Seeing Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's surprised expressions, the middle-aged woman continued, "Little Girl, she left a letter for you."
"Oh …" Xie Yujia walked over slowly in surprise.
The middle-aged woman turned and went back into the house. Soon, she took out an old yellowed envelope and handed it to Xie Yujia. Then, she immediately went back into the house and closed the door, not wanting to have anything to do with the mute Old Grandma and the others.
Xie Yujia couldn't wait to open the envelope and read the contents under the dim yellow light.
The letter was written with a brush. There were only a few words in it, but they looked vigorous and powerful.
"All good things must come to an end. Old Grandma has lived here for more than 100 years and has seen all the changes in the world. She has seen everything in the world. You are pure and kind, but your talent is not good enough. I'm afraid that we won't meet again. Zhao Hongyu of East Ocean is pure and kind, and you can rely on her. Things in cultivation are unpredictable. If you encounter a grand cultivator who tries to make things difficult for you, just say my name, and the enemy will be defeated. I'm Qingfeng Hermit. "
Xie Yujia put away the letter and was suddenly filled with emotions.
She had taken care of the mute Old Grandma for two years and didn't know her real identity until recently. Old Grandma probably watched her go from middle school to university.
Their master-disciple relationship only lasted for a week or two, but Xie Yujia felt closer to her Old Grandma than her own family.
Old Grandma suddenly moved away. Maybe she wanted Xie Yujia to live in Hao Ren's home, maybe she thought Xie Yujia would have a stable home, or maybe she had her own business to deal with …
"Let's go, Yujia." Hao Ren touched her lightly.
The old Grandma's sudden move was also out of his expectation. However, the so-called masters were usually secretive and didn't want people to know about them.
He just thought that little daoist Zhen's plan to meet Xie Yujia's master might have failed.
"Ok …" Xie Yujia put away the letter and walked slowly to her old-fashioned neighborhood.
Old Grandma didn't mention Hao Ren in the letter, and Xie Yujia didn't know what she thought of him. Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren's silhouette beside her and felt a bit lost.
She opened the slightly rusty iron gate and walked up the dark stairs. Then, she took out the key and opened the old anti-theft door.
Hao Ren had been here once before, so he was familiar with the structure of the house. However, the last time he was here, it was daytime, and Xie Wanjun was also in the house. Now, the narrow house was quiet, and the lights were dim. Even with the lights on, it looked a little dark.
Looking at the other two empty rooms, Hao Ren knew that Xie Wanjun's parents didn't live here anymore.
Hao Ren's heart sank at the thought of Xie Yujia living here alone. She didn't want Hao Ren to worry, so she didn't mention these things …
"Pack up a few things. Bring whatever you need to bring over. If you forget anything, you can come back and get it later, "Hao Ren said to Xie Yujia while looking at the dark walls.
"Ok." Xie Yujia nodded lightly and went into her room to organize some books and clothes.
The books on the bookshelves were professional books on some subjects, and the clothes in the wardrobe were simple and elegant.
"You … go out for a second," Xie Yujia suddenly turned her head and said to Hao Ren who was standing behind her.
Her face turned red. Hao Ren froze for a second and then realized that Xie Yujia was going to take her underwear.
"Oh, oh, I'll wait for you outside." Hao Ren hurried out.
The wooden table had been used for almost ten years, and its legs had turned black. There were some lists and photos under the glass. Some of them were Xie Wanjun's, and some were Xie Yujia's.
Hao Ren imagined the days when Xie Yujia lived here as he looked at them.
"Ok, let's go!" Xie Yujia walked out of her room with two bags in her hands.
Hao Ren walked up and helped her with the bags before going downstairs with her.
The two of them didn't speak, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor in the middle of the night.
Since it was already late at night, they took a taxi to Hao Ren's house by the sea.
In the car, Xie Yujia remained silent. She took out the old Grandma's letter and read it carefully several times. The old Grandma's calligraphy was better than any calligrapher's, and there seemed to be a lot of meaning hidden in her short sentences.
"Qingfeng Hermit … Grandma's name is Qingfeng Hermit …"
Xie Yujia put the letter back into the envelope and hid it in her pocket.
In her pocket, there was a box of beauty pills. Xie Yujia grabbed the small box hesitantly.
It was every woman's dream to stay young, but she was hesitant when it came to getting the Ageless Pill of Youth.
Zhao Hongyu, Su Han, and even Zhao Yanzi were real cultivators, and they were half immortals. It was natural for them to take beauty pills.
She cultivated mainly to enter Hao Ren's circle and see if she could help Hao Ren. She didn't expect to be as powerful as Old Grandma.
Hao Ren was already on the path of cultivation. If she decided to follow Hao Ren from now on, she would take the beauty pill …
If she couldn't follow him, she wouldn't be able to take the beauty pill and would live like an ordinary person …
Xie Yujia gripped the box with the beauty pill in her hand, and her palms were sweaty.
The taxi returned to Hao Ren's house by the sea along the coastline.
"Grandma! Grandma! "Hao Ren yelled as he opened the door.
"Oh! My good grandson is back!" Grandma who was dozing off while watching TV in the living room immediately went to the door to greet him.
As long as Grandma knew that Hao Ren was coming back, she would stay awake to wait for him even if she felt sick and dizzy.
"Grandma!" Xie Yujia who was standing by Hao Ren called out sweetly.
"Little Carrot is here too!" Grandma was a bit surprised. Then, she took Xie Yujia's hand and said, "It's okay. You can stay here tonight!"
She didn't even ask why Xie Yujia would visit them in the middle of the night. Since she was here, she could stay here.
"Grandma, Yujia will stay with us from now on," Hao Ren said as he walked in.
"Ah!" Grandma was a bit surprised again. Then, she said immediately, "That's great! Little Carrot will stay with Grandma from now on! "
Xie Yujia was obedient and sensible, Zhao Yanzi was naughty and cute, and the Lu sisters were good at talking. Grandma liked all four of them, especially Xie Yujia who was lonely and pitiful, and she felt bad for her the most.
"Xie Yujia's Uncle and Aunt are all in the U.S., and it's not safe for her to live alone. So, she will stay with us on the weekends," Hao Ren explained.
"Oh!" Grandma was heartbroken. She touched Xie Yujia's wrist with her dry hand and said, "You can stay with us from now on. Grandma will take care of you!"
For some reason, all the grievances that Xie Yujia had suppressed in her heart for more than ten years came out. She almost cried as her eyes turned red.
"Grandma, you should rest early. I'll prepare a room for Yujia. Are my parents back yet? "Hao Ren asked.
