Chapter 48

"You want to pull out all my vegetables to plant a pear tree?"

"With such a small pear tree, is it worth occupying the entire vegetable garden?"

"No more vegetables, what will our family eat in the future?"

"What? You said go buy vegetables every day?"

"Ouch, what kind of family are we, still buying vegetables to eat?!"

Madam Cai blocked the vegetable garden door like a protective mother and chanted at Zhao Xing.

"Madam Cai, can I pay for the expenses of buying vegetables?" Zhao Xing said helplessly.

Madam Cai said somewhat reluctantly: "It's not about the money; I really can't bear to part with this vegetable garden. I like to grow some vegetables by hand for the family to eat..."

"I'll pay double the vegetable money!"

Madam Cai immediately beamed with joy and moved aside: "Pull whatever you want, pull whatever you want. Do you need my help?"

"..." Zhao Xing was also amused; your face changes too fast.

"No need for you to do it, I'll do it myself."

Zhao Xing entered the vegetable garden, preparing to make room for the Tianyuan pear tree.

At this time, Zhao Ruide, who heard the commotion, walked over. Hearing Madam Cai say this, he immediately frowned:

"You actually still charge Xing'er for vegetable money? Is there any elder like you?"

"The third family has a courtyard that is deserted; why don't you go there to plant it?"

Madam Cai muttered: "He said it himself, it's not that I wanted it. Besides, the vegetables bought, doesn't he eat them too... What's wrong with him having the ability to show filial piety to the family."

Zhao Ruide sighed and said: "You are really short-sighted. That pear tree is more precious than ten of your vegetable plots. If it survives, will there be less for the family to eat?"

Madam Cai asked suspiciously: "A pear tree, how much can it be worth? He promised to give double."

"You! Really shameful..." Zhao Ruide pointed at her and turned to leave.

Madam Cai looked at her husband, then at Zhao Xing in the vegetable garden, and was suddenly annoyed: "Oh, since it's so precious, he will go to be an official elsewhere in the future. Isn't this treasure pear tree left to Zheng'er? I was really dizzy just now..."

Then Madam Cai's eyes rolled, and she hurried away.

Before long, she sent Zhao Zheng over.

"Big Brother, my mother said to let me come and help."

"No need, go play on your own."

Zhao Xing waved his hand and then began to cast the spell.

"Wind Summoning!"

Whoosh~

A strong wind blew, and all the vegetables in this land were pulled up by the roots, and even the soil was turned over once.

"Wow, Big Brother is amazing, Big Brother is amazing!" Zhao Zheng clapped his hands excitedly on the side, "Big Brother, do it again!"

"You think I'm doing acrobatics." Zhao Xing said angrily, what is this little brother thinking.

After clearing the soil, Zhao Xing re-controlled the Wind Summoning spell.

It turned into a small tornado that drilled into the ground, digging out a large pit.

Then he broke the bonsai and planted the [Tianyuan Pear Tree].

"Grow vigorously!"

Another spell landed on the Tianyuan pear tree.

However, this was not aimed at ripening the Tianyuan pear tree, but mainly to let the roots of the Tianyuan pear tree take root as soon as possible and adapt to the new soil environment.

A third-grade high-grade young tree is not so easy to move. Re-rooting requires at least half an hour of uninterrupted spellcasting.

"Big Brother, this pear is so delicious, why is Mother not happy that you plant it?" Zhao Zheng had tasted a small piece, and he had a deep impression, thinking it was the most delicious pear in the world, cold and cool, very comfortable.

"Your mother hasn't eaten it, maybe she doesn't know."

"Mother really has no vision."

"Shut up!" Zhao Xing scolded, "You are not allowed to talk about your mother."

"Big Brother, I was wrong." Zhao Zheng pinched his ears and lowered his head obediently.

Madam Cai was a former songstress who let Zhao Ruide have a son late in life. If it were someone else, I'm afraid their tail would be up to the sky.

However, when Zhao Ruide had some savings, she could still grow vegetables and cook at home without being afraid of dirt and fatigue. It can already be said that she is virtuous!

It is true that she loves money, but she actually just talks about it, and she has never asked to drive Zhao Xing out of the house. Isn't it because this foster son Zhao Xing also has the right of inheritance, and she has no sense of security? That is just her protective color.

Zhao Xing had no prejudice against Madam Cai and even understood her very well. It can be said that Madam Cai's selfishness was all for her son.

"Don't let me hear you say anything bad about your mother again, otherwise your butt will be waiting to bloom, understand?"

"Understood." Zhao Zheng nodded, half-understanding.

"Understood, Zhao Xing's home is in Pingkang Ward, I have a relative in Tongji Ward, two streets away from there, there are plenty of opportunities to bump into him, chatting as neighbors is no problem, Venerable, rest assured."

"Don't be too deliberate." Sanwan Hall master exhorted, "You usually go to the East Market to sell fish, just chat with people normally."

"I know." The fishmonger nodded.

"Profound Heaven will protect you."

"Willing to die for Profound Heaven." A trace of fanaticism flashed in the fisherman's eyes, and then he carried his pole and moved forward.

[Jingxin Calendar Year 15, September 13, Mid-morning, 9:00 AM.]

[Evil-Avoiding Warning: Minor Evil; ears and eyes spying, burying disasters in all directions]

"Hmm?"

On this day, Zhao Xing was on his way to the Agricultural Office, but suddenly found that the Evil-Avoiding Almanac turned pages automatically, and a warning appeared.

Immediately after, the panel gave a more detailed explanation.

[You have triggered the effect of the third-grade treasure 'Evil-Avoiding Almanac'. Based on your luck level and known information, you get the following prompt:]

[You have scored A+ three times in a row, attracting the attention of the Profound Heaven Sect. They decided to send believers as ears and eyes to monitor and probe you. If you walk in four directions, you will bury potential disasters.]

"Profound Heaven Sect again?!" Zhao Xing frowned, "Why are they still near Gucheng? It's endless, isn't it?"

"I don't provoke you, why do you keep staring at me?"

Very annoying. Zhao Xing just wants to farm and develop himself steadily now, and is completely unwilling to provoke any right or wrong. He originally thought that after the last strict investigation, the Profound Heaven Sect had fled to other places, but he didn't expect that they were still nesting here, and even started staring at him.

"It's only a minor evil level, which proves that the Profound Heaven Sect will not take measures yet, but this will inevitably lead to action in the future. Jingxin Strange Case, what did the Profound Heaven Sect do?" Zhao Xing recalled the details.

"That's right, they abducted so many Agricultural officials to artificially create natural disasters across Great Zhou. Abducting weavers and mechanism masters was purely to cover people's eyes and ears. In fact, they mainly abducted the Agricultural Official profession."

"The Profound Heaven Sect is a closed sect, but the believer force under its command is also not small. Causing trouble in Great Zhou is to show its existence, plant the seeds of the Profound Heaven Sect among the people, obtain incense and faith, and lay out for the later revival period."

"The Jingxin Strange Case was reviewed by players afterwards. This abduction activity of the Profound Heaven Sect lasted for a full ten years. The first nine years were all about stealing people, brainwashing officials, and secretly cultivating them. By the tenth year, they caused chaos everywhere and erupted together, and their ultimate goal was... the Source Mausoleum Cave Heaven of Guangling Commandery!"
