Chapter 801: The Past of 801
Still, it’s better to ask. Sun Zhenren mentally rejected the seven of them. "Tell me about your identities."
The first female cultivator who arrived first spoke, "Master Zhenren, I’m just a loose cultivator, wanting to go to the battlefield and settle here for a while. This is my senior brother; we came together."
An older male cultivator said, "Master Zhenren, I am also a loose cultivator, just looking to live and cultivate here."
Sun Zhenren waved his hand, observing their bone ages and cultivation levels. It was certainly not them.
Tan Shaoting bowed, "Master Zhenren, I am Tan Shaoting, an outer disciple of the Shushan Sect. These are my three children; they are also outer disciples.
We have returned from the battlefield and wish to go back to the sect."
Sun Zhenren looked at Tan Shaoting and the three children.
This father and three sons were better than the previous ones, the three children were over five years old and already at the third level of Qi cultivation.
"Shushan Sect?"
"Yes, this is my identity jade token."
The three children also took out their jade tokens.
"Why did you take this route to return to the Shushan Sect?"
"We actually wanted to exchange our demon beasts for spirit stones in various workshops during this period.
Because in the major workshops, the prices for collecting demon beasts are always low. So we came here."
Sun Zhenren nodded. "When did you arrive?"
"We arrived at the workshop two days ago. We had a meal at the Spirit Food House, sold some demon beasts at Duobao Pavilion, and then rented a cave dwelling to rest for a while."
"Alright, go on, you can all leave."
Tan Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief; good heavens, these people really discovered them and actually tracked them down.
After leaving the management office, the father and sons returned directly to the cave dwelling and placed their own array.
"We’ll go out for a stroll tomorrow and leave in a few days."
"Dad, have we passed the test?" Qi Hong asked.
"It seems so. After all, no one can imagine that Qi Yan, a little cultivator with low cultivation, could cause such an anomaly."
"Dad, are we still going to the Wolf Tooth Mountain Market?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Of course, we’re going to the Wolf Tooth Mountain Market." The more things stay the same, the less likely the route will change. Also, the Shushan Sect is definitely not returning. If someone asks, just say we’re waiting to participate in the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm.
Tan Shaoting dared not use his divine sense, fearing that anything unusual would be detected. He simply took the children around the workshop.
They went to the Spirit Food House to have a meal. There was also a free market here, which they wandered around—there was really nothing good. However, they still patiently made a round, buying some talismans; these things were never too many.
The children had almost used up their talismans during battle, and now, restocking some might be useful in the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm.
Throughout the journey, there was no news of that Zhenren, presumably he had already left.
Tan Shaoting patient for another three days here before going to withdraw from the cave dwelling.
The father and sons boarded the flying boat once more, leisurely heading towards Wolf Tooth Mountain. This time it was truly for sightseeing.
A month later, they finally arrived at the Wolf Tooth Mountain Market.
This was where they had come the first time, and it still held their hopes.
After arriving here, they went to Duobao Pavilion once more, sold some demon beasts again for spirit stones, and rented a small courtyard—the same one the father and sons had lived in before.
The three children were quite happy; it was a case of fledgling nostalgia.
The father and sons settled down here, frequently visiting Wolf Tooth Mountain, as in a few months they might see the people they longed to see.
Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan was with Zeng Hongling at home, and Yang Liulang had gone back to his old home; they returned after half a month.
Zeng Hongling made a lot of delicious food for her husband. Since marriage, they had been together, and suddenly being apart for so long was really a bit unsettling.
"Su Yuanyuan, your village has agreed to use half the land to grow medicinal herbs."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, knowing Yang Hongwen would surely agree. After all, the terms offered were indeed good.
The technician stayed there. The three neighboring villages also allocated half of their land to grow medicinal herbs.
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what? I just went over and met your village chief alone, said I’m a friend of yours, then talked about the herb-growing project. The old village chief didn’t refuse at all."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, that’s ideal. Everyone could earn more money.
"Your village chief asked me to tell you your dad passed away."
Su Yuanyuan was stunned. Su Daqiang passed away? How could he die in his prime?
"Your mom did it."
So Tian Xiaohua killed Su Daqiang? How could this happen?
"It was last year. Your mom and brother’s lives were getting better, but they moved out on their own, leaving no one to care for your dad.
It’s said Su Daqiang wanted to live with them but was refused, so he beat your mom.
In the end, the beating was so severe, your mom took an axe and killed him."
Su Yuanyuan mentally retorted, that Yang Liulang really couldn’t chat; this matter couldn’t be that simple.
"Your village chief said he wrote you letters, but you never replied. I said you weren’t here. I’ll inform you instead."
Su Yuanyuan knew some things about Su Daqiang and his spouse from reading Yang Chunsheng’s memories.
Regarding the couple, Su Yuanyuan had no feelings; she had once tried to sever ties with them, as they were very bad to her.
I’ll go to the garrison tomorrow to check on the letter. Yang Chunsheng didn’t know about this; otherwise, he would definitely have told her.
With the matter sorted, Su Yuanyuan felt much more settled, planning to go to the seaside in a few days. She still preferred life there.
On the next day, Su Yuanyuan drove to the garrison.
Zhang Chunsheng knew Su Yuanyuan was back, but with everything so busy recently, he mainly didn’t know what to say upon seeing her.
Though he had apologized, and they lived together for a while, after returning, it still felt off. Essentially just waiting for Hu Zi and the others to return and take a look together.
"Hey, Sister-in-law." Zhou Cong was quite excited to see Su Yuanyuan.
"Hello. I was wondering if I have a few letters?"
"Yes, I was just thinking of coming by to see you and deliver them."
The two talked as they entered Zhang Chunsheng’s office.
"Su Yuanyuan, are you back?" Zhang Chunsheng asked, feeling silly after he did.
"Yes, I’m here to take my letters."
"Here you go, they’re all with me." Zhang Chunsheng took out three letters from the drawer.
"Thank you."
"Is there really a need to be so polite?"
"I really should thank you. I’m heading back; in a few days, I’ll go to the seaside."
"Hu Zi and the others will be back soon. We’ll go see you. Also, your benefits, salary, and rewards, don’t forget to take them back."
