After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Inside Dragon Hidden City, Xu Maoye stared at the inn in front of him and said, "Slowly, we're not tired, so we don't need to stop and rest. We can just go straight into the Dragon Hidden Mountains."

Xu Qingman explained, "Grandfather, Jinchen and I are going to the City Lord's Mansion to visit two friends and ask them if they want to come back with us."

The old man nodded knowingly. "Is he that Daoist Lei's junior brother? Alright, we should ask him, after all, we're from the same place."

After settling in at the inn, Xu Qingman and her husband split up. Yu Jinchen went to the city lord's mansion to find Meng Nanchuan and Lan Sinian, while Xu Qingman took Xiao Shitou and his sister to continue their shopping spree.

Xu Qinghe, on the other hand, was left at the inn to take care of the elders.

Seeing that they had bought almost everything, Xu Shuyin (since forming their Nascent Soul, the siblings had forbidden their family from calling them by their nicknames) suggested, "Mother, Uncle said that many cultivators set up stalls on Changping Street outside Longyin City every day. Shall we go and take a look?"

"Want to go play? Okay, since we can't leave today anyway, Mom will take you to play."

Since Xiao Shitou reached the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps he gradually remembered the events of his previous two lives, becoming increasingly taciturn, yet also increasingly sensible.

Xu Qingman had asked him if he wanted to go back and visit, but he refused, saying that he hadn't figured out how to face his former family.

Furthermore, he said he prefers the current family atmosphere, because in his previous family, apart from his grandfather, everyone was cold and distant, with no affection whatsoever.

This made Xu Qingman feel even more sorry for the child. In her previous life, because of her foolishness, he had suffered for several years. In the life before that, she could see that the child's willingness to leave was also due to the deep hurt he had suffered at the hands of his family.

"Shuyi, is there anywhere you want to go? Tell your mother, and I'll take you there."

Xu Shuyi shook his head. "Mother, I don't have any particular place I want to go. Let's go shopping on Changping Street with my sister first."

Xu Shuyi looked at the worry in his mother's eyes and knew that his parents had been worried about him recently because of his condition.

He only recently remembered that in his previous life, his parents weren't too busy cultivating to take care of him. Rather, they had died when he was five years old due to a power struggle among relatives.

The murderer was his own uncle. Although his grandfather loved him, he didn't want him to avenge his parents. Seeing that his cultivation was getting higher and higher, he found an excuse to hastily send him to another world.

The stone space, on the other hand, can be considered a form of compensation from his grandfather.

He could understand his grandfather; after all, his eldest uncle was his only child after his father passed away. Besides, his eldest uncle had given him three grandsons.

Although he understood his grandfather's actions, he would not acknowledge him as his father again. As for the revenge for his parents, he would still seek it. However, he would spare the lives of his three cousins, as a way of repaying his grandfather's kindness in raising him.

However, he was unwilling to tell his current parents about these things, and when he was upset, he could only remain silent.

However, Xu Shuyi silently made up his mind to put these things aside for the time being. His parents loved him so much, and he couldn't let them keep worrying about him.

"Fellow Daoist, what should we do with these iron beads?"

While Xu Qingman and her daughter were still leisurely strolling around, Xu Shuyi had already squatted down to ask the price.

I've never seen this kid so interested in anything before.

Although he pretended to be indifferent, Xu Qingman, as his mother, could tell from the gleam in his eyes that he must have figured something out.

"If you like these ten beads, you can give me five high-grade spirit stones in total."

Seeing that someone was finally interested, the Golden Core cultivator at the stall immediately offered a price. In fact, he himself didn't know what it was, and none of his friends could tell either.

He couldn't sense any trace of spiritual energy from it; he'd just picked it up by chance in a cave. He decided he'd sell it even if the other party only offered him two or three mid-grade spirit stones.

"Here you go, five high-grade spirit stones."

"Oh, okay, okay, fellow Daoist, take it."

The stall owner smiled and put the spirit stones back into his storage bag; these would be enough for him for another two or three months. Had he run into a young master from a powerful family today? He didn't even bother to haggle over the price.

"Hey, wait a minute, I've got my eye on those beads. Name your price."

Xu Shuyi was about to return to his mother and sister when he was stopped by a Foundation Establishment female cultivator.

Xu Shuyi frowned and slightly parted her lips, "Not for sale, move aside."

"What do you mean? Do you know who my father is? In this Dragon Hidden City, I've never seen anyone dare to refuse me."

"You should ask your mother who your father is, why are you asking me?"

"You just wait," the Foundation Establishment female cultivator said fiercely, and stormed into the city.

As the stall owner packed up, he advised him, "Young man, you'd better find a way to leave Dragon Hidden City quickly. That woman is the eldest daughter of the Han family. If you offend her, you'll be in big trouble."

At this moment, Xu Qingman and her daughter noticed something was wrong and came over. "What happened?"

"Mom, that woman tried to force me to buy her things. I refused, and she threatened to make me pay."

Xu Shuyi looked somewhat bewildered. His own things—if he didn't sell them, he'd offend people? This Han family must not be any good; otherwise, how could they have raised such a daughter?

“Senior, your young master has offended the eldest daughter of the Han family. Although your family is also a wealthy family, this is still Dragon Hidden City. You should try to leave.”

After saying this, the stall owner immediately prepared to leave. The Han family wasn't exactly known for their reasoning; he figured he'd better go back to the countryside to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Seeing the man's appearance, Xu Qingman immediately understood that he was afraid of the Han family and was preparing to run away.

She pulled out a handful of high-grade spirit stones, about a dozen or so, and stuffed them into the stall owner's hand. Regardless, this whole mess was caused by her son; he probably wouldn't dare set up his stall here for a while.

"Thank you, senior. The Han family can be considered a local power in Dragon Hidden City. Their ancestor has already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and has always doted on his only great-granddaughter. You should still be careful."

The stall owner didn't want the spirit stones at first, but thinking of his youngest son who had dual spiritual roots but lacked the opportunity to leave the city and join a sect due to a lack of spirit stones, he accepted them anyway.

Before leaving, however, he told the other party some important information about the Han family, as a reward for providing this information.

"Mom, am I in trouble?"

Xu Qingman patted him and comforted him, "It's alright, son. Our family doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Have you forgotten that our family also has two Nascent Soul cultivators? Don't be afraid."

"Yes, brother, our parents are amazing. They only have two children, so they definitely won't let you be bullied by outsiders."

Xu Shuyi, who was initially a little worried, was amused by her sister's words and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The mother and her two children were just about to return to the inn when they saw the cultivator from earlier chasing after them with a burly man in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Uncle, this is the kid who bullied me."
