"I see. But everyone here is dressed the same, so it won't help even if they stare."
The stall owner turned his head slightly to glance at the person in the dark and then quickly turned his gaze back.
"I'm telling you not to tell anyone."
"Boss, please speak."
Yun Dandan picked up things from the stall, pretending to buy more and continued chatting.
"The person selling things at my stall before was a cultivator selling elixirs. Apparently, there was something wrong with the elixirs, so they came to arrest him. When I first came here, they threatened me. But after they found out I wasn't that person, they started to stake out my position and conduct secret investigations every day."
"Oh my god, he's selling fake pills?"
"It should be about the same, but the money and goods are settled. Once the other party buys something, it has nothing to do with us. No returns or exchanges. I think the pill must have caused a problem, and it's very serious. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been watching for a year and not left."
"Oh my god, you've been setting up your stall here for a year?"
"That's right. I usually make a living by making these rare magical instruments. Besides, they've seen my true appearance and won't let me run away, eh."
"That's unjust. I'm really putting you in a difficult position, brother."
"Who says it isn't? But they probably won't keep watching for too long. It's been almost two years. That person will definitely not come back."
"Of course, I'm not a fool. Why would I come back here if I knew there was something wrong with my pills?"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. Brother, take a look and see if there's anything you like. I can sell you one at a low price."
"Then let's take this one. It will turn if you see it."
"Well, I tell it to spin. If I put a small spirit stone in it, it will spin for a long time."
"Very good. I'll buy it. How many spirit stones?"
"One hundred yuan. I told you it was cheap, so I won't charge more."
"Okay, brother, please be careful."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After he left, someone came over from the dark and asked him, "What did you talk about?"
"Oh, he's a weapon refiner, and he wants to know why I'm refining this useless little thing."
"Nothing else?"
"No, I looked at it for a long time and then picked out two or three and left. I didn't expect so many people would buy this."
"I didn't ask you that. Remember to give us a heads-up if there are any suspicious people. Do you understand?"
The stall owner nodded quickly, "I heard it, I heard it."
…
Ziyun Peak.
Yun Dandan looked at Jiji who was jumping up and down in the cave and said, "Be careful, or you might get crushed."
"Hey, I'm a spirit. Besides, I'm happy!"
"Director, you've been working on this for so many years, day and night, and finally achieved results. I can only imagine those two old bald men must be feeling bad right now."
"Who knows? Now that the secret realm is connected to the upper realm, there might be some miracle. But Master is well now. When he goes up, Master will probably slap him to death with one slap."
"That's right, so when are we going to visit the upper realm?"
"I'll go when the time comes. Before that, I want to visit the Imperial City."
"Okay."
…
The back garden of Yunhou Mansion.
An old man was lying on a throne, looking at the boys and girls waving wooden swords and picking flowers, his face full of smiles.
"That's great. What a pity! If I hadn't been so focused on the court, I wouldn't have let that child be driven out by your mother."
"Dad, that's Mom's fault. My eldest sister is such a good girl, but she and my younger sister almost killed her. I heard a few years ago that she won first place in the Qi Refining Competition. She must have reached the Core Formation stage by now."
"It's also Dad's fault. If I hadn't been unable to get back in time, the child wouldn't have suffered this injustice. I feel so guilty. She grew up by my side, so how could I not know if she would hurt others? It's all because of your mother's short-sightedness. She really doesn't know who is closer. Even if her own daughter came back, she couldn't let Dan'er be homeless. Wouldn't it be good to have two daughters? There would be more people to take care of her."
"Yes, but you have already sent my mother back to my grandparents' home. You didn't even go to see her before she died. Just let it go."
"Humph! That's what she deserves. She had to bring trouble to a good child. I've raised her for more than ten years, so I should have some feelings for her. But she did things without any emotion at all. I get angry just mentioning her."
The middle-aged man shook his head. "You're still asking for trouble. I wonder if Dan'er still remembers her big brother and father. But even if she does, I'd be embarrassed to see her."
"Yeah, just let her venture out there, as long as she's safe."
"Yes, my second sister came back to find us, but her heart was not with our family. She only came back once or twice. It felt the same to me whether she recognized us or not. I don't like her that much. I still like my sister Dan'er."
"Speak less, she is your sister after all."
The woman next to him patted his hand gently and said, "Even if she hasn't been back in these years, you can't say anything, lest someone has ears and give her something to talk about."
"Huh, if it weren't for her, would Sister Dan'er have stayed away from home for so many years? I almost forgot what she looks like."
"Husband, even though she hasn't come back, she still sends us good things every one or two years. Otherwise, how could Dad be so strong now? We all benefit from her kindness."
At this point, the old man's face was full of relief: "This girl, I said she was a good child, it was all your mother's stupidity that caused this. And your second sister, this is your biological sister, still had bad ideas and harmed the whole family. She really doesn't know how to feel her conscience, she is so wicked."
"Dad, please don't be angry. Why bring this up? You, my husband, don't even know how to talk about things that would make Dad happy."
The middle-aged man sighed: "I just miss my little sister. She was the closest to me when we were little."
"Yes, yes, but my little sister is a cultivator now. She will transcend tribulations and ascend to become an immortal in the future. If she has too many worldly affairs, how can she continue to cultivate?"
"I, I just miss her. I only see things but not people. I feel so upset. It's also my fault that I wasn't home that year. When I came back, my little sister was gone. I'm just a mortal and can't use the teleportation array to get there. I'm so anxious."
In the dark, Yun Dandan squatted down, looked at the people in the yard and sighed softly.
"Little fox, help me create an illusion. Remember to be gentle. I don't want to meet them in reality and make them too sad. They are the only ones in this family who treat me well."
"Master, don't worry. You can just go over there later."
"Why."
After a while, the people in the yard unconsciously looked towards the garden entrance. A man walked in from there. He looked the same as before he participated in the sect test.
"Little, little sister!" The middle-aged man was extremely surprised and walked over quickly to pull the person over.
The old man also opened his eyes wide and quickly stood up from the recliner, "Child, child, you... you are back?"
"Yeah, long time no see."
