Chapter 202: Chapter 62 Heaven’s Will Gives Rise to Pagoda Trees (2/3)

An Jing had originally planned to take advantage of the battle between the True Person of the Divine Repository and the Heavenly Demon, allowing You Ruhui to use her Divine Skill and then escape to the Wilderness with everyone in the city.

Indeed, the plan was good; once the great battle between the Divine Repository and the Heavenly Demon commenced, the people of Ming City would definitely flee on a large scale to avoid becoming casualties of the collateral damage.

By then, amidst the chaos, An Jing and Granny Huai wouldn’t need to hide; they could easily blend into the crowd.

You Ruhui just needed to hide well, and she could always manage to get out.

But now, this idea had to be discarded.

The Heavenly Demon had been defeated too quickly, and the people of Ming City wouldn’t flee.

If An Jing and Granny Huai tried to leave the city now, they would be too conspicuous.

Although You Ruhui’s Divine Skill was powerful, it could only be used on others for one hour, and one hour wasn’t enough to get very far, especially still within the range of intimidation from the True Person of the Divine Repository.

Considering this, it might be better to just hide within the city.

In An Jing’s mind, the Great Void Passage was the last resort, but ’last resort’ meant that it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

They could no longer go to the Earth Pulse Node, but as long as You Ruhui stayed still and hid deeply, she could still get through this.

He and Granny Huai, on the other hand, could act as a smokescreen.

Everyone knew that he had been living in the teahouse recently; it would be normal for him to run out with everyone else in case of an emergency. And since no one knew about You Ruhui’s existence, she could easily use her Divine Skill to hide nearby without raising too much suspicion.

If anyone did become suspicious, then he would have to take them to the Tianyuan Realm.

"Good!"

You Ruhui was also decisive. Although she could not think of a solution herself, she would follow An Jing’s ideas.

"What about you, Granny?" An Jing asked, while Granny Huai, whom he was carrying, also shook her head slightly, "I have no objections."

Soon, An Jing, carrying Granny Huai, arrived at a place he was quite familiar with.

Youde Garden.

"Xuan?"

The attendant who opened the door recognized An Jing, his expression surprised, "And Granny? What brings you both here?"

"The city is too chaotic. Just now, someone stormed the teahouse."

And An Jing cut straight to the chase, "Granny Huai can’t withstand the stress, the snowstorm is too heavy, and we couldn’t find a medical hall."

"After much consideration, we could only come here."

"Jing? Granny?"

At that moment, Steward Li also arrived, and seeing An Jing with Granny Huai, he instantly understood what had happened.

He was well aware of the recent disputes targeting Granny Huai’s teahouse and knew that An Jing was the talent who had openly fought against seven martial artists from the True Demon Sect, rescuing Dust Li and others!

Eager to establish a connection with An Jing, he hastily welcomed them inside, ushering them quickly, "Come in, come in."

Once inside, he lamented, "Ah, Granny has never left that street in her life, yet she’s been treated so unjustly, this is our negligence!"

"You’ve helped tremendously." An Jing feigned an exhausted expression, while Granny Huai pretended to pass out, being carried in by several attendants.

You Ruhui used her Earth Escape Divine Skill to hide on the side, unnoticed by anyone.

The doors of Youde Garden slowly closed, and An Jing turned around, looking towards the fierce sunshine and the Thunder Light outside.

This chaos in Ming City... It seems to be ending soon.

Although Youde Garden is a tavern, it indeed has private rooms available for accommodation, meant for those who rent out the place to drink overnight, offering a place for drunken guests to rest.

Besides, there were houses for staff accommodation, which were not fully occupied, so accommodating An Jing and Granny Huai was more than sufficient.

Especially for Steward Li of Youde Garden, who had previously been unaware of An Jing’s profound "background", regretted letting go of the opportunity to bond with An Jing so easily; he felt quite remorseful these days.

Now that he had found an opportunity, he naturally took the initiative to arrange matters, hoping to establish a good relationship with An Jing.

As for the other servants, they were, of course, overjoyed: although Jing Xuan was perhaps somewhat unfamiliar with local customs due to coming from Dust Li, wasn’t the greatest custom to be generous?

Look at him, a generous tipper with a wave of his hand—who would dare say Xuan lacked manners? They would be the first to reprimand anyone who said so!

As for Granny Huai, there was really no need for An Jing to go out of his way to instruct others; who on the street around did not recognize this kind old lady?

Indeed, many people were looked after by Granny Huai as they grew up. Seeing the old lady looking exhausted, even the kitchen that had to close unexpectedly today got busy, preparing a pot of nourishing soup for her.

Soon, An Jing and others settled down to rest in Youde Garden.

Although it seemed safe, An Jing was always ready to flee and relocate.

With An Jing’s combat abilities, he could fight against the Inner Strength masters, and facing a peak Inner Strength master, he could probably remain unbeaten with various Magic Artifacts at his disposal, but if he encountered a Martial Meridian, he could only flee, and might not even manage that.

And the Divine Repository... Based on what An Jing had sensed during his time at Hanging Fate Manor, he estimated that as soon as he entertained the thought of escaping, he would be captured.

Therefore, he had to be well-prepared in advance to have a chance of escape.

"At that time, it will all depend on You Ruhui himself."

"As for now... I do have some questions I’d like to ask Granny Huai."

Thinking this, An Jing, carrying a bowl of snow fungus soup, went to Granny Huai’s room.

Using the delivery of the sweet soup as a pretext to enter the room, You Ruhui and Granny Huai were both present.

The person who should have been ’asleep’ was indeed looking weary but her eyes unexpectedly gleamed with energy.

"Thank you."

Receiving the snow fungus soup from An Jing’s hands, Granny Huai looked at An Jing with a hint of emotion, "You have questions, ask them directly."

"Hmm."

An Jing wasted no words, directly pulling out from his chest the bamboo tube containing various medicines that he had confiscated from the Master of the Medicine Manor, revealing them before Granny Huai, who looked unsurprisingly shocked, "Granny, what is your relationship with the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect?"

"I am indeed a member of the Divine Sect."

Granny Huai also took out a bamboo tube from her chest, comparing the two, it became clear they were part of the same set.

Even more so, they were not just simply from the same set, but from the same batch, crafted by the same person!

"Good."

Hearing Granny Huai’s straightforward admission and her reference to the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, An Jing was not annoyed.

He then pulled out a fragment of a knuckleduster from the body of the Evil Born Demon: "The owner of the Medicine Container... and the owner of this knuckleduster, who are they to you?"

"Brother Feng, and Shu..."

Granny Huai looked at the Medicine Container and the knuckleduster fragments, her expression extremely complicated.

But quickly, she relaxed, smiling with a hint of nostalgia, "They are dead, aren’t they? Finally, finally... they have been liberated from this world."

Having said this, Granny Huai seemed relieved, appearing to breathe a sigh of relief.

—What is this attitude?

An Jing frowned slightly, as he had actually fully confirmed Granny Huai’s association with the Demon Sect moments ago.

But why? Why did Granny Huai not seem saddened by the death of these ’fellow sect members’, instead feeling a sense of relief?
