Inside the newly built school in Qingcheng, a group of children were playing around.
Master Liu frowned as soon as he walked in: "The disappearance of so many people at once will definitely cause chaos. You'll have to explain yourself when you go to the capital!"
“Senior brother, if we keep looking back and forth like this, when will we ever be able to truly complete our mission? Only by quickly collecting all the luck here can we go back to report in time and then head to the next city!” Kong Yi subconsciously licked his lips.
Master Liu flicked his sleeves, gave a cold snort, and turned to enter through the side door.
He made his way through a maze of turns to a room and carefully locked the door.
Inside this room were, of course, Zhong Yan and the others, who were bound and gagged.
"Master, Master, I'm here!" Old Master Huai, with his beer belly protruding, ran over, panting.
"You arrived quite quickly." Master Liu looked up at him.
"Although you've only raised this little girl for three years, it's barely enough, it just takes a little more time."
"Master, as long as you can switch this brat's fate to my son's, I'll do anything you ask!" Old Master Huai patted his chest and promised.
"It's really cold-blooded and ruthless, but it's quite useful." Master Liu waved his hand casually, and a bronze toad appeared out of thin air, floating in mid-air.
The toad took up most of the room, forcing everyone to squeeze into a corner.
"Since you and your child have such a deep father-son bond, then offer yourself up and let the immortal devour you." Master Liu waved his sleeve.
Upon hearing this, Master Huai subconsciously took a few steps back: "Master, didn't you say before that only that brat needed to suffer the pain of being pierced by ten thousand arrows? Why do I also need to die?"
Master Liu: "Of course I need you as my adoptive father. What, you don't want to?"
Master Huai retreated desperately: "Master, it's all a misunderstanding. It's fine if we don't change this fate, it's fine if we don't change it!"
"You can be generous to others, but you can't do it yourself? That's not up to you!"
His long, gray-black hair was tied up like a rice dumpling and thrown into the mouth of a bronze-colored toad.
Amidst a series of screams, the toad, half the size of the room, swallowed hard and looked at the other people in the room.
"Don't rush, little girls, it's your turn now."
Master Liu's pupils contracted slightly as he bound the remaining people.
"Hand over your luck obediently, and you might just be lucky enough to save your lives."
"Damn it, who is it?" Master Liu turned around abruptly and found a boy who had appeared behind him at some point. The boy was holding a dagger and stabbed it into his back.
The next second, the boy was thrown back and slammed hard against the wall, coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
He didn't have time to pay attention to the boy, because he felt the dagger on his back start moving on its own, tearing at his flesh and causing excruciating pain.
This was naturally Huai Chan secretly controlling the dagger. While the boy was stabbing the dagger in, she manipulated the surrounding air and spun the dagger around.
Even so, Master Liu didn't cry out in pain. Instead, he suddenly drew his dagger and laughed heartily.
"Look what I see! The little guy who ran away half a month ago has come back. And you two are both extraordinary people who have awakened your abilities. No wonder you have such strong luck on you."
"Heaven has been kind to me, allowing me to meet three people with great fortune in just one day."
"Since that's the case, then all of you go inside and let the Great Immortal refine you!"
"Don't rush, take it one at a time, you'll all have your chance to shine!"
On the other side of the school, cries for help from a group of children could also be heard.
Outside the mansion, a group of yamen runners and constables had already surrounded the area.
“Your Excellency, are we just going to stand by and watch those two people run amok and harm all the children of Qingcheng?” Master Song sighed repeatedly as he saw the situation.
Magistrate Wu's lips trembled; he didn't want to either!
But those two were extraordinary individuals, and they carried evil spirits with them. Each of them had the help of a ghostly toad. Even if the entire county government rushed up, they couldn't defeat them!
"Your Honor, my heart is pounding! Could you let us in to see the child? I feel like he's calling me!" A woman in a padded jacket and skirt ran over through the heavy snow, and despite slipping and falling several times, she struggled to get up again.
Before long, more and more people rushed over, all clamoring to go inside and look for their children.
"Master, what exactly happened? How did these people find out? Don't tell me, their hearts are pounding!"
Magistrate Wu was dumbfounded as he watched the ever-growing crowd.
"Your Excellency, I don't know either! Did they really see that they were connected with the children and sensed the crisis here?" The clerk stroked his beard, equally puzzled.
Unbeknownst to these people, several men dressed in fur cloaks had secretly slipped past, hiding behind them and anxiously looking towards the school.
"We've listened to the boss and Miss Yan and brought all these people here. Do you think they can escape successfully?"
"Of course it will! Our boss brought the mountain god wood carving with him, so everything will be fine!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, golden light burst forth from the direction of the school, spreading outwards like ripples.
A creaking sound echoed inside the school. Just as everyone was filled with anxiety, the roofs of several buildings at the back of the school were suddenly ripped open by a powerful force, and the child, radiating golden light, floated in mid-air.
The endless snowstorm stopped, the dark clouds that had lingered for days finally dispersed, and the bright sunshine shone down on the earth and onto the dilapidated school.
Above the school, the girl floating in the air slowly opened her pair of radiant golden eyes.
With just one glance, everyone seemed to stop breathing.
