There were a lot of people at Heavenly Law Sect’s public square. When Ning Shu saw that Old Man Wei was waiting for her, she immediately ran over and called, “Dad.”
Old Man Wei’s eyes were a little red. “It’s good that you’re back. I thought you would die in the dungeon. I heard just now that two disciples had died this time, so I thought something had happened to you.”
“Dad, I’m fine. It’s all thanks to the fact that you gave me a lightning wind eagle.” As Ning Shu spoke, she started heading towards her room.
“Dad, do you know how to set up an isolation array? I have something good to give you,” said Ning Shu after she closed the door.
Old Man Wei waved dismissively. “Dad’s fine. You should keep it for yourself.”
“It’s something really good.” When Ning Shu saw Old Man Wei react like ‘this daddy’s not interested in whatever crap you have,’ she took out the box from her storage pouch.
When Old Man Wei saw that his son seemed serious, he set up an array with a wave of his hand, then said, “Alright, let me see what you mean?”
Then he said teasingly, “It’s the first time you’ve ever wanted to give me something.”
Ning Shu opened the box. It contained a snow-white fruit that glowed with a complicated aura. Old Man Wei wasn’t interested at first since he didn’t think that his hopeless son would ever be able to take out anything good.
However, when he saw this fruit, his eyes widened and he hastily slammed the box shut as he exclaimed, “Hurry and put it away! How did you manage to obtain this?”
“Dad, you’re crushing my hand,” said Ning Shu stiffly. Old Man Wei had abruptly closed the box, so her thumb had been caught. However, he had even pushed harder to make sure it shut firmly, so it fricking hurt.
Old Man Wei: …
Ning Shu gave this fruit that was supposed to help with understanding the principles of the world to Old Man Wei. After thinking for a moment, she gave him a piece of spirit essence crystal as well. “Dad, I happened to pick this up, so you can have it.”
“What…” Old Man Wei looked at the spirit essence crystal, then his eyes almost popped out. He hastily put it away as he lectured Ning Shu, “You can’t casually take things like this out, you know? It’s too precious! If other people saw, they’ll kill you to snatch it!”
Ning Shu nodded. When she saw that Old Man Wei was only putting the things away, she said, “Dad, you should eat the fruit. It’s safest once it’s inside your stomach.”
“Eating the spirit fruit like this is such a waste. I’ll eat it once it’s refined into a pill.” Old Man Wei couldn’t bring himself to eat it.
Ning Shu didn’t feel that making it into a pill would increase its effects and what if the refinement failed? Then this fruit would be gone. It’d be better to eat it now, so she snatched the fruit out of his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
The skin broke and a fresh fragrance along with a pure energy instantly drifted out. Old Man Wei’s heart trembled with pain but he quickly ate the spirit fruit with a few bites. He even opened his mouth and tried to suck in the spirit energy released into the air by the fruit.
Ning Shu: …
“I’m going to train in seclusion. Look after yourself.” Old Man Wei’s aura was pulsing unsteadily. It seemed like he was about to have a breakthrough.
Ning Shu nodded. “I got it, Dad. Be careful with your training.”
“En, I know. You’ve become much more energetic now. Seems like it’d be good for you to visit the outside world more instead of holing up in Heavenly Law Sect all the time.” Old Man Wei then sighed. “Who would’ve thought I’d one day get a present from my son? My heart aches.”
“Dad, help me set up an isolation array around my house? I want to train in isolation for a while too,” said Ning Shu.
Old Man Wei help her set up an isolation array, then left. Once Old Man Wei got far away, Ning Shu took out the celestial residence. The celestial residence was only about the size of a small chunk of ice in her palm. A plane that large had actually managed to shrink into this size, it was pretty amazing.
Ning Shu said to 2333, “Let’s send this plane back.”
Since she had made the plane a promise, she had to keep it.
