“It’s called a value exchange. If it’s an ordinary citizen, they’ll be moved with money. Through money, I can obtain the information I want. However, if it’s not an ordinary citizen, they won’t lack money. Then, I’ll have to use other things to exchange information. Such an action is called an equivalent exchange.”

Su Xiaolu explained to Su Kuo. Su Kuo understood the exchange, but he did not understand it thoroughly enough. In other words, he only understood the surface. He did not understand the deeper things.

“In that case, as long as I pay a lot of money, will I definitely be able to exchange for the information I want?”

Su Kuo asked. Logically speaking, that was the case, but in the memories of his ancestors, this move was not very useful. Sometimes, not only was it not easy to use, but it would also cause trouble.

Su Kuo felt that his ancestors had this question as well.

Su Xiaolu shook her head. “Not necessarily. An equivalent exchange doesn’t necessarily require money. Money isn’t omnipotent, but you can’t do much without money. The most important thing is to learn to distinguish if the person you want to exchange is short of money or something else. For example, just now, I was facing a healthy ordinary person. He would be moved by money. If I was facing a sick person, what he wants isn’t money, but treatment. If it’s a pregnant woman, she might want to know if the child in her stomach is a boy or a girl. Only by distinguishing what they need can you give them an equivalent exchange to get the answer you want.”

Looking at Su Kuo’s serious expression, Su Xiaolu felt that there was a high chance that his ancestors did not understand the fickleness of people.

Su Kuo pondered for a while. He touched his head and said, “I don’t understand. Sister, give me some time. I’ll think it through. If I don’t understand, I’ll ask you again.”

Su Kuo felt that the logic behind this was very profound. Not only did he have to think and analyze these words, but he also had to combine them from some ancient inheritance fragments. In the end, he could think it through and understand them, and these would take a lot of time.

Su Xiaolu stroked Su Kuo’s hair. “It’s okay. Little Kuo, take your time to think about it. Children who love to learn are good children. Children who love to learn won’t be beaten down by difficulties.”

Looking at Su Kuo, Su Xiaolu remembered when she was studying in her previous life.

These words that left a deep impression on her were all told to her by her grandfather.

As she raised Su Kuo, she felt that her role was that of her former grandfather. She was family, an elder, and a friend. She slowly led him without any hurry.

The two of them returned to the inn to rest.

The next day, they bought some things and bought a horse. The two of them set off together.

Su Xiaolu was not in a hurry to travel anymore. Although ten years had passed, she went all the way to the capital just like when she came.

It was midsummer, and the scenery was beautiful everywhere.

One day near the end of May, Su Xiaolu and Su Kuo passed by a lake. Su Kuo went into the lake to fish. The two of them roasted the fish. Su Kuo suddenly said, “Sister, I understand.”

Su Xiaolu smiled at him. “Little Kuo, tell me.”

It had been a month since she left Canger Town, but she knew what Su Kuo was talking about the moment he spoke.

Su Kuo’s eyes were sparkling. He said, “Sister, if I want to exchange with you now, if I can get you home as soon as possible, will you be willing to exchange with me? Because you want to go home.”

After saying that, Su Kuo revealed an expectant gaze.

Su Xiaolu nodded in agreement. She praised Su Kuo and said, “That’s right.”

Su Kuo was very happy with Su Xiaolu’s approval, but soon, he became vexed. He looked at Su Xiaolu and said, “Sister, but my ancestors also did things according to the rules, but in the end, everyone changed. Why? There was a woman whose lover betrayed her. My ancestor, Wei Ling, calmed her hatred and took revenge on her lover. However, when her lover died, she cried more than anyone else. She changed her mind. Why?”

Su Kuo was very worried. Humans were fickle.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo’s depressed expression and asked with a smile, “Little Kuo, your ancestors worked with humans, are there contract rules between them? The kind where if you break the agreement, you have to pay a price you can’t withstand. Is there?”

Su Kuo’s eyes widened. “Rules? Contract? No, they didn’t. Every time they failed, they would be injured, but there was nothing they could do.”

“We can’t hurt humans. Humans are favored by the Heavenly Dao. If we hurt them, we will be punished. The suppression of the Heavenly Dao will be very painful.”

Su Kuo frowned. He understood the rules and contract Su Xiaolu was talking about, but they could not do that.

Su Xiaolu also frowned slightly. Hearing Su Kuo’s words, she thought of Little Niu.

The suppression of the Heavenly Dao was indeed very painful.

Su Xiaolu looked at Su Kuo. She could not imagine how his Guardian Beast ancestors had survived. They were clearly doing things to protect the world, but they were not favored by the Heavenly Dao. If they did not do well, they would be punished. Just thinking about it made her angry.

Su Xiaolu’s expression became serious. She looked at Su Kuo and said, “Little Kuo, listen up. Control your power according to certain rules. This is the Heavenly Dao. Apart from the body, humans also have spirits, willpower, and dreams. In dreams, anything is possible. If there are no consequences for breaking the agreement, no one will abide by it.”

“Sister, what do you mean? Isn’t it harmful for me to restrict them in a dream?”

Su Kuo looked surprised.

Su Xiaolu smiled and nodded heavily. “Of course, it is just a dream. They believed that the dream was real. You didn’t ask him to believe it. He wanted to believe it himself.”

Su Kuo had the ability to control dreams. This was very good. From his surprised expression, Su Xiaolu could imagine how much his ancestors had suffered. Her words could be said to have opened the doors to a new world for the Guardian Beast.

Su Kuo was enlightened. He hugged Su Xiaolu excitedly and thanked her. “Sister, thank you. I understand, I understand.”

He was too lucky to meet Su Xiaolu and be so close to her.

Perhaps in the future, he would be able to do those difficult missions himself.

Su Kuo was too excited and hugged her a little tightly. Su Xiaolu coughed. “Little Kuo, the fish… is burnt.”

Su Kuo quickly let go.

Su Xiaolu pointed at the burnt one. “This tail is yours.”

Su Kuo blinked. “Why? Don’t humans say that we respect the old and love the young? Sister should give in to me, right?”

Su Xiaolu picked up a slightly burnt fish and shook her head. “These words are contradictory to begin with. You respect the old and love the young. Who comes first? If there’s an argument, don’t doubt it. Put yourself first. In other words, don’t care about the argument. You’re the most important.”

Su Xiaolu smiled evilly and began to eat the fish.

Su Kuo did not really understand and ate the fish gloomily.
