Chapter 311 The Meaning of Returning Home
"What are your plans for the future? The Lunar New Year is almost here, aren't you going home?"
Lu Hao changed the subject.
"I will go back. The last time I went home was during the Spring Festival. As you know, only my mother is left at my house, so I will definitely go back for the Spring Festival no matter what," Qin Fengqing said after a moment of silence.
"Why don't you bring your mother over? After all, with all the major battles coming up, you might not have much time to go back and spend with her again."
Thinking of Qin Fengqing's mother, Lu Hao said.
"Sigh, I've thought about that too, but she refuses to come. That small place is surrounded by her familiar neighbors and friends."
"If she comes to Magic Martial Arts Academy, I'll be going down into the underground caves all the time, and she'll be even more lonely."
Qin Fengqing remained silent.
"Sigh, go back and spend more time with her when you have time." Lu Hao didn't say much. After all, if Qin Fengqing really brought his mother over to this unfamiliar place, it would be even more of a torment.
Neither of them said anything more and fell silent.
Qin Fengqing was thinking about her mother.
Lu Hao then remembered something: in the original story, a sixth-rank cult member attacked Fang Ping on New Year's Eve.
Fang Ping and Wang Jinyang joined forces to counterattack and kill him. Fang Ping had also extorted a considerable amount of money from the pill and weapon company. It was unknown whether the cult would continue its attacks; if they did, it would be a huge surprise. Now, Wang Jinyang was already a sixth-rank cultivator, and with the War God Bow, he could hold off even a seventh-rank cultivator for a while. Dealing with a sixth-rank cult member was a piece of cake. Lu Hao didn't take this matter to heart, instead searching for information about the Battleground of Kings in the original novel.
After breaking through to the eighth rank after the New Year, he went directly to the Battleground of Kings, where he completed the ninth stage of both his Golden Body and Spiritual Awareness.
After breaking through to the ninth rank, I estimate I will have the combat power of a top-tier expert. At that time, I will have temporarily entered the game. After that, I just need to continue to become stronger.
After chatting with Qin Fengqing about other things, Lu Hao visited a few more grandmasters. Before leaving, he reminded Fang Ping to be careful.
After all, he's currently making headlines. He's the secretary of the Magic and Martial Arts School Committee and the Magic and Martial Arts School reforms were all driven by Fang Ping. The probability of the cult assassinating him is not small.
After saying that, Lu Hao drove away from Magic Martial Arts University and headed home. He arrived home shortly after.
Using the key to open the familiar door, Lu Hao walked in. The last time he came back here was during the summer vacation in July. Back then, he was still a fifth-grade student, but now he is at the peak of the seventh grade and is about to break through to the eighth grade.
The house was exactly the same as when I last came back, with no major changes. Every corner was cleaned by my mother, and it felt very cozy.
Lu Hao lay down on the recliner, leisurely watching the TV program, and slowly fell asleep. It can only be said that home is a magical place. Even though Lu Hao is a grandmaster, he still felt a sense of peace and drowsiness when facing everything familiar at home.
Lu Hao would never be this relaxed anywhere else; he only feels this way at home.
Lu Hao could now understand why those villains would be forcibly controlled when they recalled their homes. Home was truly a haven for the soul. Just like last time, Lu Hao fell asleep comfortably on the recliner.
In the evening, Bai Qiuyao returned and saw Lu Hao sleeping on the recliner. She was overjoyed. After all, she knew that her son was now a Grandmaster and very busy. He might not even have time to come back during the New Year. She had prepared for Lu Hao not to come back. She didn't expect Lu Hao to come back, and so early at that.
Lu Hao was also awakened by the noise of the door opening. After all, he was now a Grandmaster, and his spiritual power would naturally emanate.
"Hao'er, you can continue sleeping. Mom will go make you some food first," Bai Qiuyao said quickly when she saw Lu Hao wake up.
"No need, I wasn't that tired to begin with. Mom, you go cook, I'm hungry," Lu Hao said, getting up.
"Okay, wait a moment, Mom will cook for you right away," Bai Qiuyao said with a smile.
Lu Hao sensed that his mother's cultivation level was already at the peak of the fifth rank. It seemed that his mother had indeed listened to what he had said before. The next step was to break through to the sixth rank. As long as his mother reached the sixth rank, that would be enough. He could then find some protective measures. If her cultivation level were to be higher, he might have to go down into the underground cave again.
He and his father were enough for the underground cave; his mother could just take care of the logistics.
Soon, his mother had prepared a meal: four dishes and a soup, all of which were Lu Hao's favorites. At the table, Lu Hao told his mother about his recent situation and explained that he was about to reach the eighth rank. His mother was both happy and worried. She was happy that Lu Hao could reach the eighth rank, as there were only about 500 people in the entire world at that level, and Lu Hao was so young. She was worried about the enemies Lu Hao would face next.
When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up; but now Lu Hao is gradually becoming the tall one—
Fortunately, with Lu Hao's encouragement, Bai Qiuyao gradually recovered from her worries.
Lu Hao was very relaxed when he got home. He didn't cultivate every day, but occasionally read books, such as various books and biographies in the underground cave.
During this time, Lu Hao also went to the underground dueling arena, after all, he had caused Uncle Wang a lot of trouble back when he was in the lower third rank.
I left some energy stones and life essence with Uncle Wang, which will help him recover from his injuries. As for whether Uncle Wang will return to the army afterward...
I don't know.
However, as Lu Hao spent more and more time at home, his treatment gradually declined. If the first day was four dishes and a soup, the second day was hot pot, the third day was just regular meals, and by the fifth day, his mother was already starting to complain that he was coming home too early and doing nothing at home.
Left with no other option, Lu Hao began a thorough cleaning of his home. However, the convenience of a martial artist's cleaning was undeniable; he could simply fly to the roof to begin.
Who would have thought that the person diligently wiping the glass was a master?
On the other side, after talking with Lu Hao, Qin Fengqing also got into the car to go home. He hadn't been home for a year.
When Qin Fengqing arrived at her doorstep, she felt a mix of trepidation and a sense of nostalgia.
He didn't know how to face his mother. His father had died young in the underground caves, and he had joined the Magic Martial Arts Academy without hesitation. What a blow this must have been to his mother! And then, he hadn't sent any news for a year.
He originally didn't plan to come back this year, after all, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't die in the underground cave. It's better to have a short pain than a long one. But after talking with Lu Hao, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.
He took out the key he hadn't touched in over a year from his backpack and slowly inserted it into the keyhole, his fingers trembling.
It took several minutes to successfully open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother holding a kitchen knife, staring warily at the door.
Seeing that it was him who had returned,
"Mido"
The knife fell to the ground, and the person there cried and trembled.
"Mom, I'm home."
All of Qin Fengqing's emotions vanished, leaving only guilt. She quickly took a few steps forward and hugged her elderly mother tightly!
Qin Fengqing realized at that moment that she had made a mistake. She shouldn't have been thinking about how to end her mother's suffering quickly; she should have been thinking about how to survive in the underground cave and how to spend more time with her mother.
