Chapter 95 Do Not Hurt, Do Not Worry
Aside from Wu Qi's matter, the Wang family didn't show any intention of asking him for anything until the end of the banquet. It seemed they really just wanted to get closer to him, which made him realize that he had been judging others by his own petty standards.
Lying in bed, Shen Xu couldn't help but think of the conversation at the banquet. Wu Qi's background was actually related to Zhongzhou, which was really beyond his expectations.
Could Wu Qi be the illegitimate son of a holy maiden from some sacred site, or a prince from some dynasty who has been separated from his family? If so, that would be quite interesting.
However, Zhongzhou is still too far away from him, both in terms of cultivation level and distance.
Shen Xu wondered where Butler Qi had placed the two little ones. He wondered what Uncle Wang's expression would be if he saw that he had brought back a boy and a girl. He was suddenly looking forward to it.
The next morning, Shen Xu got up very early. Since he was taking the two children back, he couldn't walk anymore, so he planned to borrow a carriage from the Wang family and a coachman as well.
Although he had gotten up very early, Wu Qi seemed to have gotten up even earlier. Without Wu Qi's guidance, he couldn't just wander around the complex Wang family compound, so he had no choice but to wait for Wu Qi's return in the courtyard.
Whether it's due to the influence of the vital energy or the special geographical location, the temperature in the Qingzhu Mountains is very suitable all year round. Only some special areas show the characteristics of different seasons. In fact, the temperature in Qingzhu City near Qingzhu Peak doesn't change at all throughout the year. Although it's almost the end of the year, it's still spring here, which makes Shen Xu feel that it lacks a bit of the New Year's atmosphere. Winter is still the most suitable season for the New Year.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged by the pond in the courtyard, feeling the ripples on the water as the wind blew. Since the sect leader said that the opportunity would only be open to him if he mastered the Sixfold Waves, then his goal for the near future was the Sixfold Waves. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great pity to miss the opportunity that was right in front of him?
However, he still had no clue how to successfully perform the Sixfold Wave. He had asked Elder Huang, but the library did not have the cultivation method for the Fourfold Wave of the Overlapping Wave Sword Technique.
"Young Master Shen, I've brought you breakfast."
Suddenly, he heard a very cautious voice reach his ears, and the ripples he had created in his mind were immediately interrupted and disappeared without a trace.
When Shen Xu opened his eyes, he found that Butler Qi had brought two little ones, who had changed into new clothes, to him.
"Steward Qi, this kind of thing can be handled by a servant; there's no need for you to come in person."
"Young Master Shen, you are an honored guest. My master specifically instructed me to fulfill all your needs. Although delivering meals is a small matter, I would not feel at ease if I did not come in person!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Butler Qi. Have they eaten yet?"
"We've eaten. We each had a bowl of meat porridge and two eggs."
"Okay! Just put the food box here."
"I wonder if Young Master Shen has any further instructions? If not, then I shall take my leave."
"Butler Qi, do you know where Wu Qi went? I wanted to say goodbye to him before I left."
"I really don't know, but Young Master Shen, you should wait a while before leaving! I reckon Young Master Wu will be back soon."
"Alright! I'll wait for him for a while."
After Butler Qi left, the boy led the girl to Shen Xu's side.
"My sister and I want a name. Butler Qi asked us what our names are, but we don't have any. If we don't have a name, we can't tell him. Before we leave, I want to tell him our names!" the boy said earnestly.
"Didn't you have names before?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't remember my name. I only remember that she is my sister, but my sister doesn't seem to be able to talk." The boy's mood became a little down when he said this.
"Can't speak?" Shen Xu's gaze turned to the little girl. This was the first time he had seriously observed her. She was wearing a light green dress, with a delicate and cute face, shiny black hair, and bright, lively eyes. It was clear that the boy had protected her very well.
Can she hear me?
Shen Xu saw the little girl nod slightly. It seemed the problem wasn't deafness, but rather a problem with her vocal system. However, he wasn't a doctor and had no solution for this condition. He could only take the little girl to see a good doctor when he found one.
"You want me to give you names?" Shen Xu asked to confirm.
The two little ones nodded at the same time.
"We need to be careful about choosing a name. Let me think about it..."
Shen Xu looked at the two children in front of him and fell into deep thought. It was a pity that they had never given him anything like Han Yue, otherwise it would have been easier to come up with a name.
After thinking for a while, Shen Xu slowly said to the boy, "I named him Wushang (meaning 'Do Not Hurt'). I heard that you always suffer serious injuries when you win, so I hope that you can defeat your enemies even without getting hurt."
I also hope you can show more compassion to those who are harmless to you, and refrain from hurting them.
Then Shen Xu smiled at the little girl and said, "The name I gave you is Wuyou (勿忧), which means that your brother has taken care of all your worries, so you don't need to worry about your future."
On the other hand, it means I hope you can be strong, have the ability to protect yourself, and not let your brother worry about you.
"How about it? Aren't the names I picked for you two pretty good?" He had racked his brains trying to come up with good names for the two of them.
"Don't hurt me, don't worry, little sister." The boy immediately grinned foolishly, and seeing her brother's smile, the little sister also smiled sweetly.
"Then what should I call you, Master?"
"Just call me Brother Xu. I'm not much older than you," Shen Xu replied with a smile.
"Can we use your surname?"
"Of course you can use it if you want!"
"Then I'll be called Shen Wushang, and my sister will be called Shen Wuyou!"
"Shen Xu, you didn't even consult me before naming them. At least I deserve credit for rescuing them! You didn't even leave one for me," Wu Qi said, walking in from outside with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Haha, too bad I've already got it, you won't have a chance!"
"Don't be sad or worried. This is Wu Qi, your other brother. If I'm not around in the future, go to him if you need anything. He will do his best to help you," Shen Xu told the two of them.
"Don't hurt me, come and call me Brother Wu, and I'll buy you candy." Wu Qi tempted her with candy.
"Tch!" Wu Shang turned her head away.
Wuyou seemed a little tempted, but she couldn't speak, and after seeing her brother's performance, she immediately sided with him.
"Look, this brat has corrupted Wuyou. Shen Xu, you'd better keep an eye on him!"
"Wu Qi, what are you doing up so early?"
"Of course, this is to prepare things for you to take when you leave. Come with me, all of you!"
"I'll eat breakfast first; I can't let Butler Qi's kindness go to waste," Shen Xu replied.
In front of the Wang family's main gate, a luxurious carriage drawn by two imposing, tall horses covered in jet-black scales slowly approached Shen Xu.
"Well... Uncle, a regular carriage will suffice; there's really no need to send out the Black-Scaled Horse," Shen Xu quickly refused.
"It's not like I'm giving it to you, I'm just taking you to Yunlong City. Hurry up and go! If we set off now, we can reach Yunlong City before dark at the speed of the Black-Scaled Horse," Wu Qi urged.
“Nephew, Wu Qi is right. It would take two days to travel on an ordinary horse. You can endure that, but the two children can’t. You shouldn’t refuse.”
"Junior Brother Shen, there are some clothes we prepared for the two children in the carriage. Don't forget to take them out when we get there," Wang Bu instructed.
"Shen Xu, we'll see each other again soon." Wang Ya's last words left Shen Xu somewhat confused.
"I will never forget your kindness," Shen Xu said, bowing to the crowd, who returned the bow.
"Weren't you going to say goodbye to Butler Qi?" Shen Xu said to the two children.
"Butler Qi, my name is Shen Wushang, and this is my sister Shen Wuyou. We siblings thank you for taking care of us yesterday."
Wu Shang followed Shen Xu's example and bowed to Steward Qi. Wu You saw her brother doing the same and also bowed to Steward Qi.
Everyone burst into laughter at the sight, but Steward Qi's eyes glistened with tears. Among them, only he knew what the two children had gone through and how difficult it had been for them to achieve this result.
