"Huh?"
Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment before she quickly shook her head. A blush flashed across her face. "This is Senior Brother Wu, not my boyfriend."
"Senior Brother Wu? What kind of address is that? "
Zhao Xi frowned. "Zhao Lei, there's been no news from you all these years. You didn't even come back to see Mom and Dad. Do you know how much they've cried for you? You're so nervous the moment you come back. What's your purpose for coming back today? "
"Purpose?"
Zhao Lei was stunned. She couldn't understand Zhao Xi's attitude. Shouldn't her sister be happy that she was back? Why did she vaguely feel a sense of rejection from Zhao Xi?
"Zhao Xi, she's your sister. Don't be so disrespectful!"
Zhao Lei's mother's eyes flashed with anger.
"Mom, I'm still wondering if she's Zhao Lei. Even if she's Zhao Lei, she's not my sister. She disappeared for more than ten years and now she's back. What's the meaning of this?"
Zhao Xi snorted coldly.
When the others saw this, they did not make a sound. They were all Zhao Xi's cousins. Among them, there were two pairs of similarly old couples who had been scrutinizing Ning Qi and Zhao Lei from beginning to end. One of these two couples was Zhao Lei's aunt and uncle, while the other was Zhao Lei's aunt and uncle.
"Little Xi, I know that these past ten years..."
Zhao Lei's face revealed a trace of sadness.
However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Zhao Xi, "You don't have to say anything else. I've already called the police. Tell them what happened in the past ten years that you've been missing. At the same time, do a paternity test to see if you're Zhao Lei or if someone had plastic surgery to deceive our Zhao family."
"Brother, Little Xi is right. I think we have to be careful about this matter. I doted on Little Lei a lot back then, but this Little Lei looks really too young now..."
Zhao Lei's aunt said in a low voice.
When Zhao Lei's father heard this, his expression became somewhat complicated. However, Zhao Lei's mother had always believed that the person in front of her was her daughter!
"Little Lei, tell Mom, where have you been all these years?"
Zhao Lei's mother said in a low voice.
"I went up the mountain to cultivate. A day on the mountain is ten years on earth. Junior Sister Zhao Lei accidentally went into seclusion for too long. In the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed."
Ning Qi said lightly.
Go up the mountain to cultivate?
When everyone heard this, their expressions became even more strange. In their eyes, Ning Qi and Zhao Lei had already become liars. Even if Zhao Lei really wasn't an imposter, using such an excuse, they obviously had other motives for returning home!
"Little Lei, you … really went to cultivate?"
Zhao Lei's mother was stunned.
"Senior Brother Wu is right. I did go up the mountain to cultivate."
Zhao Lei nodded.
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Lei's uncle, who had been silent all this while, suddenly shouted. He stood up from his chair and stared at Ning Qi with bright eyes. "Speak! What is your purpose?!"
"Zhao Lei, I'm afraid you've forgotten that I used to be a criminal police officer. Although I'm retired now, I can still tell what you're up to with just a glance!"
Zhao Xi sneered.
"Junior Sister Zhao Lei, it seems like they don't really believe you. Why don't you show us a thing or two to avoid future trouble?"
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
When Zhao Lei heard this, she suddenly thought of something. A flying sword appeared out of thin air in front of everyone and circled around them a few times. Her uncle was dumbfounded. He retreated back to the sofa and sat down.
After a few breaths, the flying sword disappeared.
The hall became silent.
After a while, Zhao Lei's father looked at everyone blankly. "Did you all see that just now?"
"Yes, I saw it …"
"That's a flying sword! I've only seen it in the movies! "
"It's really a flying sword? Could it be some kind of camouflage? "
The expressions of several young people gradually became excited. The way they looked at Ning Qi and Zhao Lei also changed again and again. From the initial suspicion, to the current apprehension and a trace of fear.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Xi suddenly sneered. "For the sake of cultivation, you can not come back for more than ten years? Isn't it just a flying sword? What's so great about it! "
After saying that, she opened her mouth and a flying sword also flew out. After circling around the crowd a few times, it returned to her mouth.
Ning Qi and Zhao Lei were not surprised at all. In fact, Ning Qi could see Zhao Xi's cultivation at a glance. She was just a small cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage. When Zhao Lei used her divine thoughts to search for her family outside Earth, she also noticed that Zhao Xi was a cultivator. At that time, a strange expression appeared on her face.
"Mom, Dad, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but Master said that people like us go against the heavens. We can't easily use our methods in front of mortals, lest we bear too much karma and suffer the Thunder Tribulation."
Zhao Xi said in a low voice.
Her parents looked at each other. Their daughter who had been missing for more than ten years had returned. In the end, she said that she was an immortal who had been cultivating for more than ten years. Now, even their youngest daughter had displayed extraordinary methods. Their worldview suddenly collapsed.
It took a few hours before everyone gradually digested the whole thing. It turned out that Zhao Xi had once traveled abroad and encountered danger. However, she was saved by a Taoist. Later, she was accepted as a disciple by the Taoist and was taught the method of immortal cultivation. When Zhao Xi's cousins saw this, they surrounded her and asked her all sorts of questions. Their faces were full of yearning. As for Zhao Lei and Ning Qi, they were left out. In their opinion, Zhao Xi was clearly closer to them!
"Mom, Dad, my Master will come to the city tonight. Originally, I planned to receive him and a few senior brothers and sisters alone. Since you already know, why don't you go together?"
Zhao Xi said.
After a pause, she glanced at Zhao Lei. "Zhao Lei can also go together. Since we're all in the same circle, it's good to have more interaction. By the way, Zhao Lei, what's your cultivation now?"
"Cultivation? I … "
Zhao Lei's face showed a hint of hesitation.
Zhao Xi smiled. "It doesn't matter if your cultivation is a little low. My Master is one of the top ten experts on Earth. If you're lucky, he can also give you a few pointers."
"Then let's go together?"
Zhao Lei looked at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi smiled. "It's fine if you go. I'll go around."
"Since you're Zhao Lei's senior brother and also a cultivator, there's no reason for you not to pay a visit to a senior like my Master. Otherwise, if your Master finds out, he'll definitely scold you for not knowing etiquette."
Zhao Xi looked at Ning Qi and snorted coldly.
"Zhao Xi, don't talk to Senior Brother Wu like that!"
Zhao Lei's eyes finally surged with a trace of anger.
When Zhao Lei's parents saw this, they hurriedly spoke up to stop the two from quarreling. When it was dinner time, an extremely luxurious stretch Lincoln arrived at the door of the villa. A middle-aged man got out of it. After seeing everyone, he said very politely, "Uncle Zhao Xi, Master asked me to pick you and your family up."
"Senior Brother, you're too polite."
A hint of a smile flashed in Zhao Xi's eyes. Not only did he ask his parents to get in the car, but he also asked his aunt, uncle, aunt, uncle, and cousins to get in the car.
