My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

Chapter 70 Who does your son think he is, to dare to criticize Miss Su's decision?

Su Qingsi glanced back, a half-smile playing on her lips: "Guess?"

Luo Ziyuan chuckled twice, then remained silent.

Although he came from a first-rate sect, he still couldn't compare to Su Qingsi, who came from one of the five major sects in the world.

He followed her all the way here, not only because he was infatuated with her beauty, but also because he wanted to find out some information.

Although Zhang Jiao is now universally hated and almost an enemy of the world, as the number one person in the era who suppressed an era, his actions still affect everyone's hearts.

If he could get a share of the opportunities he leaked, it would be an immense stroke of luck for him.

However, it now seems that Su Qingsi saw through his plan at a glance, and thus brought shame upon herself.

Suddenly a commotion broke out ahead, which quickly attracted their attention.

A jewelry stall was now surrounded by people.

"Madam Lu, this jade hairpin truly suits you perfectly. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you as a gift, what do you say?"

The stall owner was a thin middle-aged man in his early forties, who was bowing and scraping as he spoke to Shen Ru in front of his stall.

Shen Ru, dressed in a plain dress, was holding a white jade and gold phoenix hairpin with cloud motifs and gesturing to Aunt Zhang beside her with a smile.

The morning light pierced through the gold thread on the hairpin, dancing like shattered gold between her fingers.

"You look great, you really suit each other."

Aunt Zhang smiled as she led Zhang Wanjun by the hand, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

The stall owner's eyes flashed, and he immediately picked up a gold-inlaid jade hairpin and handed it over: "Madam Zhang, take a look at this. It suits you very well. If you don't mind, please feel free to take it."

He smiled broadly and generously, but inside he was bleeding with heartache.

Aunt Zhang's face lit up with a hint of joy, but she still didn't reach out to take it.

She knew her place and didn't want to cause any trouble.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Shen Ru's face.

For some reason, she noticed that everyone was becoming increasingly attentive to them these days.

Although they were very respectful a few days ago, they were not like this today, where their eagerness was tinged with a hidden fear.

"How much?"

She suppressed her doubts, took the gold-inlaid and jade-broken hairpin, and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was taken aback. Seeing Shen Ru's determined gaze, he could only stammer, "—One tael of silver."

Shen Ru sighed softly and placed ten taels of silver on the stall.

Wherever she went before, these merchants would try to sell her goods at exorbitant prices.

Now it's the complete opposite; not only do they often do business at a loss, but sometimes they even refuse to accept money.

She vividly remembered that a few months ago, she and her child were surrounded by wolves, and everyone had ill intentions, wishing they could devour them completely.

But now, the whole world has suddenly become kinder.

She vaguely knew that it must be because of Lu Ming, but unfortunately Lu Ming never let her worry about these things, he just arranged everything for her perfectly.

"Why----"

She looked at the eager vendors around her, a helpless expression on her face.

Seeing that she was easy to talk to, the people around her immediately swarmed around her: "Madam, look at this jade pendant of mine, it's very good for your health."

"Madam Lu, come in and take a look at our silks—the finest fabric, perfect for you."

"Mrs. Lu, have you had breakfast yet? My family has been running this restaurant for decades."

Many people's eyes lit up when they saw the delicate and timid little Wan Jun standing there: "Miss Wan Jun, try my candied hawthorn, it's so sweet!"

"Miss Wanjun, this mask is for you, it's really fun."

"Miss Wanjun, doesn't this clay figure look like you?"

In an instant, everyone surrounded the three of them, but they were also very cautious and dared not get too close, for fear of bumping into them.

On the periphery, Luo Ziyuan frowned, looking displeased at the noisy scene before him, and sneered, "Could these three be the family members of that 'scraping three feet from the ground' Liu Zhiyuan—are they being fawned over like this?"

A bearded man standing next to him glanced at him strangely and casually remarked, "Out-of-towners, aren't they? These three must be family members of Centurion Lu of the Patrol Tiger Battalion."

He glanced at Luo Ziyuan smugly, his tone full of excitement: "Does Centurion Lu know? He came from humble origins, yet last night he uprooted the four powerful clans that had dominated Yinhu County for hundreds of years."

"Furthermore, he ranked ninety-third on the Dragon and Tiger List, known as 'The Knife in the Wind.' Everyone respected him greatly!"

Luo Ziyuan narrowed his eyes, a hint of disdain flashing across his face: "So, he's one of the most powerful people in Yinhu County now?"

The man excitedly pushed his way in, not even turning his head, and said, "Nonsense! These days, even the county magistrate's words probably don't carry as much weight as his."

Luo Ziyuan's expression shifted slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

At that moment, Su Qingsi looked at Xiao Wanjun, who was timidly hiding behind Aunt Zhang in the crowd, and her beautiful eyes suddenly shone brightly.

With a slight movement, she silently appeared beside Zhang Wanjun, squatted down, and cheerfully offered her a candy: "Little sister, what's your name?"

Zhang Wanjun didn't speak, but hid behind Aunt Zhang, revealing half of her face and a wary eye.

Aunt Zhang was stunned when she first saw Su Qingsi.

Shen Ru has a gentle and dignified appearance, and is already a rare beauty.

But the woman before them was even more superior.

Her beauty possessed an irresistible allure; even she, as a woman herself, could hardly look away.

She snapped out of her daze and forced a smile at Su Qingsi: "Miss, I'm sorry—Wanjun is shy."

Su Qingsi stood up, her delicate eyebrows slightly arched, and said with a smile, "It's alright, you are Wanjun's mother, right?"

She looked at Aunt Zhang, her eyes holding a strange allure, and asked softly, "Has Xiao Wanjun ever practiced martial arts?"

Aunt Zhang was taken aback, her expression somewhat dazed, and she subconsciously said, "No."

"That's wonderful—then how about letting Xiao Wanjun cultivate with me?"

Su Qingsi chuckled softly, her beautiful eyes growing even more intense, as if a dazzling golden light was flowing within them.

Aunt Zhang's expression gradually became somewhat dazed, and her lips moved slightly as if she were about to agree.

Just then, Zhang Wanjun tugged at her sleeve from behind and softly called out, "Mother!"

Aunt Zhang suddenly snapped out of her daze, her eyes wide with terror as she looked at the woman before her, exclaiming, "You—you—you—sorcery?"

Su Qingsi showed no displeasure, but instead looked at Xiao Wanjun with eyes full of surprise, her excitement overflowing: "There's no mistake—with such a high concentration of bloodline, she was born to join my sect for cultivation."

Shen Ru, who was standing nearby, had already noticed that the three of them looked strange, and immediately stepped out of the crowd.

She stood directly in front of Aunt Zhang and Wan Jun, her gaze towards Su Qing Si filled with vigilance, but her tone remained gentle and polite: "Young lady, Wan Jun is still young. This matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it with my son before making a decision. I hope you will not take offense."

Su Qingsi reluctantly withdrew her gaze, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, and slowly turned to Shen Ru.

Before she could even speak, a rude and arrogant voice barked in: "Who does your son think he is, daring to criticize Miss Su's decision?"
