Come on, I'll show you something nice

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Holy shit, Little Yuyu, you're a real bro! You even sent one of your master's blue talismans!]

After Su Xiaoxiao accepted the red envelope Lin Yu had sent, she found a blue talisman mixed in with the others. It was even a Five Thunder Talisman.

Her first thought was that Uncle Nine might have given it to Lin Yu for protection because he was so young, only for her to ask Lin Yu for it.

Or perhaps Lin Yu had stolen it from Uncle Nine.

She didn't know what grade a blue talisman was, but all the others were yellow. This one stood out, so it had to be rarer.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent sent an exclusive red envelope.]

Without another word, she hurriedly sent all her spare points to Lin Yu.

[Ding~ You claimed Omniscient and Omnipotent's red envelope and obtained 150 points.]

[Lin Yu: I just drew it myself. It's nothing precious.]

Seeing that the group leader had misunderstood, Lin Yu wondered whether he should explain.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: What?! Little Yuyu, you drew all these talismans yourself!?]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Little Yuyu, hurry up and grow up and get stronger. Big sis will be counting on you to protect her from now on.]

[Huang Rong: I don't know what a blue talisman is, but since the group leader says Xiao Yu is amazing, big sis will be counting on you to protect her too, Xiao Yu.]

[Zhang Sanfeng: I never expected Xiao Yu to have such monstrous talent at such a young age.]

[Shi Hao: Is Brother Xiao Yu really amazing? curious.gif]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Go drink your beast milk. You humblebrag all day long.]

[Shi Hao: innocent.gif]

For a moment, most of the chat group's members were stirred into showing themselves.

[Lin Yu: I'm not as amazing as you say. You can do it too if you study hard and practice diligently.]

[Lin Yu: The great group leader is a girl? And what do you need talismans for, Group Leader Big Sis?]

Lin Yu saw that something was wrong. Why were they all praising him to death? He hurriedly changed the subject. He couldn't let them keep going.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Hm? Didn't I say I was a girl?]

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: The main thing is, big sis lives in a world where supernatural horrors are reawakening. I'm in a very dangerous situation right now. A vicious ghost might suddenly pop out and eat me one day. I'm counting on you to protect me now, Xiao Yu. sob sob sob.gif]

After seeing Lin Yu's talent, Su Xiaoxiao shamelessly poured out her troubles to an eight-year-old child.

[Lin Yu: Don't be afraid, Big Sis. If you run into danger, I'll protect you.]

After seeing the group leader's message, Lin Yu thought that since they all saw him as an "eight-year-old" child, he might as well be an innocent little kid. That way, their calculations would be obvious too.

[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Big sis will remember that. I'll stop chatting for now. I have something to take care of here, so I'm going into hiding. @ me if you need anything.]

After finishing his trade with Su Xiaoxiao, Lin Yu spent every day cultivating. To expand his knowledge, he immersed himself in Uncle Nine's study every day.

He even neglected the chat group and barely went on to chat for a whole week.

He still logged into the chat group to check in on time every day, but as the number of check-ins increased, he noticed that he was getting fewer and fewer points.

At first, he could still get over a hundred each time, except for the first. Later, he got only a few dozen, or even just a few.

If he was lucky, he might get a little more.

A week passed like that, and Lin Yu followed Uncle Nine and Wen Cai into town for a stroll.

As for Qiu Sheng, when he heard they were going out for a stroll, he ran off to help at his aunt's place again.

"Hehe, Master, it's rare for you to come out like this," Wen Cai said, chuckling as he held Lin Yu's little hand and followed Uncle Nine.

Walking in front, Uncle Nine rolled his eyes without even turning his head. He strode on by himself, acting as though he didn't know Wen Cai.

Seeing how excited Wen Cai was, Lin Yu secretly covered his face too. This was so embarrassing, with so many people watching.

Back at the funeral home, Uncle Nine often helped people from the surrounding villages, so even though the funeral home was where corpses were kept, plenty of villagers came to bring them food.

But Uncle Nine generally refused payment he hadn't earned. Only when he had actually done something would he accept a little food as a token, enough for him and his disciples to live on.

Today, the master and his disciples had grown tired of staying at the funeral home and decided to come out for some fresh air.

"Good morning, Uncle Nine. Look, these vegetables were just picked from my garden. Take some."

"Mm, morning. No need, Auntie Zhang, no need."

"Come on, Xiao Yu, say hello."

"Good morning, Granny." Pulled forward by Uncle Nine, Lin Yu could only offer a sweet greeting.

"Oh, what a lovely little boy." Seeing how cute Lin Yu looked, Auntie Zhang stroked his little head and pinched his cheek, unable to get enough of him.

"Uncle Nine, I just caught these fish today. Take one."

"No need. Keep them for yourself. I'll be going now."

As they passed the stalls along the way, the villagers made sure to offer Uncle Nine some food, and Lin Yu was forced to greet each of them in turn.

His mouth went dry, but it gave Lin Yu a chance to show his face to the neighbors. They had long heard that Uncle Nine had taken in another little disciple, and that he was terribly cute.

Lin Yu had stayed at the funeral home all this time, though, so they hadn't been able to see him.

Now that they saw him, he really was a lovely little thing, with a sweet tongue to match.

In an instant, Lin Yu won the hearts of the uncles and aunties.

"Uncle Nine, our master would like to invite you to take a look at his feng shui. Would you..." As the three were strolling along, a servant stopped them.

"Mm, wait a moment." Uncle Nine turned and waved Lin Yu and Wen Cai over.

"Wen Cai, here are two silver dollars. Take Xiao Yu around, then have two sets of clothes made for him." Uncle Nine took the coins from his robes and handed them to Wen Cai.

"Yes, Master! I guarantee I'll complete the task." Wen Cai's eyes lit up at the sight of the money.

"Mm. All right, lead the way." After giving his instructions, Uncle Nine motioned for the servant to take him there.

"Come on, Xiao Yu, I'll give you a proper tour of Ren Family Town. Master doesn't know where the fun places are." The moment Uncle Nine left, Wen Cai let his true nature loose and took off running with Lin Yu.

After Wen Cai took Lin Yu to order the clothes, he walked down the street, looking at the hawkers calling out around him. He swallowed at the enticing smell of roast duck.

Unfortunately, the silver dollars Uncle Nine had given him had been just enough to order the clothes. He rummaged in his robes, but there wasn't a single hair left, so he could only lead Lin Yu away dejectedly.

"Hey, Wen Cai, what are you and Xiao Yu doing here? Where's Master?"

Wen Cai was still walking with his head down, imagining himself eating grilled fish, when Qiu Sheng's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Qiu Sheng, it's you. Master went to look at someone's feng shui, so I'm showing Xiao Yu around." Wen Cai looked up and saw that they had unknowingly walked to the entrance of Qiu Sheng's aunt's shop.

"Wen Cai, this must be Xiao Yu. He's so cute. Qiu Sheng, go and have fun with your fellow disciples. I'll look after the shop." Qiu Sheng's aunt heard them calling out and came out to look. Once she saw what was going on, she sent Qiu Sheng off.

"Hey, Qiu Sheng, are you hungry?" Wen Cai asked tentatively when he saw Qiu Sheng.

"Hungry? Didn't we have breakfast this morning? Oh, stop looking. I'll take you to see something nice." Qiu Sheng was puzzled at first, but when he saw Wen Cai staring at the vendors selling roast duck and braised pig heads, he immediately understood. He pulled Wen Cai along and ran off in one direction.

"Hey, Senior Brothers, wait for me!" Seeing how fast they were running, Lin Yu hurried after them on his short little legs.

In the end, Qiu Sheng decided Lin Yu was too slow, so he came back, picked him up, and ran on.

"This is the nice thing you wanted to show me!?"

Standing in the street, Wen Cai pointed at the three characters for the House of Courtesans across the road and stared at Qiu Sheng in shock.

"There are so many people around. Don't go pointing like that. What, isn't it nice?" Qiu Sheng knocked Wen Cai's raised arm down, then spoke with a lecherous look.

"Xiao Yu is still here! If Master finds out, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Wen Cai came to his senses and hurriedly covered Lin Yu's eyes.

The way the women at the entrance of the House of Courtesans were dressed was hard to comment on. Xiao Yu was still young, so it wasn't suitable for him to see.

"What are you afraid of? We're just looking, not going in. Besides, do you have any money?" Qiu Sheng said unconcernedly.

They were only standing across the street and looking. What could happen?
