Although Zheng-Fu had no knowledge in this field, he guessed that the person who built it might have thought the same as this girl. Or perhaps there was another hidden purpose. There were, of course, many possibilities.

"Mm, I understand, Little Angel! Then let go of this statue. Let's go to the other parts!" Thinking of that, Zheng-Fu told the girl to continue taking him to another place.

"All right!"

Every place this little girl took Zheng-Fu, she explained its history very well. She did not stumble in her speech and gave an interesting narration. Even the surrounding people turned their attention to her explanation, which led many of them to ask to join the tour along with Zheng-Fu and the little girl.

"She is a clever and smart little girl. Plus, she's also pretty. It would be great if I had such a talented and gentle daughter," a middle-aged man said sadly as he looked at this little girl and compared her to his daughter, who was always cultivating and liked using force.

"It is only natural for your daughter to be violent. She has seen your wife beat you day by day. Look, it's been almost ten years before you could visit here!" his friend joked.

"Sigh! Stop talking about it! By the way, when will you have a child like the others? You married a wife a long time ago?"

"I'd like to have one too. But my wife was not patient. When I did that thing with her for a while, she pushed me away and said that was enough. Then how can I have a child?" Another middle-aged man said sadly. It was not that he did not want a child, but his wife always stopped him.

"Be careful what the two of you say. Now we have a little girl too. How could you say such a thing in front of an innocent child?" A middle-aged woman in the group suddenly spoke in dissatisfaction.

Ah!!!

"I'm sorry. We were wrong!"

"It's all right, Beautiful Aunty, let the two uncles talk. It must have been something that stuck in their hearts for a long time. Pretty Aunty, please don't blame them!" The girl understood what the two middle-aged men were talking about, but she did not pay much attention. Although she could not understand it entirely, reading a lot of books had given her some insight.

"All right! When my little angel says so, I'll let them go!" The middle-aged woman immediately burst into a joyful smile when she was called a beautiful aunty instead of a simple aunt.

'This little girl is both intelligent and good at speaking, capturing people's attention like a spell. Unfortunately, her body is weak. Her meridians are smaller than normal people's, making it impossible for her to cultivate energy and get it to a higher level. But she, on the other hand, has quite a lot of fire elemental energy. If she gets a high-grade fire-elemental divine pill, it'll expand her meridians and add energy. Maybe she'll be able to cultivate energy like everyone else. Is it good or not if I give her a Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pill?'

Zheng-Fu greatly admired this little girl for her talent and knowledge and felt pity for her physical condition. He thought that she had a chance to heal if she took the Burned-Heart Flame Divine Pill he had. Perhaps she could break through to the Nascent Soul stage or the Immortal stage. It depended on how much pain she could endure.

Even so, Zheng-Fu was only thinking about it. Because he and this little girl had no relationship whatsoever, all he could do to help her was give her one or two low-level Purple Heaven Crystals in return for taking him on a tour of this ancient ruin.

An hour passed...

"And here is the last place of this ancient ruin. This area is said to have been inhabited by the Emerald-Scaled Serpent Monster. It was a terrifying advanced Great Deity stage monster. But because our predecessor sect master consolidated the members within the sect to eliminate it, this place is now safe again. Anyway, this place turned out to be a beautiful area because the blood of the Emerald-Scaled Serpent Monster turned all the flowers and grass into the beautiful emerald green that everyone is seeing now!"

The little girl continued to explain happily after spending an hour leading the tour and describing every place to those who listened to her. Originally there was only Zheng-Fu, but now there were more than twenty people.

Away from where they were not so far, a group of boys and girls dressed like this little girl stood chatting. A young woman in her early twenties stood at the forefront of the group. This young woman seemed to be the teacher of the group because she had an energy level in the third level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage. Compared to her age, she was one of the talented ones.

"That's Chang-Yue!" one of the boys who had spoken to the little girl earlier shouted, pointing at her.

Huh!?

"Right! That's sickly Chang-Yue!"

"What is she doing there? And what did those people do?"

"Or, is she being beaten?"

"It doesn't look like that. Look at her happy face! It's so ugly! What exactly happened there?"

The group expressed various opinions. Not a single person thought of her well, as if she were not their friend. Even the young woman who was the teacher had a displeased look on her face.

"Chang-Yue! We're about to return to the academy. What are you doing there!? Or do you still not want to go back?" the young woman, who was the master, asked with a grimace.

"I... I'd like to return, Master. But may I explain this to the end?" The little girl was slightly frightened as she replied.

"Fine, if you want!" the young woman replied with a mischievous smile. Her words made the little girl smile happily, but that smile disappeared as her last sentence came out: "But you'll have to go back yourself. It's time for us to go back. If you want to stay, you'll have to go back by yourself!" the young woman said with satisfaction.

Ah!

Besides the young woman, the other students showed similar expressions, as if this was a normal occurrence.

"If so, then I…"

"If you think you want to stay, you can stay. I'll send you to the academy myself!" At that moment, Zheng-Fu, who was close to the girl, interjected with a warm smile.

"No, Brother. If I don't go back with them, I might be punished. Besides, I don't want to bother Brother either. You letting me be the tour guide this time made me so happy. Then I…"

"What are you worried about? Can you tell me what you're worried about? I'm happy to help you…"

"You think you can help her? Ha ha ha! Did you know that this girl is a cursed child? She was the unluckiest person in the village. Because of her presence, her village often encountered raids by hordes of monster beasts and monsters. If it weren't for those villagers gathering and sending her to study at Heavenly Command Sect, Youth Academy Branch, her village would have been swallowed up by now. If you want to help her, then you can only pay her tuition fees, but… it is very expensive."

Before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking, the young woman interrupted in a disdainful tone. She did not hesitate to announce loudly in front of everyone that this lovely girl was a cursed child and everyone's jinx. Moreover, she also owed tuition fees.

"Tuition fees? Sigh! I thought it was a big problem. Why don't you tell me how much you owe for tuition? And how much do you have to pay for tuition each year?" Zheng-Fu immediately realized that the most serious matter for this master was money.

"Didn't you hear what I said? She is a student of the famous Heavenly Command Sect, Youth Academy Branch. Therefore, her tuition fee is naturally high. Can a common man like you pay that for her? But anyway, since you want to know, I'll tell you how much she owes in tuition. She owes a total of five hundred low-level Purple Heaven Crystals and five hundred low-level Purple Heaven Crystals in expenses over the two years. In total, it's one thousand Purple Heaven Crystals. What do you say? How can you afford to pay her? If you can't, then shut your mouth!"

The young woman continued to show contempt and disdain for Zheng-Fu. Because she only saw Zheng-Fu wearing ordinary clothes, she thought that Zheng-Fu must be an average person who did not have much money.

"One thousand low-level Purple Heaven Crystals?"

"This is a lot. I had to work hard for a year to get that amount of low-level Purple Heaven Crystals!"

"I do too. Tuition fees at Heavenly Command Sect, Youth Academy Branch, are high. Sigh! I was thinking of bringing my son to school right now. But I'd better not. Probably going to study at a middle-class academy in general!"

Many people who heard the amount of the little girl's tuition fee turned pale and sweated. Even though a thousand low-level Purple Heaven Crystals were not too high for high-level cultivators or clans with a reasonable status, for the average person, it was a huge number.

"Yes, brother! I am in debt to the academy. So, I can't disobey the teacher's orders. If I don't do so, I'll be expelled from the academy and have to earn money to pay off these debts, which I…"

Ha ha ha!

However, before the little girl could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu's laughter uncontrollably sounded, and tears flowed before he quietly laughed and said, "Little Angel, you don't have to worry. Just a small amount of Purple Heaven Crystals, I'll pay for it." Zheng-Fu didn't even think that the amount of money that the little girl owed would be so small. At first, he thought it would be tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands.

"Huh? What are you kidding about? Huh! If you're serious, then you're responsible for that child. Everyone, follow me. We can go back to the academy now. And let's see if that man really pays for the cursed Chang-Yue's tuition!" The young woman was extremely dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu's expression. She was thinking of confronting him, but she stopped her thoughts for now. She also wanted to see if Zheng-Fu could do as he said. She turned to call the children to escort them to the academy carriage.
