Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1385: Arena

One of the female cultivators, with an impish look, bowed to Su Yuanyuan, "Hello, Aunt. I am Tan Qiyan’s fellow disciple; my name is Qiao Shishi."

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile, "Nice to meet you." Seeing Qiao Shishi’s approach, the other female cultivators lined up to greet Su Yuanyuan.

As she listened to the hearts of these girls, Su Yuanyuan marveled at her son’s popularity and also at the Sword Sect’s boldness.

Many female disciples from the Medicine Sect also liked Qi Hong, but none were as openly bold.

"Excuse me, everyone, I want to watch Tan Qiyan’s match."

By this time, the two people on the stage had already started; although there was a two-rank difference, it was clear to the discerning eye that Qi Yan was sure to win.

"Dad, isn’t my big brother amazing?"

"Yes, your big brother is indeed amazing."

"We will be as amazing in the future."

Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile, "I’m looking forward to it."

It didn’t take long for Qi Yan to win.

"Tan Qiyan, can’t you let me win just once?"

Qi Yan ignored him and directly left the stage. Seeing so many female cultivators around his family, his expression became even more indifferent.

Tan Shaoting knew his son disliked such situations, "Let’s go; we’re going to meet Qiu Ze Yun."

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were still in his embrace. "Dad, you go by yourself; thank Master on our behalf."

The two still wanted to stay there a bit longer; they hadn’t had their fill yet.

Tan Shaoting left by himself, leaving just the four of them, the mother and her sons.

"Big brother, we’ll definitely try it here when we have the chance in the future. Although the Xuantian Sect also has arenas, they aren’t as thrilling as this."

"Haha, alright then; you can try defending the arena. It’s not actually that difficult."

Listening to her three sons, Su Yuanyuan thought to herself that their whole family was battle-oriented. For a brief moment, she herself felt like stepping into the arena. But that thought lasted only a moment, and she had no intention of showing off.

Today, Qi Yan wasn’t planning to compete again, with his mother and little brothers here.

Now, none of the female cultivators were watching the arena; they all focused their attention here.

Women are quite critical when judging other women’s looks.

But today, all the female cultivators had to admit that Tan Qiyan’s mother was exceptionally beautiful.

Many Qi Cultivation cultivators were gathered here, and they couldn’t discern Su Yuanyuan’s bone age, but the Golden Core cultivators could.

They suspected that this woman wasn’t Tan Qiyan’s mother but his sister.

Su Yuanyuan transmitted a message to her eldest son, and the mother and her three sons left.

They returned to their residence, and Su Yuanyuan took them into the space.

"Mother, what’s the matter?"

Su Yuanyuan waved her hand, revealing the image of Chen Xiaorui in the Water Mirror.

"This person is your father’s junior sister from his past life. She recognized your father, but he didn’t admit it.

I always feel that things aren’t that simple, so remember her face and be cautious if you encounter her later. This woman harbors a possessive desire toward your father.

I know your father wouldn’t do anything wrong, but they did live together for over a hundred years in a past life. If something happens, you should be cautious."

Qi Yan frowned, "Mother, I understand."

"I’ve already informed Qi Hong about it; Qi Wen knows some. In any case, no matter what, you must realize that this woman wishes for my death and wants to monopolize your father.

Her Spirit Root is not great, but your father obtained an Earth Spirit Pearl at the Medicine Sect. Do you think he’ll give it to her?"

Now, Qi Yan’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

"Mother, my father wouldn’t do anything to wrong you."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I have confidence in that; your father has told me more than once. He raised his little junior sister like a young woman. That’s why I’m worried that if you confront her, your father might be upset."

Qi Yan shook his head, "Mother, he wouldn’t do that."

Su Yuanyuan smiled slightly and said nothing more. Who can know how things will turn out?

Previously, Tan Shaoting didn’t have anyone he truly cared about. Now, the person he was willing to give his life for in a past life has appeared, giving him another person to care about.

So, if problems really arise, will the balance in his heart tilt? Su Yuanyuan didn’t want to gamble, fearing her children would have a rift with him because of that woman.

"Mother, I understand. I’ll be careful."

"Mm, but there’s no need to worry too much. She can’t do much. Even if given the opportunity, how far can she go? I just don’t want you to get upset over irrelevant people."

"Mother, I understand."

"Oh, right, while at the Medicine Sect, we also acquired a Primordial Fruit Tree. Plant it, and keep the medicine field in the Storage Bag. It can serve as a cover."

"Mother, I don’t need to use the space, either."

"Better safe than sorry.

After we leave here, we’ll return directly to the sect and wait for the selection competition a year later. Will you participate in the ranking competition?"

Qi Yan nodded, "I intend to go; it’s a rare opportunity."

"Good, whether your father goes or not, I will certainly be going."

"Mother, don’t hold a grudge against my father." Qi Yan was worried.

Su Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, "How could I? I mean, your father just entered the Golden Core and might not qualify.

Qi Yan, you don’t have to worry about us."

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were listening on the side. Although they were young and didn’t quite understand, they remembered what their mother, big brother, and second brother had said, especially since they didn’t like that female cultivator either.

Su Yuanyuan instructed on many matters. After leaving her own space, she entered her son’s space to help with the arrangements.

Thinking of what the long-armed ape said, that the children’s space could still be upgraded, she decided to look for Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

After the four of them came out, Su Yuanyuan was still in charge of cooking, this time making dumplings for her sons.

Qi Yan loved dumplings, and having seen her son, a mother naturally wanted to make him something delicious.

Tan Shaoting left the arena and went to the tea house, where Qiu Ze Yun was already waiting.

When they met, both were at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, and now they had both reached the Golden Core Early Stage.

They felt a sense of mutual admiration and exchanged pleasantries for quite a while.

"Mr. Tan, we must have a match this time."

Tan Shaoting nodded with a smile, "Alright, whenever you say, Mr. Qiu."

"Let’s do it today. Let’s head to the arena."

With his wife and sons still at the arena, Tan Shaoting had no objection.

However, upon arriving, they couldn’t find them there.

Qiu Ze Yun went to the management office to schedule a match, as a competition between Golden Core Stage cultivators couldn’t take place in an ordinary arena.

Tan Shaoting transmitted a message to his wife but received no response, and it was the same with his son, causing him to worry.

Just as he was about to go looking for them, his son replied that they were making dumplings.

Qiu Ze Yun returned, "Mr. Tan, it’s not possible today; the arena is booked for us at noon tomorrow."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Alright, then see you tomorrow."
