"Master, hurry up! Ask quickly, where did this woman come from? Are there many people like her?" Xiaoyu was so excited when she saw Wu Xiuyun that her voice trembled.
Monks! It's been over six years since Xiaoyu woke up, and she's only seen two goblins: Hu Sanniang and the Black Bear Monster. Counting the few little goblins in the Black Bear Monster's household, the number of goblins is pitifully small. Not to mention monks, she's only seen this Wu Xiuyun right in front of her. Compared to the Lingxiao Realm where Xiaoyu used to stay, where monks filled the sky and goblins roamed the mountains, the difference is a million miles. After visiting the Black Bear Monster's Jiyun Mountain, Xiaoyu had a bold guess that she never dared to speak out. Now that she's seen Wu Xiuyun, she definitely wants to know. What's wrong with the monks in this world? Why can't I see any trace of them in the mortal world?
"Xiaoyu, don't worry, I'll try to get her to say something later." Zhou Yuanyuan comforted Xiaoyu.
Wu Xiuyun in front of him looked a little naive. General Zhou was already drinking tea. Usually, a sensible person would have changed the subject or just said goodbye and left. But she was different. Sometimes she was worried, sometimes she chuckled, and sometimes she looked at General Zhou's teacup, like a big silly girl.
"Little sister is also very beautiful!" Wu Xiuyun couldn't help but smile happily when she heard Zhou Yuanyuan praising her beauty. In Yushan Sect, all the brothers and sisters were busy practicing, so where would they have time to visit each other and chat? Seeing the soft and adorable little sister Zhou Yuanyuan, whose little mouth was as sweet as honey, Wu Xiuli's heart was really happy.
"Come, sister, I have some sweet osmanthus cake here, please have some." Zhou Yuanyuan put the food box in her hand on the table. Zhou Yuanyuan's osmanthus cake was packed in an insulated box. As soon as the lid was opened, the fragrant and sweet smell overflowed.
"Sister? Master, you called her the wrong name. This is Wen Ziqing's stepmother's sister, who is several decades older than you!" Xiaoyu felt that her brain was not enough. Why did she feel that the master's "sister" contained too many calculations?
"Xiaoyu, shut up. From now on, don't bother me. Listen carefully to what she says and remember the useful information." Zhou Yuanyuan was furious. Can't you call someone in their forties "sister"? She herself is already in her forties in her two lifetimes. Wouldn't it be awkward to call Wu Xiuyun "sister"? Besides, wasn't she trying to build a good relationship with Wu Xiuyun? Calling someone "Auntie"? It would be strange if she didn't offend people.
While Zhou Yuanyuan was lecturing Xiaoyu in her sea of consciousness, Wu Xiuyun's face was filled with a broad smile. The sweet, fragrant osmanthus cake truly piqued Wu Xiuyun's desire to try a bite. Wu Xiuyun was only a Qi training cultivator, and even back in the Yushan Sect, she had to eat every day. The osmanthus cake smelled incredibly fragrant, something Wu Xiuyun had never tasted before in the Yushan Sect.
"Little sister, you are so nice." Wu Xiuyun felt that Zhou Yuanyuan was the best person to her, even her family members could not compare to her. She had just met Zhou Yuanyuan and she was invited to eat! After her family members knew that she followed the Taoist priest to "cultivate immortals", they all knew how to ask her for things. Wu Xiuli originally had a few soul-enhancing pills on her body, but they were all taken away by her family members.
"I don't know if it suits your taste, please try it." Zhou Yuanyuan considerately took a pair of chopsticks for Wu Xiuyun.
Of course! Zhou Yuanyuan would not miss her great-grandfather, General Zhou. Didn’t you see how General Zhou’s throat had been coughing several times after Zhou Yuanyuan took out the thermos box?
There was no way, General Zhou just liked the sweet and fragrant taste of osmanthus cake. As soon as he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't suppress the gluttony in his stomach.
Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't missed out on her share, General Zhou was also satisfied. Hmm! A good great-granddaughter is always so kind, always thinking of bringing back anything delicious for her. Oh, by the way, I haven't seen that little Jiasheng in a while. Everyone's been hiding what's going on at home from him. I wonder how he'll get mad when he finds out! Forget it, forget it. It's better for him to talk to Jiasheng first, so that the little guy won't blame me later.
After General Zhou made up his mind, he finished his osmanthus cake and immediately rushed Zhou Xi into the study.
Over the years, Zhou Yuanyuan knew General Zhou's temperament, and General Zhou knew Zhou Yuanyuan's as well. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan had been constantly trying to get Wu Xiuyun to talk since she entered the room, General Zhou knew exactly what the little girl was up to. Anyway, Zhou Yuanyuan was a clever little girl who never suffered any loss, so General Zhou quickly made room for the little girl to have some fun. Ideally, the little girl could convince that stubborn Wu Xiuyun not to take Zhou Xi away.
Under Zhou Yuanyuan's deliberate attempts to trick her, Wu Xiuyun rambled on about the Yushan Sect and the other cultivation sects' retreat to secret realms. After all, the sect leader hadn't told her otherwise when she left the mountain. Besides, their secret realm was enclosed by a barrier, and without the jade talisman that unlocked it, even Wu Xiuyun couldn't enter. Zhou Yuanyuan was just an ordinary girl; what good would she do if she knew?
The more Wu Xiuyun talked, the more Zhou Yuanyuan found it strange. This world wasn't devoid of spiritual energy, so why would those cultivators abandon their sects' millennia-old heritage and travel to some secret realm? Furthermore, after entering the secret realm, these sects weren't completely sealed off; they still maintained contact with the outside world. Otherwise, Wu Xiuyun wouldn't have left the secret realm to find her family.
However, the best thing about Zhou Yuanyuan is that she doesn't get stuck in a rut. If she can't figure something out, she usually puts it aside and thinks about it slowly after some time.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wu Xiuli ate a few pieces of osmanthus cake together and chatted for more than an hour. After that, Wu Xiuyun thought she had become familiar with Zhou Yuanyuan, so she hesitantly told Zhou Yuanyuan about taking a thousand yuan from Zhou Xi. She also asked Zhou Yuanyuan to help her plead with General Zhou to use the Soul-Enriching Pill to offset Zhou Xi's money. As for bringing Zhou Xi back to the sect, Wu Xiuyun would not give up.
Zhou Yuanyuan finally understood why they had been sitting there like wooden cloaks in the living room. It must have been because they were not on speaking terms. General Zhou was already chagrined at not being able to keep Zhou Xi, and Wu Xiuyun wasn't very good at reading people's expressions, which was why things were so awkward.
Soul-enriching Pills? These were elixirs used in the cultivation world. Shouldn't they be enough to offset Zhou Xi's thousand yuan? Zhou Yuanyuan had no experience, so she called Xiaoyu for an estimate.
The arrogant Xiaoyu directly gave Zhou Yuanyuan a few words of comment: "Trash!"
If Wu Xiuyun hadn't been sitting there, Zhou Yuanyuan would have wanted to roll her eyes. Trash? She had clearly sensed a faint trace of spiritual energy from the Soul-Enriching Pill. If the Soul-Enriching Pill, which contained spiritual energy, was trash, then what were all those spiritual-free foods she'd been eating all those years ago?
