บท 35: Far away family 2
"Sister-in-law! I also think it's not a good idea. We all love the big brother, but he ultimately going to remain a mortal. If you do something like this, you won't be fit to consider another man in the future." Ning Shen said slowly, shattering the silence that enveloped this courtyard.
It's not, he doesn't like Ning Qi or something. But he felt it is not a genuine way to force things. She is not only disturbing everything around her, but she will also disturb the normal life of his big brother.
He also wants to spend some time with his brother, but he isn't as adamant as Rou Lan. As long as his big brother enjoys a pleasant life and supports their parents in old age, that's enough for him.
"Hm! What Shen is true though, Senior sister. I think it's better to lose that thought or else you will be damaging your cultivation. You know, that if you lost your pure yin, your cultivation will slow down to a degree. It's convenient to spend some time with him and cheer him for all the things that he did for us, in childhood. But.." Ning Xu didn't say anymore, as she saw Rou Lan looking at the both of them glaringly.
Ning Xu and Ning Shen equally love Ning Qi a lot, but their cultivation is what matters the most to them. Ning Xu just felt that Rou Lan giving her virginity to Ning Qi, who is clearly a mortal is a grave idea, as that will affect her cultivation.
"In the end! You guys chose to be cultivators... Ning Xu, Ning Shen... I really thought you both loved your big brother a lot. But looks like over time, your feelings for the mortals are changing, even including your big brother, whom you used to love so much. What is Cultivation absolutely meant for? Hope that you both can think about it properly... My heart will remain the same, no matter how much time passes." Rou Lan said emotionally and walked away from there.
She felt a bit betrayed by both of them. She always thought she is the one that until now express some confusion about Ning Qi. But from the looks of it, she is the one that is more clear about her thoughts, she felt like crying a bit, when she thought of what would Ning Qi feel if he knows his sibling's thoughts.
"Sister! I think you have sounded a bit over this time. After all! We equally love the big brother... You say we are paying him back is like, you want to cut off all the karma with him..." Ning Shen said relatively hesitating.
"Hm! I-I, don't know what came over me. I- I truly felt like, that senior sister is committing a fatal mistake and I merely wanted to counsel her... Ultimately, I said something by mistake... Hopefully, that senior sister won't take it to heart. I also love the big brother a lot too, but... " Ning Xu said, and couldn't continue as her thought process is going awry.
She exactly knows, which her mind is telling her, and what's even weirder is that she felt that thought is Very normal.
"I think we need to exercise our minds, Shen. I never thought we felt like this toward mortals. Even as far as not even considering big brother... Never mind, let's go." Ning Xu said as she moved. Ning Shen followed her examining his eldest sister a bit worriedly. He perceived that, even though Ning Xu recognized it and was even willing to place some effort into that, he didn't feel much remorse from her. He felt like that big sister is going to drift further and further away from his Big Brother.
All they lacked was a catalyst, and even though they retained many good feelings toward Ning Qi, those feelings started fading away gradually over time. This is actually reasonably good for a cultivator, as seeing a loved one die in front of them, will cause too much pain and their cultivation will affect over time.
"It's good these siblings are growing in the correct direction. But that girl... Sigh! I hope that mortal won't affect her cultivation too much. Jian Lei, keep an eye on that disciple of mine, and if you find any abnormal behavior from her, promptly inform me. " That Middle-aged man said to another middle-aged man, who looks to be a servant under him.
"Sure elder Tie! I will make sure to complete this perfectly." That Jian guy said with assurance.
"Hm! That's good" Elder Tie said to himself, before looking at the Noodle bowl in the middle of the table one last, before walking away.
After everyone is gone, a silhouette in white came and walked towards the noodle bowl. Who else is it?
"I hope you will have a long healthy and happy life. I-I-I don't mind you receiving another w-wife, as long as you live happily over there. I will cheer for you till the end of your life... I truly want to spend some time with you, but looks like even your... Never mind about that. Enjoy a pleasant life, If I encounter you again, I will try my best to perform the duties of a wife." Rou Lan said to herself, but she know she is lying to herself. Even If she met him again, if she were to act a bit cordial with him, his life will be in grave danger.
She took the longest noodle in the bowl and slowly savored it. Slowly tears started flowing from her eyes, she felt that the restrictions placed on her with the name of cultivators is too much of a pain. She is missing her only younger sister in the family; she felt worried about her parents, who won't have any support after her little sister gets married to someone else.
She wanted to spend time with them, at least until all of their death. At the same moment, her resolve to grow stronger also gets higher and higher. If she is strong enough, she won't have to worry about anything. She doesn't need to stay away from her relatives nor she doesn't need to treat her husband as a stranger.
She slowly stood up from there and cleared her eyes with a firm resolve. She gave a glare to the middle-aged servant, who secretly observed her, before slowly walking away.
"Miss is immensely talented, I better place a bit more distance from her... And also, that glint in her eyes and the aura she was exuding is kinda scary. Even though I am a golden core late-stage cultivator, I felt a bit scared by her aura, weird. It's kinda similar to those Void realm ancestors but kinda too weak... I better inform elder Tie later." That servant Jian thought, before proceeding to follow Rou Lan, but a bit more far than usual.
Ning Qi doesn't know what's happening in that faraway place. Even If he knows, he will merely think of it as a kid's farce, that is throwing a tantrum. Of course, he would be a bit delighted to find his wife is the one who cares the most for him there.
His parents called him to wish him too, but his mother, in the end, got a bit emotional, as she felt that Ning Qi is not celebrating his birthday, because he doesn't want to distress her by letting her think of her son and daughter in the sect.
He and his father consoled her, before being able to cut off the call. He on top felt a bit heavy in the heart and decided to vent somewhere, deciding to spar with Nangong Xu...
"You are precisely the disciple that's worth the title of the eldest disciple, Xu. You even bore some burden for your sect master." Ning Qi said, looking at the beaten-up Nangong Xu, who is looking at Ning Qi wryly. But Ning Qi didn't go overboard likewise... He just sparred an extra hour than what they routinely do.
"Anything for the sect master!" Nangong Xu said as he felt that Ning Qi's mood is relatively off, as he never sparred with him for more than an hour. He did point out many of the flaws for him to develop, but the tone he used was a bit different than he routinely does.
But after this session, he felt that Ning Qi is back to his jovial self again. He doesn't know whether to cry or laugh, as all his sect master needs is a good spar to sweep his worries away. He also wants this kind of ability, so that he can sweep away those thoughts that kept bothering him after his parents got separated.
The routine continued, as the death matches are coming closer with each day.
