Chapter 1317: We're Going Back
(MC POV)
"What are all of you doing?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my disciples who had decided to gather in front of my room.
Even Lilith, Brendan and Cai Hong were here too...
Lian Li giggled, "We're here to write Master's book of course~"
I rolled my eyes, "I have yet to even start, so there's nothing for you all yet."
She giggled, "It's ok, we can wait~"
"No, no, no. You don't understand, I might not even be starting today yet."
"Ehhhhhh..." All of them groaned in disappointment.
"Why are all of you surprised? Didn't I already say that I have no plans to start it that soon yet?"
"Ara, ara? We thought that meant that Master would start later in the day," Manami admitted.
I shook my head, "It's not that simple you know? Before you can start writing, you also need to consider how the story would go."
Elaria nodded, "Nnn... Onii-sama is right. You can't rush this. You need to make a proper storyboard first! If Onii-sama needs help with that, I can do it!"
I patted her head, "I'll keep that in mind. But I'm not drawing a manga..."
"But Master is still planning to write it, right?" Diao Chan asked, her eyes sparkling.
I don't even know why she's that excited about it, but I still nodded to her question, nevertheless.
Tsuki raised her hand, "I know, Aniue! Why don't we go back to the old World for a few days? It's been a few weeks since we last saw the others right? It might help you find some inspiration!"
I turned to Iris and raised an eyebrow at her as a silent gesture of asking if this was fine.
She smiled at me, "If we limit the visit to a few days, it should be alright, Master."
Lian Li clapped her hands together, "We can also ask them to write something for Master's book too! This is a great idea!"
Hmm... I suppose that might help me get started too.
I nodded, "Alright then, let's go."
"Eh? Right now, Master?" Eris asked.
"Of course? It's not like you have anything to pack right? Or do you all have something else to take care of before you leave?"
Lian Li raised a finger, "Give us a moment, Master!"
Interestingly, all of them turned back and huddled together to whisper amongst themselves.
It took me quite a bit of self control not to eavesdrop on them.
They continued their whispering for a while before they turned back.
"Umm... A few of us have some things to take care of, Master..." Lian Li admitted a little sheepishly. "But there's a few of us who can accompany us."
"Oh? Who?"
Lian Li gestured to herself, Lilith and my two little sisters.
That's a surprising combination.
I thought that if Lian Li was coming, Manami would come along as well which would mean Kiyomi would also be accompanying us.
I'm guessing Tsuki and Elaria wanted to come along because of the potential for them to write another story while Lian Li wanted to go back to our old home to check on our acquaintances.
As for Lilith... I'm guessing she's also just bored and wanted to go out to play.
Lilith grinned, "I'm not going to pass up a chance to go there and play, Daddy~"
Looks like it was as I guessed.
I had the four of them separate themselves from the others to gather in front of me after they said their farewells.
Well, they can still communicate through telepathy and it'll just take a moment to teleport back here anyway.
"Alright, then are you all ready to go now?" I asked.
All of them nodded so I simply snapped my fingers and teleported all of us back to our old World, appearing in the centre of my Courtyard.
"Welcome back, Master."
I turned around to see Sophia standing there and bowing towards me.
Why am I not even surprised to see her there?
"Hello Sophia, I'm here to stay for a little while."
"Of course, Master. May I know how long you might be staying?"
"Mmm... Just for a few days. I unfortunately still can't stay for too long right now."
"Understood Master. Shall I send the letters to let everyone know you have returned for a while? Or is this meant to be an undisturbed return?"
She really was prepared for this huh?
I tapped my chin, "Hmm... Ah, that would actually help a lot for what I have in mind. Please do that, Sophia. Could you call them to gather here?"
She then disappeared from sight before reappearing again while bowing her head, "They have received the news, Master. They shall be coming to your Courtyard shortly."
And just as she said that...
"HUUUUSSSSBAAAAANNNNNDDDD!!!"
I looked up to see Luna dive bombing towards me, giving me barely enough time to reach out my hands to catch her before she crashed into me.
"Husband! I missed you so much! Why didn't you tell me you were going to ascend?! If you did, I would have strived for Godhood as well! Ah! No matter! I am already doing it so you just need to wait for me! Just watch! I will ascend to Godhood as well and then we can finally be a real husband and wife! Don't worry, husband, I'm not a jealous type so you can still have your disciples too! But just let me be your wife!"
I chuckled, "Haha... It has indeed been a while, Luna. I'm glad to see that you are doing well."
She pouted, "It's not fair, Husband... Even I want to stay by your side too... Leaving me here by myself is just unfair."
"Sorry, sorry. But I was in a rush at that time. Now I'm back," I apologised while patting her head.
"Mnnngghhh... You know I can't stay mad at you, Husband... It's ok now! Because now I have another goal to work towards!"
I was just about to ask how she was planning to ascend when someone cleared their throat behind her.
I peeked over her shoulder to see Sect Master Qin standing there awkwardly.
"It's good to see you back Master Lin. Heaven Sect just isn't the same without you around. But it also makes me proud to know how far you have gone since the day you walked in through the Sect gates."
I grinned, "And it's good to see that you are still in peak condition Sect Master Qin. I'm sure you're doing a great job running this Sect without me."
"Ahaha, Master Lin does know how to jest! But this old man might be looking to retire soon. So what has the great Master Lin returned for? This old man knows this is more than just a social visit."
"Actually, it is. But the main thing is that I want to write a story so I was thinking if you'd like to contribute to it?"
Luna gasped, "Ohhhh! I do! I do! Please let me write that we are both married and together!!"
I thought she might ask for that...
Oh well, let's just gather everyone and explain to them all after they are here so that I can avoid repeating stuff...
