105 Otherworldly Demolition Team
Two days later.
A man, a woman, and a little girl arrived outside the fairy hall.
The woman stared blankly at the ruins scattered around her, her mind a complete blank.
Children are very sensitive. The girl looked up at the woman, took the woman's hand, and shook it, saying, "Mother."
The woman quickly covered it up: "It's alright, Mother is alright."
Xu Yan asked in a muffled voice, "Su Niang, what are your plans for the future?"
Han Suniang remained silent, her face filled with sorrow and bewilderment.
Xu Yan sighed.
He originally didn't want to bring the mother and daughter back, but Han Suniang repeatedly begged him after hearing that they could leave the cave. Even though Xu Yan repeatedly emphasized that the Immortal Workshop was in ruins, she still insisted on coming back to see it.
Even just a glance would be enough.
Xu Yan gently comforted him, "Don't worry, your family may have already left, but there will always be a time for you to reunite in the future."
Han Suniang shook her head vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes.
When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?
Xu Yan felt a headache coming on: "Even for A-Wu's sake, you have to live on!"
Overwhelmed with grief, Han Suniang burst into tears.
When A-Wu saw her mother crying, she cried too. The two of them hugged each other and cried until the sky darkened.
Xu Yan was even more troubled.
Although he hadn't experienced it himself, he could understand the bewilderment and pain of losing one's home.
Forget it, let the mother and daughter cry. They've been under a lot of pressure these past few days, so it's good for them to release it through a good cry.
He left the space to the mother and daughter, wandering aimlessly around.
The corpses of the Blood Demon Cult members were gone, but their tattered clothes remained, presumably dragged away by wild beasts.
Xu Yan thought he should put away the blood-stained clothes to avoid the mother and daughter seeing them and having any bad associations, but unexpectedly he found several Qiankun bags!
Upon opening it, I found it contained many spiritual techniques and large pieces of spirit stones, which I suppose were left unused at the time.
Unfortunately, Yan Qiao's physical body flew into the tribulation clouds. It is unknown whether his Qiankun Ring was destroyed by the tribulation lightning or fell somewhere else.
And Situ Yuan, how could he have been so bewitched back then that he didn't take off his ring?
Xu Yan wished he could slap himself twice. This was an essential skill for transmigrators to make money, how could he have forgotten about looting corpses?
The thought popped into his head, and his mind became active, immediately fixing his gaze on the large cauldron lying on the ground.
This thing was hit by a cannon and only left a shallow mark, so it must be of extraordinary quality.
Although he doesn't have the skill to refine pills, wouldn't it be better to send him back to the mortal world, melt him down, and make him into a flying sword?
Hide it! Hide it!
Also, although the Immortal Pavilion was destroyed, given the circumstances at the time, there must have been quite a few good things left!
Looking around, he saw that the building of Jubaozhai was still there, so he rushed in, but the shop was empty, which disappointed Xu Yan. He didn't know whether to praise Manager Pan for his professionalism or call him a money-grubber.
The other shops were either intact or destroyed, but Xu Yan didn't care. He went in to search everything intact, and even rummaged through the damaged ones. Whether they were useful or not, he collected everything he found and sent it all back to the real world later, giving the Special Security Bureau a headache.
In contrast, more items were found in the collapsed shops.
The Deng residence by the lake wasn't badly damaged. Xu Yan wanted to go see it, but found that the mother and daughter had already cried enough.
When they returned to their mother and daughter, the two had already stopped crying and were looking at Xu Yan with longing eyes.
Helping someone to the very end, even if it means sending a Buddha to the Western Paradise, what more can the great writer Xu say?
"Alright, come with me," he said.
Han Suniang remained silent for a moment before bowing deeply and saying, "Thank you, benefactor."
"No need. My surname is Xu. You can call me Xu Yan, or Old Xu, either is fine."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."
Xu Yan... Never mind, whatever.
He led the mother and daughter to their original home, where half of the house had collapsed.
Xu Yan used only one hand to lift the heavy roof beam, and found many useful things in the ruins, which he packed into two bundles, one large and one small.
Xu Yan has no shortage of Qiankun bags now and wanted to give her one to use first, but Han Suniang has never cultivated and cannot open a Qiankun bag without true essence, so he had to give up.
Hmm, I'll ask Master Cheng later if there are any suitable cultivation methods for this mother and daughter, so they can learn them too.
No need for profound cultivation, just enough to open the Qiankun bag... By the way, could you attach a jade talisman to the Qiankun bag so that ordinary people could open it at will?
Xu Yan kept this idea in mind, and then led the mother and daughter into the Deng residence and searched it thoroughly. They found no elixirs or magical treasures, but collected quite a few gold and silver utensils.
Although Xu Yan no longer had to worry about money in this world, he was still overjoyed and put it all away at once.
Besides that, the biggest find was a batch of blank talisman paper in the yard where the printing press was originally located.
Although they are all made of jute paper, the sheer volume of production is undeniable!
No need to say anything, just put it away!
There were talisman paper but no printing press, which meant the Deng family had taken it away.
Han Suniang also received something, but not money; instead, she received household utensils such as pots and pans.
Although the kitchen utensils Xu Yan gave her were useful, they couldn't function without a power bank, so these other things made her feel more secure.
Xu Yan searched the entire Deng residence thoroughly, collecting a huge amount of usable and unusable items, but he still felt something was missing.
After thinking it over and over, he suddenly slapped his forehead: How could I have forgotten about the timber?
Although this is not the modern world, the timber used to build the houses must be of high quality, especially the beams and the like!
You should know that timber is not cheap these days. Hardwood can cost anywhere from a few thousand to ten or twenty thousand!
If it's made of rosewood or similar materials, the price will be even higher.
Surely the wood used in such a large Deng mansion couldn't be of poor quality?
These are all resources! Money is secondary; the key is that Xu Yan has been taught since childhood that wasting resources is shameful!
So we absolutely cannot let this opportunity pass us by!
Besides, what if they send it back to the modern world and discover some different uses for it?
Without saying a word, Xu Yan started dismantling the house, collecting all the beams and pillars. As for whether the house would collapse or not... half of the Immortal Workshop was gone, so what did it matter if a few more houses collapsed?
If the space in the Qiankun Ring weren't insufficient, he would have liked to put the house inside and send it back to the real world.
No, there aren't enough space equipment. He can't handle it all by himself. We must suggest to the Special Security Bureau that they quickly form a demolition team.
The chaotic demolition left Han Suniang dumbfounded and at a loss for what to do.
Why are they even demolishing houses?
Could this benefactor, the immortal master, have a grudge against the Deng family?
Before long, the Qiankun Ring was full.
Xu Yan immediately sent the ring back to the real world, along with a note instructing Master Cheng not to open it in the rented house, or he would destroy the house.
Haha, I wonder if the landlord would fall for someone else if he met Master Cheng.
After demolishing half of the Deng residence in one go, Xu Yan stopped, still not satisfied. He released his flying boat, called to the mother and daughter, and the three of them left the Immortal Workshop in the boat, heading straight for Thousand Heron Island.
Several days later, several weary first-level agents rushed back to the Immortal Market, only to be met with despair upon seeing the ruins scattered everywhere.
How could such a beautiful fairy workshop be destroyed?
