A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

After the little girl finished eating, Lin Yang left the room for her to continue resting.

He then left the room and went to Li Rui's side.

"Captain, are there no places in the city to take care of orphans?" Lin Yang asked again.

“There really isn’t one.” Li Rui shook his head. “That’s why I said before, there’s nowhere to settle this little guy back home.”

"Then... is there any other way? Please help me think of something, Captain." Lin Yang continued to ask Li Rui for advice.

Taking care of a little girl by himself sometimes presents many inconveniences.

Li Rui paused for a moment and said, "I know you mean well, but there are too many things like this, and it's impossible to manage them all. But since you've already brought her along, you can just spend money to hire someone to take care of that little girl."

"Hire someone?" Lin Yang was taken aback.

“Haha, yes, it’s sometimes inconvenient for you to take care of a little girl by yourself, but there are plenty of female cultivators in the city who don’t have stable jobs. You can easily hire a female cultivator to take care of that little girl if you just spend money,” Li Rui suggested.

Lin Yang's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

Li Rui nodded: "It's just taking care of a child. It's an easy job. As long as you pay, there are plenty of people willing to do it."

"Thank you very much, Captain." Lin Yang bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Don't mention it," Li Rui waved his hand.

Lin Yang then took out several bottles of fine wine and drank with Li Rui.

Before we knew it, half a year had passed.

There were no further incidents on the way back to the city.

The team successfully returned to the capital city.

Over the past six months, the little girl has become quite familiar with the rest of the team.

Although she lost her family, the little girl is quite strong and sensible, and the team members all like her very much.

When they parted ways after returning to the city, the team members pinched the little girl's cheeks one by one and said with smiles, "Little Xia Shuang, come visit us when you have time."

"Thank you, big brothers," the little girl said in her childish voice.

After saying goodbye to his team members, Lin Yang led the little girl back to his cave.

Fortunately, his cave dwelling had several rooms. He made room for a young girl and then went out.

There was nowhere in the city to take in such orphans, so he had to find a female cultivator to help care for them.

Hiring people is also very simple.

There are designated places within the city where workers can be recruited.

Lin Yang found the right person without much effort.

She is a female cultivator at the Transformation Realm.

On the ancient continent of the Primordial Era, those below the Dao level would find it difficult to survive without the protection of a family or sect.

Therefore, Lin Yang was able to hire him without spending too much money.

The female cultivator's name was Yu Nianyun. Lin Yang told her what she needed to do and then took her back to her cave.

Then, he called the little girl and Yu Nianyun together and introduced them to each other.

After getting to know each other, Lin Yang said, "Little girl, from now on, Miss Yu will stay here to take care of you. You can ask her for help if you have any questions."

"Thank you, big brother. I will repay you when I grow up!" the little girl said earnestly.

On the way back to the city, Lin Yang told her that he would find another female cultivator to take care of her after they returned, so the little girl accepted it very quickly.

"Haha, then grow up quickly." Lin Yang patted the little girl's head.

Immediately, he looked at Yu Nianyun and said, "I'm leaving the little girl in your care. Tell me any needs you may have in your daily life."

"Yes, sir," Yu Nianyun replied respectfully, then led the little girl back to her room, no longer wanting to disturb Lin Yang's cultivation.

Inside the room, Yu Nianyun looked at the little girl with a hint of envy in her eyes.

She already knew that Lin Yang had rescued the little girl on a whim.

They rescued the girl, brought her back to the city, and even arranged for someone to take care of her. It has to be said, this little girl has met a benefactor.

Then, Yu Nianyun said respectfully, "Miss Xia Shuang, I'm right at your door. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Although she knew that Lin Yang had only rescued the little girl on a whim and that the girl was still very young, Yu Nianyun still placed the little girl in the main seat with great respect.

In the time that followed, Yu Nianyun took care of the little girl's daily life and taught her cultivation. She was very dedicated and conscientious.

After observing for a while, Lin Yang felt much more at ease with Yu Nianyun.

He originally intended to go into seclusion for a short while.

However, considering that a seclusion would take many years, he decided not to go into seclusion for the time being.

Watching a little kid grow up is a lot of fun.

A decade or so won't cause any significant delays.

Shortly after their team returned, all the mission rewards were distributed.

In addition to the reward for guarding the reception point, the mission to temporarily support the stronghold of independent cultivators also gave a lot of extra rewards.

The Far East Prefecture was quite generous in rewarding and rewarding its soldiers.

In addition to the normal remuneration, there is also an extra bonus of 50 million yuan.

This is not a small amount.

When you're on the right path, you can't earn this much in tens of thousands of years.

Even now that they've joined the government army, this is still a huge sum of money.

Lin Yang contacted Li Rui to ask, "Captain, I received an extra reward of 50 million yuan in sand. Was it sent to the wrong person?"

"Haha, you didn't send the wrong message. Your magic array played a significant role in providing temporary support to the loose cultivators' stronghold. You made a great contribution. Without your magic array, our rescue mission wouldn't have been so easy. I reported this to my superiors after I returned, so this is a special commendation for you," Li Rui said with a smile.

"This... thank you very much, Captain." Lin Yang said quickly, surprised.

"Don't be so polite. As soldiers of the prefecture, we will receive extra rewards for outstanding performance or key roles in missions. Just accept it without worry," Li Rui explained.

"Understood." Lin Yang nodded, gaining a new understanding of the generosity of the Far East Prefecture.

"No wonder so many people are scrambling to join the government army. Although the missions are dangerous, the rewards are incredibly generous," Lin Yang remarked.

After talking with Li Rui, Lin Yang went to shop in the city.

With Yuansha available, it's natural to purchase it as resources to enhance strength.

time flies.

Before we knew it, several years had passed.

The little girl is twelve years old now, and has become a young lady.

On this day, Lin Yang was cultivating when the restrictions outside his cave were triggered.

At the same time, sounds came in.

"Lin Yang, I've come to see Xia Shuang. Quickly open the cave and let me in."

It's Cheng Fu.

Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

In recent years, her other teammates have also come to visit the little girl.

But Cheng Fu came the most frequently. Every time he came, he either brought a lot of delicious food or took the little girl to eat all over the city.

They've practically raised the little girl to be a little foodie.

"Cheng Fu, are you planning to take the little girl out for a big meal again today?" Lin Yang saw Cheng Fu come in empty-handed and knew that he wasn't there to bring food, but to take her out for a meal.

Cheng Fu is a big foodie.

"Hehe, I heard that Yunzui Restaurant has some new dishes, so I'm taking Xia Shuang to try them." Cheng Fu rubbed his hands together.

Lin Yang glanced at Cheng Fu's burly figure and couldn't help but sigh, "When it comes to foodies, in the entire prefecture, if you dare say you're second, probably no one dares to say they're first. You've spoiled this little girl so much that her palate has become picky." (End of Chapter)
