Shortly after Ning Wangshu left, Xu Yiming suddenly snapped back to reality with a start.

He glanced around, frowning slightly. "Huh? What's going on? Why do I feel... a bit strange? Did I just zone out?"

Xu Yiming was a bit puzzled.

But he couldn't recall what had just happened, so he shook his head and decided not to dwell on it.

Meanwhile.

Ning Wangshu walked out of the Yundian Clubhouse, and the city lights were already shining brightly outside.

"I should go back and find Ruoxuan first."

With a light sigh, Ning Wangshu immediately soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light...

Earlier, when he parted ways with his sister, he hadn't left directly. Instead, he concealed himself and followed her to her residence before heading to Prosperity Tower.

Moments later, Ning Wangshu returned to the residential area near his sister's place.

Finding a secluded corner, he dispelled the concealment incantation on himself before heading towards his sister's residence...

"Knock knock!"

At the door of his sister's rented apartment, Ning Wangshu knocked.

"Who is it?"

Soon, Ning Ruoxuan's voice came from inside, but she didn't open the door, seeming quite cautious.

After a brief thought, Ning Wangshu understood that his sister was probably worried it might be those people looking for her again, so she didn't dare open the door without knowing who was outside.

So, Ning Wangshu spoke up, "Ruoxuan, it's me!"

Hearing Ning Wangshu's voice, Ning Ruoxuan was momentarily stunned, seemingly hesitating, but she still opened the door.

However, she looked at Ning Wangshu with a cold expression. "Why are you here to find me? Didn't you leave so nonchalantly before?"

Knowing his sister harbored resentment, Ning Wangshu wasn't bothered by her words. He just smiled and said, "You're my sister, of course, I have to come find you. It doesn't matter if you recognize me as your brother or not, but since I'm back and Mom is gone, I must take on the responsibility of taking care of you!"

"Hah, sounds nice, taking care of me? I don't need your care; I can take care of myself!"

Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

After a pause, she couldn't help but add, "You... where did you go before? You didn't really go looking for Xu Yiming, did you?

Ning Wangshu, for the sake of our parents, I'll remind you one last time: if you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, don't go crazy!

This is a society ruled by law now. Do you really want to act like in ancient times, seeking blood vengeance?"

Hearing his sister's words, Ning Wangshu laughed, "Ruoxuan, you still care about me, don't you?"

"Hmph, don't flatter yourself. I don't care about you. Who are you? We have nothing to do with each other. I'm just considering our parents, not wanting them to see you go crazy and be unable to rest in peace."

Ning Ruoxuan scoffed lightly.

But Ning Wangshu laughed again. He could see that his sister still cared about him, though she had a lot of resentment in her heart, so she spoke like that.

So, Ning Wangshu followed her words and said, "Yeah, I know.

Uh... Ruoxuan, can I come in and sit for a while? I just got back, and I don't have a home anymore. Now I have nowhere to go..."

Ning Wangshu played the 'pity card.'

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxuan was a bit annoyed, but seeing Ning Wangshu's pitiful look, she couldn't harden her heart. She stomped her foot in frustration and said, "Come in then!

But I'm telling you, this is just a single room. There's no place for you to sleep. You either sleep on the floor or sit all night. I won't care about you!"

With that, Ning Ruoxuan finally stepped aside to let Ning Wangshu in.

Ning Wangshu chuckled and quickly walked in, saying, "It's fine. I just need a place to stay. I'll just sit here all night!"

"Hmph..."

Ning Ruoxuan snorted lightly, then closed the door and went back to the small table to continue eating.

At this moment, Ning Wangshu also noticed the boxed meal on the small table.

Seeing that the meal only had some greens and shredded potatoes, Ning Wangshu's expression turned a bit grim, filled with self-blame. "Ruoxuan, is this all you eat every day?"

Ning Ruoxuan glanced at him and said irritably, "What, is there a problem?"

Phew...

Ning Wangshu let out a long breath. He wanted to step forward but was afraid of upsetting his sister, so he could only say with a pained heart, "Don't worry, now that I'm back, I won't let you suffer anymore."

"Hah, not let me suffer? Do you have money?"

Ning Ruoxuan retorted sarcastically.

"No money! But I can earn it!"

Ning Wangshu said firmly.

"You earn it? Do you think making money is easy? And aren't you planning to continue studying?

When Mom and Dad were alive, their biggest wish was for you to get into a good university and have a good life, not to struggle like they did.

If you don't continue studying, are you letting them down?"

Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

Ning Wangshu was taken aback. Qin Feng had mentioned before that he should return to school quickly, and with half a month left before the college entrance exam, let other teachers help him with a crash course to prepare for it.

But at that time, he clearly didn't take it seriously.

He was an 'ascended' Immortal Dao master, even if his cultivation was suppressed, he could still wield the power of the Golden Elixir stage.

What meaning did the college entrance exam have for him?

However, hearing his sister's words now made him hesitate.

Indeed, his parents' biggest wish when they were alive was for him and his sister to get into a good university and find a good job in the future.

His father had passed away in an accident years ago.

Now his mother was also gone...

It seemed that fulfilling their wish and getting into a good university was the only thing he could do for them now.

Even if it didn't mean much to him personally.

But even if it was just to comfort his parents' spirits, he had to go to university!

Thinking of this, Ning Wangshu took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I'll continue my studies. But I also need to earn money. You don't have to worry about that; I have my own ways to make money."

"Your own ways? What ways? If you continue studying, will you have time to work?" Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

Ning Wangshu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Didn't I tell you before? I didn't come back empty-handed during the months I was missing.

In short, if I want to make money, there are plenty of ways.

"Hah, Ning Wangshu, it's only been a few months, and you've become so arrogant?

Earlier this afternoon, you were the same, confidently saying that if you said that Xu would die in three days, he must die in three days.

How can you be so sure? Do you think you're a god? Can you decide life and death with a word?"

Ning Ruoxuan mocked.

Ning Wangshu chuckled and said, "Maybe... I really am a 'god'? As for that Xu, in three days, he will definitely die!

You're a god? Hah... Then I'm the Queen Mother of the West, the Nine Heavens Maiden! Can you stop talking nonsense?"

Ning Ruoxuan was amused.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Ning Wangshu was momentarily speechless.

He hesitated about whether to reveal the truth to his sister, but considering he had just returned today and his sister hadn't fully processed her emotions yet...

If he told her he was practically a demigod, it might be too overwhelming for her.

So, Ning Wangshu thought it over and decided to wait a few more days until his sister had fully adjusted before telling her.

By then, he could also teach her immortal cultivation.

Although the Spiritual Qi on Earth was very thin, Ning Wangshu's storage ring contained a vast amount of Spirit Stones, as well as various Spirit Herbs and Spirit Pills.

Supporting his sister's cultivation wouldn't be a problem at all.

Thus, Ning Wangshu didn't argue with his sister, just smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I won't say more. Anyway... you'll see in three days."

Ning Ruoxuan pursed her lips, not bothering to say more, and continued eating...
