Chapter 138: Yu City
“This…” The elders looked at each other at a loss for what to do.
“Elders, why don’t we let Qin Xiaoxi study with us for a few days? She must be very fond of our Sakura Sect since she came thousands of miles to Yu City from her home.” He Hui quickly spoke up for Qin Xiaoxi when she saw the situation.
“It’s just that Sect Master…” Elder Xu also sighed.
“We can temporarily let Qin Xiaoxi observe and learn for few days first. It’s not too late to make a decision after Sect Master’s secluded cultivation is over,” Elder Zhang suggested.
“Alright, let’s do that for now.”
“Xiaohui, go and arrange a place for Xiaoxi.”
“Thank you, Master… Thank you, Elder.”
“Thank you, Elders.”
After saying that, Qin Xiaoxi and He Hui bid farewell to the elders. He Hui led her to the residence of the Sakura Sect disciples. The residence was quite big, and there were many rooms inside.
“Shh, there are many junior sisters still resting. Let’s keep it down.”
Qin Xiaoxi nodded.
The two of them came to the door of one of the rooms.
He Hui pushed it open.
Inside was a room that was neither big nor small. There was an empty bed, a shelf, a bookcase, a chair, and a table inside. Above the table was a half-open wooden window. A ray of afternoon sunlight shone through the window and onto the table.
“This room is still empty. You can stay here until the Sect Master finishes her secluded cultivation.”
“Okay, thank you, Sister Hui.”
“Haha, Elder has agreed to let you stay here temporarily. Maybe you can learn some skills.”
He Hui smiled.
“Oh right, if you need a change of clothes in the next few days, just go out and walk to the east. someone will bring your bed sheets and bedding to you later. Please make do and rest here for a while first.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” He Hui smiled. “Oh right, I heard Master say just now, it seems that you’re a child of a big Family?”
“Not really… In Thunder City, there are many big Families.”
He Hui nodded. “But, judging from your appearance, you must have no worries about food or clothes. Why do you want to come all the way here alone to learn cultivation techniques?”
“I’m bound to have to come out and see the world by myself. It’s too boring to stay at home.” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head and sat on the bed, while He Hui sat beside her.
“So it’s because you’re bored? Hahaha, you’re really different from the image of a young miss in my mind,” He Hui said jokingly.
“Really? But I have a question.”
“What question?” He Hui asked.
“When I came to Yu City, I always felt that it doesn’t seem to be what I thought. It’s spring, and I can’t feel spring at all in the city.”
He Hui sighed when she heard this.
“What’s wrong, Sister Hui?”
He Hui thought for a while and then said, “Recently, the two big clans in Yu City have been constantly fighting.”
“Two big clans?” Qin Xiaoxi asked, puzzled.
“Yes, the Liu Family and the Xiao Family.”
“It doesn’t sound like they’re good people.” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head.
He Hui nodded.
“The Liu Family owns more than half of Yu City’s wealth, and they have many cultivators in the clan. The head of the Liu Family, Liu Jingsheng, is a rare and powerful cultivator in Yu City, and his Realm is already above the Spirit King Realm. The Liu Family is the largest family in Yu City, but they constantly oppress the people on a daily basis. In addition to their recent fight with the Xiao Family, many of the people in Yu City have stopped going out.”
He Hui sighed.
The plot sounded very familiar.
However, in comparison, the He Family in Thunder City had reached a point where they were like an absolute monarch. Across Thunder City, no one was a match for the He Family Master, He Cangming. Even the Yu Family back then had been wiped out. However, in comparison, the He Family could still maintain the normal operation of Thunder City.
“Then this Xiao Family…”
“The Xiao Family is the only clan force in Yu City that can be compared to them. However, it is said that they are gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.”
“Won’t the Sakura Sect make a move?”
“The fight between Families isn’t something that the Sects can interfere with. The Sect Master is determined to not allow us to join in the fight against the Liu Family.” He Hui sighed.
“It seems that there are many clans that engage themselves in misdeeds everywhere…”
Qin Xiaoxi could not help but feel sad for Yu City.
“Since you’re putting it this way, I suppose there are such Clans where you come from too?”
Qin Xiaoxi nodded and told He Hui the story of the He family.
“Then isn’t that Family too miserable? Not a single member of the Family survived?” He Hui was a little shocked. She did not expect the He Family to be so cold-blooded and despicable. They actually wiped out a Family that didn’t even have the strength to resist. Not a single person was left alive. Only a little girl was left.
He Hui was referring to the only person left alive after the Yu Family was wiped out. That person was the young miss of the Yu Family, Yu Sisi. However, until now, no one knew the whereabouts of Yu Sisi.
Qin Xiaoxi had heard her father and the other elders mention that she seemed to have left Thunder City.
“Xiaoxi, you can rest here first.” He Hui seemed to have remembered something and stood up. “I still have some matters to attend to. You can come with them for sword practice later.”
Qin Xiaoxi was excited when she heard this.
“Really? Okay.”
He Hui smiled and said, “Of course it’s true. Sword practice will be in about an hour, so rest well for the time being.”
Qin Xiaoxi nodded and watched He Hui close the door for her.
Phew! She could finally have a good rest! Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxi immediately flopped onto the bed.
