Great Fire Country, Capital Bay Area...
When Xia Ning woke up, her pillow was still wet from her tears. In her dream last night, she saw her elder brother Xia Pingan again.
In that dream, Xia Pingan told her that he was doing well and that he ate a lot, had a lot of fun, and that the mission was going very smoothly. He told her not to worry and that he would come to see her again when he had time.
In her dream, Xia Ning held Xia Pingan's hand and asked him not to leave. However, Xia Pingan's figure gradually disappeared in her dream. Then, Xia Ning burst into tears in her dream.
That dream was too real. It was as if Xia Pingan was really standing in front of her and saying those words to her.
Xia Ning had also had dreams about Xia Pingan before. However, those dreams were a bit bizarre. She dreamed that Xia Pingan had married her sister-in-law, that Xia Pingan had suddenly returned, and even that she had set up a stall with Xia Pingan. The most terrifying dream was when she dreamed that Xia Pingan was fighting a large group of monsters. The last dream directly scared her awake.
However, none of those dreams was as real as the one she had last night.
That dream was like a letter from home, bringing the news of Xia Pingan. It was kind, warm, and tireless.
Thinking of last night's dream, Xia Ning, who was still in her pajamas, walked out of her room absent-mindedly.
Outside the room were the living room and kitchen, which were cozy and tidy. At this moment, it was dawn. In the living room facing the south, the first ray of sunlight had already reached the living room. Through the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, Zhang Tie could see the high blue bell tower of the National University of the Capital Circle and the Central Park of the National University of the Fire Country. The environment outside was very good. There were large lakes, grasslands, forests and flocks of flying pigeons. In the Capital Circle, Xia Ning was living in a senior apartment. Every inch of land here was expensive. Being close to the school, the security here was very good.
Although some places in the Great Fire Country had not fully recovered, the order and production in the Capital Bay Area had been restored. Additionally, the supplies were very sufficient. The rationing system had been gradually canceled.
In the kitchen next to the living room, a tall and slim woman with black hair in a white robe was boiling something. The strong aroma of coffee drifted in the kitchen.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, the beautiful and gentle An Qing turned around with a faint smile. "Ningning, you woke up so early. It's the weekend. I will wake you up when I'm done with breakfast..." An Qing then noticed that Xia Ning looked a bit strange. She seemed to have been crying. "Ahh, what's wrong..."
After Xia Pingan joined the "Heavens Patching Plan", those former friends of Xia Pingan and those summoners of the Committee of Order in Xianghe City had all taken care of Xia Ning as their younger sister.
After the Heavenly Tribulation, the summoners in various places had been greatly adjusted. This high-end apartment belonged to An Qing. At this moment, An Qing had been transferred from Yizhou Province to an institution under the Committee of Order in the Capital Region. She could take care of Xia Ning, who was studying in the Capital Region National University.
Xia Ning burst into tears. She rushed over and hugged An Qing. Then, she buried her head in An Qing's chest and burst into tears.
"Ahh, what's wrong?" An Qing was at a loss when she saw Xia Ning crying so sadly as soon as she got up.
"Sister Qing, last night... I dreamed... of my brother..." Xia Ning said while sobbing.
"You dreamed of Ping An?" An Qing patted Xia Ning's shoulder and comforted her. "But you don't have to cry so sadly!"
"That dream was too real. It was like I saw... my brother in front of me... He said that he went on a mission... Everything is fine now, and I don't have to worry. He also told me a lot of things... Sister Qing... Tell me... What mission did my brother go on... Why can't I even call him... There's no news... I don't want to study at the National University anymore, and I don't want to learn painting from Teacher Yu... Tell them that I'm willing to go back to Xianghe City. I don't want anything. Tell my brother to come back, okay?"
In the beginning, An Qing and the others did not know about Xia Pingan and Yan Duo's mission. They only knew that it was a confidential mission. It was not until An Qing came to the Capital Circle and came into contact with some things that An Qing roughly understood what Xia Pingan and Yan Duo's mission was.
Looking at the crying Xia Ning, An Qing's eyes also turned red. She also resisted the urge to cry, and could only use lies to comfort Xia Ning, "Look, you even dreamt that your brother is fine. Your brother will definitely be fine. Your brother is so powerful, and he's fine even after such a huge heavenly tribulation. Who can hurt him …"
Xia Ning raised his teary eyes and asked softly, "Sister Qing, do you think this is a dream? I heard... I heard that only when the person is no longer around will they give a dream to their loved ones?" "It's not a dream. It's a dream.
"It's definitely not a dream. Don't listen to the nonsense of those frauds. Let me tell you, some powerful summoners can have a spiritual connection and resonance with their loved ones. You dreamed of your brother last night. It should be that your brother was also thinking about you, and he was absolutely fine, so he had a reaction with you!" In order to comfort Xia Ning, Yasuharu had to make up a set of excuses.
"Really?" Xia Ning wiped his tears and suddenly became energetic.
"Of course it's true!" An Qing stroked Xia Ning's hair and nodded. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Lingshan and Old Tu the next time you see them..."
"Then why didn't my brother give me a call?"
"The turmoil around the world hasn't completely subsided yet. Your brother should be carrying out a secret mission. This is the mission discipline. He definitely can't contact his family. Don't think too much about it. Hurry up and wash your face, then come out for breakfast..."
Seeing that Xia Ning's face had regained its radiance and went to the bathroom to wash up, An Qing gently bit her lip and sighed in her heart. She didn't know how long this lie could be maintained. She hoped that time would dilute everything.
Xia Ning was still in the bathroom. An Qing picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello..." Mo Yanshao's calm and mellow voice came from the other side of the phone. "An Qing, what's the matter?"
"It's Xia Ning's twenty-first birthday soon. You guys arrange to give him a birthday gift in his brother's name. It's not easy for me to do things in the capital circle. She dreamed of her brother again last night. I'm worried that if she finds out the truth too early, she might not be able to take it..."
Mo Yanshao and the others vaguely knew what Xia Pingan and Yan Duo were doing.
On the other side of the phone, Mo Yanshao was silent for a while. "Okay, I got it. I'll get someone to arrange it!"
"Oh right, how's the situation in Yi Zhou? I saw the briefing. The situation in Yi Zhou is pretty good!"
"Mm, it's alright. As long as the space invasion stops and there are no new monsters, the Committee of Order and the military are clearing out those monsters together. Things are going smoothly. Next month, Yi Zhou will gradually cancel the rationing system from Xinchuan City and gradually restore order. The old man's position might be moved up a bit..."
"The Devil's Eye is completely hidden now, but there are still some movements. You guys should be more careful."
"Don't worry, we'll deal with them sooner or later. I heard that the politicians and military in the capital circle are fighting fiercely. You should be more careful too!"
"Mm, I'm not interested in politics. I only do what I should do."
The two quickly ended the call.
The current Mo Yanshao was no longer Director Mo. He had been transferred to the headquarters of the Yi Zhou Committee of Order. His authority had increased, and he had become Minister Mo.
After the Heavenly Tribulation, many things had changed, but some things would not change. Instead, they would become even more precious.
After putting down the phone, An Qing began to focus on making breakfast. Breakfast was not ready yet. After washing up, Xia Ning came out in a new set of clothes and went to the kitchen to make breakfast with An Qing.
At this moment, Xia Ning had completely transformed into a young lady. After eating the body-strengthening pill that Xia Pingan gave her, Xia Ning's hair was as black as silk. It shone. Her skin was delicate and rosy, and her eyes were bright and spirited. Her entire body seemed to have a kind of radiance that was exceptionally dazzling. Even in the National University, Xia Ning was the focus of the campus. Many people were chasing after her.
When they were eating breakfast, Xia Ning's phone rang. After glancing at the name on the phone, Xia Ning hung up without hesitation.
An Qing looked at the phone. It was a boy's name. She smiled and glanced at Xia Ning. "Why didn't you pick up the phone?"
Xia Ning shook her head and pursed her lips. "Those boys in school are so annoying. They're so lovey-dovey all day long. All of them think they're so great and only know how to talk big. My brother is not like that …"
An Qing smiled faintly. Xia Ning was already a grown-up. It was just that Xia Ning and Xia Pingan had been together for too long. When she met those boys who pursued her, she couldn't help but compare them with her brother. Among those boys in school, how many of them could compare with her brother? He was responsible, capable, courageous, wise, brave, responsible, and knew how to take care of others.
If Xia Ning used Xia Pingan's standards to pick people, she wouldn't make a mistake. However, there weren't many boys who could meet Xia Ning's standards.
Thinking of Xia Pingan, An Qing had some inexplicable feelings in her heart. However, at this moment, she could only sigh with slight melancholy.
At this time, An Qing only thought of Xia Ning's dream last night as a dream of Xia Ning missing Xia Pingan. She didn't think too much about it.
...
When they were eating breakfast, Xia Pingan was ready to step out of the fortress of the Spiritual Realm once again.
At this moment, the sky of the Spiritual Realm had become transparent. Those stars had already hidden themselves. A thin layer of fog rose in the wilderness outside the fortress. In the fog, the polluted black qi in the greenery became more obvious — — gloomy, cold, and depressed.
Elder Mu sent Xia Pingan to the gate of the fortress once again.
"There are more zombies in the mountain ahead. As long as Your Majesty's soul energy increases by two times, it will be easy for you to learn the soul refining skill …"
