Lu Li didn't know what Shu Chi meant, and carefully thought back on whether he had done something wrong or offended him.
After thinking it over, he realized he hadn't done anything wrong. However, considering the other person was a senior and the ancestor of millet, he still politely stepped forward and greeted him, "Greetings, senior."
Then he received a flat, emotionless response: "Mm."
Not only was the voice light and airy, but the other person didn't even move an inch, still lazily basking in the sun with their eyes closed, half asleep.
Seeing how leisurely it was, Lu Li's lips twitched silently. At that moment, he understood why his master and mistress always couldn't help but assign it tasks whenever they saw it like this. He was now thinking of assigning it some tasks as well.
Of course, he only thought about it and didn't dare to actually put it into action. After all, Shu Chi was his junior sister's direct ancestor, and by all accounts, he could be considered half an ancestor of his. He didn't have the guts to be so rebellious.
Following that, Lu Li, who dared not be disrespectful, briefly explained a few words to Shu Chi and, after receiving a nod from the other party, hurriedly left the cave and headed towards the main hall of Liu Yu.
His recent appearance was merely a mid-game break; after some rest and activity, he will have to return to seclusion.
Just then, he remembered the things that Shushu had given him before, and their agreement that once Shushu successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, they would leave the Rainy Continent.
Since it was a break anyway, Lu Li simply contacted Liu Yu to ask for his help in refining the shuttle. He only came out after Liu Yu nodded in agreement.
Now all he has to do is deliver the materials to Liu Yu. Maybe when the two of them come out of seclusion, Liu Yu will have already helped them refine the shuttle boat, and then they can leave the Yulin Continent directly.
Don't ask him why he's so sure they can break through to the Nascent Soul stage during this seclusion. The answer is confidence, and also the courage he gets from the blessings the world bestows upon him after obtaining the World Heart.
Lu Li went out quickly and returned even faster. Before long, he was back. Seeing that Shu Chi was already asleep, he didn't wake it. After putting down some things that were useful to the Soul Clan, he went back to his seclusion.
The entire cave returned to its former tranquility, and Shu Chi continued to guard the cave entrance as always, never leaving its side.
During this time, beasts from the Liuyue Sect would occasionally come over, either to bring it food and supplies, or to chat with Shuchi and listen to its stories. Among them, Shuchi's group of friends were the most frequent visitors.
After three years, everyone had come to know that Shu Chi was the ancestor of millet and yam.
At first, everyone came out of curiosity to see what the ancestor of the millet and potato was like.
Later, we discovered that the millet was just like the yam, very easy to get along with and incredibly patient with the baby.
In addition, Shu Chi could always answer the children's strange and unusual questions, and he was knowledgeable and knew a lot.
Gradually, the children actually became friends with Shu Chi, forming a close bond despite their age difference.
Shu Chi also really liked the polite, clever and cute children of various races in the Liuyue Sect.
Knowing that the cubs didn't like listening to the teachers at the cub orphanage, Shu Chi combined the teaching methods of the treasure-hunting rat clan and taught the cubs knowledge by telling stories.
The little ones, including Rabbit and Lingjun, and even the most mischievous Xuan Shen, all loved listening to Shu Chi tell stories about their era and the events that had occurred on the ancient battlefield. As they listened, they learned quite a bit.
Whenever Shu Chi began to speak, Lu Li's cave, including the jade tree where no winged creatures had ever dared to inhabit, would be filled with densely packed winged creature cubs, with other creatures of various races arranged in concentric circles below, from shortest to tallest.
At this time, Xuan Shen, whose height is not comparable, will always lie at the front, with several newly hatched firefly bunnies, their eyes sparkling and their faces full of admiration.
Knowing that Shushu and Luli were in seclusion deep inside the cave, even if they were certain that there were many restrictions inside, there were also various restrictions and soundproof arrays set up by Liu Yu and Shuchi outside, so that no sound could possibly get in.
But everyone was very self-disciplined and kept quiet throughout the whole process. No one made any noise. If someone accidentally made a little noise, the kids next to them would immediately go over, cover their mouths, hold them down, and give them a reasoned explanation. They made sure there would be no trouble.
The orphanage teachers were always envious of this magical scene, because these little ones were only so well-behaved in front of Shushu and Shuchi; they would probably be quite unruly on ordinary days.
Therefore, they greatly admired the Shu Chi who was able to subdue these little ones, and even followed the example of humans, spontaneously joining forces to apply for subsidies and official positions for the Shu Chi from Liu Ying.
When Liu Ying received the joint book, she was speechless for a long time because she was so shocked.
The final result was that Shu Chi became a rat that ate the official grain of the Shangliuyue Sect, and received a certain monthly allowance.
Not only that, the parents of those children would also occasionally have their children send them gifts. They weren't anything expensive, just special products from their own race, all sorts of things, each with a different purpose.
The millet worm is no longer the poor mouse that once couldn't even afford a small gift for its cub when it encountered millet and potatoes. Its wealth has increased significantly, and it is becoming increasingly rich.
Moreover, it planned to keep only a tiny bit of these things as a last resort, to use as a gift when encountering other treasure-hunting rats in the future, and to leave the rest for Millet.
Even if its own son came, it would be the same, although its own son might not even be alive.
Meanwhile, Shushu, who was still in seclusion, was unaware that while she was busy cultivating and improving, her ancestor had already earned a large sum of money, which was just waiting for her to come out of seclusion so that she could receive it.
Five years passed in this way. On this day, Shu Chi had just finished teaching for a day and watched all the children leave the main peak in a quiet and orderly manner. He was about to close his eyes and take another nap.
Suddenly, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy surging in from all directions, heading straight for the secluded cultivation room deep within the cave.
In an instant, all of Shu Chi's drowsiness vanished, and he stopped sleeping altogether. He immediately stood up, full of energy, and looked intently into the depths of the cave, his expression excited.
At the same time, Liu Yu, who was in the main hall at the summit, also sensed the disturbance of spiritual energy and rushed over immediately.
