Chapter 1326: Departure
Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Departure
Nangong Xingyun thought they would talk about his younger brother. Unexpectedly, they said nothing about it.
After finishing tea, they agreed to meet at the City Lord Mansion’s entrance in ten days.
With this, the family of five felt assured. The time was set, so they just needed to wait at home; there was no need to wander outside.
When they returned, Xiao Ho just came out to meet them briefly, then returned to her room.
She wanted to cultivate but feared it might backfire. She knew the family were good people and could probably tell her, but she didn’t want to ask and trouble them.
On the ninth day, the family went out. Although they had decided not to interfere, they couldn’t just watch and let themselves starve, so they brought back some grain and vegetables.
It was estimated that this trip might take about a month. Xiao Ho would have to manage by herself.
Actually, the rest of the family didn’t feel much towards Xiao Ho; it was just that Su Yuanyuan felt her stubborn eyes looked like her own.
Xiao Ho was grateful in her heart, but didn’t express it out loud. She didn’t know how to convey her feelings.
The next day, the family arrived at the City Lord Mansion, where many cultivators had already gathered.
The City Lord Mansion had staff to entertain guests, and their family was invited into a side hall.
"Mother, I see people from several big sects have arrived."
"Let’s set out together."
Qi Wen was a little excited. Although she had previously missed such large gatherings for secret realm expeditions, she had never missed a joint departure. It should be quite lively.
Nangong Xingyun approached them, greeted them briefly, and invited their family to follow him outside.
Looking at the current City Lord, Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, although he was over five hundred years old, he looked like only forty, quite deceiving indeed.
However, Nangong Liuyun’s character was decent. Listening to his thoughts, he seemed to be a relatively upright person.
The departure was organized by sects. Seeing the grand flying boats of others, the family was quite envious.
Nangong Xingyun kept an eye on their family. The information he had was that they were loose cultivators, so it was normal they didn’t have flying boats. After all, high-grade flying artifacts are hard to acquire on the market, proving they really are loose cultivators.
He walked over with a smile. "Mr. Tan, are you interested in flying artifacts? My third uncle is a seventh-grade artifact refiner. If you have the materials, I can introduce you."
Tan Shaoting returned the gesture with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Nangong. We indeed lack flying artifacts.
The three kids want to join a sect, and I thought about preparing for them. Neither Duobao Pavilion nor Treasure Pavilion has anything that caught my eye, and I’ve been quite worried."
Nangong Xingyun chuckled, "If you just need personal flying artifacts, you can exchange for them when we return.
Auction events and exchange gathers will definitely be held upon return."
Tan Shaoting had considered this and was just waiting to see when they returned.
This time, the City Lord Mansion brought two hundred people to the secret realm. The arrangement was that each of the ten representatives from the City Lord Mansion would lead twenty people.
Their family was in Nangong Xingyun’s group.
Su Yuanyuan, with heightened senses, was displeased by someone observing their family.
So, she traced with her divine sense and discovered that person to be Nangong Xingyun’s brother, Nangong Liuyun.
It was genuinely revolting that he had intentions on her and the young woman.
If such a person fell into her hands, she would surely deal with them.
Moreover, although this person appeared harmless, deep inside, he was truly malevolent.
Anything else was none of her concern as long as he didn’t target her family.
Su Yuanyuan genuinely felt disgusted. As long as his wife was around him, Tan Shaoting would always focus some attention on her.
"Let’s go back to the room."
The four children naturally agreed. There were too many people on the deck, and they all knew each other, forming connections. Their family didn’t intend to make friends, so going back was just right.
The family entered the room assigned to them. Tan Shaoting set down a third-tier array plate, which made everyone feel a bit more comfortable.
Su Yuanyuan released the sound insulation shield again, making it easier to talk.
She voiced Nangong Liuyun’s inner thoughts, "As long as we’re together, it’s fine. If not, you must be cautious of that person."
The three children nodded. If Nangong Liuyun, a cultivator in the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, truly fought them hard, he wouldn’t fare well either. Thus, Su Yuanyuan emphasized to them the need to be prudent.
Future City was quite far from the coast where Lu Li was, even with the speed of such a large flying boat. It required five days of travel.
Throughout these five days, the family often went out for fresh air. Su Yuanyuan picked up the thoughts of many people.
There were all kinds of people; many with ill intentions aimed for quick riches.
Some were indifferent, wanting only to explore the Undersea Secret Realm.
The rest were City Lord Mansion’s people, with modest intentions, hoping to protect the ones they brought along.
Each day brought new information, which the family shared, especially urging the children to watch out for certain individuals to avoid suffering.
The possibility of separation within the secret realm was high, and the experience provided them greatest assistance.
Nangong Xingyun occasionally dropped by for chats with the family.
In recent years, the lowest-level cultivators were the three of them, Qi Yan and his siblings. After reaching Foundation Establishment, they would encounter and learn a lot more.
Consequently, Su Yuanyuan’s family learned increasingly more.
As the eldest son of the City Lord Mansion, Nangong Xingyun bore some prestige. This time, leading the team, he was with peers, meaning he was in the late-stage Foundation Establishment and the remaining nine were mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Su Yuanyuan also understood that the Undersea Secret Realm had its limits and realized why only one Nascent Soul and three Golden Cores accompanied, as they were there to protect the cultivators of the City Lord Mansion.
Behind was the flying boat of the Xuantian Sect. Anyway, Su Yuanyuan found the long strip of flying boats quite impressive.
On the fifth day, the leaders notified everyone.
All were on the deck, and their presence was enough to attract attention due to Qi Yan and his siblings with their low cultivation levels and young age. Among the tall Foundation Establishment cultivators, the three Qi Cultivation cultivators were bound to draw eyes.
Su Yuanyuan found it amusing, wondering why Nangong Xingyun made such a decision? It’s indeed a risky one, isn’t it?
But she was confident in protecting her children, and besides, Qi Yan and his siblings were capable of self-defense.
The flying boat slowly halted, but it was in mid-air, and now they had to descend on their own.
Su Yuanyuan’s proficiency in sword flight was quite adept. She carried her daughter, while her two sons followed Tan Shaoting.
Upon reaching the ground, they stood behind Nangong Xingyun.
Opening times for the Undersea Secret Realm were fixed, and most didn’t know them, so they followed the group leaders.
