Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 127 He's already old.

Jiang Shaoxu went to the ancient capital academy. She had been here before when she was in school, so she was quite familiar with it. Su Ming was a space and summoning major, and she wondered which major he would use to enroll.

However, just asking around will tell you that when he becomes a mid-level mage, he will definitely appear in both the spatial and summoning magic systems. That way, his fame will be very high, and he will definitely have a lot of people who know him.

Two or three years have passed. Su Ming should be considered a senior student. Jiang Shaoze graduated from the ancient capital a few years ago and later went to work in the military region. Now she has no friends in the ancient capital and can only go to the school leaders.

After much thought, I decided to go find the former principal of the ancient capital's academy.

He and Jiang Shaoxu's grandfather were old friends. Jiang Shaoxu had met him when she was a child, but he didn't know if he still remembered Jiang Shaoxu.

dong dong dong...

Jiang Shaoxu knocked on the principal's office door, hoping that the old principal was still at the Ancient Capital Academy at this time. After all, Jiang Shaoxu had heard from her grandfather that the old principal was not very settled and was always running around, so he might not stay at the Ancient Capital Academy.

"Enter."

Jiang Shaoxu pushed open the door and walked in. An old man with white hair was tidying up documents with his head down. He only looked up after Jiang Shaoxu came in. His eyes were a little cloudy, and even with glasses, he seemed unable to see the person in front of him clearly.

The old headmaster squinted, sensing a familiar feeling emanating from Jiang Shaoxu. He frowned, racking his brains, and after a moment, said uncertainly, "Old Jiang's granddaughter?"

"Yes, Grandpa Ding, it's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been quite a while. You haven't come to see your grandfather at all," the old principal said with a smile, and quickly stood up to invite Jiang Shaoxu to sit down.

He could just leave the documents aside; he didn't want to deal with them anyway. Now that Jiang Shaoxu was here, it was a relief for him, so he became even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Shaoxu.

The old principal was busy running around, making Jiang Shaoxu feel a little awkward, as if she was the junior and an elder was the one entertaining her.

If Grandpa finds out, he'll definitely give him a lecture. Jiang Shaoxu wanted to help, but the old principal stopped her there.

She could only sit there.

"Grandpa doesn't have any soft drinks or anything like that, so please make do with this tea." After a flurry of activity, the old principal brought out the tea and placed it in front of Jiang Shaoxu.

"It's okay, I'm not picky." Jiang Shaoxu obediently took the bowl and drank a couple of sips. The old principal nodded in approval, very pleased.

He was born without children, so naturally he had no grandchildren. Therefore, he valued the descendants of several old friends very much, almost treating them as his own descendants.

"Xiao Xu, you didn't come here specifically to see Grandpa, did you?" The old headmaster squinted. He saw things quite clearly; how could an old man like him be worth her making a special trip?

"Well, I'm looking for someone named Su Ming. He's a mage specializing in summoning and spatial magic. He should have enrolled three years ago. Grandpa Ding, do you remember him?" Jiang Shaoxu asked, a little nervous, as he hadn't seen Su Ming for over three years.

I don't even know what kind of expression I should make when I run into her.

The old principal's face twitched slightly. Of all people to ask, why this one...?

Su Ming is connected to Jiang Shaoxu? Jiang Shaoxu's presence here suggests their relationship is quite special.

The old principal squinted, pondering how to answer. Su Ming wasn't at the ancient capital academy; he'd gone to the Helan Mountains and hadn't returned yet. It was even uncertain whether he was still alive.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the old principal hesitate, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Could it be that Su Ming wasn't in the ancient capital?

As for death... Jiang Shaoxu hadn't thought about that question. She didn't believe Su Ming would die; a woman's intuition is usually very accurate.

"Uh... how should I put it, Su Ming isn't in the ancient capital." The old headmaster touched his face, deciding that he didn't know where Su Ming had gone either.

"Where is it?"

As expected, when asked, the old principal immediately said, "I don't know. He didn't tell me when he left. If you're not in a hurry, just wait a bit. Maybe he'll be back soon."

"Well... alright." Jiang Shaoxu was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do. Su Ming wasn't here, and Jiang Shaoxu didn't believe the old principal would lie to her.

There's no need for that. He's an elder, and this wouldn't do him any good.

She came to see Su Ming with great joy, but ended up not being able to even see him, which left her somewhat disappointed.

After finishing his tea in a few gulps, Jiang Shaoxu bid farewell to the old principal.

With her schedule disrupted and Tian Ge still not having sent a message, Jiang Shaoxu, having some free time, decided to wander around the ancient capital academy to kill some time while waiting for Tian Ge's letter.

Watching Jiang Shaoxu leave, the old principal blinked, sensing a hint of gossip in his eyes; it seemed their relationship was more than just casual.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. After ringing a few times, the call was answered, and an old voice came from the other end.

"Old Ding? What brings you to call me? Did you get into some trouble that you need me to clean up? Hahaha..." The old man on the other end seemed quite pleased, teasing the old principal.

"Don't talk nonsense. Who do you think I am? There's nothing in this world that I can't handle. Who needs to come here? You're shameless. Your abilities aren't even as great as mine, yet you have the nerve to say that." The old headmaster said disdainfully.

Suddenly, his tone shifted: "I have a question for you. Xiao Xu suddenly came over here, and it seems she's involved with one of my students from the academy. That student's name is Su Ming, do you know anything about him?"

The other person was silent for a moment before replying, "Oh."

The former headmaster: "...?"

"Oh, what do you mean? If you know, just say it. Don't make me yell at you."

"I'm not sure, is Su Ming still with you?" the other person asked.

"He's probably dead."

"...?"

"Dead...Are you sure?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'd guess it's close. He's been missing for almost three years. If he's lucky, he should be alive; if he's unlucky, he might be dead," the old headmaster said.

Three years is too long in the world, too many changes can happen. Even the old principal doesn't know if Su Ming can return to the ancient capital.

"He went to Helan Mountain. He's been missing for three years, so there shouldn't be any major problems. That place... he should be fine inside, but it'll be a bit troublesome once he gets out." The Helan Mountain incident happened more than two years ago, and Su Ming has been missing for more than two years, so it's easy to connect the two.

"Yes, they went to the Helan Mountains and then disappeared, so..."

"so?"

"Do you even know what kind of relationship Xiaoxu has with him?!" the old principal said impatiently.

"I know, they're in a romantic relationship, but it seems like their relationship has had some ups and downs. I only heard about it from a junior colleague; I haven't met them myself, so I don't know the specifics..."

beep...

The principal hung up the phone before the other person could finish speaking.

My love, before I knew it, Xiaoxu was over twenty. In their generation, they could have gotten married and had children. Now, looking at him, he seems old.
