Zhao Yingying looked at the ten large boxes in front of her and said to her elder sister with some concern. Zhao Yingying always felt that Mu Feiyang had done them such a great favor, and it felt a bit awkward to just send these things.
"Yingying, do you think Young Master Mu, with his abilities, would care about what we send?"
"The answer is definitely no, Young Master Mu certainly wouldn't care for these things. But whether he cares for them is one thing, and whether we have the heart to send them is another."
"So, regardless of whether Young Master Mu likes what we send, we should just do our duty."
"Elder Sister, I understand. Shall we go find Young Master Mu now?"
"Yes!"
"We've already delayed for a few days. Let's set off now!"
"Okay!"
After leaving their palace, the two sisters headed straight out of the imperial city. What they didn't know was that they were already being followed by someone with ulterior motives the moment they left.
Tiance Palace.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Seventh Princess and Eighth Princess have left the imperial city."
"Any other news?"
A young man was sitting in a pavilion, with a middle-aged man opposite him, and the two were playing Go.
Beside the young man knelt a youth in black clothing, reporting to the young man who was playing Go.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Princess and Eighth Princess have emptied Lingfeng Palace of all its valuables, along with some spirit stones and cultivation resources. It's suspected they intend to give them away."
"Keep a close watch on them. Notify me immediately once they reach their destination."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
After leaving the imperial city, the sisters Zhao Shanshan and Yingying spent another three days before finally arriving at the entrance of Laga Village again.
"Let's go!"
The two walked into Laga Village and headed towards the east end. In a short while, they arrived in front of Mu Feiyang's small courtyard, but the courtyard gate was closed.
Zhao Shanshan stepped forward and knocked lightly twice. However, there was no response from inside, so Zhao Shanshan knocked twice more.
"Elder Sister, could it be that Young Master Mu isn't home?"
"He's probably gone out!"
Zhao Shanshan wasn't sure, but if Mu Feiyang wasn't inside, he must have gone out.
"Then... what do we do now? Should we wait for Young Master Mu here?"
"Yingying, you wait here for a moment. I'll go ask the villagers outside. They might know if Young Master Mu has gone out."
"Okay!"
Zhao Shanshan turned to go ask the villagers of Laga Village, but as she turned, she noticed a few children had appeared behind them.
"Sisters, are you looking for Brother Mu?"
One of the bolder children stepped forward and asked the two sisters. These were children from Laga Village who had followed them because they saw two pretty strangers.
They had naturally also seen Zhao Shanshan knocking on the door earlier, which was why a child asked such a question.
"You children are so smart, you guessed it right away. I am indeed looking for your Brother Mu. Can you tell me where Brother Mu has gone?"
Looking at the children, Zhao Shanshan crouched down and said happily.
"Sisters, at this time, Brother Mu usually goes to the Seven Treasures River to fish. If you want to find Brother Mu, you can go to the Seven Treasures River."
"Seven Treasures River?"
"Then, can you children tell me where the Seven Treasures River is?"
"The Seven Treasures River is in the back mountain! Sisters, just follow the small path over there, and the Seven Treasures River is that way."
The child pointed to a small path next to Mu Feiyang's courtyard and told Zhao Shanshan the direction of the Seven Treasures River. In the back mountain, there was a small river, which everyone in Laga Village called the Seven Treasures River.
As for why it was called the Seven Treasures River, it was because there was a type of fish in the river called the Seven Treasures Fish. The Seven Treasures Fish was very delicious and was a fish that everyone in Laga Village liked to eat.
Many people in Laga Village had actually grown up eating Seven Treasures Fish because the villagers often had difficulty catching prey.
However, this situation had changed in the past few years since Mu Feiyang returned after failing to find his wife. Fewer villagers went to the Seven Treasures River to fish.
This was because Mu Feiyang would occasionally bring back hunted game to share with the villagers. He did this to repay the kindness the villagers had shown to his past self.
If it weren't for the villagers' support, Mu Feiyang's predecessor might have died before he transmigrated, and perhaps Mu Feiyang wouldn't have transmigrated here.
If Mu Feiyang hadn't transmigrated to Laga Village, then the subsequent events might not have happened.
"Thank you, children. Sisters have some silver taels here for you. Take them to buy something delicious, okay?"
Zhao Shanshan took out some loose silver she had and took the child's hand, placing the silver taels into his palm.
"Sister, Mom said not to take other people's things casually. I can't take your silver taels. Sister, here you go."
The child did not take Zhao Shanshan's silver taels and returned the silver taels in his hand to Zhao Shanshan before quickly leaving her presence.
Zhao Shanshan and her sister were both stunned by the child's words. They hadn't expected these children to be so sensible at such a young age.
"Let's go! We'll go find Young Master Mu."
Watching the children skip away, Zhao Shanshan called out to Zhao Yingying and headed towards a small path beside the courtyard.
The two walked along the path for a while and indeed saw a small river ahead. Sitting by the river was a young man, Mu Feiyang, the very person they were looking for.
A black dog lay on the ground to Mu Feiyang's left, and to his right was a strange object neither of them had ever seen before. Inside the strange object sat an infant.
"Young Master Mu!"
"Young Master Mu!"
The two arrived beside Mu Feiyang and bowed to him. However, after bowing, they froze.
They were completely stunned by the scene before them. The two stared intently at the infant in the strange object, even rubbing their eyes, wondering if they were mistaken.
The infant babbled and waved at the sisters, as if greeting them. If it were just this, the sisters wouldn't have been so shocked.
What shocked them wasn't the infant's actions, but that they could tell this adorable-looking baby, who was about a year old, was already a cultivator at the Innate Realm.
Their entire worldview collapsed. They had cultivated for over ten to twenty years, with one at the sixth level of the Adamantine Realm and the other at the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.
This was despite their considerable talent and their status as princesses of the Xiling Empire, meaning they never lacked cultivation resources.
With their cultivation levels, they were far ahead of most of their peers.
But now? A child of about one year old already possessed the cultivation of the Innate Realm. How could the two not be astonished!
"Ah, it's the two ladies. Perfect timing, you're in for a treat today."
