Xiulan and little Che sparred with each other and Xiulan fell meters away out of the fight ring causing grandfather An to shake his head over her incompetence. She is his granddaughter yet she has no talent of fight.
Xiulan wondered why she is losing when suddenly her stomach gave a signal.
She is hungry!
Xiulan and little Che looked at each other and both ran as fast as they can to reach the forest and catch as many hunts to eat as they can. In the last few days, they have been sparring, cultivating, and farming altogether to make a life here in this village.
Grandfather An when disclosed that they need to make a proper life here and grandfather Chu said about his 100-mu empty land which is apt for farming is plainly there, they both looked at each other and worked as hard as they can to earn money.
Xiulan decided to employ some farmers while she also hired some labour to make a well and long shed.
Little Che and Xiulan both worked hard to make a living in this village for grandfather An as soon they will have to leave for cultivation as ordered by Grandfather An. This is the rule for cultivators of every kind, they have to roam the world to reach higher positions and attain great heights. Xiulan and little Che would have to do the same after 6 months as grandfather An would like Xiulan to meet her father who will be coming here according to grandfather An and Xiulan should join him in his journey.
Xiulan looked at the seeds in her hand and checked them nicely to make sure she isn't getting the short end of the stick here.
"it will be 1200 copper coins." The vender said as he looked at the girl who was checking them carefully. At first, he thought he can rob the girl who looked from some high family as such person mostly does not know of crops and such but this girl was able to study each seed miraculously and even told him off if he doesn't give her good quality. She bought almost everything from his stall and he earned almost more than what he does in entire month.
Now he can buy his daughter the medicine she needs.
Xiulan and little Che returned from the market on foot without getting tired even as they held lots of bags of seeds and other necessities.
"Junior sister, we shall soak the seeds for now and should plant them tomorrow early morning, we are already late for the season." Little Che said and looked at Xiulan who nodded at him and both with the help of housekeeper started soaking the seeds while Xiulan added a drop of spiritual water in every bucket as the seeds were left to soak. Nobody noticed how the water that was lifeless now gleamed and shined with energy. It looked so beautiful.
All that was left is to wait for next day to come, so that she could start a business that will help her grandfather to live a good life.
In these few days, she has joked with this crafty grandfather of hers who loves to show off and would always try to look cool every time she sees him and honestly, she finds that super adorable.
There are times when he would hold his chest and shout at her saying how fragile his heart is and how he should eat more to live longer. He is on tier 4 level one of mortal world and can't advance further unless he goes to cultivation but on this level, he can already live for more than 200 years and he is only 75 years old for now.
And he still says he has to eat to live longer…
Such behaviour on such an old man is peculiar…
Xiulan's lips raised into a pretty smile as she woke up the next say and ran with little Che to start with planting when a little kid ran behind them but couldn't stop his legs at time and toppled all over Xiulan who fell on the ground and looked at Weicheng who ran behind them in astonishment. This little guy has already reached the cultivation tier 1 level 6 and is as fine as a child can be.
Xiulan asked the system why the child is ill but system said 'YOUR LEVEL TOO LOW TO ASK QUESTIONS FROM THIS SYSTEM'
Xiulan smiled coyly and said "So, I have to get a new system it seems…���
She let Alvina know that they need a new system who got a hammer and was moving towards the cottage with the most vulgar expression on her face.
The system finally understood the gravity of the moment and agreed to help Xiulan on his own initiative. At least that's what the system made itself think.
THE CHILD WAS GIVEN POISION AND HAVE TO BE GIVEN THE THIRD TIER PILL OF ROSE TEAR WHICH CAN IRRADICATE THE POISION INSIDE HIS BODY.
Xiulan nodded her head and gave him the pill before gently holding his hand and giving him her spiritual key to absorb the pill easily without disturbing his already weak physique.
The child smiled at her and said "I will follow you, elder sister, even if death awaits on that path."
His words just got him a flick on forehead from Xiulan but those words brought a smile on grandfather Chu's face. He knew this child wants to follow the girl for food greed and gratitude. This child of his will be able to reach great heights with his elder sister.
