"It's been 11 years. I'm afraid he's already married …"
Zhao Lei was slightly stunned.
The memories in her mind were already a little blurry. 11 years had passed on Earth, but she had stayed in the Moon Elephant Sect for countless years and did not count them carefully.
However, it was long enough for her to forget someone's face.
"It's alright, it won't be a problem to meet him. I'm here for a walk anyway. Do you just want to take a look at Earth here and return to the Moon Elephant Sect?"
Ning Qi smiled.
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment before revealing a smile. Naturally, she could not just look at Earth here. She had many friends and family on Earth that she had to meet no matter what.
Thinking of this, she scanned the Earth with her Divine Will and soon locked onto the aura of her family. However, her expression changed slightly. Seeing that, Ning Qi did not ask anything.
The two of them disappeared from where they were. When they reappeared, they were already on a busy street. The pedestrians nearby did not notice the two of them appearing out of thin air at all. In fact, they did not seem to see Ning Qi and Zhao Lei at all.
"Senior Brother Wu, your clothes?"
Zhao Lei was stunned to see that Ning Qi's clothes had turned into an ordinary T-shirt and jeans. She then reacted and hurriedly cast a spell to change her clothes.
Her clothes in the Moon Elephant Sect were like those in historical dramas. If she was seen by others, it would inevitably attract strange gazes.
"Actually, you don't have to change. Many people like to wear Han clothes now."
Ning Qi smiled.
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Actually, when I first arrived at the Moon Elephant Sect, the only thing I was most satisfied with was the clothes of the Moon Elephant Sect."
The two of them chatted as they walked. In the beginning, Zhao Lei's eyes were constantly scanning the surrounding scenery and pedestrians, as if she couldn't get enough of it. When they entered a villa district, a trace of timidity appeared in Zhao Lei's eyes.
"Feeling homesick?"
Ning Qi smiled.
Zhao Lei shook her head. "I just don't know how to explain where I went in the 11 years that I was missing. 11 years is extremely long for mortals. I disappeared without a trace and didn't even leave a message. I'm afraid there must have been many changes in my family because of that."
"Since you're back, those changes can be reversed. Given your means, giving your family a few elixirs will be enough to make up for the 11 years."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Can I?"
Zhao Lei was slightly startled. "Aren't we not allowed to interfere with the order of the mortal world?"
"Disrupt the order? In the cultivation world, there has never been such a thing. You can give medicinal pills to your family members, or even help them with their cultivation. You can forcibly increase their cultivation bases, and no one will care about you. This is an opportunity that belongs to them. Not even the natural laws of the Heavenly Dao can restrict your actions. "
Ning Qi smiled and shook his head.
Zhao Lei finally understood. She had thought that she would not be able to casually let her family know about her cultivation. In that case, it would not be difficult to explain why she had been missing for eleven years.
A smile appeared on Zhao Lei's face.
"Your family is quite rich, right?"
Ning Qi glanced at the surrounding buildings. The villas here were extremely luxurious, and the green area had reached more than 70%. It was such a large piece of land, but so much greenery had been done. It was enough to show the quality of this villa area.
"My father started a small business, but when I disappeared, his business had already run into some problems. I didn't expect that after 11 years, he would have already gotten over the crisis."
Zhao Lei nodded.
Not long after, the two stopped in front of a villa. At that moment, there were several luxury cars parked outside the villa.
"Press the doorbell. If we go in directly, we will scare them."
Ning Qi smiled.
Zhao Lei hesitated for a moment before reaching out and pressing the doorbell. Then, a woman dressed as an auntie opened the door and looked at Ning Qi and Zhao Lei with some confusion.
"Who are you two looking for?"
"Auntie Chen, it's me, Zhao Lei."
When Zhao Lei saw the woman in her fifties, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Zhao Lei … Xiao Lei?"
Auntie Chen's eyes gradually revealed a trace of astonishment. Soon, she finally recognized Zhao Lei based on her memory. However, Zhao Lei looked exactly the same as when she had disappeared. In fact, she looked even younger, so she couldn't recognize Zhao Lei at first sight.
"Xiao Lei, it's really you!"
Auntie Chen suddenly shouted in surprise. She turned around and shouted, "Master, Madam, Xiao Lei is back!"
Soon, a series of hurried voices came from inside the villa. Not long after, more than ten figures squeezed to the door. More than ten pairs of eyes fell on Zhao Lei at the same time.
The man and woman walking at the front looked to be about sixty years old. They were already showing signs of old age. They stared at Zhao Lei in disbelief. Their mouths were slightly open, but no words came out.
However, behind them stood a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl looked at Zhao Lei with a scrutinizing gaze and suddenly said, "She's not Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei was already twenty-three years old when she disappeared. How can she be so young!"
"Xiao Xi?"
After seeing the girl, Zhao Lei thought for a moment and finally recognized her.
The girl's name was Zhao Xi, and she was her biological sister. She was fifteen years younger than her. Counting the past eleven years, Zhao Xi was already nineteen years old!
"Do you really recognize me?"
Zhao Xi still had a doubtful look on her face.
However, the old couple suddenly walked out of the door and walked toward Zhao Lei with some excitement.
"Dad, Mom."
Zhao Lei smiled, but her eyes were already red.
"Xiao Lei, it's really you!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Lei's mother rushed forward and hugged her tightly. Tears flowed down her face as she muttered, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back! Mom thought I would never see you again in this life! "
"Yes, it's good that you're back."
Zhao Lei's father seemed to be more steady. Although he was excited, he did not immediately go forward. Then, he noticed Ning Qi standing behind Zhao Lei. His eyes revealed the same scrutinizing look as Zhao Xi.
"Is it really cousin?"
"It's good that cousin is fine. Everyone, come into the house and talk!"
Soon, everyone arrived at the villa and sat on the sofa in the living room. Zhao Lei's parents kept asking her where she had been all these years, while the rest of the people had strange expressions on their faces. Among them, Zhao Xi's expression was extremely ugly. Occasionally, she would look at Zhao Lei with a trace of resentment and doubt.
Zhao Lei looked too young now. Some people would believe that she was seventeen or eighteen years old. However, Zhao Lei should be thirty-four years old now!
"Zhao Lei, is this your boyfriend?"
Zhao Xi suddenly looked at Ning Qi and said coldly.
Zhao Lei's parents also reacted and looked at Ning Qi in unison. Their daughter had been missing for many years, but she had returned with a man. This caused a trace of suspicion to arise in their hearts. Could it be that this man had kidnapped their daughter? But soon, they felt that this was not the case. Ning Qi also looked very young. Eleven years ago, he should have been a child …
