Next day! Early in the morning, Ning Qi's mobile started ringing endlessly, causing him to wake up from his pleasant dreams.
He took the mobile and saw that it is his little sister Ning Jing! He promptly addressed the call, feeling that she may be in some trouble.
"Jing Jing? Is there any problem? Why are you calling me this early?" Ning Qi asked hastily.
"Happy birthday, brother! There is no problem at all... I wanted to be the first person to wish you. I even texted you last night, but you didn't note it. So I am calling you as soon as the sun rose hehe." Ning Jing laughed gleefully from the other side.
"Oh! Thank you, Jing! Even I forgot that today was my birthday. Not many people know of my exact birthday, so who would call me anyhow?" Ning Qi said positively, as they did not celebrate his birthday after his brother and sister went to that place.
Even Dong Xu, Su Xiao, and Old Li didn't know about this. They asked him so many times, but he narrated them, that he also doesn't know, as his parents didn't note it down.
' I am already 28 .' Ning Qi thought but soon shook his head, as he felt that with his current situation, age won't be a matter to him anymore.
"Oh! You are the one that always lies to others, as you don't want to celebrate. " Ning Jing complained. According to her, Ning Qi is the dearest person among their siblings. As for the other two, she didn't have many feelings when compared to Ning Qi. She was a 3 old baby after all when they left.
"Alright! Now rest a bit more and go to college later, okay?" Ning Qi said as he saw that the time is still 6:30 am only. Her college typically starts at 10 am.
"Ah! I almost forgot... Wen Fen equally instructed me to wish you on behalf of her. You know that she has that Insomnia issue. She wanted to wake up early too, but I didn't allow her, or else her sleeping disorder will start once more." Ning Jing slowly explained.
"It's alright, thank her on my behalf too. Hm... I will send you some money for now. Entertain her to a delicious meal then." Ning Qi said and heard a cheerful cry from Ning Jing from the other side.
"Alright! Take rest now, and I also need to sleep a bit more," Ning Qi said.
"Okay! Bye, brother." Ning Jing said, before cutting the call.
Ning Qi looked at his mobile for a moment and transferred 5,000 yuan into Ning Jing's account, as this will be sufficient for them to have a delightful party. It's not that Ning Qi is petty, it's just that much is already pretty good for a college student in this city.
Ning Qi detected the sounds coming from the arena area, but he didn't go to spar with them. He directly lay on his bed, continuing his sleep.
Somewhere far away in a forest, lots of ancient buildings stood perfectly, without any withering effect on them. All those buildings were surrounded by the forest on three sides and a river on the other end. Small routes can be discovered into the forest, probably the only ways that a person can come out of this place.
No human will dare to reach this place and inhabit such an area. But that place is completely bursting with hundreds, if not thousands, of people. It looks like a city the size of a considerable village that can accommodate two to 3 thousand people easily.
In one of the courtyard-like buildings, four people were seen sitting around a table. One middle-aged man and three youngsters, who look to be in their twenties.
"Now, let's start eating already!" The middle-aged man sitting in the middle said as he looked at the three youngsters.
But none of them moved. They just looked at the 5th bowl placed in the middle of the table longingly.
That man couldn't help but sigh as he observes them.
"This is one of the reasons why our sect emphasizes, that once you join the sect, you should cut off all relationships with the mortal family. The sole reason that you are even permitted to meet with your parents is because of your extraordinary aptitudes. " That Man commented slowly.
Every year they take in many people, but most of them will be cut off from meeting their families forever. Except for those who possess an extraordinary aptitude, the sect will deal with them a bit delicately, as they will represent the reliable pillars in the future.
"Master! We absolutely miss our big brother... He used to be our hero, always defending us. We are also missing our little sister a lot too. We can't even reveal our feelings for him properly or else he will miss us a lot and will inevitably have regret. " Ning Xu said looking at the middle-aged man a bit pleadingly. Ning Xu is extremely beautiful and in this sect, she is at the top level with her beauty.
Ning Shen, who kept looking at the noodle bowl in the middle, also nodded his head with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Master! I merely want to stay with him for some time. If possible, I want to give birth to a baby for him. Master... after that I will never ever mention anything about him. Please, Master, you are an elder of the sect..." Rou Lan said slowly, her voice is exceedingly pleasant and gentle at the same time. She looks absolutely gorgeous. She and Ning Xu were always called Twin beauties in the sect.
When she talked about all of this, she didn't even frown a bit, as though she wanted to do it for some time. She in addition didn't have that cold face that she had when she married Ning Qi. It was on her assistance, that Sect agreed to this marriage, or else they would have never cared for a mortal family's promises. Naturally, there is the influence of both Ning Xu and Ning Shen too.
Ning Qi used to be her best friend, at least to her. He consistently used to stand in front of them, even though he was also a kid. She doesn't have any such thoughts as love at that time, but after joining the sect, she started missing that kind of protected feeling. Except for her master and the two Ning siblings, she didn't harbor any kind feelings for this sect. Over time, as she grew up, some even shameless people wanted to decide on her marriage without even bothering about her consent.
But she, with the help of her master and with the promise between two families, pressured the sect a bit, allowing her to become the wife in name of Ning Qi. She felt quite thrilled because of that, as she felt that marrying a person who used to be her hero in childhood then become a toy in a political marriage.
When she ultimately met Ning Qi, She felt delighted, as she didn't see those lust-filled eyes in him, which usually happens when most of those arrogant people look at her.
But that day Ning Qi unexpectedly implored her about her decision, causing her to feel blessed. But at the same time, her worries started growing a lot, she felt like she is wronging this 'sweetheart' of hers.
After that marriage, most of her thoughts will end up with Ning Qi's image. She gradually developed an unknown feeling toward Ning Qi, and from then she started to have this weird idea of giving birth to a baby with Ning Qi, as though trying to compensate for him.
"Don't talk nonsense, Lan! If someone were known to your thoughts, that boy would be in danger. Even though I am an elder and at the peak of the soul transformation realm, I am too helpless to aid you, Lan. Don't think a soul transformation realm cultivator can do as they wish, even sect master, vice sect master, and other protectors are all in the True Qi Condensation realm. Not to mention those Ancestors, who are living deep in the forest, those are in the Void realm. " That Man hastily warned, obviously shocked by the words of this foolish disciple of his.
Even Ning Xu and Ning Shen got surprised a bit, but not by much. They are always with her and can see that she wants to spend some time with Ning Qi for some time already. Not just her, if the opportunity arises against they also want to spend quality time with their big brother before he ages away slowly.
"Listen to me all of you clearly! You are all in the golden core stage already... You can at present live for about 500 years. Not to mention that you are all extremely young and have great chances to reach the Void realm. You all have a long life to go through, don't do any stupid thing for a mortal who lives for 90 years at best."That Middle-aged man said and gulped his entire noodle cup, before going away with a frown on his face.
