âItâs nothing. Back then, my ego was too big so I didnât dare to tell you. Now that I am older, I have thought things through. I know if I miss something, Iâve missed them for good.â âThis should be a nice reunion, and now I donât know what to say after you said that,â David said helplessly.
âLetâs talk about other things then. Amelia should be with you now, right?â Ava changed the subject.
âPlease donât spew nonsense. I have a girlfriend. Her name is Celia and she was my high school classmate. I got with her after Sarah dumped me. However, Amelia has been cultivating with Celia and the women,â David explained.
âWho are the women?â Ava asked curiously.
âUm⦠Just some close friends.â
âAnd theyâre all women.â
âUh⦠I guess. But please donât misunderstand, Ava. Weâre all friends and Celia is my only girlfriend.
David could only brace himself and answer.
At the same time, he emphasized he only had one girlfriend.
âDavid, not bad! Do you want one more?â Ava mocked.
âAva, stop joking.â
âI am not joking, David. Now that everyoneâs practicing martial arts. There are martial arts classes for primary school pupils and university students. Of course, I donât want to be left behind,â Ava said seriously.
Ava had a huge ego.
If she did not run into David this time, she would hide those words in her heart forever.
Now that she had said it out loud, she had to fight for it to make up for her regrets.
Furthermore, Amelia had not succeeded either.
So, she would have a friend if she joined the women.
âAva, we will leave Earth and even the Milky Way together this time to go to a strange place. We might not come back in ten years or even a few hundred years. Can you accept that? Are you willing to leave your family and friends behind? This departure might be forever,â David thought about it and said.
He said this because he did not think Ava could accept this.
After all, not everyone was willing to leave their family behind to seek longevity.
Of course, David was exaggerating.
Even if they went, David would still find a chance to bring Celia and the women back to visit their parents in twenty or thirty years.
However, he would not say this.
âYouâre leaving Earth and you wonât come back in maybe tens or hundreds of years?â Ava asked in shock.
âYes.â
âWhy?â
âWeâre looking for a higher form of martial arts so we can protect Earth after we master it.â
âDoes it mean youâll live longer if you are more powerful?â
âYes. You can even live forever if you reach a certain realm.â
âLive forever?â
Ava was stunned.
She never expected one could live forever after practicing martial arts.
âIsnât this something from a tv show or movie? Does this also exist in real life?â
What David said changed her worldview completely.
