Using Them Together

Chapter 45: Used Together

Fairy Xueyun looked down at her, and the thought of Jiang Wan using Madam Li's fabricated lies to deceive her, almost causing her to make the wrong decision, made it impossible for her to feel any affection for her anymore.

"Yao'er, you are a member of the Li family. Now that you've been taken in as a personal disciple by Venerable Wanhe, you should return to the Li family to acknowledge your ancestors. Don't worry, with your current status, the Li family will only treat you better."

After speaking, she reached out and took Jiang Wan's hand, leading her onto a cloud and leaving. She departed so cleanly and efficiently.

"Mother, Mother—."

Jiang Yao chased a few steps and stopped. A middle-aged man straightened his back and walked to her side.

"Yao'er, I am the Li Family Patriarch and also your paternal uncle. Your father is my third brother, who went out to seek opportunities and has not yet returned. I heard your third sister-in-law is gone, you have my condolences.

I've kept your family's house for you. This is a good time to return to the clan and meet your relatives.

I heard you became Venerable Wanhe's disciple. That's great news. We'll hold a banquet in the clan to celebrate for you later.

Our Li family is a small family. I'm the only Golden Core stage cultivator. Don't look down on us. Shall we go now?"

Jiang Yao turned to look at the Li Family Patriarch and frowned, cursing him internally as a "waste!"

"Uncle, I wouldn't look down on you. After all, the Li family is my home. It's just that my parents are no longer here, and I'm afraid..."

The Li Family Patriarch had only broken through to the Golden Core stage a little over a month ago. This was thanks to the Myriad Talisman Sect returning their daughter and the gift they received. He was able to break through, knowing the importance of a major sect's foundation. He wanted to win Jiang Yao over while she was still young.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We're all family. You are the most promising child in our clan.

Not to mention you're Venerable Wanhe's personal disciple. Pick a few later and see if there are any clan sisters or brothers in the clan that catch your eye. Bring two back to take care of your daily life."

Jiang Yao, with the body of a three-year-old, had actually lived for nearly five hundred years. She saw through his intentions at a glance.

"Alright!"

She got onto his Flying Artifact with the Li Family Patriarch. After flying out of the Great Myriad Sect, Jiang Yao's expression turned serious. She looked at the Li Family Patriarch with a solemn face and asked:

"What do you think of the Li family's strength?"

The Li Family Patriarch looked at the three-year-old little girl sitting on the flying sword in surprise. Her suddenly serious question made him feel very strange.

But to be honest, "Although our Li family's strength is indeed lacking now, there are always infinite possibilities in the future."

Jiang Yao looked at him quietly, her small, serious face suddenly saying:

"It's too weak. I know of a cave mansion with many good things inside. Let's go back and bring people to retrieve the items and use them for the family's cultivation!"

"Really?!"

Seeing the surprised look on the Li Family Patriarch's face, Jiang Yao sneered and nodded.

"Naturally, but there's one condition: from now on, the Li family disciples will obey my command."

The surprise on the Li Family Patriarch's face hadn't faded before he heard Jiang Yao's words, and he was stunned.

Jiang Yao continued, "Don't forget my identity. I can not only bring benefits to the family, but I can also bring benefits to you. After all, I know more than you think."

The Li Family Patriarch was shocked. Was this little child in front of him really only three years old?

Children from major sects were indeed different. He really didn't know how the Myriad Talisman Sect raised their children?

How they raised them, most likely with meticulous care, and perhaps their food was also abnormal.

Jiang Wan was now running out of the courtyard with her short legs.

"Help! Someone's trying to kill a child! Help! Someone's killing a child!"

Zixiang and Ziyun, the two cultivators responsible for taking care of her, watched their siblings play around them, smiling.

"Sister Zixiang, help! This isn't playing, it's really not playing! I don't want to eat Second Brother's 'love' crap! Hurry and take me away, find Mother, I want to find Mother, ahhh!"

Zixiang couldn't do anything. She was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator and couldn't outrun a Golden Core cultivator.

However, she had already blocked her sense of smell. If she could block her vision too, she felt it might be even better.

Muyi was holding a tray with white Spirit Rice, a lump of yellow durian Spiritual Fruit flesh next to it, and shredded deep yellow stinky tofu. Even though there was stir-fried egg made from a first-tier Phoenix Tail Chicken and a first-tier Phoenix Tail Chicken leg, she didn't want to eat it!

Just as she was about to be caught, True Person Nanchen, with white hair, arrived to save her life.

Jiang Wan was lifted up and held in his arms. He sent out a water spiritual power, which transformed into a giant water dragon, heading towards Muyi.

"True Person Muyi, she's your sister, can you please not feed her these strange things?"

Muyi rolled his eyes.

"This is the 'love' meal I carefully prepared for her. Eating it often can help her cultivation grow faster.

There's rice, meat, eggs, and vegetables. How can a child be picky?"

As he spoke, green spiritual power also formed a water dragon, blocking the water dragon. However, the last stream of water splashed onto his 'love' meal, washing the plate clean.

Muyi was speechless. This was his carefully crafted meal.

"It's not good if she only likes to eat chicken legs and not spiritual vegetables. I'm taking care of my sister, you get lost!"

Nanchen turned and left, and he took Jiang Wan with him.

"Leave my sister here."

Jiang Wan urged Nanchen.

"Hurry, my second brother is catching up!"

As she perched on True Person Nanchen's shoulder and saw Muyi about to catch up, Jiang Wan had a sudden impulse, a thought flashing through her mind.

No, my mind can't just 'flash,' it must have been the love-themed spiritual meal that scared me. Fearing being caught by her second brother, she casually took out a Divine Speed Talisman and slapped it onto True Person Nanchen.

Anything from System Bro is top quality.

As the talisman, which could travel a thousand miles, was activated, Jiang Wan felt a whoosh, a blur of colors, and in an instant, they were thousands of miles away in a mountain valley.

No one told her that a thousand miles meant over nine thousand miles, not just one thousand!

Even more shocked than Jiang Wan, True Person Nanchen looked around vigilantly.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Wan explained sheepishly.

"I just got nervous and used the Divine Speed Talisman Master gave me. Oh no, will Second Brother spank my butt when we get back?"

True Person Nanchen was speechless, seeing how scared the child was.

"But, where is this place?"

Jiang Wan didn't know either!

"No idea! The talisman Master gave me is really useful!"

As Jiang Wan finished speaking, the system's voice sounded in her ear.

[Congratulations to the host for starting the treasure hunt journey. The Divine Speed Talisman corresponds to → the ruins of an Ancient Immortal's Mansion.

Friendly reminder, the gate to the Ancient Immortal's Mansion can be smashed open with the Heaven-Overturning Seal.]

This left Jiang Wan completely bewildered. So, this was how the three items the system gave were meant to be used?

For example, if she were injured and trying to escape, using the Divine Speed Talisman would directly transport her to the Ancient Immortal's Mansion, and then...

Alright, alright, this heaven-defying opportunity, even novels wouldn't dare to write it like this.

The only question was, how would this Ancient Immortal's Mansion be triggered?

For now, it was just a valley, and there was nothing else to see. Jiang Wan decided to take out her map and show it to Nanchen.

"Uncle-Master Nanchen, this place looks just like the map Master gave me!"

True Person Nanchen took the map and glanced at it. Seven large characters were written at the top.

'Ancient Chuyao Loose Immortal's Cave Mansion'.
