On the way back, Su Xue and the other two women were laughing in the car, laughing at the Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator for being so arrogant.
After laughing, Su Yu suddenly said, "Do you find it strange that there is a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator in our county?"
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately realized the same thing. Yes, there were no cultivation sects in this county, so why would there be cultivators out of nowhere?
Could it be that he, like himself, is a rogue cultivator, and this is his hometown?
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't understand this, and he stopped thinking about it. Whatever the reason, as long as it didn't provoke him, that was all that mattered.
For the next few days, Liu Xiaoyuan stayed at home with nothing to do, just waiting for the opening of the Crimson Purgatory to come quickly.
There was no other way; he only had six months. If he couldn't find the Medicine King's Cauldron within six months, his life would be in danger.
Therefore, we must find this Medicine King Cauldron within six months!
Now, Liu Xiaoyuan can't find any clues about the Medicine King Cauldron, so he can only place his hopes on the Crimson Purgatory, hoping that the Medicine King Cauldron is inside.
That day, Liu Xiaoyuan was resting at home when Lu Siyao called, asking him to help her find a house.
Liu Xiaoyuan found it strange that Lu Siyao was living comfortably at home, so why would she need to find a place to live outside?
When asked why, it turned out that Lu Siyao wasn't looking for a place to live herself, but rather for Zhang Qian.
When Liu Xiaoyuan arrived in town, he met Lu Siyao and Zhang Qian. Lu Siyao had to go to work, so she asked Liu Xiaoyuan to accompany Zhang Qian to look for a house.
Houses in town are not easy to find because the town is not a place with many factories, so there are not many houses for rent.
I asked at several places, but they were all rented out. Fortunately, I finally found one. The landlord was very nice, and the apartment was a two-bedroom, one-living room unit that was quite spacious.
"Gentlemen, this house is very nice. You two can have one room, the child can sleep in another, and the living room can be used for watching TV and eating. Look at my living room, it's very big." The landlord introduced his house, casually assuming that Zhang Qian and Liu Xiaoyuan were a couple.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian didn't explain. The more you explain, the more people will misunderstand. If you say you're not husband and wife, people will assume you're in that kind of relationship.
So it's better not to explain. Let you misunderstand if you want.
The house has been rented, and next Zhang Qian needs to move her things in and buy some daily necessities.
Liu Xiaoyuan was bored at home anyway, and besides, this was a task assigned to him by Lu Siyao, so he started helping Zhang Qian with her luggage.
When they arrived at Zhang Qian's house, Zhang Qian's sister-in-law was being sarcastic and her words were unpleasant.
Zhang Qian's parents didn't say anything, as if a married daughter was like water spilled from a cup, which made Liu Xiaoyuan feel that Zhang Qian's parents had gone a bit too far.
In Zhang Qian's parents' eyes, their daughter married into such a good family as the Lu family, but then divorced someone else. They felt that she was completely ungrateful for her good fortune.
Moreover, in their minds, divorce is a shameful thing that makes them unable to hold their heads high in the community.
Zhang Qian was naturally heartbroken by her family's attitude, but she remained strong, neither speaking out nor crying, keeping everything to herself.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know how to persuade Zhang Qian that it was best not to talk about such things.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan accompanied Zhang Qian to buy some daily necessities and tidy up the house. Just as they finished tidying up, Zhang Qian slapped her thigh and said that she had to go pick up Jiajia from school.
Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't seen Jiajia for a long time, so he said he would drive over to pick her up.
When we arrived at Jiajia's school gate, we waited for a while and then saw Jiajia walking out of the school all alone. She didn't talk to her classmates and looked unhappy.
"Jiajia!" Zhang Qian called out immediately. Jiajia looked up at Zhang Qian, called out "Mom," and then ran over quickly.
"Big brother." Jiajia seemed to only notice Liu Xiaoyuan's presence when she ran up to him and called out "Big brother."
"Big brother, why did you come to pick me up from school with Mom today?" Jiajia asked happily.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Big brother hasn't seen big brother for a long time, so he wanted to see Jiajia."
"Big brother, will you come with Mom to pick up Jiajia every day from now on? That way you can see Jiajia every day." Jiajia looked up at Liu Xiaoyuan with anticipation, hoping to get his nod of agreement.
But Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't agree to that. Not only did he not have time, but even if he did, he couldn't possibly come with Zhang Qian to pick up Jiajia every day, because that was his responsibility as a father.
Zhang Qian immediately said, "Jiajia, don't be silly, your big brother is very busy every day."
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately continued, "Jiajia, sometimes your big brother has to go out, and he might be gone for several days or even a month. So, your big brother can't pick you up every day, but he promises you that he will come to pick you up whenever he has time!"
Jiajia wasn't the kind of child who would throw a tantrum, so when she heard Liu Xiaoyuan's words, she immediately nodded.
On the way back, Jiajia wasn't as talkative as before, probably because she knew about her mother and father's divorce.
Although Jiajia was young, she knew some things.
After arriving home, Zhang Qian started cooking and invited Liu Xiaoyuan to stay for a meal.
Liu Xiaoyuan agreed, since he would eat at home anyway, and he would eat here as well, so it was all the same.
Zhang Qian cooked three home-style dishes, all of which were delicious and visually appealing. Zhang Qian is truly a woman who can grace a formal occasion and is equally adept in the kitchen.
"Sister Qian, your cooking skills are really good, this dish is delicious," Liu Xiaoyuan praised.
Zhang Qian smiled charmingly at the compliment and said, "Eat more if you like it."
Jiajia suddenly said, "Big brother, since you like Mom's cooking so much, why don't you stay at my house? That way you can eat Mom's cooking every day."
Children speak without restraint; sometimes they just blurt out whatever comes to mind.
However, Liu Xiaoyuan and Zhang Qian, as adults, did not think so. Upon hearing this, they involuntarily raised their heads and glanced at each other. When Zhang Qian's eyes met Liu Xiaoyuan's, she seemed to be electrocuted and immediately lowered her head, her face flushed.
Upon seeing Zhang Qian's alluring appearance, Liu Xiaoyuan shamefully became aroused.
For some reason, Liu Xiaoyuan had a slightly impure thought when he saw Zhang Qian. Perhaps it was the mature woman's charm that Zhang Qian possessed, something that a naive young girl couldn't give her.
