My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

After dealing with the stall owner who was deliberately ripping people off, Xu Lu gave the onlookers a stern look. She had seen the ugly faces of these bystanders just now.

"And all of you who're just jumping on the bandwagon, stop blindly following the crowd. Don't judge others based on your own limited perspectives before things are even clear. Everyone, disperse!"

The onlookers were speechless after Xu Lu's words, and they all lowered their heads in shame and silently left the scene.

"Sister Xiaolu, you have no idea, all those onlookers were criticizing me on behalf of that boss. If it weren't for this big brother showing up in time and calling the police for me, I don't know what I would have done."

Ying'er was very dissatisfied with the departing crowd. When the boss wronged her, these onlookers criticized her relentlessly, saying she was ill-mannered and had dirty hands, which made her cry.

"Hmph, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, you little brat. Instead of staying home and studying, and taking care of Aunt Lan, what are you doing here all by yourself?"

Upon hearing Ying Er's words, Xu Lu, like an elder, fiercely reprimanded Ying Er.

"I...I..."

After being scolded by Xu Lu, Ying Er was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak, and tears streamed down her face.

"Um, beautiful policewoman, I think Miss Ying'er must have some unspeakable difficulties. You'd better not be so fierce to her."

Seeing Ying'er shed tears again, Su Muchen felt his heart break. How could any man bear to let such a stunningly beautiful woman shed tears?

"Hmph, sir, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Ying'er is still a high school student. You'd better stay away from her, or I won't mind inviting you to the police station."

In Xu Lu's mind, she always labeled Su Muchen as a lecherous playboy, so how could she possibly be polite to him?

[Damn it, what's wrong with this Tyrannosaurus Rex? I don't think I did anything to offend her, so why is she so hostile towards me from the start? Now that I've helped her catch that shady boss, she's still acting like this.]

Su Muchen racked his brains but couldn't understand why this policewoman Xu Lu had such a big problem with him, even though he didn't seem to have done anything out of line.

"Sister Xiaolu, don't be so mean to big brother. It's all Ying'er's fault. If you want to scold someone, scold Ying'er instead!"

Xu Lu, pulled by Ying Er, ignored Su Muchen and turned to see Ying Er's aggrieved look, which softened her heart.

"Alright, silly girl, stop crying. You've ruined your pretty face. Tell me, why are you here? Did something happen to Aunt Lan?"

"My mom's cough got worse yesterday, and I wanted to take her to the hospital, but as you know, my mom's condition is very expensive. Once she goes to the hospital, the money just keeps flowing out. I... I don't have any money to take her to the doctor."

Mentioning this, Ying Er started crying again, clearly showing that she is someone who cries very easily.

"You can call me if you don't have money. Even if your sister Lu doesn't have much savings, I'll borrow money to pay for Aunt Lan's medical treatment. Didn't I tell you before that you don't need to worry about money? Your focus should be on studying hard and preparing for the college entrance exam. Why don't you listen?"

Xu Lu said with a hint of complaint, but she knew herself that it was easier said than done.

Yinger's mother had lung cancer, which was caused by inhaling too much dust while carrying bricks on construction sites with Yinger's father in her early years. Yinger's father also died of lung cancer a few years earlier.

Yinger's family had already spent all their savings on her parents' illnesses. In order not to burden Yinger, her mother resolutely gave up treatment and returned home to wait for death.

Xu Lu and Ying Er are not related. A few years ago, Xu Lu had just become a police officer and rented a house next to Ying Er's house for convenience. When she heard about Ying Er's family's situation, she couldn't bear it and offered some help.

Over time, the two became acquainted, and Xu Lu went out of her way to help Ying Er's family, even giving most of her monthly salary to Ying Er.

Later, due to his transfer to the municipal bureau, which made travel inconvenient, he moved out of his residence. With the increase in workload, he no longer had much time to take care of Ying'er and her mother. However, he still sent money to Ying'er every month for living expenses and for Ying'er's mother's medical treatment.

"Sister Xiaolu, Ying'er knows you've had a tough time too. You basically use your entire monthly salary to support my mother and me, which makes Ying'er feel like she has no way to repay you. But as you know, my mother's illness costs several thousand yuan a month just for medication, so how could Ying'er dare to trouble you? Now that my mother's condition has worsened, Ying'er thought of coming here to ask around about the prices of antiques."

"Ying'er, are you thinking of selling your family heirloom?"

Upon hearing Ying'er's words, Xu Lu immediately understood her thoughts. Xu Lu knew that Ying'er's family had always kept an antique, a family heirloom passed down through generations.

When Ying Er's father's condition worsened, he did consider selling this family heirloom, but knowing that his illness was incurable, he wanted to leave it to his wife and daughter.

Finally, before his death, Ying'er's father also advised her that although this family heirloom was very important to their family, it would be better to sell it to save money in times of crisis.

As a result, Ying'er's mother's condition worsened, and since she couldn't get help from anyone, she decided to sell this family heirloom.

However, Ying'er knew nothing about antiques and dared not take them out easily, so she had to go to the antique street to ask someone about the approximate price first, so that she would have a general idea.

Looking at Su Muchen standing to the side, his eyes suddenly lit up when the two women mentioned keywords like "antiques" and "family heirlooms".

Su Muchen had a vague sense of a unique aura about Ying'er the moment he first saw her. If any martial artist were present, even one at the Martial Emperor level, they wouldn't be able to detect it.

Only a cultivator like Su Muchen, who has transcended the martial arts level and entered the immortal cultivation level, could vaguely sense that the faint aura emanating from Ying'er was indeed the aura of the Great Dao.

At first, Su Muchen was completely baffled. How could an ordinary person possess the aura of the Great Dao? This was something only cultivators could access.

Hearing the conversation between the two women, he finally understood that the aura of the Great Dao emanating from Ying'er must have come from that family heirloom.

"Um... Miss Ying'er, to be honest, I also know a little about medicine. How about I go and take a look at your mother?"

"Big brother, you also know medicine?"

"You? You even know medicine?"
