“Did your sister bully you today?”
Li Mu asked as he put the garbage in the basket.
Once the basket was full, he placed it on a wooden cart.
“I followed your words, Grandpa. I ran out to play alone. They couldn’t find me even if they wanted to bully me.”
Brightness and slyness shone in Tingting’s eyes as she said this.
After saying this, she glanced at Li Mu with a sad look in her eyes.
“There are a lot of ways to have fun in the world. One day, you will find a real friend,” Li Mu comforted her.
Every child wanted a companion. Li Mu felt heartbroken for what Tingting was going through. What a good girl! Her childhood experience was really similar to Liu An’s.
Liu An had a low status in the Palace since his mother wasn’t favored by his father.
And Tingting’s family was a cultivator family living in seclusion.
Since she was a girl without much talent, many of her peers disdained her.
After all, ideas of cla.s.s diversion existed everywhere.
“Okay, Grandpa. No matter what bad thing they said about me, I won’t hear anything as long as I go far away..” Tingting held her disappointment back and nodded her head hard.
“Just ignore what they say. Just turn deaf! Don’t let them decide your way to enjoy your life.”
Li Mu continued filling the cart with garbage.
He pulled the cart in the front while Tingting pushed it from behind.
“Grandpa, am I really a loser?”
“No, you’re not!”
“Then why can’t I cultivate?”
“Your meridians are suffering from coldness. You will be able to cultivate after you get rid of the cold.”
The two of them pushed the cart to the valley and dumped the garbage into the landfill of Bailing Valley.
Then the two pushed the garbage cart back again.
“Grandpa, let me come to deal with the garbage with you from now on! It is an easy job and not so many people would talk about it.”
“Okay.” Li Mu agreed.
Not so many people would talk about it? How was that possible?
In her half month of being with him, the whole Clan knew about it.
Tingting became the most useless girl in the family since she was with a garbage collector every day.
She might not be able to get married.
Many families in Bailing Valley had made it clear that they wouldn’t let such a girl marry into their families.
Tingting’s parents also gave up on their daughter and left her to sink or swim on her own.
Tingting just ate with the handymen every day.
The members of Clan Liu tried to resist it, although Tingting only followed a handyman.
If she really ended up sweeping the floor or dumping the garbage, her clan would definitely drive her out.
The garbage pile was cleared after two carts.
“Tingting, was it smelly just now?”
Li Mu led Tingting to the edge of a cliff.
“I’m used to it!”
“Does that rag doll of yours still stink?”
“It’s clean! It doesn’t stink.”
“I have candy here for you.”
Li Mu took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill from the system s.p.a.ce.
This pill was already of no use to him now.
When he was in the State of Great Xia, he thought about taking on a disciple. But he didn’t expect his destined disciple would appear when he came to Clan Xia.
“Grandpa, you eat!” Tingting held the candy out to Li Mu.
“No need! I’ve already had it many years ago.”
“You will have nothing to eat if I take it, right?”
“I have a lot more here, you still have to eat them later,”
Li Mu said as he took out a bunch of bottles.
“Grandpa! Why do you have so much candy!”
“Just eat it. I will give you more when you finish these.”
Tingting took a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Li Mu grabbed Tingting’s little hand and injected true Qi into Tingting’s body to help her absorb and use the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After two days, Li Mu injected another dose of true Qi into Tingting after she ate a Red Dragon Pill. This time, it was to help her get rid of the cold in her meridians.
“It feels so warm!”
“I will teach you another breathing method. You will feel warmer after you practice.”
“Okay!”
“Good girl!”
Three months later.
On the edge of the cliff, Li Mu put one hand on Tingting’s back.
With a huge sound, the Qi in Tingting’s body suddenly burst out.
Li Mu gently waved his hand to suppress the Qi. Then he nodded his head in satisfaction!
It took Tingting only three months to enter Higher Heaven Realm from Acquired Realm.
She was a ten-year-old Cultivator of Higher Heaven Realm! This made her even more of a genius than Zhao Seven.
Tingting was still cultivating while Li Mu retreated in silence.
“Have you heard that a devil appeared in Clan Nangong in Red Dragon City?”
“The one in Honghai Sacred Ground?” Two youths were talking as they walked past Li Mu.
Li Mu lifted his head when hearing this.
“A devil?” Li Mu followed the two to hear more.
“I heard that many of the personal disciples in Honghai Sacred Ground were consumed by the devil. Now the whole sacred ground is filled with anger!”
“A devil appeared in the sacred ground? That’s horrible! What happened?”
“A devil appeared in the sacred ground and it turned out that the devil is the future master of the sect! They would definitely be angry. The disciple is killed and other disciples will go destroy the State of Great Xia to avenge their dead brothers-in-trainings.”
“Is the State of Great Xia related to this?”
“I heard that guy turned into a devil after going to the State of Great Xia. And the real devil is in the State of Great Xia palace.”
“Then the State of Great Xia is in danger this time.”
“Of course, whoever destroys the real devil this time will definitely be the Master candidate of the sacred ground.”
“What a fierce compet.i.tion! The State of Great Xia is over this time. Liu Yu would find his home destroyed after the Secluded Cultivation.”
Behind the two, Li Mu stopped.
On the huge rocks of the valley.
“Tingting, I will have to leave for some time to deal with something..”
“Grandpa, where are you going?”
“To sweep the floor in a place where you can’t go. When it’s clean there, I’ll be back.”
Honghai Sacred Ground was one of the eight sacred grounds in Zhongzhou.
But these days, people from all over Zhongzhou were laughing at Honghai Sacred Ground, since the Master successor had became a devil and consumed many masters in the sacred ground.
The scared ground made it their mission to destroy devils, and now, a devil had appeared there!
Hilarious!
Disciples of the entire Honghai Sacred Ground felt ashamed when they went out.
Inside the sacred ground, many people were excited with anger.
“Clan Nangong must be responsible for this!”
“Give back my grandson’s life!”
In the hall of the sacred ground, the elders were divided into two sides and sat there with their eyes closed.
Clan Nangong was over even if they didn’t say anything.
At this time, they would get no benefits no matter if they showed any disdain or defense to Clan Nangong. It would only make them seem disgraced.
“Nangong turned to be strange after coming back from Nanzhou. It must have something to do with Nanzhou. Send someone back to investigate it again.”
“There were four other people with him. Why is there nothing wrong with the other four? Why is Nangong the only one who turned to be a devil? Or maybe he was evil-minded so that the Devil Gang took advantage of him. No need for investigation. I heard from Lu Tianfeng that the devil is hiding in the Palace of the State of Great Xia Palace. Just destroy the Palace.”
“We better not to kill innocent people. We still don’t know the truth,” said the first elder on the right.
He had been observing the compa.s.s these days.
The old devil of Nanzhou was still in the Demon Locking Well and had no chance of coming out.
Since the old devil couldn’t come out, there must be some secrets about what happened in Nanzhou.
“A mere mortal kingdom. What if it is destroyed? Innocent? As I see it, no one in the State of Great Xia is innocent.”
The elder of Clan Nangong stood up and said.
After saying that, he looked at the crowd of people.
The hall once again fell into silence and no one spoke a word.
Obviously, many people did not approve of the view of Clan Nangong.
“Third Elder Nangong, are you being overly aggressive?”
“How could Clan Nangong keep its dignity if he didn’t do this?”
Snickers came from the corner of the hall.
At this time, Clan Nangong could only exaggerate the power of the Evil Gang in Nanzhou.
So that they could say, the one who turned to be a devil was possessed by the devil during the war against the Evil Gang. He fought but was surrounded and failed. He managed to escape but was still possessed.
This was the only way Clan Nangong could be cleared of its failure.
“Who is it? Come out!”
