Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

Chapter 7: Encountering the First Spatial Coordinate Point

After washing up, Hong Fei came to the living room and found that Hua Manlou was already up and watering the flowers on his balcony. Hong Fei walked over to Hua Manlou and greeted him.

Good morning, Brother Hua!

Hua Manlou put down the kettle. Turning to Hong Fei, he said, "Good morning, Hong Fei. Why are you up so early? Did you get enough rest?"

"I've rested well. I'll get up when I wake up."

"Are you hungry? Let's have breakfast when you're up."

"it is good!"

Hongfei sat down at the table with Hua Manlou. Servants then brought out breakfast. Breakfast consisted of porridge, several meat buns, and a few side dishes. The side dishes were pickled and crisp. It was a really good breakfast.

After breakfast, Hong Fei felt a bit listless, unsure of what to do. Finding a successor couldn't be done blindly; it had to be done gradually. Hua Manlou seemed to sense Hong Fei's boredom, smiled, and stood up to walk to her side.

"Is Hongfei bored? How about we go out for a walk?"

Hongfei, upon hearing Hua Manlou's invitation, realized she had never experienced an ancient market. Since arriving in this world and meeting Lu Xiaofeng, she had been preoccupied with traveling. This was a perfect opportunity to go out and explore.

“Great! I haven’t gone out for a stroll yet.” Hongfei said, standing up.

"Then let's go." Hua Manlou extended his hand to Hong Fei, who looked at him in confusion. Hua Manlou sensed that I wouldn't move, so he said, "Hold hands, or we'll get separated."

Hongfei opened her mouth. Looking at her small body, she realized it was true. She was too small; she could easily get lost. So she placed her right hand in Hua Manlou's.

Hua Manlou quickly took Hongfei's small hand in his and gently led her out of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

Baihua Tower was located in the heart of Yangzhou city. Stepping out of the tower, one was on the street. The street was bustling with people. Most of the shops on both sides were open, with only a few still closed. Hua Manlou chose a direction and led Hongfei forward. Hongfei followed, looking around with wide-eyed wonder. There were so many street vendors! They sold everything imaginable: glutinous rice balls, sugar figurines, candied hawthorns, kites, noodles, and cakes. Truly, everything imaginable was available! Hongfei's eyes were only drawn to the food.

Hongfei pulled Hua Manlou to a vendor selling candied hawthorns. "Brother Hua, I want to eat candied hawthorns!"

“Okay!” Hua Manlou replied.

"Give me a skewer of candied hawthorns. How much is one skewer?" Hua Manlou asked.

"One coin per string. How many strings do you want?" the vendor replied.

Hongfei took out two coins from her backpack and handed them over. "Give me two skewers." At this moment, Hua Manlou also took out two coins and handed them to the vendor. The vendor looked at the money being handed to him and didn't know whose money to take. Hongfei saw that Hua Manlou had also taken out money, so she said to him, "Brother Hua, I have money."

When Hua Manlou heard Hong Fei say that she was rich, he just smiled and said to Hong Fei, "Hong Fei is visiting Brother Hua's house, shouldn't Brother Hua also show her some hospitality?"

“But Brother Hua, Hongfei is already staying at your house, which is a lot of trouble for you. It would be so ungrateful of me to use your money again,” Hongfei said firmly. Hongfei still had tens of thousands of gold bricks in her backpack? According to ancient prices, she was certainly not short of money. How could Hongfei possibly accept someone else's money?

Hearing Hong Fei's firm voice, Hua Manlou paused for a moment and then smiled and said, "Then let me pay today to show my hospitality. From now on, let Hong Fei spend her own money, okay?"

Hearing Hua Manlou's words, Hongfei didn't know what else to say and could only take back the money in her hand. She replied, "Alright! Let Brother Hua do his best to be a good host today. But not in the future."

“Okay!” Hua Manlou agreed.

Seeing that they had agreed, the vendor took the money from Hua Manlou's hand and handed Hong Fei two strings of candied hawthorns. Hong Fei took the candied hawthorns and offered one to Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou refused, telling Hong Fei to eat it herself. Seeing that Hua Manlou really didn't want it, Hong Fei had no choice but to eat it herself.

Hongfei followed Hua Manlou as she ate candied hawthorns. They wandered around, and time flew by. Before they knew it, it was noon. Hua Manlou led Hongfei to a restaurant located by the Slender West Lake.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the Jianwang 3 system started ringing. The sound was deafening in Hong Fei's mind. What was going on? Hong Fei opened the system in her mind to check. Her body followed Hua Manlou up to the second floor of the restaurant. Once on the second floor, they came to a window by the lake and sat down at a table by the window.

Hong Fei had more or less figured out the origin of the sound. Seeing Hua Manlou ordering food, she stood up and went to the window to look. She noticed a dock outside, with a red dot visible only to her. That red dot was a spatial coordinate; placing an array plate at that coordinate would open the corresponding sect's secret realm. She just didn't know which secret realm it was. Could it be her own sect, Seven Show Sect? After all, besides Seven Show Sect, the only other sect accessible through Yangzhou was Hidden Sword Manor. She wondered which sect this coordinate belonged to.

And how do I set up this coordinate point? My current body is only five years old. I live in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and my body looks too young. Hua Manlou wouldn't let me run around alone. Even if I wanted to sneak in, I shouldn't forget that Hua Manlou's martial arts are excellent. Moreover, his hearing is extremely sharp; I might not be able to hide it from him. It seems this matter needs careful consideration.

After thinking it through, Hong Fei returned to her seat. Hua Manlou assumed Hong Fei was looking at the scenery outside and didn't pay much attention; after all, she was a child, curious about everything!

After lunch, Hongfei slowly followed Hua Manlou back to Baihualou. By the time they returned, it was already past mid-afternoon. Sitting down in a chair, Hongfei was completely exhausted and sighed, "Shopping is so tiring!"

Hua Manlou chuckled; the man had been so energetic just moments before. He could only shake his head helplessly.

"Why don't you go and rest for a while? We'll call you when it's time for dinner," Hua Manlou suggested.

"Well, forget it. It won't be long before dinner. I'll just sit and rest for a bit," Hong Fei replied weakly.

Just then, a servant ran over and said something to Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou stood up and said to Hongfei, "I still have some things to take care of. You can play by yourself for a while. If you get tired, go and rest. I'll have someone call you for dinner. Don't wander around. If you need anything, you can call a servant."

Hongfei, seeing that Hua Manlou had things to do, said to him, "I can manage on my own, you go ahead. I won't wander around. I'll call the servants if anything happens." She really treats me like a child. Ugh, what a rip-off!
