Mortal: Li Feiyu, who came from the realm of a supreme being

The name has been decided, and the future path also needs to be planned.

Li Feiyu had already made up her mind.

The simplest way would be to use Han Li's name, and have him, as "Doctor Mo," agree to take Han Yunshu to Shenshou Valley to study medicine, but this operation carries too many risks.

Although Han Li would not obstruct his sister's path to enlightenment, bypassing him in this way would inevitably cause a rift in the newly established trust and would be even more detrimental to the stability of her Dao heart.

These two siblings are of long-term use to him and need to be properly settled.

Han Li is irrelevant; he's a chosen one of this world, always finding the perfect opportunity for him wherever he goes… it's just absurd! Take, for example, his two participations in Qi Refining stage events. When he was genuinely in the Qi Refining stage, the reward he received was Foundation Establishment Pill materials; later, when he disguised himself as a Qi Refining disciple to participate in the grand competition, the prize actually helped him break through to the Nascent Soul stage!

Han Yunshu was originally just an ordinary person, but he was guided into the path of martial arts cultivation. His future is uncertain, so he needs to be taken care of with extra care.

So, he first explained his considerations and general plan to Han Yunshu. After listening, Han Yunshu agreed without much hesitation.

"It's all up to Brother Li."

"Okay, then the first step is to leave Wuligou."

……

Three days later, in the east of Jingzhou City, a quiet two-courtyard house was bought, and the deed was registered under the name of "Han Yunshu".

Five days later, a young woman dressed simply and with dignified manners arrived at Wuligou in a covered carriage. She introduced herself as Li Si Niang, from a merchant family in the southern border of Yue Kingdom, and was a distant relative of the Li family.

She came to arrange Li Feiyu's funeral.

"My cousin... has such a tragic life." Li Si Niang sat in the main room of the Han family, her eyes slightly red, her voice filled with sorrow. "He lost his mother at a young age, and his father was in such a state. Now, he had finally made some progress in the Seven Mysteries Sect, but he suffered this misfortune..."

She took out a yellowed letter, which was written by Li Feiyu's alcoholic father two years ago when he was seriously ill. The contents were vague, only saying that if he were to pass away, he asked distant relatives to take care of their son.

The letter was obviously fake. Li Feiyu's alcoholic father was illiterate and didn't care much about his son.

Han's parents were deeply saddened and repeatedly expressed their condolences.

Li Si Niang wiped her eyes, her gaze falling on Han Yunshu who brought in tea, and then she paused.

"And this is...?"

"It's my daughter, the youngest in the family, call her Little Sister," Han's mother hurriedly said.

Li Si Niang carefully examined Han Yun Shu. Seeing that although her clothes were simple, her eyes were bright and her demeanor graceful, she nodded, "What a bright and clever girl. How old are you? Can you read?"

"I'm twelve, and I know some characters," Han Yunshu replied respectfully, following the words she had prepared with Li Feiyu beforehand.

Li Si Niang liked her more and more as she looked at her, and suddenly said, "I am going north for two reasons, firstly for my nephew's funeral, and secondly because my family business needs help. I find this girl to be steady and sensible. I wonder... if she would be willing to come with me to Jingzhou City? I will teach her to read and write, and she can help manage some of the property in the future."

Han's parents were stunned.

This is fantastic news! If a farmer's daughter can learn some skills, she will have more confidence when she gets married in the future.

only……

"Well... we'll have to ask the child herself," Mr. Han said, looking at his daughter.

Thanks to Han Li, the family is no longer as poor as before, and they can manage to get by. They also dote on their youngest daughter, so naturally, they should ask her opinion on this matter.

Han Yunshu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Father, Mother, your daughter... wants to go."

She looked up, her eyes filled with just the right amount of longing and determination: "I want to learn more so that in the future... I can also help my family."

Li Si Niang added fuel to the fire at the opportune moment: "If you two are worried, I can first acquire some land for the family, which will serve as a means of settling down. If Yun Shu misses home in the future, she can come back to visit at any time."

She was very generous, directly purchasing thirty acres of high-quality paddy fields for the Han family near Qingniu Town, and also leaving behind their address and business name card in Jingzhou City.

Now that things had come to this, Mr. and Mrs. Han had no more worries and only repeatedly told their daughter to be obedient and diligent.

Three days later, the green-covered carriage drove away from Wuligou.

The carriage moved onto the official road, and the bumps gradually subsided.

Li Si Niang, or rather, Shen Wan Niang, finally breathed a long sigh of relief and raised her hand to rub her slightly stiff cheeks.

The dignified and sorrowful expression faded like the tide, replaced by a relaxed yet slightly playful smile.

"Miss Han, I have not failed you." She turned her head to look at the girl sitting quietly beside her, blinked, and said, "Your brother's play is really well-organized. I almost believed that I was a distant cousin who came to hold a funeral."

Han Yunshu was slightly taken aback, then realized that Brother Li had not revealed the whole truth to this Lady Shen, but only asked her for help under the pretext of "an arrangement by his elder brother".

She smiled faintly and replied cooperatively, "Thank you for your help, Sister Shen. My brother also... was afraid that our parents would worry, so he came up with this idea."

"Understood, understood." Shen Wanniang waved her hand, quite nonchalantly. "We opera singers, when are we not caught up in other people's stories every day? Your brother is generous and provides a detailed script. This job is much easier than standing on stage in front of those pretentious spectators."

She sized up Han Yunshu, a genuine admiration in her eyes: "But speaking of which, Miss Han, you are quite composed. Just now at the Han family, I saw how you handled things appropriately, your eyes were clear and upright, a demeanor not found in ordinary farm girls. Your brother... he's probably no ordinary person either, is he?"

His words were tinged with a probing tone, but he knew when to stop.

Han Yunshu lowered her eyes and said softly, "My brother has been very good to me. He taught me to read and write, and he also hopes that I can broaden my horizons. This arrangement is also for my long-term benefit."

Her answer was vague, but sincere enough.

Shen Wanniang was a clever woman. Seeing this, she did not pursue the matter further, but simply smiled and changed the subject, talking about the interesting things in Jingzhou City.

Her clear voice and vivid narration made the journey less dull.

Han Yunshu listened quietly, a glint of curiosity occasionally flashing in her eyes.

These everyday scenes and bustling crowds were unfamiliar yet vivid to her. She suddenly remembered the large circle that Brother Li had drawn on the ground.

She finally left that small mountain village...

When the carriage reached Shili Pavilion outside Jingzhou City, a man and a horse were already waiting by the roadside.

Li Feiyu reined in his horse and stood still, his blue robe fluttering in the wind. His face had returned to its original appearance, but his demeanor was calm and composed, somewhat different from the naive appearance of the Seven Mysteries Sect disciple a few months ago.

Shen Wanniang lifted the carriage curtain, saw it was him, and signaled the driver to stop the carriage.

"Madam Shen, you must be tired from your journey." Li Feiyu dismounted and handed over a heavy brocade pouch. "Here is the final payment, plus twenty taels of silver, as a small token of my appreciation for your thoughtfulness."

Shen Wanniang accepted it without any pretense, weighed it in her hand, and then put it into her sleeve. She smiled and said, "Young master, you're too kind. The script is well-written, and the money is generous. It's rare to find such a generous employer. If you ever need my help again, just come to the Rongxi Troupe in the south of the city to find me."

She paused, then added, "Miss Han is steady and calm; she is a blessed woman. Since you have gone to such lengths for her, young master, you must genuinely care about her future. In this world, it is not easy for women; I wish her a smooth journey ahead."

These words were spoken sincerely, revealing a certain straightforwardness characteristic of those from the martial arts world.

Li Feiyu nodded: "Thank you for your kind words, Madam Shen."

Shen Wanniang said no more, nodded to Han Yunshu, then turned and got into another waiting carriage returning to the city, and left on her own.

……

……

……

Li Feiyu then looked at Han Yunshu, who was getting out of the car.

"Have you been adjusting well these past few days?"

"Sister Shen is very approachable and told many interesting stories along the way," Han Yunshu replied, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Li Feiyu's back.

There stood a tall, imposing figure wearing a straw hat, silent as a stone statue.

Li Feiyu returned to Shenshou Valley a few days ago and brought Qu Hun out.

At first, Han Li tried his best to stop it, claiming that Zhang Tie was his close friend, the kind of friend who was like a brother.

Li Feiyu had no choice but to give Xu Laodao three spirit stones from his storage bag and repeatedly assured him that he would bring Qu Hun back before he reluctantly let his best friend leave.

"He is Qu Hun, um... he was refined from a disciple of the Seven Mysteries Sect who died unexpectedly. He was brought here to protect you." He took out the Soul-Guiding Bell and handed it to Han Yunshu. "Ring it three times short and once long, he will obey simple commands and accompany you as a guard; shaking it once long and three times short, he will remain still. If there is no need, just let him stay in the courtyard and don't attract attention."

Han Yunshu took the Soul-Guiding Bell; it was icy cold to the touch. She looked at Qu Hun, whose face, hidden in the shadow of his bamboo hat, was blank and lifeless, truly not like a living person.

A slight chill ran through her, but she felt no fear. She gripped the Soul Bell tightly and nodded solemnly: "I understand."

"You are still young. Although you have opened two apertures, you are still not suitable to roam the world and travel the world. Apart from the Nuwa's Heaven-Mending Technique, you can practice the other techniques as you like."

"Um!"

After entering Jingzhou City, they went directly to the three-courtyard house in the east of the city.

The courtyard is quiet, with a well and trees in the front yard, and the back yard has been simply furnished with beds, desks, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

"This will be your place of cultivation from now on." Li Feiyu led her to familiarize herself with the environment. "Rice, food, vegetables and fruits will be delivered regularly every month and left at the door. You can write down your daily needs and leave them inside the door, and someone will buy them for you. You don't need to go out on weekdays, just focus on cultivating the Nuwa Mending the Sky Technique."

He paused, his tone solemn: "Awakening is only the first step. After that, you need to nurture the acupoints every day and refine your inner world. I have already explained the key points to you a few days ago. You have excellent talent, but you must not be impatient in your cultivation. You must take each step steadily."

Han Yunshu carefully wrote it down and answered "yes" to each one.

Li Feiyu settled Qu Hun in the front courtyard room, and after confirming that the copper bell was operating correctly, he looked at Han Yunshu and said, "I have other important matters to attend to and need to leave for a while. It could be a month or two, or up to half a year. I will definitely come back to see you. Your safety is the most important thing..."

Han Yunshu continued to nod, but for some reason the phrase "caged bird" popped into her mind. She didn't know what it meant, but she vaguely remembered that the storyteller in Qingniu Town had mentioned it.

Li Feiyu left, and Han Yunshu's feelings were quite complicated.

She stood alone in the courtyard for a long time, then turned to look at Qu Hun, who was standing quietly under the eaves, and then looked at this little world that belonged to her.

From then on, the mountain streams and the mooing of cattle in the fields became a thing of the past.

She'll probably be staying in this courtyard for quite some time. Only through diligent cultivation can she gain Brother Li's approval and go see the outside world with him!

……

When Li Feiyu returned to Shenshou Valley in the guise of Doctor Mo, it was already ten days later.

From the moment Han Li met Doctor Jie Mo, he hadn't practiced his skills properly for a whole month, spending all his time running around and settling Han Yunshu down.

Now that everything is finally arranged, he can finally go into seclusion and focus on his studies.

But before that, he still needed to ask Han Li about that matter.

The storage bag Han Li obtained from the heretical cultivator Xu Laodao in Huanglong Village contained spirit stones, two alchemy books (one unorthodox, the other righteous), and a bunch of miscellaneous materials. The most intriguing item was the unfathomable jade token. When Han Li opened it with his spiritual power, Li Feiyu gave him three low-grade spirit stones as a reward for borrowing from his close friend Qu Hun. However, the matter of the jade token was temporarily put on hold due to subsequent busyness.

Inside the valley, Han Li was treating and dispensing medicine to the disciples of the Seven Mysteries Sect. It wasn't until an hour later that the last group of wounded people left.

"The conflict between the Seven Mysteries Sect and the Wild Wolf Gang is escalating, and there are many more wounded than before," Han Li sighed.

He wasn't concerned about the Seven Mysteries Sect; he was just worried that the constant fighting among martial arts gangs would interfere with his cultivation.

Han Li is much busier now than he was at the same stage in the original story.

Besides the "Eternal Spring Technique," he also had to cultivate the "Longevity Formula" and the "Burning Like an Art," and even more so, he had to enter a meditative state to sense the energy flow in the subsequent acupoints. He really didn't have the energy to maintain the "Little Doctor Han" persona; he was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

"Don't worry, these sectarian conflicts only come in waves and will subside after a while." Li Feiyu then changed the subject, "Did you see the contents of that jade tablet?"

Han Li stopped what he was doing, his expression turning serious: "I've been too busy lately, and my cultivation progress has been slow. I haven't broken through to the sixth level of the Everlasting Spring Technique yet, and I can't see the contents of the jade tablet... but I feel it's probably a map."

Li Feiyu pondered for a moment: "Alright, I'll take over your clinic duties starting tomorrow. You should focus on cultivating to the sixth level. Hurry up and see if it's a treasure map; keeping us in suspense like this is really unbearable."

"Okay, I also feel like I'm about to break through." Han Li nodded in agreement.

He was equally curious about the contents of the jade tablet, especially after hearing Li Feiyu's speculation that it might be a treasure map, which aroused his anticipation and made him secretly eager to try it out.
