  "Girl, Grandpa can't mobilize the spiritual energy in his body for now. I'll tell you the details later. Someone is coming soon, be extremely careful..." Mo Danyan heard the sound of horseshoes hurrying to transmit...

  Mo Qingchu nodded and wiped away her tears with her sleeve. Although she had a spiritual sense that allowed her to scout out the situation in advance, Grandfather's spiritual energy couldn't be mobilized at present, and she was only at the third layer of Qi refinement herself. It was better not to act rashly, who knew what kind of person was coming?

  The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and it gradually became clear that it was a worn-out horse cart without a canopy, pulled by an old mixed-breed horse with great effort. On top sat a man in coarse linen clothes with a dark complexion, holding a whip casually in his right hand but not whipping the horse. Sitting shoulder to shoulder with him was a boy of about ten years old, also very dark-skinned.

  There were many large baskets on the carriage, covered with lids.

  Mo Qingchen and Grandfather exchanged a glance, these two people who came were just ordinary people.

  The carriage soon arrived in front of them, the horse's hooves splashing up dust and smoke on the small yellow road. The man driving the carriage seemed not to have seen Mo Qingchen and the other person hiding in the grass by the side of the road, and was about to drive the carriage past them.

  After some deliberation, Mo Qingchen made up his mind.

  "Uncle, help! Please!" Mo Qingchen suddenly rushed onto the small path, fell to the ground and shouted with his face up.

  "Whoa!" The man in a hurry pulled the reins, shouting, and the old horse let out a long whinny, lifting its two front hooves high.

  Mo Qingdun was suddenly covered in dust from head to toe by the dust that came flying towards him.

  "You're courting death!" The man jumped off his horse carriage and scolded Mu Qingchen.

  "Uncle, please help us, my grandfather is not feeling well. Can you take us for a bit? Just drop us off somewhere with people and that's fine." Mo Qingchen said pitifully.

  The man eyed Mo Qingchen suspiciously and followed his direction to see an old man with white hair under the big tree.

  "How...how did you end up here?" the man asked hesitantly.

  I really didn't expect this man to look like an ordinary farmer, but he's quite cautious.

  "My grandfather and I were originally going to visit relatives, but unexpectedly encountered robbers on the way. We were beaten unconscious, and when we woke up again, we found ourselves here, uncle. Where is this place?" Mo Qingchen said, his voice trembling with tears, feeling lost and helpless.

  The man took a look at the light gauze dress on Mo Qingchen's body, although it was damaged and stained with blood, but it was clearly made of good material. He then looked at the old man's clothes and believed Mo Qingchen's words a little more.

  It seems that a rich family's grandfather and grandson went out and were targeted by thieves. However, it is quite strange for them to appear here.

  The man frowned, seemingly deep in thought. Mo Qingchen felt anxious in her heart. She and her grandfather were currently in an unknown environment, and they didn't know where they were or how her grandfather's body was doing. They couldn't stay in this desolate wilderness forever.

  No matter what, let this person bring them up, if they can inquire about the situation it would be even better. Looking at this person's appearance, they seem to have a discerning eye. In case they don't believe her or are unwilling to get into trouble, then one can't blame oneself for being too strong-willed.

  To be honest, a cultivator of the third layer of Qi Refining may not have any advantage over an ordinary adult male. If this person has martial arts skills and the cultivator has a weak foundation without talismans or other aids, they will almost certainly lose.

  Fortunately, Mo Qingchen had not given up practicing the Orchid Finger Technique in the past two years, and there were some talismans in her storage bag, which gave her a bit of confidence. Besides, it was unlikely that she would run into a skilled martial artist just by chance, or else she would be extremely unlucky.

  "Uncle, please be kind, my grandfather is old and can't afford to delay any longer." Mo Qingchen pleaded.

  The man hesitated for a moment.

  "Dad, why don't you bring them along? We're heading to Tianyao City anyway." The little boy who had been quietly sitting in the carriage and was suddenly ignored by Mo Qingchen spoke up.

  "Alright, get on the carriage. However, this horse-drawn vehicle is for transporting goods, so I'm afraid you two will have to squeeze in together." The man made up his mind after hearing his son's words.

  Mo Qingchen smiled and said: "Thank you, uncle."

  After finishing speaking, she turned her head and ran to Mo Dayan's side, stretching out her hand to support him.

  Unexpectedly, the man who had been hesitant earlier really agreed to let them get on the carriage and even walked over enthusiastically to help Mo Qingchen settle Mo Danyan into the horse-drawn vehicle.

  Mo Danyan kept his eyes closed, and the father-son duo thought he was unconscious. Instead, they felt a little more pity for Mo Qingchen, who was also secretly worried about Grandpa's condition, which seemed to be really bad.

  The man shook the reins and the old horse began to pull the carriage forward again.

  The old horse carriage carried four people forward, Mo Qingchen secretly congratulated himself on his quick decision. After walking for so long, they hadn't seen anyone else on this road. Book lovers also like to read:

  "Uncle, where is Tianyao City? Is it very far away?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  Along the way, Mo Qingchen intentionally chatted with the father and son duo. She was young, had a sweet mouth, and although she was disheveled, she couldn't hide her lovely appearance. In just a short while, she put the man at ease, and he began to speak more freely.

  "Don't worry, girl, we're almost there, but it's quite far from our village." The man chuckled.

  "Oh, uncle, are you going to sell something?" Mo Qingchen said, looking at the full basket.

  The man nodded: "It's not possible, so I took a shortcut. Otherwise, when we arrived in the city, it would be dark already. Shunzi, bring some fruit for her."

  "Ah." The boy responded, lifted the basket, and handed several peaches to Mo Qingchen.

  Mo Qingchen gazed at the plump and watery peaches, momentarily dazed. If she were still in the Mo Manor, it would probably be time to brew peach wine now.

  "What's wrong, girl? Don't you like peaches? Let Shunzi change it for you with other fruits." the man said.

  It never occurred to him that the black-faced man who had put down his guard would be a kind-hearted person. Mo Qingchen hastily said, "No, it's just that I feel like I'm dreaming, originally everything was fine, but then suddenly we encountered robbers and Grandfather ended up in that state, now even he doesn't know where he is."

  Hei Xiaozi looked at Shunzi with an incredulous expression and said: "Sister, you haven't even heard of Tianyao City? Really?"

  The black-faced man glared at his son and said, "You little brat, she's a girl, still young, what's so special about her?" He thought to himself, this little girl is obviously from a wealthy family, it's said that the young ladies of those wealthy families are raised in seclusion since childhood, rarely leaving their homes, so it's natural they wouldn't know these things.

  Mo Qingchen smiled silently, Book lovers also like to read:

  The man looked at Mo Qingchen and said, "Girlie, don't listen to that stinky little brat. But if your grandfather wakes up, he'll definitely know what Tianyao City is."

  Mo Qingchen said in a low voice, "Isn't this Tianyao City still a big city like the Imperial Capital? From what these two father and son are saying, it seems to be common knowledge. Fortunately, I was the one who came forward, if Grandfather had come instead, he might have aroused their suspicion."

  "Uncle, Shunzi brother, tell me what Tianyao City is like, I don't know at all and my heart is a bit anxious..." Mo Qingchen said with his head lowered.

  "Tianyao City is so big, much bigger than our village, I don't know how many times bigger. There are many delicious foods there, and what's more, it's inhabited by many immortals." Shunzi said with a flying brow and a dancing color.

  Mo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he involuntarily glanced at his grandfather.

  Mo Danyan still had her eyes tightly closed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

  Tianyao City, is it a city where immortals and mortals coexist? The Luoshui City where the Mo family lives is also a place where immortals and mortals coexist, but in fact, except for ordinary people from the four major families who moved out, most of the common people believe in the existence of immortals, but can't confirm it. But listening to this boy's words, Tianyao City seems to be different.

  "Girl, I'm reminding you of one thing. Once we're in the city, be careful with your actions. When you see those immortals, don't go provoking them. Although they usually won't bother us ordinary people, if you were to anger them, the consequences would be severe." The man cautioned.

  "I understand, thank you, uncle." Mo Qingchen said cleverly.

  The man glared at his son and said, "Look at others, they are younger than you but more sensible. Every time we go to the city and see an immortal, you want to rush up to them. If I hadn't stopped you, who knows what kind of trouble you would have gotten into."

  "Dad, I'm just curious, those immortals are so powerful. It would be great if there was a fairy teacher who could take me as an apprentice." Shunzi said with a smile, while the other book friends looked on normally.

  "You're always daydreaming, look at those immortal masters, how many of them have apprentices? Your father is afraid you'll get entangled with them, what if you run into one with a bad temper and get hurt? Foolish child, in the eyes of those immortals, we mortals are no different from ants."

  "Got it, Dad." Shunzi lowered his head.

  Looking at his son's dejected appearance, the man couldn't help but feel some sympathy and continued: "However, it's not like there's no chance. I heard that the Yao Guang Sect recruits disciples between the ages of 5 to 15 every ten years..."

  As soon as the man's words came out, Mo Daxian suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashed, and then closed again.

  "Dad, you must take me there then." Shunzi said excitedly.

  The man nodded, but in his heart he sighed and said, "Son, you don't know that your father also went to participate many years ago. To become an immortal, one must have a spiritual root."

  Mo Qingchen was shocked in his heart, wondering where he had arrived, how an ordinary person could understand so much about the Xian Tian realm. He said on the surface: "Uncle, is the Yao Guang Sect a sect composed of immortals?"

  It seems that this topic opened the man's mouth, and he said: "That's right, those immortals have established many sects, and there are countless numbers. However, Tianyao City is a city within the sphere of influence of the Yao Guang Sect, and we villages under Tianyao City naturally also belong to the Yao Guang Sect if we want to join a sect."

  "Uncle, you know a lot, but how did you know which ones are immortals?" Mo Qingchen asked.

  The man smiled: "Well, these are all well-known things. The Yao Guang Sect's once-a-decade opening of the door to recruit disciples is a grand event. As for how to distinguish, most immortals wear Taoist robes, and some immortal masters dare not look at you with one glance, naturally knowing that they are not ordinary people."

  It turned out to be the case, and Mo Qingchen let out a sigh of relief.

  "Dad, Dad, we've arrived at Tianyao City." Shunzi jumped up excitedly.
