Seeing that the two had already left, Zhan Lingfeng also put on his clothes.
"Ancient Cauldron?" Zhan Lingfeng pondered slightly, having never heard of anything related to an Ancient Cauldron.
However, thinking back to his previous life, Zhan Lingfeng felt relieved; he had never inquired about such matters, so it was natural that he wouldn't have heard of them.
By the way, he had heard about the Jiang Family. It was said that the Jiang Family used to be the landlords in the village, and during the land distribution, they were classified as landlords. Legend had it that someone from their family had even held a high official position.
These were things he had heard from others before, but he wasn't too clear on the details.
If it really was an inherited Ancient Cauldron, then the person called Brother Xiong would have struck it rich.
Zhan Lingfeng knew how the antique market worked; if it truly was an Ancient Cauldron and sold, it would definitely fetch a substantial amount of money.
Suddenly, Zhan Lingfeng had a guess: that Brother Xiong didn't have much financial power or backing at present. The reason he was able to rise later might indeed be closely related to this ancient cauldron. After he presented it, the leader developed a favorable impression of him and continuously promoted him.
Thinking of this, Zhan Lingfeng hesitated. He could intercept this cauldron and sell it for a considerable sum, but if he did so, Jiang Yuxian's fate would also be altered by his actions.
Brother Xiong spent ten thousand yuan to acquire this Ancient Cauldron; for him, it was a lucky find. For the Jiang Family, they also felt they had benefited, making it hard to say who had truly gained from whom.
However, recalling how Brother Xiong seemed to have taken both sisters of the Jiang Family in later years, Zhan Lingfeng's hesitation vanished. Since it was a good item, he couldn't let that person benefit from it. He decided to intercept the item tomorrow.
After reaching the Dark Energy Layer in his cultivation, Zhan Lingfeng realized that the resources available here were truly insufficient.
Looking around at the situation, Zhan Lingfeng sighed. The conditions on Earth were really not good. Even if he set up a Spirit Gathering Array here for cultivation, what he could produce would still not be enough for himself; he would have to spend money to collect good materials for concocting medicinal liquids.
Alchemy can only be performed when one has True Qi. Given Zhan Lingfeng's current situation, he couldn't even think about Alchemy, nor did he want to.
When he returned home, Huang Xiaocui had gone to play cards, leaving only Li Xiuli studying under the oil lamp.
"Xiu, aren't you going to study?" In terms of studying, Li Xiuli had almost become Zhan Lingfeng's teacher.
"Haha, besides application questions, there's nothing that can stump me now. The exam is in two months. Which high school do you want to get into?" Zhan Lingfeng asked.
"Of course, I want to go to No. 1 High School; it's the best school."
Zhan Lingfeng scratched his head and said, "You know my situation. I really don't want to go to No. 1 High School; I prefer a school that is a bit more free."
Li Xiuli looked at Zhan Lingfeng and nodded, saying, "It's up to you. I know you are completely different from us; you have your own life. Do what you think is best. I'm just worried that if I don't get into No. 1 High School, my studies will fall behind."
"Forget it, I'll find a way to manage. If I get into No. 1 High School, then so be it."
Seeing Li Xiuli like this, Zhan Lingfeng understood that her feelings were complicated, so he said this instead.
Li Xiuli said, "Xiu, I am your woman. Even if I die, I will still be your woman. I will never change my heart. Whether you leave Earth or whatever happens, I will not change; in this life, you are the only man for me!"
This was Li Xiuli reiterating her feelings.
Walking over to Li Xiuli, Zhan Lingfeng said, "I won't leave that quickly either; don't talk about life and death like that."
"Xu, my mother told me many things. Although she doesn't want me to be with you so quickly, I've thought it through. Since I am your woman, I should do what a woman does for her man."
"You should study hard and have a bright future."
"Xu, actually, I've been seriously thinking about my situation for a long time. The reason my family has been gritting their teeth to support my education is simply because they hope I can live a better life and no longer suffer like that. What good is it to do well in school? It's just to get into a good university. Once I graduate from university, I'll leave the countryside and be able to work and live in Big City, earning a decent income."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "Yes, that's how everyone thinks."
Li Xiuli reached out and hugged Zhan Lingfeng's waist, saying, "Having money, freedom, a career of my own, a car, and a house—these are the dreams of many people. But now I suddenly realize that after being with you, all of this is coming true so quickly. With your ability to earn money, it's inevitable that we will be wealthy, right? As for freedom, even if I don't go to school or work now, I feel somewhat free. Regarding my own career, you have built up such a large business; not to mention Tea Garden, which is a huge industry. I want to help you manage Tea Garden. I enjoy this work. If I do that, won't I have my own career? As for cars and houses, that's no longer an issue for you. Suddenly, I've lost my motivation."
Zhan Lingfeng didn't expect her to feel this way and stared blankly at Li Xiuli.
"You don't know; I've always been anxious. Every day I've worked hard to keep my grades at the top of the class so that my family wouldn't think I'm useless and stop supporting my education. I wanted to change my life; I didn't want to just marry someone from the village and end up like my mother and others—spinning around the kitchen. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was still the same. If it weren't for your appearance, my life would have basically been over; it would have been even more painful than for other women. I've even thought about suicide!"
Zhan Lingfeng could only hold her tighter; he could feel the helplessness of this girl.
"I'll take care of everything!"
"Yes, ever since you appeared in my life, I feel like I have someone to rely on. I feel like my life has gained color; everything seems so beautiful now. I no longer have so much fear; I don't want to do those boring things anymore. All I want is to stay by your side and help you with some things—to be a good partner for you."
After saying so much, Li Xiuli's face turned red, and her whole body trembled with excitement; her emotions were truly overflowing.
