Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage
Chapter 96 Mr. and Mrs. Chu Arrive
After resting quietly for more than ten days, Chu Qiuchi and the others had recovered well; their injuries had basically healed, and they could resume their daily physical training. Only Chu Qiuchi's mental space was still under repair and would likely require a considerable amount of time to fully recover. This made Chu Qiuchi even more eager to research a medicine to cure mental damage.
During this period, without fail, Ao Nanxi brought them breakfast every morning. After breakfast, everyone would begin their cultivation, and Ao Nanxi would tacitly join them.
This unspoken understanding gradually made Chu Qiuchi stop pondering Aonanxi's ulterior motives. Instead, she felt that Aonanxi was someone she could get along with. As a royal princess, Aonanxi could be a little arrogant at times, but most of the time, she was very easygoing and unpretentious.
That morning, Chu Qiuchi and her group finished breakfast and were preparing to head to the training ground for their daily training. Just as they stepped out of their tent, they bumped into a soldier who had come looking for her.
"Chu Qiuchi, Chu Yichen, your parents have come to visit you. They are currently at the entrance to the war zone. Would it be convenient for you to go and see them?" the visitor said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, then slapped her forehead, her heart sinking – she knew it! She'd been feeling like she'd forgotten something lately; it turned out she'd forgotten to send a message home to explain what had happened. She and Chu Yichen exchanged a glance, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes; clearly, they both realized they'd neglected this matter.
"It's over." Chu Qiuchi muttered to himself, then hurriedly said to the person who came, "It's convenient, we'll be right there, thank you."
The soldier smiled and nodded. "It's alright, please come with me."
So, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen hurriedly went to the entrance of the war zone with the soldiers.
Before leaving, Chu Qiuchi turned to the others and said, "Yichen and I are going to see our parents. You guys go ahead and train, don't wait for us." She paused, then added, "Oh, right, don't forget to send a message home and explain what happened before."
The others nodded and then headed towards the training ground to begin their training for the day.
Guided by the soldiers, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen walked towards the entrance of the war zone. Both of them were a little uneasy, after all, so many things had happened before without telling their families, and now that their parents had come in person, they were probably going to get a scolding.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the entrance to the war zone, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen saw Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya pacing anxiously back and forth. Seeing their parents' anxious appearance, the two sighed in unison, quickened their pace, and ran towards them.
When Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya saw their two children walk towards them unharmed, their hearts finally relaxed. But when they thought about how the two of them had gone through such a big thing without telling their family, their anger surged up again, and their faces unconsciously darkened.
Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen felt a pang of guilt and a sense of unease. Chu Qiuchi mustered her courage and quickly ran to her parents, taking their hands and beaming with a smile: "Mom and Dad, why are you here so early? Have you eaten?"
Chu Siyuan snorted coldly. He originally wanted to shake off Chu Qiuchi's hand, but he held back in the end. Instead, he squeezed her hand tightly: "I'm afraid that if we don't come again, someone will completely forget about us."
Chu Qiuchi quickly feigned pain, secretly observing her father's reaction while pretending to be surprised and saying, "Ouch, it hurts so much! How could that be? I'd never forget you and Mom!"
A hint of heartache flashed across Chu Siyuan's face, but he quickly composed himself and maintained his serious demeanor: "Hmph, can it hurt as much as the beating? Besides, I didn't use much force! And you say you haven't forgotten? How long has it been since you last sent a message home? Should I remind you?"
Chu Qiuchi lowered her head guiltily and coughed lightly, clearly embarrassed. She knew she had indeed neglected this matter.
Qiu Jingya carefully examined the two children and finally felt relieved. She sighed softly and said reproachfully, "That's right, you two had such a big thing happen to you, and you didn't tell the family a single word. Do you know how worried your father and I were when we heard about it?"
Hearing Qiu Jingya's words, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen were both stunned, their guilt growing stronger. Chu Qiuchi reached out and gently squeezed Qiu Jingya's hand, saying softly, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. We didn't tell you the details in time, which made you worry. I'm really sorry."
Chu Yichen stepped forward and took Qiu Jingya's hand, saying softly, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, it's our fault for making you worry!"
Hearing this, Qiu Jingya and Chu Siyuan's expressions finally softened. Chu Siyuan looked around, seemingly wanting to find a quiet place to talk, but there was no suitable secluded spot in sight. Helpless, he said softly, "Let's talk in your tents. You need to explain what happened before to me clearly."
Seeing that their expressions had improved, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen both breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Chu Siyuan's words, Chu Qiuchi immediately replied, "Okay, Mom and Dad, let's go to the tent to talk, it's quieter there."
After registering at the entrance, Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen led their parents towards their tent. Both Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen knew that if they didn't explain things clearly this time, things might get complicated.
Upon entering the tent, Chu Siyuan and Qiu Jingya sat down, while Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen pulled up chairs and sat facing each other, their gazes fixed on their parents. The atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat heavy. Chu Qiuchi lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke, "Mom and Dad, the thing is actually like this—"
She began to recount her experiences in detail, from the initial tension of receiving the mission, to the perilous attack, to the helplessness of being flogged, and the appearance of Ao Nanxi. To avoid causing her parents excessive worry, Chu Qiuchi downplayed the severity of the situation, only briefly mentioning her injury and unconsciousness, and omitting the serious damage to her mental space, so as not to cause them too much anxiety.
Chu Yichen added from the side, "Indeed, things happened so suddenly that we didn't even think to inform our families, which is why you were worried. We are really sorry."
Listening to the children's words, a hint of heartache flashed in Qiu Jingya's eyes, while Chu Siyuan grew increasingly uneasy, his expression gradually darkening. Especially when he heard the news that Chu Qiuchi had previously fallen into a coma due to a mental attack from the Blood Bat Clan, and that his mental space had also been damaged, his worries intensified.
Chu Siyuan was angry but also a little helpless. He poked Chu Qiuchi's forehead with his finger and said angrily, "You, are you trying to scare your father to death? You didn't even tell us about something so important!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but take Chu Qiuchi's hand and prepare to input his mental energy to check the state of her mental space himself.
Chu Qiuchi clearly sensed the intense fluctuations of his father's spiritual power, and an urge to run away surged within him. He couldn't help but guiltily pull his hand back, inwardly groaning, "I'm doomed, I'm going to get yelled at to death..."
