72 Yunbian Primary School, Dream

"You're too kind, everyone. We'll be troubling you again in the future," Yun Su and the other women replied politely. After everyone introduced themselves, Elder Weng and the others took their leave.

Yun Su asked softly, "Where is Wen'er going?" Thinking of the cute little girl, she smiled knowingly.

Wei Lan explained, "Wen'er went to school, and we have to thank Brother Shen for that. Not only Wen'er, but all the eligible children in this nearby market, regardless of gender, can go to school for free! Everyone is very grateful to Brother Shen!"

When Yun Su heard this, she didn't pay much attention at first. It was common for girls to go to school or for their families to hire tutors in the capital. Most families with a little money would do this.

Previously, there weren't many girls in this loess county, and it was rare to see them attending school. Then I heard that in this market, both boys and girls could go to school.

She was immediately filled with excitement. "Brother, is it really true? I've always wondered why girls can't study hard and pass the imperial examinations?"

He Chen also glanced at Su'er with some surprise.

She thought to herself, "Su'er's ideas are indeed different; she's no ordinary woman."

Then I heard, "But girls do attend school in the capital, though they absolutely cannot take the exams to acquire special skills. It infuriates me! A whole bunch of people are trying to stop them!"

"Haha, Su'er, don't be angry. When I go to the capital one day, I'll help you get revenge and have them call you 'Official Yun Su,' how about that!"

"Brother, are you making fun of me?" Then she pounced on him, baring her teeth and claws. She instantly fell into his arms!

After playing around for a while, the group washed up and then showed the girls around the area so that Yun Su could get a better understanding of the place.

Yun Su's three guards had already arrived. After Yun Su went out, the three of them silently followed behind her.

Yunsu, Fanghua, Biyunyan, Jiehuayu, and Sister Lan—Sister Lan rarely goes out, only venturing out when there's something important to do. Today, with an adult by her side, she was taken out for a stroll, and she was especially happy.

Along the streets, vendors sell all sorts of mountain goods, furs, medicinal herbs, and some unusual plants, as well as beautiful flowers.

The girls were overwhelmed by the sights. Yun Su sampled some snacks while wandering around. A thousand miles to the north lay mountains and desert! Sparsely populated, only within a hundred miles of Huangtu County were there any inhabitants, though most were concentrated within a few dozen kilometers of the county seat. Further north, the fewer people there were, the more likely it was to become the territory of wild animals.

Moreover, the area was protected by natural barriers such as deserts, quicksand, swamps, and poisonous vegetation. This was one of the reasons why the army did not continue northward.

Moreover, further north lies the territory of demonic beasts and other demonic races—a truly wondrous sight! Some areas are lush and green, while others are covered in ice and snow. It is said that within this realm lies an immense world, several times larger than the Holy Dynasty itself.

There are many monsters inside, all kinds of monsters, some that can fly, some that can run. There are rabbit spirits, fox spirits, and female ghosts, etc.

Rumor has it that some people specifically hunt down transformed demonic beasts, exceptionally beautiful, and certain powerful figures or wealthy tycoons have a particular fondness for them. A prosperous era has arrived, but chaos reigns!

"Brother, try this tofu. It smells awful. I hope it will give you bad breath!" Yun Su tried a bite herself and then recommended it to him.

"Okay, ten more skewers, please!" After finishing the meal and feeling satisfied, Jinluo brought over the ten wrapped skewers. Seeing the adults going out, Jinluo followed along, ready to lend a hand at any time.

The group strolled around casually, with Yun Su occasionally stopping to gaze into the distance, and no one disturbed her.

"Come and have a taste!" He Chen casually bought some snacks, natural chestnuts, and fruits. Then he gave them to Fanghua, Yunyan, Sister Lan, Huayu, and others to try! Everyone's eyes narrowed with joy.

There are too many people, so we can't get too close!

Sister Hong was talking to a middle-aged man. This man was burly, with an iron-like body and piercing eyes. He wore a suit of leather armor made of wild animals, although the colors were a bit strange, including leopard skin, wild boar skin, and tiger skin! He wore ordinary cloth shoes!

However, this did not diminish his imposing stature in the slightest. A smoky toy and a water bottle at his waist suggested he was a seasoned hunter.

He wielded a four-foot-long sword, about a finger's width thick, made of ordinary material, but heavy, though the blade wasn't very sharp! It had the feel of a greatsword without a sharp edge. His body radiated vitality, as if a dragon were soaring and a tiger roaring! A fifth-tier expert!

As Sister Hong looked at the women not far away and spoke, I only glanced at them before not daring to look any longer. Among them, one woman was so light-footed that she seemed to float on the wind, and upon closer inspection, her feet barely touched the ground.

The three who followed were even more reserved, and their exact strength was unknown. However, swords, spears, and shields were standard military weapons.

Moreover, he also knew about the young man around Wei Lan that Sister Hong mentioned. Jin Luo was a market security officer, and his strength had only just entered the first level, so he was naturally not worth mentioning.

However, the market lord here is incredibly powerful. His ability to slay bandits and ghouls is well-known. Now, it seems he's completely concealing his aura, making it impossible to discern his strength. To have won the heart of such a beautiful woman, his power must be extraordinary.

"Sister Hong, Lan is doing much better now, so we're relieved."

Then, looking at Wei Lan and her group whom he had just spotted in the distance, he said with a hint of envy, "Yesterday, Lan suggested we move here so we could help each other out if anything happens. It seems that's really true!"

"Sister Hong is right. We're relieved that Wei Lan is doing well. I've been asking around these past few days. The daily trading volume at this market is astonishing; villagers from all around come here."

I also saw some villagers living deep in the mountains. Many of them had heard the news and were observing the situation. Moreover, the price of medicinal herbs has really risen sharply. It's so high that I'm almost afraid to sell. I'm afraid I'll lose money if I do! 'He joked later.'

"Yes, I've heard that Wei Lan's husband is also collecting them in large quantities. That's why the price has skyrocketed!"

'Let's try not to bother Wei Lan too much. It wouldn't be good for her to be alone.'

Sister Hong nodded in agreement.

They strolled around the market together with the women. As noon approached, they returned to have a meal.

"Why didn't Wen'er come home for lunch?" Fanghua asked, noticing that Wen'er hadn't come home from school by noon.

"At Chen Ge'er's school, lunch is provided every day, and a large steamed bun is delivered in the evening," Sister Lan explained.

"Brother, you're so kind. Now many families will send their children to study there," Yun Su said, clinging close to him. After finishing their meal, they rested for a while at noon. Yun Su went to sort out her thoughts from the morning.

He Chen took a nap. Suddenly, the door opened softly. Two pairs of green silk halter dresses, each a foot above the knee!

The midday sun was restless, and things got noisy. An hour later, everything was quiet! I gently pulled the covers over myself. Looking at her pretty face, glowing with happiness, I realized she was sleeping soundly.

He left quietly! Upon entering the courtyard, he began practicing with his gentleman's blade, unleashing a hundred slashes with each strike. Instantly, blade light erupted, engulfing the person in its path. Then, the light dissipated!

I feel so refreshed and invigorated! Life is about cultivation!
