Chapter 178 Colorful Clothes
Xiao Wanwan and Xiao Shengsheng both opened their mouths wide and looked at the woman in gray in disbelief.
Isn't this too outrageous?
No matter how they looked at it, they would never associate the words "woman in gray" with "old woman".
"hehe......."
The woman in gray couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Xiao Wanwan and Xiao Shengsheng looking at her like that.
Longing and love flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She once had a child as adorable as the girl before her, but unfortunately...
A trace of sadness appeared in the eyes of the woman in gray again.
The round-faced shopkeeper stepped forward and embraced the woman in gray, with a wry smile on his face.
"Red...we..."
The two looked at each other, and suddenly knelt together in front of everyone.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"
Everyone was shocked. Xiao Junhe hurried forward to help the shopkeeper up. Xiao Wanwan and Xiao Shengsheng were also busy helping Hongyi up.
"Everyone, the old man has something to ask of you!"
The shopkeeper seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He supported himself in red clothes and sat in front of everyone, with pleading eyes.
"I know this is too abrupt, but we really have no other options."
"Boss, you know we are just passing through here. We may not be able to fulfill your request."
Xiao Junhe declined tactfully.
"Young man, please allow my wife and I to finish what we are saying!"
Hongyi's face was full of sadness and despair, and his voice was dry and hoarse.
"Whether it works or not, my husband and I will never be dissatisfied."
Perhaps it was the deep sadness and despair on Hongyi's face that touched Xiao Junhe. He pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Please tell me! But we may not be able to help you."
"I know and I understand. Thank you for stopping by for a moment and listening to our chatter."
A glimmer of hope flashed across Hongyi's expression. She nodded repeatedly before slowly speaking.
"We also had a daughter named Nishang. She was smart, beautiful, and extremely talented. That year, she successfully passed the admissions selection for Brahma Academy.
Our family was overjoyed and sent her to Brahma College. However, as the years passed, she never returned home.
We asked people to find out about her, but there was no news of her. In desperation, we came to Shenlu City and opened this small shop.
Hundreds of years have passed, but we haven't seen our daughter return."
When Hongyi said this, tears were already streaming down her face, her voice was choked and she could hardly speak.
The round-faced shopkeeper gently helped Hongyi wipe away her tears, and then looked at Xiao Wanwan with pleading eyes.
"When I saw the token in the little kid's hand, a glimmer of hope rose in my heart. I want to ask the little kid to help me find out about Nichang in the future. Whether she is alive or dead, it would be better if we give up hope. This will save us from endless waiting and disappointment."
"this......"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Junhe's face.
"My daughter is still young and may not be able to help you."
"Young man, we have waited for so many years, so we don't mind waiting a few more years. The little girl is the one favored by Venerable Tianyuan, and no one in the Holy Land will dare to mess with her from now on. My husband and I don't ask her for all her efforts, we just ask her to inquire occasionally."
Facing the expectant and almost pleading gazes of the shopkeeper and his wife, Xiao Junhe turned slightly and cast his gaze on Xiao Wanwan who was standing beside him.
Xiao Wanwan's face was showing a deeply moved expression at this moment. She was also moved by the shopkeeper and his wife's deep love for their daughter.
"I promise you, but I can't guarantee that I can find out any news about her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper and his wife were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you so much, little girl! We will never forget this great kindness!"
The shopkeeper held his wife's hand tightly, looked at Xiao Wanwan with tears of gratitude, and wanted to kneel down again.
Xiao Junhe was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly stretched out his hands to stop them.
"Boss, absolutely not! Please get up quickly! It's getting late now, and we have important matters to attend to. It's time to set off."
"Hey... look at how confused I am! I'm so sorry for delaying your trip. I'm so sorry!"
The round-faced shopkeeper blamed himself and nodded in agreement.
He seemed to suddenly remember something important, turned around, and walked hurriedly towards the counter.
He took out a package from inside, walked out and handed it to Xiao Junhe.
"These are the immortal stones you used to stay at the hotel, as well as some we saved up. We've spent a lot of money searching for Nichang over the years, and there's not much left. These immortal stones aren't much, but this is just a token of our gratitude."
"Okay then, we'll take it!"
Xiao Junhe did not refuse and took the package from the shopkeeper.
He knew that if they didn't accept it, the shopkeeper and his wife would definitely feel uneasy.
The group left the inn and headed towards the center of Shenlu City.
When they arrived at the teleportation array, they were shocked by the long dragon in front of them!
"Wow...are there so many people participating in the Brahma Academy admissions audition?"
Xiao Shengsheng widened his eyes and looked at the long dragon in front of him in disbelief.
"Of course! Do you know how many people there are in the four continents of the Immortal Realm? This is just a drop in the bucket. There's nothing to be surprised about."
Although Xiao Wensheng looked calm, he was shocked by the scene before him.
No wonder people say that there are geniuses everywhere in the Holy Land and powerful people are as numerous as dogs!
Xiao Mimi, who was like an invisible man along the way, was shocked as if a huge wave had been set off in her heart!
She has always believed that she possesses extraordinary talents and is a one in a million genius.
After all, her innate water spirit body and top-grade water spirit roots are what countless people dream of but cannot obtain.
Even after coming to Brahma Academy, which is full of talented people and strong people, she always believed that she would be highly valued.
Everything she saw at this moment made her begin to doubt her previous thoughts.
It turns out that the competition here is so fierce, and everyone is so outstanding and excellent that it's amazing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mimi couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.
She knew very well that if she simply relied on her own talents and abilities, it would be difficult for her to stand out here, let alone realize her dream of making a big splash.
If you want to truly gain a foothold and make a name for yourself in this Brahma Academy, you may need some special means.
At this moment, her eyes inadvertently fell on Xiao Wanwan who was not far away.
Looking at her relaxed and carefree appearance, Xiao Mimi suddenly felt a strong resentment in her heart.
Why can some people easily gain everyone's attention and love without doing anything?
Why is God so unfair and gives all good things to those who don’t work for it?
