Now that their family has safely returned, the five of them have disappeared.
The family truly doesn’t care about these people and fears no later power.
If we can fight, we will; if not, we’ll flee. There’s always a day when we can handle them.
Ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river. They have absolute confidence in themselves.
Tan Shaoting took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and said a few words, waiting for Nangong Xingyun’s reply.
"You should go see him yourself. We’ll go out for a stroll."
Tan Shaoting had no objections; in the city, they weren’t worried about safety.
Nangong Xingyun’s reply was very quick; they agreed to et at the teahouse.
The family split up for their tasks. Qi Hao sat in their elder brother’s embrace, while Qi Xuan was in their second brother’s hug.
Their elder brothers pampered them more than their father did, and the two little ones were also very astute.
Mother and her children walked on the street amidst the bustling crowd, causing Su Yuanyuan to marvel that this place was like a city that never sleeps. There were always so many people whenever they ca out.
"Mom, let’s go to Duobao Pavilion. I want to look at books about Spirit Plants."
Su Yuanyuan also wanted to see if there were any books on talismans, so mother and kids went into Duobao Pavilion.
The shop assistant was very sharp-eyed and imdiately ca over enthusiastically to greet the family.
"Senior, what do you need this ti?"
Su Yuanyuan smiled, "We need books regarding Spirit Plants and talismans."
"Senior, please wait a mont. Here is the catalogue; senior can look through it first."
Su Yuanyuan honestly didn’t know more than the children about these things.
Qi Hong took it and selected a few books,
Qi Yan and Qi Wen also chose so books.
The shop assistant was very efficient, quickly bringing over their selections.
After Su Yuanyuan paid, the family left. She ntally complained that the family’s hard-earned inco from missions wasn’t enough to buy books.
"Should we eat outside?"
Qi Wen shook her head, "Not tasty. Better not."
"Anywhere else we should visit?"
"Mom, let’s make a few vestnts for Qi Hao and Qi Xuan."
Su Yuanyuan realized she had overlooked that. "Indeed, let’s go, let’s make so for the family too."
As mother and children walked the street, they soon attracted attention.
Spiritual Clothing Pavilion had quite a few people present, mostly female cultivators.
When mother and children entered, many people took notice of them.
Nonetheless, there were mostly Qi Refinent Realm cultivators around, so even though Su Yuanyuan, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, drew so curiosity, interest was discreet. No one dared to be openly inquisitive.
A pretty female cultivator greeted them warmly.
Qi Wen, who was familiar, stated their purpose directly.
"Friend, here are a few designs that can be adjusted in size and can block attacks from Foundation Establishnt Stage.
The arrays on them have spirit gathering and cleaning functions."
Qi Wen found them satisfactory. Of course, the price was truly acceptable.
Still, they made two vestnts each for Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.
Their existing vestnts were many.
"What about you?"
"Mom, we already have plenty, just prepare for the two younger brothers."
Qi Wen’s calling her mom surprised everyone in Spiritual Clothing Pavilion.
How old was this female cultivator? They thought they were sisters.
From earlier comnts, the two little ones were her kids, and this girl too, then who were those two boys? Clearly siblings.
On closer inspection, they realized they indeed looked quite alike.
Su Yuanyuan paid Spirit Stones, and set a pickup date for ten days later, then the mother and children left.
"Mom, let’s go back now," said Qi Hong.
When dad wasn’t by their side, the brothers were responsible for mom’s and the siblings’ safety.
Already several groups were tailing them, which frustrated Qi Hong.
Although private fights aren’t allowed in the city, being targeted irritates him.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t mind, aware of those trailing them, intent on robbing and assaulting. Truly clueless.
Mother and children returned to their residence. Under the isolation of dual arrays, they relaxed a bit.
Su Yuanyuan felt people here were more uncivilized. How to describe? Not enlightened enough; their thoughts too direct, resulting in few restraints, leading to boldness.
She looked at her three older ones who weren’t happy, "It’s okay; how others think or act isn’t for you to decide?
Go read. Do you want to enter the space?"
Qi Wen nodded, "Mom, I want to go in."
Her brothers also nodded.
Su Yuanyuan stayed outside with the two young ones. Both were spirited, so she taught them literacy.
Though hesitant to teach, fearing mistakes, recognizing words posed no issue.
Tan Shaoting waited at the teahouse for Nangong Xingyun, agreeing to et to express gratitude for his benevolence.
Without him, the family would have had to waste much talk. Not inclined to telling lies, they must thank him.
Nangong Xingyun arrived swiftly, soon sighting the uniquely graceful Mr. Tan.
At first glance, he felt Mr. Tan was extraordinary. Truly, that feeling was hard to describe, very ethereal.
"Friend."
Tan Shaoting stood up to return the gesture, "Mr. Nangong, my na is Tan Shaoting."
"Mr. Tan."
They exchanged smiles, both finding the other agreeable.
Facing each other, they sipped tea.
"Mr. Tan, I invited you to ask if you’re interested in visiting the secret realm?"
Tan Shaoting shook his head with a smile, "Friend, our family is here mainly to attend next year’s recruitnt by the Sect.
The kids are grown and have their own ideas. In this case, joining the Sect is better."
"Mr. Tan, are your three children just thirteen years of bone age? Already at the sixth layer of Qi Refinent, their Spirit Roots must be excellent."
"Not bad, all have Dual Spirit Roots, allowing access to good cultivation resources in the Sect."
Nangong Xingyun nodded, "Indeed.
Mr. Tan, consider it; visiting the secret realm doesn’t clash with next year’s recruitnt timing."
Tan Shaoting still shook his head, "Not going, just fearing complications delaying the recruitnt."
Nangong Xingyun saw Tan Shaoting truly lacked any desire to go, finding it amusing as people struggled to enter the secret realm. Yet here, Tan Shaoting resisted even self-persuasion.
"Mr. Tan, if your family finds living here inconvenient, you could stay at the City Lord Mansion’s annex, where it’s peaceful and undisturbed."
Tan Shaoting chuckled, shaking his head, "Thanks to Mr. Nangong. The residence is set, so we won’t trouble you."
"Isn’t outside living uncomfortable?"
"Before, our family was often without a fixed abode, so we’re accustod."
He knew Nangong Xingyun wanted their backstory.
"You both, at your age, in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, with this many children, it’s rare.
Mr. Tan, you’re truly lucky. In Cultivation, having even one bloodline to carry on is incredibly fortunate."
