Chapter 126 - Order To Ban
Xue Fanxin did not give Xue Batian an answer right away. Instead, she opened her palm and carefully sensed the invisible gestures on it.
As time passed, the remaining spiritual energy on her palm weakened. The words written were no longer as clear as before, so it took quite a while to read them clearly.
"Go quickly, under Yue Niang's… grave."
"Grandpa, Great-grandpa told us to leave quickly, so I was in a hurry to take you out of the Xue family. As for what this 'under Yue Niang's grave' means, I don't understand."
"Yue Niang is my biological mother, your great-grandma. Your great-grandfather should be saying that the thing is under your great-grandma's grave." As soon as Xue Batian finished speaking, he immediately shut his mouth and looked around vigilantly to see if anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation.
Seeing that Xue Batian was so alert, someone as smart as Xue Fanxin naturally knew the importance of this matter. She said nothing and quickly changed the topic. "Grandpa, although we've left the Xue family, this is the Heavenly Saints Empire. We're not familiar with the place, which will make it a little tough to get by!"
"It's more than a little. It's going to be very, very bad." Xue Batian purposefully put on a bitter face to fool around with his granddaughter. No matter how bad his current situation was, he would face it with a smile, not a sigh.
"Grandpa, aren't you exaggerating a bit? No matter what, you lived here forty years ago. Even without the Xue family, it shouldn't be difficult for you to survive here, right?"
"How could it not be difficult? It's really difficult."
"Why?"
"Because we don't have money, authority, or anything."
"We have money!" Xue Fanxin took out and opened the pouch, revealing the gold and silver inside.
Xue Batian shook his head and sighed. "This is money used outside the Tong Realm. The currency here is spirit coins."
"What? Spirit coins?"
Goodness, wouldn't they be penniless now?
"Grandpa, we really don't have a single cent then." Xue Fanxin looked at Xue Batian, feeling like she was about to cry. The grandfather and granddaughter faced each other bitterly, but they did not show much grief or sorrow. They were like a pair of clowns, looking for joy in their misery.
"We're not just poor. If I'm not wrong, the Xue family has already issued a ban throughout the entire Heavenly Saints City. No one is to help us. No inn, restaurant, tea house, or anything else can do our business. They can't even give us a drop of water." Xue Batian's expression got more and more ugly. He was truly sorrowful and helpless.
When he was driven out of the Xue family in the past, they had used a similar method to force him into a corner. He had no choice but to leave Heavenly Saints City and even the Tong Realm to earn a living.
Based on his understanding of the Xue family, they must have used this tactic often. This time, it would probably be worse. They might even want to trap them in Heavenly Saints City until they died.
Just as Xue Batian had guessed, as soon as the grandfather and granddaughter pair left, Madam Xue had placed the Xue family's most powerful ban on them. Although it was a ban, not a kill order, it was much more terrifying than a kill order.
This kind of top-notch ban could force people to death.
"Xue Fanxin, I'll definitely make you die miserably. I'll let you know clearly what the consequences of going against me are!"
No one in the Xue family objected to Madam Xue's order. Even the current patriarch, Xue Lianfeng, said nothing.
Xue Lianfeng did not care about Xue Fanxin and Xue Batian's lives. At this moment, he was rummaging through the Old Master's room as if he was looking for something important.
"Where did this old guy hide it?"
