The Young Swordsman of Dalu

After being discharged from the hospital, Wenfei went to the cemetery to offer incense to his grandmother and tell her that he had returned.

On Wenfei's first day back at school, his teachers and classmates held a welcome ceremony for him. Among the familiar smiling faces, suddenly someone appeared who Wenfei felt shouldn't be there. He looked at the girl in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Hey! Wenfei, let me introduce you. This is Li Wei, a new student who just transferred to our class!" the homeroom teacher said.

“Li Wei is!” Wen Fei stared wide-eyed at the girl in front of him in disbelief.

"Hello!" Li Wei said politely.

“Hello!” Wenfei said.

"Welcome back to the team!" Li Wei said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Wenfei said.

With a month and a half left before the college entrance examination, he wanted to give it his all. He checked into the school and immediately began a frantic tutoring session.

"Hey! Wenfei!" Li Wei called out.

Wenfei was still sitting on the stone bench, wearing headphones and frantically repeating English. He didn't hear Li Wei calling him at all.

Li Wei walked up to Wen Fei and patted him on the shoulder. Wen Fei was startled. When he saw Li Wei standing in front of him, he immediately took off his headphones and asked, "Did you come back with me?"

"Wenfei! What are you saying? I don't understand!" Li Wei stared at Wenfei in astonishment.

"You really didn't know me before?" Wenfei asked.

"I only got to know you after you came here," Li Wei said.

"Where did you transfer from?" Wenfei asked.

“That place in the Northeast!” Li Wei said.

“Northeast! That’s it!” Wenfei said.

"Why are you so suspicious?" Li Wei said.

“Excuse me, but you look a bit like a friend of mine,” Wenfei said.

"Really? What does she do?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"She's a kind, lively, and loyal girl!" Wenfei said. "And she's very pretty!"

“Just like me, I’m a girl like that too,” Li Wei said.

"Does someone really praise themselves like that to their face?" Wenfei felt that she really was the Li Wei he had met in another time and space.

“I’m never modest!” Li Wei said.

"Your grades are good. Which university are you planning to apply to?" Wenfei asked.

“National University of Defense Technology!” Li Wei said.

"Really?" Wenfei asked.

“This has always been my dream since I was a child! What about you?” Li Wei said.

“Me too!” Wenfei said.

"You need to work harder! After all, you've fallen behind in so many courses, and you don't have much time left," Li Wei said.

"I will try my best!" Wenfei said firmly.

"Let's work together! Keep it up!" Li Wei said.

"Keep it up!" Wenfei said.

Aside from going to the toilet and eating, Wenfei only sleeps two or three hours a day. He spends the rest of his time studying like crazy. Wentao went to the school several times to ask him to go home, but he refused. Later, Wenyu brought the food she had prepared at home to her brother. As soon as Wenfei got the food, he rushed Wenyu home. Wenyu originally wanted to have a good talk with her brother, but seeing how hard he was studying, she didn't want to bother him.

A month and a half passed quickly amidst intense study. With his indomitable spirit, Wenfei faced the challenges head-on, reviewed the entire three-year high school curriculum from beginning to end, and worked through all kinds of questions before nervously entering the examination hall.

After the college entrance examination, Wenfei rested at his home in the city for a few days. After having a gathering with his teachers and classmates, he told Wentao that he wanted to stay at his old house in the countryside for a few days. Wentao couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he prepared his daily necessities and sent him back. Wenyu also insisted on going back with him, but her mother wouldn't allow it, saying that she still had many extracurricular classes to attend. Wenfei returned to the old house alone.

Before leaving, Wenfei asked Wenyu for the green thumb ring back. Wenfei took the green thumb ring back to the old house, wanting to verify whether he could still travel back in time.

Wenfei returned to the old house on the fifteenth of the month. Wentao put him down, gave him a few instructions, and then left.

Wenfei stayed alone in the room. The house had been uninhabited for a long time and was covered in dust. Wenfei took the feather duster that his grandmother used when she was alive, dusted off the dust, and wiped it with a damp cloth. By the time he finished cleaning, it was already evening. Wenfei boiled a kettle of water in the kitchen, cooked a packet of instant noodles, ate a little, and then it got dark.

Wenfei walked to his grandmother's room and looked at the room, which was exactly the same as when his grandmother left. He felt as if his grandmother was still by his side. The bright moonlight had already shone into the room through the gauze window. Wenfei took out the green thumb ring from his pocket and waited for the full moon.

Moonlight streamed into the room. Wenfei looked out and saw the moon hanging on the window. He raised the green thumb ring high, and the moonlight shone through it. Soon, the room lit up, and Wenfei saw the image reflected from the green thumb ring, hanging on the wall like a movie.

Wenfei saw his second brother, Wenjie, and Liang Feiyan find Liang Shixian, who had been away from home for over a decade, in the desolate northern desert. Shangguan Xingyun returned to Yin Shuo's side on the eastern border of the Great Lu Kingdom, guarding the northeastern border together. Li Linlie and his wife continued to guard the northwestern border of the Great Lu Kingdom. Li Chaoyang handed over Wenxian Pavilion to the younger generation and went on a journey across the world. Ji Wu and Jin Yuanying returned to the far north and stayed there, spending their remaining days peacefully in the company of snow pythons. Nangong Xun stayed at the Feng Family Manor. Shou Shangxing returned to Fengyi Mountain with his disciple, who claimed to be the number one swordsman in the northern desert. Zhou Shiyao was trying hard to learn how to be a good emperor. Murong Li traveled to every corner of the Northern Dynasty, issuing new policies and striving to make the people live a happy life. Wen Tao became a leisurely prince, spending his days by his mother's side.

As Wenfei watched the scene unfold before him, tears streamed down his face. He was gratified that the people in his heart were all doing well in another time and space.

Wen Fei suddenly remembered, where was Li Wei? Why couldn't he see her? Where did she go? Could it be that she really traveled back in time with him?

In late July, Wenfei received his college entrance examination notice and was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology as he wished. On the day he enrolled, he met Li Weishi. Li Weishi waved to him at the gate and Wenfei walked quickly to her side.

"You're here pretty early!" Wenfei said.

“I heard from the teacher that you passed the exam! So, I’ve been waiting for you at the door!” Li Wei said.

"Let's go in!" Wenfei said.

"Hello! Welcome to the National University of Defense Technology!"

Wen Fei stared in astonishment at the person in front of him, and blurted out, "Second Brother!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! He calls you Second Brother, junior, you're already homesick after just arriving!"

"Sister Feiyan!" Wenfei called out.

How did you know my name?

"I'm Wenfei! It's nice to meet you all!" Wenfei snapped out of his daze.

“I’m Wenjie, we might even be family!” Wenjie said.

“I am Liang Feiyan!” Liang Feiyan said.

"I am Li Weishi! I hope my senior brothers and sisters will take good care of me in the future!" Li Weishi said.

"Definitely!"

As the group arrived at the dormitory entrance, Wenfei saw a familiar face again.

“Miss Shangguan!” Wen Fei said.

"You know me?" Shangguan Xingyun asked.

"You are a role model for our National University of Defense Technology. It's hard not to know you!" Yin Shuo said.

"Yin Shuo! Don't exaggerate in front of your juniors!" Shangguan Xingyun said.

"The National University of Defense Technology welcomes you!"

Wenfei couldn't believe that they had traveled through time and space to meet here again. He believed that he would experience a different scene here, but the world of martial arts in his heart would always remain.

"We'll meet again in the martial world!" Wen Fei thought to himself.
