Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1299: A Narrow Escape

Tan Shaoting shook his head, ”The number of people coming back isn’t important, even if each team brings back only one person, the forces behind them will benefit as long as they have brought back a spiritual treasure.”

”Yes, we will surely avenge them in the future, but what is the use of revenge?

Our whole family is here. No matter what happens or what the future holds, if you don’t have the capability, don’t think about revenge.”

Su Yuanyuan worried about the children; having come here without any guarantee of safety, too many things could happen.

”You must learn to preserve yourselves. Before you have absolute strength, find ways to lie low.”

Qi Yan and the others nodded; they understood this principle but feared losing control in such an environment.

Su Yuanyuan didn’t speak further. Although she taught her children this way, she felt she couldn’t do it herself. If anyone harmed her children, she would fight desperately. But what must be told to the children needs to be communicated.

”Why not just grab it here?”

”With everyone’s eyes on them, they’re still somewhat hesitant; I reckon they will rob when no one’s watching.”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Those who come here represent the forces behind them.”

The family was observing them, and the situation inside was even more brutal.

Finally, they waited until the next day, and fewer people arrived afterwards.

Su Yuanyuan kept her focus on the entrance, and by around noon, dozens of people showed up.

At this moment, everyone inside the array withdrew from the array. Tan Shaoting did the same.

They all went to find their respective elders.

Tan Shaoting’s family followed behind them.

They had no one to find, but the Independent Practitioner Alliance had elders here. Among the twenty-one who entered, only two came out.

Because they had two small children with them, they were conspicuous; one might say everyone was watching them.

Tan Shaoting walked in front, passed through the crowd, and was stopped near the exit.

”Who are you? How did you appear here?”

Tan Shaoting calmly said, ”Senior, we came in together, unaware of what this place was for.

Once inside, we discovered it was the qualification competition for entering the secret realm; we had no intent to enter the secret realm, so we came out early to wait to leave.”

The one who stopped them was an elder from the Nangong Family.

By the time he arrived, the guards had already told him how unusual these individuals were.

At this moment, Nangong Xingyun and his group came over; none of them were lost.

”Fourth Uncle, these are loose cultivators. I ran into them on the first day in the secret realm, and they wanted to leave.”

Nangong Liuxing nodded, ”Then you can leave.”

Actually, by this time the family’s hearts were in their throats. The place Gu Ersheng sent them to was indeed one that kept them on edge.

Tan Shaoting nodded towards Nangong Xingyun. Regardless, they owed a favor to Nangong Xingyun.

The family came out from the mountain col surrounded by the array.

Once outside, Su Yuanyuan guided them; she knew how to return to the city.

The whole family was aware that they were still being watched, so they didn’t rush.

They communicated with each other quietly, Tan Shaoting reminded them to be careful, as they would be watched again in the future.

”Dad, are we going to settle down in the city?”

Tan Shaoting nodded, ”Yes, from now on your titles change; call us parents.”

Qi Yan and the others nodded, avoiding detection by malicious eyes.

After descending the mountain, Tan Shaoting released the flying boat. Nobody would pay attention to such a low-class flying artifact.

Qi Hao and Qi Xuan were extremely excited. Qi Yan held them both while looking down from the side.

”Big brother, big brother, we’re flying.”

”Yes, we’re flying, isn’t it great?”

Both excitedly nodded.

At this time, nobody was paying attention to them, and Su Yuanyuan and her children entered the space to freshen up. Since advancing that day, they only used the Dust Removal Technique, hesitating to enter the space for other times.

The long-armed ape came over, ”Master, Master, in our world, there’s no spatial fluctuation upon entry, so rest assured, nobody will notice.”

Su Yuanyuan was relieved, ”How about Qi Wen and theirs?”

The long-armed ape shook his head, ”No it doesn’t work, there will be spatial fluctuations, but if not within Divine Sense range, it won’t be detected. Besides, it requires Nascent Soul level and above to detect it. When they encounter good things, they can upgrade.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, looking at the three of them, ”Try not to use the space in the future.”

All three nodded. In fact, among the siblings, only Qi Wen relied more on the space; the other two brothers hardly used it.

Since the children’s space can’t be easily utilized, more preparations need to be made.

Once the mother and her six children were ready, they emerged. The flying boat arrived in just a few hours.

The whole family queued to enter the city, with the City Lord here being from the Nangong Family; there were quite a few cultivators coming and going.

Each person needed five low-grade spirit stones to enter the city, Su Yuanyuan thought to herself, if they aren’t wealthy, who is?

Each received a wooden token, which made them recognized cultivators within the city.

Their family’s immediate need was to settle down.

Spending a spirit stone, they hired someone to guide them directly to the task hall within the city.

Qi Wen was quite curious about this place. It was indeed better than the small world they previously lived in, with at least a better spiritual energy, but still inferior to Mom’s space.

At the task hall, they found the rental section.

Eventually, they chose a mid-range small courtyard, which was just enough for their family.

Someone took them there, leading them into the courtyard.

When only the family was left, Tan Shaoting placed a Fifth-rank Array Plate, further increasing their safety.

Su Yuanyuan finally relaxed, managing to avoid paying attention to the street outside throughout this journey.

She felt like a bumpkin, aware that using Divine Sense was forbidden, enduring it was truly challenging.

”If there’s no unexpected event, we’ll wait here for the sect to recruit disciples.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, ”Alright, it means we’re settled here.

Once Qi Wen gets selected, the four of us will go together.”

Tan Shaoting shook his head, his wife thought too simply. They really couldn’t follow Qi Wen along; they had to find other ways to go.

They each sorted out their rooms, with Tan Shaoting following his wife with the two youngest sons.

The two had always stayed with them, so for now they continued this way, planning to change after some time.

At night, while preparing porridge in the kitchen, Su Yuanyuan felt it was slower than in the space.

”Spiritual energy is needed, last time when I brewed porridge in the kitchen at home, it couldn’t even cook through.”

The two little ones had no issues with the spirit rice porridge, Su Yuanyuan realized she was worrying unnecessarily.

She had no idea how long they stayed in the space-time tunnel, but here it was their first truly restful place for sleep.
