Chapter 55
[What we're after is low-level authority! If you're not strong enough, don'
Yuan Yuan, taking responsibility for her actions, silently puffed out her little chest in front of everyone.
"Chirp!"
Humans are like sparrows!
It stepped forward proudly, its round little face looking very serious.
Shen Shu'an: "?"
Everyone: "??"
Shen Shu'an was embarrassed and quickly looked at Hu Da, "Big brother, may I ask where your injured peacock is?"
"I will do my best to treat him/her, and even if I am unable to treat him/her, I am willing to compensate him/her."
Unexpectedly, Tiger waved his hands repeatedly and said to Shen Shu'an, "Sister, you don't need to compensate me. We tigers fight over territory too."
"Our peacocks on this mountain aren't as good as the birds, so I don't want to pay compensation, it's just that they're not eating anymore."
As Hu Da spoke, his thick eyebrows drooped down, making him look very worried.
"Birds need iron, food needs steel, so how can we survive without food?"
"I just want you to help it stop eating. It won't eat even if we try to feed it."
Shen Shu'an: "..."
"Brother, I noticed you didn't bring the peacock with you today. Why don't you choose another day to bring it? Let me see what the matter is?"
Tiger breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, grinning broadly, "Hehe, we're relieved to hear that from the girl."
"We'll bring it to you tomorrow, but we still need to go back today to apply the medicine to the boys."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shu'an felt another blow to his heart and quickly said, "If any of you brothers have something to do, please go quickly. You can come find me anytime. I'm at the Shen family in Qingcheng."
"Okay, it's settled then, girl."
Tiger nodded, his dark bald head gleaming in the sunlight, as bright as the smile on his face.
"Alright, we'll come again tomorrow. We really don't need that many spirit stones; we'll return the extra to you tomorrow!"
Xiong San was also very happy; the people of Qingcheng were much easier to talk to than he had expected.
It seems the people of Qingcheng are quite nice; it's just that old man who's so boring.
Thinking it over, before leaving, Xiong San secretly glanced at Qian Duoduo with his big eyes and memorized Qian Duoduo's appearance.
We won't punish him this time, but if he tries to cheat again next time, then we will!
Leopard Two, who had been silent the whole time, smiled at everyone, then turned and followed Bear Three and Tiger One.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Bai Cheng and the other two leave.
Onlookers: That was close! Our Qingcheng's reputation was almost ruined.
Thinking about it, everyone turned their condemning gazes toward Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo still crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and continued to pout.
He is 120 years old this year. He is very old and of high seniority. So who can do anything to him?
Shen Shuan and the others felt helpless and embarrassed, so they quickly pulled Qian Duoduo away from there.
It wasn't until everyone returned to their own homes and Shen Shu'an stepped through the gates of the Shen family that she finally relaxed completely.
She shook her head and sighed, "Alas, Grandpa Qian is simply impossible to choose!"
Xuan Yi: "?"
Xuan Yi's lips twitched. It was a completely new word he had never heard before, yet he somehow understood its meaning.
Then, Xuan Yi inexplicably thought of the dragon race's exceptionally long lifespans.
If that's the case, wouldn't all dragons be unable to be selected?
Xuan Yi was speechless. He shook his head, trying to shake these chaotic thoughts out of his mind.
At this moment, Nian Qiuhua, who had finished dealing with clan affairs, heard that the two had returned and sent people to welcome them.
"Miss, Young Master Xuan, Madam has prepared tea and refreshments and specially sent me to invite you both to the pavilion for some snacks and tea."
"You must be tired after this morning?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuan felt hungry again.
Looking at the sky again, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Wow, is this what it feels like to have a mother? Even when I'm out for a short while, she still thinks about me.
She immediately pulled Xuan Yi towards the pavilion, saying, "Xuan Yi, let's go. Don't be shy, my house is your house!"
It's okay, Xuan Yi. You may not have a mother, but I do. I'll share mine with you!
What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. In my past life, I didn't have a mother either. I understand you!
Xuan Yi was held by Shen Shu'an, feeling somewhat helpless, but he could also subtly sense Shen Shu'an's intentions.
Although he believed that even if Shen Shuan went alone, he wouldn't be in any trouble if he was left alone, he appreciated the sentiment.
He sighed helplessly, glanced at the girl's excited profile, and had no choice but to follow her hurried steps.
In the void, Wu Bo silently stroked his chin, lost in thought. Soon, he looked ashamed and took out his notebook.
What? There's such a thing as afternoon tea? And you can even have snacks with it!
Oh dear, I've never done any serving work in my life. If I had known this would happen, I should have served some snacks and tea when Your Highness was studying late into the night!
Now that I think about it, Your Highness must have been studying on an empty stomach the whole time, right?
Uncle Wu: ┭┮﹏┭┮, it's all my fault.
When they arrived at the pavilion, Nian Qiuhua was already sitting there waiting.
Upon seeing the two arrive, he immediately broke into a smile: "You've arrived? An'er, Yi'er."
"Quickly sit down, the lake breeze is most refreshing at this time of year."
The two responded and took their seats. Shen Shu'an looked at the tea table, which contained all the dishes that she and Xuan Yi liked to eat.
I suppose Dad deserves some credit for this; he knows Xuan Yi's tastes very well.
Shen Shuan picked up a piece of chestnut cake, then looked at the Linglong cake, and raised an eyebrow at Xuan Yi.
"How's your favorite food? See how good my mom is to you?"
Xuan Yi remained silent, quietly picking up his teacup and sipping it with his eyes lowered, his eyelashes concealing the warmth in his eyes.
Nian Qiuhua looked at Shen Shu'an with deep emotion: "An'er, you came back without even telling your mother."
"You must have suffered a lot along the way, right?"
"Thankfully, Yi'er is with you. If you were alone, your mother would be very worried."
Shen Shu'an felt a little guilty. She blinked, lowered her big eyes, and chewed on the chestnut cake.
Seeing her like this, Nian Qiuhua smiled slightly and changed the subject.
"I wonder how your sister is doing now, whether she has successfully broken through to the next realm."
"Alas, breaking through to the Golden Core realm is extremely dangerous."
Seeing Nian Qiuhua's worried expression, Shen Shuan was about to comfort her when a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Beep, Shen Wanqiu has successfully broken through to the next level. She is thinking of her family and has collected 50 emotion points.]
Shen Shuan was taken aback, but continued chewing silently without showing any emotion.
He thought to himself, "Duck, where have you been today? I haven't seen you at all."
[Hehe, host, I've been thinking about it. You've already grasped some of that sword technique, so asking for 5000 points is too expensive!]
[I've already submitted a report to the higher authorities.]
[But I don't know why, the higher-level system wanted to upgrade me again, but host, you're still waiting for me. This system doesn't have time, so I just grabbed the stamp, stamped it, and came back.]
Shen Shu'an's eyelashes fluttered, and she raised her head to say to Nian Qiuhua, "Mother, my sister has successfully broken through."
At the same time, he exclaimed inwardly to the system, "Duck, why are you just stealing it like that? Is this really okay?"
DuckDuck scoffed: "Heh, didn't we get an upgrade in privileges before? I had no idea how high my privileges were. But when I went to the higher-ups today, I found out those guys don't even have as high privileges as me."
[What we're after is low-level control! If you're not strong enough, don't blame the road for being uneven!!]
Shen Shu'an: "???"
Nian Qiuhua and Xuan Yi also: "???"
The two of them glanced at Shen Shu'an at the same time, their faces filled with doubt.
Nian Qiuhua said, "An'er, how do you know your sister has already broken through? Could it be another premonition from a dream?"
But it doesn't seem like it; An'er didn't mention it this morning. Nian Qiuhua looked suspicious, yet surprised and delighted.
"Chirp!"
Humans are like sparrows!
It stepped forward proudly, its round little face looking very serious.
Shen Shu'an: "?"

Shen Shu'an was embarrassed and quickly looked at Hu Da, "Big brother, may I ask where your injured peacock is?"
