Considering that Big Brother had just escaped a perilous situation, for now, no tasks would be assigned to him. Yaoyao would wait until his emotions stabilized before explaining things to him in detail.
I’m truly too sensible, Yaoyao thought, patting herself on the back with delight.
Seeing that everything was resolved, she tidied up and prepared to return ho alone.
Aunt Xu and the others still needed to stay behind to handle Big Brother’s school matters – though that would be tomorrow. However, the school was quite far from ho, so they planned to stay in a nearby hotel.
Without having to take two people along, Yaoyao traveled with ease.
However, as she approached the Gu family ho, she suddenly stopped.
Yaoyao’s small face turned serious, her gaze fixed on the dark alleyway ahead. Her childish voice carried a hint of coldness: "I found you! Co out!"
Whenever she used the Earth Shrinking Technique to travel, Yaoyao always chose more secluded routes to avoid bumping into people. Coupled with it being night, the surroundings were quiet, making sounds exceptionally clear.
"Oh, your spiritual sense is quite formidable. No wonder Tai Cang could only be suppressed and beaten by you."
"Excellent, this little doll of yours is truly excellent, hahahaha!"
An ancient voice followed closely from the alley, and a figure with a taiji bun erged. His facial features were unremarkable, like a grandfather from next door, with a white beard and hair. But his eyes were exceptionally sharp and full of spirit. With every step and movent, there was an aura of harmonious Taiji. He stopped two steps away, a smile gracing his face.
"Are you... Grandfather Xuan Qingzi from Wudang?"
Having entered the Ninth Tier, Yaoyao’s spiritual sense and spellcasting abilities had both taken a significant leap. Others might not have noticed, but she could sense the Eighth Tier aura emanating from the elder. Comparing it with his attire, it wasn’t hard to guess his identity.
"Is Grandfather Xuan here to get justice for Tai Cang?"
Yaoyao secretly clenched her tiny fists. She was sowhat glad she had broken through; otherwise, it might have been a bit dangerous. Because this elderly grandfather’s Eighth Tier aura was smooth and refined, coupled with Wudang’s external martial arts, no one in the sa realm should have been able to defeat him.
As for now? Yaoyao wasn’t afraid at all; on the contrary, she felt a little eager to try. If the other party dared to say he was there to avenge the Tai Cang Sect, she would beat him silly.
For so reason, Xuan Qingzi suddenly felt a chill down his spine under the gaze of the little doll before him.
This was a rare occurrence. He shook his head and said, "Get justice for what? That’s your grievance with Tai Cang. They don’t deserve for this old man to stand up for them."
Thinking of the Tai Cang Sect’s sches, Xuan Qingzi scoffed disdainfully. He had lived for so many years; how could he not see through such ager tricks? He originally didn’t want to interfere, but upon learning that the Eighth Tier expert who crashed their gates was a re toddler, he found himself unable to sit still.
"This old man ca down from the mountain this ti to befriend a young friend like you. If you are willing, this old man can personally vouch for you. From now on, your standing within the Xuann will be no different from mine."
"So, what do you think, young friend?"
This sudden shift left Yaoyao a bit flustered. Her small mind was sowhat confused.
"Grandfather... are you joking?"
It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand; it was just that the other party was the Foremost of Xuann. No one in the entire Xuann dared to disrespect him. And now he was saying he wanted to befriend her, and that her status would be equal to his?
Yaoyao imdiately looked wary. She rembered the old Daoist priest saying that "showing undue solicitude is either ill-intentioned or thieving." This old grandfather didn’t look like a good person at all!
"Young friend, if you have any concerns, please speak freely!"
How could Xuan Qingzi know that his image was so terrible? He stroked his white beard, his face full of candor as he spoke.
To be honest, he had initially thought about trying to trick her into becoming his disciple, but once he confird her age was indeed as rumored, that idea was dispelled. With such talent, he truly couldn’t bring himself to say such words.
However, if they couldn’t be master and disciple, he was still qualified to be an ally. Xuan Qingzi believed that his appearance as the Foremost of Xuann was sufficient to represent the Xuann’s attitude. As long as this little doll could na it, he could promise to resolve it.
However, in the next mont, his confident smile froze as he heard Yaoyao’s crisp voice pipe up.
"But... Grandfather, you’re too old. If I befriend you, I’ll beco very old too!"
As if afraid her aning wasn’t clear, Yaoyao added, "I don’t want to be an old grandma!"
Her serious tone clearly indicated that this was the result of careful consideration, not just an excuse to fool him.
"This... this..." Xuan Qingzi was dumbfounded. His status was high, and he could do many things.
But being old... what could anyone do about that?!
To put it unkindly, this little doll had completely blocked his path. Xuan Qingzi didn’t know what to say at that mont and could only stare blankly.
"Grandfather Xuan Qingzi, can we not be sworn friends and just be ordinary friends?"
Yaoyao scratched her head, a little embarrassed, feeling like she might have gone too far. Although she didn’t know what intentions the other party harbored, at least he hadn’t actually caused her any loss. Besides, he was so old, she should show respect to the elderly and care for the young.
So, Yaoyao thought for a mont and offered a roundabout answer.
Seventh Brother had told her that "ordinary friends" were friends who weren’t close; you could ignore them if you didn’t want to, which seed quite suitable. If the other party tried to sche against her, she could just pretend not to know him!
Able to advance and retreat freely, Yaoyao inwardly marveled at her own cleverness.
"Alright then. This old man rarely has ti to co down the mountain. I don’t have a place to stay yet. I wonder if I might impose upon your esteed residence for a few nights?"
Seeing that the other person had provided a ladder for him to step down, Xuan Qingzi knew that if he didn’t take it now, things would get troubleso. He wasn’t angry, after all, this little doll was too young and didn’t understand so things. He assud she hadn’t intentionally tried to make things difficult for him.
This "befriending" was actually just an excuse. The more important reason for his descent from the mountain this ti was to assess her character. Because an Eighth Tier’s ability was enough to disrupt public order. If this little doll had a malicious nature, born inherently evil, then he wouldn’t mind acting on behalf of Heaven.
Although Xuan Qingzi didn’t particularly care for the Special Operations Group, all living beings were innocent. He didn’t want to cause a Xuann calamity, and this was his responsibility as the Foremost of Xuann.
As for how to assess character, naturally, he would have to live under the sa roof. Only then would he have a way. Of course, this was because he couldn’t hide in the dark; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troubleso.
"You can! Yaoyao’s new ho is very big, Grandfather, you’ll definitely be able to stay there."
Yaoyao’s big eyes lit up slightly. She also didn’t want to have a shadow following her around all day.
Therefore, she wanted to figure out the other party’s intentions early. If he truly had malicious intentions, she would beat him flat.
And to observe, of course, they had to live together!
Yaoyao was originally wondering how to bring it up, but she didn’t expect the other party to suggest it first, so she readily agreed.
The old and the young, each with their own little calculations, yet by so twist of fate, their thoughts converged.
