The Spirit World

Chapter 767 The Priceless Fifteen Gold
This major event was enough to shock the entire Bailing Mountain and even the entire empire. The only thing Ning Sanqi remembered was that he was wearing new clothes.

He saw many people cheering and jumping for joy. He knew they were talking happily by looking at their mouths moving. Ning Dongqing and Ning Hongqian also helped Ning Sanqi put on new clothes with some emotion.

Seven-year-old Ning Sanqi, wearing a petite blue and white disciple uniform, stood in front of the door of the Children's Pavilion, next to Wang Po. Wang Po's rough hands held him tightly to prevent him from running around.

Although he never runs around.

He was always immersed in a silent world. He couldn't understand what he heard, couldn't speak, and could only watch quietly. Everything in front of him, the changing colors, slowly immersed himself in. Everyone's expression showed expectation.

The disciples from all over Bailing Mountain lined the streets to welcome him. A man dressed in gorgeous black clothes, with a look of joy on his face, walked up the mountain step by step, step by step, step by step, accompanied by many important figures.

That man had a pair of gentle eyes, a pair of black pupils, and was wearing a black and white plum blossom robe. Under the gaze of everyone, he returned to his home. The entire Bailing Mountain belonged to a man named Ning. He was the young master of the Ning family and also the only heir of the Ning family.

He came with the jade pendant and the legend of the savior, and came to this home that belonged to him.

Everything in Bailing Mountain was immersed in the joy of his return.

But Ning Sanqi didn't know who he was. Apart from his back and the way everyone surrounded him, he only remembered the rare meat on the table, which was put into his bowl by Wang Po.

"Sanqi..." Wang Po was so happy that she forgot that Sanqi couldn't hear her. She smiled and wrinkled her face: "Eat more, eat more!"

Ning Sanqi crawled over the rice and placed the piece of meat next to the bowl. She could only watch as Wang Po picked up the meat with her chopsticks and put it back into her bowl.

"You are the only one left... Once you come down the mountain, I will have some free time..."

As Wang Po spoke, she put down her chopsticks and sighed sadly for some reason. She probably realized what was going on. Ning Sanqi couldn't hear or speak.

"Oh...it's all fate, it's all fate..." Wang Po picked up some vegetables with the tip of the chopsticks, put them in her bowl, and fell silent again, not moving.

"What should I do... What a good child..." Wang Po put her hand on Ning Sanqi's head and stroked it gently, as if she was stroking her own kitten.

I feel both distressed and sad.

"Ahh——" Ning Sanqi uttered "ahh" twice and pointed at the dishes on the table. Wang Po brought them over. Ning Sanqi seldom eats meat and has a special liking for vegetables.

“Eat more, eat more…” Every word Wang Po said received no response: “Eat more, eat more…grow up quickly…grow up well…”

Lanterns were hung on Bailing Mountain. Under the light of the lanterns, Ning Dongqing and Ning Hongqian came to Wang Po's residence, one holding a roast chicken and the other holding pastries.

Wang Po was overjoyed and went to greet them from afar.

"Why are you here!" Wang Po was much happier and wiped her hands, perhaps because she was afraid that these rough hands would be too scary.

"Auntie Wang! What a joyous occasion! Why can't you come?" Ning Dongqing had a small scar on his right eye. He picked up a roast chicken and put it on the table. He plucked the chicken leg and put it in Ning Sanqi's bowl, which made Ning Sanqi frown. Ning Dongqing didn't even look at Ning Sanqi, but said excitedly: "The young master of Bailing Mountain is back! He gave us monthly silver! We have only been disciples for two months, and we have already received ten gold coins!"

"Wow! Why are there so many!" Wang Po was obviously frightened, but she also smiled: "Ah? This young master is really rich and generous~" She looked at Ning Hongqian with a red headband and smiled: "Great... That's great~ It's great that you can become his disciples~"

"Auntie Wang, this is for you." Ning Hongqian placed the cake cloth on the table, opened it, took a piece and placed it in front of Ning Sanqi's table, touched Ning Sanqi's head, and smiled with ups and downs: "The disciples of Bailing Mountain are all happy as crazy~ These rewards are not just money! There are also hardware for next month, and the month after that! It really makes all the disciples smile from ear to ear."

"That's really a smile from ear to ear!" Wang Po was helped by Ning Dongqing to sit down at the table. She clapped Ning Dongqing's hands and smiled particularly brightly. Her sunken cheeks seemed to glow again: "Great~ Great~ Seeing you, I finally don't have to be so sad. I'm really happy~"

"Auntie Wang..." Ning Dongqing and Ning Hongqian were sitting beside Auntie Wang, and Ning Sanqi looked at them and ate his meal in silence. He couldn't hear anything and naturally didn't understand what they were saying.

"Sanqi, eat chicken legs~" Ning Dongqing put another roast chicken leg in Ning Sanqi's bowl. The bowl was not big to begin with, and the two chicken legs almost filled the entire bowl and rice, which made Sanqi pause twice.

"Sanqi." Ning Dongqing tapped Ning Sanqi's shoulder. Ning Sanqi then looked up and watched Ning Dongqing take the chicken leg and put it into his mouth, signaling to Sanqi that this thing was edible.

Ning Sanqi tilted her head and blinked in confusion. Ning Dongqing took the chicken leg in his hand again, smiled softly, took a light bite, and slowly put it in Ning Sanqi's bowl. Sanqi then understood what he meant, but pouted and shook her head.

"Sanqi doesn't eat meat. He eats cakes." Grandma Wang gently patted Ning Hongqian's hand on her arm and said with some satisfaction: "Sanqi is good... He has lived a hard life with me... He doesn't eat much meat..."

"Then eat this~" Ning Dongqing took the pastry from Ning Sanqi's hand and slowly put it in his mouth. Sanqi also took the pastry and slowly ate it.

This made Ning Dongqing fulfill his wish and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Auntie Wang... Here are fifteen gold coins. This is the only thing my two siblings can afford. Please take it."

A piece of red cloth, wrapped with fifteen gold coins, was placed in Wang Po's hand by Ning Hongqian. Wang Po was stunned and quickly refused, pushing it into Ning Hongqian's hand.

"What...you! If you have money, just keep it for yourself! Why give it to an old woman like me!" Grandma Wang suddenly became stern: "Have I starved you all these years? Or have I wronged you? Take it back now!"

Ning Hongqian and Ning Dongqing looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. They were about to give the money to Wang Po, but were severely scolded by Wang Po: "If you come back to bring me these foods, I'll welcome you anytime. My Sanqi loves to eat them, so I won't stop you. If you bring me these broken things, then don't come!"

"Mother Wang..."

Ning Dongqing and Ning Hongqian had tears in their eyes but they suppressed them.

"We treat Sanqi like a brother. You buy some clothes for him and for you. No, I'll buy you some food as well, okay?" Ning Hongqian grabbed Wang Po's hand and pressed the gold coin down.

"How could we cause you any trouble...right?"

Ning Dongqing responded with a smile.

Wang Po could only watch them run away, fearing that she would not take them in. Ning Sanqi just saw that they were running very fast, just like the two brothers and sisters were still running around Bailing Mountain with him. If they ran fast, they could also run through time.

But Wang Po was still standing, her back becoming more and more bent.
