C6 Mu Linger
"Haha, you actually have this much money?" "It seems like that kid is also a rich kid." In the alleyway, a child was laughing while holding two bags, it looked to be the same person who bumped into Fang Yi previously. Only when he put his hair behind him did he manage to see his true appearance, it was actually a girl.
"What is in this bag?" Putting away the money bag, the person turned his bright eyes towards another bag.
Unexpectedly, however, no matter how much the girl tugged at the bag, the bag could not be opened.
"Could it be that this is an immortal treasure, the legendary storage bag?!" The girl looked very poor and she was very young, but she could actually guess that the bag was that cultivator's storage bag. It was truly unbelievable.
"Where did that man come from? How could he possess an immortal storage bag?" The girl lowered her head in thought. The fact that she was able to live by herself until now was enough to prove that she wasn't a reckless and innocent child.
"Pah ~ Pah ~"
"
The sound of approaching footsteps suddenly came from the quiet alleyway, awakening the little girl who was deep in thought. The little girl quickly hung the storage bag in her hands on her waist, and looked up at the same time.
"It's you?!"
"It's you!"
The little girl and the person who came to him shouted at the same time. The person who called them was none other than Fang Yi who had come to look for him.
"You thief, give me back my things!" Fang Yi's face was flushed red, her face revealed a look of anger, she shouted at the little girl in front of her.
"This is yours?" The little girl held the storage bag in her hands, and stared at Fang Yi unkindly, if she did not know, she would have thought that Fang Yi had stolen something from her.
"Of course, do you want to deny it?" Fang Yi tried his best to calm his heart, but the unhappiness in his heart still couldn't be wiped away.
"Abominable cultivator!" The little girl glared fiercely at Fang Yi, and then leaped up and used the walls of the alleyway to jump, and flew off into the distance like a swallow.
"Stop!" Seeing that the little girl wanted to escape, Fang Yi bellowed and immediately used the Godspeed Technique to chase after the little girl.
The two of them chased one after the other. Their galloping figures were like dancers in the wind. Their speed was so fast that ordinary martial arts experts would sigh at their own inferiority.
"What a fast speed!" "He's actually faster than my Divine Traversal Technique by a few points. If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Fang Yi chased behind him but was unable to catch up with him. In fact, he was gradually being pushed further away from him, and couldn't help but become anxious.
"Damned Cultivator, damnable Cultivator …." The little girl's eyes were red and she was cursing softly, but she did not stop her footsteps. Behind her, Fang Yi had disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, the little girl felt her feet tighten, and then she lost her balance. She felt a wave of dizziness, and when she regained her senses, she was already hanging from a big tree.
Soon after, three men walked out from the forest on both sides of the road. They held swords and sabers in their hands as they looked at the little girl hanging on the tree with a sinister smile.
"I did not expect to find such a beggar after so much waiting. How unlucky." A brawny man looked at the little girl swaying on the tree and said unhappily.
"Hey, big brother, look, this looks like a girl. Although she's a bit young now, if she were to sell it to a brothel, it would still be worth a bit of money." "Have you forgotten? When we went to the Jade Flower Lodge a few days ago, didn't the old procuress say that if there was a little girl here, she would be willing to buy it at a high price?" A skinny man rolled his eyes and said to the sturdy man.
"Yes, I remember that the bawd said something about taking up education from a young age, so that we could cultivate the best and most talented Courtesan Belle." Another strong man also interjected.
The man called Big Brother licked his tongue as if he was reminiscing or fantasizing about something. His eyes then fell on the little girl again, and that look was as if he was looking at white silver. "Mm, if that's the case, then this little beggar is worth some money. Not bad, not bad."
Brothers, I'm just a beggar, the brothel will not take me. Please, please, please, let me go …" Hearing their conversation, the little girl felt her heart go cold. She said with a hint of tears in her voice, "She is good at this kind of speed. If she is caught in a brothel, in that tightly guarded building, even if her speed is comparable to that of a martial arts master, it will be useless.
"Let you go?" "Then what do you want me to eat?" The brawny man's eyes lit up as he stared at the little girl and laughed.
"I have enough money, so I'll give it all to you. Please let me go." The little girl thought of the money she just received and quickly reached for her waist, throwing the money bags to the three of them.
"I didn't expect that the little beggar girl would have the same copper coin, but it's not enough for the three of us. Besides, a little girl like you might as well go to the Jade Flower Lodge and enjoy life instead of begging for food everyday. As long as you listen to me obediently, the Green Flower Lodge will definitely not treat you unfairly." The brawny man said with a lewd smile as he held the open purse.
"You …." "All of you …" The little girl was so angry that she couldn't utter a word. A stream of clear tears immediately flowed down her cheeks and finally fell to the ground.
"Let her go." An ice-cold voice with a hint of immaturity could be heard from the forest. The three of them turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a thirteen or fourteen year old youth slowly walking out.
"I say, how come all the kids we meet today are all hairless?" The sturdy man glanced at Fang Yi and laughed as he spoke, obviously, he did not care about Fang Yi's words.
It's him?! A sliver of hope appeared in the little girl's heart, but then it calmed down again.
He's a cultivator, so even if I chase them away, I'm afraid he won't let me go. In the little girl's heart, it was as if she held great resentment towards cultivators.
"I said, let her go." Fang Yi said coldly once again.
"If I don't, what can you do?" The sturdy man laughed as he spoke.
"Then die!" With that said, Fang Yi's right hand pointed towards the sturdy man, and a golden light shot out instantly, entering the center of the sturdy man's brows.
A stream of blood flowed out from the line on his forehead. The burly man's face was still the same as when he laughed out loud, while his body slowly fell to the ground.
"The Immortal …." "Immortal!" Upon seeing this, the other two men were so frightened that the weapons in their hands fell to the ground. They trembled as they kneeled down and said, "Sir Immortal, you have a lot of resources. Please let this lowly one go."
"Scram." Fang Yi frowned slightly, and shouted coldly.
"Yes, yes, we will piss off now, thank you immortal." After the two of them finished talking, they immediately stood up. They didn't have time to pick up their weapons and ran deeper into the forest. From the looks of it, they wished they could be faster.
Seeing the two of them leaving so quickly, Fang Yi did not bother with them anymore. Instead, he went under the tree to untie the rope and placed the little girl down.
"Why didn't you kill me?" The little girl looked at Fang Yi's back and asked.
Fang Yi turned around and looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression, "Why would I want to kill you? Because you stole my storage bag? "It's not a big deal. Just bring it back."
"You're not like them." The little girl whispered.
It turned out that not all cultivators were evil people.
The little girl thought in her heart.
"What?" Fang Yi couldn't help but ask after hearing the little girl's words.
"It's nothing, you can go." The little girl said in disappointment.
Seeing the little girl like this, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity in his heart, and said: "Where is your home, shall I send you back?"
"Home?" "Do I still have a home?" As she spoke, the tears in the little girl's eyes began to fall again.
"Don't cry, tell me what you want, maybe I can help you." perhaps because the little girl's crying had resonated with him. Fang Yi couldn't help but walk forward and ask in a soft voice.
The little girl didn't say anything. She just squatted down by herself and hugged her knees tightly. She buried her head between her legs and cried loudly.
Seeing the little girl in such a state, Fang Yi did not disturb her, but stood quietly beside the little girl.
After an unknown amount of time, the little girl finally stopped crying and wiped the tears off her face. She looked at Fang Yi and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"
"If you don't have a place to go, then come with me. This way, we can be friends. Besides, I can ask grandpa to teach you how to cultivate." Looking at the little girl's tear-stained face, Fang Yi said.
"You're a good man, thank you." However, I want to go to Cloud Maple Sect to cultivate. I've heard that in a few months, Cloud Maple Sect will undergo the disciple recruitment test. "The reason why I stole your purse was to collect the money." The young man in front of her couldn't help but give her a good impression.
"If that's the case, then come back with me first. I'll get some food for you from grandpa so you won't have to do anything like stealing. After all, it's not a good thing." Fang Yi thought for a moment, and then said.
"Well, thank you." The girl nodded and said.
"Then let's go. Oh right, my name is Fang Yi, what about you?" Fang Yi laughed and said, obviously he was happy that he was able to help the little girl.
"Mu Linger."
Finishing their words, the two of them headed in the direction of Sishui City. Their previous galloping had exhausted a large portion of their physical strength, so they were not in a hurry to return. Hence, they recovered their physical strength while walking.
Along the way, the two of them chatted as they walked, making the two of them feel closer to each other.
When the two of them reached the inn, it was already four hours later. Inside the inn, Old Man Fang was already waiting anxiously, thinking that if Fang Yi did not return soon, he would have to go out and search.
Now that Fang Yi had returned, he was scolded by Old Man Fang first, causing Mu Linger to feel extremely ashamed. She thought to herself that if it wasn't for her, Fang Yi wouldn't have been scolded.
"This is?" After cursing Fang Yi, old man Fang turned his gaze towards Mu Linger. Previously, when he saw Fang Yi bringing the little girl back, his heart was filled with doubts.
"Hello, Grandpa Fang. My name is Mu Linger. I just became friends with Fang Yi." Mu Linger replied obediently. Her large, watery eyes stole glances at old man Fang from time to time, making her seem extremely reserved.
"Grandfather, Ling'er wanted to go to that Cloud Maple Sect to participate in the exam, but she didn't have enough time, so I brought her back. I hope you can give her some money so she can travel to the Cloud Maple Sect." Fang Yi also came over and said.
"Huh?" "You want to go to Cloud Maple Sect to take the examination?" Old man Fang's eyes seemed to shine as he looked fiercely at Mu Linger before speaking in a low voice. His voice contained a trace of agitation.
