Chapter 18 The old man prepares to leave the village together.
"Grandpa is old and can't run anymore. When the time comes, you should leave the village with the Soul Master who awakened your soul. After all, this isn't a good place for you to cultivate," the old man said with a sigh.
"Grandpa, I'm not really planning to leave you alone in the village. After all, you're getting old, and I'm really worried about you living alone."
"And now that you can cultivate, I'm afraid if you accidentally reveal this fact, those nobles won't let you off the hook, and even the villagers might not let you go. Grandpa, you should understand the saying 'a small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment' better than I do."
The old man originally wanted to refute it, but seeing Ling Xiao's firm attitude, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything Ling Xiao said made sense, and he didn't know how to refute it.
Moreover, ever since he gained soul power, he has wanted to improve it. He had been a lower-class person his whole life, and now that he had strength, he would naturally cherish it even more.
Moreover, after he was able to cultivate, not only would his strength increase, but his lifespan would also be extended. He also wanted to stay with his grandson and protect him.
After all, Ling Xiao is too young and lacks social experience. There is a high possibility that he will be deceived by others. I can feel more at ease if I am by his side.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, the old man decided that he would leave the village with his grandson. So he said, "Ling Xiao, Grandpa has made up his mind. I will go with you, but how should I tell the Soul Master?"
“Grandpa, as long as you agree to leave, that’s fine. I’ll talk to Master Su Yuntao about the rest myself,” Ling Xiao promised.
After all the discussions were over, Father Luke disappeared. Upon seeing this, the old man immediately asked Ling Xiao, "Grandson, do you know where Father Luke went?"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Ling Xiao replied, "Father Luke was sent by the Lord of Light to protect me, so he hid in the shadows after we finished talking."
"I see," the old man said, suddenly realizing.
Time flew by, and by the time Su Yuntao returned, it was already past five in the afternoon. Since Su Yuntao was not familiar with the village, he took the initiative to find a villager to lead the way, and that's how he found Ling Xiao's remote home.
The first thing Su Yuntao did upon arriving at Ling Xiao's house was to run to Ling Xiao's side and ask, "Have you thought it through? Do you want to join the Spirit Hall?"
“Uncle Su Yuntao, I’ve made up my mind. I’ve decided to join the Spirit Hall, but I have two requests, and I hope you can agree to them,” Ling Xiao said.
"As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you do it," Su Yuntao said confidently.
"The first thing is, of course, because my grandfather is getting old, and I hope he can leave the village with me. I'm really worried about him being alone in the village."
As for the second thing, it was naturally because my grandfather was too old to work in the fields. Therefore, my grandfather and I barely made ends meet with the help of the villagers when we were young.
"I'm leaving the village now, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back. So I want to give some money to the villagers who helped me to repay their kindness in taking care of me and my grandfather since I was a child," Ling Xiao replied.
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Su Yuntao thought for a moment and realized that these were minor matters, so he agreed. He hadn't brought much money with him when he came, only ten gold soul coins, and he didn't know if that would be enough to distribute among the villagers.
"Um, Ling Xiao, I didn't bring much money with me when I came. I only have ten gold soul coins on me right now. I don't know if that's enough?" Su Yuntao said somewhat awkwardly.
