Chapter 732 Settlement (2)

The couple hurriedly looked around with excitement clearly showing on their wrinkled faces as they looked around them before their eyes narrowed to two figures walking slowly outside the window being held by the hands of some youth who looked to be in his late teens.

Their excitement quickly turned to frowns then worry the longer their eyes fell on the two figures and they couldn't help but turn to Yang Qing with eyes that seemed to ask,

"What happened to them? Why are they like that? Is that really them?"

Yang Qing's only response was a smile followed by him sampling the dishes on the table and encouraging the couple to try some, who did not, as their eyes were glued to the stairs that led to their floor.

"They're okay.." Yang Qing softly added as he chewed on a star lobster.

He could see the anxiety and worry growing in the couple with every millisecond that passed by. Yang Qing's words did little to alleviate the worry. They had seen what they had seen, and that was the farthest thing from okay.

Refusing to blink or even move their eyes from the staircase, the object of their attention appeared, and their pupils couldn't help but tremble as they saw the two figures finally appear, slowly by slowly revealing their entire bodies.

Wang Huiyin who looked to be at the edge of her seat hurriedly lept up as she ran over to the two figures almost tripping over Wang Siyi's chair, who wasn't far behind as he too stood up and headed in the same direction as his wife.

"Yi'er! Liqin! Is that you?!" worriedly asked Wang Huiyin as she appeared like a phantom at the stairs directly in front of the two figures.

"Yi'er..Liqin.." Wang Siyi gently called out with worry and uncertainty when he saw the lack of reaction from the two figures who seemed to be in a daze.

He and his wife knelt beside the two figures as Wang Huiyin asked,

"What happened to them?"

Her tone was rife with worry, anxiety, and a little bit of anger.

The youth who had been holding the hands of the two figures smiled politely as he gently unclasped the two hands from his and motioned for the couple to bring out their hands to take over.

As seasoned figures, they knew how difficult it was to achieve a gold body much less in under four months. When the siblings left, they had been in the bronze stage, but only three months later they were already in the gold body. They could count on two hands the number of cultivators they knew who had reached the gold body but none that reached it in such a short period. The results shown by the siblings completely overturned what they knew.

Today was the day they truly caught a glimpse of how powerful the Order truly was.

Yang Qing turned to the youth as he said,

"You must be Mu Gao, thanks for bringing them.."

"I'm honored to have been the one to bring them, Judge Yang Qing, just as another senior helped me back then when I was in their position, and I didn't mind the merit points offered.."the teen answered with sheepish smile.

"How much did the instructor offer?" Yang Qing curiously asked.

"Four.." answered Mu Gao with a bit of awkwardness.

"Figures as much. They've always been the stingy sort.."

"That they are.." answered Mu Gao as both smiled wryly.

Yang Qing fished out a wine jar from his storage ring which he handed to Mu Gao.

"For your troubles and also as a gift for your coming graduation. You can share it with the rest.."

"Thanks, and Instructor Huo said they have three days, after that they would have to go back and complete their reconditioning before they can come back again. They'll be given two weeks then.."

"I'll tell them.." Yang Qing said as his gaze fell on the couple that were walking the siblings like they were newborn deer.

He exchanged a few more words with Mu Gao before they parted, and he joined the couple in the slow walk.
