Zhou Zhi nodded. “That’s right. Little Kuo is innocent. I won’t argue with him.”

He would not argue with the family Su Xiaolu cared about because they would leave eventually. In the end, only he would be with her.

“Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi. She actually had many questions, but in the end, she did not ask.

With Zhou Zhi around, the journey back was still quiet.

There was nothing else. When they returned to the academy, their lives were as calm as water.

Su Xiaolu was engrossed in class and studying.

unknowingly, It was winter.

Su Xiaolu watched the snow fall in a daze. She looked at the snow quietly and was filled with emotions. Her two Masters had passed away for a few months.

Her eldest brother, second brother, and third sister had all begun their own travels and would send letters to her from time to time.

Su Xiaolu received them, but she did not read them carefully.

Now that she was suddenly distracted, she realized that it was time for her to embark on her new journey.

Let the past pass, let the future come.

“Xiaolu, do you want some?”

Zhou Zhi’s voice was gentle.

Su Xiaolu looked at him and nodded with a smile. “Yes. What delicious food are you cooking today, Fourth Brother?”

“Roasted lamb leg with peach blossom wine.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. He looked into Su Xiaolu’s clear eyes and the smile in his eyes intensified. He knew that Su Xiaolu was fine.

Zhou Zhi selfishly did not call Su Kuo and Little Niu. It was just him and Su Xiaolu.

When she ate at night, Su Xiaolu thought about it, but since she had already started eating, she let it go.

In an instant, it seemed to have returned to a few years ago. They had also eaten together quietly like this. Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi’s slender hand and felt that it was especially beautiful.

The mutton was tender and tasted extremely good.

Su Xiaolu ate at ease and occasionally drank some wine.

Zhou Zhi was elegant in everything he did. Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but ask, “Fourth Brother, what’s your current cultivation level?”

Zhou Zhi’s appearance had not changed. He was handsome no matter how one looked at him. He was often dressed in a white brocade robe like an immortal. After he was cured of the poison, Su Xiaolu never saw his legs again.

Zhou Zhi met Su Xiaolu’s gaze and replied with a faint smile, “Mid-stage Nascent Soul.”

Su Xiaolu could not hide her surprise. “So high.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “You haven’t been out for many years. If you were serious, you’d be better than me.”

Su Xiaolu smiled. “Thank you for your praise. I’ll work hard too.”

Su Xiaolu couldn’t help but look at Zhou Zhi’s legs. She asked, “Have your legs grown back?”

Zhou Zhi shook his head. “Not yet.”

His legs were now replaced by vines. They did not hurt or itch. If one did not know him, they would not know that his legs were mutilated, but he was still crippled.

“When I reached a certain plateau, it stopped growing.”

Zhou Zhi smiled faintly and said. No divine medicine he ate was useful. If it was really useful, it would probably be a numinous treasure of heaven and earth. However, those things only depended on fate.

“It’s fine. Fourth Brother is handsome now. Don’t worry about anything.”

Su Xiaolu smiled brightly. She knew that she could not comfort Zhou Zhi, but she had to say this. She just remembered in her heart that if she found any treasures in the future, she would use them to treat his injuries first.

Zhou Zhi nodded and cut the roasted meat with a dagger and placed it in Su Xiaolu’s bowl.

After dinner, Su Xiaolu returned.

She returned in the heavy snowfall. She looked at the snow accumulating in a layer and couldn’t help but think that time really passed quickly.

The next day, Su Xiaolu asked Little Niu and Su Kuo which places had more treasures.

“Senior Sister, there’s been a phenomenon in Qin Zhou recently. If you’re interested, we can rush over to take a look.”

Little Niu said with a smile. He didn’t know if there were any rare treasures, but it wasn’t a loss to go and take a look.

Usually, treasures would appear in places with strange phenomena, but very few people knew what this treasure was.

If Su Xiaolu was interested, it would be best to go and take a look. She could also go deep into the hinterland of the foreign land without revealing any phenomena or treasures. It must be a foreign land. Now that the foreign land had fused with many parts of the world, cultivators often took risks.

Su Kuo looked at Su Xiaolu, waiting for her to speak.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Then let’s go take a look.”

She had been a teacher in the academy for more than ten years and had brought her parents away for a few years. She had never been involved in the martial world. Now that her parents and two Masters had already passed away, her worldly fate was almost severed. If she wanted to cultivate, she naturally had to find and fight for it.

After discussing it, they made a decision.

They could just tell the academy about this.

After making preparations, Su Xiaolu, Little Niu, and Su Kuo went down the mountain the next day.

Qin Zhou was a rich land. There were many plains and lakes, and the mountains were not tall.

Along the way, the commoners looked rich.

Su Xiaolu looked at these commoners with deep eyes. She remembered that it was the border between the Li Dynasty and the Zhou Kingdom. Because there had been peace and no war in many countries over the years, the commoners at the border were also living and working well.

The two countries were only ten miles away from the nearest village. They spoke the same language, so there was also intermarriage and business.

Due to the phenomenon that appeared in the sky a month ago, this small town was filled with people. The inns were full. Most of the people who came were cultivators or people with powerful martial arts. There were young and old people. In the streets and alleys, one could hear people discussing the phenomenon.

The colorful clouds that filled the sky illuminated half the sky. The refreshing fragrance that came out made one’s mind clear. The fragrance spread for hundreds of miles. In just a few days, many people had gathered in this town to explore.

However, no one obtained it. At first, people thought that the treasure had already been obtained by someone else. However, half a month later, the colorful clouds filled the sky and illuminated half the sky. A fragrance wafted out.

Another group of people was attracted, but no one could find them because half a month ago, the sunset appeared on the horizon again.

Seeing that there were still so many people in this town, there must be treasures that had yet to be found. However, it would be another half a month in three days. At that time, they would see if there were still colorful clouds.

It didn’t matter if they couldn’t find an inn. They could stay in the border town courtyard for the time being. They just had to pay.

Su Xiaolu and Little Niu chose a commoner’s courtyard.

A pregnant woman received Su Xiaolu and the others with a fawning smile.

Su Xiaolu looked at the woman. She had just heard a child cry in the house. It didn’t sound big.

Facing Su Xiaolu’s gaze, the woman lowered her eyes and said unnaturally, “Please come in, esteemed guests. Ah Ru, take care of these esteemed guests and listen to their instructions.”

The woman shouted into the house and then said to Su Xiaolu and the others, “I’m humble, I won’t dirty your eyes. If you need anything, just tell my daughter. I’ll definitely make it clean.”

With that, the woman turned around and entered the house. However, her stomach was big and she could not walk fast.

Su Xiaolu felt a little strange. What was wrong with her? Why did this woman feel too ashamed to see anyone and was in a hurry to hide?

She took a quick look and felt that this woman’s face was so dark. She looked like she was about to die. Thinking about how this woman was about to give birth, her death tribulation should be in childbirth. Her body was thin and weak. From the looks of it, they would not have chosen this house if not for the fact that there were people everywhere else..
