C6 The Sudden Separation and the Side Quest

At night, Meng Yang had completed his goal of the day. Just as he was about to rest, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked into Meng Yang's room.

Name: Meng Liang

Level: ???

Relationship Level: 5

"Father, as expected, you are the same as mother. You don't like to knock on other people's rooms?"

Meng Liang did not care about Meng Yang's teasing. As soon as he entered the room, he sized up Meng Yang and nodded. "Early Period of the Body Refining Stage. In a month's time, he actually advanced from the Early Period of the Body Refining Stage to the Early Period of the Meditation Stage. This is really unbelievable."

Meng Yang took a stool for Meng Liang and motioned for him to sit down.

"Father, why did you come here this time? You should be very busy as the Patriarch."

Meng Liang poured himself a cup of water. "Yang'er, it's been 19 years. I have always ignored you. You won't blame me, right?"

Meng Yang was startled. "Blame you?" Meng Yang shook his head lightly and sat down on the bed, falling into his memories.

"From what I remember, my father always treated me indifferently, but he was especially strict with big brother and little sister. Every time they did something wrong, you would scold them, but I never attracted his attention. It was as if everything I did had nothing to do with my father."

Meng Liang nodded. "I know you don't understand what I'm doing, but…"

Before Meng Liang could finish, he was interrupted by Meng Yang, "No, Father, since I was young, no matter what I did, you would always say 'let him go' and send my mother away. But when did I ever cause any trouble for you? No matter how busy you are, as long as you hear that I caused any trouble, you would always squeeze out time to deal with my matters. But you never stopped me. I often played pranks on the servants, and I often caused trouble in the city. It was all because of Father's personal effort. With such a father, what right do I have to resent him?"

Meng Liang shook his head and chuckled, "Yang'er has grown up. The reason why I didn't stop you was because I didn't want to destroy the nature of a child. No matter if I could get his understanding, I thought I should do it."

"Father, thank you. I have been living happily for all these years."

"It's good that you think that way. You just have to remember that a man should strive for all things, stand in the heavens and earth, and do whatever he can do to honor his own heart. After tomorrow, I will leave with your mother and your big brother. Xirou will be left to you to take care of. I will leave the family matters to you, Second Uncle. I heard that you have been learning at Uncle Qi's place recently. You have to be more polite to Uncle Qi. Alright, it's getting late. It's time for me to leave."

With that, Meng Liang's figure slowly disappeared, as if he had never appeared. If it wasn't for the stool and the cup of tea on the table that had not yet cooled down, Meng Yang would have suspected what had just happened.

The next day, Meng Yang was still in a daze when he was woken up by a flustered voice from Mun Xirou.

"Brother, brother, bad news. Father, mother, and big brother have all left!"

Mun Xirou ran into Meng Yang's room with a piece of paper in her hand. Meng Yang shook his head and tried his best to make himself look more awake.

"What's wrong with you? Did anyone bully you?"

"Hey, look at this. Yesterday night, mother suddenly came to my room and talked to me in a very serious manner. Then this morning, I saw this beside my pillow."

Meng Yang took the paper. The paper was very simple. "Let's go get our things back. We'll meet when the time is right. Don't miss it."

Meng Yang patted Mun Xirou's head and said, "Don't worry. If they leave, won't I still be here? Father already told me about this yesterday. Didn't the note say very clearly that we will meet when the time is ripe? You don't have to be so sad."

"But brother, you don't know. Yesterday, I felt like I saw a fake mother. She was completely different from usual. She was not a person. And they were going to get their things back. What exactly is this? Is it dangerous? "

"Alright, it's useless for you to worry about it here. You might as well work hard on your cultivation. When you have the strength, you can investigate whatever you want to know. Without strength, you can't do anything. It's getting late. I should go to the kitchen. You should calm down first."

Meng Yang walked to the kitchen with familiar ease. "Uncle Qi, I'm here."

What made Meng Yang feel strange was that Uncle Qi was actually standing at the door waiting for him. This made Meng Yang very surprised. In the past, Uncle Qi would always ignore Meng Yang when he came to the kitchen, but today, he actually stood at the door and waited for Meng Yang. This was really a rare situation.

"Your father should have left already, right?"

"Hey? Uncle Qi, why are you …"

"There's no need to kill the chicken and duck today. Come in and have a drink with me."

Meng Qi brought Meng Yang to the lounge in the kitchen and took out a pot of wine for himself and Meng Yang to drink.

"Taste this. I brewed this wine myself. If your father came to me personally, I would give him at most a cup. But now, you can have it. If your father finds out, I think he will be willing to wait another day before leaving."

Meng Yang picked up the wine cup and took a sip. To be honest, Meng Yang really didn't know how to drink. He didn't even know how to drink, but as soon as the wine entered his mouth, a strong fragrance spread out in his mouth.

"Beep. Received 10 experience points."

"Beep. Received 10 experience points. "

"Beep. Received 10 experience points.

…

Meng Yang looked at the rapid increase in experience points and the system notification that kept on sounding out.

"Haha, how is it? My wine is not bad, right?"

Meng Yang swallowed his saliva after drinking a cup of wine. "Can I have another cup of this wine?"

"Hahaha, as expected, your father is the same as you. Come, have another cup." As he spoke, Meng Qi filled Meng Yang's cup with wine.

Meng Yang picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Following the system's notification, Meng Yang successfully leveled up to level 12, and he still had some experience left.

Meng Qi naturally saw Meng Yang's performance. "I didn't expect you to absorb the Spiritual Qi so quickly. Your cultivation has also increased. It seems that your father's choice was right. I hate that I'm old. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to accompany your father to the edge."

"Uncle Qi, do you know what my father went to do?"

Meng Qi drank his wine, "Since your father didn't tell you, I definitely won't tell you. Your father's trip is either a blessing or a curse. Now, it is destined to be the era of your younger generation. We, the people of this world, shouldn't be able to live anymore, but we have a heaven-defying person who can change fate."

"Beep. Side mission: Meng Qi's injury. Mission requirement: Host must reach level 50 to unlock the Super Realm Exchange Function. Then, use 800,000 exchange points to exchange for the Spirit Recovery Pill to treat Meng Qi. Mission reward: unknown. Mission failure has no reward."

"Uncle Qi, I can cure your injury."

Meng Qi's entire body trembled, and even his voice trembled. "What, what did you say?"

"I said I can cure Uncle Qi's injuries."

"How is that possible? My injuries are…"

"Uncle Qi, when I break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, I have a 100% chance of curing your injuries."

"You, what do you know? Or did your father say something to you?"

Meng Yang shook his head, "No, you just need to believe me."
