  Jiang Xukai drove away from the municipal party committee compound when there were less than five minutes left before class.

  Jiang Xu's school was also Huyang High School, just like Zou Rong. Both of them were in their third year of high school and had only about a month left before the college entrance examination.

  On the way to school, Jiang Xu drove at a moderate speed, just cruising along. A steady and calm aura could be felt emanating from him, his eyes gradually becoming deeper and more profound.

  It can be said that whether it was rebirth or the fusion of the Emperor's Soul Pearl, both caused Jiang Xiu to rapidly become even more mature.

  "It seems that after rebirth, the first class is likely to be late..."

  Just as he was about to arrive at school, Jiang Xuyuan heard the familiar bell of Huayang High School from afar. He sneered at himself and didn't rush, because being late and skipping class was nothing new for him before his rebirth.

  The car stopped in the parking lot outside the school, and Jiang Xiu didn't rush to get out of the car. The school rules of Huayang High School were very strict, and students who were late in the morning had to wait until the end of the first class before they could enter the school.

  Since he was already late, Jiang Xue simply sat in the car and waited for the first class to end.

  But just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Jiang Xu's line of sight.

  In the distance, a girl in a white dress was riding her bicycle towards school. Her exquisite face, as if carved by the heavens, and the flying white hem of her skirt, under the golden sunlight, gave people a refreshing and beautiful visual impact.

  Zou Rong

  Jiang Xu's heart silently recited the unforgettable name, she was his first true love and the girl he could never forget. Looking at Zou Rong's familiar face, the faint memories from before his rebirth gradually rose up in Jiang Xu's mind.

  Just at the next moment, Jiang Xu's face changed slightly, because he thought of something very important.

  Jiang Xu remembered that something seemed to have happened at Zou Rong's home. In the final stage of the high school entrance examination sprint, Zou Rong actually took a month off and his grades plummeted in the end.

  What exactly happened, Jiang Xu was not clear about, because at that time he had already completely fallen, and during that period of time he basically did not go to school again, nor did he bother Zhou Rong again. Many things about Zhou Rong were heard from others.

  Later, he went to Zou Rong's residence, but the place where Zou Rong and his family lived had also become a ruin with traces of being burned by a big fire.

  According to the neighbors, Zou Rong's family seemed to have offended a powerful enemy and their entire house was burned down by someone. Zou Rong's father was burned alive in the fire, while Zou Rong and her mother were nowhere to be found, with no one knowing where they had gone.

  Jiang Xu had secretly searched for Zou Rong's whereabouts, but unfortunately, there was no news. All of this became a hidden pain in his heart before he was reborn. At this moment, seeing Zou Rong again, the faint memories that had been lingering in Jiang Xu's heart quickly settled and became extremely heavy.

  "No matter what, I won't let history repeat itself. I must get to the bottom of this, no matter who it is, and make them pay an absolute price."

  In almost an instant, Jiang Xuan had already made up his mind. In this life of rebirth, he would guard everything he wanted to protect in his heart, and this time, he absolutely wouldn't let Zhou Rong slip away again.

  Jiang Xu had absolute confidence, because he was no longer the ignorant and arrogant Jiang Xu of old.

  That girl was Zou Rong, she seemed to have some worries, her expression looked very worried, and her delicate eyebrows were also slightly furrowed. She didn't notice Jiang Xu sitting in the car not far away, but instead rode her bike directly to the school gate.

  Although it's late, entering school at this time is still just morning self-study time and won't affect classes.

  However, Zhou Rong, this top student, obviously had no special privileges. Although she kept explaining the reason for her tardiness to the gatekeeper, she was still blocked outside the main gate. The gatekeeper was a notorious stubborn old man who wouldn't even let Jiang Xu, a student with a special identity, pass through, not to mention Zhou Rong.

  Watching this scene, Jiang Xu did not choose to wait any longer, but directly pushed open the car door and walked out.

  Jiang Xu walked over, Zou Rong was already anxious with red eyes, shiny tears spinning in her eye sockets, her small hands tightly grasping the handlebars of the bicycle, somewhat at a loss.

  Zou Rong also saw Jiang Xu at this time, she thought Jiang Xu was going to bother her again, so she quickly turned her head away, not wanting Jiang Xu to see the tears in her eyes, and hastily left while pushing her bicycle.

  Looking at Zou Rong's panicked appearance, Jiang Xu didn't say anything, but instead slowly shifted his gaze towards the gate guard.

  A faint, eerie white light flashed between Jiang Xiu's eyes, and the guard only then met Jiang Xiu's gaze. His eyes dimmed instantly, his face gradually becoming somewhat dull and stupid, as if he had lost his soul in an instant.

  "Listen to my command, open the door..."

  A thought flashed through Jiang Xiu's mind, and the gatekeeper seemed to have heard an order, stretched out his hand to open the door, and retreated to one side obediently.

  The irrepressible excitement appeared quickly on Jiang Xiu's face.

  This was his first time using the Emperor's Soul Controlling Technique, although it was only the most basic soul control and only lasted for about ten seconds. However, this incredible ability made Jiang Xiu feel incredibly powerful.

  Moreover, what he is currently cultivating is only the first level of the Emperor's Soul Scripture. If he can cultivate to the second level, he will even have the ability to steal soul memories, this ability is absolutely more terrifying.

  As for the second realm of the Emperor's Soul Scripture and above, the abilities will be even more against the heavens.

  However, at this time, Jiang Xu quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Zou Rong behind him: "Zou Rong, the school gate is already open, aren't you going in?"

  Zou Rong didn't know what was happening behind her, she had only taken a few steps out when she heard Jiang Xu's words. She instinctively turned her head to look at the already open school gate, and a hint of joy flashed in Zou Rong's eyes. However, when her gaze fell on Jiang Xu, she became hesitant again.

  Jiang Xu naturally understood what Zou Rong was hesitating about. He just smiled slightly and then walked into the school with big strides.

  Zou Rong originally thought that Jiang Xu would take this opportunity to make some demands on her, but she didn't expect Jiang Xu's reaction. She was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly discovered that today's Jiang Xu seemed somewhat different, whether it was his temperament or his eyes, there were some changes that gave her a very strange feeling.

  However, Zou Rong didn't have the mind to think about anything else at this time. Seeing Jiang Xu had already walked ahead, she hesitated for a moment before quickly pushing her cart to follow him, fearing that the gatekeeper would suddenly close the school gate.

  It wasn't until Jiang Xu and Zou Rong had gone far away that the gatekeeper slowly came back to his senses.

  "What's going on? How did the school gate open? Who opened it?" The security guard looked at the wide-open gate with a bewildered expression, and he didn't even have the slightest impression of what had just happened.

  "It can't be... Is it a ghost?!"

  As he thought of this, the gatekeeper suddenly felt a chill on his back, hastily closed the big gate and ran back to the gatehouse to worship Buddha.

  ▂▂▂▂▂▂

  Jiang Xu and Zou Rong were not in the same class, Zou Rong was in Class 1 of Grade 3, which gathered top students, while Jiang Xu was in Class 9, which had the worst academic performance throughout the year.

  Zou Rong pushed her cart far away from Jiang Xu as soon as she entered the school, she was afraid of being bothered by Jiang Xu, and yesterday she had just rejected Jiang Xu, fearing that Jiang Xu would do something extreme.

  After all, Jiang Xu is the son of a deputy mayor, with power and influence, while she is just a child from a poor family, so it's better not to provoke him, can only be avoided as far as possible.

  Jiang Xu knew that he couldn't change Zou Rong's impression of him overnight, after all, the impression he had left on her before was really too bad. However, Jiang Xu wasn't in a hurry because he was confident that he could change everything.

  He needs some time and apart from Zou Rong, he has something important to attend to.

  He needs to enrich his knowledge quickly, and the memories of those ancient emperors' souls are very rich, although their help is immeasurable, but after all, they existed hundreds of years ago in ancient times. For this rapidly developing modern society, many aspects need to be supplemented.

  Moreover, Jiang Xu wanted to build his own business empire and help his father reach a higher peak of power, which would be an indispensable driving force.

  Jiang Xu's mind already had a rough plan, but all of these needed him to take it one step at a time.
