C1716 Shedding of cicada
"Good, at least you have eyes. I'm happy today, so I'll let you go. Let's go." With that, the Golden Descendant happily led his group of servants away.1
Looking at the back of the Golden Descendant, Qi Tianyu snickered in his heart. This secret treasure was a ticking time bomb, it was not appropriate for him to bring it with him in the end. He had originally wanted to find a place to dispose of it.
When Golden Descendant came over to find Qi Tianyu a while ago, everyone kept their distance, afraid that they would cause trouble for themselves. Only the little girl and her mother stood behind Qi Tianyu timidly. They knew that Qi Tianyu had offended the Second Descendant because of them, but they were too scared to speak.
"Thank you benefactor for saving my life. This little girl is unable to repay you. Today, you are willing to part with your love, and we are willing to do anything for you." Seeing that Qi Tianyu had been robbed by the Golden Descendant, the woman panicked and quickly pulled her daughter down to her knees.
She knew that treasures that could make the eyes of people like the Golden Descendant shine were definitely not ordinary. Ever since her husband left, her family had lost their pillar of support. Her daughter was still young, so she could only sell some vegetables to support her livelihood. She never thought that something like this would happen today. Right now, her family was in ruins, and there was nothing she could pay for it. If it really doesn't work, then I'll be a servant and repay my benefactor.
"Hurry, please get up. I was just passing by. If anyone else encounters this kind of situation, they will also take action." "No need to thank me. It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning at all." Qi Tianyu hurriedly helped them up.
Seeing that Qi Tianyu did not want their compensation, the mother and daughter pair repeatedly invited Qi Tianyu to their homes for a light, simple meal. Qi Tianyu also couldn't force them, and coincidentally, he was also tired and hungry, so he followed them.
Along the way, Qi Tianyu learned their names, and also understood their plight. The woman was called Li Bao Lian and her husband was called Wang Lin. They had a cute daughter who was saved by Qi Tianyu today, who was called Wang Ling'er. Their home was in the slums to the east of the city.
There were three houses in sight, some of them years old, the marks of age clearly visible, some of them broken, some of them with big holes in the roof. It was raining heavily outside, a wooden basin was filled with rain, and the mother and daughter hid in a corner of the run-down house and sobbed.
Qi Tianyu was pulled into the house by the little girl, and sat on the chair. Looking around, although they did not have much furniture, they were still quite clean.
"Benefactor, please have some tea," Li Baolian quickly and enthusiastically poured a cup of cold tea for Qi Tianyu.
"Thank you," Qi Tianyu took the tea and gulped it down. He was too thirsty, he had entered the city just to find a place to rest, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing?
In the afternoon, Li Baolian cooked a few dishes for Qi Tianyu. Although they were all ordinary dishes, her cooking skills were not bad, and Qi Tianyu was satisfied. Ling'er was also very happy, it had been a long time since her family had a guest.
After dinner, Qi Tianyu asked Li Baolian what happened to his husband. How did he disappear? Qi Tianyu wanted to help them find Wang Lin. It was not easy for a woman to pull a little girl. There were no men, and no one could repair the house if it was leaked.
Mentioning Wang Lin, Li Baolian's face darkened, because without the man, she had suffered a lot.
This story starts from one year ago. Wang Lin is also a cultivator and one of the guards at the city lord's mansion. Normally, he gets along quite well with the city lord's mansion." However, one night, when he was on a mission, something unexpected happened. A group of guards went out on a mission. The others returned, but he did not return. She also went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask, everyone said that they were swept away by a black wind, it should be something unclean. I begged the City Lord to go and search. At the beginning, the City Lord sent people to search, but there was no result. In the end, I left it at that.
Having lost her pillar of support, her house was taken over by the man's brother, and the two of them were thrown out. Having nowhere to go, they had no choice but to live on the streets. Later on, they met a kind-hearted person who gave them some silver coins. Only then did they buy three run-down houses. The days passed one by one just like that. Wang Lin had dimmed in her heart, and she no longer placed his hopes on Wang Lin to come back, she had to rely on himself, and take his daughter to sell vegetables on the streets for a living.
"Hei Feng? What's that, an evil cultivator? " Qi Tianyu listened to it seriously and suddenly asked.
"I don't know either. This is the answer given by the City Lord Palace." Li Baolian felt that she had lost control of herself and quickly wiped her tears away.
"En, it seems like Brother Wang is in trouble, please restrain your grief." Qi Tianyu thought about how evil cultivators were usually cruel and merciless, the people they captured would all die a miserable death.
"Don't worry, we are already used to it." Li Baolian forced out a smile.
"Big Brother Tianyu, I want to be as strong as you. That way, I can protect Mom and beat away those bad people. Let's see if they still dare to bully us." The little eyes of the naive Ling'er was filled with determination.
"Ling'er, don't fight everyday at a girl's house. Hurry and help mom wash the dishes." Li Baolian said angrily. There was already an unknown immortal cultivator at home, so she didn't want her daughter to cultivate. She wanted her daughter to live a normal life, and even if it would be a bit tough, it would still be safe.
"It's fine. You don't give in to heroism? gave Ling'er a big thumbs up. Ling'er was a sensible child, she saw her mother being bullied. Her little heart had already been planted with the desire to become stronger. She wanted to cultivate to become an immortal not to kill, but to protect someone important to her. This was very similar to her own.
Before arriving here, Qi Tianyu had already made the decision to bring the mother and daughter pair away. This was because they had come into contact with him now. At that time, the people from Blood Sect would definitely investigate their situation and ask them for his whereabouts.
He did not think that the people from the Blood Sect would be stupid enough to think that it was all done by the Golden Descendant, just in case he was exposed. It would definitely involve them, and it would be a disaster for them. Li Baolian and the others did not have any cultivation, but were just ordinary people. When facing Blood Sect, they had no power to resist, so for their safety, they were simply brought away.
However, he still had to try to get their opinion. If he wanted to ask them out, he would have to explain himself. There were so many people on the streets, and he was afraid that it might bring trouble.
