Hidden Moth-Chapter 572 - 328: Roadside Encounters That Startle Jingze

Liu Jingze’s parents were high school classmates. His father was named Liu Xinke, and his mother was Yan He.

Back when they were a young couple, they once rented a car to drive out for a trip and saved a stranger who had rolled down a hill, got injured, and was penniless.

This person was Zhao Sanjin.

Could Zhao Sanjin, with his level of cultivation, still get injured by accident? Because at that time, just like Jiang Daozhen now, he was undergoing the Bone Transformation Tribulation, where accidents could indeed happen.

That day, he was careless and fell from the sky. A car happened to be passing below on the highway. To avoid causing a sensation, he tried hard to control his fall so he wouldn’t land directly on the road but instead landed on the adjacent hill and rolled to the side of the road.

At the time, the couple merely lent a helping hand, but to Zhao Sanjin, it was a lifesaving grace; otherwise, he might not have survived that ordeal.

That was nearly twenty years ago. Later, Liu Xinping and Yan He started to work and had a child, and Liu Xinping became a narcotics police officer.

Liu Xinping certainly couldn’t reveal his identity because his enemies were often extremely vicious and inhuman criminals...Just not long ago, Liu Xinping was killed in action while executing a secret mission, but he dealt a heavy blow to the criminal gang he was investigating.

At that time, Zhao Sanjin was far away and didn’t know the news, yet he inexplicably had a strong premonition, recalling that experience from years ago, and headed to Bai Cang City.

But he was still too late. By the time he arrived, Liu Jingze had already fallen victim.

The maddened remnants of the criminal gang, once they discovered Liu Xinping’s identity, didn’t even spare his child, abducting and killing Liu Jingze as he stepped out, and next, they planned to go after Yan He, who was hospitalized.

In a fit of rage, Zhao Sanjin exterminated that gang. However, he couldn’t save the Liu father and son, and he faced a very thorny problem.

After her husband’s death, Yan He, unable to withstand the blow, fell ill. If her son was also gone, it would be hard for her to hold on.

Even if Zhao Sanjin used his Great Divine Power to adjust her body, it couldn’t solve the fundamental problem. As the Patriarch of the Observing Body Sect, Zhao judged the situation very clearly.

At this point, Zhao Sanjin realized another fact. Except for him, no one in the world knew Liu Jingze was already killed, not even the criminals as he had reduced them to dust.

So he made an astonishing decision.

As a Tier Eight Cultivator with rebirth and transformation cultivation, changing his appearance to Liu Jingze’s was easy. The difficult part was adopting the mindset of a middle schooler like Liu Jingze, yet he finally decided to "inherit" this identity.

All these facts were introduced in a single Divine Thought, and He Kao couldn’t help but ask, "When did this happen?"

Liu Jingze: "It was just about half a month ago, and then, in a few days, I received a message from Zheng Yisi... After decades of silence, he contacted me precisely then."

He Kao: "We met a week ago, so this happened a week before we met?"

Liu Jingze nodded.

He Kao: "Yan... How’s your mother’s health?"

Liu Jingze: "My mother is fine now. She was discharged last week and has returned to work. She’ll even be working overtime tonight..."

With his Tier Eight Cultivation in Observing Body Skill, helping Yan He recover wasn’t hard.

Yan He was discharged last week. Without resting further, she insisted on going back to work, as having something to do helps soothe her mind, especially since there was still a child at home.

He Kao didn’t know what to say and asked, "Until when do you plan to do this?"

Liu Jingze: "Whenever it’s time, it’s time. I owe a life, which is a matter of karma and cause."

He Kao: "Won’t she realize that her son has become someone else?"

Liu Jingze shook his head, saying, "She’ll only notice that her son has changed, a change she hoped for and finds comforting. I also won’t change too much immediately, still the Liu Jingze from before, just gradually growing and maturing." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

He Kao suddenly asked a very unexpected question, lightening the heavy atmosphere: "What university do you want to apply for in the future?"

Liu Jingze asked back, "If you were my mom, which university would make you happiest if I got in?"

He Kao: "Chunhua, of course, it’s Chunhua!"

Liu Jingze: "It’s exactly what I have in mind, I’ll apply for Chunhua University."

He Kao: "But from the school you’re currently attending, wouldn’t it be too abrupt to get into Chunhua?"

Liu Jingze shook his head, "There’s no such thing as impossible. Our school’s overall ranking in the city is low mainly because too many poor students bring down the average score, but our advanced class is actually quite good, getting a few students into 985 universities every year.

If luck has it, someone might get into Chunhua someday. I have more than two years left and can gradually improve. The advanced class has openings every semester, determined through academic performance.

If I improve appropriately by the end of this year and join the advanced class in the second semester of sophomore year, then move forward step-by-step till graduation, it wouldn’t be that abrupt. Plus, continuous improvement would make my mom happier, wouldn’t it?"

Originally scoring just sixty marks, he now possessed the capability for a perfect score, yet he didn’t plan to score perfectly right away, intending instead to advance incrementally each time.

Improvements were not just in academic scores but also in other aspects of his performance... When he said these words, he fully embodied Liu Jingze’s tone.

Finally, Liu Jingze said, "These are matters I’ll need to worry about myself; today, I just want to ask for your help to solve the trouble we encountered earlier."
