Chapter 324 Return to Shenlu City
Xiao Batian waved his hand tiredly, signaling people to take Xiao Yanhe and his wife away.
"grandfather……"
Xiao Wanwan's eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness and worry. She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hands, and supported Xiao Batian's slightly trembling body.
At this moment, Xiao Batian's originally serious and resolute face revealed a trace of sadness that was difficult to conceal.
Xiao Wanwan keenly noticed this change, and a deep feeling of worry surged in her heart.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"Grandpa is fine, Wanwan, don't worry!"
Xiao Batian slowly turned his head and gave a reassuring smile to the well-behaved and sensible granddaughter in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Xiao Wanwan's head, ruffling her long hair tenderly, his eyes full of doting.
"Will Wanwan blame Grandpa for being too harsh?"
He was still worried about the little girl Xiao Wanwan. After all, they were her biological parents, and he was afraid that the little girl would feel sorry for her.
What surprised Xiao Batian was that Xiao Wanwan didn't hesitate at all. Instead, she straightened her small body and answered seriously.
"Grandpa, you did the right thing! They were the ones who were disloyal and unfilial first, so you can't blame anyone else!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Batian was stunned at first, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, Wanwan is right! It's a pity that they have lived for so many years in vain, and no one has ever understood life as clearly as a little kid."
At this time, Master Yu Yuan on the side suddenly spoke.
"Master Xiao, I see you still have some family matters to deal with, and I also have some things to do at Brahma Academy.
Since Wanwan has also gone home, we will say goodbye first.
When things are over, let Wanwan come back and stay for a few days."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Batian's face showed reluctance, but he also knew that the Xiao family was in turmoil now, and that Master Yu Yuan and the others would be too busy to take care of them even if they stayed for a while.
Thinking of this, he nodded slowly.
"Master Yu Yuan is absolutely right. I'm so sorry to have made such a fool of myself. In the future, when you come to visit me again, I will definitely treat you well."
The two walked side by side and talked as they walked out.
Although Xiao Wanwan was reluctant to leave, she knew very well that this was not the time to be sentimental or fussy.
Sect Leader Yu Yuan politely declined the offer of farewell from Xiao Batian, Xiao Junhe and others, and left Tianyin City with Xiao Wanwan and her fellow disciples.
The group boarded Master Yu Yuan's spaceship and headed for the Holy Land.
Seeing that Xiao Wanwan was in a bad mood, Yun Mubai and the other three tried to cheer her up in various ways.
Xiao Wanwan was originally an open-minded person who did not care about trivial matters. Seeing that everyone cared about her so much, her mood quickly improved.
It didn't take long for the gloom on her face to disappear and her mood returned to normal.
Anyway, I can come back and visit again in the future. It’s not a life-and-death separation.
The journey went smoothly and the spaceship landed with the group outside the gate of Shenlu City.
"Snapped!"
Xiao Wanwan looked up at the divine deer on the gate tower that was spreading its wings and ready to fly, and suddenly slapped herself hard on the forehead.
The crisp sound of slapping instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Wanwan, why are you hitting yourself for no reason?"
Feng Lizhou asked with a curious look on his face.
"Hey... I once promised a grandfather to help him find the whereabouts of his missing child, but I still have no clues."
"What missing child?"
Sect Leader Yu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the gate tower of Shenlu City and looked at Xiao Wanwan.
"Master, there's a couple who run an inn in Shenlu City. They say their daughter, Nishang, once went to the Holy Land to participate in the entrance exams for Brahma Academy. They haven't heard from her since, and it's unknown whether she's alive or dead."
"Nice clothes?"
Master Yu Yuan murmured something and lowered his head in deep thought.
"Master, do you know this person called Nishang?"
When Xiao Wanwan saw Master Yu Yuan's expression, she couldn't help but feel happy.
Since she entered Brahma College, she had asked some old students about Nishang, but no one knew her.
Master Yu Yuan nodded slowly, then shook his head uncertainly.
"I seem to have heard this name somewhere, but she definitely didn't participate in the student selection for Brahma College."
Although the number of candidates for the Brahma Academy student selection is not small, it is not particularly large.
Every time, the list of students selected would be reviewed by these masters.
At their level, their spiritual awareness is so strong that they can almost remember everything they see.
That's why he could say with certainty that Nishang had never participated in the student selection for Brahma Academy.
As for why he felt familiar with this name, it was probably because he had heard this name in someone's conversation before.
"oops!"
Xiao Wanwan sighed softly, and her originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant. She looked like an eggplant hit by frost, with her head drooping listlessly.
At this moment, her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, and she almost lost the courage to take a step forward to meet the shopkeeper and his wife.
She was really afraid to see in the eyes of the shopkeeper and his wife the transformation from the initial eager expectations to the deep, heartbreaking disappointment later.
"Let's go! Wanwan, don't be too depressed! It's not easy to find someone who has been missing for a long time in the Holy Land."
Master Yu Yuan patted Xiao Wanwan's shoulder in amusement.
The sanctuary is already full of filth and corruption. How easy is it to find someone who has been missing for many years?
Who knows, the Nishang that Wanwan mentioned might have already passed away.
"Wanwan, don't worry! The brothers will accompany you in the search from now on."
Yun Mubai's eyes were gentle, and he spoke soothingly and softly.
"Big Brother is right. We will help you find it later."
Chu Yanhao and Dong Yi also came over and echoed Yun Mubai's words.
"Okay, let's go meet the shopkeeper first!"
After hearing these words, Xiao Wanwan slowly raised her head and glanced at the concerned faces of Sect Leader Yu Yuan and Yun Mubai in turn, feeling a little more at ease.
The group entered Shenlu City, and Xiao Wanwan led everyone to the inn where they had stayed before with ease.
Although five years have passed, the inn still looks the same as before.
Xiao Wanwan hesitated and lingered at the door of the inn for a while, then gritted her teeth and walked in.
"How many rooms does the guest need..."
The round-faced shopkeeper standing at the counter inside the gate saw someone coming in, smiled and asked politely.
When his gaze fell on Xiao Wanwan, a light of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, little girl! It's you! Come on... come on! Old lady, bring the tea!"
He was so excited that he ran out from the counter, almost incoherent.
"Oh, you old man! Really, you're howling like a ghost all day long."
The slightly hoarse voice of Hong Yi came from the backyard, making Xiao Wanwan look a little stunned.
"Little girl, please take a seat! Who are these people?"
The round-faced shopkeeper gave a warm welcome, but when he saw the awe-inspiring demeanor of Master Yu Yuan and his companions, he began to have some guesses in his mind.
"Oh... Grandpa Shopkeeper, this is Master Yu Yuan from Brahma Academy, and these are my senior brothers."
When the round-faced shopkeeper heard Xiao Wanwan's introduction, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation and uneasiness in his heart.
Is there any news about his Nishang?
