Chapter 1308: Chapter 1308: Thoughts
Tan Shaoting smiled, "My wife and I have known each other since childhood. It was natural for us to be together when the time came."
Nangong Xingyun wanted to know more than that. He was already over fifty, had some concubines, but there had been no movement all these years.
That’s why he wanted to befriend Tan Shaoting, feeling there must be some secret formula.
The three older children were triplets, and the two younger ones were twins. Even in the Mortal World, such occurrences were rare.
"You are really lucky." He just met them, and asking now wouldn’t get him an answer, so he decided to wait and ask later.
"Mr. Tan, if you ever need anything in Future City, you can come directly to me."
Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Nangong. If I encounter any difficulties, I will definitely trouble you."
"Don’t be so polite, Mr. Tan. Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer."
The two exchanged courtesies, and after parting, Tan Shaoting returned to his residence.
He knew his wife wouldn’t keep the children outside for too long.
She was still unfamiliar with the place and wouldn’t let the children be in danger.
He entered to find his wife outside teaching two children to read, and the two little ones sat well-behaved and attentively listening.
Upon seeing their father enter, the two little ones excitedly stood up, then remembered something and obediently sat back down.
Su Yuanyuan was also quite happy to see Tan Shaoting return. She thought it would be better to leave the teaching to him. She was cautious, afraid of teaching them wrong, which would have a bad influence on the children.
"You two can play for a while."
As if they were pardoned, the two little ones cheered and rushed to their father.
Tan Shaoting’s heart melted, and he lifted the sons tugging at his legs.
"Very good boys."
The two smiled lovingly at him.
Su Yuanyuan set up a seesaw for them to play on.
"I don’t dare teach them. I feel confused myself, and I’m afraid I might mislead them."
"Yuanyuan, you’re too cautious. It’s okay."
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, I’m afraid it might affect them in the future."
"Then I’ll teach them slowly. If we can get into a sect, they will have the chance to learn systematically."
"Are we going in shortly?"
"Sure. Earlier, Nangong Xingyun asked if we’re interested in entering the secret realm, but I declined."
Su Yuanyuan nodded as well, understanding the allure of the secret realm. But it was not suitable for them now. There would be plenty of opportunities to explore such realms in the future; there was no rush.
The family started to retreat in their space again, unaware that someone outside was already planning to cause them trouble.
Qi Hong had already looked through the books they bought, and the family decided to go out for a walk.
The four of them appeared in the streets, experiencing two different lifestyles.
Inside the space, they wouldn’t disturb each other, but outside, the bustling crowd brought them a sense of noise after the calm.
This time, Qi Hong wanted to try alchemy. He had previously managed to refine a first-grade pill but stopped after the fire source became unstable when they returned.
Coming to the Cultivation World this time, his hands itched to try again.
The family returned to the Duobao Pavilion, never having visited Nangong’s shops, as they felt the Duobao Pavilion was more reliable.
This time, the store attendant was even more enthusiastic towards them.
"We need an elixir recipe. Do you have any?"
"Senior, we have some elixir recipes, but not many."
"Can I preview them?" Qi Hong asked.
"Yes, you can see two specific elixir recipes. The rest, only the names are visible."
This was normal.
"We also need Alchemy-Fire Talismans."
"Please wait a moment. I’ll get them ready."
Su Yuanyuan had looked into Alchemy-Fire Talismans, but it seemed she hadn’t reached that level yet and couldn’t draw them.
Shortly, the attendant brought over what they needed.
Qi Hong reviewed a few copies and found they didn’t differ much from the recipes he knew.
He looked at the names of the recipes below and found a few he didn’t recognize, so he decided to buy them.
He reviewed all the Jade Scrolls and chose three pieces in the end.
They ordered five hundred Alchemy-Fire Talismans, which was quite a grand move.
"Sir, you might want to try the City Lord Mansion’s Alchemy Room. I hear their elixir fire is stable."
Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile. Their family didn’t want unnecessary trouble, and he knew his second son’s talent.
He feared causing trouble, so it was better to safely enter the Medicine Sect.
Su Yuanyuan bought five hundred pieces of talisman paper and chose a talisman pen and vermillion that caught her eye.
The family left the Duobao Pavilion to pick up the vestment robes they ordered at the Spiritual Clothing Pavilion.
Only female cultivators were present there, so Tan Shaoting and his sons didn’t enter. Su Yuanyuan took her children in to collect the robes.
She found the two sets of vestment robes quite cute.
"Miss, could we have a quiet room to try these on?"
They wanted to dress Qi Hao and Qi Xuan in the robes.
Qi Wen also liked the two outfits and found it amusing once they were dressed.
"Mom, let’s each have two sets made; they look nice."
"Alright, I’ll make you two more sets."
The three brothers were called in, but in the end, their parents didn’t have any made; Qi Yan and his two siblings each got two sets.
They were leaving, and of course, their parents were concerned. They wanted to provide them with the best protection.
Their vestment robes cost two thousand Spirit Stones per set.
The staff at the Spiritual Clothing Pavilion were amazed by such extravagance, assuming they must be quite wealthy.
After paying the Spirit Stones, the robes would be ready in a month.
Upon leaving the Spiritual Clothing Pavilion, the family noticed someone tailing them.
Su Yuanyuan listened to his thoughts, "It’s the relative claiming to have a kin in the City Lord Mansion."
"Here for vengeance?" Qi Wen was a bit excited.
"It’s not allowed within the city."
"I really want to see how my Foundation Establishment peers fare here."
"Qi Wen, don’t be overconfident."
"Mom, I know. But I’m curious about the strength of Foundation Establishment cultivators here since this place was once part of the Great World."
The family strolled slowly, taking less crowded paths.
Soon, a Foundation Establishment cultivator blocked their way.
"Please, hold on."
Su Yuanyuan unleashed her pressure towards him immediately.
They were cultivators of the same level, though this person was a layer above her, yet Su Yuanyuan’s Divine Sense surpassed even Tan Shaoting’s. She could handle him without any problem.
The man gritted his teeth in resistance. "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"Shouldn’t I ask what you mean? Why are you blocking us?"
Beads of sweat began to form on his forehead. "I just want to ask about my brother."
"I don’t know you, and who’s your brother? Get lost."
"I heard that my brother and his companions died at the hands of your family."
