Chapter 551: Settlement
Amidst everyone's suppressed laughter, Tao Zi resolutely responded to the question and changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Where's Yu Niang? Why haven't I seen her?"
Liu Yue said: "There was news from the Flower Monk that someone from Yu Niang's family seemed to have been found, so Yu Niang rushed over."
Tao Zi asked, "How long ago? Has any news been sent back?"
"Just three days ago, Yu Niang should have just met with Hua Monk. I estimate that it will take ten days or half a month for any news to come back. The Desolate Land is too slow in receiving news."
Tao Zi relaxed a little, probably because her memory was still stuck in four years ago. She was somewhat worried about the situation on Yu Niang's side.
He then inquired about other people's news, and after confirming that they were all fine, his uneasiness finally subsided.
Cheng Wuchou said with a smile at this time: "A Zi, you should not make any move this month. Wait until the mecha is completed."
Tao Zi's smile suddenly became fake, but Cheng Wuchou ignored it and continued, "It just so happens that you haven't been to the mortal settlement here yet. Why don't you go and take a look during this time?"
She said, "A settlement? I went there a long time ago, and there were only about ten families living there loosely. Not many, so how can it be considered a settlement?"
Her brother patted the back of her head and said, "That's a settlement for outsiders, especially alien races, to see. In reality, there are very few real mortals there. The real mortal settlement is protected by the desolate mountains."
Tao Zi: "...I think I understand."
Liu Yue cheered up and said, "Big Sister, go and have fun without worry. Leave the important work to us."
Tao Zi looked over silently.
What's going on? A pink mecha?
Liu Yue stood there as if nothing had happened, but his eyes looked eager to try.
Tao Zi's mouth twitched slightly. Liu Yue has this side to him?
Xing Zhan coughed lightly and said, "Senior Sister, please be careful. If Zhao Xue and the others come over, I will tell them where I am."
When Tao Zi heard this, her expression softened and she said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Liu Yue said: "It's not hard!"
...I'm not talking to you.
Tao Zi complained in her heart, but because of her brother, she couldn't say anything.
Xing Zhan glanced at Liu Yue silently.
Liu Yue's ability to read people's expressions was very strong, very strong, so... who had led him astray? He even started watching the excitement of the senior sister.
While Xing Zhan was thinking, Li Xiu said with a smile, "Senior Sister Liu Yue, remember to design that bubble to look nice."
"Leave it to me, there will be absolutely no problem!"
Tao Zi said goodbye to Xing Zhan and others with a smile, and stepped on Li Xiu when leaving.
Li Xiu chased after him without changing his expression.
Liu Yue analyzed quietly, "Look, Senior Sister only stepped on me once, it wasn't serious, she must have agreed!"
Xing Zhan looked at her speechlessly and said, "How come you are even less reliable than Wu Yue now? I remember you weren't like this before."
Liu Yue shrugged and asked, "What was our situation like before? What is it like now?"
Xing Zhan was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
Liu Yue looked at her departing figure and said with emotion, "It's really good now. Even though the Tiandao Sect still exists, it's much better than before."
What could Tao Zi, who had good hearing, say at this point? She could only pretend she didn't hear anything, and couldn't even go back and ask Liu Yue if she had said that on purpose to avoid her coming to terms with her.
Are you kidding? Is she the kind of person who would settle scores later?
The reason why she took her time to settle the score was simply because she couldn't beat those people at that time and had to take her time.
Liu Yue really doesn't understand her.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "Azi, what are you thinking about?"
Tao Zi said calmly, "No, I wasn't thinking about anything. I just suddenly remembered something. Is Liu Yue's mecha ready?"
"It's done."
"I see."
Li Xiu said from behind: "But the back parts seem to be still in production."
Tao Zi said: "I have a suggestion."
Li Xiu immediately said, "Huh? What? I'll convey it."
"Liu Yue can't run fast, so why not add a pair of beautiful pink wings to the back of her mecha to make it easier for her to escape. Oh, and to show solidarity, why not add some eye-catching pink elements to Xing Zhan and the others' mechas as well?"
Li Xiu stumbled for a moment before saying, "Good idea. I'll send her a message later."
As for why he didn't turn around and go back to talk about it now, it was of course because he couldn't beat her, and Tao Zi was unwilling to go over and talk to her herself.
Alas, why did everything fall on him?
Li Xiu felt a little melancholy.
While everyone was thinking about their own things, Tao Zi came to the real settlement under the guidance of her brother.
Before taking out the pass, Tao Zi could only see clusters of dense thorns and uninhabited wasteland.
But when the pass is torn off, a blanket of white fog will appear and surround the visitor. Only when the fog dissipates can the real settlement be seen.
The settlement was more prosperous than she had expected. Even the spiritual energy was relatively thin, far better than the scarce spiritual energy outside.
The entire settlement is divided into three parts. The outer part is for monks and guards, and visitors need to pass the guards' review.
One side in the middle is residential, one side is for various vendors to do business, and there is also a blank area in the middle as a buffer.
A rough estimate of the number of houses shows that there are at least a thousand households, almost enough to be considered a small town.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "This place is quite prosperous, and the way to get in and out is different from what I expected."
Li Xiu said: "It's mainly to take care of mortals, so the way in and out tends to be simple. As for why there are so many people..."
Li Xiu paused and didn't continue speaking, but a strange voice sounded behind him: "Of course it's because the outside world is becoming increasingly unsustainable."
Tao Zi turned around suddenly and looked over vigilantly.
A strange yet familiar woman in a hat appeared in front of her. The woman looked nonchalant until Tao Zi turned her head. She was stunned when she saw Tao Zi and Li Xiu.
Cheng Wuchou patted Tao Zi's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. This is one of the guardians of the settlement. They all have special spiritual seals on them. It's normal that you can't sense their presence."
Tao Zi finally relaxed a little, but the woman suddenly asked, "Are you Yue Qiran? Are you the doctor?"
She wasn't surprised that this person recognized her face, but even Li Xiu recognized her...
Tao Zi asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
When the woman took off the hat on her head, Tao Zi realized that she was actually a monk.
The woman bowed and said, "I have the audacity to address Elder Yue as Auntie Yue. Auntie Yue probably won't recognize me. I am Shiqing, Liu Shiqing, and my mother's name is Liu Yuan."
Tao Zi was really surprised this time and glanced at Li Xiu.
Li Xiu shook her head slightly and whispered, "I don't come to the settlement very often, and this is the first time I've seen her."
Tao Zi once again turned her gaze to the woman who called herself Liu Shiqing.
