of experience could see this was definitely the first World Ring, located in the innermost layer.

"Li Qingran, you... what is this..."

She didn't understand.

Just yesterday, she had even given Li Qingran extra private tutoring. At that time, Li Qingran's first World Ring was still yellow!

How could it, after just one night without supervision, directly become a purple World Ring? She had never heard of a World Ring increasing its year level by itself just from sleeping!

If that were possible, she'd rather sleep every day, sleep until the heavens and earth went dark!

"Li Qingran, I don't suspect you of using any illicit means."

Seeing the female mentor's expression, Feng Wuyu knew this mentor was also clueless, knowing nothing.

So he shifted his main focus to Li Qingran, guiding her patiently, "It's just that, as the academy's dean, I need to have sufficient understanding of any abnormal situations involving students."

"So, the Dean just wants to know how my World Ring and Battle Technique changed?"

Li Qingran blinked her big eyes, her obedient appearance like a little rabbit that had just stolen some carrots.

This made even Feng Wuyu feel a bit guilty, wondering if he was being too harsh.

"Yes." He nodded, "If the method by which you obtained these improvements is harmless, that's a good thing.

If there's a problem with this method, discovering it early and stopping it in time means everything can still be remedied.

You're still young, you don't understand. The Canglan World is vast and rich in resources, but there are many taboos that we human Battle Masters must not touch.

To give the simplest, most understandable example—do you know about Evil Gods? Being tempted by an Evil God can also bring extremely strong improvements in a short time, but in the end, Battle Masters who follow Evil Gods become nourishment for them."

Li Qingran's female mentor was also frightened. She grabbed Li Qingran's hand, her face full of worry, "Qingran, tell the truth. The Dean won't harm you. Pies don't just fall from the sky..."

Li Qingran thought to herself that pies indeed don't fall from the sky.

But her Husband's embrace is full of pies, and she can eat them as she pleases.

"Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. I just had a dream, and then I became like this."

"A dream?" Seeing the clarity in Li Qingran's eyes, Feng Wuyu frowned, "What kind of dream?"

"I dreamed of a handsome man dressed in black, holding a sword. He had flowing, long white hair. The aura around him felt particularly familiar, his voice was especially gentle. Being by his side felt like being melted in warm sunlight, giving a great sense of security, hehe..."

As she spoke, Li Qingran's pretty face flushed red, her eyes filled with longing, and she even revealed a lovesick smile on her face.

The female mentor looked at this scene in shock.

She knew Li Qingran was recognized as the aloof goddess of the academy. Who could make Li Qingran show such an expression?

Even she, as Li Qingran's mentor, had never seen it before!

"Ahem, was he your father?" Feng Wuyu's mouth twitched slightly.

"How could that be!" Li Qingran pouted, "Definitely not my father, but definitely someone very important to me. The World Ring was given to me by him. He also told me to absorb it quickly, that it could enhance my strength.

I originally thought it was just a dream, but after I woke up, the World Ring was right under my pillow."

Everything Li Qingran said was the complete truth; she just didn't reveal Chen Huaian's identity.

Feng Wuyu was, after all, a Battle Saint. Whether Li Qingran was telling the truth or not was something he could tell at a glance.

It was precisely because he knew Li Qingran wasn't lying that he felt increasingly puzzled and uneasy in his heart.

Bestowing a World Ring in a dream?

And a World Ring that could be absorbed directly, with no negative side effects, even able to replace Battle Techniques...

This sounded a bit like the legendary God-bestowed World Ring?
