569 Gifting A Branch

Hearing Su Xiaolu say that it could be changed, An Cheng was relieved. He said happily to her, “Alright, thank you, Miss Su.”

Little Ou came out to ask them to stay for dinner. After Little Ou found out that Su Xiaolu was a woman, she looked at her with burning eyes.

Su Xiaolu was not a proud person. She could not refuse when she was looked at with such admiration. Anyway, An Lie was her disciple. It was normal for her to have a meal at her disciple’s house, right?

She stayed for dinner and tested An Lie’s skills while she was there.

Using a wooden stick as a sword, Su Xiaolu also experienced Gui You’s might.

An Lie was also rather unwilling to admit defeat. He was a tough nut to crack. He took the opportunity to practice until he could not get up and lay on the ground in the courtyard to catch his breath.

An Cheng scooped water for him. He smiled and said, “Fortunately, you didn’t have any ill intentions at that time. Otherwise, even if she cut you into pieces, it wouldn’t be enough.”

She was a doctor and knew martial arts. She did not look big, but her skills were really amazing.

This was the first time An Cheng knew that a person’s speed could be so fast. Her palm wind and her energy could really hit people with force. It was also true that the leaves were used as knives. It was an eye-opener. He would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.

An Lie swallowed his water and smiled foolishly.

After eating at An Lie’s house, Su Xiaolu went to say goodbye to Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi’s complexion improved day by day, and he seemed to be full of vitality.

After finding out that Su Xiaolu was leaving, he said, “Xiaolu, I’m going back to the capital. I might not go to the south. When the time comes, I might go to the north or somewhere else. The next time we meet might be winter.”

Su Xiaolu took out a few bottles. “You’re going back to the capital? Then bring me something and let my second brother arrange it. Anyway, I’ll go home in winter. We’ll see each other in winter. At that time, I can detoxify you for the third time.”

During this period of time, she had not thought of returning to the capital.

But when winter came, she would have to go back. At the end of the year, she would at least have to go home and spend some time with her family.

Zhou Zhi smiled and nodded. “Alright, see you in November.”

He was very happy that Su Xiaolu trusted him enough to entrust such an important thing to him.

He held out his hand. A thorn extended. It was green.

He cut it with a small knife. Su Xiaolu stopped him and said, “Fourth Brother, you can’t…”

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Zhi had already cut off a branch. The branch was still emerald green. He smiled and said, “Xiaolu, take this thorn. As long as it comes into contact with water, it can land on the ground and take root. It can instantly grow into a 50-foot-tall wall. If you encounter any danger, you can use it to protect yourself.”

“Don’t worry, this won’t harm me. Thorns can be reborn. I still have a lot more.”

Zhou Zhi smiled gently. He had been learning the ability of this mark all the time. He had learned a lot and there were still many things that he had not comprehended completely. He was happy to know that his mark could do this.

Su Xiaolu was a little worried, but a new one had grown out of the place where Zhou Zhi had just cut. This let her know that what he said was true.

In the end, Su Xiaolu accepted this gift.

After leaving, she put the thorny branch into the Space.

Perhaps Zhou Zhi’s wood mark had given her inspiration, Su Xiaolu began to think about her Space.

In the past, her space could not contain living creatures, but she could grow plants in it. What about now?

Su Xiaolu decided to give it a try. She passed by the market and bought a fish to put in the spirit spring in the Space.

As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Gui You handed the task of supervising the old man’s cultivation to her. Su Xiaolu had no choice but to supervise the old man first.

Old Wu could tell that she was distracted. He said disdainfully, “Why? Is there a nail in your butt?”

“If you don’t like to look at an old man like me, just say it. I don’t even like looking at you. Leave me alone…”

Old Wu snorted arrogantly. He was already so old, but he still worked himself to death every day. He was the one who was annoyed.

Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly and did not leave or speak.

Old Wu rolled his eyes. He was really being controlled.

This wretched girl.

After training, Gui You came out to call for a stop. Old Wu immediately rubbed his waist and entered the house, shouting for tiger ointment.

Su Xiaolu returned to her room to rest. After closing the door, she lay down at the table and immediately entered the Space to check.

Seeing that the carp’s stomach had turned white, she sighed helplessly and scooped it up to stew it.

After picking it up, she realized that the carp’s gills were opening and closing. Su Xiaolu thought she had seen it wrongly until the carp swayed in her hand.

Su Xiaolu was sure that this was a living creature.

The Space could hold living things.

Su Xiaolu placed the fish in the spiritual spring water. She walked around in her space and realized that it seemed to have expanded a little more than before. She walked to the edge and touched it with her hand. It was a barrier that she could not break. Her Space was inside this barrier.

After expanding about two feet, it was quite impressive.

Su Xiaolu tidied up the herbs and placed the pills in the small cabinet. There were all kinds of medicine bottles. These things were also expensive. Unknowingly, she had become a rich woman.

She was like a proud lord who left the Space after inspecting her territory.

The next morning, Old Wu and Gui You left Qinghai county with Su Xiaolu.

The three of them were riding horses. No, two horses and a donkey.

Gui You said coldly, “Next spring, you have to learn how to ride a horse.”

Old Wu rolled his eyes. “What’s wrong with a donkey? My donkey isn’t slow when it runs. Even if the sky falls, it’s tall enough to hold it up. I’m already so old. I don’t need to learn so much…”

Gui You was unmoved. “You have to learn.”

Old Wu was so angry that he stomped his feet.

“Why did I have to know you—”

So angry, so angry.

Su Xiaolu pretended to be deaf. When Old Wu looked over, she looked left and right but did not make eye contact with him.

Although a fire at the city gate would implicate the bystanders, the bystander was invisible and could protect herself.

Gui You was ruthless to Old Wu and Su Xiaolu. When he had time, he would launch sneak attacks. In this way, within a few days, Su Xiaolu became extremely vigilant. She could instantly react to the slightest movement.

The master-disciple duo became a pair of suffering siblings.

Even the horses and the donkey were trembling.

As they hurried along, the donkey was so tired that it cursed…

The place where the fog rose was a deep mountain in a free town. This small town was already heavily guarded. Just after noon, the three of them entered the city. The inns that they could stay in were very expensive. In fact, many people from the martial world had already gathered in this small town.

When they arrived, they first asked for information. Old Wu assigned Su Xiaolu a mission to retrieve information. Su Xiaomu could tell that the old man wanted to lie down and rest when he was free. He did not want to move at all. Su Xianolu accepted the mission and went out.
