It has been several years since Su Ming was kicked out of the Su family, and he wandered around the streets in a daze all day long.
It was a little better when he was kicked out, but as time went on, problems started to arise one after another. Su Ming was penniless and had no place to live, and ended up begging on the street.
On this day, Su Ming was still squatting on the street as usual. I don't know how long it had passed, but suddenly an old man in Taoist robes came to Su Ming with a piece of scone.
The smell of the scones made Su Ming, who was already weak, slowly open his eyes. The man in front of him was an immortal, decently dressed, and he looked like a Taoist immortal. He took out a piece of scones and handed it to Su Ming.
"Eat!"
Su Ming was already very hungry, so he stuffed it into his mouth as soon as he saw the pancakes being grabbed. The old man sat down next to Su Ming and looked at Su Ming who was devouring the food.
"Do you know that there are so many people begging on the street, why do I give you cakes?" The old man looked at Su Ming for a long time before saying slowly.
"I don't know, eh! Cough, cough, cough!" Su Ming puffed out his cheeks. There was already unswallowed scones in his mouth, and he choked as soon as he spoke.
The old man took out the water bag and handed it to Su Ming. Su Ming was not polite. After taking it, he poured it into his mouth and took a long time to swallow the scones.
Old man: "I see that your spiritual veins are extraordinary and that you are a good candidate for cultivation. I would like you to become my disciple."
[Option 1: Immediately answer: "Disciple Su Ming, I would like to join the Immortal's sect." Completion reward: Star Sword Technique (yellow level middle grade)]
[Option 2: "Immortal, let me think about it." Completion reward: Tongtian Bajie (yellow level top grade)]
Su Ming didn't expect that the system options would finally appear again after so many years. It seemed like he had disappeared since he was kicked out of the Su family system. He didn't know why he came out again today. When he saw the system options box, he carefully looked at the people around him.
The old man, the old man looked at Su Ming and looked at himself. He stood up and put his hands behind his back, leaving only his back to Su Ming, giving him an unfathomable feeling.
"I reject!"
Su Ming immediately chose the third option, not because of anything else, but because he looked at an old man and something felt wrong.
[Optional mission completed: Reward power +1]
Following the system prompts, a trace of strength filled his body. Su Ming clenched his fists to feel this change.
The old man looked at Su Ming in astonishment and said with wide eyes: "You answered so simply. It's your blessing that I like you. Don't be stubborn and just follow me!"
[Option 2: Don’t leave even if you beat me to death. Completion reward: Green Flame Ghost Sword (high grade Xuan level)]
[Option 3: Immediately shout: "Come quickly! Kill!" Completion reward: +1 for various attributes]
Su Ming sat on the ground and shouted to everyone around him: "Come quickly! We're killing people!"
This shout frightened the old man. He quickly let go of Su Ming's hand and shouted angrily: "You, who is going to kill you? Stop framing people!"
When the people around heard Su Ming's shouting, they all looked this way.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, who killed someone?"
"Who is this person? What is he doing!"
"Isn't this the old man who was here looking for someone a few days ago? He took a child away before, but he is still missing."
"Hey? Where is the person? He was still here just now!"
The old man saw that people were gathering around him, but when he saw that the situation was not going well, he ran away and disappeared.
"Oh! I remembered that this man is here every day looking for unwanted children and taking them to the nearest spiritual mine to work as coolies. Many of them are exhausted."
"Oh! It's true. Fortunately, I wasn't taken away!"
"Little guy, don't be afraid, the bad guys are gone."
After a while, the crowd dispersed unhappy, as if nothing had happened, leaving only Su Ming alone.
After everyone dispersed, Su Ming squatted on the ground and looked at the attribute box that popped up in the system.
[Name: Su Ming. Gender: Male. Age: 12 years old. Attributes: Strength: 3. Physical strength: 2. Intelligence: 3. Agility: 2. Spirit: 2. Power of the Five Elements: Fire of Bing and Ding. Comprehensive attributes are lower than normal
people.】
"Why are you so weak? This, this is not as good as ordinary people!"
Su Ming looked at the attribute box. Although he was a little disappointed, he thought about it for a while and came to an end. The current body is like that of a child, and he is often bullied. Now he is still hungry and has no clothes. How can he be cured?
That's weird.
"We have to find a way to survive. If we continue like this, we will starve to death on the streets sooner or later."
After looking at the attribute box, Su Ming began to make plans for the future. He had just eaten scones and had something in his stomach. He started to try his luck in the streets and see if a kind person would drop a few coins and give away some food.
Until evening, there were only a few people on the street, and the small vendors had already collected their goods and went home. Su Ming found a place with the wind to sit down, planning to spend the night here.
When Su Ming was drowsy, he felt someone shaking in front of him. Just as he was about to open his eyes, he felt a pain in the back of his head and fell asleep again.
When Su Ming looked again, his body was wrapped in a cloth bag. He must have been on a carriage, because of the severe bumps. Not long after, a familiar voice came to Su Ming's ears.
"I wasted a piece of pancake for nothing. I'll buy it later at the Spirit Mine. I'll have to ask the person in charge to order more!"
This person was the old man during the day. The old man was a fortune teller from a nearby village. A few months ago, when he saw that the spirit mine was looking for coolies, he got the idea to kidnap those unwanted children.
No, the old man has been observing Su Ming for several days. Today he plans to trick Su Ming into working as a coolie, but who would have thought that Su Ming didn't fall for that trick? The old man originally wanted to change to the next village, but after running away, he became more and more angry.
It is better to knock Su Ming unconscious and take him to exchange for money.
"It's over, isn't it useless? I'm a child, how can I fool around with an adult! If this is sold into the mine, it will kill me! It's dead, it's dead! Someone come and save me!"
At this moment, Su Ming's heart felt like several grass and mud horses galloping happily, sometimes neighing, sometimes kicking.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage suddenly stopped and Su Ming was thrown out. Su Ming was so hurt that he just wanted to curse, but when he heard the sound, he had to endure it.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me? If you are wise, get out of the way."
Su Ming thought to himself: Who is a cultivator who rides in a carriage? Wouldn’t it be nice to fly in the sky?
"I am an inner disciple of the Yuxu Sect. We have been conducting a thorough investigation for several months and we are still not going to arrest you?"
"Stop being like this. I've heard too many of your rhetoric. You want to steal my people. Stop dreaming and get out of the way of being a master."
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine and watch the sword!"
After a shrill scream, the man was heard saying: "Why are you so weak that you can't even catch my sword? You still claim to be me, that's enough!"
A thin slit slowly opened in front of Su Ming's eyes. The first thing he saw after coming out of the bag was the old man lying in a pool of blood. The young man stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, come with me!"
Hearing the young man's words, Su Ming took advantage of the moonlight to see his face clearly.
The young man is dressed in white, with long flowing hair, handsome sword-shaped eyebrows, eyes like stars, thin but light lips, a handsome outline and sharp jaws, a gorgeous but not exaggerated posture, and a righteous and awe-inspiring temperament that all embodies the word chivalry.
Su Ming cautiously stretched out his little hand and followed the young man.
