"Thank you, Grandpa Sang, for giving us a place to stay. My name is Mu Xuan, and we can take care of ourselves. We won't cause any trouble for Grandpa Sang." Mu Xuan said.
He had originally gone to Mu'nanfudu to seek refuge with his family. After his mother's death, she had told him to go there. Unable to protect himself with his meager fourth-level Qi Refining cultivation, he had no choice but to follow his fellow villagers. He happened to encounter the human trafficker, whose cultivation was higher than his. He was unable to defeat him and was eventually captured.
"This child is sensible and good at talking. You are their leader, right? I think those children all listen to you." Father Sang saw Mu Xuan's leadership.
"Yes, I have some skills, but they are just ordinary children." Mu Xuan did not shy away from it and admitted it directly.
"Okay, I'll leave these children to you from now on. Alas, they are all poor children." Old Man Sang sighed. If it weren't for this world, these children would still be enjoying the care of their parents.
Sang Jin was truly sleepy. Her small body had been tense for most of the night. Now she had reached her limit. As soon as she got into the carriage, she fell asleep in Zi Shufen's arms. Little Sang Wang slept on Zi Shufen's other side.
Holding her two children, she felt a sense of contentment. The family was safe and sound together. Even though they were still as poor as before, she was happy.
Sang Yu woke up and prepared to help Second Aunt with breakfast. Instead, she saw a strange boy with a group of children helping to set up the table. This table was bought by her younger sister in the city. They always set up the table before having a meal.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Sang Yu was wary. These kids didn't look like good people. They must be trying to get some food from them. Her mother, always kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see these kids go hungry.
"We were rescued by Miss Sang Jin. We have no ill intentions." A little girl wearing patched clothes explained. She looked only six or seven years old.
"With so many children, what did my little sister do?" Sang Yu muttered.
"Miss Sang Jin is so amazing. She crippled the bad guy's martial arts and cut off his tongue. Together with a young man, she helped rescue us. But why can't we see that young man?" said the girl who had been crying in the tree house.
"Are you Miss Sang Jin's brother? Are you also very powerful?" Soon several children surrounded Sang Yu.
"Of course, I'm very powerful too. I can defeat a monster by myself. I can also cook. When my mother is not at home, I cook for my younger sister..." Sang Yu also started chatting with the group of children.
Only Mu Xuan and a few older children went to find some firewood. He was surprised to find that the Sang family had a space ring. This Sang family seemed to be somewhat unusual. Most people couldn't afford a space ring.
The Sang family had taken their entire village on a famine spree, heading to the same destination as him. He'd just tag along, so he could have someone to look after him. He had to stay.
According to his calculations, it was very likely that Zhoujia Village would encounter the same refugee group he had been in tomorrow, and those children would return to their families.
The capital of Munan Prefecture, the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Waste! You can't even take care of a weak kid. What's the point of me raising you!" A gorgeously dressed woman slammed the table twice and started scolding the two cultivators.
"If eldest brother's people find him first, our Yu'er will lose his position as the young city lord." The woman changed her tone and spoke to a young man next to her.
"I know about this, but the person is missing now. What else can we do? There's nothing you can do about it, ma'am. Go keep looking!" The man who spoke was the second master of the Mu family, Mu Shigong. He was twenty-eight years old, and the woman who had just slammed the table was his wife, Wang. They had a son named Mu Yu.
He placed spies in his eldest brother's yard and learned that his eldest brother had a illegitimate son who was still alive.
He would help eliminate anyone who stood in the way of his Yu'er. Sooner or later, the Mu family would belong to him, Mu Shigong.
Munan Prefecture City is significantly larger than Yansha City. The city magistrate oversees immortal cultivators, while the county magistrate oversees mortals. The current city lord is Mu Shigong's eldest brother, Mu Shizhong. He is thirty years old and has a son and a daughter. His eight-year-old son tragically passed away earlier this year, leaving behind only a daughter, Mu Ting.
"Then let's find it first. I'm going to make some pork elbow for my son Yu'er. He must be hungry after his nap." The woman said, and then she walked out of the house and headed straight for the kitchen.
Mu Shigong continued to meditate and began to retreat. This time he was determined to break through the Golden Core Stage.
forest.
Two days had passed since Sang Jin rescued the children. The woods were completely deserted. They hadn't seen any water sources along the way. The people of Zhoujia Village were very frugal with their water.
"Hehe. Go up to the sky and see if there's any water nearby. My dad's space ring is running low." There was water in Sang Jin's secret realm, but the spiritual energy in that water was too pure. If an ordinary person consumed too much, their body wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Yeah." Li Jingyu flew into the air and searched for the nearest water source nearby.
"Xiao Jin, there is a lake on the top of the mountain where we are."
"Then take me upstairs later. I'll go get the buckets and basins from my father's space ring." Sang Jin said.
"Then I'll wait for you here." Li Jingyu pointed to the spot.
Sang Jin quickly brought all the empty buckets and basins from Sang Mu and Old Man Sang. Li Jingyu brought her to the top of the mountain in no time.
Sang Jin quickly took out a bucket and basin for water. Bai Ling controlled the water to flow into the bucket, and soon both the bucket and basin were full.
"Xiaobai, you are really good. You can use the ability to control water in this way." Sang Jin praised Bai Ling.
"Master, you praised me. I like it so much." A childish voice similar to hers came into Sang Jin's mind.
After Bai Ling successfully made a contract with Sang Jin, she became her contracted beast, able to communicate with her mind.
"Are you Bai Ling? Can you speak from now on?"
"Yes, Master."
"I'll take you to a good place where you can practice. Call me when you want to come out. A month there is only one day in the outside world." Sang Jin said to Bai Ling in her heart.
"Okay, Bai Ling will listen to the master."
After Bai Ling finished its work, Sang Jin threw it into the secret realm in front of Li Jingyu.
"Hey, why is there a little puppy here? Girl, you have a pet." Old Li shouted in the secret realm.
"Mr. Li, take a closer look. I told you that your eyesight is poor. You still don't believe it." Sang Jin said in her heart angrily.
