Chapter 53 Neither Gods nor Ghosts!

Gao Ge calls his parents and says he has something to do in the evening and needs to come home late, then he sits in the yard and watches the stars. He goes into a reverie.

There is a vague suspicion in his mind. In fact, when chatting with Meng Fang, Gao Ge has already shown a suspicious attitude.

Ning Yun’s arrival as well as the emphasis Meng Fang mentioned in the telephone before is re-checking his previous guesses.

If the fact is truly what he guessed…

That would be really horrible.

Most importantly, he doesn’t know how to deal with the person behind the scene.

Looking at the patch of star field same as the star map he found last night, Gao Ge wonders if the reason he could slowly light up the star map today is also related to the discovery he made the previous night. If so, does he need to become aware of the star field associated with the next star map if he wants to light it up?

It’s just the simple thought that gives him a headache.

Compared with other ancient martial cultivators, his own way of cultivating seems to be much more troublesome.

Thankfully, the power of stars Gao Ge can mobilize inside him is stronger than the strength inside other cultivators.

Perhaps the Star Tree inside is exactly what he has chosen for himself, a more burdensome cultivating road.

Gao Ge cannot tell whether it’s good or not. He can just make it up as he proceeds.

“With my current strength, after I completely light up the first star map, I probably can have the general strength of an expert who is able to train his Qi. But I don’t know which stage of a Qi-training expert I may compete with.” Gao Ge says to himself.

According to the present system of cultivating, once a person officially sets foot on the road of cultivating, he begins to condense his Qi and train his Qi, then he manages to protect himself with his strength and eventually, be able to let go of his strength. Each of these four grades is divided into nine stages, they are: the first stage of Qi-condensing, the second stage of Qi-condensing, and so on.

The gap before each stage is very wide. At the very least, a man of the first stage of Qi-condensing can only flee as fast as possible when fighting against a man of the ninth stage of Qi-condensing.

Now Gao Ge can mobilize the strength inside his body, but his method is a bit rough, and when he manages to condense his Qi and becomes more skilled, he will be able to unleash a much stronger punch than he can do now.

At this point, Meng Jing suddenly runs to Gao Ge.

“Look at this, Gao Ge!”

Holding her phone, she stops in front of him and gives it to him.

Taking her phone, Gao Ge finds it a piece of news.

The headline says, “Things You Don’t Know About Mount Duanlong.”

As for the content, it includes some oral accounts of tourists from Mount Duanlong. Clearly, the government has no intention of continuing to conceal this issue since it now needs all civilians to face the coming great era in their best conditions. In fact, this is quite normal, and Gao Ge remembers the disclosure of this issue was about the same point in time in his previous life.

“There’s been some strange news in the last few days. Somebody caught a guy walking on the ledge, and there was a person who killed a cow with a fist, and so on, one after another.” Meng Jing sits on the stone stool and says. The stone table which was overturned by Meng Fang is now straightened up.

“I told you about these, didn’t I?” Says Gao Ge smilingly.

Meng Jing holds her chin while looking at the sky, and she says, “So in the future, will many people become very powerful?”

“Totally.”

“So, may I start to cultivate now?”

“Yeah.”

“Then, for me, what’s the point of being a top student for so many years if everyone begins to cultivate?” Asks Meng Jing angrily.

Gao Ge cannot help laughing.

He never knows Meng Jing would care about such a thing.

However, he also comforts her gently. “Well, you will find literary lessons still very important after entering the Cultivation Academy. Actually, you will just have some more new classes.”

Meng Jing feels a bit better after hearing Gao Ge’s words. Otherwise, she may always feel unjustified.

Then Meng Jing seems to think of something else. She asks, “Will the future world become very dangerous too?”

The expression on Gao Ge’s face turns serious. He nods and says, “Yes. Very dangerous.”

“Will anyone die?”

“A lot of people will die. After all, this is the truth of cultivating. It takes a long way to go.”

Looking at Meng Jing’s pale face, Gao Ge subconsciously squeezes it and says, “But you don’t have to be scared.”

“Why is that?”

“I am with you. I shall protect you from being hurt by others.”

While Gao Ge and Meng Jing are talking softly among moonlight flowers, conveying their amorous feelings by words of tenderness, a jarring voice suddenly sounds.

“Old-school sweet words.”

Gao Ge turns and stares at Xia Lu unwillingly, but she looks indifferent.

Gao Ge can only choose to quit. He has no other choices since he still can’t beat her.

“Yay! My mom’s urging me to come home. I need to go now!” Meng Jing takes a look at her phone and says quickly.

“Would you mind waiting just a second? I want to go home with you.”

“No problem.”

Meng Fang takes Yue Xincheng back very soon.

Seeing Yue Xincheng looking ashen-faced, Gao Ge is still very moved.

Yue Xincheng is a bit reckless, but after all, he just did anything to fight for Gao Ge against the Ning Family.

Therefore, Gao Ge cannot refuse to accept Yue Xincheng’s kindness, let alone blame him.

“Thankfully, you’re okay.” Gao Ge pats Yue Xincheng on the shoulder and says.

Yue Xincheng says with red eyes, “I should have said that to you. Boss, I thought it over before, if something horrible had happened to you, I would have risked my life to kill all members of the Ning Family!”

Yue Xincheng, who has never killed anyone before, says this without the slightest fear.

Just like when he was standing in front of the Nings’ mansion and watching so many people fall, he still felt fearless.

“Don’t go back for the moment and have a good rest here. It’s not a big place, but it has many small rooms. Didn’t you buy several beds before? You and Xia Lu each pick a room.”

“No, that’s inconvenient, I would rather go back home.” Says Yue Xincheng while laughing.

“I shall stay here with you.” Says Meng Fang.

Yue Xincheng thinks for a while and nods.

After arranging for Yue Xincheng, Gao Ge and Meng Jing are about to leave. When Gao Ge comes to the door, he says to Meng Fang again, “Mr. Meng, please come with me to a place tomorrow.”

Meng Fang nods without asking.

He feels that Gao Ge has a maturity that does not belong to his age, and a simple contact with him will reveal this.

Gao Ge and Meng Jing have a hard time catching up with the last bus from the outskirts of the city to the urban areas. They sit in the last row of seats. Meng Jing leans on Gao Ge’s shoulder and closes her eyes. She seems to be a little tired.

“Gao Ge, no matter what happens to this world, let’s not separate, OK?”

Gao Ge turns to look at Meng Jing’s twitching lashes. He couldn’t help kissing her on her pink cheek.

“Oh, my face is covered with your saliva. It stinks.” Meng Jing opens her eyes and says shyly.

Gao Ge laughs loudly.

“Don’t worry. Nobody can take you from me this time…”

He adds another sentence inside his heart.

Neither gods nor ghosts!
