Chapter 919: Being Treated Kindly

Yan Yuezhi was not an ordinary cultivator. She was an immortal.

She had reached a realm that even ordinary cultivators cannot aspire to.

Her life had been full of hardships.

There was no hurdle in her life that she couldn’t overcome.

As she traveled through the sky, she was graceful and elegant.

“Senior…” the woman hesitated to speak.

She carried a child in her arms and followed fearfully.

“Feel free to ask any questions,” Yan Yuezhi said.

“Where are you taking us?” the woman asked.

“To the Astronomical Academy,” Yan Yuezhi said.

“The Astronomical Academy?” The woman was perplexed. “The immortal sect? Is it because your people wanted the tea leaves?”

“No.” Yan Yuezhi shook her head.

She did not explain further.

“Then, who wants it?” the woman asked.

Yan Yuezhi looked at her and said kindly, “Don’t ask about it, please. You can ask about what will happen to you if you want.”

I won’t harm you, at least not for now. Once you enter the Astronomical Academy, you will be protected,” said Yan Yuezhi. “But you won’t be allowed to leave the academy. Also…”

Yan Yuezhi reached out and grabbed the iron chain on the hands of the little boy. With a gentle tug, the chain broke.

The iron chains on his feet also shattered.

The woman’s hands and feet were also freed.

When the chains broke, the woman felt a little dizzy.

They were no longer bound by their sect.

It felt like she had returned to the past for a moment. She was herself again.

Her eyes turned red with emotion.

She lowered her head and said, “Thank you, Senior.”

She didn’t know what the person in front of her wanted them for, but from the moment she saw the chains being removed, she knew that this person was different from those in the Divine Rotation Sect.

Yan Yuezhi left with them and headed toward the Astronomical Academy.

In the ancient city, Yan Yuezhi brought the people to an inn and knocked on the door.

The person inside had a bad temper and was about to get angry when he opened the door.

But when he saw Yan Yuezhi, Guan Zhongfei turned pale and trembled. “S-Senior.”

“Keep this box of tea leaves on you for now, and also…” Yan Yuezhi looked at the woman. “Is there anything that you can give me to prove that you are now safe?”

The woman, holding the little boy, hesitated.

She nodded. “Yes.”

She then used her hair to weave something and handed it to Yan Yuezhi.

Yan Yuezhi put that in a box and handed it to Guan Zhongfei. “Keep it safe. Someone will come to collect it.”

“I won’t fail you, Senior,” said Guan Zhongfei.

This person was an immortal. He had never seen an immortal before.

Yan Yuezhi nodded and then left with the woman and the child.

Before setting out, she had already instructed someone to find Guan Zhongfei.

Having seen him once before, it was convenient for her to find him again.

Yan Yuezhi did not attract much attention at the academy.

She left the people to be inhabited and then departed.

The woman’s name was Sang Xiu, and she was somewhat famous in the Divine Rotation Sect.

However, within the immortal sect, she seemed quite ordinary.

At that moment, she looked around anxiously at the people nearby.

She noticed that even the small task workers had quite strong cultivation realms.

“Newcomer?” an old woman looked at Sang Xiu and asked. “Go get a token, and then find a place to stay. After that, come report to me for work.”

Sang Xiu nodded nervously.

Later, she found a place where she could collect her things.

The receptionist was a middle-aged man.

“Greetings, Senior,” Sang Xiu said cautiously.

“Here to collect your things?” The man looked up at Sang Xiu, then his gaze lingered on the child.

The child hid behind Sang Xiu. He was somewhat frightened.

“S-Senior?” Sang Xiu said nervously. She was afraid that the man disliked her son.

“He is injured all over,” said the man. “Go to the pharmacy and have them treat the child. The child cannot stay here for work.”

Sang Xiu was shocked. She couldn’t abandon her child.

Before she could speak, the man said, “The child should go to school. Even if he’s too young for that, he should be learning something. After you find a place to stay and heal from your injuries, take the token to the school for registration. They will arrange it for you. They will start with basic classes.”

The man handed everything to Sang Xiu. Everything had already been arranged. She just needed to find her way there.

Sang Xiu stood still. She was at a loss.

All these years, she was treated worse than the animals at the Divine Rotation Sect. She had never imagined that she would be treated kindly anywhere.

…

It had been more than twenty days since the last gathering.

Jiang Hao was living his normal life.

He had arranged everything and was now waiting for a response.

Twenty days weren’t very long, and the people from the Lawless Tower had not rushed him.

So, he could calmly cultivate high-quality spiritual herbs. The first batch of herbs had taken root and sprouted.

Perhaps it won’t take too long for him to reach the late stage of the Immortal Ascension Platform.

Junior Brother Han seemed to have gone out for training again after his last visit.

When he came back, he might be in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm already.

Hao could then advance to the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

It was a bit surprising that Gui hadn’t arrived yet.

In theory, it shouldn’t take too long for her to reach the Hidden Cloud Prefecture.

‘She is probably held back by Old Man Corpse Sea…’ Jiang Hao thought to himself.

In addition to that, there was also Gu Changsheng.

Gui was also preparing for that.

The spirit beast had been quite busy lately. He was trying to find a mistress for him.

Senior Sister Miao and the spirit beast were so similar.

The two seem to be very interested in matters like that.

Xiao Li, in contrast, was displeased.

She threatened to complain to the Senior Sister.

Jiang Hao felt that these people were just worrying about nothing in particular.

They were so jobless that they wanted to get involved in things like these.

A couple of days ago, Liu Xingchen had visited him and told him that there would be visitors in the sect. They were from the Heavenly Saint Sect.

They had fought against them, and they were here for a visit. Jiang Hao was in awe.

It seemed that they didn’t take the previous conflicts seriously. As long as the benefits were sufficient, they didn’t want to make enemies of each other.

As for when these people would arrive, Jiang Hao had no way of knowing.

The Holy Master’s divine soul was well hidden. So, he didn’t need to worry.

At night, Jiang Hao took out the stone tablet and checked if there were any new messages.

He didn’t know if they were chatting inside.

Sure enough, he saw Zhang had left a message saying the deed was done, and the things had been handed over to Guan Zhongfei.

Gui was still looking for Old Man Corpse Sea.

“Ancient city?”

Jiang Hao thought for a moment. The golden ring was not too far from the ancient city.

Then, he disappeared on the spot. He would go and get it himself.
