Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 708: 708 was challenged

Qin Weichuan paused for a moment, ”We encountered a high-level demon beast, a sixth-rank demon beast.”

”Knowing you couldn’t win, why didn’t you run?”

”Junior Brother Tan, I really don’t want to talk about it. I will stay in the sect from now on.”

Qin Weichuan, although not exactly a prodigy, was still a leading figure of the new generation. Unexpected that he would be so seriously injured.

The two sat facing each other in silence. After a while, Tan Shaoting left behind a bottle of Recovery Pills and departed.

Qin Weichuan watched Tan Shaoting’s back, not moving for a long time.

Before Tan Shaoting reached his courtyard, he saw Luo Yinghui there.

He frowned slightly but did not stop walking.

”Junior Brother Tan, we’ve discussed it, and we’ll set out tomorrow. What is your decision?”

”Senior Sister, I’m really sorry, but my answer remains the same. I won’t be going out in the near future.”

”Junior Brother Tan, I’ve already fought for you; you can bring three children.”

Tan Shaoting frowned. The border was so chaotic right now, with so many deaths already, yet Senior Sister was disregarding the dangers for the sake of an elder’s abode. He really did look down on her for that, too inconsiderate and too selfish.

”Thank you, Senior Sister, but the three children are still too young. It’s better for them to grow up cultivating in the sect.”

Luo Yinghui was refused again, feeling very angry, but in order to maintain her image, she did not lose her temper, instead, she fixedly looked at Tan Shaoting, then left without turning back.

Finally, this bothersome woman left. Tan Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt sorry for Qin Weichuan, who would face a hard life in the future. However, it was his decision; he was hoping for more resources or wanting to train, so he had to accept the possible unexpected outcomes.

It had been more than ten days since he last saw the children. The next day, he went to Sword One Peak to find his son.

”I’ll take you to eat.”

”Dad, let’s go find Qi Hong and Qi Wen.” How could the children not miss their relatives?

The father and his three children went down the mountain and had a delicious meal.

”Dad, we have five more months to complete the mission.”

”Hmm, don’t take on long-term missions anymore after this one. Once it’s done, we’ll stay together, the four of us.”

”Dad, can we see Mom this year?”

Tan Shaoting shook his head, ”I don’t know either; you should understand it’s usually necessary to have a medium.” He had been pondering this question too.

”Dad, can the mirror work?” Qi Yan asked.

”We can only try. There’s a month left, and we’ll go outside together.”

In the sect, they feared there might be disturbances, and at that time, the four of them would be in danger.

This time, they didn’t go shopping and were intercepted on the way back.

Tan Shaoting looked at the person; he should be from the sect.

”Fellow sect member, we’re not sure why you’re blocking us?”

”You must be Tan Shaoting, right? I’m just here to see what you have that made Senior Sister come to you so many times?”

Tan Shaoting frowned slightly; this person’s tone was very unpleasant.

”Since you’ve seen us, my children and I will be leaving now.”

”Ha, Tan Shaoting, you sure are arrogant. Why does Senior Sister keep coming to you?”

”Friend, I’m not sure about that. If you want to know, please ask Senior Sister. Besides, I have no intention of exploring the elder’s abode together.” With that, he took Qi Wen’s hand and intended to leave.

”Stop, did I say you could leave?”

Tan Shaoting was someone with quite a temper. Originally, coming to this otherworld and having a wife and children had calmed him a lot. But being humiliated in front of his children, he couldn’t swallow it.

”If you want a challenge, see you on the duel stage. Of course, if we were not fellow sect members, we could resolve life and death right here.”

Hearing Tan Shaoting calmly say this, the other party laughed.

”Alright then, let’s go to the duel stage together. Don’t say I, Sun Tianyi, am bullying the weak.”

Tan Shaoting didn’t pay him any mind and continued walking ahead with his children.

”Dad, are you really going to the duel stage?” Qi Yan asked with some concern.

”Hmm, and let some people see.”

Sun Tianyi was following behind the father and children. Actually, if it weren’t for Luo Yinghui, he truly admired Tan Shaoting.

But the woman he liked often mentioned Tan Shaoting, which clearly showed she paid too much attention to him.

Moreover, the map to the elder’s abode was his, yet that woman wanted to take Tan Shaoting along, which made him extremely furious.

After Luo Yinghui was refused and appeared heartbroken today, it made him even angrier that his beloved woman was indifferent to him, yet pined for another man, a fact he couldn’t accept.

Thus, he wanted to block Tan Shaoting, to defeat him to prove that he was stronger and more qualified.

Once they reached the sect gate, ”Do you three want to go back or come with me?”

”Dad, we want to see.”

They realized this was a world where fights occurred for no reason or occasion, and someone challenged their dad, which also made them unhappy.

In his heart, Sun Tianyi acknowledged Tan Shaoting as a responsible man, but they were destined not to become friends.

Tan Shaoting arrived at the duel stage steward, waiting for Sun Tianyi.

He didn’t want others to say he was the one challenging a fellow sect member, especially over a woman.

Sun Tianyi saw Tan Shaoting standing calmly on the side, chuckled, and went to apply for the duel platform.

Shushan Sect’s duel stage was always bustling, primarily because sword cultivators were combative and needed constant sparring to improve.

Sun Tianyi was highly recognized among the Inner Sect Disciples; many knew him and started setting up gambling tables as soon as they learned he was going to duel.

Tan Shaoting wasn’t well-known in Shushan Sect, only that a loose cultivator with children had joined the sect.

Soon, everyone knew it had to do with Senior Sister.

Cultivators were human too and were fond of such romance-tinged gossip.

Their duel was set for a quarter of an hour later; Sun Tianyi tossed Tan Shaoting a badge, indicating he could use it to go on stage shortly.

”Dad, what are they doing? I see them taking out Spirit Stones.” Qi Wen asked curiously. For safety reasons, the three siblings seldom wandered outside even within the sect, not wanting to worry their father and avoid trouble. So this was their first time at the duel stage.
