659 Preparation

Hu Changshou returned home. Hu Changyang and Madam Cao were waiting for him.

Hu Changshou entered the house and closed the door. “Xiaolu has gone back.”

Madam Cao sighed. “They’re all good people, but we haven’t been able to repay them.”

“Grandma, don’t feel bad. Brother and I will work hard. We still have decades to live. We don’t necessarily need to rush the repayment, but if we form good karma, it’s good karma. It doesn’t matter if we can’t repay it now. As long as we have grat.i.tude in our hearts and remember the kindness, we won’t have any regrets.”

Hu Changyang leaned on Madam Cao. He had learned a lot from studying.

Madam Cao stroked his hair gently. “Brother Yang is right. I’ve gotten over it. Your uncle didn’t help us for any repayment. They’re such kind people. We won’t have a guilty conscience as long as we don’t forget.”

Hu Changshou said calmly, “Grandma, Little Brother, this time, I’m prepared to enter the fog with Xiaolu. I’m already an adult. Now that the world has changed, I’m the eldest son and eldest grandson. I should bear this responsibility.”

When Madam Cao heard this, she was shocked and blurted out, “Shou, don’t go. T-this is too dangerous.”

Madam Cao subconsciously hoped that Hu Changshou would not go. In the early years, she had endured the pain of losing her son. It was not easy for her to survive. Now, she could not withstand it at all.

Hu Changshou’s gaze was firm. “Grandma, Xiaolu is only 13 years old. She’s only turning 14 this year. If Big Brother Su and Second Brother aren’t afraid, how can I be? Grandma, I want to become stronger too. I have my pride. We should fight for what we want ourselves. Big Brother Su, Second Brother, Uncle, and the others have already helped us a lot. If Yang and I are afraid of death, what’s the difference between us and Su Dalang and Su Erlang?”

Hu Changshou knew that this was a huge matter. He also told Madam Cao about his feelings in detail.

Madam Cao was speechless. He was right. The Su family helped them because they hoped that they could live their lives well one day. Now that the world had changed, if they were afraid of death and hoped to be protected, they would be no different from that family.

She looked down on Su Dalang and Su Erlang. They only knew how to leech off others and did not know how to be grateful. Then would being grateful be enough?

Wasn’t this just making her look better?

Madam Cao felt her face heat up. She sighed and said, “It’s Grandma’s fault. Go ahead. Be careful. Grandma and your brother are waiting for you at home.”

One could not always rely on others. They already had too many opportunities that others did not have, they could not lose their dignity.

Hu Changshou smiled. “Grandma, don’t worry. I’m strong and have some skills. I’ll act according to the situation.”

Madam Cao nodded comfortingly. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried.

There were terrifying rumors about what was in the fog. Ordinary people didn’t have any thoughts to enter it and just lived their lives behind closed doors. There would always be a tall person to hold up the sky even if it collapsed.

However, everything was unpredictable. It was better to rely on oneself than on others. It was best to have true ability. She should be happy that her grandson had an unyielding heart. This was what she wanted to see. A man had to be responsible.

“Brother, I’ll study hard and practice martial arts too. I’ll go with you in two years.”

Hu Changyang also said seriously. He had always treated Hu Changshou as a role model. He was extremely happy that his brother had made such a decision. He knew that Hu Changshou would not agree even if he wanted to go now. He had his own role to play.

His brother had not let him down, and he would not let him down either.

Hu Changshou nodded. “Okay.”

The brothers looked at each other and smiled.

Madam Cao smiled in relief when she saw that the brothers were both ambitious people.

When Su Xiaolu returned to town, Gui You and Old Wu were still awake.

Old Wu was practicing his sword. Gui You was still very strict. Old Wu cursed, but he still did as he was told.

Seeing Su Xiaolu return, Old Wu wanted Su Xiaolu to plead for leniency like before.

Su Xiaolu pretended to be deaf. “Master, Master Gui You, I’m a little sleepy. I’ll go back to my room to sleep first.”

Old Wu blew his beard and glared.

His old bones were in pain.

Gui You’s expression was stern. “Stop shouting. Save your strength.”

Old Wu rolled his eyes and stopped talking, but he gritted his teeth and practiced.

Su Xiaolu returned to her room to sleep and went into the s.p.a.ce to see Mantis Shrimp.

There was a pile of Interface Stones in the s.p.a.ce. Mantis Shrimp walked into the buffet restaurant, and it had already abandoned the first one. It lay on a pile of Interface Stones and bit this one and then another.

Su Xiaolu had no doubt that every Interface Stone had been licked by Mantis Shrimp.

The originally round interface stones had one or two small pits, which were marks left by teeth.

Su Xiaolu twisted up Mantis Shrimp and the little guy began to kick.

Su Xiaolu hugged it and it rubbed against Su Xiaolu’s palm. It gently licked Su Xiaolu’s palm. Su Xiaolu pinched open its mouth and saw a mouthful of small teeth. They looked sharp. Su Xiaolu pressed them with her hand.

Mantis Shrimp struggled and whimpered. When Su Xiaolu let go, it rubbed against Su Xiaolu and lay in her arms. It flipped on its stomach and fell asleep not long after.

Su Xiaolu pinched and touched it. After playing for a while, she put Mantis Shrimp back into the nest and left the s.p.a.ce.

Seeing that it was about time, Su Xiaolu went out to apply medicine for Old Wu.

Then she went back to her room to sleep.

After living in town for four days, the people sent by the capital to manage the foreign land came.

The next day, Su Xiaolu and her masters went to apply.

The process of applying was similar to that in Furongzhou.

When it was Su Xiaolu’s turn, Su Xiaolu went in and saw that it was an acquaintance.

Chu Jin was also very happy to see Su Xiaolu and her masters. He strode over with a long mace in his hand and said with a smile, “Xiaolu, I didn’t expect to meet you here. Haha, I’m really happy. Ah Chong always said that you’re good at martial arts and not inferior to him. This time, I’ll have to experience it.”

Chu Jin was belligerent, especially when it came to sparring with experts.

He knew about Su Xiaolu’s martial arts skills, but he had never had the chance to spar with her. This time, he was sent to the capital to a.s.sist the Wisdom King. He took the responsibility of choosing capable people. When he met Su Xiaolu, he immediately thought to himself, ‘Isn’t this my chance?’

Su Xiaolu cupped fists at him. “Please.”

Chu Jin returned the greeting and began to attack.

Su Xiaolu was different from Su Chong. She was gentler. Chu Jin wanted to use force to subdue her, but Su Xiaolu was even more slippery than a loach. Her sword and her hands seemed to be boneless. Her sword seemed to grow in her hands.

Regardless of whether it left her hand or spun, the sword could smoothly return to her hand. Her moves were also unexpected. At first, they were even, but slowly, Chu Jin was at a disadvantage.
