"Hehe, come to think of it, it's also my fault that bitch Ling Songhua doesn't know how to praise. If she had given up the fire ferret to our boss from the beginning, this problem wouldn't have happened. But she doesn't know what's good and what's good.
It’s our boss. Now, our boss wants a man as well as a mink, and he’s looking for someone who can have both wealth and wealth.” The thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said proudly.
"You don't know, that girl looks so stunning, with that appearance, that figure..." Another guy on the side laughed obscenely, and everyone else also started to cheer.
"You're too short-sighted to know that little thing? What I'm interested in is that girl's ability to refine weapons. As long as she is taken down, she will be a cash cow for the family, hehe..." the bald man said with disdain.
.
"But if I remember correctly, Ling Songhua already has a Taoist partner, right?" Yuan Ming frowned.
"It's just an old Chaihe who is about to die. He is really wasting his wealth by occupying such a beautiful woman. I don't know what that bitch was thinking, but she actually gave birth to a baby for him." The bald man said disdainfully.
"Then what does the boss plan to do with them?" Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Of course the old ones are killed and fed to the ferocious beasts, while the younger ones are sold as slaves..." The bald man said, seeming to feel that something was wrong.
Yuan Ming looked at him with a half-smile.
After a brief pause, the bald man suddenly looked at Yuan Ming and asked sternly: "You are a newcomer, how do you know that girl has a Taoist companion?"
"What are you talking about?" Yuan Ming raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a bright smile.
The next moment, the soil on the ground shattered, and seven or eight roots burst out of the ground, stabbing the group of people.
For a time, there were constant screams in the mountains and forests.
When the surroundings returned to silence, only shriveled corpses were left on the ground.
Yuan Ming's spiritual thoughts had covered the entire valley, and naturally he also discovered the small courtyard in the center of the valley.
He immediately jumped up and rushed over there quickly.
…
In the small courtyard, Li Zhuizheng was holding Li Yu in his arms, rocking gently on the recliner.
A copper bell hanging under the thatched gate of the courtyard suddenly rang.
His expression suddenly changed, and the stone door of the cliff cave suddenly lifted up.
Ling Songhua's figure suddenly rushed out and came to his side.
"Did you come to the door?" She frowned.
"We were not alerted until we reached the last restriction. I'm afraid we might not have time to leave." Li Zhui nodded, with a solemn expression.
Ling Songhua looked back and forth between Huo Mao'er and his daughter Li Yu, and was already considering letting Huo Mao'er take her to escape first.
"Don't be stupid. There are ferocious beasts everywhere in this vast mountain. It's impossible for Huo Greedy'er to survive with his daughter. Song Hua, don't be stubborn this time. You take them away quickly, and I'll stop those people."
." There was not much panic in Li Zhui's eyes, as if he had already realized the current situation.
"With your current cultivation level, you can't stop them. It's better for me to stay. They won't easily kill me as a weapon refiner. If I stay, there is still a glimmer of hope." Ling Songhua said.
"Don't think that I don't know what you are refining these days? Zhentian Lei, right? You are planning to die with them. I can't let you do this. Little Carp can't live without her mother. Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, you will die.
It's really too late." Li Zhui patted her shoulder and advised.
Ling Songhua's eyes were red, and the strength in his eyes instantly collapsed, with a look of misery.
We finally got to this point.
If she didn't have a daughter, she would never survive, but for her daughter, she couldn't die.
"Let's go."
Li Zhui put the daughter in his arms into Ling Songhua's hands and took off a white storage bag from her waist.
He knew that the three thunderbolts were placed inside.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed immediately by a knock on the door.
Li Zhui frowned, held a thunderbolt in his hand, and walked towards the door.
As he approached, he waved his hands to his wife and daughter, beckoning them to leave quickly.
"Senior Yuweng, are you here?" At this time, a voice came through the wooden door.
Hearing this voice and this title, Li Zhui couldn't help but be startled. It seemed a bit familiar?
Immediately afterwards, another inquiry came.
"Is the Master of the Third Cave here?"
At the same time as this question rang out, Li Zhui and Ling Songhua's expressions changed again, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
Senior Yuweng, Master of the Third Cave... there are not many people who can call them both at the same time.
Before they could answer, Huo Greedy'er, who had been following Ling Songhua closely, suddenly stood up on his hind legs and looked towards the door, his nose twitching and sniffing hard at something.
Suddenly, Huo Gan'er's eyes lit up, and he jumped out suddenly, directly over the courtyard wall, and jumped outside.
When Ling Songhua saw this, he quickly chased after him.
As a result, she opened the wooden door with a creak and saw a young man in a green robe, holding Huo Guan'er in his arms and looking at them with a smile.
Huo Gan'er felt as if he had eaten the best fire jade. He was so excited that he arched his body up and down, stuck out his tongue, and kept licking the man's face.
When he saw the man's face clearly, Ling Songhua couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Although there is a slight difference from how he looks in memory, there is absolutely no mistaking it, it’s him!
"Yuan Ming?" Li Zhui's voice came from behind, his tone full of disbelief.
"Senior Li, Senior Ling, long time no see." Yuan Ming said hello with a smile, and his eyes fell on the child in Li Zhui's arms, with a soft look in his eyes.
At this time, the little girl also woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and looked at Yuan Ming:
"Dad, who is he?"
"He is..." Li Zhui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to call him.
"I'm a friend of your parents, just call me Brother Yuan." Yuan Ming said proactively.
"Brother Yuan?" the little girl Nuo Nuo called out.
"Little girl, I haven't seen many strangers. Don't be offended, fellow Daoist Yuan. Come in and talk." Li Zhui said with a smile, and hurriedly welcomed Yuan Ming in.
Ling Songhua closed the courtyard door behind him, but a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Yuan Ming casually took out a fire attribute spirit stone, fed it to Huo Greedy, and placed it on the ground.
As soon as a few people sat down at the table in the courtyard, Li Zhui stood up and said, "It's a rare occasion for you to come here. I happen to have a few silver-scaled colorful fish here, so I just stew them together."
"Senior Li's fish soup has made me think about it for a long time." Yuan Ming's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Seeing him get up and go busy, Ling Songhua sat across from Yuan Ming and looked at Yuan Ming carefully.
After watching for a long time, she didn't see the depth of Yuan Ming. She only felt that the aura on his body seemed to be at the peak of Foundation Establishment, but she also felt that something was wrong.
When Yuan Ming joined the group of casual cultivators, he suppressed the realm and forgot to unlock it along the way.
"What's the name of the child?" Yuan Ming looked at the little girl who was looking at him curiously with her big eyes and asked.
"Li Yu, whose nickname is Xiao Liyu, was named after her father." Ling Songhua said.
"Haha, it fits Senior Li's character very well." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
While the two were talking, Li Zhui had already arrived at the table carrying a small red clay stove.
While waiting for the fish soup to stew, Li asked about Yuan Ming's current situation. Yuan Ming only said that he was originally in the East China Sea and had some things to do recently, so he returned to southern Xinjiang and came to visit the two of them.
The couple didn't ask any questions, but the worried look between their eyebrows was always difficult to conceal.
After Yuan Ming finished drinking the fish soup, Li Zhui and Ling Songhua looked at each other and seemed a little embarrassed: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, I have something to ask of you. Can you agree to it?"
"What's the matter?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Can you please take Little Carp and Huo Gan'er to the East China Sea for a while?" Li Zhui paused and said.
Yuan Ming was paused when he heard this. He did not agree immediately, but looked at the two people silently.
"I won't hide it from you. Because of some things, we got into trouble with some people. The other party has a large number of people, and there are monks in the alchemy stage. My husband and I are no match for them. So I want you to help take care of us.
If I can escape, I will definitely go to the East China Sea to find each other." Ling Songhua sighed and said.
"You finally spoke, I can't bear the wait any longer." Yuan Ming smiled and said.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, this matter is really not a joke. Those people are difficult to deal with, and there is an Ishikawa rebel behind them. We really have no choice but to trouble you." Li Zhui saw him laughing and couldn't help but said solemnly.
"The guy you are talking about who is in the alchemy stage must be a bald man, right?" Yuan Ming asked.
"How do you know?" Ling Songhua asked in surprise.
"Don't worry, that group met me as soon as they entered the valley. They won't come to trouble you again." Yuan Ming said as he placed the storage ring of the bald man on the table.
This news was like a thunder, which shocked the couple and made them unable to recover for a long time.
"They are all... dead?" Li Zhui asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry, no one was left alive, it was handled very cleanly." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
Seeing what he said, Ling Songhua was still a little doubtful, but Li Zhui started laughing loudly.
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Yuan, you have saved us once again, how can you repay this kindness?" After laughing, he couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.
"There's no need to say these things that are foreign. I'm just a little curious, how did you two come to live here in seclusion?" Yuan Ming waved his hand and asked.
"You want to ask, how did we end up like this?" Li Zhui said with a smile.
"With your two cultivation levels and Senior Ling's skill in refining weapons, no matter what, you will not be bullied like this?" Yuan Ming did not deny it and continued to ask.
"We originally planned to completely live in seclusion and become a couple of gods. Didn't we suddenly have a little carp three years ago? This child is quite up to date. He has dual spiritual roots of fire and thunder attributes, and his talents are very good. In order to
To make plans for her future, we plan to come out of the mountain again and help her build a foundation for practice." Ling Songhua stopped here.
"Hey, who knew that the outside world was changing so fast. After we came out of the mountain, we found that the entire southern and northern regions were in chaos. When Song Hua and I went out to buy spiritual materials, we were targeted by Huo Greedy'er and forced to buy them.
It didn't work, and we finally got into a fight and each of them retreated. Then the other party found stronger helpers and began to harass us frequently. In desperation, we had to escape here." Li Zhui said.
"What happened in the Southern and Northern Territories? How could everything be in chaos?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Actually, the Southern and Northern Territories have never been stable. It's just that since the destruction of Biluo Cave, the battles between the other four sects have become more and more intense." Ling Songhua said.
"You know about the Qingyan Society, right? They were originally secretive. Over the years, they have secretly attracted many scattered alliances and gangs in southern Xinjiang. Their strength has expanded rapidly. Now they have included Baidu Cave, Beast King Sect, and even Black Fire.
The gates have all been suppressed, and there is a strong tendency to unify the southern and northern regions." Li Zhui took over the conversation and said.
"Qingyan Society actually has such a method?" Yuan Ming also said a little surprised.
"The scattered alliances they have attracted are growing rapidly with the support of the Qingyan Association. They are also under the instruction of the Qingyan Association, and they are occupying territories with spiritual veins everywhere. The Ishikawa scattered alliance is the strongest among all the scattered alliances.
The strongest one, the old sect site in Biluo Cave is now occupied by them." Ling Songhua continued.
"It's unimaginable that Biluo Cave would turn out like this. In this case, Senior Li, if you want to take back Biluo Cave, I can help." Yuan Ming was slightly startled after hearing this and asked.
When he said this, his tone was calm, as if he was talking about family matters, saying that he was going to buy two chickens in the afternoon.
Li Zhui's eyes trembled slightly. After taking a closer look at Yuan Ming, he discovered that there was an imperceptible aura of intimidation emanating from him. He felt happy and emotional at the same time.
"When I first met Yuan Daoyou, I just felt that we had a certain affinity by eye. After getting to know each other, I felt that we had similar temperaments. Now that I see you growing up so fast, I am both happy and a little envious." Li Zhui smiled lightly, not directly.
