Chapter 421 - 421 303 Settling Pei Laoliu (Two in One)_2

421: Chapter 303: Settling Pei Laoliu (Two in One)_2 421: Chapter 303: Settling Pei Laoliu (Two in One)_2 Pei Laoliu was baffled by his words and asked with confusion, “Move?

Why move when everything is fine?

I’ve lived here for decades, where would I go?”

He waved his hand, showing no interest in even considering the suggestion.

As for Master Liu’s response, Zhang Xiaoman had expected it, but the location he mentioned this time was different.

He was seventy percent sure that Master Liu would agree to move there.

“Master Liu, don’t be in a hurry to refuse.

The place I’ve chosen for you this time, you’ll definitely want to go,” he said.

“What place?”

“Dragon Sleep Mountain!”

Pei Laoliu was about to dismiss the idea again, but after pausing for two seconds, he suddenly realized and asked in surprise:

“What did you just say?

Dragon Sleep Mountain?

The one for cultivation?”

That triggered him to remember an incident from a previous cultivation conference, and he suddenly said:

“Oh, right, right!

You’ve had contact with the Ye Family before, haven’t you?

Did they come to see you after that?

So, you’re telling me, you’ve established a connection with them?”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

Seeing this, Pei Laoliu instantly stood up and paced around the room several times before stopping and asking:

“So, regarding Dragon Sleep Mountain…

what’s your relationship with them?

Are they just acquaintances, ordinary friends, or close friends?”

“Well, let’s say close friends,” he replied.

“Really?”

Pei Laoliu looked skeptical, but then, recalling his grandson’s mysterious abilities, he somewhat understood.

“Since you’re such good friends, then what you just mentioned about going to Dragon Sleep Mountain must be true, right?”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded with a smile, finding Master Liu’s reaction rather unusual.

Seeing this, Pei Laoliu paced by the window, rubbing his hands together.

Zhang Xiaoman did not rush him, just quietly watching and waiting for an answer.

Everything was as he had anticipated; Master Liu was indeed tempted by the idea of living on Dragon Sleep Mountain.

For the people of the martial world like him, it was a sacred place, seemingly unreachable.

For Master Liu, Dragon Sleep Mountain was as elusive as Hollywood is to movie enthusiasts.

If anything could make Master Liu leave the place where he’d spent his entire life, Dragon Sleep Mountain would undoubtedly be one of them.

After some hesitation, Pei Laoliu finally stopped pacing and asked cautiously, “About Dragon Sleep Mountain…

can I take Dahei with me?”

Zhang Xiaoman was momentarily surprised, then nodded, “Of course, Dahei will have more space there to move around.”

“Then, how about I just go and stay there for a couple of days?” Pei Laoliu said, still unsure.

Zhang Xiaoman laughed heartily, stepped forward to put his arm around his shoulder, and said:

“Master Liu, just go there and stay for a while, treat it like a vacation.

If you enjoy it, stay a few more days; if not, you can always come back.”

“Besides, I should let you know in advance, those monsters might become more common, so it’s also safer for you to live on Dragon Sleep Mountain, and I’d be more at ease.”

Zhang Xiaoman stopped there, carefully avoiding further sensitive topics, and added:

“The environment at Dragon Sleep Mountain is truly excellent.

Once you see it, you might not want to come back.

Don’t worry, my relationship with Master Ye is very solid.

You can stay there as long as you like.”

“Are you talking about Ye Cang?”

Pei Laoliu looked at Zhang Xiaoman in astonishment.

For him, Ye Cang, who was in his nineties, was over twenty years his senior.

Even for a self-taught Taoist like him, who grew up hearing stories about the other, the idea that his own grandson was closely connected to him was startling.

“Yes, Master Liu, why don’t you move there today?

It would also save you from disturbances here.

Go there, relax, and enjoy some peace and quiet.”

“Ah?

We’re going today?”

“Yes, today.

I’ll pack your things right away and take you there!”

Just like that, Zhang Xiaoman packed Master Liu’s clothes while he stood there stunned, and took him back to his home with Da Hei in tow.

“You little rascal, why the rush?

I haven’t even decided whether I want to go or not.

And it’s in Camellia City, we haven’t even bought the tickets, how are we supposed to get to Dragon Sleep Mountain?”

Master Liu was led into the house by Zhang Xiaoman, babbling all the way, nearly causing Zhang Xiaoman’s ears to form calluses.

“Master Liu, stop nagging, I have my ways to take you there, and I assure you a pleasant journey,” Zhang Xiaoman said.

Having said so, he had already called for the Dawn through his wristwatch.

The vehicle had become too large to keep at home recently and was stationed on Rebirth Island.

It was only called when needed for transport.

Never mind the expression on Master Liu’s face when he saw the two-story tall anti-gravity car, Zhang Xiaoman got him aboard and immediately switched on the autopilot.

In just a few minutes, he had taken Master Liu from Qionghua City across thousands of miles to Dragon Sleep Mountain in Camellia City.

After several days of construction, there were two more small buildings, each quaint and ancient-looking, designed to accommodate members of the Star Alliance.

At this moment, Ye Cang and Su Fu were here, the latter undergoing healing, and his condition had clearly started to improve.

Just as Zhang Xiaoman had predicted, baozi indeed had an effect on Su Fu’s symptoms.

Together with the passive skills of his Morning Star Ring, Su Fu’s condition was showing signs of a complete recovery.

Ye Cang was also quite amazed; the potions he prepared doubled their effectiveness when administered by Zhang Xiaoman, which he couldn’t help but find miraculous.

Su Fu was even more excited.

After all, who would choose to die if they could live?

Even with his temperament, he was nearly moved to tears when he ate the baozi and saw his health recovering.

Zhang Xiaoman could tell that Su Fu’s attitude towards him had changed.

Initially, he had joined the Star Alliance for power or out of a desire for the transcendent, purely for the benefits.

But now, Zhang Xiaoman could feel that after he had saved him, Su Fu truly started to invest himself in the cause of the Star Alliance, marking a fundamental change.

As for why he felt this way, it related to an upgrade in one of his attributes: spiritual power.

Zhang Xiaoman found that after using the Enlightenment Kaleidoscope to raise his basic spiritual power to 5 points, he could vaguely sense the emotions of people around him whenever he calmed his mind.

This sensing was not very clear, merely brush-like, and it also required significant emotional fluctuation from others to be perceivable.

Moreover, his spiritual power seemed to have a premonitory aspect, but since Zhang Xiaoman was of a low level, this sense wasn’t very strong.

That’s why he was quite pleased to have recruited Su Fu.

People like them were generally proud, and Zhang Xiaoman used this opportunity to fully win him over.

After explaining the situation to Ye Cang, he settled Master Liu at Dragon Sleep Mountain and the time had reached evening.

Pei Laoliu was clearly very satisfied with this place, not only for its beautiful mountains, clear waters, and fresh air but also for the chance to interact with Ye Cang, a pillar of the Cultivation Realm, which seemed to add a bit of vitality to him.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoman went back home, visiting Master Liu’s house first to move the wardrobe marked with the Star Alliance Marker to his own home, saving himself the 5 points needed to buy a new marker.

As for Lin Sisi, she had to be inconvenienced for a bit.

After all, the little girl did not visit Rebirth Island as often as he did.

If teleportation was needed later, it could be directly to his villa, and then he would take care of the rest.

After finishing the day’s tasks, it was already late, so Zhang Xiaoman got ready and went to bed.

He had an important matter to attend to tomorrow.

His Light Blue Starry Sky Company would officially establish a scientific research laboratory, responsible for developing the first piece of cutting-edge technology he had prepared: the Star Network Terminal.
