A mother and daughter were setting up a stall on the street. The woman was fanning her daughter with a palm-leaf fan. They had just set up the stall to sell osmanthus cakes and there were not many customers.

"How much is this osmanthus cake?" Xu Yeyu walked up to them and asked.

After the woman saw who was coming, she quickly stood up and saluted Xu Yeyu. She and her daughter were saved by him when they were having dinner at the inn today.

"Hello, big brother."

"If you want to eat, just take whatever you want. It's free."

Xu Yeyu took out ten coins from his pocket and put them in the little girl's hand: "How many pieces of osmanthus cake can you buy with ten coins?"

The little girl thought for a moment, then answered, "Big brother, ten cents can buy five pieces of osmanthus cakes, two cents each."

"Xiaoqing, quickly return the money to big brother. You can't accept his money." The woman hurriedly stopped him.

The little girl looked at her mother in confusion and asked, "Why? Didn't mother tell us to charge customers for buying osmanthus cake? Isn't big brother a customer?"

The woman didn't know how to answer for a moment. Her daughter was still young and didn't understand the ways of the world. She only knew that she had to pay for things.

"Your mother is embarrassed to accept my money. You will know the reason when you grow up." Xu Yeyu said.

The little girl couldn't figure it out so she stopped thinking about it. Her mother told her that she would understand many things when she grows up, and this one was no different now.

She packed five pieces of osmanthus cakes and raised them with both hands to Xu Yeyu.

Xu Yeyu took the osmanthus cake, and the little girl asked curiously: "Big brother, are you going to eat five osmanthus cakes by yourself?"

Xu Yeyu smiled and said, "It's for two people."

A figure approached Xu Yeyu and asked, "Is there a portion for me? If not, I can buy two pieces of osmanthus cake for myself.

Xu Yeyu smiled and replied: "I bought it just for you. I can't eat five pieces of osmanthus cake by myself."

He took out a piece of osmanthus cake and handed the rest to Xia Xiaomo.

"How did you know I was coming?" Xia Xiaomo asked curiously.

"I can feel my life card approaching. Anyone who can come to look for someone with the life card of a Sunset Sect disciple is either a Sunset Sect disciple or an elder of the Sunset Sect. The elders probably won't look for me at this time, so I thought of you."

Xia Xiaomo ate osmanthus cake and asked, "There are so many disciples in the Sunset Sect, why do you think I came to find you?"

Xu Yeyu devoured the osmanthus cake in one gulp.

"In fact, I saw you when you were just two blocks away from me."

The girl in white stopped eating the osmanthus cake.

I thought you were going to come up with some theory, but it turns out you've already seen me. Can you please return my seriousness to me?

Xia Xiaomo just noticed Xu Yeyu's realm. When she first met Xu Yeyu, his realm was only half a step into the foundation-building stage.

He has only joined Sunset Sect for a few months, how come he has already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment?

"How did your realm improve so quickly?"

"Your realm breakthrough is also very fast."

Xu Yeyu didn't expect that she would break through to the Foundation Breaking Realm so quickly.

When he first saw the girl, she was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. After a few months, she had reached Foundation Breaking Stage.

"Did you come to Baizhu County because you accepted the sect's commission?" Xu Yeyu asked.

"It's not convenient to talk about it here."

Xu Yeyu nodded. Some things are indeed not suitable to be said in public.

If other people hear it, it may spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and something unexpected may happen.

You can't receive a commission from a wanted criminal, and then discuss it with people on the street and be heard by many passers-by.

This causes the wanted criminal to know in advance that someone is looking for him, and then escape?

"We'll leave first so as not to disturb your business. The osmanthus cake is delicious. I'll come and buy it next time I have a chance."

The two slowly left the sight of the mother and daughter. The little girl asked her mother curiously: "Mom, is that big sister also a monk?"

"Yes, those two are different from us. They can do amazing things."

"Can I become a monk in the future? I also want to be a monk and protect my mother." The little girl said excitedly.

"Silly girl, being a cultivator is not that easy. If you want to try, wait for me to save some money and take you to take the test, but you must not go to the Hehuan Sect!"

"Why can't we go to the Hehuan Sect?" asked the little girl.

The mother stroked her daughter's head and said, "You will understand when you grow up."

The little girl wondered in her heart, why do there are so many things that we have to wait until we grow up to understand?

Is growing up really that magical?

......

......

Xu Yeyu and Xia Xiaomo came to a quiet street with few pedestrians, which was suitable for conversation.

Xia Xiaomo handed Xu Yeyu a commission form from the Sunset Sect. He took the form and looked at the contents on it.

"I accepted a commission from a sect. A group of lifeless dead people appeared in Baizhu County recently. Government officials speculated that it might be a demon that sneaked into the county." Xia Xiaomo said.

A demon of unknown origin entering a human city would cause panic among ordinary people, so this matter has been hidden by the government.

This speculation is not groundless, because some demon tribes mainly rely on absorbing human vitality and energy to improve their own cultivation.

Monsters can also enter human towns, but the prerequisite is that they must have a monster pass. Monsters that enter human towns without a monster pass are illegal residents and will be wanted by the government.

"This commission was sent to the Sunset Sect ten days ago. It did not specify the person or place that the government suspected. I am planning to go to the government to find out the situation and see if they have found any suspicious places in the past few days."

Xu Yeyu raised his head. Xia Xiaomo knew from his action that he was looking at something she couldn't see.

In the fictional memory of the fourth level of the secret tomb, he also looked up and spoke of the yin energy that she could not see.

In the secret realm of Moonworm Valley, Xia Xiaomo guessed from Xu Yeyu's answer that he was a cultivator with sword eyes, so he could see things that she couldn't see.

Xu Yeyu showed a puzzled expression, lowered his head and asked Xia Xiaomo: "Have you ever seen a county town protected by a formation before?"

"I haven't seen it yet. I heard that only some special counties and counties near the imperial city are protected by formations." Xia Xiaomo replied.

Xu Yeyu continued to look up. Is there anything special about Baizhu County?

"What's wrong?" Xia Xiaomo asked.

"Nothing. I found the monster you were looking for. But that place should not be open yet. We will go there at night, so you don't have to go to the government office to get information."

Xia Xiaomo originally thought that it would take some time to investigate before she could find out which demon had sneaked into Baizhu County.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yeyu found it as soon as he looked up.
