Chapter 107: Chapter 107: It's You

Jiang Yu doesn't explain much to him, "Fifty percent, wear this protective jade, I'll go look for him."

"Xiao Jiang Tou'er, wait a moment. Aunt said Da Jiang Tou'er was taken away by a passing immortal who was recruiting disciples."

That person looks exactly like my cousin and also knows immortal arts, so I believed him, and besides, a little girl like you can't defeat an immortal master.

"I'll take you to worship our ancestors; even though they're empty graves, we still have to tell them you're still alive." Shen Dafu hurriedly stopped her, because he recalled that not long ago he had just been knocked out by his "cousin."

Knowing the other side is fake, we can't let the cousin sister chase after and face danger.

"Brother Da Fu, we need to prepare for the worship, look." Jiang Yu pinched a fire technique with one hand and drew a lantern with flame.

"Rabbit rabbit." Shen Dafu's two- or three-year-old son reached out from his panicked mother's arms to grab.

The child didn't know; his parents were stunned, "You, too..."

"Brother Da Fu, today I'll first set a protection array for your family; no matter who comes, don't respond, wait for me to return." Jiang Yu withdrew her fingers, the fire rabbit lantern still floated among the cousin's family, and she had already quickly taken out the array plate, flag, and layout.

A few buzzing sounds rang, and an inverted light dome sealed the small courtyard; a mid‑level superior array, even a Core‑forming cultivator would need a long time to break.

Shen Dafu finally snapped to attention, staring at Jiang Yu: "Xiao Jiang Tou'er, Aunt and Uncle know you siblings have become immortal masters; they will surely be pleased.

You don't know, last spring there were immortals recruiting disciples; the whole prefecture city went crazy, everywhere children were sent to seek masters.

The captain of the prefectural office's son was selected, and the prefect gave him three parts."

"Which sect, how many did they take?" Jiang Yu's heart leapt; it was probably those people again—major sects of the cultivation world haven't entered the mortal realm to recruit disciples for decades.

Shen Dafu recalled carefully, "Tai... Taiyi Sect, Lingxu Sect, yes, those two."

Xiao Jiang Tou'er, you said that person earlier wasn't the cousin; then have you seen Da Jiang Tou'er at the immortal's place?"

"Hmm, Brother Da Fu, I'll go find that person and see why he came to deceive you." Jiang Yu released a cloud, rose into the air, and with a flick sent a concealment talisman flying away from the small courtyard.

"Rabbit rabbit is gone." Shen Dafu's son started crying and wailing, but the couple didn't bother to soothe him; instead they quickly discussed packing things.

On the other side, Jiang Yu hadn't actually flown far; earlier she had seen clearly that Jiang Du intended to cut open the cousin's chest.

Jiang Tu extended his divine consciousness to its limit, scanning dozens of miles for any spiritual energy fluctuations, "I don't see him within my range, Jiang Yu, you didn't immediately take your relatives away—were you deliberately setting a bait to lure him?"

"No, I'm afraid he'll use some secret technique and suddenly appear again; I'll patrol a bit longer, waiting for the cousin's family to agree, then I'll take them away.

Hey, if I was hesitant before, now I'm even more certain that's not my older brother." At this moment Jiang Yu had already flown to the mountain peak the cousin pointed to, trying to steady herself and search for her parents' graves.

Unfortunately, there are many small burial mounds on this mountain, but none have a standing tombstone; most are just a few stones piled around.

She sighed, "It seems I still need my cousin to bring me to recognize the graves."

"So you came looking for graves; mortal cremation surely leaves remains, you'd better retrieve them and burn them again, then bury them elsewhere."

That fake Jiang Du is a demonic cultivator; he could coax your cousin into using evil methods, and might also dig up your parents' remains to cause trouble." Jiang Tu finished, his expression suddenly froze, and he flew out a cloud to look hundreds of zhang away.

Jiang Yu sprang up and chased after it: "Found him?"

"No, I saw Xue Miao and several late Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"How far from us?"

"Thirty, not twenty li."

"Return." Jiang Yu turned and headed back to the county town.

Shen Dafu and his wife thought they'd have to wait a long time, but the cousin returned in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Xiao Jiang Tou'er... Cousin Jiang Yu, did you find him?" Shen Dafu changed his tone as his wife glared at him.

Jiang Yu didn't mind what he called her; seeing their packed bundles, she said, "I can't find him for now; cousin and sister‑in‑law, I didn't explain clearly earlier, you should move out of this city.

Earlier, that person intended to pierce your chest to draw blood and dig out the heart—if..."

"Master!" the sister‑in‑law shouted in fright, grabbing the person.

Shen Dafu's chest tightened; though he had been unconscious, his neck still ached, "Dig... why? I'm just a small cart driver, I've never offended him, never met him before."

"Among immortals, there are good and bad; the bad ones use mortals' flesh, blood, and souls to practice evil arts." Jiang Yu couldn't say that the person had possessed her older brother, only that he sought her because of close blood ties.

The more they explained, the more frightened they became, "Look, I can arrange for you to move to another prefecture city, okay?"

Then you can use this silver to start a small business. As she spoke, she placed several gold and silver ingots on the table.

Shen Dafu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, keep it for yourself."

"Cousin Jiang Yu, we can move out of the prefecture city; the courtyard is rented, we can just return it, but grandpa, grandma, dad and mom's graves, your parents' ashes are outside the city."

Moreover, to go to another city, we need household registration.

Jiang Yu bluntly said, "Take everything with you."

"Cousin, my parents are still alive. Otherwise, we can temporarily move to my mother's countryside home to hide." Sister‑in‑law, after hearing, no longer agreed; she thought just renting a different house would suffice.

Jiang Yu thought, then she must find that person quickly, "How far is it from the city? Can we buy land?" More than ten li is fine.

Sister‑in‑law was pleased, "Not far, just twelve or thirteen li."

"Alright, cousin will resign, and I'll send you off in a moment.

Take the silver, you lead a horse to buy a carriage and outfit it; later the horse will be used for your trade.

"Cousin, don't decline; I don't need gold or silver for cultivation." Jiang Yu forced the silver into his hand.

Shen Dafu couldn't refuse, so he took the smallest one out, and his wife warmly welcomed Jiang Yu.

Just as she was about to dismantle the array, her divine consciousness sensed two Foundation Establishment cultivators approaching.

Jiang Yu quickly reinserted the array flag; the outer door was knocked, sister‑in‑law went to open it, but she stopped her, "If they're looking for me, sister‑in‑law, watch the child."

Her words just finished when someone outside spoke, "May I know which Daoist is inside? I am Qin Zhuo of the Profound Heaven Sect, may I have a word?"

"Coming." Jiang Yu said, having seen the two wearing Profound Heaven Sect robes embroidered with the Bagua diagram, which is why they called for her.

Jiang Tu added, "Most likely they sensed the array's disturbance and came looking for it."

Jiang Yu opened the door; the male cultivator among them was slightly startled, "You?"

His spirit‑beast bag spat out a large tiger, which roared at Jiang Yu, but in an instant it was immobilized by a binding talisman.

"How dare you harm the Red Flame Tiger?" The female cultivator beside the male struck like lightning, about to palm‑strike Jiang Yu, but the male stopped her, "Wen Xin, this person should be Daoist Jiang Yu of the Grand Void Sect."

"Brother Qin, please recall the Red Flame Tiger so it won't frighten nearby mortals," Jiang Yu instantly recognized the other.
