Perhaps, I Really Am an Immortal?

Not long after Ning Wangshu left, Xu Yiming suddenly shuddered and snapped back to his senses.

He looked around, frowning slightly. "Hmm? What's going on? I feel... a bit strange. Was I spacing out just now?"

Xu Yiming grew a little suspicious.

But he couldn't recall what had happened at all, so he just shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The other side.

Ning Wangshu walked out of the "Yundian Club," where the streetlights were already glowing against the evening sky.

"I'd better go back and find Ruoxuan first."

Letting out a light breath, Ning Wangshu rose into the air, transforming into a streak of flowing light...

Earlier, when he parted ways with his younger sister, he hadn't left directly. Instead, he had concealed his form, followed her all the way to her residence, and only then departed for Dingsheng Building.

A short while later, Ning Wangshu returned to the cluster of civilian houses near his sister's place.

Finding a hidden corner, he dispelled the Concealment Incantation on himself before walking toward his sister's residence...

Knock knock!

Arriving at the door of the rented room where his sister lived, Ning Wangshu knocked.

"Who is it?"

Soon, Ning Ruoxuan's voice came from inside, but she didn't open the door, sounding very cautious.

Ning Wangshu thought for a moment and understood—she was probably worried it was those people coming for her again, so she didn't dare open the door without being sure who was outside.

So Ning Wangshu spoke up: "Ruoxuan, it's me!"

Hearing that it was Ning Wangshu's voice, Ning Ruoxuan behind the door froze, seeming to hesitate for a moment, but she still opened the door.

However, she faced Ning Wangshu with a cold expression. "What are you coming to me for again? Weren't you pretty carefree when you left before?"

Knowing his sister harbored resentment, Ning Wangshu didn't take her words to heart and just smiled. "You're my sister, so of course I had to come find you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge me as your older brother right now. Since I'm back, and Mom is gone, I have to take on the responsibility of looking after you!"

"Heh, that sounds nice. Look after me? I don't need you to look after me—I can take care of myself just fine!"

Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

After a pause, she couldn't help adding, "You... where did you go before? You didn't actually go find that Xu Yiming, did you?"

"Ning Wangshu, for the sake of our parents, I'll warn you one last time. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, stop being crazy!"

"This is a society ruled by law. You don't seriously think you can go around taking blood vengeance like in ancient times, do you?"

Hearing his sister's words, Ning Wangshu broke into a smile. "Ruoxuan, you still care about me, don't you?"

"Hmph, don't flatter yourself. I don't care about you at all. Who do you think you are? I have nothing to do with you. I'm only saying this for our parents' sake—I don't want them to see you losing your mind from up in heaven and never find peace!"

Ning Ruoxuan scoffed.

But Ning Wangshu smiled again. He could clearly see that his sister still cared about him deep down, but she held a lot of resentment toward him, so she only said these things out loud.

So, going along with her words, he said, "Hmm, I know."

"Um... Ruoxuan, can I come in and sit for a bit? I just got back, our home is gone, and I have nowhere to go right now..."

Ning Wangshu played the "pitiful card."

Hearing this, Ning Ruoxuan was a bit annoyed, but seeing Ning Wangshu's pitiful look, she couldn't harden her heart. She could only stamp her foot in frustration and say angrily, "Fine, come in!"

"But let me tell you, this is just a single room. There's no place for you to sleep. Either you make a bed on the floor, or you sit here all night. I'm not going to take care of you!"

With that, Ning Ruoxuan finally moved aside and let Ning Wangshu into the room.

Ning Wangshu chuckled, slipped in quickly, and said, "It's fine. I just need a place to stay. I'll just sit here all night!"

"Hmph..."

Ning Ruoxuan kept a straight face and gave a light snort, then closed the door and walked back to the small table on her own to continue eating.

At that moment, Ning Wangshu also noticed a boxed lunch set on the small table.

Seeing that the boxed lunch only had a bit of greens and shredded potatoes, Ning Wangshu's expression turned grim, and even more so, filled with self-blame. "Ruoxuan, you... you eat like this every day?"

Ning Ruoxuan looked up at him and said irritably, "What, is there a problem?"

Sigh...

Ning Wangshu let out a long breath. He wanted to step forward but was afraid of upsetting his sister, so he could only say with concern, "Don't worry. Now that I'm back, I won't let you suffer anymore."

"Heh, won't let me suffer? Do you have any money?"

Ning Ruoxuan mocked.

"No money! But I can earn it!"

Ning Wangshu said firmly.

"You go earn money? You think making money is easy? And what, you're not planning to keep studying?"

"Mom and Dad's biggest wish was for you to get into a good university, so you could have a good life in the future, and not have to work as hard as they did."

"If you don't keep studying, can you even face Mom and Dad?"

Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

Ning Wangshu was taken aback. Qin Feng had mentioned before that he should return to school as soon as possible, with half a month left until the College Entrance Examination, to let other teachers help him cram and prepare.

But at the time, he clearly hadn't taken it seriously.

He was already a "transcended" Big Boss of the Immortal Dao. Even if his cultivation was suppressed now, he could still use power at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

What meaning did the College Entrance Examination have for him?

Yet now, hearing his sister's words, he hesitated.

That's right. Mom and Dad's greatest wish in life was for him and his sister to get into a good university and find good jobs in the future.

His father had died in an accident years ago.

Now his mother had also passed away...

It seemed that fulfilling their wish—getting into a good university—was the only thing he could still do for them.

Even if it held no meaning for him personally.

But just to bring comfort to his parents' spirits in heaven, he had to go to that university!

Thinking this, Ning Wangshu took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep studying. But I'll also make money. You don't need to worry about that—I have my own ways to earn money."

"Your own ways? What ways? If you're going to keep studying, do you even have time to work a part-time job?"

Ning Ruoxuan said coldly.

Ning Wangshu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Didn't I tell you before? These few months I was missing, it wasn't like I came back with nothing."

"In short, as long as I want to make money, I have plenty of methods."

"He, Ning Wangshu, it's only been a few months, but how come I find you've gotten so arrogant?"

"Just like at noon, you swore up and down that you said that Xu guy would die in three days, and he definitely would die in three days."

"How can you be so capable? Do you think you're some kind of immortal, able to decide life and death with a single word?"

Ning Ruoxuan mocked.

Ning Wangshu smiled and said, "Maybe... I really am an 'immortal'? As for that Xu guy, in three days, he will definitely die!"

"You're an immortal? Pfft... then I'm the Queen Mother of the West, the Mysterious Woman of the Nine Heavens! Can you stop spouting such baseless nonsense!"

Ning Ruoxuan was almost laughed into anger.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Ning Wangshu fell silent.

He hesitated about whether to "come clean" with her directly, but considering he had only just returned today, and his sister hadn't fully processed her emotions yet.

If he told her he really could be considered half an immortal... she might be too shocked to handle it.

So, after thinking it over, Ning Wangshu decided to wait a few more days, until his sister had fully calmed down, before telling her.

By then, he could also teach her cultivation.

Although the spiritual energy on Earth was very thin, Ning Wangshu's storage ring contained a massive amount of spirit stones, as well as various spirit herbs, spirit pills, and so on.

Supporting his sister's cultivation would be no problem at all.

So, Ning Wangshu didn't argue with his sister. He just smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway... you'll know in three days."

Ning Ruoxuan curled her lip, too lazy to say anything more, and went back to eating on her own.
