"Madam, is it really okay to leave Senior Sister Su Xin there alone?"

Qin Gengyun followed Qiu Zhihe into Liu Dashu's yard, looked back at Su Xin in the distance, and couldn't help but say to Qiu Zhihe.

After all, Su Xin almost went insane just now. If she were to face such a difficult decision alone, her mind would probably become unstable again.

Qiu Zhihe said calmly: "Zhenyang Sect claims to be the leader of the righteous path. I want to see what she will do. If you are worried about her, go back and help her."

The sour taste in the last sentence was about to overflow. Qin Gengyun suddenly dared not speak and followed his wife silently.

"My uncle is really obedient."

Liusu at the back covered her mouth and chuckled, while the Phoenix bird grunted, expressing shock that Xia Qinglian was actually a jealous person.

Noila Mo thought for a moment and whispered, “I’d better go back and accompany Senior Sister Su Xin.”

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Su Xin and the group of villagers.

She was neither a member of the Qinglian Sect nor a member of the Zhenyang Sect. She acted according to her heart. Su Xin was not a bad person and had saved them before, so Mo Xiaolan was willing to help her.

Liusu shook her head: "Sister Xiaolan is just too soft-hearted."

The phoenix cooed again, and Liusu patted her head: "Why are you cooing? Speak human language."

The phoenix was furious: "Don't touch my head!"

Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe had already entered the Liu family's house. Qin Gengyun's spiritual sense probed out and quickly found the location of the cellar, which was under a dry well in the backyard.

Too lazy to dig, Qin Gengyun turned into a flesh-and-blood pile driver and punched a deep pit in the ground with a few punches, revealing a group of imprisoned women below.

Most of them are young girls, including a few little girls around five or six years old.

Because they have not seen the sun for many years, they all have pale faces and dull expressions.

Seeing Qin Gengyun's muscles like iron, the girls were horrified:

"Master, don't kill me, don't kill me, wuwuwu!"

They thought Qin Gengyun was from the Tianyun Sect. Qiu Zhihe stepped forward, squatted down, and stretched out her hand to them:

"We are here to rescue you, don't be afraid."

Her voice was unusually gentle. The girls were startled, and finally someone reached out a trembling hand and held Qiu Zhihe's hand.

Qiu Zhihe pulled her up, and then rescued the girls who were trapped underground one by one.

Liusu and Phoenix stood aside and watched. Liusu said with a smile:

"Miss, you can use your spiritual power to bring them all up at once, but you have to go through so much trouble to save them one by one. Do you know why?"

"Gu?"

"Because these girls are afraid of monks, and Miss doesn't want to scare them."

“Gu??”

The phoenix looked confused.

Is Xia Qinglian so gentle?

Why did you hit me so hard?

After pulling the last girl up, Qiu Zhihe paused.

"My wife?"

Qin Gengyun squatted down, followed Qiu Zhihe's gaze and looked towards the cellar, and was immediately stunned.

There were more than a dozen skeletons scattered deep in the cellar, some of which were very small, obviously belonging to children.

"They...tried to escape, but were beaten to death by the village chief."

A hoarse voice came from behind them. The two turned around and saw a disheveled girl looking at them timidly.

Her face was all dirty and black, only her big, lively eyes were sparkling with a soft, shimmering light.

Qiu Zhihe stood up silently: "Liu Dashu has been killed by me, you are free."

The girls looked at each other, but their faces did not show the joy they had imagined. Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly:

"What's wrong?"

The girl with lively eyes knelt down, her voice choked with sobs: "Fairy, Immortal Master, even if we escape from the village, we will be caught by the immortals of Tianyun Mountain. We... have nowhere to go."

"That's your business."

Qiu Zhihe snorted coldly and turned to leave, but she felt her feet being held by a pair of small hands. The girl with big eyes looked up at Qiu Zhihe and begged:

"Fairy, please show us the way."

Qiu Zhihe smiled: "You don't ask me to take you away, but just ask me to show you the way?"

The girl's face was covered in dirt and black, and only in her lively eyes could one see a glimmer of life:

"It is a great favor that the fairy can save us. We dare not ask for more. But if we are captured by the fairy Tianyun, wouldn't it be a waste of the fairy's painstaking efforts to save us?"

Qiu Zhihe looked down at her with a playful look in his eyes: "You are very brave, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The girl knelt on the ground with her forehead touching the ground: "My life was saved by the fairy, I am willing to die for the fairy."

Qiu Zhihe asked, "What's your name?"

The girl raised her head, brushed away the messy hair from her face, wiped her dirty cheeks, revealing her beautiful features:

"My name is Liu Xiaotang."

"Xiaotang..." Qiu Zhihe was slightly startled and said with a smile: "What a nice name."

She turned to look at the Phoenix Bird: "These are all women, how about sending them to your Tianhuang Mountain?"

The phoenix flapped its wings twice and cooed twice. Qiu Zhihe raised her hand and a magic circle enveloped the girls, carrying them to the back of the phoenix.

These women were petite and huddled together, and could fit perfectly on the phoenix's back. They were protected and fixed by a magic circle, so there was no need to worry about them falling.

Qiu Zhihe said to the Phoenix Bird, "Send them to Tianhuang Mountain and settle them down. It's best not to delay... In three days, you will need my husband's essence baptism."

The phoenix bird cooed angrily, but finally lowered its noble head, flapped its wings, and was about to fly away when the girl named Liu Xiaotang suddenly said:

"Fairy, can I follow you?"

Qiu Zhihe glanced at her and said, "I don't need any burden."

Liu Xiaotang gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her bright eyes: "I, I can do a lot of things, I will never drag you down!"

Qiu Zhihe sneered: "You just don't want to be slaughtered anymore, you want to practice with me, right?"

Liu Xiaotang was stunned, obviously what he was thinking hit the nail on the head.

Qiu Zhihe waved his hand and pulled Liu Xiaotang out of the magic circle, then turned and walked out of the Liu family yard.

The others followed her and left, and the phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Liu Xiaotang was the only one left in the yard. She was stunned for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on her face, and she stumbled out to chase after him.

Qiu Zhihe and others returned to where the villagers gathered, but Su Xin was still hesitant and unable to make a decision.

She naturally couldn't bear to kill these people, but she also knew that if she left them to fend for themselves, they would eventually be killed by the Tianyun Sect.

But it is impossible for him to bring so many people back to Zhenyang Sect, that is even more unrealistic.

Su Xin was stuck in a dilemma.

Liu Xiaotang ran over and stood silently beside Qiu Zhihe. The villagers were stunned when they saw her. One of the men shouted excitedly:

"Xiaotang, Xiaotang, my daughter! Please beg this fairy to spare us!"

Several people looked at Liu Xiaotang in astonishment, and Qiu Zhihe asked:

"Is this your father?"

Liu Xiaotang's face turned pale and he nodded silently.

Qin Gengyun couldn't bear it and asked softly, "Where's your mother?"

Liu Xiaotang bit her lip and said in a sad voice: "My mother wanted to save me, but my father...beat her to death."
