After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 306 Meeting the Parents

"Xiao Yi, when did you and the village chief become so close?" That night, Shen Xu asked Li Xiao Yi curiously as he lay on the bed beside him.

"Grandma Dang is a very nice person, not a difficult person to get along with."

“I can tell that. What I’m curious about is why you would take the initiative to chat with a stranger, an old lady.”

I thought you were someone who kept everyone at arm's length, but I never imagined there was someone in this world you could open up to.

"So you also think I have ulterior motives!" Li Xiaoyi's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I absolutely did not mean that, I was just a little surprised," Shen Xu quickly explained.

“Tell me why you want the Longevity Pill, and I’ll tell you why I’m close to Granny Dang.”

Shen Xu was somewhat surprised by Li Xiaoyi's answer; he hadn't expected her to care so much about his affairs. However, he didn't need to hide Wang Bo's situation from Li Xiaoyi, since she would soon find out about his background if she wanted to.

"My parents died shortly after I was born. Uncle Wang raised me, and the longevity pills were also for him."

Is he important to you?

"He is very important; he is my only family member in this world."

"Can I go see him?" Li Xiaoyi suddenly asked.

"Uh? This isn't appropriate!"

What's wrong with it?

"This..." He certainly couldn't say that he had promised to bring a wife back to Uncle Wang, otherwise Li Xiaoyi might want to go even more, but he didn't want Li Xiaoyi to go!

"Let's talk about this after we get out of here! It's your turn to answer my question." Left with no other option, he could only change the subject.

Li Xiaoyi did not intend to press further, but instead slowly said, "My maternal grandmother and Granny Dang are very similar. They both have a sharp tongue but a kind heart, so the first thing I thought of when I saw Granny Dang was my maternal grandmother."

Although she always brought up the fact that I killed my mother every time she came, she was the only one in my family who truly cared for me.

My mother's family is in Ningchuan, and she used to come to Xingchuan to take care of me often when I was little, but my maternal grandmother hasn't come to Ningchuan in recent years.

After listening to Li Xiaoyi's words, Shen Xu suddenly realized that this was the first time he had heard Li Xiaoyi talk about her family.

However, since Li Xiaoyi had never mentioned her maternal grandmother to him in her previous life, he didn't know what had happened to her maternal grandmother.

Have you ever thought about visiting Ningchuan Region?

"My current strength is too weak; the Sword Alliance will not allow me to travel across realms."

"I think you can ask the Sword Alliance for help. The Sword Alliance should agree to your request. As for the security issue, the Sword Alliance will definitely make arrangements for you."

You are a free person, not their property.

Will you come with me?

"Uh..." Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little troubled as the topic of meeting the parents came up again.

"Wait, that's not right! Ningchuan Domain!"

It seemed like fleeing to Ningchuan Domain might not be a bad idea. He remembered that Ningchuan Domain was the largest domain in Ningzhou, and the Ningchuan Sect, a second-grade sect, controlled the three most prosperous domains in Ningzhou.

The "Ning" in Ningzhou comes from Ningchuan Sect, and other major regions include the character "Chuan" in their domain names to show their submission to Ningchuan Sect.

If he could take this opportunity to send Uncle Wang to Ningchuan as well...

However, Su Jing seems to be a problem.

"Damn! What a great opportunity!" He was now determined to kill Su Jing.

“Okay! I can go with you!” Shen Xu replied with utmost seriousness.

It wasn't just because he wanted to scout things out first, but also to test whether Su Jing was targeting him.

"Are you really going to come with me?" Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

“This is a rare opportunity. If you could help me pay for the teleportation fee, I would also like to see what the largest domain in Ningzhou is like,” Shen Xu replied with a smile.

"Dream on. But you already owe me so many Nourishing Yuan Pills, so owing me a little more won't make a difference." A smile crept onto Li Xiaoyi's face.

"No way, I'm still drowning in debt! The kind that's going to kill me." Shen Xu felt a pang of bitterness when he thought of the teleportation array pattern on his chest.

"Besides me, who else do you owe a debt to?" Li Xiaoyi asked with some confusion.

"Kun Yuan Secret Realm." Shen Xu sighed softly.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Xiao Yi, do you know the value of the Yuan Liquid in the Condensation Pool of the Kun Yuan Secret Realm?"

"The extremely pure Yuan liquid in the Condensation Pool is extremely rare in the world and can be described as priceless."

Oh, right, I forgot to ask you, why didn't you teleport out with everyone else?

"Because the jade hairpin on your head absorbed most of the Yuan liquid in my Yuan Condensation Pool, I was trapped inside by the manager of the Kun Yuan Secret Realm. He only released me after I promised to return the same amount of Yuan liquid to him."

"Your Yuan Condensation Pool? This hairpin absorbed half of the Yuan Liquid in the Yuan Condensation Pool? There are even managers in the Kun Yuan Secret Realm?" Li Xiaoyi's eyes were full of doubt. She felt that she and Shen Xu had entered different Yuan Condensation Pools.

"I just wanted to try it out, who knew that the jade hairpin could absorb so much."

"How come I haven't heard about this?" Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but frown.

“I was all alone there. How could you have known if I hadn’t told you? If I hadn’t given you the jade hairpin, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.”

"You mean you've taken over an entire Qi Condensation Pool all by yourself!" Li Xiaoyi's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Aren't you guys like that?" This time it was his turn to be confused.

“The Condensation Pools in the five Kunyuan Palaces are connected. I shared one Condensation Pool with Bai Luqingyun and the other four, a total of ten people,” Li Xiaoyi said slowly.

"This?" Shen Xu suddenly felt a little ashamed. The manager of the Kunyuan Secret Realm had given him special treatment, but he had turned the tables on them. No wonder he was teleported to the depths of Qinghu Lake.

"How big is your Qi Condensation Pool?"

"About ten feet square."

“The ten of us used a ten-foot square Yuan Liquid pool, which means you alone consumed most of that pool. It’s a miracle you survived,” Li Xiaoyi exclaimed.

"It wasn't me, it was Qingzan! I really didn't expect it to be so absorbent," Shen Xu immediately explained.

"You should be able to produce it, right?" Li Xiaoyi said quietly.

"That's...okay!"

"I admit I was a bit greedy back then, but I have to pay the price, right? It's just that the price is a bit heavy, I don't know if you can..."

"I kept asking why you were willing to give me this hairpin. So this was what you were waiting for. But words are no proof. A hairpin that has absorbed half a pool of primordial liquid is still so ordinary. I find it hard to believe your words."

Li Xiaoyi pulled out the jade hairpin and began to examine it carefully under the lamplight.

"That's the truth. There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. It seems I'll have to pay back the Yuan Liquid myself." Shen Xu sighed softly. He was just trying it out and didn't intend to force Li Xiaoyi to pay off his debts.

Just then, Shen Xu suddenly saw the jade hairpin, surrounded by Li Xiaoyi's energy, emitting a soft blue glow and quietly floating in front of her chest.

This made him frown. He had tried to infuse the hairpin with vital energy before, but it didn't have the same effect.

"Could it be that the secret of this jade hairpin will be revealed by Li Xiaoyi today?" Thinking of this, Shen Xu couldn't help but shake his head. This was a nightmare.

In any case, the final interpretation right is in his hands, and the maker and time of the jade hairpin are also secrets!
