Chapter 149: Chapter 149: March Separately, Arrive at Heavenly Book Academy!

"Senior sister, why did the eldest senior sister suddenly become so fierce and malevolent?"

After walking out of Ten Thousand Demon Town, Qin Yaotiao finally asked carefully.

"Her?"

Shang Xiu laughed charmingly, "Just let her be, those who bark don’t bite, and those who bite don’t bark."

Qin Yaotiao was suddenly stunned; was she comparing Liu Ruyan to a vicious dog?

"But senior sister, after all, we still have to go to the abyss, and we still have to follow the eldest senior sister’s command..."

Shang Xiu was indifferent, "Do you think, why does she want to get rid of us? Isn’t it because I am not afraid of her, and she is jealous of you? Think about it, if there are just the two of us traveling together, if an accident occurs... what does it have to do with her?"

Hearing this, Qin Yaotiao was shocked and exclaimed, "Could it be that the eldest senior sister wants to harm us?"

"You’re overthinking it, she wouldn’t dare even with a hundred times the courage! Not to mention that I’m also in the later stages of Qi Refinement, you are the disciple dearly loved by our master. If something happens, he will certainly seek out the perpetrator. Even though the eldest senior sister is powerful, she wouldn’t dare to harm you; at most, she would only scold you a few times."

Qin Yaotiao breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again, "Senior sister, is the abyss very dangerous?"

Shang Xiu didn’t know that Qin Yaotiao was worried about Lu Chen. She laughed, "There is no place without danger, but don’t worry, as long as you’re with me, you’ll be safe. With fewer people, our target is smaller, too."

"Thank you, fourth senior sister!"

"You’re welcome," Shang Xiu smiled, "If you can succeed in Foundation Establishment, then taking care of your senior sister would be nice!"

In fact, Shang Xiu was not an ordinary person. Born into the Shang family, she had been dealing with the family’s merchants from a young age, met countless people, and naturally had an extraordinary discernment, looking far beyond what Liu Ruyan and the others could see.

They would only be jealous of Qin Yaotiao’s innate talent.

But Shang Xiu saw on Qin Yaotiao great potential.

If she could establish a good relationship, there would naturally be benefits in the future.

In other words, her care for Qin Yaotiao right now was an investment for the future.

She was excellent at judging people, and could see Qin Yaotiao’s nature; as long as she was accommodating, establishing a good relationship would not be difficult.

"Don’t worry, senior sister, you’ve been so kind to me; if I can build the Foundation, I will definitely help you," Qin Yaotiao said.

"With your word, I, your senior sister, haven’t cared for you in vain!"

Chattering and laughing, the two eventually reached Yuzhou City.

But Qin Yaotiao, before entering the city, seemed somewhat afraid to go in.

"Don’t be afraid, your senior sister is here!"

Shang Xiu squeezed her hand and said, "The time for you to sever worldly ties has not yet come, and there’s no need for us to seek out the Lu Family. Just follow me."

Holding Qin Yaotiao’s hand, Shang Xiu took her to a street after they entered the city.

The Shang family, a merchant family, had shops scattered across the entire Great Qin Dynasty, and even though Yuzhou City was a remote area, they had a branch there.

Soon, they arrived at a shop bearing the "Shang" plaque.

"Ladies, do you need something? We are a branch of the Shang family..."

A middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper personally came up to greet them.

Shang Xiu smiled warmly and said, "I am Shang Xiu."

"Big... Miss?"

The shopkeeper’s face changed immediately upon recognition, and he bent down in extreme deference, "Miss’s esteemed visit graces us; this humble one’s vision is poor, I beg for your forgiveness."

"It’s alright," Shang Xiu didn’t bother to fault him and then took out a few silver ingots and placed them on the table, "I need a carriage that can leave today. After that, prepare another carriage and send it to the entrance of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. Some of my senior sisters and junior sisters will also need a ride."

"Yes, Miss!"

The shopkeeper didn’t dare to be negligent, leading the way, "Miss, please follow me, we just happen to have a few good horses..."

"Just manage it as you see fit," Shang Xiu smiled, "I have left the Shang family; today, I am here to do business with you. It should be handled as it should."

"Yes, yes, yes, this humble one understands, big... Fairy Shang, please do not take offense."

"No offense, no offense!"

Shang Xiu seemed to enjoy the feeling greatly.

After a short while, a carriage left Yuzhou City. Qin Yaotiao leaned against the window, gazing in the direction of the Lu Family’s residence, lost in thought.

She had no idea how the Lu Family was doing now, and even less of how the young master was!

...

The carriage moved swiftly, changing horses but not the coach.

What would have taken a month, they completed in half that time.

In contrast, Liu Ruyan did not have such luxury.

"Junior sister, we’re almost there; let’s get off here!"

Three miles away from Heavenly Book Academy, Shang Xiu called for the carriage to stop.

"Senior sister, why don’t we ride directly to the abyss?"

Qin Yaotiao got out of the carriage, noticed they were in a wasteland, and saw a vast structure in the distance. She asked curiously.

"Almost there; the abyss is crowded with many cultivators now. If we ride on by carriage, it would be too conspicuous! Besides, this place is the Heavenly Book Academy..."

"Heavenly Book Academy?"

Qin Yaotiao immediately perked up, recalling that Lu Chen had mentioned he wanted to come to Heavenly Book Academy!
