Ch. 2 – Back

"This is how death feels ..."

Xiao Chen could feel his gaze slowly darkening, for him his last sight of the face of the most beautiful girl in the martial world could be said to be an achievement as well. Xiao Chen was at least able to avenge his sect before he died, there was no longer any remorse.

"Is it true that there are no more regrets?"

Xiao Chen felt like laughing, because he felt stupid. Who is he trying to lie to? There were so many regrets in his life that he couldn't fix but now regretting it was useless.

"Everything is too late, except for myself to be able to turn back time ... What kind of stupid thoughts do I have."

Now that Xiao Chen felt like he was in the dark, the pain throughout his body also slowly disappeared indicating that he was starting to go to the afterlife.

"Teacher ... Father, Mother ... I'm coming ..."

When Xiao Chen began to choose to surrender and give up everything suddenly a bright blue light appeared in front of him.

"Oh, is this the door to the afterlife?"

Before Xiao Chen had time to think any further, the bright blue light grew bigger and closer to him. Xiao Chen wanted to observe the light further but when the blue light hit his body, it seemed to enter him.

Xiao Chen's body then emitted a bright blue light before his gaze darkened again, but this time his whole body felt pain again even though it wasn't as bad as before.

"Ouch! Ouch! What happened?!" Xiao Chen tried to rebel from the pain he felt, shouldn't he have already died? Why does he still have to feel this pain?

When Xiao Chen struggled further, he realized he could open his eyes and found himself lying there staring at the star-filled night sky.

"I'm not dead?" Xiao Chen couldn't believe it, he tried to change his position to sit down but his whole body ached and it was difficult to move. Xiao Chen was sure he had died and this place also felt strange to him, could it be that the afterlife was different from what had been said in the notebooks Xiao Chen thought.

"Oh, have you regained consciousness? I thought it would take a few more days. "

Xiao Chen then found someone sitting in front of the fireplace not far from him, a young man wearing an iron mask to cover most of his face. Even though only a pair of eyes and a mouth could be seen, Xiao Chen could recognize this person.

“Teacher Fang, why are you still wearing a mask in the afterlife? Does Master's good looks still cause problems in this realm? " Xiao Chen immediately recognized this young man as Fang An, someone who brought him into the world of martial arts.

Fang An, who initially approached Xiao Chen with a gentle smile, now stopped his steps and became vigilant, “How do you know that I am surnamed Fang, a youth? Who are you?"

Xiao Chen frowned when he heard Fang An call him a young man. Xiao Chen examined his body, his hands looked much smaller and his legs had also become very short.

“What the hell…” Xiao Chen held his head which started to hurt, he was sure he had been killed by such a terrible wound but now he was in a situation that he was starting to remember, “Isn't this the first time I met Teacher Fang? I returned to the past? How could it be?"

Xiao Chen didn't understand his condition, his head ached and he started screaming hysterically. No sane person could understand the situation that had happened to him. Fang An, who was alert, turned into pity because he saw Xiao Chen's condition.

"Calm yourself down, everything will be fine ..." Fang An hugged Xiao Chen who was hysterical, strangely the hug calmed Xiao Chen down after a while.

Fang An did not force Xiao Chen to tell further but let Xiao Chen digest the situation he was in.

During that night Xiao Chen could not sleep, trying to find an explanation for this experience that was happening to him. Every now and then Xiao Chen could hear Fang An cough softly in front of the fireplace all night long.

Seeing Fang An also not sleeping because he wanted to keep an eye on Xiao Chen, worried that Xiao Chen needed something or returned to hysterics again made Xiao Chen accept the situation more quickly.

"Maybe a god gave me a chance to settle my regrets ..."

Xiao Chen didn't care anymore whether all of this was an illusion or reality, but he would live it. For him whatever he was going through, being able to meet his Master again was a blessing.

Xiao Chen did not understand why he came back when he was 5 years old, when his village was attacked and lost both of his parents. Xiao Chen then brushed off the thought, because he realized that going back to an earlier time did not mean that he could save his village from robbers.

"Son, are you calm? Can you tell me where you came from?

How did you end up in this place? "

Fang An started asking questions after seeing that Xiao Chen's condition was stable.

Xiao Chen told everything to Fang An, in his previous life it took a long time before Xiao Chen could tell everything to Fang An because of the trauma he had experienced but this time Xiao Chen could tell everything smoothly.

Fang An was quite amazed to see that Xiao Chen, who was still so young, looked calm in the face of the situation that happened to him, Fang An could also see that everything Xiao Chen told him was not a lie.

"Fine, I understand your situation. How do you know my surname?" And why do you call me Teacher? "

Fang An was dressed like an ordinary person, apart from the mask on his face of course while his sword was hidden with a cloth. Not many people would think Fang An was a swordsman by nature, they would only think Fang An was hiding his face because he was injured or his face was unsightly.

Xiao Chen scratched his head, he couldn't possibly tell the truth that this was his second life right? Finally Xiao Chen could only make up a story that before waking up, he dreamed that he was appointed as a student of a warrior named Fang An who also wore a mask.

Fang An looked at Xiao Chen from top to bottom, knowing his clan was one thing but knowing his full name was certainly a very different thing.

To be honest, Fang An could hardly believe Xiao Chen's story, but on the other hand Xiao Chen was only a five-year-old in Fang An's eyes.

"There's no way I would leave him in this forest alone, he said in his dream that he recognized me as Master, could it be true? Is this fate? " Fang An stroked his chin.

Xiao Chen was a little worried that Fang An would not appoint him as a disciple this time because his previous reaction and Xiao Chen were indeed suspicious but if Xiao Chen wanted to fix all his regrets in the past, he had to join Fang An into the world of martial arts.

“If you really don't have a goal, how about you come with me? Maybe all this is fate, I have never had a student, you could be my first student ... "

Fang An hadn't finished talking yet but Xiao Chen had already started prostrate before him three times before calling Fang An back as the Fang Teacher. All of this Xiao Chen's attitude made Fang An a little anxious, but in the end this Master and disciple got back together in this life.
