Summer ended and autumn arrived. Autumn passed and winter came. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed and it was already the twelfth lunar month. Shen Mo had already been in the ancient tomb for a year. In the past year, Shen Mo had been diligently practicing the Nine Yin Scripture. He had already mastered half of the martial arts in the scripture and had also made some progress in his swordsmanship. However, he was still unable to comprehend the sword intent and break through to the Connate Realm.
It was the twelfth lunar month on New Year's Eve. In the middle of the night, Shen Mo and Xiao Longnu, who were waiting in the tomb, suddenly heard the buzzing of the jade outside. They knew that someone had broken into the forest outside the tomb. Xiao Longnu immediately ordered Granny Sun to go out and check. After a while, Granny Sun carried an unconscious youth back to the tomb. Shen Mo saw that the young man was in his teens. Although his face was swollen and injured from being beaten, he could still see that he was quite handsome.
"F * ck! " Yang Guo," Shen Mo said to himself. However, he was not afraid of this little brat. In this year, Shen Mo and Xiao Longnu's relationship had developed rapidly. They could hold hands at will.
Granny Sun hugged the young man and said to Xiao Longnu,""Miss, I went out to check. Only this child was unconscious in the forest with injuries all over his body. He must have been chased by someone and accidentally barged in.”
Xiao Longnu glanced at the youth and said,""Go and get a bottle of jade and give him the Peak Honey Cream.”
Granny Sun agreed and carried the boy to her usual stone room. Not long after, the boy's cries came from Granny Sun's room. His cries became more and more sad.
Xiao Longnu heard that Yang Guo was still crying for a long time, so she walked into Granny Sun's room and asked," Granny Sun, this child is crying non-stop. What is he doing?
Granny Sun smiled." I have no choice. You should come and persuade him."”
Xiao Longnu walked to the side of the bed and reached out to touch the youth's forehead. She then said,""It's nothing. You've already drunk the jade and bee's serum. It'll be fine in half a day. Why did you barge into the forest?"
The young man raised his head and looked at Xiao Longnu blankly. He didn't answer for a moment.
Granny Sun smiled." Sister Long is the owner of this place. Answer whatever she asks you!"”
The youth sat up from the stone couch and jumped down. He kowtowed to Granny Sun and Xiao Longnu and said,""Disciple Yang Guo greets granny and Aunt Long.
Granny Sun beamed and quickly helped her up. She said,"Ah, your name is Yang Guo.”Granny Sun had been influenced by the previous owner of the ancient tomb and hated men very much. As a result, she did not treat Shen Mo as her nose or eyes. Perhaps it was because Yang Guo was still a child, but for some reason, he actually met his eyes at this time, and his heart was filled with indescribable love. Xiao Longnu nodded and sat on a stone chair by the bed. There was only a stone chair beside the bed, and it had already been taken by Xiao Longnu. Shen Mo had no choice but to continue standing at the side.
"Why are you here?" Granny Sun asked again. How did he get injured? Which evil person beat you up like this?”She asked but did not wait for his reply. She went out to get some pastries and cakes for him to eat.
Yang Guo ate a few mouthfuls of pastry and told her everything about his life. He was eloquent, and his words were already pleasant to hear. In addition to the new humiliation, his words were even more agitated. Granny Sun couldn't help but sigh. She often interrupted and commented on him. She even defended him with words. One moment, she said that Huang Rong was biased towards her daughter and acted unfairly. She didn't take care of an orphan. After a while, he reprimanded Zhao Zhijing for being narrow-minded and bullying the child. Xiao Longnu, however, remained calm as she sat leisurely. When she heard Yang Guo mention Li Mochou, she exchanged glances with Granny Sun. Hearing Yang Guo's words, Granny Sun stretched out her arms and pulled him into her embrace, saying,"My poor child."
Xiao Longnu slowly stood up." His injuries are not serious. Granny, send him out!"”
Granny Sun and Yang Guo were both stunned. "I'm not going back, I'm not going back even if I die!" Yang Guo shouted.”
Granny Sun said,"Miss, when this child returns to Chong Yang Palace, his master will definitely make things difficult for him."”
"Send him back and tell his master not to make things difficult for the child," Xiao Longnu said.”
"Sigh, we can't interfere in the matters of other sects," Granny Sun said.”
Xiao Longnu said,"Send a bottle of jade and honey to him. Then, tell him that the old Daoist can't disobey."”Her words were gentle, but her tone was dignified and difficult to disobey. Granny Sun sighed, knowing that she was stubborn and that it was useless to say anything more. She looked at Yang Guo with pity in her eyes. Shen Mo had not thought of how to deal with this original " protagonist ", so he did not interrupt.
Yang Guo suddenly stood up and bowed to the two of them, saying,"Thank you for treating me, Grandma and Aunt. I'm leaving!”
"Where are you going?" Granny Sun asked.”
Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, then said,"The world is so big, it's easy to go anywhere."”Although he said this, he couldn't help but reveal a sad expression.
Granny Sun said," Child, it's not that our lady doesn't want to let you stay over. It's because there are strict rules here. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Don't be sad."”
"What are you talking about, granny?" Yang Guo said proudly. Thank you, Grandma and Aunt. We will meet again in the future. Yang Guo will never forget your kindness.”He spoke like an adult, but his voice was young and tender, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing that he was pitiful, Granny Sun said to Xiao Longnu,""Young lady, it's so late at night, let him go tomorrow morning.”
Xiao Longnu shook her head slightly." Granny, have you forgotten the rules Master told you about?" she asked.”
Granny Sun sighed and stood up. She whispered to Yang Dao,"Come, child, I'll give you something to play with.”
Yang Guo wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, lowered his head, and ran out of the door, shouting,"I don't want to. I won't go back to the smelly Taoist priest even if I die.”
Granny Sun shook her head." You don't know the way. I'll take you out."”She stepped forward and held his hand as they walked out of the tomb.
After a while, Granny Sun returned to the tomb and found Xiao Longnu.
"Did you send the child back?" Xiao Longnu asked. Why are you back so soon?"
Granny Sun said,"Miss, let's keep the child."”Without waiting for Xiao Longnu to speak, he continued,""Just now, when I brought that kid out, those stinky Daoists from Quan Zhen Sect came looking for me. That group of stinky Taoist priests pulled that child over and beat him up in front of me. Fortunately, I snatched it back in time. Otherwise, if they pulled him back to the Taoist temple, I don't know how to torture him. Miss, please have mercy and let him stay.”
"Master once set a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter. You know that," Xiao Longnu said.”
"But if we don't take him in, where will he go when he's just a child?" Granny Sun asked.”
"He is a disciple of the Quan Zhen Sect, so his elders will take care of him.”
Granny Sun said," But those stinky Daoists from Quan Zhen Sect don't treat him well. They only know how to beat and torture him."”
Xiao Longnu shook her head and refused.
After that, Granny Sun begged Xiao Longnu for a long time, but no matter how much she begged, Xiao Longnu refused to take Yang Guo in.
"Miss, are you not going to keep the child no matter what?" Granny Sun asked sternly.”
Xiao Longnu nodded.
"Alright, then I'll go with that child," Granny Sun said angrily.”With that, he turned around and left.
