Capítulo 70: Going Home part 1
After staying for an hour more and finishing the food, Ning Qi saw that it was already 10:30 a.m., before deciding to start his journey.
As he made his way out, he saw that Kang Xuan's car was still there. He felt comfortable, as he was just thinking about hiring a taxi, which wouldn't give him the free time that he wanted with Ning Jing along their journey.
But he also decided to buy a car after he comes back, as he has money now, why not put it to use and increase the living environment of his friends and relatives? Even though he decided to turn them into cultivators, that will take time, and also, who said that cultivators don't have to use modern facilities, where many people worked for so many generations? Of course, a cultivator can run faster than a car, which will save time... But for example, mobile is still the easiest way to communicate for longer distances than using talismans, which may cost a lot of spiritual energy and be single-time use, or the cost of a multi-purpose device is way too expensive compared to mobile.
Not just the mobile, there are many more things that are pretty useful, and Ning Qi believes that because of those things, many geniuses' efforts will not go to waste, even if this world turns into a complete cultivation world by chance.
Even the car he decided to buy can be very helpful to those at the lower levels of cultivation and even those at higher levels, as they don't want to waste their spiritual energy. Even if they spend some time on it, all they have is 'time' that normal people don't have.
He didn't disturb any of the disciples and slowly made his way out of the sect. But unknown to him, all of them slowly opened their eyes as they heard the car go away and looked in that direction before closing their eyes to concentrate on their cultivation.
Ning Qi then slowly drove his car to his sister's college. While on his way, he texted all his friends who either called him or messaged him, telling them that he was 'still alive.' He received a flurry of questions and calls again, which he addressed one by one.
Ning Qi took his time to answer all their concerns on the way as he drove the car slowly. By the time he reached the Guilin Technological University, it was already 11:30 a.m. He parked his car near the university gate before calling Ning Jing's mobile.
"Hello! Brother? Where are you? Why didn't you receive my call for the past 2 days?..." Right after the call got connected, a flurry of questions started flowing toward Ning Qi. But he patiently waited for her to finish, as he felt the concern and anger in her voice.
"Alright! I will tell you about that soon! Right now, I'm waiting for you outside your college. Take leave for 2 days and come here, we are going home today." Ning Qi said as he disconnected the call, before deciding to wait patiently.
On the other hand, Ning Jing huffed angrily as she saw Ning Qi cutting her off while she still had so much to say. She felt quite troubled to ask for leaves again, as her class teacher was quite dissatisfied last time regarding the leaves that she took to go to the concert.
"It's brother! He told me that he is waiting outside the college gate and that he wants to visit home. I don't know what's so urgent that he even wanted me to put leaves out for the next 2 days." Ning Jing explained to Wen Fen as she saw her looking at her questioningly.
"Oh! You better hurry up then. I will apply for your leaves and will tell the teacher that something urgent happened at her house and she hurriedly left." Wen Fen said, as though telling her that I got your back on this expression, earning an eye roll from Ning Jing.
"Alright then! Bye Fen. I will come back when I find out what is so important that he wants to deal with, and I will tell you everything after that." Ning Jing still decided to follow the 'plan' made by Wen Fen and promised her about the 'important' matter before hurriedly rushing out of the classroom, under the wrathful eyes of her professor.
Right after she reached the college gate, she saw Ning Qi standing nearby and slowly hopped her way toward him.
"Let's get into the car first! We will talk on our way first." Ning Qi said as he had already got into the driver's seat.
"Has something happened at home? Why are you in such a rush?" Ning Jing also got into the co-pilot seat, as she finally got tensed a bit by the rush of Ning Qi. She thought that something might have happened. Otherwise, why would her brother be in such a rush to go home?
"Oh! There's nothing important at home. Mom told me to visit home, but I have to come back to Guilin again by Saturday afternoon. If I don't even stay for 2 days at home properly, mom will be pretty dissatisfied." Ning Qi explained as he saw that his sister may have misunderstood the situation.
Ning Jing quickly patted herself as she heaved a sigh before rolling her eyes at Ning Qi. She then smiled and checked the car, as she knew this was not Ning Qis.
"It's one of my friends. Put your seatbelt on first." Ning Qi said as he started the car. Since there isn't much traffic, they made it out of the city in around 20 minutes. After coming out of the city, Ning Qi slowed down his car a bit before asking Ning Jing, who is looking at him a bit confused and also knows that her brother is probably going to talk about the 'important' matter that he told her before.
"Jing! What do you think of your second sister and third brother?" Ning Qi asked as he wanted to not surprise her too much about the cultivation world. He wanted to instill her mind a bit, before revealing himself to be a cultivator. But the reaction from Ning Jing made his eyes go round with surprise.
"What is there to think about them? They didn't even bother to talk with me or you, even after not seeing us for so many years on your wedding day. Even my sister law talked with me for an hour, but they never even looked me in the eyes. What's so great about practicing some martial arts..." Ning Jing said angrily as Ning mentioned those two. She is very angry at them for being such arrogant pricks who don't even care for their own siblings.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know what they are feeling, just because they behaved like that. There may be a reason why they behaved like that. At least, that woman talked with you... But she didn't even say a single word to me. Compared to her arrogance, your brother and sister are pretty good."
Ning Qi scolded him, as he never expected his little sister to have this much frustration towards her own siblings. He also never thought that woman would have a chat with this girl, but he just thought that she did it for a reason or simply because Ning Jing is 'cute'. Ning Qi especially developed some kind of prejudice towards his wife, whom he felt was the reason he wasn't going for another girl before he started his cultivation.
"Oh! Whatever brother. I just don't want you to mention them again." Ning Jing also got a bit scared, as Ning Qi rarely got angry towards her, but today his face was very serious, which made her a bit afraid. But she still insisted on her point, even though her voice is a bit meek compared to her first argument.
"I'm sorry, Jing! But... it's alright, let's leave that topic about them for now. What I wanted to ask is, do you know what they are doing?"
Ning Qi felt a bit bad about his lashing. He used to dote on all three of them, but Ning Jing is the only one that has stayed with him till now, and he doesn't know what his feelings are toward his other two siblings. He knows he still loves them and wants them back at home to make their family complete again. But there is something that is kind of fading their bond, and he can't grasp it yet.
"Oh! Aren't they practicing those martial arts so that they can fight a lot of people at the same time? Ah! yes, brother... You also told me that you are also practicing those martial arts, right? But you don't have to leave us like them, right?"
Ning answered a bit confusedly, as she saw that her brother was back to normal again. But soon her confusion turned to fright, as her heart almost dropped a beat when she thought of Ning Qi going away like those two. Unknowingly, tears came into her eyes, ready to flow the moment Ning Qi agreed with her. She doesn't have many feelings for her other two siblings, but Ning Qi is her entire world, and she feels like that world is about to collapse. Just the thought of that makes her feel immense sadness, as though something is gripping her heart.
"What nonsense are you thinking in your little head? I also hate those guys who took our brother and sister. Why would I do something when I hate that?" Ning Qi hurriedly explained and questioned as he saw Ning Jing was about to cry.
"Oh! Then why would you ask such a dumb question? You almost caused me a mini heart attack." Ning Jing said as she cleared her eyes with her sleeves, feeling a lot of relief in her mind. She knows that her brother would never lie to her on such serious matters.
