Hmm?

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. The child has been traumatized?

“Don’t be afraid.”

Taking two steps back, Su Jingxing lowered his voice and said gently, “Little one, no one is hurting you here. You’re safe now.”

Stunned, the little boy looked around and realized that he was by the river. There was indeed no one else around.

At first, he was in a daze. Then, joy appeared on his pale face.

“Grandpa, did you save me?”

“…I only fished you out of the river.” Su Jingxing did not answer directly. Then, he asked, “Buddy, what’s your name?”

“My name is Yu Qianlou. Thank you for saving me, Grandpa.”

The little boy was very polite. He stood up and faced Su Jingxing, then bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.

“Yu Qianlou? Good name.”

Su Jingxing praised inwardly. As expected, a member of the Yu Family!

“My name is Jiang Ziya. Little kid, don’t worry. I’ll bring you to your family now.”

Su Jingxing comforted him. “By the way, this is Qinghe City. Your family has put out bounties everywhere today. I’ll bring you to meet them now.”

“Alright, thank you, Grandpa Jiang.” Yu Qianlou thanked him again.

“…Good boy.”

Su Jingxing took a few steps forward and rubbed the child’s head. He sighed that the descendant of a big family was indeed polite.

Such family disciples nurtured since young were basically elites.

Of course, if they really took the heretic path, they would also be a scourge.

…

The consolation was done.

Su Jingxing released his true energy to evaporate the moisture on Yu Qianlou’s clothes and led him to the Jade Sword Sect’s base in the city.

Su Jingxing was not interested in how Yu Qianlou disappeared or how he came to Qinghe City. He did not probe further.

In a large family clan, there would always be grudges.

Su Jingxing didn’t care, nor did he want to be involved. He just wanted the bounty.

He first flew in the sky with the boy.

When they were about to reach the Jade Sword Sect’s base, they descended from the sky and he led Yu Qianlou to the entrance.

“Sir, you are… Little Young Master?!”

The gatekeeper was first surprised at Su Jingxing’s background, but when he saw Yu Qianlou standing beside Su Jingxing, his eyes widened and he shouted in surprise, “Little Young Master has been found! Little Young Master has been found! Hurry up and report to the Sect Master!”

At the end, he was almost shouting.

The other gatekeeper immediately ran inside after getting a clear look of Yu Qianlou’s appearance.

Similarly, he shouted as he ran.

“Little Young Master has been found! Little Young Master has been found!”

Whoosh!

The huge Jade Sword Sect was in an uproar as exclamations sounded.

At the entrance.

The gatekeeper bowed and invited Su Jingxing and Yu Qianlou in.

Yu Qianlou held Su Jingxing’s hand nervously. The little boy had clearly never been to the Jade Sword Sect.

But soon, his eyes lit up. He let go of Su Jingxing’s hand and ran towards a 17 or 18-year-old girl.

“Third Sister.”

“Little Lou!”

The two of them cheered and hugged each other. The girl wiped her tears as she called out.

“Thank you, old sir.”

A middle-aged man with an elegant bearing came in front of Su Jingxing. He cupped his fists and bowed. “Thank you very much for bringing Little Lou back. May I ask where you found him? Please don’t misunderstand, sir. We just want to figure out the route that he took after he disappeared and reappeared. This will be of some help to us.”

“It’s fine.”

Su Jingxing maintained his aged voice and indifferent temperament.

“I found Little Lou in the Sky Water River in the Western District. At that time, he was floating on the surface of the water. I thought it was a corpse. After I pulled him out, I realized that he was still alive.”

Su Jingxing gave a brief account.

“Is that so?” The middle-aged man was deep in thought.

“May I know your name, Brother?”

Beside him, an old man with a goatee cupped his fists at Su Jingxing and thanked him. “I’m Tian Shunchen. Thank you for your help, Brother.”

“You’re welcome. I’m Jiang Ziya. I just happened to give the child a grab while on my way.”

Su Jingxing looked at Yu Qianlou and smiled.

“Third Sister, this is Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang saved me.”

The little boy pulled the girl to Su Jingxing and said excitedly.

“Thank you, Grandpa Jiang, thank you.” The girl bowed gratefully. “I’m Little Lou’s third sister, Yu Qianmang.”

“Hello.” Su Jingxing nodded slightly. “Little Lou is very obedient. It’s our fate that we met.”

“Hehe…” Yu Qianlou smiled foolishly.

“Haha, everyone, let’s go in first. We’ll talk inside,” Tian Shunchen invited. “Brother Jiang, this way please.”

“No need.” Su Jingxing shook his head. “I’m just here to drop Little Lou off. I shall not go in.”

“This…” Tian Shunchen’s eyes flashed as he looked at the middle-aged man.

“Mr. Jiang, we’re really just expressing our gratitude. We don’t mean anything else,” said the middle-aged man sincerely. “It’ll be easier for us to transfer the funds if we go in and have a seat.”

“That’s right, Grandpa Jiang. Come in with me,” invited Yu Qianlou.

“No need.” Su Jingxing touched Yu Qianlou’s head and said with a smile, “If there’s a chance next time, I’ll come again, but not this time. I still have something to attend to. As for the bounty, I’ll leave an account. You can transfer it anytime. It’s fine if you don’t too.”

“Ah, this…” Tian Shunchen’s eyes widened.

The middle-aged man also thought highly of Su Jingxing.

Yu Qianmang’s beautiful eyes flashed. She said respectfully, “Since Grandpa Jiang has something on, we won’t keep you. Also, don’t worry, Grandpa Jiang. The bounty will be transferred to you soon. The three spirit weapons will also arrive in Qinghe City soon. You can come here and get them from Uncle Mei.”
