Chapter 137 Do you want to see him again?
A complex light flashed in Nan Qiao's eyes, with desire, hesitation, and more of entanglement.
She actually wanted to meet Wang Qi again. She wanted to see whether the man who had fought alongside her was still strong and whether he still remembered the past years at the age of a hundred.
However, when she thought about how she had already sacrificed herself in front of Wang Qi, and how he had married and had children in his later life, and had already started a new chapter in his life, it was obvious that he had gradually let go of the past with her.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself, is it necessary for her to appear in front of him again?
Perhaps, in Wang Qi's long memory, I have long been diluted by time and forgotten by him completely.
Thinking of this, Nan Qiao's lips opened and closed slightly, but in the end she couldn't utter a word. The look of wanting to say something but stopping made it clear to anyone that she was struggling inside.
Zhao Gang, who was standing by, took in all the changes in Nan Qiao's expression. Seeing her hesitant to speak, he stepped forward and asked with concern, "Miss Nan Qiao, if you want to meet General Wang, I can arrange a meeting between you and him."
Nan Qiao was slightly stunned, then slowly shook her head, bit her lower lip, and said softly, "No, Uncle Zhao Gang, thank you for your kindness. I... I'd better leave."
Nan Qiao waved his hand gently, with a trace of fatigue and determination on his face. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about the tangled things just now.
She stood up slowly, her posture still upright, but there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
"Uncle Zhao Gang, I have to go back and consolidate my cultivation. Although I have gained something from my recent breakthrough, my foundation still needs to be strengthened."
Nan Qiao looked at Zhao Gang and said softly, "I'd like to trouble you to arrange a bamboo house for me to stay in."
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Lin Yue, the bamboo house next to you is still empty. Let Miss Nan Qiao live next to you temporarily."
"Yes, Director Zhao."
Nan Qiao turned back to Colonel Zhang, forcing a faint smile. "Colonel Zhang, I'll be giving another sermon in three days. I hope you can inform everyone then."
"After the sermon, I will return to Kyoto to prepare for school. I won't be able to come back to preach to you for a while."
After Nan Qiao returned to the newly arranged bamboo house, he immediately calmed down and devoted himself to consolidating his cultivation.
Inside the bamboo house, spiritual energy surged around her body, and light flickered. She methodically combed the surging spiritual energy in her body according to the cultivation method, making it more condensed and stable.
In this way, three days passed quickly. On the day of the sermon, everyone gathered early, eagerly waiting for Nan Qiao to start his speech.
Nan Qiao stood on the high platform, his eyes slowly sweeping over the people below. When he saw Chen Yu, Li Hao, Luo Yao, and Zhang Feng, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
The spiritual energy fluctuations around these people were obviously much stronger than before, and there were faint signs that they were about to break through the third level of Qi Refining. It was obvious that they had been practicing very hard in the past few days.
Nan Qiao nodded slightly and began to preach. Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet brimming with calmness and authority as she explained the principles of cultivation and the wonders of harnessing spiritual power.
Everyone in the audience was listening with fascination, and from time to time they showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.
After the sermon, Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved when he saw the people in the audience seemed to have gained a lot.
Then, she boarded the business car that had been prepared in advance with Lin Yue and Zhao Gang.
As the driver stepped on the accelerator, he gradually drove them away from Lingyu Mountain and headed towards Kyoto.
Nan Qiao stepped into the long-lost Xingyuemeng Bay with a heart full of emotion.
Although she had only been away for less than two months, she felt like she had been away for a long time, as if a long time had passed. Every tree and blade of grass here made her feel both familiar and a little strange.
As soon as I returned to the villa I had not seen for a long time, Aunt Zhang and Master Li came to greet me with smiles on their faces.
Aunt Zhang's eyes were full of love as she kept saying, "Oh, Miss Nan Qiao, we finally have you back! We missed you so much! During the days you were away, we felt like we had nothing to do every day and felt so empty inside."
Master Li also nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, Miss Nan Qiao, you don't know, without you here, this house is much quieter."
As they spoke, the two of them came over enthusiastically, asking one after another, "Miss Nan Qiao, what would you like to eat right now? Chef Li will make it for you right away. I guarantee it will be your favorite."
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll go open it." Nan Qiao responded and hurried to the door. He stretched out his hand and gently pulled the door. The door opened and he saw Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang from next door who he hadn't seen for a long time standing at the door.
The two old men had kind smiles on their faces. Grandpa Jiang was the first to speak: "Hey, Xiao Qiao, you're finally back. We old couple have been thinking about you every day."
Grandma Jiang nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of concern and joy: "Yes, yes, I thought something happened to you. You were away from home for so long, and we were so worried. Now that you're back, it's good."
"Grandpa Jiang, Grandma Jiang, I'm so sorry. I had some things to deal with before, so I was delayed for a few days."
Nan Qiao asked doubtfully, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Grandma Jiang smiled and nodded, her eyes full of love. "It's nothing serious. It's just that in two days, it's your Grandpa Jiang's 80th birthday, and we plan to have a banquet at Fumanyuan to celebrate."
"I specially invite you today. I hope you can come in two days." Grandpa Jiang handed Nan Qiao an antique invitation letter.
When she heard the three words "Fu Manyuan", a hint of understanding flashed in Nan Qiao's eyes. She knew Fu Manyuan.
That is a long-established restaurant in Kyoto with a history of a hundred years. It is now closed to the public and only serves a specific group of people.
Nan Qiao took the invitation and looked at Grandpa Jiang carefully and said, "So Grandpa Jiang is about to turn eighty. He doesn't look energetic at all."
Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang immediately laughed out loud, "You are such a sweet girl."
Grandma Jiang smiled and nodded: "So Xiao Qiao, you have to come, it will be lively and fun then."
Nan Qiao quickly nodded and agreed: "Grandma Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely go to celebrate Grandpa Jiang's birthday. I won't miss such an important day."
Seeing Nan Qiao's agreement, the two old men smiled with satisfaction. After chatting for a few more words, they stood up and prepared to leave.
After Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang left, Master Li walked up to them with a smile and asked with concern, "Miss Nan Qiao, you must be hungry now. What would you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you right away."
