Alex went outside with his family the next day to roam the city since Ronron had never been to one outside of the Central Continent.

She played in the snow for a bit before letting the group go to the city.

She was like a child in a candy shop, curiously looking at every single shop and trying to buy whatever she could get her hands on.

“Father, I want that,” she pointed at a small plate armor that was hanging outside one of the shops.

“Do you even know if that is good?” Alex asked her.

“No, but it looks pretty,” Ronron said.

“It is, isn’t it,” Liz asked. “Let me buy my grandniece that armor.”

“Really, grandaunt? Thank you!” Ronron jumped up and down excitedly.

“You shouldn’t buy stuff just because they look pretty. You need to buy them because they are useful,” Alex told her.

“So what?” Ronron said. “I’m a princess, aren’t I? Shouldn’t princesses look pretty?”

“That…” Alex couldn’t find a retort. “Then let’s find you stuff that is both pretty and useful.”

“Oh, right. Let’s search for those,” Ronron said.

They went around the city buying various things, but Ronron didn’t really find anything that she liked that was both pretty and useful.

The city simply didn’t have such a thing ready to sell at all.

“What do we do now?” Ronron asked. “Do we go to a different city?”

“We can,” Alex said. “I want to go meet senior Luhei today anyway, so we can try and see if there are cities along the way that sell what you would like.”

“Okay,” Ronron said excitedly. “But are you sure those cities will have what we are looking for?”

“We can only tell after looking through them, can’t we?” Alex asked.

“If you really want useful items, you can’t bother with these normal shops, little girl,” Liz said. “You actually need to go visit an auction. They sell the best of the best items there.”

“Auction?” Ronron’s eyes shined when she heard that word. “Father! Can we go to an Auction please?”

“Auction?” Alex looked around. “They don’t take place whenever. There is usually a time and a place for these things.”

“Please, please, please!” Ronron nearly begged him.

“Come on. You have to do it now,” Liz said from the side.

“Sigh, alright. Let me ask the sect master to check if there are any auctions taking place today or tomorrow,” Alex said.

“Thank you!” Ronron nearly jumped over them in excitement.

The group turned to go back to the Blue Spring sect. Ronron walked ahead with Graham looking at the many shops again, while Liz followed behind them with Alex.

“Having a daughter isn’t easy, is it?” she asked.

“I don’t know, aunt,” Alex said. “I can’t say for sure since I didn’t raise her.”

“Trust me, it is,” Liz said. “Hannah was a pain to take care of for the longest time, especially with Rob busy at his job all day. It’s a miracle she came out as good as she did.”

Alex smiled at her aunt.

“Are you going to have her call you Dad soon?” Liz asked.

“Dad? She calls me father, isn’t that good enough?” Alex asked.

“Father is super stiff. It makes it seem like the two of you aren’t close at all,” Liz said.

“That’s not false though. It feels wrong to even call myself her father. I feel like I don’t deserve it at all,” Alex said.

“You can’t blame yourself for that,” Liz said. “You didn’t know about her until you met her, right? It’s not your fault.”

Alex nodded. “But her calling me Father isn’t bad, is it? I call Father, Father,” he said.

“Yeah, I don’t know where brother and sister Helen went wrong, but they should have changed your speech pattern long ago. It’s probably because your grandpa wanted us to refer to him as Father too, so it stuck with brother,” Liz said.

“I see,” Alex thought. “I will have a talk with her about it soon. For now, I will let her just call me Father. It helps distinguish which one of us she is referring to.”

“Yes,” Alex nodded. “He finished cultivating early in the morning, so I let him rest inside the beast space. It helps him quite a lot.”

“Poor kid,” Liz said. “You must do whatever you can to fix his problems, okay?”

“I will,” Alex said with a soft smile. “Oh right, I’ve been meaning to ask you about some things, aunt Liz. Have you talked with your master?”

“My master? About what?” Liz asked.

“About leaving the Blazing Earth sect,” Alex said. “Leaving the Northern continent and come live with us in the Southern Continent.”

Liz stopped in her footsteps. “Right…” she said softly as he eyes wandered around a bit. “I hadn’t given it much thought at all.”

“Are you unsure if you want to leave or not?” Alex asked.

“I’m sure I want to leave,” Liz quickly said. “Or at least I think I am, but I don’t know. As I said, I didn’t really give it any thought.”

“You must come with us, Aunt Liz,” Alex said.

“But…” Liz felt a little sad. Not only would she have to leave the people she had gotten so close to, she also felt like she was betraying the trust and help all those people had given her which had brought her to where she was.

“I should talk with my master,” she said softly.

“Please do,” Alex said. “I don’t want them to cause any problem when it is time for us to leave.”

They all finally returned back to the Blue Spring sect, and with Ronron’s constant insistence, Alex found the sect leader and got him to find out if there was any auction being held around the continent.

“I’ll send you someone with that information very soon,” Huang Xinyi said and left.

An hour later, Ma Tianxin arrived at his door with the talisman that contained said information.

“Here is the information you requested,” Ma Tianxin handed over the talisman.

“Thank you,” Alex said as he took the talisman. “How are your preparations going?”

“Uhh… well enough,” Ma Tianxin said. “It took a bit to convince father-in-law to let Xiuyin come with me, but I’ve succeeded in that, so we should be leaving together when the time comes.”

“Great,” Alex said and sent him away.

Alex returned to the room with the excited Ronron urgently asking him to look through the information.

Alex chuckled a bit and read through the talisman.

The talisman consisted of information about every single auction that was going to be held within the next 24 hours.

Alex looked through the list and judged which one would have the best items based on the cities they were in. Not only that, but he also had to judge it based on if the city was on the way to senior Luhei or not.

“Oh, there’s this auction opening,” he said out loud. It wasn’t on the way, but it was certainly one of the best for sure.

“A little detour won’t hurt us,” he thought.

“Where are we going, father?” Ronron asked.

Alex looked at her and answered. “We’re going to Silvermoon city.”
