Banzhi Cangshu

Chapter 9 Heading to Tianxin City

Su Yutong rolled her eyes at Su Fan.

"Stop joking, come in," Su Yutong opened the door and the two walked in.

"Mom, Dad, Su Fan is here!"

Su Yutong pushed the door open and shouted loudly into the room. Su Fan could even hear the echo.

"Little Su is here, come, come, sit down quickly!" Su Yutong's mother, Zhang Yuwei, was very enthusiastic towards Su Fan. Zhang Yuwei had met Su Fan at the hospital, so she recognized him at a glance.

"Hello, Auntie," Su Fan smiled and nodded at Zhang Yuwei.

"Little Su, what does your family do?" Zhang Yuwei asked Su Fan with a smile.

Su Fan was stunned. Why did it feel a bit off?

"My parents are both farmers, they work the land at home," Su Fan told the truth.

"Farmers, farmers are good. Without farmers, we wouldn't have food to eat. You and Yutong chat, I'll go cook for you," Zhang Yuwei said with a smile.

"Do you guys cook yourselves?" After Zhang Yuwei left, Su Fan asked Su Yutong curiously.

Don't wealthy people usually hire nannies and have professional chefs?

"We have a chef at home. Since you're here, my mom said she wants to cook herself," Su Yutong said, rolling her eyes at Su Fan.

"Yutong, is Su Fan here?" Su Dongsheng was pushed in by a nanny in a wheelchair.

"Hello, Uncle," Su Fan stood up and politely greeted Su Dongsheng.

"You must be Little Su, truly young and promising," Su Dongsheng said to Su Fan with a smile.

The nanny, understanding, pushed Su Dongsheng to the sofa.

"Uncle, is your injury getting better?"

"Much better, thanks to your medicine," Su Dongsheng said with a grateful expression.

If it weren't for Su Fan's medicine, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to sit here.

"Uncle, I didn't bring any gifts today. I don't have much of this medicinal powder left, so I brought you a bottle. I hope you don't mind," Su Fan took out a bottle of wound healing powder and handed it to Su Dongsheng.

Su Fan had thought for a long time before coming. Not bringing a gift would seem impolite, and he didn't know what to bring. So, he decided to use the wound healing powder as a gift.

First of all, Su Dongsheng had suffered such a severe injury, and it couldn't heal or stop bleeding, which was definitely not ordinary. This medicine might be useful for Su Dongsheng.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Su Dongsheng was very happy. He had personally experienced the miraculous effect of Su Fan's medicinal powder, so he was naturally delighted to receive the medicine from Su Fan.

"May I ask what you do, Uncle? How did you get such a serious injury?" Su Fan asked curiously.

He had considered that Su Dongsheng might be a member of some mysterious organization, or perhaps a member of some secret unit of the country. In any case, he was likely someone who often undertook dangerous missions.

"Alas! It's a long story, and it's better if you don't know. It's not good for you," Su Dongsheng did not want to tell Su Fan about his situation.

Su Fan understood. After all, he was just an outsider, and it was inconvenient to talk about secret matters with outsiders.

Some mysterious departments even forbade family members from knowing.

"He's just an explorer, making such a fuss about it," Su Yutong next to him couldn't help but expose her father's identity. If people didn't know, they'd think he was someone from a special department.

Uh...

Su Dongsheng was a little embarrassed. He had wanted to show off a bit, but his daughter had already revealed it.

"Then how did Uncle get injured?" Su Fan asked curiously.

How could a member of an exploration team sustain such a strange injury?

"Actually, it's like this. Last time our exploration team went to Shennongjia, we encountered a monster inside. It was a monster that looked like a tiger but was as strong as an ox, with wings on its back. Then, while we were fleeing, I was scratched by this monster. When we escaped, my wound kept bleeding," Su Dongsheng explained.

Su Fan immediately understood. It resembled a tiger and was as strong as an ox. How could this not be like the legendary ferocious beast Qiongqi?

"Stop talking, it's time to eat." At this moment, Zhang Yuwei's food was also ready.

The few of them happily had a meal.

"Yutong, take Little Su out for a walk."

After dinner, Zhang Yuwei urged the two to go out, creating an opportunity for them to be alone.

Su Yutong had no choice but to take Su Fan for a walk in the garden.

Su Dongsheng looked at Zhang Yuwei curiously.

"Are you afraid your daughter won't get married?" Su Dongsheng could see Zhang Yuwei's intentions. Wasn't she eagerly pushing her daughter into someone's hands?

"What? He saved your life, and you feel wronged by him being your son-in-law?" Zhang Yuwei rolled her eyes at Su Dongsheng. If Su Dongsheng weren't injured, she would have been more direct.

"That's not it. I'm quite satisfied with Su Fan. It's just that these two don't seem to have that intention?" As someone who had been through it, Su Dongsheng could see the situation between them at a glance. There was no romantic affection in their eyes.

"That's why we're creating opportunities for them. If they spend more time together, they'll develop feelings. From now on, have our daughter bring Su Fan home for meals whenever you have time, understand?"

"Alright, alright, I understand," Su Dongsheng said helplessly.

Su Fan and Su Yutong walked side by side in the garden. The night sky was dotted with stars, and a cool breeze blew, bringing a hint of chill. Su Yutong tightened her clothes.

Su Fan was a little absent-minded. The atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.

"Um..."

"Su Fan..."

They both spoke at the same time, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

"You go first," Su Yutong said.

"Oh, um, I have something to do, so I'll be going back now." Su Fan was eager to enter the game and didn't want to waste time outside.

"Okay, I'll take you back," Su Yutong said with some disappointment.

Afterward, Su Yutong drove Su Fan back home.

After washing up, Su Fan lay on the bed and entered the game.

As soon as Su Fan entered the game, he went to find the village chief.

"Young hero, thank you for resolving the hidden danger for Qingfeng Village and eliminating the Earth Dragon. This is your reward."

[Main quest completed, gained 2000 experience points, one jade pendant.]

"Young hero, with your skills, staying in Qingfeng Village would be a waste. Recently, the major sects in Tianxin City are recruiting. You can go to Tianxin City to have a look," the old village chief said to Su Fan.

[Main quest: Go to Tianxin City.]

Su Fan could finally go to Tianxin City. Most of the game's functions were in Tianxin City. He was finally leaving the novice village.

Jade Pendant

Level: 5

Constitution +3

Speed +3

The main quest reward gave him an accessory, which was not bad, adding six attribute points.

Going to Tianxin City required passing through an official road. This road was not peaceful. Bandits and wild beasts roamed freely, and it was easy to encounter danger.

Therefore, Su Fan had not considered leaving the novice village before level five. Only after level five, when he had the strength to protect himself, did he dare to head to Tianxin City.

Su Fan hired a carriage and headed to Tianxin City.

In the game, hiring a carriage to Tianxin City was just a cutscene. However, here it was different. Su Fan needed to personally experience the process, so he didn't know what would happen.
