Chapter 928 - Meeting Again (1/2)
The four of them spoke for a while longer. Unfortunately, Nie Huang was currently cultivating so she couldn't come over to join in their chat. After all, each moment counted for her. Even though her cultivation speed would be much faster since she was in the dragon realm, she wouldn't take any chances.
After his own experience of how hard it could be to cultivate and how things could come to a standstill even in a good environment, Jing Yi could understand very well why she was focusing on it so much.
When Qiu Ling eventually cut the connection, it was already late and Zhong Gang was already returning home as well.
Madam Zhong glanced at her son but didn't say anything. She really would've liked to talk to Jing Yi about what she had found out before but now probably wasn't the right time for that. She should wait until they were alone.
Zhong Gang didn't know yet that Qiu Ling and Jing Yi had returned so he was surprised when he stepped into the room and saw the two of them sitting at the table.
Jing Yi got up and nodded. ”Uncle.”
Qiu Ling glanced at his beloved and then also stood up, nodding at Zhong Gang as well. ”Uncle-in-law.”
”Jing Yi, Qiu Ling, you're back!”
Jing Yi nodded. ”Yes, we just arrived today. There isn't much to do in the sect right now so we thought that it would be nice to come to visit again for some time.”
Zhong Gang nodded eagerly. It was indeed good if they stayed for a while. Having more family members around was always nice. And anyway, now that his daughter was already married, there also shouldn't be any trouble in the family anymore. ”It's good that you're back. You should accompany your mother for a while. By the way, have you seen Guanyu and her husband already?”
”We did see Guanyu when we went to the teahouse before. But I don't think her husband was there at that time.” At the very least, he hadn't seen any person that looked like that Bai Mu. Even though he wouldn't necessarily have noticed considering that the last time he and Bai Mu met, his thoughts had been occupied by something else, but Qiu Ling should have seen him. Since that hadn't been the case, that Xiao Li probably hadn't been there in the first place.
”Ah, so it was like that.” Zhong Gang sat down next to them and leaned forward, seemingly not interested in discussing the topic any further. Anyway, they'd get to meet him sooner or later. ”So how is life in the Yun Zou Sect? Are you still doing well?”
Jing Yi gave another nod. ”Very well.” He pondered for a moment, wondering what it had been that he had said the last time. It had already been such a long time so he wasn't quite sure just how up-to-date his family was. Back then … That should have been when he and Qiu Ling had been traveling outside for a year. At that moment, he hadn't even managed to take in spiritual energy and had scrambled to try and learn to become a practitioner with Shao Hai's help instead. His life had been completely different compared to now.
