It was just a hypothesis, but it was something that needed confirmation.

My exchange student mate, the one who mysteriously disappeared the moment I arrived in China.

Originally, I was supposed to stay at his house, but for some reason, he was nowhere to be found.

Well… the chances are slim, but still.

The reason I called it a hypothesis and not a certainty was because of a few nagging doubts.

The first was age. Could someone who disappeared decades ago reappear as a student?

That seemed questionable and a bit perplexing.

If Master hadn’t reincarnated, then how could he be alive again?

Or perhaps he had truly passed away.

Even Jesus resurrected after three days, didn’t he?@@novelbin@@

Surely, Master hadn’t undergone some kind of divine transformation. Still, the fact that this was China made me think of martial arts stories now and then.

This issue was the most bothersome, but it wasn’t the only one.

The second was distance. Master, who should have known about my reincarnation, hadn’t reached out to me.

Was he avoiding me on purpose? Or had he developed amnesia and lost all memory of me?

If my mate really were Master, I thought he would have sought me out at least once.

After all, there were still things to settle between us.

I wanted to apologize.

I even came all the way to China, thinking he’d give me a good scolding for being a lousy disciple.
