Though the houses here were unremarkable, to Su Long's young heart, they were already quite good. He had even inquired specifically and compared the surrounding areas, finding the best value for money right here.
Soon, Li Er found a family who had already bought a new house elsewhere and were putting their current one up for sale. Upon hearing Li Er wanted to buy, they happily welcomed him in, extolling the virtues of their home.
In the end, they purchased it for a flat 200,000.
The furniture, tables, and chairs were all already there. Li Er only changed the bedding. As for the property deed, the owner transferred it that same day. Since Li Er was straightforward and paid in cash, the original family also promptly handled the paperwork.
"Godfather, do we finally have our own house?" Su Long looked at everything in the house, scarcely believing it. He hadn't expected to have his own room so soon.
After all, he was just a child. Though mature for his age, having a home felt somewhat dreamlike.
Li Er patted Su Long's head and smiled, "That's right, from now on, this is our home!"
Su Long nodded vigorously. Afterwards, Li Er went out for the entire afternoon, inquiring about everything in this world. He learned that at Su Long's age, he should be attending school.
Su Long, who had been waiting at home for Li Er to return, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Er come back. All of this was real.
"Godfather, I don't even know your name, and should I change mine too?" Su Long asked expectantly.
Li Er raised an eyebrow and said, "My name is Li Er. Su Long is a good name for you, no need to change it!"
Su Long immediately nodded. He also thought Su Long sounded nice, but Li Long wouldn't be bad either! Su Long didn't really care. Having someone provide for his basic needs was already a tremendous blessing; his name was an external matter.
"Su Long, at your age, you should be going to school. I've already found out there's a school nearby. I'll take you there tomorrow," Li Er said.
Su Long was taken aback. *Damn, I have to go to school?* He was a bit reluctant. He'd rather join the army.
But in the end, he said nothing.
The next day, Li Er took Su Long to the nearby administrative office to register his household registration. Since they had a house, registering was relatively straightforward. They then went to the school to inquire, and Li Er successfully enrolled Su Long.
Afterward, Li Er went to the Xia Corporation Trading Firm and bought a cultivation manual from this world, the "Qian Jun Jue"!
After reading through it once, Li Er pouted. It was rudimentary, only opening a few acupoints around the body, and a mere nine key ones at that. It was quite insufficient.
Pondering for a moment, Li Er began to make modifications to the "Qian Jun Jue." After a lengthy revision, Li Er finally nodded in satisfaction. When Su Long returned, he would give him the book, which would be more than enough for his cultivation.
As for the cultivation of the Civilization Masters in this region, Li Er was also quite interested. However, Nan Yuan was too small, and those items were expensive, leaving Li Er with no money to splurge.
But not buying did not mean Li Er couldn't read them. With his divine sense, he had already observed a great deal. Nurturing the spirit and divine script were indeed somewhat interesting.
In a blur, several years passed since Li Er arrived in this world. During these years, Su Long cultivated to the Ten Thousand Stone realm and was considered a minor prodigy in the entire Great Xia Prefecture, especially since Li Er had modified his cultivation technique.
Now, fourteen-year-old Su Long was preparing to join the army. Li Er did not stop him. Su Long soon enlisted in the Xia Family Demon Suppressing Army and entered the Myriad Realms Battlefield.
In fact, the recruitment officers had advised Su Long to attend the Great Xia War Academy first before joining the Demon Suppressing Army. However, the young man had an unusual obsession with joining the military. Li Er also arrived at the Myriad Realms Battlefield in the same year, experiencing the scenery of the battlefield.
Time flew by. When Li Er returned to their small house, Su Long also came back, wounded. Currently, Su Long possessed the strength of the Soaring Cloud realm.
Within the Demon Suppressing Army, he was already a commander.
His return this time was due to the Demon Suppressing Army granting him leave for recovery and to look after his home.
Upon Su Long's return, seeing that the house had not changed one bit, he smiled. Upon seeing Li Er, he quickly said, "Godfather, how have you been all these years?"
Li Er smiled and said, "Very well. Haven't you been sending me the money you earned all these years!"
Su Long felt a little embarrassed. He had been serving in the army all this time and hadn't been able to properly honor his godfather. Fortunately, he had leave this time.
"Kid, you're not getting any younger. Aren't you considering getting married and having children? If you leave, you could at least leave me a grandson to keep me company!" Li Er said, watching Su Long cook.
Su Long nodded. He also planned to get married this time. He had been in contact with a former classmate for years.
Afterward, Su Long arranged for the two families to meet. However, when they saw Li Er, they were all shocked because Li Er looked too young. In reality, Su Long was also puzzled; he didn't know his godfather's cultivation level. He looked like an ordinary person yet could maintain his youth, which was very strange.
Of course, Li Er claimed he was just an ordinary person who had previously obtained a youth-preserving pill, hence his unchanging appearance.
Su Long and his wife soon got married. After all, Su Long was a commander in the Demon Suppressing Army and, moreover, a powerhouse of the Soaring Cloud realm. The bride's family naturally wouldn't refuse.
In the following years, Su Yu was born. This time, with Li Er present, Su Long's wife did not die from complications during childbirth. With a single Life Prolonging Pill from Li Er, she recovered.
When Su Yu was six years old, as expected, the food source dungeon of the Time Master appeared near Starfall Mountain. Li Er stroked his chin, suspecting it was the will of the world. He had thought that with his involvement, Su Yu's birth might be different, but it turned out to be the same year.
However, this time, Su Long was not present; it was Li Er who brought it back.
After some thought, Li Er still used the persona of an ordinary person to speak to Su Yu about everything, claiming it was an occasional treasure he had obtained and had no intention of selling it. Li Er also paid no mind to the phantom following behind him.
Su Yu, just like in the original story, absorbed the Time Scroll and even put on a performance. The people from within the Heavenly Gate eventually left, and Li Er paid them no attention.
However, afterward, Su Yu couldn't sleep every night and even feared sleeping. Li Er also sighed. Perhaps it was precisely this that would forge the future, somewhat insane Su Yu.
Yet, every month, Li Er would secretly help Su Yu fall asleep. This could be considered his compensation to his grandson.
Thus, Su Yu, just like in the original story, was admitted to Nan Yuan Academy and achieved excellent results. Through Liu Wenyan's introduction, he would be heading to the Great Xia Civilization Academy next month.
