Chapter 197: The Scholar Wandering the World

This trip was mainly to accompany Su Ling'er out for fun.

As long as Su Ling'er is happy, that is all that matters; he does not care about anything else.

It is rare for Su Ling'er to have someone to chat and play with, so he would let her have a good time.

At this moment, Qiu Nan's two guards glanced at him, but then lowered their guard.

In a short while, the group arrived at the city gate.

They entered the city very smoothly; in fact, seeing that the two were with Qiu Nan, the guards did not stop them at all and let them in directly.

Su Yu entered the city, and found that this city actually had quite a few unique characteristics.

It was decorated with lanterns and streamers everywhere.

It looked as if they were celebrating some special festival, completely devoid of the distinct atmosphere of the War between Immortals and Demons currently raging outside.

Perhaps Qiu Nan noticed Su Yu's curiosity.

"You have arrived at the perfect time; today is a special festival for our city."

"The Joyous Festival."

"During this festival, the people in this city will fully relax their bodies and minds and enjoy a happy time."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling'er exclaimed, "The Joyous Festival, the Joyous Festival!"

After saying that, she pulled the other Little Girl along to go play.

Su Yu looked around and realized, "It seems we have arrived at just the right time."

Qiu Nan pointed to the happy crowd around them, "Sir, do you feel that our place is a bit different?"

"The War between Immortals and Demons has already broken out outside, yet we are still so unhurried here."

Su Yu nodded.

"Actually, we all feel that our place is too remote and has no value; there is not even a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"The Demon Race will not care about our city, and there is nothing special here."

"The people in this city think that since the war has already broken out, worrying about it is useless. This place is already remote enough; if the Demon Race still comes here, they will just accept their fate."

"Rather than wandering around, it is better to enjoy the moment."

"None of us have the ability to save the war, so it is better to just stay here and live our usual lives, as long as we do not cause trouble for others."

Su Yu actually thought it was quite good. He did not think the Demon Race would have nothing better to do than run here. If the War between Immortals and Demons had not broken out, it might have been possible for them to come here to hide.

But now that the war has fully broken out, the Demon Race basically will not come to this kind of place; the affairs of the Eight Great Sects are enough to keep them busy.

How would they have the leisure to care about these places?

However, there was one point he needed to correct: it was not that there were no resources in this vicinity.

It could be said that there were good things here that people of the Southern Region could hardly imagine.

It was just that they could not discover them, which is why they felt that way.

Su Yu looked around, "I think this idea is not bad."

Su Yu looked at the appearance of the city and strolled around for a while with Qiu Nan and the others.

On the road, quite a few people greeted Qiu Nan.

Clearly, this Qiu Nan was quite popular in this city.

Su Ling'er brought the other Little Girl to Su Yu's side.

Su Yu could also see that the other Little Girl seemed to be tired from playing.

Seeing this, Qiu Nan said, "Sir and Ling'er, would you like to come to my home to rest? I feel that I have quite a connection with you and Ling'er."

Su Ling'er looked at Su Yu; it was obvious she wanted to go.

"Very well, then I will trouble you, Young Miss Qiu."

Before long, the two arrived at the Qiu Manor.

Looking at this imposing Qiu Manor, it seemed that Qiu Nan's Family had high prestige in this city.

Su Yu also sensed the presence of a Cultivator inside.

However, the cultivation level was not high, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Although there was not much difference from a Mortal outside…

…in this area, it was already considered quite impressive.

The highest cultivation level in this city was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

That fifth level of Qi Refining was the City Lord.

Therefore, the master of the Qiu Manor was already considered a top-tier existence in this area.

The guards at the gate saw their Young Miss return.

They hurriedly walked over to welcome her.

Qiu Nan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. These two are friends I met on the road; I am bringing them here to rest."

"Young Miss, please enter."

The two guards watching the gate suddenly felt healed.

After watching Qiu Nan and the others enter, the two guards spoke, "Young Miss is truly gentle, completely different from the atmosphere inside the Qiu Manor. I wonder if it is a misfortune or a blessing that Young Miss was born into the Qiu Manor."

Qiu Nan brought the two of them to her courtyard.

The group sat down.

Qiu Nan ordered others to bring up quite a bit of food.

Su Ling'er ate without ceremony, "Delicious."

Afterward, she went to play in the courtyard with the other Little Girl.

Qiu Nan poured a cup of tea for Su Yu, "Sir, please have some tea."

Su Yu had already seen the situation of this Family just now.

It was just as those two guards had said.

Just as Su Yu was still drinking tea.

A middle-aged man walked over, looking somewhat similar to Qiu Nan.

Before he even arrived, his voice came, "I heard my daughter has returned and even brought guests back."

Qiu Nan stood up to greet him.

"Father, these are a father and daughter I met on the road. I felt we had quite a connection, so I brought them here to rest."

"No problem, no problem."

Qiu Ren looked at Su Yu; this person had quite a refined air.

"I wonder where Your Excellency is from?"

Su Yu looked at Qiu Ren and said, "I am just a scholar, wandering the world with my daughter."

Qiu Ren did not say much more, pulling Qiu Nan to the side to discuss something.

Su Yu did not care about these things.

He just watched Su Ling'er playing with others in the courtyard.

This was someone else's Family matter, and he would not interfere.

Just then, a Little Boy came to Su Yu's side, "I heard you wander the world. Uncle, have you ever seen a master at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Su Yu looked at the Little Boy's expectant gaze, "I have seen masters at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but I could only watch from afar. That kind of existence is something I cannot imagine."

The Little Boy heard this and said, "Really? I have always wanted to see a master at the Foundation Establishment Stage. We have never had one appear here. I heard they can fly in the sky."

"My dream is to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Su Yu smiled, "I believe you will be able to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage."

The Little Boy was extremely happy upon hearing this, "I really wonder what kind of Spiritual Root I will be able to detect today."

"In the future, I want to become a master at the Foundation Establishment Stage to uphold justice."

Su Yu looked at the Little Boy, "Keep it up."

Su Yu had already seen what kind of Spiritual Root the Little Boy had; it was a Four-Spiritual Root.

It is not very difficult for this Spiritual Root to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, but it is quite difficult to go any further.

The birth of this child might make the situation of this Family much better.

Qiu Nan returned shortly after.

Seeing Su Yu and her younger brother chatting, appearing very happy.

After the Little Boy left.

Qiu Nan said, "This younger brother of mine is the one on whom my father pins his hopes."

My father has wanted a child in his life who could surpass him and reach that so-called Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now it has developed to the point of obsession.

So he took many concubines.

Just to be able to give birth to a better Spiritual Root; for this, he could be said to be unscrupulous.

So you can probably guess the situation of my Family.

Sometimes I also want to be like you, Mr. Su, and wander the world to see the world.

Su Yu only said, "Perhaps things will get better later on."

Qiu Nan nodded, "I hope so."

Afterward, Su Yu did not stay for too long; he still had things to do this time.

Before long, he said goodbye to Qiu Nan and the others.

He still had to go and retrieve that item, something that would be of great help to him later on.
