Chapter 2019: Touring Dian House
Great-Grandpa Dian smacked his thigh. "Good answer. I like you. I will teach you." "Great-Grandpa, she might die if she trains under you in one week... No... No... Probably in three days at most." Dian Ren Qi responded.
"You brat! You are really eager to die, do you?" Great-Grandpa Dian glared at Dian Ren Qi. Dian Ren Qi moved close to Dian Shu Xian's side avoiding Great-Grandpa Dian's stare.
"I also agree with Brother Ren Qi. Great-Grandpa, she is a noob. You can not teach her." Dian Qi Qi also supported Dian Ren Qi's statement.
Hearing this, Dian Ren Qi became confident as he looked up to Great-Grandpa Dian.
"Great-Grandpa, your teaching is more suitable to an experienced cultivator. Not to the one who just found out that she is a cultivator." Yu Qi added.
"Fine... Fine... I will not interfere with this matter." Great-Grandpa Dian pouted.
"Miss Hai, I will choose someone who is suitable to teach you." Grandpa Dian said.
"Thank you, Mr Dian." Hai Qingge nodded.
President Hai and Mrs Hai also thanked them for accepting their daughter. "However, there are rules that you need to follow while you are staying here." Grandpa Dian said.
Grandpa Dian laid all the rules that Hai Qingge needed to follow while she was staying at Dian Family. One of them was their parent would not be allowed to come here anymore. This time, it was their first time and would be the last one. The training that required her to stay in the Dian Family would take only two years. So, she needed to master what she needed to protect herself in the timeline. She could go back to visit her parent twice a year. "Qingge..." Mrs Hai felt reluctant to leave her daughter with strangers. But it would keep her daughter safe.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry. I will call you now and then. We can do a video call if you want to see my face." Hai Qingge smiled a.s.suring her mother that she would be safe.
"Hmm... I understand." Mrs Hai nodded.
"You guys can stay for a night and leave tomorrow." Grandpa Dian stated.
"Thank you." President Hai bowed feeling grateful to the Dian Family who would help them to protect their daughter until she could protect herself.
...
"Brother Shu Xian still wants to extend his vacation?" Yu Qi asked. "Hmm..." Dian Shu Xian nodded.
"Sure. You already submitted the patent for your research. Still need to wait for the approval." Yu Qi did not mind. Dian Shu Xian was away from his house for quite some time. Dian's family would be happy if he spent some time with the family. "Sister Yu Qi, can you stay over?" Dian Qi Qi pouted while pulling Yu Qi's arm.
"Qi Qi, Yu Qi has many works to do." Dian Shu Xian reminded Dian Qi Qi.
"I know..." Dian Qi Qi sighed. On the other side, Hai Qingge was saying goodbye to her parent. She would not be seeing them for about 6 months from now on.
"Mom, we already talk about this, do we? You can not cry." Hai Qingge calmed her mother who looked so sad. "I know... But..." Mrs Hai sobbed.
"Our daughter will be safe here." President Hai said.
"I also know about that... But it still hurt." Mrs Hai said.
"Mom, you remember that I was studying abroad for 4 years, right? Just think the same. I am here to study." Hai Qingge said.
When Mrs Hai thought about that, she felt slightly better. "Yes... My daughter is studying abroad."
"Mom... I will be stronger and come back. I will definitely going to protect you and Dad." Hai Qingge stated.
"President Hai, Auntie Hai... We need to go now." Yu Qi said.
"Yes." President Hai replied.
Both of them rode the car and the car left Dian House. Hai Qingge waved herself. "Are you okay?" Dian Shu Xian asked.
"I am fine." Hai Qingge said. "I heard you will start your training tomorrow." Dian Shu Xian said.
"Yes." Hai Qingge nodded. "Hmm..."
"What is it?" Dian Shu Xian noticed that Hai Qingge wanted to ask something from him.
"I want to get familiar with this place. Can I ask you to show me around?" Hai Qingge made a request.
"Oh... That... Sure..." Dian Shu Xian thought she wanted to give up and leave but turned out, she just wanted to know this place. "Sure. I will take you and show you around."
"Thank you." Hai Qingge said.
Dian Shu Xian took Hai Qingge around the Dian House. He also explained that there were forbidden places that Hai Qingge should never go. She would be punished if she dared to go there on purpose. "Why are we not allowed to go there?" Hai Qingge asked.
"Well, there are some teleportation arrays. If you step into the arrays, you will teleport to a random place. That place might be dangerous, especially for someone like you. There were several people who had been reported going to the forbidden place and went missing, never being found again." Dian Shu Xian explained.
"The last statement indeed sounds scary. But the teleportation array? Does it really teleport someone from one place to another place? For real?" Hai Qingge was interested in teleportation arrays.
"Yes." Dian Shu Xian nodded.
"I see... There are many mysteries in this world." Hai Qingge said. They continued touring the place until the sky turned dark.
