The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

Chapter 71 Aunt Sugarcane's Request

"This is......"

Uncle Nine took the bronze fragment and examined it carefully.

He could sense that the fragment contained a special power.

That power was neither spiritual power nor malevolent energy, but something he had never seen before.

"Strange, I've lived most of my life and this is the first time I've ever seen something like this!"

Uncle Nine frowned, looked at it over and over for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Master, you don't recognize him either?" Zhao Yi was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know him!" Uncle Nine shook his head.

"The power emanating from this thing is too strange."

"It is neither spiritual power, nor magical power, nor yin energy, evil energy, or ghost energy."

Uncle Nine pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'll look into it for you later."

"Hmm!" Zhao Yi nodded and casually tossed the fragment back into the bronze granary.

"Then, Master, I'll head back now. I'll come back tomorrow and take these children to Aunt Zhe's place!"

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he left.

After returning to the restaurant, Zhao Yi quickly washed up, then, as usual, put on a record and went to bed.

Silent all night.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Zhao Yi got out of bed.

He slept well last night. Soft music was playing on the gramophone, and Xiao Hong and Jia Yi took turns massaging his shoulders and legs.

This life is so much more comfortable than when I was a cook in my previous life.

"I wonder how comfortable those ancient emperors were," Zhao Yi thought curiously.

"Young master, the water for washing your face is ready."

Xiao Hong walked in carrying a copper basin filled with warm water, with a few rose petals floating on the surface, emitting a faint fragrance.

This is the scent of the Western perfume soap that Zhao Yi bought from the provincial capital. He now uses this stuff for washing, and it's much better than the traditional pig pancreas soap.

After all, money is no object, there's no need to force yourself to suffer.

"Um."

Zhao Yi took the towel and wiped his face, then brushed his teeth with toothpaste before letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Wedding dress, is breakfast ready?"

The wedding dress couldn't speak, it just nodded silently and brought out a few side dishes and a bowl of hot porridge from the kitchen.

Zhao Yi sat down and started eating, while also planning his itinerary for the day.

"I promised my master yesterday that I would send those children to Aunt Zhe Gu today."

"I wonder what kind of expression Aunt Zhe will have when she sees so many children."

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but smile.

After breakfast, Zhao Yi changed into a clean casual suit, put on a Rolex gold watch, and looked very energetic.

"Let's go to the mortuary!"

Zhao Yi summoned the Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon, got into a rickshaw, and headed towards the mortuary.

A few minutes later, the rickshaw stopped at the entrance of the mortuary.

"Master, I've arrived!"

Zhao Yi jumped off the rickshaw and pushed open the gate of the mortuary.

In the courtyard, Uncle Jiu was sitting on a stone bench drinking tea, while Wencai next to him was still yawning sleepily.

"Ah Yi, you've arrived." Uncle Jiu put down his teacup and pointed to the backyard.

"The children are in the backyard; I've already given them breakfast."

"Master, aren't you coming with me?" Zhao Yi asked, somewhat surprised.

"this......"

Uncle Nine looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I have other things to do, so I won't go with you."

"Something wrong? Master, are you afraid Aunt Sugarcane will scold you? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!" Uncle Nine's face darkened, and he glared at Zhao Yi.

"I just really have something to do!"

"Okay, okay, you have something to do, you really have something to do." Zhao Yi nodded with a smile.

"Then, Master, I'll take the children with me."

"Okay, go ahead." Uncle Nine waved his hand.

"Oh, and please tell Aunt Zhe that I'll personally visit her to thank her another day."

"Okay!" Zhao Yi nodded and turned to go to the backyard.

Most of the children huddled quietly in a corner, looking frightened and uneasy.

"It seems they suffered quite a bit of torture in the foreigners' laboratory."

Zhao Yi looked at the children and sighed inwardly.

"Children, come with me, I'll take you to a wonderful place."

"No one will torment you anymore."

The children looked up, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.

They didn't know who the young man in front of them was, nor where he was going.

But they knew that this young man had saved them.

"Let's go."

Zhao Yi smiled gently and told A'da to bring the carriage over.

The carriage wasn't big, but it could still squeeze in a dozen or so children.

"This carriage has been used quite a lot lately; it wasn't a waste of money to buy it."

Zhao Yi had Xiao Hong and Jia Yi take care of the children in the carriage, while he sat outside and drove the carriage with A Da.

"drive--"

The carriage slowly drove out of the mortuary and headed towards Qingli Town.

Horse-drawn carriages are not like rickshaws; they can't go very fast.

With more than a dozen children in the car, Zhao Yi didn't dare let A-Da run too fast.

We traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, and finally arrived in Qingli Town around noon.

"Uncle-Master Sugar Cane, I'm here again!"

Zhao Yi jumped off the carriage, then suddenly paused, muttering, "Why did I say 'again'?"

He shook his head and went up to knock on the door.

A moment later, the door opened and Aunt Zhe came out.

When she saw the carriage full of children behind Zhao Yi, the smile on her face froze instantly.

"Ayi, these... these children are..."

Aunt Zhe's eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Uncle-Master, that's right, it was Master who sent me to deliver it again."

Zhao Yi smiled and quickly recounted his experience in Tengteng Town the previous day.

"Those beasts again!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhe was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Those Westerners and Japanese devils are simply inhuman!"

"What do these bastards take China for?!"

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll deal with them if I encounter them again. But I'll have to trouble you with these kids again," Zhao Yi said.

"Trouble me?" Aunt Zhe glared at him.

"Where is your master? Why isn't he here?"

"Master... he said he would personally visit to express his gratitude another day," Zhao Yi said somewhat awkwardly.

"Thank you? What a load of rubbish! Lin Fengjiao, you heartless bastard, all you do is shove people into my house!"

Aunt Sugarcane was so angry that she started cursing.

"We haven't even settled those dozen or so children from last time, and now another batch is here!"

"Does he think I run a shelter?"

"I******"

Zhao Yi stood to the side, scratching his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I didn't expect Auntie Zhe to be so good at cursing. Could it be that her ancestors were from Northeast China?"

In Zhao Yi's impression, only people from Northeast China have sharp eloquence and can roast people in a way that's almost an art form.

In his previous life, he followed several bloggers from Northeast China, and their witty comebacks were so sharp they could practically be used for a postgraduate entrance exam.

Aunt Zhe scolded for a while, then looked at the children, and finally softened.

"Alright, alright, come in, everyone."

"Uncle-Master, I knew you were kind-hearted!" Zhao Yi quickly flattered him.

"Don't give me that!" Aunt Zhe glared at Zhao Yi.

"Go back and tell your master to send me the money immediately!"

"Otherwise, I can't afford to raise these children!"

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll send money every month."

As Zhao Yi spoke with a smile, he took out a small bag containing one hundred silver dollars.

"Haha, you're so sensible, Ayi!" Aunt Zhe's expression changed immediately, and she smiled broadly.

Zhao Yi quickly called to A Da, who carried all the children down and took them into the Taoist temple.

After settling the children in, Zhao Yi was about to leave when Aunt Zhe called him back.

"Nephew, don't go yet. I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
