A few days later, Notting Academy was about to begin classes, but Yun Xiao Feng and the others felt they could head there a little early.
At the entrance to the village stood Tang San, Old Jack, Yun Xiao Feng, Li Xiao Hua, and Li Xiao Hua's father. They all sat on a cart together.
It was a simple flatbed cart.
Li Xiao Hua's father drove it.
Yun Xiao Feng and the others sat in the cart.
Tang San and Yun Xiao Feng ignored each other.
After resting and recuperating for some time, Tang San felt that his looks had returned.
But he did not dare duel Yun Xiao Feng.
Because once Yun Xiao Feng got close to him, Tang San would not be able to escape.
That was the conclusion he had reached after their last brawl.
Before he found a way to counter it, he did not dare act rashly.
"Grandpa Jack, this road needs repairs. My butt hurts from all the bouncing."
The road had already been poor to begin with, full of potholes, and they were riding in a flatbed cart on top of that. Forget Yun Xiao Feng—even Tang San could barely take it.
"Ah, child, you don't understand! Repairing this road would cost a lot of money," Li Xiao Hua's father said from the front as he drove.
"I don't know the exact amount, but it would take a lot. At least a thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
Yun Xiao Feng suddenly leaned close to Village Chief Jack's ear and whispered a few words. Tang San and the others truly did not hear them.
"Child, is what you said true?" Old Jack excitedly stood up from the cart.
His action gave Li Xiao Hua's father, who was driving, a huge fright.
Tang San and Li Xiao Hua were startled as well.
Not only because Jack was old, but also because there was nothing at all on the flatbed cart for him to hold onto. Even Yun Xiao Feng was frightened.
"Grandpa Jack, stay calm. Calm down! This is nothing, and you're already like this. What if our village produces another Soul Saint someday? What then?"
Yun Xiao Feng immediately helped Old Jack sit back down on the flatbed cart.
After all, Old Jack was one of Holy Soul Village's treasures.
Though he was old, he was fair and just and never played favorites. He did that exceptionally well!
Thus, his prestige throughout Holy Soul Village was extremely high.
The reason he was so excited was that Yun Xiao Feng had told him how many Gold Soul Coins were in the jar beneath his bed. There were several thousand of them.
How could he not be shocked?
Notting City was actually just a small city. Yet it had an elementary Soul Master academy that enrolled children between the ages of six and twelve.
Students could graduate from this elementary Soul Master academy once their Soul Power reached level fifteen. So Yun Xiao Feng had come here entirely to mess with Tang San—and to steal his rabbit.
Xiao Wu, a soul beast who had taken human form and cultivated anew, was as pure and innocent as a blank sheet of paper. Yun Xiao Feng would not let that bastard Tang San get his way.
"Xiao Feng Gege, tell me, what kind of books should I ask Grandmaster Su Yuntao for?"
Li Xiao Hua's words brought Yun Xiao Feng back to reality.
"Hmm... I think, Xiao Hua, you could take the support path and then focus on healing. You should know that Healing Soul Masters are quite sought after on the continent.
"Even if they're only two-ringed Soul Grand Masters.
"Of course, don't be discouraged.
"And Healing Soul Masters are never short of money.
"As long as you remain in Holy Soul Village, once outsiders learn that Holy Soul Village has a Healing Soul Master, they'll all come here.
"At the same time, it'll boost the economic development around Holy Soul Village!
"Then Grandpa Jack can take the lead in setting up some side businesses. Everyone in Holy Soul Village will see you as their idol."
Yun Xiao Feng's speech left everyone dumbfounded.
Even Tang San was stunned speechless.
Especially the part about boosting Holy Soul Village's economy. It surprised both Old Jack and Li Xiao Hua's father in the front of the cart. They had never expected such a young child to analyze things so clearly.
"Good child, what a good child! I didn't dote on you all this time for nothing." Old Jack became excited again.
Just as he was about to stand, Yun Xiao Feng pressed him back down.
Yun Xiao Feng truly feared that if anything happened to Old Jack in the future, he would become a terrible sinner.
In the original story, it seemed that when that bastard Tang San became a god, Holy Soul Village was renamed God Soul Village.
Tang San had no sense of belonging toward Holy Soul Village at all. Other than returning once during his first semester, he never went back again.
He was a typical ungrateful little brat.
They arrived at Notting City. Looking at the bustling streets and the sea of bobbing heads—
There were stalls selling fruit, soul beast meat,
and clothing shops. All kinds of goods filled the streets.
Notting City was not very large. It was square in shape.
The city lord's surname was Xiao, and he was a level forty-one Soul Ancestor.
He was already the strongest expert in Notting City.
The buildings in the city were generally only two or three stories tall.
That alone showed that Notting City was not as prosperous as some larger cities.
When Yun Xiao Feng saw Notting City, he found it merely ordinary.
After all, he had lived in the Imperial Capital, Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial City for a very long time!
"Grandpa Jack, Uncle Li, let's go to Spirit Hall first and help Xiao Hua gather some books! I think the people at Spirit Hall should be pretty nice."
Li Xiao Hua thought so too, at least after getting to know Su Yuntao.
The group arrived at Spirit Hall.
Notting City's Spirit Hall was, at most, a tiny Martial Soul Sub-Hall. The strongest person there was only at the Soul Elder realm.
But after arriving at Spirit Hall, Old Jack naturally became extremely excited. He bowed to the guard and asked politely,
"Sir, may I ask if Grandmaster Su Yuntao is inside? He invited us here."
The Soul Master standing guard at Spirit Hall replied politely as well.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go invite Grandmaster Su Yuntao right away."
"Alright," Old Jack replied, then waited where he was for a moment.
Su Yuntao came out. When he saw Li Xiao Hua and the others, he was incredibly enthusiastic.
What medicine had this single dog taken today?
That was what Yun Xiao Feng thought.
Su Yuntao then handed Li Xiao Hua a book on how to meditate and cultivate Soul Power. Afterward, as Li Xiao Hua had hoped, he gave her several books on support-type Soul Masters and Healing Soul Masters.
Only then did everyone part ways.
Li Xiao Hua and her father returned to Holy Soul Village first.
That left only the three of them wandering around Notting City.
Yun Xiao Feng then bought Grandpa Jack plenty of food, all of it with a long shelf life.
He also bought quilts, bedding, and other four-piece bedding sets from a bedding shop, then stored them all in his spatial Soul Tool.
Tang San was left dumbfounded by the sight. Only now did he realize how miraculous this world was—there were actually spatial storage devices.
He was insanely envious.
But when he heard that Yun Xiao Feng's family had spent tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins to buy that jade pendant, his enthusiasm instantly died.
He was not a real rich second-generation heir. He was someone who had never even seen his own mother.
And his father looked like nothing more than a drunkard. How could he possibly have money? Thus, Tang San's dream of being a rich second-generation heir vanished.
