193 A Child Who Is More Than What Meets the Eye

The middle-aged body cultivator revealed a bitter smile. "I left home to train for several years and didn't return home often, so I don't visit my wife's parents very frequently."

Thinking back on it, regret plagued his every cell.

While he was pursuing strength everywhere and busy befriending all kinds of people, his wife cared for his children and her elderly parents but never spoke a single complaint to him.

Now, he might not ever see his wife again even if he wanted to.

Yang Shu clapped Ah-Jin's shoulder and wanted to speak a few words of comfort but could not think of anything to say.

Everyone present knew that the fate of Ah-Jin's wife was probably inauspicious.

Xu Shanshan took a deep breath and said, "After we finish searching this area, if there's still nothing, let's not enter each and every one of these houses. Let's go to the back and see if there's a granary there."

"Alright." Everyone nodded without any objections.

Qiao Mu gathered her sleeves and followed them, but she turned her head to look behind her.

There was something unsettling concealed underneath these peaceful houses.

The house that the group of eight entered this time was a fairly large house. Its large size was one of the biggest in Qinghe Town.

Yang Shu kicked open the front doors and everyone cautiously entered in pairs with their weapon in hand.

The courtyard was empty with not a soul in sight.

Except for Qiao Mu who stood in the courtyard by herself, the other seven people followed the corridors that led to the rooms in the back to see if there were any supplies.

Qiao Mu circled around the main courtyard and picked up any useful tools she saw.

After Qiao Mu returned to her original spot, she took out a storage talisman from her sleeves and lightly flicked it open, instantly storing everything inside.

Coincidentally, the rest of the group came back at the same time and saw the child standing in the center of the courtyard and looking up with her sleeves held in front of her.

There was a talisman emitting a blue right floating ahead of her.

Her little fair hands peeked out of her sleeves and swiped at the air. Then, the piles of miscellaneous items on the ground disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone's heart trembled. Duan Yue even swiftly sprinted to the child's side and grasped her hands. "Storage talisman!"

The child calmly pulled her hands back and expressionlessly glanced at the youth.

'Youth, why are you so excited?'

"Wow! Storage talismans like this are hard to come by even in the black market!" In contrast to her brother's reticence and maturity, Xiong Li was pretty and energetic, and she was not shy with strangers at all. She ran to Qiao Mu and grasped her hand with a big grin. "Little sister, you're really more than what meets the eye!"

Xu Shanshan nodded in deep agreement.

Outside the town, the child clearly untied a pouch from her waist for food. She was even ridiculed by that ignorant Liu Yexin.

However, could Liu Yexin have a storage talisman?

Even her father, the assistant hall master of Heavenly Dao Sect, would not be able to acquire a precious storage talisman from the black market!

No wonder Venerable Master calmly said those words to her when they were about to leave. She said, "You don't need to worry about your little junior sister. Master is more worried about you than your little junior sister. Especially Xiaoxiao, she has a rash temper, so you should keep a closer eye on her. As for your little junior sister… you will find out."

Thinking back on Venerable Master's meaningful smile, Xu Shanshan took a deep breath.
