Chapter 659 Tasks.
Shi Lang agreed with Yu Xiedi. She wanted to stay back and learn more about these people. Han Kim and Yu Mingxue were happy about it. They understood that the little girl was not like the other children, and they needed to be more patient with her.
Shi Lang was at peace watching these people being accommodating in handling this child. He could not express what was going on in his mind using any word of the world. This girl reminded him of his daughter, Shi Tao. During his time in the federation, he did his best to support Shi Tao to grow stronger, but while he shouldered the federation's responsibility, he missed out on the most important years with her.
This regret has always bothered him, and Yu Xiedi was a way he was trying to make it up for himself. He knew that regret was an ailment that could not be cured with any medicine in the universe. He sighed and meditated. Yao'er and Yu Xiedi had developed a preliminary friendship and spent the night together.
Han Kim spent time with two granddaughters and told them many stories. It was not until Yu Mingxue forced them the two went to sleep. Although Yu Xiedi did not speak or react much, she silently and attentively listened to everything Han Kim said.
She let the old lady brush and comb her hair. It was morning when the girl discovered she had fallen asleep in the same room as Yao'er. She was flustered and rushed out to find Shi Lang.
Somewhere in her heart, the girl was scared that the terran would leave her. However, she was overthinking. Shi Lang was cultivating with the lightning stone inside his room. He only woke up when Yu Xiedi entered. He opened his eyes and smiled at her. The girl walked up and sat across him on the ground.
Shi Lang asked her a few things, and the girl told him everything. After the questions were done, it was time for cultivation. Yu Xiedi asked what she did not understand, and Shi Lang told her everything.
The young one was cultivating, and Shi Lang observed her spiritual movements and could not help but praise, 'Such a delicate control over the energy flow. I picked up a diamond.'
Suddenly, the room was knocked, and Shi Lang found that it was a maid. He asked what was happening, and the lady presented him with a scroll and left.
Shi Lang recognized the seal on the scroll. The Head-hunter organization has sent him something. The terran opened the scroll and found a letter inside. He smiled. Amelia had sent her a reply.
She told him about the situation inside the sect and wondered when they would be able to meet, and the terran sighed. He has been too busy. He sighed and decided to look at the Moon Night diner and then accept a task while he sent back a message.
He needed to find a better way to communicate with his wife. Shi Lang glanced at Yu Xiedi, who was doing squats and said, "Xiao Yu, I am going to accept a task. Okay?"
Yu Xiedi gazed at him calmly and said, "Master, come back soon."
Shi Lang chuckled and replied, "Yes, madam."
Then he bowed and walked away. Yu Xiedi watched him leave, and a smile appeared on her face. She got back to her practice without any unnecessary thought in his mind. Shi Lang came out of the room and found Yuwan. The man also seemed to be going out to deal with some official business.
Yu Xian had turned his attention to his grandson and was teaching him how to be a man. Shi Lang wanted to shake his head but silently walked away. They came out of the palace and parted ways. Shi Lang entered the bustling crowd and came to the Diner.
He entered the secret room and found the young man behind the counter. The terran could not help but ask, "Say, do you not go back home? Like ever?"
The young boy smiled and said, "My home is just a step away."
Shi Lang looked at him curiously and asked, "Can you help me return this to the War Maiden Sect?"
The young man returned the letter and said, "Yes, it can be sent. Anything else I can do for you?"
Shi Lang nodded and asked the man to show him some tasks. The process went smoothly, and the terran had new work. He was needed to investigate a series of murders that had been taking place in the nearest county. However, these deaths had been declared to be snakebites. The people could not digest this fact.
Shi Lang raised his eyebrow at this. He could not go around this task, as it was the only one left to deal with. With a sigh, he looked at the details. And he was left immediately. The purpose was investigation, and the time was ten days. There was a note mentioned below the details. It was possibly the work of a demonic cultivator. The preys were all young teenage cultivators and most of them were women.
The task required him to go to a remote town. He had to inform Yu Xiedi that this mission was not easy, and if he were to bring her along, the risk to her life would increase significantly. He did not wish for that to happen.
lightsnοvεl.cοm Shi Lang accepted the task and left the Diner. He moved quickly, and when he came to the City Lord Palace, he found that Yu Xiedi was running behind the rabbit, and she was not slow at all.
He came to the garden and stood beside her. He did not disturb her and watched her moves. Yu Xiedi had become more adept at the task now. She could take a sharp turn without any fluctuation. Shi Lang watched her and then nodded. The circulation of spiritual energy will help her later on.
After half an hour, the girl stopped; she was covered in sweat, and her breathing was fast. She commented gently, "Xiao Du, you run so fast, I wonder if I will ever be able to catch you."
Shi Lang smiled and said, "You will be able to catch him soon."
Yu Xiedi looked at him with surprise and blushed. She asked, "Master, when did you arrive."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, come here and take these."
He took out a spatial pouch and handed it to the girl. The girl was confused, and Shi Lang said, "I have accepted a task, but it will need me to go to another town. I know that you wish to come along, and I also want to take you away, but it is a bit too risky this time, and with you by my side, I might not be able to perform well. This spatial pouch contains the cultivation resources you will need and a jade slip with the details of you to use them."
Yu Xiedi was visibly shocked. Her lips quivered, and water gathered on her eyelids. Shi Lang said, "My dear Xiao Yu, the master will return safe and sound in five days. I promise to you."
Yu Xiedi still said nothing, and Shi Lang waved his hand. The lightning mane horse came out of the void tunnel. The beast looked very energetic and strong. The lightning in his mane gave him an imposing look. Yu Xiedi was shocked, and Shi Lang said, "This is Xiao Hei. He will keep you company in my steed, right Xiao Hei?"
The horse was very humane, and it nodded. The black fur on its body dazzled, and the mane flickered with lightning. Shi Lang said, "You must follow everything my disciple tells you to. Do not attack anyone just because you do not like them. Three Immortal Emperors are in this house, even if they were not here. I would like you to be on your best behavior, or I will beat you up."
Hei Lei was more docile than Lei Hu. The horse nodded with his head lowered. Shi Lang patted the side of his neck, picked up Yu Xiedi, and placed her on his wide back. He said, "Xiao Yu, please let me go to work. If I do not work, your mistress will leave me."
Yu Xiedi finally gave in and nodded. Shi Lang pecked her forehead and said, "I will leave now. You play here."
The girl was very reluctant, but she did not want her Mistress to leave her Master. Shi Lang turned around and left the garden, only to find that Han Kim and Yu Xian were waiting outside. They must have sensed the appearance of a beast king.
Shi Lang told them about the matters and the old lady agreed to the arrangements without hesitation. Yu Xian tried to rebuke Shi Lang for hurting Yu Xiedi, but the lady canceled him out with a snort and a wave of her hand.
