CHAPTER 621: 621 DODGE

Tan Shaoting nodded, and the four of them followed inside. The door of the tower behind them closed automatically.

Tan Shaoting looked at the children beside him, feeling a bit regretful, but he also knew he couldn’t overprotect them. It’s best to let them try on their own.

In the previous life, the sect had a Trial Tower, and he knew the general situation inside, it would definitely not let cultivators die. If you can’t pass, you will be transported out.

Qi Yan felt a bit uncomfortable, as he was always accompanied by either his father or siblings before, and now he was alone.

He remembered his father’s instructions. He panicked briefly but quickly calmed down.

Qi Wen and Qi Hong were the same, focusing on passing the trial with peace of mind.

The three of them were not at the Qi Refining First Layer, but the Trial Tower would prepare the trial’s intensity based on each person’s cultivation.

Qi Yan faced a lightning attack as his first test. All four of them faced trials designed based on their true cultivation levels.

While the four of them were tackling the trials, Su Yuanyuan had already returned to the seaside retreat in another world.

Shao Huade was truly delighted to see his favorite son return.

When Su Yuanyuan arrived, she didn’t go anywhere else, just wanted to rest here for a while.

Mostly because the cook was really to her taste, and besides, it’s just the beginning of the lunar June, with more than a month left.

Furthermore, Zeng Zhenqing had already arranged a boat for her. Still, Wang Er and the others would sail her there.

"Xiao Su, how did it feel to go out this time?"

"Not bad."

"Xiao Su, what interests you the most? It seems there hasn’t been much change since you returned."

"For me, I suppose I’m interested in archaeology. If this attempt fails again, I think I’ll join an archaeology team or venture out on my own."

"A girl likes this?"

"Don’t you feel eager to know their stories every time a tomb is discovered?"

"Hmm, that’s true."

"Su Yuanyuan. I know a few places that were discovered earlier and reported. I guess someone will be sent to excavate them?"

"Thank you, if I get the chance, I’ll go check them out."

Shao Hongming smiled, knowing he didn’t have time to stay here, given all his work.

"Su Yuanyuan, I have a particularly tricky task, can you help?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head immediately, "I won’t leave here, I’m waiting for the fifteenth of July."

"You can surely come back by then."

Su Yuanyuan still shook her head, no promises would do, she definitely wouldn’t miss this time.

Shao Hongming felt resigned, knowing it would be like this. He was genuinely worried about Su Yuanyuan, as her approach was too reckless.

He decided to go back quickly. He must come over on the fifteenth of July, no matter what, he would stick with her.

The next day, Shao Hongming left, but two more families came by, both knowing Shao Huade and were of similar age.

Su Yuanyuan rarely approached them, generally acting alone.

"Old Shao, is this the girl?"

"Yes."

"I wouldn’t have guessed. She doesn’t seem like it."

"Old Han, what do you mean?"

"I thought she wouldn’t be such a timid girl.

Didn’t expect her to have such courage and reason."

"This girl’s personality has some issues. She doesn’t like interacting with strangers. It’s only because my son met her before that she’s familiar, otherwise I couldn’t get close to her."

"Is it because she doesn’t want to deal with us old-timers?"

"Old Zhou, you’re being unreasonable. Thinking this way about a younger person isn’t right, you don’t know her well,

if she comes over to talk to you, you think she’s trying to befriend, if she doesn’t talk to you, you think she’s arrogant."

The three old men had nothing to do, so they bantered with each other.

Just then, a car drove into the courtyard.

Hu Zi jumped out of the car.

Su Yuanyuan had already noticed him. So she went downstairs too.

"Xiao Su."

"Hu Zi, what brings you here?"

"I have a mission nearby, just came to check on you. How’s it going?"

"Not bad."

As they talked, they went to a small meeting room.

"What happened?"

"Hou Wanzhong was executed."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, knowing that as long as she was here, Hou Wanzhong would surely die. It wasn’t arrogance, just a fact.

"The Hou Family has all gone to the Northwest."

"What about He Dongzhi?"

"She’s being watched."

Su Yuanyuan knew how formidable that woman was.

"Alright, I know. Make sure you all stay safe."

"Okay, we understand. The rewards from above are waiting for you to claim when you return."

"We’ll see, I’m not sure when I’ll go back."

Hu Zi came over because Daqing and the others wanted her to go back with them.

When Su Yuanyuan said this, Hu Zi didn’t know what to say.

"You guys don’t have to worry about me. Go back, I’m doing quite well here."

Hu Zi felt bitter inside, what’s good about it? But he didn’t dare say it.

"By the way, you should stay and leave tomorrow, the cook here is really good, take a day to rest."

They rarely had downtime, as tasks followed one after another.

"Xiao Su, won’t you come back with me?"

"No, I’m staying here."

Hu Zi wanted to say more, but in the end, he said nothing, respecting her decision.

He obediently stayed, greeted the three elderly gentlemen in the evening, and then dined with Su Yuanyuan.

The next day he left. Su Yuanyuan continued her routine without change.

That day, when she went downstairs, she encountered a young man who stared at her.

Su Yuanyuan felt her hair standing on end. This person was too powerful. She couldn’t hear his thoughts.

Faced with the unknown, Su Yuanyuan would avoid it.

"Comrade. Are you Su Yuanyuan?"

This young man’s voice was very pleasant.

"Yes, I am." Then there was silence.

Normally, one would ask for the other person’s identity and inquires why they came, but Su Yuanyuan wasn’t in the mood.

A young man coming here must be a junior from the other two families. She didn’t even want to deal with the elders, let alone the juniors.

Moreover, this person gave her a sense of danger, best not to get involved.

"Su Yuanyuan, wait a minute, let’s have a chat."

Zhou Yongheng stopped Su Yuanyuan, who intended to leave.

She turned around, looking at the man with a cultured appearance but a profound gaze.

"I have nothing to talk about." After saying this, she turned and left. She hadn’t planned to go to the market today.

But encountering such a person, she decided to go, see if she could find any grilled fish slices she liked in her previous life, and if the taste and flavor here were good, she would collect some for later consumption.
