Chapter 1325: Chapter 1325: Xiao Ho
By now, many people had gathered around, and they all understood that claiming to owe Spirit Stones was merely an excuse.
"Do you really want to get involved, fellow cultivator?"
Tan Shaoting was unequivocally supportive of his wife. It was just a little girl; if they were going to rescue her, then they’d rescue her.
So he stood directly in front of his wife. "Fellow cultivators, please give us a favor."
Although they were all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, facing someone in the late stage of Foundation Establishment was still daunting for them,
"Little girl, what’s so bad about serving the Second Young Master at the City Lord Mansion? You really don’t know what’s good for you."
The little girl still didn’t say a word. However, Su Yuanyuan knew that the Second Young Master had a certain peculiar hobby.
This girl’s looks were average, so it was unclear how she caught his eye.
Su Yuanyuan also regarded this little girl differently. She was smart, knowing what could be said and what couldn’t.
Everyone understood in their hearts, but no one would say it out loud.
"Fellow cultivators, if you’re not willing, then let’s forget it."
"Are the two of you really going to meddle?"
Tan Shaoting nodded.
The few people said nothing more and turned to leave.
Su Yuanyuan and her family wouldn’t let this matter affect their plans and continued to wander around the Free Market.
The girl was smart; she didn’t speak but stayed closely by their side.
Qi Wen crouched down to examine anything that caught her interest and would purchase anything she found suitable.
The two brothers stayed by her side, having heard the conversation earlier, and could guess the Second Young Master indeed had issues. Knowing this, they were determined to protect their sister.
Qi Wen bought some trinkets just because they looked nice, even though they were of no real use. Their Storage Bags were already quite well-equipped.
They kept strolling until dusk and then finally left, but the little girl still followed them.
After leaving the Free Market, Su Yuanyuan turned and looked at the girl. "Are you still going to follow us?"
"Without you, I’ll be captured immediately."
"But we’re going back to rest. Where are you going to follow us to?"
"Can you take me in? I won’t be a bother to you."
"You’re already being a bother to us this way," Qi Wen said bluntly.
"Can I exchange something with you? Even though it’s just a Jade Scroll, I believe you will need it."
Qi Wen snorted but didn’t oppose it. The girl seemed unwilling to ask for help but had no choice; her lofty demeanor while seeking help was indeed irritating.
Su Yuanyuan nodded. "Let’s go. Let me see how valuable your item is."
That’s how the world works; strangers don’t help each other without a personal interest. Su Yuanyuan had already gone out of her way earlier.
Brothers Qi Yan and Qi Hong walked ahead, sharing the same thoughts as their sister, finding the situation quite unsettling.
Upon returning to their place, Su Yuanyuan finally felt assured about the little girl.
She had not yet undergone Energy Introduction, not because she didn’t want to learn, but because her grandfather didn’t want her to go down this path.
On the outside, the world of cultivation looks splendid, but only cultivators know its hardships and helplessness.
She pulled a Jade Scroll out of her bosom and placed it directly on the table.
"This is a map of the Undersea Secret Realm my grandfather made. It’s because of this that he passed away."
Su Yuanyuan took the Jade Scroll. There wasn’t much information, but the general location was introduced.
"Senior, actually, my grandfather discovered that secret realm."
Su Yuanyuan nodded. An average Foundation Establishment-stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to do much even if they discovered a secret realm.
"Senior, can you take me in?"
Su Yuanyuan frowned, "I don’t have the time; we’re going to the secret realm."
"Senior, please save me. I have a Spirit Root. I’ll join a sect when there’s a new recruitment. Please save me during this time, senior."
Su Yuanyuan wasn’t willing, and Xiao Ho noticed.
She painfully took out a Storage Bag, suitable for mortals who haven’t cultivated yet, needing just a drop of blood to use.
She opened it and took out some Spirit Stones, all she had.
"Senior, can this be considered my lodging fee?"
"I already said we’re going to the secret realm as a family. Are you planning to live in this little courtyard by yourself?"
Xiao Ho nodded, "Senior, I’m willing to stay. I just need a place to survive while I wait for the recruitment."
Her current mindset was just to leave this wretched place, having lost all her loved ones here.
She believed her grandfather was wrong. What’s bad about cultivation?
Without cultivating, one might live only a few decades, but with cultivation, there are other hopes and possibilities.
In the end, Su Yuanyuan nodded. The map wasn’t of great use to her, but she sympathized with the girl’s stubbornness.
She herself had been helped in two lifetimes, so why not be a good person once?
"If you’re willing, you can stay here. As for the Spirit Stones, I don’t want them. Focus on your cultivation in the future."
Though not entirely likable, her stubbornness moved her.
Though it would be quite inconvenient before they left, she still took her in.
Though just a mortal, the family chose not to enter the space and continued to cultivate outside.
Xiao Ho was a well-behaved girl, careful not to go out unnecessarily, fearing she’d disturb others.
Su Yuanyuan occasionally spoke with the children in the space.
Until three days later, a Sound Transmission Talisman activated.
Nangong Xingyun arranged to meet them at the Spiritual Food Pavilion.
The family of five went out. This time, they would likely be informed of the exact time of departure.
The Birou Fairy was there this time too. She wanted to establish a good relationship with Su Yuanyuan and was growing impatient.
She wouldn’t have come out if it weren’t to avoid the Sect Leader’s son.
Su Yuanyuan understood her thoughts; she truly had no secret recipes, right? Isn’t Spiritual Spring Water not that rare in the Cultivation World?
Nangong Xingyun handed Tan Shaoting five Jade Tokens, "Mr. Tan, these are the tokens for going to the secret realm."
"Are these needed to enter the secret realm?"
Nangong Xingyun shook his head, "No, these represent the Identity Jades of Future City."
Tan Shaoting collected them all. These already had communication functions, best to store them properly now.
"Mr. Su, this is my Sound Transmission Talisman. If we enter the secret realm, we can use it to stay in touch. It’s safer in groups inside."
Su Yuanyuan accepted it with a smile and handed him her Sound Transmission Talisman. "Hope we meet inside."
The family preferred not to associate with outsiders, as it was very inconvenient. But they did not refuse the Birou Fairy now. The group chatted and laughed together.
At this moment, someone entered who bore a slight resemblance to Nangong Xingyun.
