She didn't want her daughter to suffer under the warlords, but she had no choice. She knew about the situation outside, and in such a world, the two of them couldn't survive on their own!
Moreover, she trusted the warlords of Nancheng, just as she had trusted the soldiers of the past; they were her last source of spiritual solace.
However, she had no idea that the warlords had changed their nature.
"Mom!" Xiao Xin looked at Li Xiang with deep emotion.
"Sweetie, Mom will send you to the army camp to report for duty tomorrow!" Li Xiang hugged Xiao Xin, her whole body trembling slightly from her soft sobs.
She couldn't bear to part with her daughter either. Xiao Xin was only eight years old, an age when she needed her mother's love the most. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to send her daughter to the military camp, but she had no choice...
Just then, Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan climbed over the wall and came in.
"You've become bad! I already told you I was going to climb over the wall to open the door, why did you follow me in!"
"Why can you bypass the Great Firewall but I can't!"
"You're a woman, what if you wear a skirt?"
"But I'm not wearing any clothes right now!"
The two had just escaped a life-or-death chase, but because the gate to Li Xiang's courtyard was closed, Jiang Yuan suggested climbing over the wall so as not to disturb Li Xiang and Xiao Xin. However, Ning Yanlan insisted on dragging him along to climb over the wall with her.
That's why we saw what just happened.
"Mom, it's Brother Jiang Yuan and Sister Yan Lan!"
Xiao Xin, who was just unhappy, suddenly burst into laughter, while Li Xiang wiped away her tears and pretended to be nonchalant.
"Xiao Xin!"
Ning Yanlan squealed as she entered the room, picked up Xiao Xin with a sweet hug, and then asked affectionately, "Did you learn anything with Mommy today?"
"I didn't study today!" Xiao Xin pouted, and just as she was about to say something, Li Xiang walked over and asked, "Have you two eaten?"
Ning Yanlan gave an awkward smile; the two of them had been fighting so much that they hadn't had a chance to eat.
"Huh, why is there electricity today?" Jiang Yuan immediately noticed the electric light in the room. All they had seen along the way was candlelight, and only Li Xiang's house had electricity.
Li Xiang looked troubled, but after hesitating for a moment, she said, "This morning, the warlord of Nancheng sent a silent generator and fuel, saying that I should consider Xiao Xin's whereabouts!"
"This!" Ning Yanlan knew that the warlord from Nancheng had come here in the morning, but she did not expect him to act so quickly, even providing generators and fuel.
"Yanlan, I want to send Xiaoxin to the warlord!" Li Xiang said firmly.
"You've made a decision so quickly?" Ning Yanlan was extremely surprised.
“I don’t want Xiaoxin to leave either, but the world is changing too fast. I can’t let Xiaoxin lose at the starting line!” Li Xiang sighed.
Ning Yanlan looked at Jiang Yuan, as if asking him to make a decision.
"Sister Li, there's really no need to rush!" Jiang Yuan said to Li Xiang. "By the way, Yanlan, didn't you have a gift for Xiaoxin?"
"Oh, right, right, right!" Ning Yanlan immediately took out a black bead from her storage ring. "Xiao Xin, squeeze this bead hard!"
"Me?" Xiao Xin was confused, but she still took the beads.
"Yanlan, don't give valuable things to children!" Li Xiang immediately stopped her.
Just as Li Xiang was about to ask Xiao Xin to take out the bead, Xiao Xin had already crushed it.
"Sister Yanlan, why did the bead break?" Xiaoxin was a little panicked because Sister Yanlan only told her to squeeze it hard, but she didn't expect that the bead would break without her even using much force. She subconsciously thought that she had made a mistake.
"Xiao Xin, close your eyes and feel what surprises your little head has!" Ning Yanlan patted Xiao Xin's head. Although Xiao Xin's head had been shaved off by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, she was still wearing a baseball cap of the same style as hers and was still very cute.
"Oh!" Xiao Xin obediently closed her eyes, and then a strange expression appeared on her little face.
Li Xiang was also curious when she saw this scene, because children don't deliberately hide their expressions, and Xiao Xin's performance just now was enough to prove the magic of that black bead.
"Yanlan, what is that?" Li Xiang asked again.
"A suitable cultivation technique for Xiao Xin is Jiang Yuan's..."
"Um?"
Ning Yanlan was about to say that it was a gift from Jiang Yuan, but a look from Jiang Yuan made her change her mind, "It was a gift that Jiang Yuan and I gave to Xiao Xin together!"
Jiang Yuan was furious. He thought, "When I shared the core with you before, you said I was drawing boundaries. Now you're doing the same thing. We both made mistakes, so why should I admit it?"
"You seem to have a problem with me!" Ning Yanlan said to Jiang Yuan with her soul ring during a break from replying.
"How could that be? I wouldn't even dare to offer a suggestion, let alone an opinion!" Jiang Yuan replied.
