"Junior Sister, would you like to return to your cave abode to make some preparations?"
Two hours later, they were near Colorful Lotus Mountain, and Liu Yu had finished explaining all the key points of combat between cultivators. He asked without turning around.
"There's no need. I usually stay at Golden Star Market Ward, and there's nothing important in my cave abode, so I don't need to go back and pack."
"I'll just go to Colorful Lotus Mountain with you, Senior Brother."
Jiang Qiushui spoke softly, still holding him tightly without letting go.
Liu Yu nodded slightly at this, then asked:
"How are the arrangements at Jade Pill Hall? You have all the second-tier pills with you, don't you?"
An awkward look appeared on Jiang Qiushui's face at his question, and she said:
"When Qiu Shui received the sect's summons, time was short, so I closed the shop immediately and told the staff to go home and rest."
"There were still a few things I didn't have time to deal with."
"I have the second-tier pills in my Storage Bag, but some of the first-tier pills are still in the shop or with the staff."
"Now that the Sect-Defending Array has been activated, we can't send any messages out, so there's no way to retrieve those first-tier pills."
At this point, frustration showed on her face. Clearly, she felt she had failed to handle things properly.
"It's fine. It wasn't your fault. This happened suddenly, and we cannot defy the sect's will."
"Besides, a few first-tier pills aren't worth many spirit stones."
Liu Yu spoke expressionlessly.
Those first-tier pills were worth around a thousand spirit stones. To him now, that truly was an insignificant sum.
"Thank you for understanding, Senior Brother."
Jiang Qiushui smiled at his words.
A brief silence
