"Xiao Ya, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Tang Ya had been silent, Xiao Wu thought of a possibility and comforted Tang Ya.

"Xiao Ya, you'll get used to this kind of thing. Don't take it to heart. I'm such a smart little sister, but I was still cheated by a bad guy selling cakes a few years ago. I only cut a small piece, but he wanted a hundred gold soul coins from me, and he wouldn't let me leave unless I paid."

Speaking of this, Xiao Wu's face was full of resentment.

Tang San on the side said unhappily.

"Xiao Wu, who can you blame for this? I've already told you that if someone shows too much kindness for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. You should listen to me and ignore him. Otherwise, you won't waste a year's subsidy."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu glared at Tang San fiercely.

"Are you blaming me?"

At this time, Tang Ya had just recovered from her shock. Listening to Xiao Wu's complaints, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She really wanted to ask Xiao Wu if the name of this pastry was Qiegao.

She had been cheated in the same way in her previous life, and tears welled up in her eyes just thinking about it.

"Ahem, Sister Xiaowu, this kind of thing is over, just think of it as a lesson learned. We will not be fooled again in the future."

After saying this, a handful of bright orange gold soul coins instantly appeared in Tang Ya's hands as if by magic. Under the refraction of the sunlight, they looked particularly tempting.

"Xiaoya, what are you doing?"

Tang Ya did not hide it, smiled slightly and said.

"This is the gift that Brother Xue gave me."

"How stingy." Xiao Wu pouted in dissatisfaction.

"He's dressed so gorgeously, why is he only given so little? It's not even as much as my monthly allowance."

Tang Ya just chuckled.

"It's more than that, but I just can't take it all. There are so many in it. Although I haven't counted them, there must be tens of thousands of gold soul coins."

"So many!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's mouth widened in surprise.

"Xiaoya, could it be that he has taken a fancy to you and wants to support you?"

Tang Ya suddenly couldn't hold it anymore and hugged Tang San's arm, her face full of grievance.

"Brother, please take care of your sister-in-law."

Although Tang San was very pleased with the term "sister-in-law", he still spoke seriously.

"Xiao Ya, don't talk nonsense. The relationship between Xiao Wu and I is pure."

Then, Tang San said solemnly again.

"However, what Xiao Wu said makes sense. He gave you so many gold soul coins when we first met, even though we are not related. He must have bad intentions towards you. Don't touch the things in this soul guide. Return them all to him when you see him next time. We, the Tang family, don't owe favors to others."

No good intentions?

Tang Ya, however, couldn't figure out what she could gain. Her current identity was just an ordinary student, and her cultivation had never been revealed. The only thing that people might be concerned about was her appearance.

But, if others didn't know, how could she not know? Although she had never seen Qian Renxue's true appearance, she was definitely a top-notch beauty. She was a great beauty herself, so why would she be thinking about a little girl like her?

However, the third brother was doing this for his own good, so he did not refute it.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Tang San nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that after all these years, his sister was still the same sister as before. Her personality had not changed much and she still listened to him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang San paid the bill with a painful look on his face. The meal cost him more than a dozen gold soul coins. More than a month's subsidy was gone.

As for letting your sister pay?

Are you kidding? Doesn’t he have any face?

In order to save money, he found a restaurant that didn't look so luxurious and lived in it.

As soon as he entered the room, Tang San's face turned pale. After the previous fight with Dai Mubai, the aura in his body had already become disordered.

However, he did not want to lose face in front of outsiders anymore. Now, he did not need to hide it and immediately sat cross-legged on the sofa.

"Don't let anyone disturb me."

The two of them were afraid of disturbing the third brother's breathing, so they sat far away on the big soft bed. Xiao Wu asked in a low voice because she was bored.

"By the way, Xiaoya, it's not easy to ask you outside, how have you been these past few years? Third brother said that you were captured by a very beautiful scorpion. In order to save you, third brother has been staying up late every day to practice these past few years, sleeping later than a dog and getting up earlier than a chicken. How come you are back suddenly?"

"Moreover, they arrived at Soto City before us."

Hearing this, Tang Ya knew that what was coming could not be avoided, so she opened her eyes wide and spoke seriously.

"Sister Xiaowu, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else."

Xiao Wu nodded quickly. Gossiping is every girl's nature, and she is no exception.

"That scorpion is called Bingdi, a 100,000-year-old soul beast. She saw that I was naturally beautiful and wanted to keep me there to accompany her. I stayed there for five or six years. Later, she disliked me for eating too much, so she let me go back. After I came back, I wanted to go back to find you. As soon as I got back, I heard that you came to Soto City, so I wanted to come here to see if I could meet you."

Although Tang Ya's explanation seemed reasonable, I still felt like something was wrong, but I couldn't tell why.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu leaned her head closer and asked.

"No, you're lying to me."

When Tang Ya thought she had been found out, Xiao Wu continued.

"If the soul beast thought you ate too much, how could it have kept you for so many years? You must be fooling me."

Hearing Xiao Wu's question, Tang Ya was relieved. She thought she was exposed. The existence of Bingdi and the others had to be kept secret, she said immediately.

"Ahem, that's only part of the reason. Also, the food there was too bad. I just couldn't get used to it, so I risked my life and sneaked out."

As she spoke, Tang Ya looked at Xiao Wu with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.

"Sister Xiaowu, you don't know, that damn place is not a place for people to stay. You can't even light a fire. You can only eat radishes. For six years, I ate radishes there for a full six years."

Xiao Wu was stunned.

"Radish? Radishes can grow in the Far North? What kind?"

Radishes are a natural bond to her, especially carrots, which she likes the most.

Tang Ya nodded solemnly, and then a half-eaten white radish appeared in her hand.

"Well, that's it."

When Xiao Wu saw the so-called carrot in her hand, she couldn't hold it anymore.

“You call this a carrot?”

This is clearly aged ginseng. Judging from its appearance, it must be at least several hundred years old.

Tang Ya hadn't eaten much to begin with, and was a little hungry now. She took a big bite, and felt a warm current in her lower abdomen, which made her stomach feel much better.

"Well, the ones that grow in the field, are white and crispy, aren't they radishes?"

Xiao Wu was also stunned.

"You're going to eat this thing raw?"

"if not?"

"But speaking of it, the large radishes that are a local specialty of the Far North are quite delicious. They taste crispy and have a light sweetness. How about you try it?" As he said this, he pretended to hand over the radish in his hand.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to speak, Tang Ya immediately retracted her hand and whispered.

"Forget it. My brother would be unhappy if he saw you and I chewing a carrot."
