People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 965: Chapter 118 Shushan_5

Zhao Yu’s steward glanced at him and nodded slightly, “Have you come to see me about something?”

“Steward sir, I wanted to ask about those seedlings—are they not coming to the mansion?”

“Them?”

Zhao Yu’s steward narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is there someone among them with whom you have a close relationship?”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Realization dawned on the steward, and he shook his head, “I suggest you give up that thought. Those who become seedlings are basically destined to pursue the path of immortal cultivators. The next time you meet, they might be immortals…”

“From now on, they will mostly live on the mountain. They will only come to the mansion occasionally for missions…”

“What we need to do is serve and attend to them when they come down from the mountain…”

“I understand…”

Zhao Yu politely thanked him and left while the steward shook his head, giving it no further thought.

Like him, he had seen many such people who ultimately came to realize their reality and painfully let go of their desires.

The subsequent life of menial tasks was indeed as the steward had said—little work but plentiful food, causing all the menial workers to be overjoyed, exclaiming with great delight.

With their newfound free time, naturally, everyone started cultivating using a Body Refining Technique.

The steward was quite compassionate. In the beginning, he even explained some difficult parts to everyone.

However, he emphasized that cultivating Body Refining Techniques required consuming a lot of meat to replenish energy.

This posed a dilemma for the menial workers. Although they had plenty to eat, meat was scarce, and naturally, their cultivation progress was slow.

Lacking meat, some diligent menial workers chose to increase their exercise frequency, much to the steward’s shaking head.

However, what puzzled him was that there was one particular person who was special—he practiced body refinement for only an hour a day, spending the rest of his time chatting with the maids.

Every time he saw the young man, called Silly Dunce, making the maids laugh and flutter, he would marvel at the name given to him. It wasn’t a dunce at all; on the contrary, he was a cunning egg, a lustful cunning egg.

Just when Zhao Yu thought that his life would peacefully continue in this manner, on his third month at Zhao Mansion in Suyuan City, a letter from Tiger Girl reached his hands.

When Zhao Yu’s steward found him with the letter, he was visibly moved, “Don’t think that the person from Shushan hasn’t forgotten about you; this is probably a breakup letter. Just do what you think is best…”

Of course, he had not read the letter, assuming that the person from Shushan was emotionally severing ties with Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu thanked the steward and took the letter back to his room.

Lying comfortably on his wooden bed, he finally opened the letter.

To his surprise, the letter was lengthy, written on dozens of pages.

Zhao Yu quickly flipped through it and discovered that Tiger Girl had written about her three months in Shushan in the form of a diary.

January 1st.

Silly Dunce, I’m sorry, I love you!

Today, I asked Second Miss if you could also come to Shushan.

Second Miss said if I agreed to one thing for her, she would bring you to Shushan.

To my surprise, Second Miss actually requested that I never meet you again afterward.

Silly Dunce, it pains me; I don’t understand why Second Miss would do this.

But for you to come to Shushan, I ultimately agreed to her condition.

Today was the first time I ever talked back to Second Miss, asking her why.

Second Miss told me it was for my own good, saying that as someone destined to cultivate towards becoming an Immortal, I must accept our separation from you. It’s better to sever now than later.

Although I believe Second Miss was not deceiving me, I cannot reconcile with just parting from you like this.

If cultivating to become an Immortal means having to forget our feelings, then it’s too heartless.

So, I’m thinking, even if I become an Immortal in the future, I will never forget you.

Silly Dunce, I love you.

Tiger Girl.

After reading the first letter, Zhao Yu’s feelings were mixed. So, it was that Second Miss who had forbidden their meeting.

This actually resolved one of his concerns.

After all, his feelings for Tiger Girl weren’t entirely sincere, there was a lot of manipulation involved, and now not seeing Tiger Girl was for the best.

The next few letters, each written on a single piece of paper with several dates, didn’t contain much content. Apart from “Silly Dunce, I love you,” was “Silly Dunce, I hope you haven’t died.”

It was only on the day he arrived here that Tiger Girl wrote more in her letter, mentioning that she had asked someone about him and, knowing that he was still alive, she could be at peace.

What really interested Zhao Yu, however, was what had happened to Tiger Girl after ascending Shushan.

January 16th.

Silly Dunce, I love you.

There was so much going on today that I only found time to write to you this evening. I just don’t know when this will reach your hands.

I really look forward to seeing your reaction when you read my letters.

It was only today, after ascending the mountain, that I realized how many of us are seedlings here, a vast sea of people.

Even Second Miss was somewhat shaken. Later, she inquired and found out that our batch of beginner disciples numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Just from Suyuan City alone, there were several thousand seedlings. Adding other cities, Second Miss said there were at least two hundred thousand seedlings.

However, of so many seedlings, probably not many will remain in the end.

People like Second Miss, whose ancestors had shed blood and sweat for Shushan, were directly recruited into the outer sect.

Us unrelated seedlings, on the other hand, were all made nominal disciples.
