Chapter 385: A Way Out
"Perhaps. Regardless of how far in the future this might be, our main priority now is to improve our own abilities, and also to enhance the combat capabilities of the entire nation." Su Siyi took a deep breath, her eyes revealing a resolute determination. She knew that with only five years remaining, she must maximize the combat capabilities of as many people as possible within this limited timeframe. Those who truly couldn't withstand the spiritual energy would be sent to the interstellar space for resettlement. With this back-up plan, they could more confidently undertake many tasks, freeing the nation to act with less timidity.
"Let's go back first. Three days have already passed and everyone is very worried." Nangong Jingming checked the time, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that three days would pass in the blink of an eye in that mysterious space.
Just as he finished speaking, Su Siyi's brain suddenly received a video call from Su Wenying. Su Wenying's anxious profile picture flashed on the screen, as if expressing his worries over the past three days.
"Brother!" Su Siyi quickly picked up the smart brain, a trace of guilt on her face.
"Sister, what's going on? Why did you disappear for three days?" Su Wenying's face was filled with anxiety, and his eyes revealed deep worry. His voice trembled slightly, as if he had been on edge for the past three days.
"Um, big brother, we just encountered a little opportunity and got a chance to gain enlightenment, so we were delayed for three days." Su Siyi bit her lip and said embarrassedly. She secretly regretted that if she had known there was such a good opportunity, she should have brought her brothers along.
"I'm glad you're okay. When will you be back?" Su Wenying felt relieved when she heard that her sister was safe and sound, and her tone softened a lot.
"Let's get ready to go back now." Su Siyi said
"Oh, how long will it take to get home?" Su Wenying asked again.
"We'll be home in about half an hour." Su Siyi said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home. Remember to let the other family members know you're safe! Everyone is so worried." Su Wenying said.
"Okay, I understand." Su Siyi hung up the video and quickly manipulated her smart phone, sending a message to the rest of the family that they were safe. Then, she took out the starship, and the hatch slowly opened. Everyone quickly boarded the starship. As the starship's engines started, they quickly returned to the villa.
"Siyi, I'll go and report some situations first." Nangong Jingming looked at Su Siyi, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue, but more of his seriousness and responsibility towards work.
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. You don't have to worry about me." Su Siyi said with a smile, her eyes full of understanding and support.
"Sister, you must take me with you next time you go on a mission. We were so scared when you suddenly lost contact this time." Su Wenying quickly walked over to Su Siyi and held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with fear. He had searched for Su Siyi and the others for a long time, but still couldn't find any trace of them. The feeling of anxiety and helplessness still haunted him to this day.
No one expected that they were inside a barrier and couldn't contact people outside at all. It was normal for their families to be worried.
"Well, I didn't know I would be gone for so long this time. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." Su Siyi bit her lip slightly, her eyes full of apology. She could naturally feel her brother's anxiety. This concern made her feel warm and a little guilty.
"I know, it's okay. I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about you." Su Wenying sighed softly, a hint of helplessness and heartache in her eyes. Remembering the time he lost her, the remorse and fear were still deeply etched in his heart, so much so that now, whenever he couldn't contact her, endless fear would surge in his heart.
"Brother, I hope you can let it go. I don't want this to become a demon in your cultivation." Su Siyi frowned slightly, looking at him with concern. She knew all too well the impact of demons on a cultivator. Once possessed by demons, it would be extremely difficult to make progress in cultivation.
"I'll slowly let it go," Su Wenying said after a moment of contemplation. Perhaps, as her sister had said, they were simply too worried about her safety, and this excessive concern might actually become an obstacle to her cultivation.
"Brother, I've grown up, and with my abilities, it's hard to find anyone in this world who can rival me. You really don't have to worry too much about me." Su Siyi straightened his chest, his eyes gleaming with confidence, and spoke in a firm tone.
"Okay, I get it. I'll try to gain a new understanding of your abilities. But sister, those people might start causing trouble." Su Wenying knew he needed to adjust his mindset, but habits formed over the years couldn't be changed overnight. It would take some time to change his mindset immediately. At the same time, he also remembered some potential crises and couldn't help but remind his sister.
"Brother, don't worry. Don't worry if they come out. We still have interstellar weapons, and our own cultivation is already quite high." Su Siyi raised her chin and said confidently. She was confident that after this period of experience and growth, they had enough strength to deal with any challenges.
"Yes, we also have high-tech weapons. Even cultivators would be overwhelmed by them." Su Wenying recalled the high-tech weapons brought back from the stars. They were so powerful that they were truly terrifying. He realized that he should have more confidence in his sister's abilities and the power they possessed.
"Brother, this is for you." Su Siyi said, carefully taking out a flying sword from his storage space and handing it to Su Wenying.
"What is this?" Su Wenying took the flying sword in confusion and examined it carefully. The sword had a slender blade, gleaming with a cool light. Mysterious runes were engraved on the blade, as if it contained endless power.
"This is a flying sword, a magic weapon! You can recognize it as your master, and then you can practice flying with the sword." Su Siyi explained with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation, imagining her brother's heroic figure soaring in the sky with the flying sword.
"Thank you, sister. I like it very much. Do you have one yourself?" Su Wenying looked at the flying sword with joy, while not forgetting to care about her sister.
"Of course I have one myself, so don't worry about me. I'll give one to my second brother when we meet him. My parents haven't reached the second level yet, so they're not suitable for using flying swords. They can wait for a while." Su Siyi said patiently. She had a clear plan in her mind for her family's cultivation progress and the use of magic weapons.
"Brother, why don't you try it now? Do you have the skills to fly a sword?" Su Siyi couldn't wait to see her brother try flying a sword, and asked excitedly.
