At first, they verbally teased Ye Jiusheng's mother, but as they saw that she silently endured it, the men's malice grew stronger.
Ye Jiusheng was still wondering why the villagers were suddenly buying him things and letting him go out to play. Later, Ye Jiusheng secretly returned home from outside and found out what these beasts had done.
However, Ye Jiusheng, who was only thirteen years old, was no match for a group of strong and healthy villagers. He could only watch helplessly as his mother was abused.
After the group finished, Ye Jiusheng wanted to leave with his mother, but then the group's wives rushed into the house and beat his mother to death in front of him.
Afterwards, Ye Jiusheng's mind became twisted, and he secretly hid in the village, poisoning the well that everyone in the village needed to drink water.
About half of the village's 300 residents died, and those who survived lived in even more agony than the dead.
Then Ye Jiusheng was on the run. While begging on the street, the female lead gave Ye Jiusheng a bag of steamed buns and a hundred taels of silver.
Ye Jiusheng used this money to make a fortune and supported many secret guards who would risk their lives for him. He was ruthless and vicious, making people hate him to the core.
She almost killed the male lead, but Ye Jiusheng, remembering the female lead's kindness, softened and let him go, only to be killed by the male lead in the end.
"I am Ning Mu, a disciple of the Tai Chi Sect. If you don't want to die, release him!"
The scarred man frowned slightly. He knew the reputation of the five major sects. It wasn't worth risking their lives for a mere brat. "Heroine Ning, you are magnanimous. We will leave now."
Ning Mu gave a haughty snort and watched the group leave with a cold eye.
Shen Su affectionately patted Ning Mu's head, thinking how innocent and kind Mu Mu was.
Ning Mu walked up to Ye Jiusheng, her bright eyes scrutinizing him, which made Ye Jiusheng's eyes darken slightly.
"Kid, I saved your life."
"Thank you, Lady Ning!" Ye Jiusheng smiled obsequiously, but his wariness of Ning Mu only increased.
This person's gaze was strange; it was a mixture of curiosity, pity, and admiration as he looked at him.
He could understand feeling sorry for him, but he really didn't know what was so interesting about his thin, sallow body that would pique the curiosity of the person in front of him, let alone make them admire him.
Ning Mu laughed heartily, her slender white hands helping Ye Jiusheng to his feet. "Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you. Are you hungry? I'll treat you to something. Don't be afraid they'll hurt you; with me here, they won't dare do anything to you!"
Ye Jiusheng suppressed his suspicions and maintained his fawning smile. "I've already eaten, so I won't bother you two any longer!"
have eaten?
Ning Mu pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Jiusheng with pity. He was probably fighting with those beggars for food. Sure enough, villains have such miserable childhoods. No wonder villains become extreme in the future.
"I'm serious. Here's what we'll do: take this jade token. If you need anything in the future, come find me at the Taiji Sect. Also, take good care of this bag of money so it doesn't get stolen."
Shen Su frowned slightly, his cold gaze sweeping over Ye Jiusheng. How could this person have stolen so much of Mu Mu's attention?
Ye Jiusheng was very sensitive to danger and instantly noticed the displeasure of the man next to Ning Mu. He also felt a bit impatient with this inexplicable woman. "No need, thank you."
Ye Jiusheng refused so decisively that Ning Mu didn't even have time to react. Seeing that Ye Jiusheng was about to leave, she had no choice but to forcefully stuff the jade pendant into Ye Jiusheng's arms, saying, "At least with this, no one will bully you in the future."
"Just take it if Mu Mu tells you to."
Shen Su's voice, like his personality, was so cold that it had no warmth whatsoever.
Ye Jiusheng pursed his lips, gripped the jade token in his hand, and timidly thanked them, "Thank you, I'll be going now!"
