44: Chapter 44 Farewell

Evening.

Tianjing.

The Republic is vast and rich in resources, with a long history.

Inevitably, a large number of Families have emerged.

Families are entities that have occupied an advantageous position in history, accumulating power over three, five... or even dozens of generations, allowing the entire clan to become a massive group.

The Nangong Family is exactly like this.

The power of technology has only been rising for two hundred years.

Two hundred years ago, and even thousands of years ago, cold weapons were the mainstream.

People back then relied on personal martial prowess.

They used force to ward off dangers and used force to resist natural disasters.

"In ancient times, there must have been a period of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi recovery, right!?"

Ji Yebai looked at the grand courtyard in the distance, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

This question was only a guess in his previous life; there was no answer.

With the recovery of heaven and earth and the explosion of Spiritual Qi, various Cultivation Techniques could manifest power.

So where did these Cultivation Techniques come from!?

Why could the Secret Manuals passed down by some Families for hundreds of years be practiced!?

Could it be that they were created by people in an environment without Spiritual Qi!?

"That is impossible!"

Ji Yebai sighed softly.

It is easy to look down from a high vantage point, but difficult to plan from below.

Moreover, it was not just one or two Cultivation Techniques that recovered, but millions of them.

"Therefore!"

Ji Yebai muttered to himself: "These Cultivation Techniques must be the Legacy of the previous generation!"

"The Central Plains have gone through many turmoils, and coupled with the saying that 'knights use martial arts to defy the law,' there are very few descriptions of Martial Forest affairs in history."

"Only some so-called unofficial histories have sporadic records."

Ji Yebai raised his head, some unofficial histories floating in his mind.

"During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, among the hundred schools of thought, it is said that Confucius was eight feet tall and established his position as a sage through martial prowess."

"During the Qin Dynasty, gods and demons ran wild, and there was the Yue Maiden who broke through three thousand armored guards with a single sword."

"Sigh, I wonder if this is true!"

Ji Yebai thought quickly in his heart.

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is undeniable that some of the Cultivation Techniques passed down by Families are very Advanced!"

Ji Yebai looked up.

The Nangong Clan before him was exactly like that.

The Bright Jade Manual they passed down shone with dazzling brilliance in later generations.

Whew!

Exhaling a breath to calm his thoughts, Ji Yebai smiled slightly and dashed forward in a flash.

...

The Nangong Clan.

A small building.

Although the Nangong Clan had declined somewhat after modern times, it still had a deep foundation.

The small courtyard, covering thousands of square meters, looked as beautiful as ever.

Meanwhile.

In the small building's living room.

Nangong Qing was sitting on the sofa in shorts, her smooth, slender feet swaying slightly.

Her wet hair hung down, and her fair face was flushed.

She picked up a beverage from the table and took a sip.

It was the one she liked the most.

Then, she dialed a phone call.

"Comrade Xiaomiao, why are you calling!"

Nangong Qing said while combing her hair.

"Nangong Qing, what are you doing, not answering my calls!!!"

A roar came from the phone, and Nangong Qing disgustedly held the phone away.

After a while, she replied: "I just went to take a shower!"

"Oh! Alright then, this Young Miss forgives you!"

The person on the phone changed her tone and continued: "The girls are planning to go to a bar tonight, and they asked me to invite you!"

"A bar!?"

Nangong Qing's delicate eyebrows slowly furrowed: "I'm not going to that kind of place!"

The person on the phone immediately bristled upon hearing this: "What kind of place!? Please, it's a legitimate establishment, what are you thinking of!? It was opened by Yanhong's younger brother, and we're going to support him!"

"Pfft, she treats every man she meets like a brother. I don't even know all those brothers, I'm not going!"

Nangong Qing curled her lips.

But just at this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A knock on the door sounded.

"Alright, alright, someone from the Family is here to see me, I can't talk to you anymore!"

Nangong Qing quickly hung up the phone and threw on her bathrobe: "Who is it!"

"It's me! Ji Yebai!"

A gentle voice sounded.

Clang!

The door opened.

Nangong Qing looked at Ji Yebai in surprise: "It's really you!?"

"How did you get here!?"

Nangong Qing looked behind Ji Yebai, and there was no one there.

For a moment, she couldn't understand.

"I'm here to give you something!"

"What!?"

Nangong Qing was somewhat stunned.

Ji Yebai looked at the beautiful face before him, smiled slightly, and a few traces of sighing flashed in his eyes.

"You're someone who once called me brother-in-law, so before I leave, I'm giving you a big gift!"

Nangong Qing looked at Ji Yebai suspiciously: "Where are you going!"

"Going abroad!"

After saying this, Ji Yebai handed over the spirit gathering grass in his hand: "This is for you!"

Nangong Qing subconsciously took it and looked at it blankly.

A pot of quite lush... grass!?

"This thing is very precious!"

Ji Yebai's voice came, and Nangong Qing looked at the grass in her hand in confusion.

Just this!?

She looked up at Ji Yebai, feeling very strange, and said irritably: "You ran over here in the middle of the night just to give me a pot of grass!?"

Ji Yebai shrugged and spread his hands: "I'm leaving, so I just stopped by to see you before I go!"

"Really leaving!?"

Nangong Qing fiddled with the plant in her hand, her long hair hanging down, making it hard to see her face.

"Yes!"

Ji Yebai nodded and said: "Once I leave, I probably won't be back for many years! Next time we meet, who knows what the situation will be!"

Two years later, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi would recover, and in the third year of the recovery, the little girl before him would become a world-renowned First-class Overlord, occupying the top of the heavenly pride list.

Although this was in his previous life.

But Ji Yebai believed that in this life, the little girl would still be dazzling.

After all, having been Rebirth in this life, Ji Yebai had tried his best not to change the course of history.

He had lived alone in the deep mountains for eight years, minimizing any butterfly effect.

All this was to ensure the trajectory of history.

The historical process of his previous life was generally very good.

The national landscape directly occupied the Peak position, leading the global martial arts era.

For the citizens, the Longevity Fist was popularized, everyone's Lifespan skyrocketed, and with a Divine Brave Body, they did not fear disease.

Prodigies bloomed, and a hundred flowers blossomed.

Although some individuals were miserable, it was good overall.

Therefore, Ji Yebai did not take any actions to interfere with the historical process.

Even if he did, he tried to minimize the impact.

Nangong Qing looked at Ji Yebai with strange eyes: "Are you not planning to come back!?"

"I will! It's just that the time is uncertain."

Ji Yebai said with a smile.

After speaking, Ji Yebai paused: "It's getting late, I have to go! I need to catch a flight!"

"Huh?"

Nangong Qing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Then I'll see you off!"

After saying this, she turned back to her room to put down the grass in her hand.

Ji Yebai watched this scene and immediately said with a smile: "No need, you're in your pajamas, it's not convenient. I'll just walk out myself!"

"I'm leaving!"

Ji Yebai said and turned to leave.

Without any hesitation.

"Huh!?"

Nangong Qing was slightly stunned and hurriedly walked to the door.

But she only saw Ji Yebai's back.

"I'll get the driver to take you!"

But she saw Ji Yebai wave his hand without looking back.

Nangong Qing watched in confusion for a while, feeling that it was very strange and nonsensical.

After thinking for a while, she gained nothing.

She picked up her phone and called the driver.

"Uncle Wang, someone named Ji Yebai has just left, please take him to the airport!"

Putting down the phone, Nangong Qing came to the table and looked at the plant before her.

"Was it really just to give me a plant!?"

Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion.

Regarding this former quasi-brother-in-law, she didn't know how to get along with him.

Logically, after three years of getting along back then, they should at least be friends, especially since she used to pester him and her sister.

But.

After all, it was her sister who connected everyone.

All emotions were built upon her sister.

Now that her sister had passed away, those emotions should naturally be severed.

They should also become strangers.

Nangong Qing's emotions fluctuated, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with that pot of grass.

Just like that, fifteen minutes later.

Buzz!

The phone rang.

Nangong Qing picked up the phone.

It was Uncle Wang!

"Hello, Uncle Wang!"

Nangong Qing answered the phone.

"Young Miss, there is no one here!"

A middle-aged man at the main gate looked around in confusion.

"No one!?"

Nangong Qing looked at the time in confusion and said: "He walked past here just over ten minutes ago, didn't you see him!?"

"No!"

"Did he get lost!?"

The estate was thousands of square meters, so getting lost was possible.

"I've already had people look for him, but we didn't find him!"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man said somewhat strangely: "And... I have already asked the guards, and none of them have seen a gentleman named Ji."

"Haven't seen him!?"

Nangong Qing's voice was slightly surprised: "Wasn't he brought over by them!?"

Ji Yebai had been to the house once before, but she wasn't living in this small building at that time.

Just now, Ji Yebai found this place directly, so she thought he was brought by the guards.

"No!"

The middle-aged man said firmly: "Every visitor is registered, and there is no Mr. Ji's name today!"

"Then how did he get here!?"

Nangong Qing was bewildered.

She had felt vaguely strange just now, and now it was even stranger.

This former quasi-brother-in-law seemed to be different.

...

Meanwhile, Ji Yebai had already left the Nangong estate unhurriedly.

The strength of those guards was, to him, non-existent.

With the support of Internal Energy, his hearing could extend to a range of one thousand meters.

Although the estate was large, he could easily find Nangong Qing and avoid the crowds.

He did not want to disturb others in the Nangong Family.

He wanted to avoid seeing Nangong Qing's parents.

If the old couple saw him, they would likely be reminded of their eldest daughter.

Joy can be an illness, and worry can also be an illness.

"Let me leave without any worries!"

Ji Yebai smiled indifferently.

The bright moonlight shone down.

Internal Energy resonated.

A faint, five-colored glow enveloped him.

Making him look extraordinary.

Time flowed quietly like water.

The Nangong estate was more than one hundred kilometers away from the airport.

Even if a taxi wanted to get there, it would take more than an hour, and if they hit traffic, it might take even longer.

But for Ji Yebai, this distance only took him one hour.

And this wasn't even Ji Yebai's fastest speed.

He was just leisurely traveling using Internal Energy.

He didn't burst forth; otherwise, the time could likely have been significantly reduced.

At the airport, Ji Yebai walked in leisurely.

Two hours later.

An airplane roared into the sky, accompanied by a rumble, piercing through the clouds.
