Chapter 874: Chapter 874: Abnormality
Su Yuanyuan stood up and placed the child on the kang, patting Zeng Hongling on the shoulder, "This is pretty good. Let the elderly have a chance to come out and see the world."
At this moment, the bodyguard came in. This meant it was time to leave.
"Alright, I have to go now. If there’s anything, go find Secretary Qin."
"Yuanyuan, don’t worry about us. We’re all adults. You be careful on the road."
Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile and then left.
The next day was full of endless meetings, as time was very tight and there were still many things to get familiar with.
On the day of departure, Lu Chengmin saw Su Yuanyuan off.
"Stay safe."
"Boss, it’s not like I’m going to war. I’ll be careful."
"Alright. I trust you."
The four members of the cultivation world family practiced movement techniques every day now.
Tan Shaoting felt a bit envious. He truly couldn’t compare with the three kids. Their learning capability was incredible. Although his comprehension might be better, actually practicing it made him realize that training is best during youth.
Now, they’ve been training on Wolf Tooth Mountain for some time and have made some progress.
"Let’s head back." They’ve been out for over a month, time to go back and rest. Besides, they’ve been away from people for too long and might have missed some news.
"Dad, next time we want to trade with the long-armed apes," Qi Yan said while walking.
"Yeah, when we get back we’ll buy some spiritual food, get more, and go chat with the long-armed apes."
"You guys should buy some Spirit Beast Pills; they’re good for the long-armed apes."
Can’t take too much advantage; that’s not good.
Qi Wen heard her father mention Spirit Beast Pills and thought of her own spirit beast. Hurry and let it out, and the four of them ended up laughing.
Good gracious, this little rat has gotten quite fat, at least two circles bigger. Still munching away as it was released.
The Vajra Rat was also dazed when let out but quickly came to its senses.
"Master, what kind of master are you? Ignoring me for so long. I’m your spirit beast, you should care for me. Think of me when there are good things and opportunities."
Qi Wen, listening to this nonsense, immediately tossed it away.
The Vajra Rat jumped right back onto Qi Wen’s hand, "Master, how can you treat me like this?"
"Xiao Huei, if you don’t settle down, I’ll make sure you never get out again."
"Master, you’re too cruel." Its little eyes spun round and round as it spoke.
The four of them walked back with only the little mouse chattering away. It was nice, a change of mood.
They reached the market and went directly to the Spiritual Food Pavilion, having fooled around on the mountain for over a month, they had to improve things on returning.
The shopkeeper of the Spiritual Food Pavilion already knew the family, given how frequently they came, always stocking up on spiritual food before their adventures.
This time, they ordered too many snacks again, having them packed directly into the Storage Bag.
Once they were alone in the private room, Xiao Huei popped out.
"Master, it smells too good, doesn’t it?"
"You’re a Vajra Rat, these aren’t for you."
"How could you say that? Master, I want to eat too."
Despite Qi Wen’s verbal objections, she still prepared food for Xiao Huei.
After eating their fill, they headed to Duobao Pavilion. They did gain some things while on the mountain, especially with Qi Hong around, spirit plants were plentiful.
The rare and old ones were divided among the siblings and planted into their space. But they didn’t take everything to Duobao Pavilion; too much would attract attention.
There were also some demon beasts, though few were from Wolf Tooth Mountain. Mostly, they were victories from past battles, and they would sell some during each visit.
When settling the account, they asked for five bottles of Spirit Beast Pills, beneficial for the spirit beasts’ advancement.
They had just walked out of Duobao Pavilion and encountered some unfamiliar faces on the street.
On their way back, they occasionally ran into more strangers.
Wolf Tooth Mountain Market wasn’t that big. Even if there weren’t many familiar cultivators, they could recognize most of them.
The four of them were curious about all the newcomers. So, they decided to head to the tea house, the quickest place for news.
Tan Shaoting was never stingy with the kids, so they ordered the best tea, along with some Spirit Fruits and snacks. Even though they just ate, a little dessert was always welcome.
The four of them sat and listened to the conversations in the tea house.
"Dad, so it’s because of the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm. But isn’t there more than a year before it starts?"
"Yes, Dad, so many people have already arrived, there must be a lot entering the secret realm later."
Tan Shaoting nodded; was there news about the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm? This was just an ordinary secret realm, sects wouldn’t send people, so why so many people? And they didn’t seem like loose cultivators, but either sects or families.
There were also cultivators from outside sitting in the tea house drinking tea. Tan Shaoting used his Divine Sense to focus on them.
This group had five people: three men and two women, all late-stage Qi Cultivators. They weren’t speaking, just listening to everyone chat.
Trying to glean some information from them, but the attention wasn’t focused there. The talk was mostly trivial, with no real news about the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm.
After staying there for over an hour, there was nothing useful.
"Dad, let’s go back."
When they left, the five outsider cultivators followed.
Tan Shaoting maintained his Divine Sense on them, noticing they were following right behind.
They headed straight for their small courtyard. Unexpectedly, the five cultivators were doing the same.
When Tan Shaoting undid the array, the five cultivators were also undoing their small courtyard’s array. Turns out, they weren’t following them at all, but had their own place here.
Their gazes met, nodding to acknowledge each other before returning to their respective courtyards.
Back there, the three kids started chattering. Their place had a Third-tier Array for protection, quite high for such a small market.
Tan Shaoting went to boil some water, planning to have a good bath. Now, only the three siblings were sitting in the courtyard.
"I thought they were tracking us?" Qi Hong said with a smile.
"I thought so too, was ready to act if they had ill intentions."
Both brothers looked at their smiling sister, internally noting she was more fierce than them.
"What’s with those expressions? Was I wrong to say that?"
"You were right. But when you say it, a girl like you comes off as a bit aggressive, don’t you think, big brother?" Qi Hong laughed.
