"Strange thing?" The two frowned and thought for a long time, and the shopkeeper finally said with certainty:

"Three months ago, the Lotus Palace, one of the ten palaces of the Xianyuan Sect, came out of retreat. It happened that the Ganlu Spring on Lingquan Mountain gushed out again after drying up for years. This is a very auspicious sign! Years ago, a wandering sorcerer passed by and said that the water of Ganlu Spring was spiritual, so Lingquan Mountain got its name from this."

"After that, the spring dried up, and people started to say that it was the work of corrupt officials and the gods were sending warnings. Now that the Ganlu Spring is flowing again, everyone is very happy."

"The ten palaces of the Xianyuan Sect all have great magical powers, and the Lotus Palace is the kindest. She immediately set up a clinic beside the Ganlu Spring to treat patients for free. Many people's difficult and complicated diseases were cured by her. Some people with milder diseases were even cured by drinking a few sips of Ganlu Spring water according to her instructions."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his palms and continued:

"The Lotus Palace was closed three days after the case was set up, leaving a message saying that the water of the Ganlu Spring had miraculous effects and drinking it regularly could prolong one's life. The people thereafter scrambled to get the Ganlu Spring to drink. Unfortunately, there were too many people in the county town, and each family could only get one bucket of water a day."

"Fortunately, we don't have many people, so we can drink several bowls of water every day. Those who have more people can only drink a few sips every day." The shop owner said he was proud of this.

Sheng Nanxi was confused. She finally understood why the symptoms in this store were more serious than those in other stores.

She glanced at Gu Yuancheng, and the young boy immediately understood and asked, "Do you have any spring water left from the spring you fetched today?"

"No! The Lotus Palace said that spring water will lose its spirituality if left for too long, and the water must be drunk as soon as possible. Hehe... Among the ten palaces, the Lotus Palace is the most considerate." The inn thought of the gentle Lotus Palace and laughed with wrinkles on his face.

Sheng Nanxi thought to herself that she was indeed very thoughtful. In order to make you become puppets sooner, she made sure all the details were in place...

The inn laughed for a while before realizing that the little boy in front of him had a strange expression on his face. He frowned.

"You...you mean, we were trapped by the magic because we drank that spring water? That's possible. The people in the Xianyuan Sect are all compassionate and enlightened immortals. How could they harm us?"

Gu Yuancheng pointed to the mess on the street in the distance and repeated his previous words calmly:

"Since you are an immortal, how can you be easily defeated by me?"

The Xianyuan sect members had just run away in such a hurry that they didn't even take the gorgeous shoulder bags of the Plum Blossom Palace with them. Torn clothes and blood were everywhere, and one could vaguely see some bright objects that were held back and spilled after the croton was administered.

“So… so you are fairies with higher magic power than them?” The shopkeeper had a strange train of thought, and when he looked at the two extraordinary little kids, he couldn't help but look in admiration.

"What are you thinking about?!" The waiter finally reacted. He tapped the kid on the head, then knelt down in front of the two kids.

"It's the little prince! It's the little prince who saved us!"

Although child prodigies are common in this era, legends about them pop up from time to time. The innkeeper just thought that Gu Yuancheng was the rare child prodigy and didn't think much about it.

He was able to make a snack shop famous far and wide, which must be due to his cleverness.

He immediately realized that all the people in Jinchuan County were probably involved in a shocking conspiracy. And people like him didn't even consider the chess pieces in the opponent's hand, which were just straw that could be easily broken.

After thinking clearly about the whole story, the shopkeeper took the little boy and kowtowed to the two of them.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord. I am a humble man, and I will be at your disposal from now on. But my wife and children at home are in similar condition. I wonder if you can help them?"

Gu Yuancheng was peeling apples for Xiao Xier with a knife, and he didn't have time to help them up. He just raised his hand to let them get up. As Xiao Xier had instructed, he picked up a small medicine bottle with his clean fingers and placed it in front of the two children.

"This is a common detoxification drug. It can temporarily relieve the symptoms but it cannot completely cure them. We have to go to Lingquan Mountain for a detailed inspection before we can develop a medicine for the symptoms. Saving you is just a piece of cake. You two must be grateful."

"It's early, please have them bring up the food we ordered."

"Okay, okay! I will remember your kindness, great doctor. If I can be of any use to you in the future, I will do my utmost to help you."

The attitude of the store owner changed drastically, and he quickly asked them to bring all the food they had ordered, and enthusiastically added several special snacks that the store was good at.

Seeing that the "little doctor" was very concerned about the little girl next to him, he even took out the child's chair for Sheng Nanxi to sit in. Now Sheng Nanxi could sit at the dining table without sitting on him.

The noise they made earlier was too loud. Sheng Yichen and Sheng Tiance went back to report to everyone that they were safe. Mother, grandmother, and others were relieved and rushed over to check. Seeing that the children were fine, they followed them to eat.

The innkeeper suddenly thought of something, and quietly stepped in front of the Sheng family, and said hesitantly:

"You all seem to be very capable. But... the Xianyuan Sect is very evil. When it first emerged, many people believed that they had magical powers and deliberately provoked the Xianyuan Sect. As a result, all of them were exterminated that night without exception."

"I heard from the people nearby that there was a roaring wind and thunder that night, and even the ground nearby was shaking. When we woke up the next day, we found that the houses and yards around us were all scorched earth! Oh! When I was a child, my grandma took me to see the lively scene, and the good house was really turned into black ash by lightning overnight! It was very permeable!"

"Several great heroes have embarrassed the Xianyuan Sect in public. I'm afraid this matter will not end well. Let's run away now!"

The innkeeper still felt a little scared when he recalled the scene he saw many years ago. He was really worried about the safety of the Sheng family and their group.

"Regardless of climate change, will anyone who offends the Xianyuan Sect be struck by lightning that night?" Gu Yuancheng immediately grasped the key point and asked the store owner.

"But it is true! No matter when, if anyone provokes the Xianyuan Sect, the whole family will be struck by lightning that night! This is why everyone believed that the Xianyuan Sect had magical powers in the early years. How can ordinary people attract lightning to strike them for no reason?!"

After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but frown.

Of course, the Sheng family knew that the Xianyuan followers were playing tricks, but the fact that they could create thunder and kill them at any time was beyond everyone's cognition.

After the store owner reminded them, he was busy greeting the customers. Li Zhenyi patiently tore the glutinous rice cake into small pieces for Xiao Xier, and asked worriedly:

"This area was originally the territory of the Xianyuan Cult. They have offended our family so badly, I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight. Why don't we disguise ourselves as King Ning and escape from the city before they come?"

"Just enjoy your meal! Our children are all outstanding and there is no need for you to worry about them."

Sheng Jinghai sat there casually, mixing ramen for his mother and blowing soup for his daughter. He looked like nothing happened.

Sheng Nanxi was too lazy to care about her father who had been messing around since he woke up, and thought:

"You can't run away. The Xianyuan sect is used to making some fancy things. They look powerful but have no killing power. It's a big project to drug tens of thousands of people at once. They have been operating in several nearby counties for many years, so they must have big plans."

"I joined the army to protect my family. As a daughter of the Sheng family, I should take it as my responsibility to protect the safety of my family. There is no reason for me to stop caring!"

Of course, if she had been a troublemaker for the Xianyuan Sect, she would have accumulated a lot of money. She was just thinking of using all of it to enrich her own coffers!

Sister Xi has always been kind and would never take money just because it was tainted by a charlatan!

The little girl's mind was clattering, but her words were so passionate that Li Zhenyi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"Well, my Xier has always been successful. Since you have made up your mind, I will listen to you."

"Of course! Look whose daughter this is!"

The majestic god of war was still showing off. He excitedly put the tenderest pieces of mutton into Nancy's small bowl.

If the soldiers in the barracks saw that he had such a friendly side, they would probably all be shocked.

After discussing the business quietly, everyone started to eat the food on the table. There is a reason why this restaurant is so popular in Jinchuan County.

The aroma of snacks on the table was so delicious that it made my mouth water. The meat in the meat buns was just the right amount of fat and lean, and was stewed until it was soft and juicy, while the buns on the outside were fragrant and crispy. One bite and your mouth was filled with fragrance.

Of course, Nancy could only take a few bites of this indigestible food, and her lunch was a small bowl of mutton soup in front of her, which her mother had specially ordered to be cooked softer than others.

After eating the steamed buns, Gu Yuancheng cut them into pieces and sprinkled some honey on them. It was a very rich meal.

The previous noise startled everyone around. Most of them fell for the Xianyuan Sect's magic and did not doubt its authenticity, but their anger towards the Sheng family's eldest branch was real.

No one dared to approach them, but from a distance they looked kind. Many even knew that this family was about to suffer a natural disaster, so they all avoided them.

The Sheng family knew that they had offended the Xianyuan Sect today, so they should not show off too much in their territory.

Seeing that some vendors nearby looked quite friendly, she bought some beautifully crafted candies from an old lady. After satisfying the little girl's desire to go shopping, she hurried back to the inn.

At this time, in a private room of a tall restaurant opposite the Ping'an Inn where the Sheng family's main branch rested, Shopkeeper Zhou was looking at the overcast sky outside and feeling worried.

"Alas! These young fools are so ignorant that they don't even know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! They dare not even offend the Xianyuan Sect! If the heavenly punishment is sent down tonight and our Ruyi Tower is implicated, what should we do?!"

But at this moment, the temperature in the house dropped suddenly, and the curtains moved automatically without wind.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen black shadows suddenly appeared in front of him!

"Are you Shopkeeper Zhou? The secret emissaries are out, and the gods and Buddhas are retreating. Your restaurant is under our command tonight."
