When she really returns to Youling City, Hong'an Street, and her shop.
Only then did Xu Qiuqian feel truly at ease.
Being away for so long this time made her realize that she had long regarded this place as her home.
She is no longer a wandering spirit from the stars.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she saw two green fur balls rolling out at a whirlwind speed.
"Master wow wow wow you are finally back!!!"
"Clan leader wow wow wow you are finally back!!!"
Zhizhi and Banjian spoke in unison, crying loudly.
Xu Qiuqian quickly bent down and took the two little ones into her arms.
"I'm back. I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting for a long time?" Xu Qiuqian looked guilty.
She thought it wouldn't take long, but she didn't expect it would take almost three months.
Three months seemed to come in the blink of an eye, and she herself felt that these three months seemed to pass quite quickly, but for Zhizhi and Banjie, it should have passed very slowly, right?
After all, the two little ones would never leave the room without her permission.
Xu Qiuqian carried the two little ones into the room and said to Ding Lan behind her: "Come in."
Ding Lan looked at the narrow room.
This should be the store that Qingyu Sect gave to Xu Qiuqian.
I didn't expect it to be so small and so shabby.
The Qingyu Sect is really stingy, why don’t they just open a bigger store?
Then she stared at Zhizhi and Banji with novelty, two green fur balls that looked fluffy. What kind of spiritual beasts were these? Why hadn't she heard of them?
After a while, Zhizhi finally came to his senses.
"Master, what have you been doing, and why have you been gone for so long?" Zhizhi asked Xu Qiuqian in a tearful voice.
"That's right. We, the clan leader, are so tired of waiting for you."
Xu Qiuqian: "..."
In a sense, Banjie has indeed grown hair.
Before, Banji seemed to be bald in patches, but after not seeing him for the past three months, Banji was completely healed, just like Zhi Zhi, and his whole body was furry, and his emerald green fur looked very healthy.
She weighed the two little ones.
"Have you gained weight?"
"Really? Have I really gained weight?" Ban Jie's round eyes were full of joy.
God knows how much it wants to gain weight. When it was bald, the patriarch's friends said it was skinny, hard to touch, and hairless. The patriarch definitely didn't like it.
Now it is finally fat!
"What's the point of gaining weight? After so long, sister Banjie and I have grown up!"
When Xu Qiuqian heard this, he was immediately surprised.
"Sister Hanji?"
It turns out that half of them are female.
"Yes, yes, they are both sisters. I am Zhizhi's younger brother. Hehe, I am the youngest in the clan~" Zhizhi happily twisted his body and told Xu Qiuqian.
It is the smallest cub in the tribe now!
"Boss, are these two your spiritual pets?" Ding Lan asked.
Xu Qiuqian hummed.
"What kind of spiritual beasts are they? Why haven't I seen them before?"
"There are many things you haven't seen, and you will naturally know them in the future."
"..."
Ding Lan was used to Xu Qiuqian criticizing her from time to time, but she didn't think it was a big deal.
Zhizhi heard Ding Lan calling Xu Qiuqian and asked in confusion.
"Master, why did she call you boss?"
"I asked her to call it that."
Originally Ding Lan wanted to call her Senior Sister Qiu Qian, but she refused.
Not to mention that neither of them were from the Qing Jade Sect anymore. This title would remind her of people from the Qing Jade Sect, so she decided to forget it.
Ding Lan said no to asking her to call her Qiu Qian like Shiqian and the others, or to call her Daoyou Xu.
Xu Qiuqian simply asked her to call her boss.
Anyway, the group of subordinates from Interstellar all called her that in private.
Xu Qiuqian glanced towards the backyard.
"Hey, what's going on? Where are Shiqian Xiaoyi and the others? And Yichen and Yuan Yan, why are they all asleep?"
Her voice just now was not too quiet. They were all cultivating immortals, so they would definitely be able to hear it.
Why haven't I seen them in such a long time?
Xu Qiuqian's consciousness spread out, but she didn't see anyone in the backyard. Shiqian and the others were not in her room either. She couldn't help but frown.
"They are all out, Master."
"Go out, where?"
"It seems to be the city lord's mansion."
"What are you doing at the City Lord's Mansion?"
Zhizhi frowned: "I don't know either."
Banjiu said: "It is said that it is a big family from other cities. That big family has a very high status. The city lord personally came to pick him up. After that, I don't know what he said, so he brought several big families and the clan leader's companions." I called him all over, but he hasn’t come back yet.”
Who could be the big family from other cities?
"When did they leave?"
"Early in the day."
Xu Qiuqian nodded.
Immediately, she said to Ding Lan: "Come with me."
He took Ding Lan into the backyard and to the second floor.
"There is only one room left on the second floor, so you can make do with it. There is no better place for you."
"It doesn't matter, I can live anywhere."
Now that she has established her foundation, she doesn't need much sleep. She just needs a place to practice.
"Okay, then you will stay here for now."
She turned and left.
"Are you going to find them?"
Xu Qiuqian hummed.
"Boss, do you need me to come with you?"
"It's not necessary at the moment. I just went over to see what's going on. If necessary, I will give you instructions."
After all, I don’t know what’s going on over there.
Also, why take all four of them away?
If Zhizhi and Banjie hadn't been staying in her room, they would have been taken away.
"Okay, then I'll wait here for the boss."
Seeing that Xu Qiuqian was about to leave, Zhizhi and Banji hurriedly followed.
Xu Qiuqian said helplessly: "You guys wait for me here..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhizhi rejected him: "No!"
Zhizhi cried and whined: "Master, are you going to stop Zhizhi? Why do you just come back and then leave again..."
Banjing was also crying beside him.
"..."
There was no other way, Xu Qiuqian had no choice but to take two little ones with him.
"If you encounter danger later, Zhizhi, you have to hide in the spirit beast bag, you know? And Banjie, you can't enter the spirit beast bag. If you encounter danger, you must stay away, do you understand?"
The two little ones nodded, their fur trembling: "I got it!"
"Very well, let's go there."
After leaving the shop, Xu Qiuqian sat on the soft cloud bed and headed towards the city lord's palace.
That's the good thing about Youling City. You can fly in the sky in the city.
Soon, they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord's mansion was brightly lit.
But there was a formation in the city lord's mansion, and she couldn't enter with her spiritual consciousness. She didn't know what was going on inside, so she could only see through her eyes.
"Who is coming?" The guards of the City Lord's Mansion blocked her.
"I'm the manager of the Hong'an Street grocery store. Can you let me in?"
After he finished speaking, a small voice sounded behind him.
"Manager Xu."
Xu Qiuqian turned around and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a young man with a familiar face.
It was she who rescued the young man Yu Xian who was later entrusted to Chen Wu's care in Hong'an Street.
She walked over.
"Store manager Xu, senior Chen Wu asked me to keep an eye on you here and said that if you rush back after hearing the news, you will most likely come. I didn't expect that manager Xu actually came."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Yu Xian hummed.
"The people in Manager Xu's store were all taken away."
"Taken away? By whom and where?"
"Red Eye Pavilion."
