Master, I'm Here to Ask to Cling to Your Coattails

Ji Zhixi once played a game with an exceptionally high degree of freedom. Later, he transmigrated into a game he'd abandoned years ago.

Several hundred years had passed in the game. His former classmates, who had once studied alongside him, had all become big shots.

And because he'd abandoned the game and started a new account, he had become a new student sent to his "alma mater."

Back then, Ji Zhixi had been young and full of ambition, with boundless energy. He'd maxed out every skill the hard way and was once a renowned prodigy.

But now that he'd transmigrated into the game, all Ji Zhixi wanted was to lie flat. With his former classmates now such top-tier overachievers...

He'd better hurry up and latch onto a powerful patron, then enjoy a carefree life lying flat.

On the new students' first day at school, every immortal master saw the dazzling red robes and thought of an old friend. They secretly asked Chen Lianwen, who wore a wistful, tender expression, about him behind his back.

That is, until they saw the boy eating, drinking, and having fun instead of studying.

There was no way this boy could be the old friend's descendant!

Chen Lianwen had been taught since childhood to devote himself to cultivation and restore his family's fortunes. He thought nothing mattered more than cultivation, and had even resented the classmate who constantly distracted him from his studies.

Until that person stopped coming back to see him for a long, long time.

Only then did Chen Lianwen understand: it had never been dislike. Not once.

When they met again years later, Chen Lianwen was certain that Ji Zhixi would come looking for him. But after waiting for over a month, not a single letter ever arrived at his mountain peak.

Unable to hold back any longer, Chen Lianwen went down the mountain to find him.

Only to see Ji Zhixi smiling brightly at a new classmate.

Just as he had smiled at Chen Lianwen years ago.

-Your disguise is really unconvincing-
