C6 Mu Linger

"Haha, you actually have this much money?" "It seems like that kid is also a rich kid." From the looks of it, it was the person who had bumped into Fang Yi earlier. At this moment, he had put his hair behind him, and only then was he able to see his true appearance. It was actually a girl.

"What is in this bag?" Putting away the money bag, the person turned his bright eyes towards another bag.

Unexpectedly, however, no matter how much the girl tugged at the bag, the bag could not be opened.

"Could it be that this is an Immortal treasure, the legendary bag of holding?!" The girl looked to be extremely poor and extremely young, yet she was able to guess that this bag was the cultivator's storage pouch. It was truly unbelievable.

"What is the background of that man? How could he possess an immortal's storage pouch?" The girl lowered her head in thought. The fact that she was able to live by herself until now was enough to prove that she wasn't a reckless and innocent child.

"Pah ~ Pah ~"

"

Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard in the quiet alleyway. The little girl, who was lost in thought, was startled awake. She quickly put her storage bag on her waist and looked up at the same time.

"It's you?!"

"It's you!"

The little girl and the person called out at the same time. The person who came was none other than Fang Yi.

"You thief, give me back my things!" Fang Yi's face turned red as he shouted angrily at the little girl in front of him.

"This is yours?" The little girl held the storage pouch in her hand and stared at Fang Yi with a slightly unfriendly expression. If someone didn't know what was going on, they would have thought that Fang Yi had stolen something from her.

"Of course, do you want to deny it?" Fang Yi tried his best to calm his heart down, but the indignation in his heart still couldn't be wiped away.

"Abominable cultivator!" The little girl glared viciously at Fang Yi and leapt up, leaping off the walls of the alleyway as she sped off into the distance like a swallow.

"Stop!" When Fang Yi saw that the little girl wanted to escape, he let out a low growl and immediately activated his Divine Path to chase after her.

The two of them chased one after the other. Their galloping figures were like dancers in the wind. Their speed was so fast that ordinary martial arts experts would sigh at their own inferiority.

"What a fast speed!" "He's actually faster than my Divine Traversal Technique by a few points. If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Fang Yi continued to chase from behind, but he was unable to catch up to his opponent. On the contrary, he was gradually being chased further and further away. He couldn't help but become anxious.

"Damned Cultivator, damnable Cultivator …." The little girl's eyes were bloodshot as she cursed in a low voice, but her footsteps did not stop. Fang Yi had disappeared without a trace behind her.

Suddenly, the little girl felt her feet tighten, and then she lost her balance. She felt a wave of dizziness, and when she regained her senses, she was already hanging from a big tree.

Soon after, three men walked out from the forest on both sides of the road. They held swords and sabers in their hands as they looked at the little girl hanging on the tree with a sinister smile.

"I did not expect to find such a beggar after so much waiting. How unlucky." A brawny man looked at the little girl swaying on the tree and said unhappily.

"Hey, big brother, look, this looks like a girl. Although she's a bit young now, if she were to sell it to a brothel, it would still be worth a bit of money." "Have you forgotten? When we went to the Jade Flower Lodge a few days ago, didn't the old procuress say that if there was a little girl here, she would be willing to buy it at a high price?" A skinny man rolled his eyes and said to the sturdy man.

"Yes, I remember that the bawd said something about taking up education from a young age, so that we could cultivate the best and most talented Courtesan Belle." Another strong man also interjected.

The man called Big Brother licked his tongue as if he was reminiscing or fantasizing about something. His eyes then fell on the little girl again, and that look was as if he was looking at white silver. "Mm, if that's the case, then this little beggar is worth some money. Not bad, not bad."

"Brothers, I'm just a beggar, the brothel will not take me. Please, please, please, let me go …" Hearing the conversation between the three, the little girl's heart went cold. Her words carried a hint of a weeping tone as she said that she was good at this kind of speed. If she really was caught in a brothel, then even if her speed was comparable to that of a martial arts expert, it would be useless in that tightly guarded building.

"Let you go?" "Then what do you want me to eat?" The brawny man's eyes lit up as he stared at the little girl and laughed.

"I have enough money, so I'll give it all to you. Please let me go." The little girl thought of the money she just received and quickly reached for her waist, throwing the money bags to the three of them.

"I didn't expect that the little beggar girl would have the same copper coin, but it's not enough for the three of us. Besides, a little girl like you might as well go to the Jade Flower Lodge and enjoy life instead of begging for food everyday. As long as you listen to me obediently, the Green Flower Lodge will definitely not treat you unfairly." The brawny man said with a lewd smile as he held the open purse.

"You …." "All of you …" The little girl was so angry that she couldn't utter a word. A stream of clear tears immediately flowed down her cheeks and finally fell to the ground.

"Let her go." An ice-cold voice with a hint of immaturity could be heard from the forest. The three of them turned their heads in astonishment, only to see a thirteen or fourteen year old youth slowly walking out.

"I say, how come all the kids we meet today are all hairless?" The brawny man glanced at Fang Yi and laughed heartily. It was obvious that he didn't take Fang Yi's words to heart.

It's him?! A sliver of hope appeared in the little girl's heart, but then it calmed down again.

He's a cultivator, so even if I chase them away, I'm afraid he won't let me go. In the little girl's heart, it was as if she held great resentment towards cultivators.

"I said, let her go." Fang Yi said coldly once again.

"If I don't, what can you do?" The sturdy man laughed as he spoke.

"Then die!" Just as he finished speaking, Fang Yi's right hand pointed towards the burly man and a golden light shot out instantly, piercing the man's forehead.

A stream of blood flowed out from the line on his forehead. The burly man's face was still the same as when he laughed out loud, while his body slowly fell to the ground.

"The Immortal …." "Immortal!" Upon seeing this, the other two men were so frightened that the weapons in their hands fell to the ground. They trembled as they kneeled down and said, "Sir Immortal, you have a lot of resources. Please let this lowly one go."

"Scram." Fang Yi frowned slightly as he coldly shouted.

"Yes, yes, we will piss off now, thank you immortal." After the two of them finished talking, they immediately stood up. They didn't have time to pick up their weapons and ran deeper into the forest. From the looks of it, they wished they could be faster.

Seeing the two of them hurriedly escaping, Fang Yi didn't bother with them. He untied the rope under the tree, put the little girl down, retrieved his storage pouch, and prepared to leave.

"Why didn't you kill me?" The little girl looked at Fang Yi's back and asked.

Fang Yi turned around and looked at the little girl with a puzzled expression. "Why would I want to kill you?" Because you stole my storage bag? "It's not a big deal. Just bring it back."

"You're not like them." The little girl whispered.

It turned out that not all cultivators were evil people.

The little girl thought in her heart.

"What?" Fang Yi hadn't clearly heard the little girl's words and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, you can go." The little girl said in disappointment.

Seeing the little girl like this, Fang Yi couldn't help but feel a bit of pity for her. "Where is your home? Shall I send you back?"

"Home?" "Do I still have a home?" As she spoke, the tears in the little girl's eyes began to fall again.

"Don't cry, tell me what you want, maybe I can help you." Perhaps the little girl's crying had resonated with him, Fang Yi couldn't help but walk forward and ask softly.

The little girl didn't say anything. She just squatted down by herself and hugged her knees tightly. She buried her head between her legs and cried loudly.

Seeing the little girl in such a state, Fang Yi didn't disturb her and instead stood quietly beside her.

After an unknown amount of time, the little girl finally stopped crying. She wiped the tears off her face and looked at Fang Yi. "Why aren't you leaving?"

"If you don't have a place to go, then come with me. This way, we can be friends. Besides, I can ask grandpa to teach you how to cultivate." Fang Yi said as he looked at the little girl's tear-stained face.

"You're a good man, thank you." However, I want to go to the Cloud Maple Sect to cultivate. I've heard that the Yun Feng Sect will be taking the disciple recruitment examination in a few months, if I pass the examination, then I can become a disciple of the Yun Feng Sect. "The reason why I stole your purse was to collect the money." The young man in front of her couldn't help but give her a good impression.

"If that's the case, then come back with me first. I'll get some food for you from grandpa so you won't have to do anything like stealing. After all, it's not a good thing." Fang Yi thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, thank you." The girl nodded and said.

"Then let's go. Oh right, my name is Fang Yi, what about you?" Fang Yi said with a smile. He was obviously very happy that he was able to help the little girl.

"Mu Linger."

Finishing their words, the two of them headed in the direction of Sishui City. Their previous galloping had exhausted a large portion of their physical strength, so they were not in a hurry to return. Hence, they recovered their physical strength while walking.

Along the way, the two of them chatted as they walked, making the two of them feel closer to each other.

When the two of them arrived at the inn, it was already four hours later. Inside the inn, Old Man Fang was already waiting anxiously, thinking that if Fang Yi didn't return soon, he would have to go out and search.

Now that Fang Yi had returned, he'd been scolded by old man Fang first, causing Mu Linger to feel extremely ashamed. She thought to herself that if it wasn't for her, Fang Yi wouldn't have been scolded.

"This is?" After cursing Fang Yi, old man Fang turned his gaze towards Mu Linger. When he had seen Fang Yi bring the little girl back, he had felt puzzled.

"Hello, Grandpa Fang. My name is Mu Linger. I've just become friends with Fang Yi." Mu Linger replied obediently. Her large, watery eyes stole glances at old man Fang from time to time, making her seem extremely reserved.

"Grandfather, Ling'er wants to go to the Cloudburst Gate for the examination, but she doesn't have enough money, so I brought her back. I hope you can give her some money so she can make it to the Cloudburst Gate." Fang Yi also came over at this time and said.

"Huh?" "Are you going to participate in the Cloud Maple Sect's examination?" Old man Fang's eyes seemed to shine as he looked fiercely at Mu Linger before speaking in a low voice. His voice contained a trace of agitation.
