Hmm?
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.?The child has been traumatized?
âDonât be afraid.â
Taking two steps back, Su Jingxing lowered his voice and said gently, âLittle one, no one is hurting you here. Youâre safe now.â
Stunned, the little boy looked around and realized that he was by the river. There was indeed no one else around.
At first, he was in a daze. Then, joy appeared on his pale face.
âGrandpa, did you save me?â
ââ¦I only fished you out of the river.â Su Jingxing did not answer directly. Then, he asked, âBuddy, whatâs your name?â
âMy name is Yu Qianlou. Thank you for saving me, Grandpa.â
The little boy was very polite. He stood up and faced Su Jingxing, then bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
âYu Qianlou? Good name.â
Su Jingxing praised inwardly.?As expected, a member of the Yu Family!
âMy name is Jiang Ziya. Little kid, donât worry. Iâll bring you to your family now.â
Su Jingxing comforted him. âBy the way, this is Qinghe City. Your family has put out bounties everywhere today. Iâll bring you to meet them now.â
âAlright, thank you, Grandpa Jiang.â Yu Qianlou thanked him again.
ââ¦Good boy.â
Su Jingxing took a few steps forward and rubbed the childâs head. He sighed that the descendant of a big family was indeed polite.
Such family disciples nurtured since young were basically elites.
Of course, if they really took the heretic path, they would also be a scourge.
â¦
The consolation was done.
Su Jingxing released his true energy to evaporate the moisture on Yu Qianlouâs clothes and led him to the Jade Sword Sectâs base in the city.
Su Jingxing was not interested in how Yu Qianlou disappeared or how he came to Qinghe City. He did not probe further.
In a large family clan, there would always be grudges.
Su Jingxing didnât care, nor did he want to be involved. He just wanted the bounty.
He first flew in the sky with the boy.
When they were about to reach the Jade Sword Sectâs base, they descended from the sky and he led Yu Qianlou to the entrance.
âSir, you are⦠Little Young Master?!â
The gatekeeper was first surprised at Su Jingxingâs background, but when he saw Yu Qianlou standing beside Su Jingxing, his eyes widened and he shouted in surprise, âLittle Young Master has been found! Little Young Master has been found! Hurry up and report to the Sect Master!â
At the end, he was almost shouting.
The other gatekeeper immediately ran inside after getting a clear look of Yu Qianlouâs appearance.
Similarly, he shouted as he ran.
âLittle Young Master has been found! Little Young Master has been found!â
Whoosh!
The huge Jade Sword Sect was in an uproar as exclamations sounded.
At the entrance.
The gatekeeper bowed and invited Su Jingxing and Yu Qianlou in.
Yu Qianlou held Su Jingxingâs hand nervously. The little boy had clearly never been to the Jade Sword Sect.
But soon, his eyes lit up. He let go of Su Jingxingâs hand and ran towards a 17 or 18-year-old girl.
âThird Sister.â
âLittle Lou!â
The two of them cheered and hugged each other. The girl wiped her tears as she called out.
âThank you, old sir.â
A middle-aged man with an elegant bearing came in front of Su Jingxing. He cupped his fists and bowed. âThank you very much for bringing Little Lou back. May I ask where you found him? Please donât misunderstand, sir. We just want to figure out the route that he took after he disappeared and reappeared. This will be of some help to us.â
âItâs fine.â
Su Jingxing maintained his aged voice and indifferent temperament.
âI found Little Lou in the Sky Water River in the Western District. At that time, he was floating on the surface of the water. I thought it was a corpse. After I pulled him out, I realized that he was still alive.â
Su Jingxing gave a brief account.
âIs that so?â The middle-aged man was deep in thought.
âMay I know your name, Brother?â
Beside him, an old man with a goatee cupped his fists at Su Jingxing and thanked him. âIâm Tian Shunchen. Thank you for your help, Brother.â
âYouâre welcome. Iâm Jiang Ziya. I just happened to give the child a grab while on my way.â
Su Jingxing looked at Yu Qianlou and smiled.
âThird Sister, this is Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang saved me.â
The little boy pulled the girl to Su Jingxing and said excitedly.
âThank you, Grandpa Jiang, thank you.â The girl bowed gratefully. âIâm Little Louâs third sister, Yu Qianmang.â
âHello.â Su Jingxing nodded slightly. âLittle Lou is very obedient. Itâs our fate that we met.â
âHeheâ¦â Yu Qianlou smiled foolishly.
âHaha, everyone, letâs go in first. Weâll talk inside,â Tian Shunchen invited. âBrother Jiang, this way please.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo need.â Su Jingxing shook his head. âIâm just here to drop Little Lou off. I shall not go in.â
âThisâ¦â Tian Shunchenâs eyes flashed as he looked at the middle-aged man.
âMr. Jiang, weâre really just expressing our gratitude. We donât mean anything else,â said the middle-aged man sincerely. âItâll be easier for us to transfer the funds if we go in and have a seat.â
âThatâs right, Grandpa Jiang. Come in with me,â invited Yu Qianlou.
âNo need.â Su Jingxing touched Yu Qianlouâs head and said with a smile, âIf thereâs a chance next time, Iâll come again, but not this time. I still have something to attend to. As for the bounty, Iâll leave an account. You can transfer it anytime. Itâs fine if you donât too.â
âAh, thisâ¦â Tian Shunchenâs eyes widened.
The middle-aged man also thought highly of Su Jingxing.
Yu Qianmangâs beautiful eyes flashed. She said respectfully, âSince Grandpa Jiang has something on, we wonât keep you. Also, donât worry, Grandpa Jiang. The bounty will be transferred to you soon. The three spirit weapons will also arrive in Qinghe City soon. You can come here and get them from Uncle Mei.â
