A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 478: Light Appears in the Eyes

They said that this hunter was nosy and didn't leave any food for them. What's wrong with these two old guys even wanting to beat people up?

The old man was about to pick up the axe when the old woman stopped him. "It's better to have less trouble than more. We still have a little grandson to take care of. We have been hiding for so many years. We can't cause any more trouble."

"Give as much as you like! Anything is fine. We're far from town, and we can't spend much."

Qiqi understood that this was her mother-in-law's way of saying they didn't need money. She watched her grandfather weeding in the distance, observing them. He didn't come over, mainly because he was wary of the three men. They were standing not far from where he was weeding.

Qiqi took out some spirit stones and handed them to her mother-in-law. When she saw her mother-in-law, a light appeared in her eyes. This was because her mother-in-law needed spirit stones, which could help them practice.

Grandma looked at them and saw they were still top-grade spirit stones. "These are enough. Take a look at these herbs and see if you like them. We don't need the spirit stones." She led Qiqi to look at the herbs. Qiqi selected some. She was afraid Grandma wouldn't accept the spirit stones, so she was helping them in disguise.

Qiqi asked the old woman, "Grandma, did you buy these herbs from a small town outside?"

"No, we exchanged with some hunters. They brought us some salt at the foot of the mountain, and we gave them these herbs for external injuries. They hunt frequently and get injured frequently. These herbs are their life-saving herbs."

"Mother-in-law, we're giving you salt. Please give it all to us! We have young people at home who can use it. Here's some salt. Keep it safe and don't let anyone else find it. We made it ourselves."

Qiqi asked Kong Ling to take a plastic bag, unpack all the salt, and put it in the plastic bag. She said this because she was afraid the old man would ask questions.

The old woman's hands trembled when she saw the fine salt. "You are giving this to us. Such fine salt is really good. Give it all to us."

"Grandma, these are all for you. Please put them away quickly! How can you live here? There are all kinds of tigers and wild beasts in the mountains. You also have a little grandson. He is old enough to learn and needs to go to school too."

"It was all my unfilial son's fault. He spent all his money on eating, drinking and having fun, and even bought his wife. My wife and I helped him pay off his gambling debts and brought his daughter-in-law back. We then let her go back to her parents' home."

My bastard son was eventually convicted and thrown into jail. He owed a lot of money to the gambling den. So, we, the old couple, had no choice but to bring our grandson here to avoid his gambling debts.

Oh, what an unfilial family! We have such a bastard son. We can't do anything! You said to beat him to death! Let's put an end to it all. We can't bear to do that! After all, he is our own flesh and blood. For the sake of our grandson, we can't kill his father! We have been hiding here for two years. I am not afraid of you laughing at me anymore.

I also feel that you are all good people, giving us so much salt."

"Grandma, have you ever thought about what will happen when you are old and your grandson is still young? There must be hunters here too! I saw the road down the mountain, it was polished and shiny, so I know they come here often. They won't bully you lonely old people, but they will take a fancy to your little grandson.

Mother-in-law, if you trust us, we will tell you to go to a place that is a sect, where you can stay and live without being bullied."

"Really? Can we? Do you believe us?"

"Grandma, why wouldn't you believe this? You can produce two 500-year-old ginseng roots, and you believe us, so why wouldn't we believe you? We know you're a cultivator. Whatever you want to do is easy, and you won't let these hunters bully you. But you haven't done it, and you're still living in poverty.

This proves that you have no cultivation at all. I don't know why you hide your cultivation, but you are not a bad person, mother-in-law."

My mother-in-law was a little wary and agitated. For years, no one knew they were cultivators. They had endured this in silence, and that was how their son became. It was all their fault. If they had taught their son cultivation earlier, he might not have become like that.

The mother-in-law called her husband over, and Zhou Jingze and the others also came over.

My mother-in-law told her husband about Qiqi asking them to go to a sect. "Can you tell me what sect it is?"

"The newly established sect is the Lingxiao Sect. It was established after we killed the leader of the Jingshan Sect."

"What? You destroyed the Jingshan Sect. The sect leader is dead." The old woman asked in surprise.

"Old woman, do you have a grudge against the leader of Jingshan Sect?"

The old woman fell into reminiscence. "My husband was the Peak Master of the Jingshan Sect. He was often sent out to buy things, and that's how he escaped being killed by the Sect Master. That year, several Peak Masters died at the hands of the Sect Master. Only he escaped. I also lived at the foot of the mountain, and I escaped with him. I heard that the old Sect Master was poisoned to death, and the Great Peak Master was beaten to death by him."

My mother-in-law's husband suddenly felt old, and he didn't want to recall these things.

"Mother-in-law, since you are from the Jingshan Sect, this makes things even easier. You must know Elder Zhao, right? He is now the deputy sect leader. You should go find him!"

"How can we have the face to go to Jingshan Sect? We ran away when Jingshan Sect was in trouble. How can we have the face to go back?" said my mother-in-law's husband in a depressed tone.

"Old man, you were no match for the former sect master back then. If you had gone up, you would have been throwing yourself at the stake. It would have been of no benefit to the sect. You can go back now and use your skills to educate the next generation. Grandma and your little grandson will have a place to live. They won't have to live in fear anymore."

"You'll have the resources to cultivate now. You can watch your grandson cultivate. "The big yellow dog isn't a dog, it's a wolfdog. You won't have to worry about it hurting people anymore. It understands human nature very well," Qiqi said.

"My dear, I think this girl is right. We have been wandering for so many years, and we should settle down in one place. We are old, and we should find a place for our grandson to live." The mother-in-law advised.

"Okay, we'll listen to you. I'm just worried what will happen if the sect doesn't accept us?"

"No, they are recruiting talents and will welcome you back. You can pack up today and come with us. We also want to take a look around and send you to the foot of Lingxiao Sect Mountain."

The old woman packed up her things. The old woman whistled. A big yellow dog came running back, carrying a three-year-old boy. The boy, still chewing on candy, happily slid off the dog. He looked so skilled. The dog must have carried him hundreds of times.
