Chapter 1257
(Unedited)
…
The darkness immediately envelopes his surroundings as his figure suddenly vanished from the hospital room. What greeted Xin Ja are the views of places that he has been to.
"Are these the places that I can return to?" he muttered as he looks at the images floating around him.
He then saw a familiar place which is his hotel in Alesia city.
"Alright, let's go to that place…" he muttered as his figure suddenly disappear and touches the floating image that he chose.
Soon, Xin Ja could see a tear in the space, and as he exited he is now inside his room in Alesia city.
What baffled Xin Ja the most is that the portal seem to not disturb the Ki in the surroundings. When those demons arrive, he could clearly feel that tumultuous energy that shook the area around more than 100 meters in diameter.
The shock wave coming from the center of that tear in space was spread over more than 1 kilometer. And for that reason, many people knew about the portal opening which releases those demon imps.
But the portal he is creating does not seem to disturb the space.
On the other side, it was evening, when Xin Ja arrives in his room in Alesia city it was morning at around 10 am.
"This is awesome…" Xin Ja muttered to himself as he looks around inside the room.
"I need to tell those two that I am fine now…" he muttered as it has been a day since he was gone.
Xin Ja looks at the portal to cool down from his end and was thoroughly dumbfounded at what he is seeing. If the preparation of the portal to open from the other side took him almost a day, the one he is seeing right now is something that he did not expect.
"Hmmm… Why is there a big difference between the other side and here?" he thought.
After thinking for a while, Xin Ja discovered that the portal seems to be consuming Chaotic Ki.
"Ah… So if I use chaotic Ki then I would be able to charge it faster…" he thought as he takes out a Ki stone.
Then he reversed the function of the Ki stones using the pendant that his master has given him years ago.
After chaotic Ki was produced Xin Ja saw the progress getting faster. Upon seeing this, he knew that the presence of the chaotic Ki is the key to hastening the time of portal opening.
"I guess, this would work here…" Xin Ja thought and then stopped his experiment.
He quickly changes his clothes and then sent a few messages out, and told the people, especially the two girls that he was fine.
It did not take long before… he heard some knocking sound in his hotel room.
When he opened it he saw two worried faces in front of him.
Without hesitation, Qiang Yaoyao quickly hugged him while crying on his chest. Qian Yan slowly closes the door and followed inside the room.
"I was really worried… Huhuhu…" Qiang Yaoyao bawled.
"What happened to you?" she asked while still crying.
Xin Ja then explained to the two what had happened. But he did not tell them about the other world as he knew that the two would not believe him.
He just told them that he was hunted and that Tee Sumo used a forbidden weapon in the mountainside.
When he said this, part of the two women looks at each other and showed a faint smile.
"You don't have to worry about the Tee Sumo… That guy would not be able to do anything to us anymore…" Qiang Yaoyao smirked.
"Why is that?" Xin Ja asked.
But the two just smirked but did not say anything.
Xin Ja showed confusion in his eyes but did not bother to ask because he knew that the two ladies would not say anything, judging from the way they wanted things to be mysterious.
"Do you guys want to go out and have something to eat?" Xin Ja suggested.
The two nodded and the three walked out of the small apartment building.
They hailed a small carriage and then directly went to the market.
When he saw the carriage, he suddenly thought of the cars from the other world. They are a bit noisy but they look comfortable to ride.
But of course, he would not just jump into such a project now as he has already popularized the use of hoverbikes, flying ships, and Mechas… Any more of the high-tech stuff would surely turn the kingdom upside down.
Even the weapons have become a bit deadlier, luckily for him, he did not give the blueprint for the bullet rifles. Those are the true deadly weapons as even a Ki Master who is not careful would surely die from a shot from a really far distance away.
He knew this because of his own experience these past few years.
The three entered a restaurant and began to order some dishes.
"Little Ja… Your adventure is something that a mere 1st level Ki fighter should not have experienced. Now I am curious about how powerful you really are…" suddenly Qian Ya said while taking a sip of the tea in her cup.
When the two heard her words they showed an awkward smile on their faces. Qiang Yaoyao knew that Xin Ja could not be measured by common sense, starting from the time he made his name known in the army.
She also knew that Xin Ja is the person who has forwarded the advancement of the kingdom itself. However, he did not take credit for such accomplishments and just stand by and watched.
She knew that this friend of her has many secrets and she did not want to pry any of them.
"Sigh… Sister Yan, you do not have to think anything about him… You will just have a headache…" Qiang Yaoyao advised.
"Well, I'm just curious… Plus, I asked one of my staff about your name… and they said that there is a Xin Ja from Ogden town… and that person's information is highly classified…" she added while showing a crafty smile on her face.
Qiang Yaoyao just pursed her lips and took a sip of the tea in her cup.
"Alright, let's just eat… and then go around the city and have some fun…" Xin Ja said to break the awkwardness.
After eating lunch, the three began strolling around the city. Xin Ja indulge the two women in what they wanted and the three of them had some fun.
Since Qiang Yaoyao and Qian Ya are wearing disguises, no one could recognize them.
It was already nighttime when the three were done playing around the city.
"This city is fun… there are many runes that did a lot of different things… I guess this is the reason why it is called the city of Lore and Magic." Qian Yan said while the three arrive in front of the Qiang manor residence.
"Well, god bye you two! Take care!" Qiang Yaoyao waved her hand goodbye as she watches the carriage drive away into the distance.
She then turns around and was about to enter the gate when the guard standing on the side stopped her.
"Excuse me miss?" the guard stood blocking her path.
"What are you doing?" Qiang Yaoyao frowned upon seeing the guard being rude.
"Who are you? This is the Qiang residence, no one can just waltz inside…" the guard grunted.
"You… Do you not recognize me?" she suddenly felt annoyed as she pointed at the guard.
"No, please state your business with the Qiang family?" the guard replied sternly.
Suddenly Qiang Yaoyao showed a hint of bafflement in her eyes, but then suddenly realized something.
She is wearing the mask that Xin Ja has given her. And she forgot to remove it, so this might be the reason why the guards could not recognize her.
She quickly removed the talisman sticking on her shoulder and the mask was quickly deactivated. She carefully kept the talisman inside her Mule and quickly strode inside.
The guards have an incredulous look on their faces when they saw this.
That night, Xin Ja secretly sneaked inside the Tee clan manor and discovered that Tee Sumo is now in trouble. Not only him but also some of the Tee clan members who were involved in that incident where Xin Ja was involved.
For some reason, and the way the discussion is happening inside the manor, he knew that someone is pulling the strings from the shadows.
But of course, this is not his concern anymore, so he just went back to his hotel room and rested.
…
The next day…
Xin Ja needs to visit the Ban clan manor and needs to meet with Master Ban. On his way out, he saw Qian Yan walking out of her room door.
She showed a deep frown on her face.
"You're going out?" Xin Ja asked.
"Yes… You too?" she asked.
"Yeah, I have to visit the Ban manor…"
"Oh, that's perfect! We can go together…" she excitedly said as she grabbed Xin Ja's arm.
