Using his divine sense, Qing Xuanzi quickly selected several high-quality stones from among those containing a trace of spiritual energy.
These rough stones have rough surfaces, but the insides are all top-quality jadeite.
As he selected the jade, he secretly admired the discerning eye of the Zhao family's uncle. These jade stones were not only of excellent quality, but many also contained very pure spiritual energy, making them very suitable for making talismans and amulets.
"Hmm, this should be enough." Qing Xuanzi put the selected jade into a spatial talisman and quickly ran back to release his little disciple from the immobilization.
The little guy was already very angry. With teary eyes, he avoided his master's outstretched hand and staggered into the warehouse.
Qing Xuanzi shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile indulgently: "You're so domineering. If Master doesn't take a few pieces first, what else can you leave for Master?"
At this moment, Rong Jiaojiao no longer cared about her master. She was dominated by the little secret realm and only felt very hungry. Then, wherever she passed, all the jade-bearing raw stones disappeared.
Seeing that there were still a few pieces of jade left on the ground, Qing Xuanzi stepped forward and smashed a large rock with his palm, revealing the low-quality jade inside.
Qing Xuanzi revealed an expression of "I knew it," and looked at Rong Jiaojiao, who was still running around collecting jade stones, and muttered to himself, "I knew it would be like this. Luckily, your master wasn't so soft-hearted as to not want you to cry even a little bit, otherwise you wouldn't even get to drink the soup."
He smiled, picked up Rong Jiaojiao, and took her around the warehouse, taking away all the jade inside.
After doing all this, Qing Xuanzi looked at Rong Jiaojiao, who was already half asleep in his arms, and couldn't help but shake his head.
The little one was clearly exhausted; the excitement and busyness along the way had taken a toll on her small body.
He also had another worry: he was concerned that she had acquired too much jade this time and might sleep for a long time. If Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya saw this, they might be worried.
Thinking this, he picked up Rong Jiaojiao and walked quickly outside.
Back in the backyard of the manor, Qing Xuanzi looked around and found that there was no difference between here and when he came.
The moss by the pond was still slippery, and fallen leaves were still floating gently on the water.
He closed the cover of the tunnel entrance, moved the stone back to its original position, and then began to clean up the traces at the entrance.
He took out a talisman from his pocket, gently affixed it to the stone where the entrance was hidden, and chanted an incantation.
As the incantation was chanted, the talisman emitted a faint light, and the runes on the stone surface began to flicker before returning to normal. The entrance was perfectly hidden, as if it had never been discovered.
He checked Rong Jiaojiao's body temperature; it hadn't changed. But he didn't delay and took Rong Jiaojiao back to town the way they came.
On the way, Rong Jiaojiao's body temperature gradually rose. Qing Xuanzi sighed, "It seems that Fu Ya will be disappointed. She is still waiting to dress Rong Jiaojiao in the new clothes she made."
Back in the small courtyard in town, Qing Xuanzi left a letter on the table, explaining his whereabouts to Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya. He told them that he had urgent business to attend to and had to leave in a hurry, but if he did not return by the end of the month, he would definitely come back for the New Year.
They were also given some grain, a lot of dried meat, and plenty of vegetables, which they could decide for themselves whether to eat them now or dry them.
After doing all this, Qing Xuanzi took Rong Jiaojiao back to the mountain.
In the evening, Fu Ya made new clothes for each of the children and called back her two sons who went to catch loaches after school.
Holding a set of new clothes for each person, he said, "Go take a shower and change now. We'll bring your sister some new clothes later."
The two brothers were delighted and said, "Mom, we caught a lot of loaches. We'll take them to cook for our sister later."
Fu Ya nodded: "Okay, go take a shower and change your clothes."
Fu Ya watched her two sons skipping and jumping off to prepare, a relieved smile on her face.
She folded the new clothes neatly, placed them on the table, and sat waiting for her two sons, anticipating how happy they would be to wear the new clothes she had made.
After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, the two brothers excitedly ran to Fu Ya to show them off.
"Mom, is it pretty?" Rong Zhiyuan opened his arms and turned around so that Fu Ya could see him clearly.
Looking at her lively youngest son and reserved eldest son, Fu Ya noticed that they immediately seemed much more energetic after putting on the new clothes she had made for them.
She raised both hands and gave them two thumbs up: "Great job, my two sons are both very smart and upright."
The two were delighted to hear this: "Mom, let's go and take the clothes to our little sister."
Fu Ya packed the new clothes into a cloth bag and rode her bicycle with her two children towards the town.
But to their surprise, the door was locked tight.
Fu Ya felt a pang of panic, quickly stopped her bicycle, took out her keys from her bag, and opened the door.
He rushed in and searched everywhere, but couldn't find Qing Xuanzi and his daughter. His bad feeling grew stronger and stronger.
Just then, the eldest son's voice came: "Mom, there's a letter on the stone table."
When Fu Ya heard her son's voice, she quickly ran over and saw a letter on the stone table, weighed down by a stone.
She picked up the letter, her hands trembling as she opened it. The contents of the letter made her heart sink.
The letter read:
Lian Hu, Xiao Fu:
I have urgent business to attend to and have taken Jiaojiao back to the mountain ahead of me. We won't be back until the end of this month, but we will definitely be back by the end of next month, so don't worry.
I've stocked up on plenty of food and vegetables at home, so you don't need to worry about the children going hungry. Don't worry!
Qingxuanzi stayed.
After reading the letter, Fu Ya sat there for a long time, looking dejected.
"Mom, what did the letter say? Are you alright?" Rong Zhigao asked nervously when he noticed Fu Ya's expression was off.
Fu Ya took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice calm: "I'm fine. It's just that your Uncle Qingxuan suddenly brought my sister back to the mountain, saying it was an emergency. My mother is fine, she was just caught off guard."
The two brothers noticed their mother's disappointment. Although they were also quite disappointed, they volunteered, "Mom, you're off today, we'll cook."
Fu Ya was speechless. Although she was disappointed, she didn't feel that way and needed her two children to comfort her.
However, she wouldn't refuse her children's good intentions, so she nodded and said in a light tone, "Okay, Mom is looking forward to seeing her two sons be filial today."
When Rong Zhigao and Rong Zhiyuan saw their mother smile, they smiled back and walked briskly into the kitchen.
On the mountain, Rong Jiaojiao's condition was just as Qing Xuanzi had guessed; she had indeed slept for many days this time.
Aside from feeding her formula and changing her diaper, Qing Xuanzi couldn't do anything else for her.
After the raw stones entered Rong Jiaojiao's secret realm, they instantly turned into powder. Rong Jiaojiao's secret realm also expanded little by little from the small tree in the middle, from one acre to about three acres.
