The Daily Melon-Eating Life of an Annoying Sister-in-Law in the 80s

As a Celestial Master, Hua Xiangyun, after years of hard work, was finally able to form a contract with the Nine Lotus Cauldron, a treasured artifact left by her grandmaster. Unexpectedly, somethin...

Chapter 511 Seeking Help

After entering the room, Wu Chenxi breathed a long sigh of relief. She had had enough of the chattering of everyone on the way here, and it was a rare moment of peace and quiet.

He quickly pulled out the communication talisman from the bag. It was a rare and precious item that his apprentice had only finished drawing before the new year.

She only carried a few bills with her, thinking that she could contact her apprentice in case of an emergency.

As the tomb passage slowly brightened, Wu Chenxi put the talisman away again. She didn't know if she could contact her disciple under these circumstances, so she decided not to waste his efforts.

However, today was not bad. Those people still had some good items on them. I believe that after today, whenever they think of exchanging talismans, they will prioritize our family.

They are all heirs of old-established sects, and who knows how many good things they have. Today, she is just throwing out a brick to attract jade for her disciple.

Looking at the tomb passage in front of me, this is just endless, with one checkpoint after another. Could there really be some amazing treasure inside?

She didn't rush inside. Instead, she leaned against the stone door she had just entered through, set up a table and chairs, and took out the food her apprentice had prepared for her.

The downside of following the crowd is that these people have no quality of life; they're always eating dry rations, so she has no choice but to go along with them.

It wasn't that she was stingy; these were all gifts from her disciple and his wife. Cultivators have big appetites, so she should enjoy all of this herself.

While enjoying the Hua family's unique pickled fish, she didn't forget to pour herself a bowl of soup. This woman really can't live without soup and broth; only these things can truly satisfy her.

...

Hua Xiangyun stretched early in the morning and slowly walked to the kitchen. She was one of the last people to get up in the family, not counting her little nephew who was still getting his diaper changed.

"Good morning," Hua Xiangyun said as she stepped out of the room. In the courtyard, the old man was leading them in stretching their limbs and practicing the moves she had taught them before.

Jiang Yi immediately stopped what he was doing. "Are you done washing up?"

There was always a thermos in the side room, and he filled it up again after he used it up.

"Alright, what are we planning to do today?" Hua Xiangyun asked casually. She had thought that since they had come to Beijing, everyone would want to go out and have some fun, but she didn't expect that they were all busier than her.

In the words of the two elderly people, they had been to Beijing before and had seen all the must-see places, so they didn't want to suffer in this freezing weather.

As for the Hua brothers and their friends, they can go out and have fun in the future. They should settle down first before thinking about anything else.

Hua Xiangyun thought that everyone would press their advantage and go to look at houses again today, but unexpectedly, Hua Guangzong said, "Let's go to Zhiping's place first to tidy up. Once it's ready, they can move in first, so we don't have to be in a rush later."

Fearing that his granddaughter might misunderstand, Hua Guangzong explained, "The neighbors over there also need to go and spend some time with them. They have a child here, and if the neighbors can help take care of him, their lives will be much easier in the future."

Hua Xiangyun knew in her heart that once her elder brother's family settled down, the two elderly people would definitely move over first. The elderly people had their own concerns and stubbornness, and she could only go along with them.

“Then let’s all go over and lend a hand today. More people will get things done faster. Besides, Jiang Yi knows this place well, so we can prepare anything we need together.”

Hua Guangzong nodded, not refusing the good intentions. Brothers and sisters should help each other like this. He also planned to give each of the two brothers a few hundred yuan as a resettlement allowance later, so that his granddaughter wouldn't have to help them out when she saw that the two brothers were short of money.

Before they even left the house, Shouheng rushed in anxiously, "Comrade Hua, please come with me right away."

Jiang Yi stepped in front of Hua Xiangyun, blocking his outstretched hand, "Let's talk this out."

Shouheng was anxious, and Jiang Yi was blocking his way. He was inevitably annoyed. Although he was an outer disciple, he still had his own temper and cultivation. He gathered spiritual energy in his hand and swung it at Jiang Yi.

The person who should have been thrown into the air was now staring at him without moving. Under the mockery in the other's eyes, he only felt himself floating in the air. Before he could react, a loud bang was heard, and a sharp pain came from his back.

"You..." Shouheng, regaining his senses, wanted to accuse him, but couldn't find any reason to do so, since he was the one who attacked first.

Jiang Yi, who thought he was just lucky to have won Hua's favor, turned out to be quite capable.

As a cultivator, why wasn't he recorded in the Xuan section?

The Hua brothers stared at Jiang Yi with shining eyes. They hadn't seen Jiang Yi make any move, so how did he push the person so far away?

If they learn this skill, could they take on ten opponents at once?

Jiang Yi: "Comrade Shouheng, what happened? Why did you suddenly fall down?"

Shouheng, "..." How did I fall down? Don't you know? You're still pretending to be stupid. You're really brave enough to do something but not to admit it.

Hua Xiangyun snorted coldly and stepped forward to stand next to Jiang Yi. "That's because he attacked first and was repelled by the protective amulet on your body."

I really don't know what this person was thinking. As cultivators, how could they not take some precautions to protect those around them?

The Hua brothers immediately covered their chests. It turned out that the jade pendant their sister had given them, though seemingly ordinary, was of great use. It seemed they would have to take even better care of it.

Shouheng witnessed this scene and felt a pang of heartache. It wasn't that he didn't know, but rather that he hadn't expected Hua Xiangyun to be so wealthy and powerful.

A protective charm of this caliber would be snapped up by everyone if it were released, and it seems that Comrade Hua Xiangyun even provided one for each member of her family.

However, this time he did strike first. Enduring the pain in his back, he stood up and apologized to Hua Xiangyun repeatedly, "I acted rashly just now, please forgive me."

Comrade Hua, I really have something urgent to ask of you, what do you think?

Hua Xiangyun asked the other party to look at him to know that what he said was true. Even if he had been a bit rash just now, he had learned his lesson. He still had to give face to his grandmaster Jinshan.

“Let’s go to the front to talk,” Hua Xiangyun said, pointing to the reception room in the front yard. After so many days, it was finally going to be put to good use.

Shouheng knew that even if he was anxious, he had to explain clearly, since he needed someone's help.

This courtyard is very familiar to Shouheng, after all, he took care of everything himself, and even the furniture here was personally selected and customized by him.

But he had no time to enjoy any of this. As soon as he arrived at the reception room, he said urgently, “Master, Minister Jin has been away with his men for more than half a month. Several senior brothers also have their own missions. But today, the Xuan Department was provoked and came to our door.”

That person did something to our Xuanbu gate; anyone who gets close to it falls into a deep sleep.

Several senior brothers with decent magical skills have also gotten caught up in this. If this continues, our Xuan Department will become a laughing stock.
