"Big brother, I'm leaving now. May I take Yu Mo's body with me?"

Even the fate of the body was inquired of Lin Xueyi, but Zhao Shouying left after Lin Xueyi impatiently waved her away. However, the Zhao family never saw this elder return after this departure.

Main Text: Chapter 148 Preparing to Head to Xiaoyao City (Part 1)

With Zhao Yumo's death and Yagyu Maru's demise, the Zhao family suffered a severe blow. At least in terms of experts, they could no longer be considered a top force in Luoshe City. With their vast wealth, they were now like a child carrying a huge sum of money, surrounded by greedy adults.

However, even now, not many people dare to make a move casually, because there is still someone in the Zhao family who makes everyone afraid to cross the line.

Lin Xueyi, hailed as the youngest Grandmaster-level expert in the world, lives here, and her disciple's home is also here. Who would dare to risk their life coming here? Look, the ruins of the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency are still standing there watching.

At this moment, however, the guardian of the Zhao family was thinking... Now that everything here is settled, can we leave? Perhaps we can go to Xiaoyao City now?

The little girl who had smashed everything had no intention of helping people guard the place; her mind was already on going to Xiaoyao City to help Liu Xuan investigate the situation of his childhood sweetheart.

However, Liu Xuan was a sensible person. He knew that at this time, Lin Xueyi was a pillar of stability for the Zhao family. With her there, those people in the martial arts world would not act rashly. Once she left, those people in the martial arts world might take advantage of the situation.

At that time, the enormous Zhao family will become a piece of fat meat, to be devoured by those ravenous Jianghu forces.

Therefore, Liu Xuan had already said goodbye to Lin Xueyi the day after the incident, and this time he refused to let Lin Xueyi and the others help him investigate again.

"Ugh, this is so boring, so incredibly boring! When are we finally going to leave?"

She nestled in Zhao Yuqing's arms like a kitten, waving her arms affectionately. She hadn't gone out to play these past few days, mainly because Zhao Yumo had taken her to all the fun places in Luoxie City, which had made her lose interest in going out now.

Seeing Lin Xueyi's appearance, Zhao Yuqing shook her head helplessly. This girl really couldn't stand it anymore. But the Zhao family was in this situation. Although it seemed calm, undercurrents had already begun to surge beneath the surface.

"I'm sorry, Xueyi, my home is currently..."

Zhao Yuqing's words made Lin Xueyi sigh slightly, realizing that her words had put a lot of pressure on her. But what could she do? This was a beautiful young lady, and she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"Alright, I know. I was just saying. Besides, quite a few people have come here these past few days. And your brother, ah, that is, my apprentice, has reached a bottleneck. He will break through to the Innate Realm in the next couple of days. Once he enters the Innate Realm, I can leave without any problem."

Speaking of Zhao Yuxuan, Lin Xueyi also felt that his growth was a bit too fast. As a man, he was growing up so fast. No wonder the Sun family didn't want to marry their daughter to him.

After this period of time, this guy is about to step into the Innate Realm, which is quite surprising to many people.

After this incident, the Zhao family began to focus on training their disciples. Although Lin Xueyi did not teach martial arts, she did help a little by giving some pointers, which helped some of the disciples improve.

As for the claim that the protagonist's cultivation level is all modified, like a cheat code, and that he doesn't know the basics, well, the protagonist is a transmigrator, so he can just make up some things from those martial arts novels and then give them pointers. Making things up is always an option.

Just as she was about to continue snuggling in Zhao Yuqing's arms, she saw Ye Qin'er rushing over from outside. She quickly sat down from his arms, looking serious, completely unlike her previous languid self.

"Sister Qin'er, you're back! How did it go? Did you buy everything?"

When Lin Xueyi sent her out to buy food for the trip, Ye Qin'er knew that the girl was definitely hugging and cuddling with Zhao Yuqing. This girl didn't have the demeanor of a Grandmaster at all, always having people hug her.

"Xueyi, you... never mind, you won't listen to anything I say. Just stay with Zhao Yuqing."

A hint of resentment lingered in her heart, which naturally seeped into her words, causing Lin Xueyi to lower her head, feeling somewhat uneasy. After all, she had been making Ye Qin'er quite unhappy, which made her feel embarrassed.

"Um, Sister Qin'er, I won't do it again, I won't. Besides, didn't we agree that I would leave in a couple of days after Zhao Yuxuan enters the Innate Realm?"

Hearing Lin Xueyi's words, which even she herself wouldn't believe, Ye Qin'er could only helplessly listen in the end. After all, as a Grandmaster, she was already very grateful that Lin Xueyi was willing to take her attitude to heart.

"Just tell me, when will Zhao Yuxuan be able to reach the Innate Realm? It's still too early to say..."

With a loud bang, the world changed color instantly. Under the dragon's roar, it was clear that someone had entered the Innate Realm. Ye Qin'er looked at the scene before her and was speechless for a moment.

"Huh? Could this be my unlucky disciple who has entered the Innate Realm?"

As if in response to Lin Xueyi's words, the enormous golden dragon gradually dissipated in the sky, while Zhao Yuxuan excitedly ran towards them.

"Master, Master, I have finally succeeded in becoming a master of the Innate Realm! I..."

*Smack...* *Smack...* *Slap...* *Slap...* *Slap...*

Looking at Zhao Yumo, who had just been slapped to the ground, Lin Xueyi silently shook her head. "It seems you still have a long way to go before you become a master. Not to mention surpassing your master, you should at least be like Mondley to be considered a master. Don't embarrass yourself too much."

Tears welled up in his eyes. His master was too cruel. Couldn't he have praised his apprentice properly at such an exciting moment?

"Why are you making that pitiful face? You're not a young lady, I won't look at you if you make that face. Hurry up and find a scapegoat, keep taking the blame, you still have to keep cultivating. Do you really think that being a beginner is the end?"

"Yes... I understand..."

Feeling wronged, Zhao Yuxuan said that his enthusiasm had been completely dampened by his master's cold water.

"Brother Xuan, please don't be like this. Even if others wanted to be this strict with Xueyi, they couldn't. Don't take your good fortune for granted."

If you had helped me up instead of squatting on the ground, I would have believed your nonsense. And, by the way, you should have turned that upturned corner of your mouth down too.

Lying on the ground, Zhao Yuxuan suddenly felt a desolate sense of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone. This expert who had just advanced to the Innate Realm actually couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes.

Main Text: Chapter 149 Preparing to Head to Xiaoyao City (Part Two)

The news of Zhao Yuxuan's sudden advancement to the Innate Realm spread like wildfire throughout the vast city of Luo Xie. Those who were already astonished by the growth of this young master of the Zhao family were now beyond astonished. As for the martial arts forces that had been eyeing the Zhao family, this news completely dispelled their unrealistic ambitions.

Meanwhile, more wandering martial artists chose to come to the Zhao family. Not to mention that there was a Grandmaster here, his disciple had also become a Xiantian realm expert, and a newly promoted one at that. His experience was extremely valuable to these people.

For a time, the Zhao family even seemed to be surpassing its previous power, but this had little to do with Lin Xueyi anymore. As she packed her things in her room, she was busy dealing with Zhao Yuqing and Ye Qin'er.

"Oh dear, I already told you, I'm going by myself this time. You two stay here."

Lin Xueyi had indeed promised Zhao Yuqing that she would take her out, and Ye Qin'er had always been with her, but this time when she went to Xiaoyao City, Lin Xueyi decided not to take them with her.

Firstly, it's too dangerous there. I'm not talking about the city, but the outside world, deep in the mountains. Facing nature, Lin Xueyi still has a natural sense of awe.

That's why she hoped Ye Qin'er and Zhao Yuqing wouldn't go to Xiaoyao City with her first, but would wait for her to return here.

This was something that had been discussed beforehand, but when the time came, neither Zhao Yuqing nor Ye Qin'er felt comfortable letting Lin Xueyi travel alone.

“Xueyi. You’re setting off on your own. What if you get lost in the mountains? Even a grandmaster would be in danger if they got lost there.”

"Don't worry, although I've never actually survived in the mountains, I've seen other people do it. There won't be any problems. Besides, even if we run out of food, we can still hunt. Nothing will happen."

He twitched his little arms and legs a few times, as if to say that he was very good at hunting, but Ye Qin'er pinched his cheeks with both hands.

"You silly girl, hunting? If you slap one of them, the animals would probably be turned into mincemeat. What would you eat then?"

"Oh, it's not like I don't know anything else. I also know swordsmanship. Let me tell you, I used to be very good at spear fighting too. It's just that I didn't have any sparring partners, so I could only use my hands. If I still had any sparring partners now, hmph, neither of you will escape."

Having broken free from the other's wicked hands, Lin Xueyi put her hands on her hips and tilted her head back, looking incredibly cute. This made Ye Qin'er and Zhao Yuqing burst out laughing.

"Yes, yes, none of us can escape. Now show us your marksmanship and let us see what a Grandmaster-level marksmanship looks like."

Faced with these hurtful words, Lin Xueyi fell silent. This was too cruel. Her gun had been confiscated, so how could she let them witness her marksmanship? If she had, she would have let them experience it in various ways long ago.

Thinking that Lin Xueyi didn't know how to use a gun, Zhao Yuqing gently nudged Ye Qin'er, telling her not to say anything for now, lest Lin Xueyi really lose face.

After being prompted, Ye Qin'er quickly stopped talking. Looking at Lin Xueyi, whose face showed a hint of grievance, Ye Qin'er felt very regretful.

How could I be so stupid, speaking without thinking? I quickly hugged her and comforted her for a while before she calmed down a bit.

"Then I'll go to Xiaoyao City by myself, and none of you are allowed to follow."

If they didn't take this opportunity to settle things, they'd probably have to argue with them about it again later. Now was the perfect time, and Ye Qin'er nodded in agreement, but she did have a condition: she had to stay a few more days, at least until the others had finished making all the preparations for her, before she could set off alone.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyao City also welcomed its guests. After a long journey, the members of Zhaoyuan Escort Agency finally found this hidden city in the continuous mountains.

"Girl, why did you decide to come home today? And you even brought Ke Nan back with you. What happened? Where's Yang'er? Did Yang'er go out and not come with us?"

Before even reaching the gate, a hearty laugh could be heard, followed by a man in fine clothes coming towards them.

Luo Jiushang, his father-in-law, is also the master of Xiaoyao City and his biggest backer in his quest for revenge against Lin Xueyi.

He had already decided on his way here that since he was already here, he couldn't afford to waver; he had to stick to his stance in order to get the most help.

"Father... Father..."

Madam Feng threw herself into Luo Jiushang's arms, bursting into tears before she could even finish speaking, as if she had suffered a great injustice. These tears and sobs struck Luo Jiushang's heart like a giant hammer.

"My dear daughter, my dear daughter, why are you crying? Tell your father which fool dares to bully me, Luo Jiushang."

It wasn't that Luo Jiushang was exaggerating. As a master of the Innate Realm, and with a powerful force like Xiaoyao City under his command, there weren't many in Qingzhou, or even in the entire Nine Provinces, whose strength could rival his.

Anyone who dares to bully his daughter isn't just looking for trouble, they're courting death. He gently patted his daughter's back, finally calming her down as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Feng Kenan, tell me, what exactly happened?"

If he still can't see that something's wrong with Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, then he might as well quit being the city lord of Xiaoyao City. Since his own daughter can't speak up, and she cries as soon as she opens her mouth, making his heart ache, then he can only let this man speak.

So Feng Kenan had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Luo Jiushang what had happened. After hearing what had happened, Luo Jiushang fell silent.

"Lin Xueyi?" he whispered in a voice only he could hear. The lord had said that Lin Xueyi would come here to investigate the Wu family's past affairs, and that they must capture her.

It seems that now it's not just about official business anymore; he also needs to give this youngest grandmaster a big surprise, a surprise she'll always remember.

Main Text: Chapter 150 Preparing to Head to Xiaoyao City (The End)

With bags and carts everywhere, Lin Xueyi was a little overwhelmed looking at the supplies the Zhao family had prepared for her trip to Xiaoyao City. Were these guys going to empty all the shops?

"Xueyi, look, these are the fresh vegetables I asked you to bring, in case something happens on the road and we run out of food."

"Um, what are these jars?" Lin Xueyi asked blankly as she unloaded a large jar from a vehicle. If she could understand the vegetables on the truck, what were these jars?

Seeing Lin Xueyi's blank expression, Zhao Yuqing couldn't help but laugh at the little girl who was holding a jar as big as her upper body and trying her best to stick her head out. Only then did she help her hold the jar.

“These are pickled vegetables that I bought especially for you. They are different from fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables can be eaten beforehand, but these pickled vegetables can be eaten when we get to the mountains. If you get lost in the mountains, this truckload of pickled vegetables will ensure that you have vegetables to eat.”

So why do they have to do so much? This could hire a whole fleet of cars! Lin Xueyi couldn't help but complain about the crazy shopping spree of these people.

"Master, Master, look at the big iron pot I prepared for you. It's guaranteed to make a big pot of food every time you heat up rice, and it can also be used to make some staple food."

Lin Xueyi stared in disbelief as her apprentice carried in a large iron pot, looking utterly dejected. "You're supposed to be the scapegoat, not someone who's going to buy a pot."

As for Zhao Shouting, he arrived at Lin Xueyi's courtyard with a smile on his face. Just when Lin Xueyi thought that this guy had come to cause trouble, she saw him confidently wave his hand, and soon several young servants carrying plates came in from outside.

"Master Lin, you have done our Zhao family such a great favor this time, please accept these gifts."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyi saw the servants lift the red cloth off the plate, and her eyes were almost blinded by the glittering light.

"This...isn't this a bit too expensive...?"

Lin Xueyi felt that her tears were a bit uncontrollable, how could they so easily flow from the corners of her mouth? But in front of these plates filled with gold ingots, she felt that this problem was no longer a problem.

"Master Lin, please accept these. You saved our Zhao family from annihilation. This small gift cannot express our gratitude. This is our Zhao family's token. With this, you can withdraw one hundred taels of silver from any of our Zhao family's shops. If it's a large shop with enough money, one thousand taels is also possible."

The token made Lin Xueyi hesitate for a moment. She glanced at Zhao Yuxuan and then at Zhao Yuqing before taking the token.

The journey outside is still uncertain, and after finding Ruoxue, we will need to rebuild our home, which will require a lot of money. If we can get help, we are willing to make some sacrifices.

Seeing Lin Xueyi take the token from his hand, Zhao Shouting finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that once Lin Xueyi accepted the token, it meant that she had established a certain relationship with the Zhao family.
