Xie Jue’s words sound like heavenly music to Xie Zhuolian.

She was thinking about how she should explain to the Xie Family about Xie Zhuang’s and Xie Tong’s death.

Xie Jue walks forward and heaves a long sigh, staring at the two bodies.

Although he didn’t see what happened with his own eyes, he can figure it out. In the Xie Family, most of the people of the young generation dislike Xie Zhuolian, which is very normal. After all, everyone knows that Xie Zhuolian is likely to become the future master of the Xie Family if everything goes smoothly.

Yet, it was too stupid that Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong chose this way.

Especially when Xie Zhuang proposed splitting up, Xie Jue has guessed it.

He just didn’t expect that Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong could be so bold. Neither did he expect that something would happen to Xie Zhuolian despite Gao Ge’s protection.

Yet, staring at Xie Zhuang’s and Xie Tong’s bodies, Xie Jue still feels sad.

Even though it is not Xie Zhuolian’s fault, Xie Tong and Xie Zhuang are still his grandchildren.

It’s still unacceptable for him to see their miserable dead bodies.

“Isn’t Gao Ge here?” Xie Jue suddenly asks.

Xie Zhuolian shakes her head.

“How did they die?” Xie Jue is a bit taken aback.

Xie Zhuolian is his granddaughter. He knows well about her ability.

Xie Tong must be no match for Xie Zhuolian.

However, Xie Zhuang’s ability has far surpassed Xie Zhuolian’s.

Given Xie Zhuolian’s ability, she could hardly survive in face of their joint attack.

“It killed them…” Xie Zhuolian strokes Shuibao in her arms.

Shuibao gnashes its teeth and stares at Xie Jue and Lu Baishuang warily.

Both Xie Jue and Lu Baishuang have imposed stress on Shuibao to some degree.

Just as well they don’t seem to harbor evil designs.

“It did that?” Xie Jue is somewhat shocked. “What is this?”

“A rare beast in the sea of herbs?” Lu Baishuang asks.

“Yeah.” Xie Zhuolian nods. “It’s a rare beast. Its name is Shuibao.”

“Shuibao?” Xie Jue laughs. “You found it?”

“No, Gao Ge found it.” Xie Zhuolian doesn’t hide the truth. She directly tells them that she and Gao Ge found the fall.

She also tells them about running into Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong.

Xie Jue and Lu Baishuang just listen to her quietly.

Xie Jue looks at Shuibao with complicated eyes.

“So, you mean the rare beast can plant herbs?”

“Yes.” Xie Zhuolian nods.

“Well, it’s a good thing indeed,” Xie Jue says with a smile, “If we can take it to our family, maybe it can plant the herbs that belong to the sea of herbs for us! This is the Xie Family’s fortune!”

Shuibao squints at him coldly.

It seems to have regarded Xie Jue as an idiot.

Humph.

What a stupid human!

On what ground can the Xie Family make Shuibao their gardener?

It’s just that Shuibao can’t speak yet. So, it can’t express its thoughts…

After learning about Shuibao’s ability, Xie Jue feels a lot better. He doesn’t take a glance at Xie Zhuang’s and Xie Tong’s bodies. Instead, he tells Xie Zhuolian, “After we go back, if anyone asks about their death, you must say that Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong were killed by the monsters and rare beasts in the sea of herbs.”

“What?” Xie Zhuolian is somewhat dumbfounded. She doesn’t understand why Xie Jue says that.

Xie Jue heaves a sigh and explains, “Otherwise, do you think Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong’s parents will let you go?”

Xie Zhuolian nods with a complicated expression. She still can’t understand why. It was not her fault…

Did she have to meet her death bravely when Xie Zhuang and Xie Tong tried to kill her?

How could that be?

However, she can distinguish right from wrong. She knows that what Xie Jue says is for her own good so she agrees with a nod.

“Zhuolian, you’ve done an amazing job this time!” Xie Jue stares at Shuibao and sighs, his eyes sparkling.

“Grandpa…” Xie Zhuolian is interrupted by Xie Jue before finishing speaking.

“Oh right, the herbs you have found before are not bad. They will be enough for our family to use for quite some years. When Gao Ge comes back, we can leave then.”

Xie Jue is not a greedy man.

Now, he is very clear about how to judge the hour and size up the situation.

Xie Jue wanted to take the opportunity to bring as many herbs as possible.

Surprisingly, Xie Zhuolian and Gao Ge have found Shuibao’s cave, which saves them quite some time. Supposedly, it might take the Xie Family more than three days to find the herbs Xie Zhuolian has acquired by now. Besides, those herbs are quite rare in the sea of herbs. Evidently, Shuibao is quite awesome.

It only plants fine herbs!

This is its style!

Another bang comes.

Xie Jue turns around and looks in the direction where the bang comes.

“Gao Ge is over there,” Xie Zhuolian aside hastens to say.

“Gao Ge?” Xie Jue frowns. After pondering for a while, he turns to look at Lu Baishuang.

Although he hasn’t said anything, Lu Baishuang has understood what he means and then immediately says, “Master, shall we go and take a look?”

“Yeah, take care,” Xie Jue says.

Lu Baishuang grins and leaves with a nod.

“Grandpa, will Gao Ge be fine?” Xie Zhuolian asks cautiously.

Xie Jue doesn’t speak.

He can’t give Xie Zhuolian any answer.

Shuibao leaning in Xie Zhuolian’s arms is not calm now.

In its eyes, the guy who gave him good stuff to eat is a good person.

He has stolen Shuibao’s herbs.

Yet, what he gave it is a lot more valuable than the herbs.

Moreover…

It finds Gao Ge’s Qi so comfortable…

…

In the forest.

Gao Ge elevates his speed by a lot.

The cultivator at the realm of Grand Master brought into the sea of herbs by Shao Shuai has been panting. His strength is about to be exhausted.

Not only is the fire spurted out by the fiery horse powerful but also its fighting capacity is so terrifying.

Even Gao Ge’s Flying Star Sword can only cause certain damage to the fiery horse but it won’t have much impact.

Gao Ge is ruminating.

He is not sure whether the fiery horse can resist the Immortal Finger.

Once Gao Ge uses the Immortal Finger, he will fall into a dangerous situation.

It won’t matter if he exerts the Immortal Finger in another place.

However, they are in the sea of herbs.

God knows what kind of consequence will arise.

Thankfully, no other monsters come to help the fiery horse.

Gao Ge guesses that it may be because this area is the fiery horse’s territory. Other monsters and rare beasts don’t dare to approach it randomly.

Or, those monsters are unwilling to meddle. They even think that if the fiery horse dies, they can occupy its territory.

“Come out, babies!”

Gao Ge shouts.

The golden monkey and the fox spirit both jump out.

“Don’t get funny with me,” the golden monkey says angrily and lights up a cigarette.

Well…

It has long wanted to do this.
