Chapter 10 Without roots to rely on, how can one have a home...?
Chang Yubai said that he had been chased all the way, so what's wrong with asking for some compensation for emotional distress?
Li Qingyun: Have some shame!
Quan Quan: "..."
Very good, a very good young man. I haven't seen someone with such a unique personality in a long time.
"Young man, after all that babbling, do you recognize this old man?"
Quan Quan thought and thought about the humans he knew, but Chang Yubai's face still seemed unfamiliar.
But when Chang Yubai mentioned himself, he was full of affirmation, like an old acquaintance.
Could it be that one of the old guys he used to befriend has come to his senses and deliberately changed his appearance to look younger?
No, that's unlikely; none of his old friends have such a vivid mind.
Chang Yubai confirmed his guess: "I don't know him."
Chang Yubai added, "Actually, it's okay to get to know each other."
Li Qingyun: ?
No! You can't!
Li Qingyun yanked hard on his robe.
Chang Yubai snapped to attention, realizing his young master's intention, and immediately said, "But no need, it's best if we don't know each other."
Quan Quan: "..." Do you think I'm blind?
Quan Quan then looked at Li Qingyun, who was hiding in a huddle.
Li Qingyun: "...Me too, I don't know you."
Quan Quan: That's a bit like blatant lying.
Why is neither of them, one big nor one small, properly positioned?
"Alright, then I was just being presumptuous." Quan Quan shook his head helplessly. "I thought you knew me well, so I was just teasing you."
"You ignorant brat, yet you're so audacious, daring to demand compensation for emotional distress from a stranger."
I've never even heard of this thing.
Quan Quan changed the subject abruptly: "You want compensation from me? I haven't even asked you for the loss of the Firefly Essence yet. Didn't you just pass by a fight? I saw you take that lamp fruit."
"If we're really going to calculate it, you're the one who ate and took, you weren't being polite at all!"
Anyone can do math; with just a few words, Quan Quan could come up with an exorbitant price that Chang Yu Bai couldn't afford.
Upon hearing the mention of firefly marrow and lamp fruit, Chang Yubai's face instantly turned bitter.
Quan Quan chuckled upon seeing this.
"Fine, you've given me a glimpse of what a living person looks like, so I won't hold your losses against you this time."
"Really!" Li Qingyun exclaimed in surprise first.
After shouting, he realized how abruptly he had come out, and quickly shrank back behind Chang Yubai.
Chang Yubai: "Xiaoyun...don't always be eyeing my wallet."
He saw through the truth behind Li Qingyun's surprise at a glance.
Quan Quan laughed even harder: "Really. It's better if it's you guys than anyone else. Especially those bastards from Shuque County, if they really managed to sneak in, we'd be finished."
"As for the lamp fruit, I am not blind. Since the spirit lizard is willing to give it to you, it naturally belongs to you."
"Great!" Chang Yubai exclaimed in genuine surprise this time. "Elder Quan Quan, you're much more generous than your future self!"
?
What kind of talk is that?
Am I really going to be so mean in the future?
Quan Quan said with a stern face, "Say something nice, or everything I just said will be null and void."
"!" Chang Yubaihu's body trembled.
"Xiaoyun! You go!"
Chang Yubai brought in an outside helper.
Li Qingyun: Hey!
Don't just give me away like that!
Xiaoyun awkwardly leaned out halfway: "Elder Quanquan~ Elder Quanquan, you are so generous and compassionate. You have profound cultivation and a broad mind. You are clearly a person with a wide vision and great capacity for tolerance. We are not very knowledgeable and have accidentally offended your dignity. Please be lenient and don't hold it against us ignorant juniors."
Quan Quan: "..."
Elder Quan Quan sighed: "You've been away all these years... Never mind, I was just joking. I said I wouldn't hold it against you, so naturally I won't make things difficult for you anymore."
"However, there is one more thing that concerns you."
Elder Quanquan tapped his scepter, and vines cleared a path, leading directly to a patch of firefly marrow.
"The Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits has recently encountered some problems and does not welcome outsiders. You have come at the wrong time, so you should leave as soon as possible."
"What's going on? Are the three counties about to go to war?" Chang Yubai asked in surprise. "But isn't the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits always a friendly and harmonious family?"
Elder Quanquan's eyelids twitched: "Do you think I would tell you about something so important in the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits? Do you dare to listen?"
"Never mind then." Chang Yubai immediately backed down.
"I value my life very much."
Li Qingyun: Heh.
Then go ahead and cultivate! Once you reach the Great Perfection realm, who can bully you then!
Vision, oh my, vision!
Li Qingyun wished she could whip the lazy dog to make it cultivate.
Chang Yubai quietly moved one step away from Li Qingyun.
Master's gaze is terrifying; he absolutely does not want to be dragged by Master to cultivate his teeth!
Chang Yubai began to miss the Venerable Qingyun in the Ice Soul Pocket.
Although his master initially used a sullen face to urge him to cultivate, even pushing him all the way to break through to the advanced martial arts realm, after breaking through to the advanced martial arts realm, his master became very kind. He not only stopped mentioning cultivation, but also tacitly allowed him to stay in his cave and not go out. When he did go out, he didn't have to go to territories with many spirit beasts to train. Whenever he was short of money, he would just ask for a large bag of spirit jade...
No, we can't bring that up again.
His master is gone and will never return.
There will never be another person who spoils him like this again.
Chang Yubai: X﹏X
"Waaah, Xiaoyun, I'm so sad—"
Li Qingyun, suddenly embraced: ...
What's wrong with a lunatic?
Didn't you just avoid his gaze very well?
You really know how to change your expression in a second.
"What's wrong?" Quan Quan was also surprised by the eldest son's reaction.
"You're so reluctant to leave my Muqiong County?"
Quan Quan did not believe it.
Li Qingyun next to him hadn't even started yelling yet, so why was it that this young man couldn't take it anymore?
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"I miss my master."
“…Uh.” Li Qingyun really wanted to tell him that if he really wanted to, he could take out his master’s pocket and reminisce over it.
But don't say it in front of Elder Quanquan, it's weird.
He doesn't want to be seen as a weirdo.
Elder Quanquan: That's an expression that says something, isn't it? It must be, right?
Why are you trying so hard to hold back? What are you trying to say?!
Elder Quanquan's eyes widened with curiosity.
But Chang Yubai's sadness came and went quickly; he hugged Li Qingyun for a while and then calmed down.
"Xiaoyun, check the character parameters. If everything is okay, we'll be leaving."
Li Qingyun: Huh?
Are we getting back to the main topic so suddenly?
We should give him a heads-up first!
"Oh, okay, I'll count them." Li Qingyun also wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. With a flash of his mustard seed space, a sack fell out, inside which were wilted ginseng roots.
Quan Quan: "..."
My child, I'm still here.
You should at least hide it a little.
"Hiss—" Quan Quan also counted, and couldn't help but gasp after he finished.
"Did you just arrive in Muqiong County today?"
"...It entered when the firefly marrow was being fried." Chang Yu rolled his eyes.
Li Qingyun also felt guilty and shifted her gaze.
Quan Quan: "That's impressive."
Chang Yubai: ?
Li Qingyun: ...
Oh no, my pockets are too conspicuous.
Li Qingyun quickly tightened the sack and glared back at Elder Quanquan.
He received a knowing smile from Elder Quanquan.
"Hmph!" Li Qingyun turned her head away in a huff.
"Brother, let's go." The harvest from Muqiong County has been completed.
As for the other two counties... they're not going to stop coming, they'll gather them all sooner or later!
Elder Quanquan pointed his finger, and a wisp of greenish fluorescence quietly flew to Li Qingyun's ear.
Are you really not going to keep the child?
Li Qingyun paused.
If you have specific requests, then...
"Brother!" Li Qingyun interrupted the telepathic communication, grabbed Chang Yubai's sleeve, and hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly."
This is a blatant rejection.
Elder Quanquan sighed again.
Before activating the mustard seed space, he glanced at the sack again, thinking of the sixteen neatly arranged primordial ginseng roots, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"It's all a tragedy."
When he said this, he was all alone.
...
The two embarked on another journey.
That's how it should be.
In Chang Yubai's planned route, the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits was just a stop along the way.
Even without Elder Quanquan's expulsion, they wouldn't have stayed long.
Rather, it was Li Qingyun's request that slowed down their original pace.
But how could the master's affairs be considered trivial matters?
Chang Yu nodded thoughtfully.
"This was a great success, Xiaoyun. How's your cultivation level?"
"First-level martial arts, second stage".
It has been upgraded.
That's good.
Chang Yubai nodded even more vigorously.
Li Qingyun felt it wasn't enough.
Too weak. After witnessing the cannon fodder and elders along the way, Li Qingyun felt that the initial martial realm was nothing at all.
He didn't even have the resources to participate in the fight, so he could only stand aside and watch Chang Yubai fight, which was a great disgrace!
He must find a way to become stronger!
He must at least surpass Chang Yubai!
Then you must turn around and whip him to see how far this lazy dog can go before he hits a bottleneck.
I've never seen such a waste of talent!
Li Qingyun's face turned bright red with anger.
The rumbling thunder interrupted their world of their own.
Thunder rumbled from afar, its power still lingering even a hundred meters away.
Both of them furrowed their brows at the same time.
Li Qingyun subconsciously looked at Chang Yubai, wanting to ask what was going on, but saw that Chang Yubai also had his brows furrowed and was deep in thought, pinching his chin.
Something's not right.
Something is definitely not right, even nine out of ten.
Although Thunder Valley has always been a treacherous place with wicked people and constant thunder and rain, it is not meant to take lives.
Why is even thunder so bad these days?
"Brother, is it dangerous? Do we really have to go in?" Li Qingyun asked worriedly.
Judging from Chang Yubai's reaction, it wasn't a sure thing.
If he can't even beat Chang Yubai, wouldn't he be finished in no time?
Li Qingyun: "How about we take a detour, bro?"
"There's no way around it." Chang Yubai shook his head.
"If we take a detour, we'll have to go through the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits and travel from the Shadow County to the Yan Kingdom."
However, the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits now rejects humans, and if Chang Yubai remembers correctly, the Yan Kingdom was still fighting a hundred-year war at this time, which only ended on the day Li Tiansheng was born.
His master is still just a kid, let alone Li Tiansheng, who was twenty-four years old and went to fight against Venerable Qingyun. They can't even be found now, and the end of the war is still a long way off.
War is no better than thunder.
"Let's go straight ahead." Chang Yubai gripped Li Qingyun's small hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you no matter what happens."
