"Hmm~hmm~"
"What is Lian jiejie writing?" xiaobai said investigating the paper that Mu Lian was writing.
"This? This is a list of pills and concoctions, ah, do not forget also the treatments that guests use. I wrote it so I could calculate how much it would cost" Mu Lian said.
Xiaobai. It seems like Mu Lian still prioritizes her business over others, ahem the good looks of the guests who just came.
Initially Mu Lian unceasingly told Xiaobai how perfect the newly arrived guest was.
Fortunately, Mu Lian had not forgotten her current goal; to be the richest person in this world. From the story he heard, Mu Lian's business was so profitable that Mu Lian's ideals would be very likely to be achieved.
"Hmm? Xiaobai do we understand what I just said? Smart kid!" said Mu Lian amusedly looking at Xiaobai's attitude that resembled that of an adult. Mu Lian observed the tiny creature that was beginning to show her intelligence.
Given that Baize was a mythical creature with a vast amount of knowledge, of course the significant development Xiaobai showed was his cognitive development.
With her age still green, Xiaobai already understood business and easily understood what Mu Lian described. All the knowledge given to him would instantly absorb into his brain, like a sponge.
In addition, Baize's baby will get a legacy in the form of knowledge and memories from his parents gradually. It seemed that Xiaobai had already accumulated quite a bit of knowledge from his mother's current legacy.
"Done!" mu Lian said happily after seeing the amount to be billed.
"Xiaobai, I'll see you tonight! I've refilled your toy raft," said Mu Lian stroking Xiaobai's head then immediately out of the pseudo-world.
When the ring wrapped around the mysterious tree root shone brightly, two 12-year-old boys pacing by the pool stopped in place and observed the ring.
Before long, the figure of Mu Lian who was translucent gradually became clearer. His hair and clothes fluttered like the wind.
"Lian jiejie!"
"Xiaohua's? The xiaobao? What's up?" mu Lian said in astonishment. His feet are completely out of control.
"Oh, the story is long! Make us dizzy!" xiaobao said scratching his head violently. Xiaohua shook his head.
Mu Lian operated the controls to take him to the edge of the pool, after Mu Lian landed on the edge of the pool and sat down next to Xiaohua and Xiaobao, then both of them recounted the incident last night.
From Xiaohua and Xiaobao's story, Mu Lian heard that the young master insisted on looking for his comrades.
Indeed yesterday morning, it was Mu Lian's part to take care of the young master, the young master had already expressed his intention to look for his comrades.
But Mu Lian did not dare to allow the young master to leave because Mu Haocun had advised him to take care of the young master until his condition was more stable.
Mu Lian did not expect that the young master would continue to refer to Xiaohua and Xiaobao when he was not there to keep an eye on.
"Where is the young master now?" ask Mu Lian.
"Fearing that he had run away (let alone that he had not paid for his treatment) we drove him to the North Meeting House. There's Mei jiejie and the other kids" Xiaohua said.
Xiaohua deliberately said certain sentences in a whisper to hide his true intentions.
"Ah, smart kid. Then, we go to the North Meeting House only," Mu Lian said.
Mu Lian, Xiaohua, and Xiaobao headed towards the North Meeting House. When they arrived, the atmosphere was so quiet that if Mu Lian did not feel the chi around her, Mu Lian thought there was no one in the building.
Mu Lian observed the children sitting away from a young man. The kids look alert.
Mu Lian understood that the children were uncomfortable and wary of strangers after going through a terrible event in their village.
It was fortunate that Mu Haocun gave the sky-blue change of clothes to the young master. Otherwise, maybe the children will panic to see the young man dressed all in black.
"Good morning young master. How are you doing?" said Mu Lian.
"..."
The young master did not return Mu Lian's greeting. Mu Lian saw the young master not carrying the paper and brushes he often used to communicate.
"Did the young master leave your papers and brushes in the room?" said Mu Lian. The young master nodded.
"Oh, how do we communicate? Xiaobao, please bring the young master's paper and brush," Mu Lian said to Xiaobao. Xiaobao nodded then returned to the young master's room with half-running steps.
"Lian'er? Have you come yet? Sit down, let's start the kids' breakfast" Meimei said.
"T-t-wait, Xiaobao hasn't returned yet," Xiaohua said finally venturing into speech.
"Oh? Usually you are always struggling for food, why not take advantage of this situation to have this food alone?" meimei said astonished. Mu Lian smiled amusedly.
"Aish, don't be so, we always start together and finish together," Xiaohua said feeling uneasy. His eyes continued to steal a glance at the young master.
Seeing the young master who did not mind, Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief then helped Mu Lian and Meimei put the dish on the surface of the water.
After Xiaobao returned to pick up the paper and brush, breakfast began. The atmosphere was gripping because the children could not stop worrying about the existence of the young master.
After eating, the little ones watched by the older ones returned to their homes in a hurry.
"Please understand if the children can't stop worrying about your presence, young master," Meimei said.
The young master wrote that he did not mind and asked how the children could be like that.
Meimei told me what happened in Jinan Village. After all, the massacre in such a village was something very big and should be investigated immediately.
The young master continued to ask Meimei questions and Meimei answered the young master's questions patiently.
For two whole hours the young master was informed regarding Master Zhengheng, the seeds of life, dangerous concocting medicines that could affect people's minds, and so on that Mu Lian and the others had already discovered.
Some of the information obtained from Meimei had been heard from Master Zhengheng and his other colleagues, others he had just heard.
And from that information, it can be concluded that the cult of heretics has infiltrated the underworld deep enough to be arbitrary in front of the noses of the council. One more question came up, had the cult of heretics already managed to infiltrate the council?
Seeing that a cult of heretics could do as he pleased in the underworld, the young master was increasingly worried about the safety of his comrades. He also brought up the problem of his colleagues.
"Do you know the whereabouts of the fellows you're looking for?" said Mu Lian.
The young master wrote that there was their hiding place in the capital. The young master was planning to leave last night but because of taking a mysterious medicine, he slept like a dead man.
Mu Lian smiled and praised Xiaohua and Xiaobao's intelligence for the umpteenth time. Mu Lian's movements caught Meimei.
"Ah, that, we did it for the young master's safety as well, I hope you can forgive our sassness," Meimei said.
"Right, you can't just recklessly consider yourself recovered and just walk out.
You don't know how much we struggle to destroy the abyssal substance that's on your arm" Mu Lian shook her head.
The young master was silent when he heard Mu Lian's words. Is correct. There are people who have struggled until their condition improves as it is today.
Mu Lian observed the complex young master's expression, after exchanging glances with Meimei, Mu Lian said,
"Let's just say, how about the young master pinpointing the location of your comrades? For information, I am Xiaoxiao's best friend, a disciple of Master Zhengheng. So the safety of you and your colleagues is very important to me,"
The young master nodded then willingly indicated the location to Mu Lian and Meimei.
It could be said that this girl and the woman before him were people he could trust in the underworld.
Given his condition of not having recovered a hundred percent, the young master did not dare to risk the lives of his comrades.
The young master wrote something on the paper, 'My name is Zhi Yuefeng'. The writing was more pointed out to Mu Lian because Meimei already knew her.
"Ah, greetings, Mr. Zhi Yuefeng," said Mu Lian.
After finishing his tea, Mu Lian took Zhi Yuefeng into the control room. Zhi Yuefeng remained amazed at the sight inside the wagon.
At first Zhi Yuefeng did not believe what Xiaohua and Xiaobao said that he was in the wagon.
But after hearing Mu Lian's explanation of this place, Zhi Yuefeng could only be amazed.
"This is the control room. Please sit here while I control the wagon from there," Mu Lian said.
Zhi Yuefeng sat down at the spot he had been shown while Mu Lian immediately climbed up the reins and headed under the mysterious tree.
His gaze never separated from the mysterious tree and crystal. Although his spiritual energy could not be used yet, Zhi Yuefeng could feel the unusual aura of the two mysterious objects.
When Mu Lian was directly below the two objects, the crystal emitted a bluish glow. The entire surface of the sky mirror was slightly shining and clearly revealed the scene outside the wagon.
Zhi Yuefeng had just realized the specialness of the sky mirror. The young man continued to look at the scene alternating on the surface of the Sky Mirror.
"This is called the Sky Mirror. He was able to show the view from outside the wagon. The young master can start to show me the way," Mu Lian said to Zhi Yuefeng who was still focused on looking at the Sky Mirror.
With the media writing, Zhi Yuefeng led Mu Lian to a mansion in a sparsely populated area. Zhi Yuefeng was surprised when he found the big house was spoiled.
The front gate was destroyed, the walls of the yard and the main street were destroyed, most of the houses looked like partially bitten cakes.
"May jiejie, what happened? Is Mei jiejie able to ask people around what happened to this house?" said Mu Lian communicating with Meimei.
Master Yi did not tell any rumors of a quarrel between the two clans circulating so Mu Lian and the others (other than Ling Zizhou and Meng Zhi) did not know about it.
"Well, I'm going for a minute" Meimei said. His voice echoed throughout the entire control room.
Zhi Yuefeng was curious about how the two communicated but his tongue was twisted because he saw the condition of his hiding place had been destroyed.
A few minutes later Meimei recounted the rumors that were circulating about the mansion. Mu Lian observed Zhi Yuefeng who dissolved in her mind, waiting for her next direction.
If Zhi Yuefeng looked panicked and was about to search for his comrades alone, Mu Lian would intervene to hold him back.
Fortunately Zhi Yuefeng remained acting with a cold head. Zhi Yuefeng told Mu Lian to surround the area once again to look for clues.
Mu Lian circled the area several times, increasing their travel range to a radius of several kilometers, but it remained fruitless.
They took a lunch break first before finally continuing their search. Just when it was late afternoon, there were some suspicious people seen passing by around the house.
It was then that Zhi Yuefeng was convinced that the person who attacked the hideout, was still returning to patrol there, just in case anyone knew of his comrade returning to the house.
Although Zhi Yuefeng was confident that his comrades were meticulous and would not leave any important items in the house, Zhi Yuefeng still asked Mu Lian to stay near the house.
Mu Lian who felt that this matter would get longer in the future, decided to tell Xiaobai that maybe the little boy should sleep alone that night.
...
At night, where everyone returned and focused on their activities in their homes, a figure dressed in all black flashed under the light of the star tapestry.
Although the surrounding light should be able to leak its existence, strangely, the figure passed unnoticed among pedestrians who were about to return to their respective homes.
The figure was surrounded by a layer of fog, making it appear blurry and difficult to recognize from a distance. His shadow leapt among the roofs of the adjacent houses and continued to run non-stop towards the sparsely populated areas.
[Because of you, everything's falling apart! Brother Gu has to face them alone, for what sake? For us! B! Www*wrong is useless!]
[You left a shadow swordsman stamp?! Goody! It seems you don't want to live anymore! This is the biggest mistake you've ever made! You leaked our identity to the enemy!]
[Just kill you!]
[S*mp*h is useless!]
No time passed and the young man arrived not far from the big house that has now been ravaged.
The young man was distracted and accidentally slipped a pebble when he landed on the ground.
The nurse who could blend into the surroundings, was destroyed as soon as the young man fell down. His figure was clearly visible, ragged clothes, dry blood on his hands and feet.
His face was covered with wounds and without cover, showing his battered young face. Tired and fear emanated from his eyes.
"Great.." said the young man. He was observing his surroundings which suddenly felt increasingly gripping. This depressed feeling, someone was targeting him.
Sure enough, a few people waiting in the shadows of the building and acacia tree, appeared and pounced on the young man.
A sharp weapon with a reddish black glow and a hint of disgusting liquid on the entire surface of the weapon was unsheathed towards the young man's neck.
When death was already in front of his eyes, the young man felt that time was running very slowly and he saw those deadly weapons eyeing his neck in slow motion.
"I'm sorry, I'm so useless, young master," said the young man closing his eyes.
His body was weak and unable to move. All the chi left in his dantian has been used on the style that he has been proud of. After he activated the skill, no one could know of its existence.
But what does his pride mean at this time, death is soon to pick up and he can not hear the praise of the young master anymore.
Trang!
The young man's eyes widened when he heard the sound of metal clashing. There was someone in front of him who was fighting with five people who were about to kill him.
"Cih, basic j*l*ng," said one of the people.
"Hmphs. As always, you guys use that disgusting substance. I'm sick of seeing it, so I'm gonna finish you off!" said a woman.
Her voice was very clear and beautiful just like it was but not with the deadly attacks that the woman had launched.
"Am I dead?" said the young man dumbfounded. The young man thought that he was being picked up by an angel.
