"Home, had this been my past life, something like that would have been bought a fantasy"
"Even when I became the strongest in the world, the fact that neither mum, dad and Lin Ting were not there with me, It all felt like nothing"
Checking out of the hotel where he was, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel emotional at the fact that he was going home.
In the past, as the strongest in the world, most people thought he was living the best life with all the fame, wealth, and splendour the world had to offer at his fingertips
Little did they know that the invincible one-armed swordsman was but a man trapped in the past, filled with regrets.
Back then, not one day did he not wish he could exchange all his strength for his family
Even those times where he argued with them, having lost them completely, all he wished was to hear his mum scold him one more time.
Because of that, on the first day of his rebirth, after confirming he was reborn and indeed in the past, he instantly broke into tears upon seeing his parents
"Ha ha! back them, mum was so shocked she immediately called dad from work afraid that something was wrong with me"
"Even dad, despite knowing the fact that he could get scolded or even lose his job, immediately rushed over"
"coincidentally, Lin Ting at this time also happened to come back from school and began consoling me without thinking even asking what happened"
Remembering this, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a warm current swarm through his chest.
Thinking of the wrinkles on his mum's face, or the calluses his dad had from work every day.
Lin Ye swore that in this life, he would give them the best life they could ever imagine
And for this dream of his, it didn't matter if he had to step on millions of corpses or fight against thousands of outer gods
If they dared to stand against him, then they should be ready to taste his sword.
"speaking of swords, although it's unrelated but I feel like I'm forgetting something!?"
Putting his hand on his chin, Lin Ye ignored the strange look of passer-bys as he felt like he was forgetting something important
Right now, he was about to go home having completed the last set of his plans before the apocalypse
However, standing at the spot to hail a taxi, he felt like before going home there was one more thing he needed to do.
Unfortunately, just before he could think of what it was, his phone suddenly rang
*ring….* ring….* ring….*
Feeling the non-stop vibration in his pocket, Lin Ye suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart,
Not only that but checking the name of the caller, that feeling suddenly became ten times stronger.
however, he still decided to pick it up. And sure enough, what happened next was a long series of shouts almost directly bursting his ear drums.
"Damn it, Lin Ye! Where are you! It's been thirty minutes since school ended! Aren't you coming to pick me up!"
"if you don't come to pick me up right now! I'll tell Mum and Dad you forgot to come get me!"
Hearing a familiar nagging voice in his ears, Lin Ye instantly dismembered what he had forgotten.
Back when he told his parents he was going to stay out, they allowed him to do it as long as he picked up Lin Ting from school since they were both busy today.
Unfortunately because of the whole Fang family and A.I. chip drama, he had completely forgotten about it.
Now the time was 4;30pm, school had ended about thirty minutes ago and he still hadn't picked his sister up
Thinking of this, Lin Ye instantly knew he was at fault, now what he had to do was find a way to coax Lin Ting so she didn't report him to their parents
Racking his brain, he quickly tried to diffuse the situation.
"haha~ Ting'er it's not like that, big brother was just a little busy you see.."
"Okay why don't we do it like this, if you don't tell Mum and Dad that I came late, then I won't tell them that you flunked your P.E class last month"
As if remembering something, Lin Ye suddenly had a sly smirk on his face as he spoke
For this little fox of a sister, he just how to deal with her in times like this.
And sure enough, after hearing Lin Ye's words, Lin Ting's attitude immediately made a full turn.
No longer shouting angrily like before, her voice had somehow turned coquettish and pitiful
"haha brother, you know I was just joking, mum and Dad obviously don't need to know that or else they won't get me my new phone"
"why don't we just call it even as long as you come here soon and pick me up, I'm almost the last person here," said Lin Ting
Hearing this, Lin Ye almost burst into laughter at her change, however since he was still in the middle of a negotiation, he managed to get a grip on himself.
"Sure, you'll see me in a few minutes, I'm about to hail a taxi over there now"
"It was a pleasure doing business with you sis"
And Lin Ting hearing this, could only grit her teeth and reply unwillingly
"likewise, it was a pleasure doing business with you brother"
After which, she directly hung up not even giving Lin Ye a chance to reply.
However since he had already expected this, he just smiled and put his phone in his pocket as his cab was already there.
"First High school sir, and can you step on it? I have to pick up annoying sister!"
…....…..
[Dragon Country, Jiang Chen City]
[First high school]
Sitting in an empty classroom, a beautiful young girl in a dark blue school uniform rested her head sideways on her desk]
With shoulder-length long hair, a bow at the top, and eyes that sparkled like the stars, it was obvious that she was going to grow up into a great beauty
Because of this, she was called one of the three beauties of the high school with her jade-like skin giving her the nickname name Jade beauty.
However, in this empty classroom, the Jade beauty in question was currently frowning as she sulked over a call she had just had.
"Stupid brother! I was about to ask you what you were doing"
"although mum and dad pretend not to notice, but can't you see these days they're worrying about you?"
"suddenly crying at home, then suddenly disappearing afterward, sometimes two if not three days in a stretch?"
"Are you really okay brother?"
Resting her head on the desk, the worries in Lin Ting's eyes could not be hidden as she thought of her bothers recent actions
Although she couldn't tell why, she felt something big was going to happen soon
A feeling that made her feel completely helpless since she had no idea what was going on.
"Brother please be alright…." whispering under her breath, she silently took out her phone as she waited for him to pick her up
Hopefully, nothing bad happened before then.
