Chapter 2987: Chapter 1205: Xiang Ling and Xiang Xue’s Decision (3)

"Don’t worry about us, we’ll manage just fine. Although it might be slow, we’ll move forward in step with you. You two just go ahead with peace of mind!"

"Thank you, Father, thank you, Uncle Qi! Uncle Qi, please take care of Father. We’ll visit you whenever we get a chance!" Dean Pang and Elder Qi said to the two.

"Dad, Uncle Qi, why are you talking like this? It’s as if we won’t see each other for a long time!" Xiang Ling said to Dean Pang and Elder Qi.

"Hahaha... It’s nothing. You two can head back once you’re done eating. Uncle Qi and I have some matters to attend to later. After all, you’re not leaving immediately. Let’s not make it feel like a life-and-death farewell!" Dean Pang remarked to his two daughters.

"Got it, we’re heading back then!" Xiang Ling and Xiang Xue said upon hearing this.

"Go on, work hard on your cultivation, and don’t fall behind!" Dean Pang advised.

"Understood, Father, Uncle Qi, we’re going back!" the sisters nodded and said.

After Xiang Ling and Xiang Xue left, Dean Pang looked at Elder Qi with a bit of reluctance and said, "Sigh... daughters grow up and you just can’t keep them around!"

"Yes, kids grow up, and they’ll finally fly to their own sky!" Elder Qi also sighed.

"Elder Qi, you’ve known Shangguan Han and his wife for a long time, right? Or should I say, you joined the academy to wait for them?" Dean Pang suddenly asked Elder Qi.

"I wouldn’t say I was waiting for them, nor that I knew them. But didn’t I mention to you before that I went to the Cloud Underworld and had an interesting encounter with a little girl?" Elder Qi asked Dean Pang.

"I remember, but didn’t you go down there to repay a favor? Is there a problem?" Dean Pang asked after thinking it over.

"Yes, I went to the Cloud Underworld to repay a favor and waited for someone. But the little girl I encountered turned out to be Lili! I only realized this after she arrived here. I thought I’d have to wait a few hundred years for her to ascend, but the girl came so quickly!" Elder Qi said with a smile.

"What? It’s only been a few years since you returned! How could she have ascended from the Cloud Underworld so quickly? That seems impossible!" Dean Pang said, shocked.

"For her, nothing is impossible!" Elder Qi said with a sigh.

"So, Shangguan Li is the daughter of your benefactor?" Dean Pang asked with some disbelief.

"Yes, some things are just so mystical. I thought that by repaying the favor, I’d be able to take good care of her when she got to the academy. But I never imagined there would be so little I could do. Aside from providing a small courtyard, there’s really not much else I can offer!" Elder Qi said helplessly.

"I never expected it to be this way, but it’s fine. Things are good now; their family is safe, and we should be happy!" Dean Pang said.

"Yes, now that Xiang Ling and her sister are following Shangguan Li, we can’t just stay here either. We need to find a way to leave too!" Elder Qi thought aloud.

"I was thinking the same. Let’s go have a chat with Dean Lin!" Dean Pang said after some thought.

"Alright, let’s go. We’ll go see Dean Lin and Elder Dan!" Elder Qi agreed.
