No matter if one had Spiritual Roots or not, or even the best ones if one wanted to embark on the journey of cultivation, the said person needed to awaken them in order to set foot in the world of cultivation.
It was akin to a seed which unless was given some water or moisture to germinate, no matter how good the plant might turn out to be after, it was nothing but a seed, which might even die and would never germinate if not given the proper conditions.
Likewise, the same was true for Spiritual Roots.
In the case of the Spiritual Roots, one had to be around some Spiritual Qi, in order to awaken them, the amount would depend on the concentration of the Spiritual Qi present, or the Spiritual Roots themselves.
Ye Qian didn't doubt that Mrs Ji might have had some encounter with something that had Spiritual Qi or had injected something which had a lingering amount of Spiritual Qi in it, like the apricots, brought given by Grandpa Xiao to the three little girls a few days ago.
"So where are your Grandma and grandpa Qiqi?"
Mrs Ji asked while looking at the little girl who was smiling as she looked out of the window.
"Huh, Grandma Xue and others stay in the Tian Old Age Home," said the little girl with a wide smile.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing the name, Mrs Ji frowned and couldn't help but look at Ye Qian from the corner of her eyes, thinking that he wasn't like how she had thought of him to be.
She had subconsciously thought that Ye Qian had kept his parents at the old age home and would meet them a few times, and this made her feel that what the young man acted was pretty different from how he actually was.
'To keep his parents in the old age home...'
"So how old is your grandma Xue?"
Mrs Ji asked, pushing the thought aside.
"Umm, Grandma Xue is 62 years old."
Zhimen, who had been hearing about the delicious treats couldn't help but ask as he recalled the taste of the cake he had just a few days ago.
"Hehe, yes, that was made by her, wasn't it so delicious."
The little girls couldn't help but mutter with drool forming on their lips and the same was true for Zhimen.
Taking a look back, Mrs Ji couldn't help but smile while shaking her head.
From the looks of it, she felt that the relationship between the little girls and their grandparents was good, which only made her think that Ye Qian was the one to be blamed for making them stay at the old age home.
Both of her parents had died a few years ago and her parents-in-law were staying in their home town, and although the thing between her husband and her had soured lately, they had been always good to her, so she just couldn't fathom just how could a son who was doing good enough in his life just have the heart to put his parents in old age care.
However, if any of the Ye family were to hear what Mrs Ji was thinking then they might surely say that what she had been thinking was completely wrong, in fact, the little girls would have been the first ones to stop someone from falsely blaming their Papa.
Nonetheless, no one in the car was aware that Mrs Ji was thinking all this as they made their way to the Tian old age home, in which a few figures were waiting with eagerness to welcome a few apples of their eyes.
Meanwhile, Ye Qian, who was being labelled as a bad son by the woman next to him, sat peacefully with a simple smile on his face, but in his mind, there were numerous things he was thinking of.
'Even if we do leave Earth after a few years, will Butterfly and Xiao Ya be able to let go of their bonds with people here?'
No one other than Ye Qian knew this fact well.
No matter how much stronger one gets, once a person's spiritual level goes beyond what the worldly laws can allow, the person would be forced to ascend to the higher realm.
And that was what he was worried about.
Regarding his family, the ones who had been treating his family as their one and loved them so much all these years.
He just couldn't think of taking them away from all those people for a long time, and who knew that by the time the girls got strong enough to come back to the world those people would still be able to live.
