“Everyone, listen up! If you dare to harm any person from the South Continent, you will die! If you kill these innocent people from the South Continent, your entire family will be destroyed!”

When Li Mu left Blood City, he was followed by a dazed little boy.

After that, Li Mu headed to Longnan City and Qingri City and took a look around.

Compared to the people in Baishan City, the lives of the South Continent people in these cities were much more difficult.

There was no one to defend them.

There was no one trying to win them over.

By the time he returned to Baishan City, Li Mu was followed by five or six young children.

These children had all been wandering around the city. When Li Mu saw that the Zhongzhou people were about to kill them, he swiftly rescued them. action

Li Mu knocked on the wooden door at the entrance of the small yard.

“Sir! You are back! I missed you.” Surprised, A’mu quickly invited Li Mu into the yard.

“A’mu, are you and your sister willing to leave with me? If so, follow me.”

“Let me ask my sister.” A’mu’s eyes lit up suddenly and he ran out quickly.

“How cheeky!”

Li Mu invited the other children to take a seat as he waited in the yard.

Zhou Hua was at a moat outside the city, with a pile of clothes next to her.

She relied on washing clothes and doing needlework for others in order to make a living.

Fortunately, Sir had taught her and her brother a breathing exercise that seemed to work.

Doing a day’s work was not as tiring as before.

She flipped the clothes over, rubbed a little soap, then took in a deep breath and started scrubbing them.

While rubbing, she focused on her breathing.

“Sister!” Suddenly, a familiar cry came from a distance.

Zhou Hua slowly turned around.

In the distance, A’mu called out to her as he ran towards her.

He had come!

Zhou Hua noticed that Amu was very excited, as if he had just heard some good news.

“A’mu, why aren’t you practicing your swordsmanship skills at home? Why have you come here?”

“Sister... Sister!” A’mu stopped in front of Zhou Hua, gasping for breath.

After catching his breath he continued, “Sister, S... sir has come back. He said... he said he wants to bring us away and asks us... asks us if we will go with him.”

“You mean...” Zhou Hua stood up from the river and paused for a moment.

“Yes. Sir has come to bring us away,” A’mu finally caught his breath and said

“Sir is very capable, Amu, it’s great that you have such an opportunity.” Zhou Hua wiped her hands on her waist.

Just as she dried her hands, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes again and she hurriedly used her hands to wipe away the tears.

She managed to guessed what had happened in the Drunken Flower Parlor that day.

After that incident, many people in the city were all talking about it.

Only then did she know how powerful Sir really was.

If A’mu followed him, he would have a promising future with boundless potential.

“Sister, Sir asked if we want to leave with him. You’re coming along too!”

“Is that so?”

“Sister, don’t do the laundry anymore. Let’s leave with Sir.”

“But... I promised Aunt Bai.”

“Let’s go! Let others wash these clothes. Just leave the clothes here.”

Half an hour later, Zhou Hua and A’mu appeared in front of Li Mu.

The two looked at Li Mu cautiously.

“Are you two literate?” Li Mu asked.

“Yes, Sister Xiaoqing taught us to recognize some characters.” A’mu said.

“That’s good. In the future, you may need to find the answers in the books. I may not always be with you.” Li Mu said.

He planned to leave these children near the vitality pit of Muguang Mountain and let them practice by themselves.

He had already prepared books in advance for them.

In addition to learning how to check in, there were also many treasures from the Zhongzhou’s noble clan’s Library Tower.

There was no shortage of resources for these children.

The cultivation level they could reach would depend on how much effort they put in.

“Sir, can we take Xiaoqing along?” Zhou Hua said.

“Yes,” Li Mu nodded.

Even if Zhou Hua hadn’t said anything, Li Mu would also haven taken her along.

He felt like he owed her something.

Did he actually owe her anything?

No!

But he couldn’t help but feel this way.

“What can you teach me?” Xiaoqing stared at Li Mu, her eyes full of resentment.

So many days had passed.

And she knew that her husband wasn’t going to return.

“I will teach you how to avenge your husband,” Li Mu firmly said.

Good!” Xiaoqing chose to follow Li Mu too.

Xiaoqing’s real name was Chu Qing.

A’fei was her fiancé.

If nothing had happened, they would have gotten married this year.

Even the dowry had been given. All that was left was to formally join the family.

The two of them could be described as childhood sweethearts.

They were fated to be.

At the vitality pit, the prenatal qi was so thick that it was difficult to see the path in front of them.

Li Mu waved his hand and numerous sword qi burst out from within, carving out rows of caverns in the mountain.

Then, he opened up the domain, placed the books into a Library Tower, and put aside a collection of medicinal materials and other resources.

Afterwards, he expanded the hallucination formation and created the illusion of a mountain around the vitality pit.

In this way, Zhou Hua and the other children would have more space to train.

As the hallucination formation expanded, the enveloping prenatal qi gradually became thinner.

But it was still much thicker than it was outside.

“Many of you are literate and are also South Continent people living in Zhongzhou. Since you are lucky enough to have met me, I am willing to give you this opportunity. Whether you can achieve anything will depend on your own efforts.”

“Yes, sir.”

After speaking, Li Mu let the children to choose their own cavern.

Then, he entered the vitality pit and took in a deep breath, inhaling the prenatal qi into his body.

“Checking in!”

Meanwhile, countless masters from several cities in Zhongzhou had gathered.

“Have you heard? A master of Virtual Realm appeared in the South Continent. The South Continent people seem to have someone backing them now. A man in Baishan City was killed just for bullying a girl from the South Continent.”

“That’s nothing! After the gang of human traffickers in Blood City arrested slaves on the street and killed a South Continent woman, he and his whole gang was killed. That day, there was sword qi all over the city and it took a long time to disperse. I heard that the City Lord didn’t even dare to show himself as he was afraid the sword qi would kill him.”

“It looks like I’ll have to treat the South Continent people with more respect now!”

“Why? We don’t have many resources in Zhongzhou, and we still have to take in these South Continent people. They are robbing us of our resources and we can’t even do anything about it.”

...

Compared to the depressed people in Zhongzhou, the people in the South Continent discussed this Virtual Realm master with happiness visible on their faces.

“How do you think the Virtual Realm master looks like? Do you think I can marry him?” In a dilapidated house, the stout woman asked in anticipation.

“Yes! If you marry him, you will have a good future.” A plump girl lying on a wide chair replied as she bit into a piece of cake.

“Dream on! If the two of you were more diligent, our family wouldn’t be in such a terrible state!”

Outside the house, an old man was chopping firewood with his axe.

He was very depressed.

Why did he have two daughters?

They were so lazy and had such pathetic thoughts.
