If it's impossible to remain calm and collected, then it's essential to gain the trust of the Wu family.
Trust is a major problem in itself, and people like the Wu family, who have secrets, will not easily trust others.
"It is a bit difficult."
Seeing Su Tiantian's worried expression, Blind Lin couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.
But he also knew that this wasn't just a little difficult, it was extremely difficult.
"No rush, we've only just arrived. Once we know this is the place, we can always resolve things."
Lin the Blind Man reached out and touched Su Tiantian's hair, comforting her not to be anxious.
Su Tiantian nodded and then said, "Master, I'm going out for a walk."
Blind Lin waved his hand: "Go on, go on."
Su Tiantian left the room. The Wu family's house was a three-story building, which was considered a very good house in this area.
I remembered what the driver said about his wife and children having terminal illnesses.
Su Tiantian really wanted to go upstairs to take a look, but she was stopped as soon as she stepped onto the stairs.
"Kid, you can't go upstairs."
Wu Wei could see the stairwell from the kitchen. When he saw Su Tiantian trying to go upstairs, he immediately stopped her.
The upstairs room had been specially treated by the father to slow down the illness of his wife and daughter, and he was afraid it would be damaged.
Su Tiantian stopped going upstairs when she heard the noise.
She went to the kitchen to help Wu Wei start a fire.
How old are you?
Seeing how obedient Su Tiantian was, Wu Wei's expression softened as he asked.
Obedient and well-behaved children are loved wherever they go.
"Uncle, I'm five years old."
Su Tiantian smiled slightly and said.
Wu Wei sighed, "He's only five years old."
It's so pitiful that she has to embark on such a lonely and difficult path at the age of five.
"Uncle Wu, why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes?"
Su Tiantian sensed it, so she asked directly.
Wu Wei was a little embarrassed: "Uncle isn't pitying you, he's just worried about you. You're still young and don't understand now, but you'll understand when you grow up."
She's such a sensitive girl, yet she's chosen this path. Who knows how much suffering she'll endure in the future? Fate is truly cruel.
Su Tiantian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
“I have a loving mentor, a caring mother, an uncle, and a caring brother. What don’t I understand?”
Su Tiantian found Wu Wei strange; why did he suddenly feel sorry for her? Did he even understand her?
Su Tiantian's obedience depends on the person she's dealing with; she can be very polite at times, but her expression can suddenly change.
Wu Wei was stunned after Su Tiantian said those words.
"How...how is this possible?"
Wu Wei was astonished, feeling utterly shocked.
In his understanding, it was impossible for anyone with a close family relationship to learn metaphysics.
"Why is it impossible?"
Su Tiantian looked at Wu Wei.
"Uh...you're still young, there are many things you don't understand. The noodles are ready, come and eat."
Wu Wei dared not look Su Tiantian in the eye, fearing that his clumsy lie would hurt the child's young heart, so he quickly changed the subject.
Su Tiantian sighed. Being a child is also very troublesome. No one believes what you say, and you are always treated like a child and coaxed.
Su Tiantian went to sit down and eat noodles, while Wu Wei went to call Lin the Blind.
When Blind Lin arrived, the master and apprentice ate noodles together quietly.
Wu Wei went upstairs.
Su Tiantian leaned against the table and fell asleep.
She followed Wu Wei into the room, her mind leaving her body. Wu Wei first went to check on his wife and daughter, and after confirming that they were both sleeping soundly, he went up to the third floor.
This really shocked Su Tiantian.
The old man lying on the bed had white hair, and his wrist was bleeding. The blood dripped into a round plate, and the plate gradually absorbed the blood.
His blood dripped very slowly.
Wu Wei knelt beside him, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "Dad, someone really has come, but they don't seem to have much strength. It's just an old man and a child. Dad, can we really hold out until the end?"
The old man on the bed was Wu Pinggui. He looked at Wu Wei and sighed, "We have no choice but to persevere. If that scoundrel really turns into a dragon, I don't know how many people will suffer in the future."
“It was originally not allowed to leave the province. If it succeeds in its attempt to claim the title this time, it will ruin the dragon veins all over the country. Our Wu family has guarded this vein for generations and has enjoyed its protection. Now that we are in danger, we should not back down.”
Even if my entire clan is wiped out, I will make sure that thing is trapped and killed forever within the province!
As Wu Pinggui spoke, anger flashed in his eyes. Even though he had been forced to this point, he had no intention of backing down. He was prepared to fight to the death.
"dad……"
Wu Wei sighed softly, unable to say anything more.
He knew that his father had made a decision.
"I'm so sorry to Qiuying and Lan'er. As their direct relatives, they can't leave."
Looking at his son's lowered head, Wu Pinggui felt a pang of pain in his heart.
If no powerful individual comes to slay the great demon, the Wu family will be doomed this time.
"Dad, they all understand."
Wu Wei looked up again, his eyes now calm and resolute.
"After tonight, and after the old man and the child leave tomorrow, let's hold a clan meeting. We should prepare for the worst."
Wu Pinggui spoke slowly.
After waiting for so long, they finally got an old man and a child. The Wu family can only hold on for half a month at most, and it's unlikely that there will be any major opportunities in that time.
So we need to prepare for the worst; those who can leave should leave.
"good."
Wu Wei nodded, stood up, and calmed himself down before going downstairs.
Su Tiantian didn't leave, but instead tried to shake Wu Pinggui's hand.
Wu Pinggui looked serious. He couldn't see Su Tiantian, but his whole being was resisting her.
Su Tiantian couldn't sense anything. Wu Pinggui's defenses were like an impenetrable wall. She wondered how many secrets he was hiding that required such a strong defense.
If Su Tiantian were to forcefully break through, Wu Pinggui might die.
She came to save people, not to kill them.
If Wu Pinggui were like those people from the Ancient Jade Sect, Su Tiantian wouldn't have so many concerns.
She used violence against Gu Yuzong, which she called "acting on behalf of Heaven," so she had no scruples.
Su Tiantian released Wu Pinggui's hand and simply blew a breath of spiritual energy at him.
Wu Pinggui looked somewhat bewildered, but remained tense and dared not relax.
Is this visitor friend or foe?
She grabbed his hand unreasonably, not knowing what she wanted to do, and then gave him a treat after letting go. He couldn't figure it out.
Knowing he suspected he was poisoned, but after a long time there were no signs of poisoning, Wu Pinggui actually slept soundly.
Su Tiantian went up to the second floor and gave Wu Wei's wife and daughter a breath of spiritual energy before returning to her body to wake up and continue eating noodles.
"Master, let's stay here for the night. There should be important news tonight."
Su Tiantian grasped Lin Xiazi's hand and conveyed what she had just seen to him.
Lin the Blind immediately understood, but he quickly frowned again: "Kid, you must keep your identity a secret."
The great demon of Tianmen Mountain is a snake. The Wu family guards this place and there is a dragon vein. That great demon even covets the dragon vein, let alone his dragon treasure disciple. Su Tiantian is not yet grown up. He knows best how fragile a human body is. It is too dangerous for Su Tiantian to face a great demon that is thousands of years old. Lin the Blind felt cold sweat breaking out.
