If there are, kill them all,” Su Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Grandma,” the Blood Crimson Spider darted underground, then reemerged shortly after. “Grandma, there’s one more big one and five newborn pups in there—I killed them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good job. Go play. I’ll call you if I need you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Grandma.” The Blood Crimson Spider vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin watched the spot where the Blood Crimson Spider had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, the Blood Crimson Spider seemed to grow every day, nearly an inch each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the change wasn’t obvious, she checked on it daily—how could she not notice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its birth, she had never seen it grow this fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have eaten something good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Police Inspector’s office returned the Blood Crimson Spider last time, they promised a reward—but it’s still unredeemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a reward, how could the Blood Crimson Spider be growing daily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I have time, I’ll ask it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking this through, Su Jin picked up the big black rat by its tail and went to find Liu Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shi, I’ve brought you a big black rat,” Su Jin said cheerfully as she entered, handing the rat over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi recoiled backward, repulsed. “Why are you bringing me a rat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought, look at its size—it’s almost as big as a house cat. What if some kid in a room lets their guard down and it sneaks in and bites a child?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin wore an innocent expression: Maybe it’ll even bite a kid to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi smiled. “You’ve got a point. Alright, leave the rat here. I’ll warn the other students about these big rats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin nodded and took her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin wandered aimlessly and later killed another large black-furred rat in a hidden dirt burrow at the corner of another courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had nowhere to store dead rats, so she carried this one back to Liu Shi too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Shi, I caught another black rat. There are a lot of these big black rats around here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi glared, repulsed: “I’m not a collector of dead rats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing two big rats won’t earn you an extra merit point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Su Jin’s group earned only one merit point every three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin ignored Liu Shi’s pouty expression, handed her the rat, and skipped off happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she left, the female instructor sharing the room with Liu Shi couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your class’s little students are so amusing! There was a little boy who kept bringing you black crows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me think—how many did he bring? Five, I think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claimed the black crows might be spies’ puppet spies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now there’s this little girl bringing you rats, saying they’re too big and might bite people. Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! I can’t—I’m going to die laughing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shi gave her a disgruntled glare. “My students are very serious and responsible. Patrol means eliminating all potential threats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her female companion continued laughing hysterically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: Fine, keep playing the tough talker in front of me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin had no idea what patrol was supposed to entail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wandered randomly, mostly drifting around the big mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She passed through one courtyard after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She noticed many other students from different classes were also wandering aimlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, none of them knew how to patrol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made her feel relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they met, they just smiled and parted ways. Patrol meant walking your own path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked, Su Jin suddenly realized this patrol duty was actually quite nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more comfortable than sitting inside listening to a bunch of brats cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she walked even more energetically—ahem, patrolled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked, she also casually killed small birds, flying insects, and moths that landed in the surrounding courtyards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew if they were dangerous? Better to kill them first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin didn’t know that after she passed, the Blood Crimson Spider followed behind to clean up the corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, not a trace remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While wandering, she suddenly spotted her sister-in-law, Liu Yunniang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin decided to stand boldly at the entrance; whenever a caretaker saw her, she simply smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to scold her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Liu Yunniang noticed her too—she was pleasantly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been conscripted to care for children and became a caretaker after being sent here with the kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Jin, aren’t you already six? Why are you here? This place only takes children under six whose parents answered the conscription.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yunniang told the other caretakers, then rushed out, carrying Xiaohe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, I’ve been assigned a task by the clan school—to protect the children and caretakers. Our team of three must serve three days straight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yunniang nodded immediately. “By the way, I brought your luggage and spare bedding from home. Since you’ll be here three days, you’ll need to sleep. Take these. You can share them with your teammates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, sister-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yunniang gave her only three sets of bedding—exactly enough for one team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were from home: one was Su Jin’s own used set, the other two were new spare sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here are two extra sets of clothes too,” Liu Yunniang said—she had prepared thoroughly when leaving with her baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meals are provided by someone special. Just wait for them to bring food when it’s time,” Liu Yunniang added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin nodded eagerly and took the clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yunniang, still slightly uneasy, gave a few more reminders before they parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jin wandered and discovered a hidden little garden. She pushed open the rotting wooden gate—the garden was overgrown with thick weeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weeds had clearly grown wild for years without care, suggesting the garden had been abandoned a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1092,"2026-06-20T13:23:54.434Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","46b4b6d842601d2a85794cf1ad14246930db9422a514a2d92feb8f883b459afd","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-128","starting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-chapter-126",156,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-immortal-cultivation-from-the-clan-scho-cover.jpg"]
