XIAO SHUXIANG'S

34 - Travel Together (1) [Revised]

The merchants, Xiao Shuxiang or Yang Shu did not feel surprised. You could say they know what happened to the trade.

Gu Ta Sian had nothing but used an object called the Spatial Ring to store so much merchant merchandise.

The Spatial Ring itself was one of the heirlooms for cultivators. The area inside the ring is different. The smallest, it is only about 5m wide. While the largest up to 1 km.

The price of this ring is very expensive and also very difficult to get. Even the big sects only had a 40-50 meter wide Spatial Ring. The one who used it was GrandElder.

Gu Ta Sian's own ring had an area of 9 meters, he got this ring from the Elders of the Silver Bamboo Sect to make it easier for him to bring supplies.

The Silver Bamboo Sect was arguably quite lucky, as it had two pieces of spatial rings of the same area.

After Gu Ta Sian moved all the merchant items into the Spatial Ring, he then helped the merchants to lift up the other merchants along with his unconscious coachman.

"Thank you, sir.." a merchant was helped up to the carriage by Gu Ta Sian.

"Cautiously step. Just slow down,"

Zong Ming himself approached Yang Shu, "Chairman... Let's get on the train,"

Yang Shu was initially a little hesitant, yet he saw the wound on Xiao Shuxiang's shoulder as well as his grandson's face was arguably looking bad.

He slowly moved his legs, he then tried to hold Jing Mi and then take her on one of the trains.

Gu Ta Sian smiled towards Yang Shu, he then helped her to raise Qi Xuan and Xiao Lu. While Xiao Shuxiang was invited by Zong Ming and Ying Liu.

Xiao Shuxiang's face was indeed bad, but not because of the pain on his shoulder but because he could not behead Gong Peng.

Of the 5 traders and 3 survivors, two traders and one coachman fainted with blood coming out of their mouths.

The carriage was then pulled with four horses, where it was occupied by Zong Ming, Xiao Lu, Qi Xuan, Jing Mi and the three merchants who could still maintain their consciousness.

Xiao Lu, Xi Xuan and Jing Mi themselves were still unconscious. Fortunately, they only felt a hint of Gong Ru's murderous aura so they did not suffer serious injuries like two merchants vomiting blood.

Although all three were fine, they still fainted and were unconscious until now. Therefore, Zong Ming tried to resuscitate the three by flowing his Qi.

The other carriage, drawn by three horses, was occupied by Xiao Shuxiang, Ying Liu, Yang Shu, Gu Ta Sian and two merchants, as well as one unconscious coachman.

Only seven of these horses were still alive after the assault of the Brothers Robbers just a moment ago.

These two merchants and coachmen were lying unconscious near Gu Ta Sian, their faces pale with bloody mouths.

Ying Liu said, "Senior? Do we let them lie down like that?"

Gu Ta Sian, "I have concoction medicine. Let's use this to heal them,"

Yang Shu saw Gu Ta Sian take out the concoction medicine from behind his sleeve. The man used the medicine accompanied by draining his Qi to speed up the merchant's wound healing process.

The concoction medicine was just an ordinary medicine made by the healer from the Village of Rest. The healer himself was not a cultivator and actually the concoction medicine of an ordinary human was not very useful for figures like Gu Ta Sian or Ying Liu.

It's just, it's just, the healer continued to give it to them as provisions and thanks because Gu Ta Sian and his juniors wanted to help the people in the Rest Village to overcome the dreaded Brother Robber.

Gu Ta Sian who is not tasty refused the gift from the Physician then took the concoction medicine because it might be useful later and it turns out, and then, the medicine from the Physician was actually used by Gu Ta Sian. At least with the help of this medicine, he did not need to expend a lot of Qi.

Gu Ta Sian treated three people, while his junior Ying Liu, treated Xiao Shuxiang.

Ying Liu also gave the concoction medicine to be minimized to Xiao Shuxiang, but this seven-year-old boy shook his head unwillingly.

Ying Liu, "Don't be afraid. Your wounds will heal if you drink them. It's gonna be okay,"

Xiao Shuxiang, "I won't. The concoction medicine is so bitter, keep it away from me."

Yang Shu, "Grandfather's favorite grandson... Come drink, it's okay. That's good for you,"

Gu Ta Sian also persuaded, "The medicine does have a bitter taste, but its properties are very good for healing. Trust me, you're a brave boy, right?"

Yang Shu, "Son. Look who made it for you. She's a beautiful sister, her bitter taste will disappear if you drink while looking at her face,"

Ying Liu blinked but immediately nodded, "Right. You see me, it won't be bitter."

"I don't want to, I don't want to!" Xiao Shuxiang shook his head while covering his mouth with his right hand. "Grandfather, don't force me~ I won't drink it."

After several persuasions, Yang Shu, Gu Ta Sian and Ying Liu finally surrendered. They were unable to force Xiao Shuxiang anymore because this child showed adorable eyes and a face like a rabbit child.

"Huuf... Liu'Er, you treat her outer wounds only with Qi..." Gu Ta Sian exhaled softly, he could not bear to see Xiao Shuxiang's adorable plain eyes.

The train was then carried by the two drivers who were still unconscious. They left the bodies of warriors, merchants, and robbers and others for granted.

Gu Ta Sian would report on all the incidents he experienced, as well as his success killing the Brothers Robbers when he reached the city.

During the trip, Gu Ta Sian conversed with Yang Shu. From that conversation, he knew that the purpose of their journey turned out to be the same, which was to go to the Lotus Flower Sect.

"Sorry Senior, if I'm presumptuous. But can I know... Why don't you help your student fight with the robber?" Gu Ta Sian asked.

He could read Yang Shu's practice level. Although the level of practice was higher than Yang Shu, it was in terms of age... Yang Shu was obviously older than himself, which was why Gu Ta Sian referred to Yang Shu as 'Senior'.

"Senior, I think... You should be the one fighting with those brother robbers, not this 7-year-old kid sitting in front of me. Moreover, the level of practice of this little boy is very pitiful,"

Xiao Shuxiang simply sat quietly while listening to the conversation between

Gu Ta Sian and Yang Shu. He actually agreed with Gu Ta Sian's opinion.

Ying Liu himself did not say anything, he was seriously treating the wound that Xiao Shuxiang had on his shoulder.

Yang Shu stroked her mustache and beard, she actually wanted to help her granddaughter. Only, his legs and body could not be moved. Yang Shu was too shocked when he saw the many corpses and body pieces splattered. Especially when he saw a swordsman beheaded right in front of his eyes.

"You're from the Silver Bamboo Sect? What... Do you know a man named Fu, Yang Fu?"

Gu Ta Sian gasped when he heard the name of the person called by Yang Shu. "How does Senior know that name? He is our Patriarch, but not many know of his surname. Is it possible..."

Gu Ta Sian looked at Yang Shu deeply. To his knowledge, no one outside of the Silver Bamboo Sect knew of his Patriarch surname.

Then who is this guy..?

Yang Shu only smiled meaningfully to Gu Ta Sian. This made Gu Ta Sian instantly round his eyes in surprise.

"Senior Is..?!"

"Yeah, that's right." Yang Shu smiled as she stroked her mustache and beard.

Gu Ta Sian smiled, "So it seems that Senior is the brother of patriarch Fu. I don't feel good sitting next to you,"

"Don't feel bad, I'm just an ordinary person. So, how's your patriarch Fu doing?"

Gu Ta Sian took a slow breath, then slowly exhaled. "Patriarch is fine. Since He does not know your situation... He looked lethargic and never smiled again. In fact, often times he was angry unclear. ck ck"

Gu Ta Sian shook his head, "I still remember the incident when patriarch Fu scolded one of the disciples in the sect just because the disciple helped tighten his friend's hair tie,"

Yang Shu also shook her head, "Haah, when you go back to your sect, tell her that I'm alive and now have two grandchildren,"

"But, is Yang Fu married?" Yang Shu suddenly realized something.

"Ehm... Patriarch, not married yet. It seems... The Patriarch has no desire to build a household." Gu Ta Sian hesitated a little while answering a question from Yang Shu.

Xiao Shuxiang who heard the remark from Gu Ta Sian was seen scratching his cheeks softly. In the world of cultivation, many cultivators preferred not to be bound by marriage relations because it was assumed that marriage would only be a hindrance in the improvement of their practice.

For example, it was Gu Ta Sian. She is 42 years old and still unmarried.

It was not that Gu Ta Sian did not want to get married, but he was too focused on improving his cultivation practice to forget to find a life partner.

According to Gu Ta Sian, the 42-year-old is still too young to build a household. The ideal type of marriage that Gu Ta Sian planned was when he was 80 years old and above, that too if there was a girl who wanted to be with him.

Yang Shu sighed then shook his head slowly, "My brother is really becoming a cultivator now.
