Chapter 51 The Road to the Future Lies Beneath Our Feet



Li Chang'an looked at Su Xiao in his arms and fell into deep thought.

He still remembered that when he took her as his disciple, the system said she was the chosen one.

Could this be related?

When he went to the city before, he naturally brought Su Xiao along, and he never left her side.

It was as if something was interfering, and no one found it strange.

This time, going to war must have been so awkward that Xiong Er had to bring it up.

Li Chang'an looked at Su Xiao and asked in confusion, "Little Ping'an, aren't you afraid to go to war with your master?"

"I'm not afraid. As long as I'm with Master, I'm not afraid of going anywhere."

Su Xiao looked at her master intently, her eyes filled with dependence.

It feels so good to be with my master and by his side.

Normally, Master would hold Xiaoya and Dongdong in his arms, and he didn't dare to compete with them.

Only when I am alone with my master can I be held.

"No, what were you thinking just now? You'd come with me to fight a war."

Su Xiao tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"That's right, I want to be with Master. I don't want to be separated from Master for so long. What if Master doesn't want me anymore?"

"What about that time you went to the city?"

"That's what I was thinking too, and then you took me to the city to play."

Damn, the case is solved.

That bastard used up all her luck on me.

Li Chang'an touched his head, feeling somewhat helpless. Sending her back now was no longer a realistic option.

Never mind.

Since we're already here...

It's a wonderful day.

She's still a child.

Just take it with you.

"Don't cling to your master like that next time, understand?"

"Oh~"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao's eyes reddened, and she lowered her head, pouting, and remained silent.

Li Chang'an patted her head and explained to her, "I am your master, so I am your father."

I treat you like my own daughter. You're a junior, you know?

Even though you can't understand it now, your master is still giving you a heads-up.

You grew up alone and lonely. Suddenly someone cares about you, and you may feel emotionally dependent on them, but you must remember this.

I am your master, just like your father. When you grow up, you will get married and live with other people.

You can't rely on your master like that, you know?

Su Xiao didn't speak, and Li Chang'an felt water droplets on his hand, which were icy cold.

He lifted his apprentice's face and discovered she was secretly shedding tears.

She didn't dare to cry out loud.

This silly child.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry, sweetie."

Li Chang'an could never bear to see a girl shed tears.

He bent down and wiped it off for her, gently comforting her.

He was also very scared because Su Xiao's usual behavior was too mature.

Unlike a child, he is not innocent and carefree.

People who are too clever can get stuck on trivial details.

He didn't want to wait ten years and end up raising a little devil.

So he planned to first address Su Xiao's mental health issues.

"Master, don't you like me anymore?"

Su Xiao looked up at Li Chang'an and said through teary eyes.

"How could that be? You are my disciple, my only disciple, the founding disciple. If Master doesn't have any more children, you will be Master's only child."

"Then why won't you let me come with you?"

"Because you also have your own life. Your life is not just about your master, but also about your future husband, your own children, and your own apprentices. You will become a better person than your master."

"I don't want that, I want my master."

"Be good, don't talk back to your master."

"Oh, but Master, I'm not married yet. Can I stick close to you?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you're not married, you can stick to your master, alright?"

Seeing his apprentice's aggrieved expression, Li Chang'an couldn't bear it and stopped lecturing her.

I hope I don't end up raising a weird or strange girl.

The group walked slowly. They set off in the morning and did not stop to rest at noon. They walked until the sun was about to set before finding a flat place to set up camp.

Because they were still in Lingnan territory, each march had a fixed location.

This is a route that has been explored and developed over decades.

This saves us the trouble of finding a suitable place to set up camp every time.

Li Chang'an rode a horse all day and was alright, except his buttocks were a little sore.

In my past life, I learned to ride horses at a horse farm, treating it merely as a form of entertainment.

But after riding a horse for dozens of miles, he felt his buttocks were numb.

Upon arriving at the campsite, he quickly got off and walked around a bit to stretch his muscles.

Dressed in white, the elegant Li Chang'an stood out awkwardly in the auxiliary troops camp.

The other soldiers were restoring the camp and cooking.

Li Chang'an, meanwhile, took Su Xiao and hid inside the tent to study the GPS.

GPS positioning and navigation systems don't involve any tools or physical objects.

After some research, Li Chang'an discovered that as long as he had a thought, he could project a light screen in front of him, just like using a projector.

The blue arrow indicates his location; the rest of the map looks similar to the one on the phone.

The red dots should be the other people. If you zoom out on the map, you can see that this world is also a spherical world.

It looks similar to Earth, with more sea than land, and the entire planet is also a watery blue color.

However, many places are different.

He couldn't distinguish the specific differences, after all, he didn't remember the shapes of the Earth's continents very well.

Zooming out of the map allows you to see your location, even the tents and what the surrounding soldiers are doing.

Although the image is not very clear, the figures are still visible.

Li Chang'an's interest was immediately piqued, and he pulled back along the mountain road on the map.

The location of Chengxi Village was seen, and the shape of the village was enlarged.

A group of people could be seen working in the village, while soldiers patrolled the surrounding area.

Enlarging it further won't work; you can only see the human shape, but you can't tell who it is.

Su Xiao stared wide-eyed at the light screen in front of her.

The village displayed on the light screen was clearly my own village.

She could even distinguish which was where she used to live, which was where she chopped wood, and which was Xiong Er's house.

She suddenly pointed to a small figure and said to Li Chang'an, "Master, Master, look, this is Dongdong squatting on the ground writing."

Li Chang'an also shifted the view to that side, where he saw a small figure squatting on the ground, writing and drawing.

Although we can't see his face, the person who isn't working and is alone in the yard at this time should be Dongdong.

Su Xiao asked curiously, "Master, what is this? Why can we see Dongdong and the others from the sky, and also see the village? Aren't we far away from the village?"
