Poor girl is hated by everyone, villains drive her crazy

The blood of mermaids is extremely rare, and their tears can be transformed into pearls. Although not as precious as spirit stones and gold, a sparrow, no matter how small, is still meat. You should not refuse free money.

Practicing cultivation costs money. Which resource or spiritual herb doesn’t cost money?

Zhao Hunyuan, the elder of Sushan Sect, had no intention of letting Qingpei go since he discovered him.

Their Sushan Sect sounds nice, saying that they are the sixth largest immortal sect, but the world only recognizes the five largest immortal sects. No matter how outstanding they are, they are only a small immortal sect.

But who doesn't know that the five major immortal sects just have more ways to make money?

As long as they have money and resources, they can also become a great immortal sect!

Unfortunately, Qingpei was too timid and he had already used up all his courage just to come and save Zhongxian.

After being caught, he was afraid of causing trouble for the bell strings, so no matter how the monks provoked him, he curled up into a ball and did not attack.

In this way, the Immortal Sect has no way to convict Qingpei.

Qingpei is a friend that Zhong Xian cares about, otherwise it would be nothing to just take him away as a lowly demon.

Unable to take the person away, the Immortal Sect simply used Zhong Xian as an excuse and told Qing Pei that if he wanted to save Zhong Xian, he would have to provide a certain amount of blood and tears every day.

“I used to be afraid of getting hurt.”

Qingpei held the wound on his neck and smiled at Xi cheerfully:

"Now that I've had my blood drawn a few times, I suddenly feel that the injury isn't a big deal. At least I've saved my life."

When Qingpei said this, Zhong Xian turned his head away, his eyes dim.

This is an expression that Zhong Xian rarely shows.

Self-blame, guilt, and the sadness of powerlessness.

The immortal sect is destroying Zhong Xian from multiple aspects including mentally, physically, etc.

Yu Xi’s hands were gripping Zhong Xian’s clothes so tightly that they turned white.

Ever since she saw Zhong Xian's past in the mirage monster's illusion, she knew that Zhong Xian must have experienced a lot. But when she saw with her own eyes that Zhong Xian was destroyed bit by bit, the hatred in her heart almost reached its peak uncontrollably.

Thinking of Qingxin's smug look, she closed her eyes and murderous intent rose in her heart.

She must die with a clear mind and without an intact body!

"Xiao Xi'er."

Zhong Xian suddenly spoke and grabbed Yu Xi's hand. The slightly cool palm brought Yu Xi back to his senses.

"Granny Liang is gone. There's a funeral today. Do you want to go and see her off?"

Granny Liang has no children and is responsible for taking care of unattended children in the city. When he was busy before, Yu Xi spent part of his time with Granny Liang.

Yu Xi also remembered the kind old lady who was so good to her.

She didn't expect that Grandma Liang would pass away suddenly, and nodded quickly.

Zhong Xian put on the mask and took Yu Xi out.

Qingpei was not in a good mood, so Zhongxian left him in the house to rest.

When Yu Xi went out, he found that the originally bustling Qiuluo City was now deserted and desolate. There were no pedestrians on the streets. It was so quiet that it seemed like a dead city.

While it should have been the hottest time of the summer, gray snowflakes were floating in the sky, thinly covering the city and adding a chill to the air.

The same road was once crowded with people, with the hawking of vendors getting louder and louder in her ears. When the vendors saw her, they would enthusiastically give her fruits to eat and tease her by saying:

"Little girls should eat more. Being able to eat is a blessing!"

There is nothing now.

She couldn't help but look at Zhong Xian.

Zhong Xian was wearing a mask, so his expression could not be seen.

But the hand he was holding on to Yu Xi felt even colder, and he was holding on to the source of heat and couldn't let go.

Grandma Liang's funeral was also very quiet. White paper was scattered all over the courtyard. The coffin was kept in the mourning hall for seven days. Someone was carrying the coffin out to the cemetery for burial.

Zhong Xian did not enter the house. When the people carrying the coffin away saw Zhong Xian, no one greeted him.

So strange that it seems like we have never known each other.

However, some girls called Yu Xi from afar, took out some packed dry food and small change, rubbed her head worriedly and said:

"This is what Granny Liang left for you. When something happened to the city lord, she was afraid that you would be left alone and hungry without anyone to take care of you. You must keep it well and don't let anyone snatch it away."

Yu Xi took these things. She never expected that Granny Liang was still worried about her. Her nose suddenly felt sore and she tried hard not to cry.

"Why is she gone all of a sudden?"

Granny Liang has always been in good health.

The girl who gave her the gift was silent for a while before she said sadly:

"It is difficult for even the young to survive the poison of heaven's punishment. Many old people and children did not make it. Snow fell in June, the mountains were filled with wronged souls, and the withered graves were filled with long-lasting sorrows but no one could tell them."

As she spoke, she looked at Zhong Xian standing outside the courtyard, closed her eyes and said:

"We are the ones who have dragged down the master. In order to survive, we actually did that to the master..."

Yu Xi heard the girl's voice gradually becoming lower and lower, and he held his breath unconsciously and took half a step back.

Only then did she realize that the immortal sect had given every household a dagger.

If you want to save your family, you have to take blood from Zhong Xian.

The Immortal Sect wanted to let Zhong Xian know that the person he tried so hard to protect would stab him with a sharp blade for their own sake.

When Yu Xi followed Zhong Xian back, she didn't dare let Zhong Xian hold her.

She was afraid that Zhong Xian was injured somewhere but refused to tell her and would touch his wound.

At this time, Zhong Xian was just an ordinary person!

Zhong Xian was very hurt: "Xiao Xi'er doesn't want me to hold her either?"

Yu Xi quickly shook her head: "When I grow up, I want to hug my brother."

Zhong Xian was in a good mood because of Yu Xi's coaxing words. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll be waiting."

Holding Yu Xi's hand, Zhong Xian lowered his eyes to look at the two footprints, one large and one small, left on the thin snow, and said softly:

"Xiao Xi'er, Brother Yuan Kui will be back soon. He will bring a teleportation talisman with him. You and everyone in the city will go to the shelter together. There is also a teleportation array in the shelter. Although it takes some time to activate, you can escape from the array and leave Qiuluo City far away.

"After you leave, the current emperor will arrange for someone to secretly prepare new identities and land for you so that you can start a new life."

Zhong Xian saw more clearly than anyone else that Qiuluo City could no longer be saved.

He had to finally arrange a place for the people in the city.

Somehow, Yu Xi suddenly remembered what Song Yangtian said.

Song Yangtian thought Zhong Xian hated them.

"Don't you hate them, brother?"

With Zhong Xian's ability, if he was not the lord of Qiuluo City, he might not have ended up in his current situation.

"Don't hate."

Zhong Xian seemed to smile: "It's their right to hate me and hurt me. I didn't protect them well. I like everyone to be happy."

After a pause, he suddenly bent down and quickly picked up Yu Xi, not giving her a chance to struggle:

"Although we have known each other for the shortest time, I like Xiao Xi'er the most. Xiao Xi'er should be happy too and stop being sad."

Just as Yu Xi could feel his sadness, he could also feel Yu Xi's depressed and heavy mood.

Listening to the gentle sound of the bell strings, which was no different from usual, Yu Xi finally burst into tears after trying hard to hold back her tears:

"But how can I be happy if something happens to you?"

"Then nothing will happen to me."

Zhong Xian took off his mask, lowered his head distressedly, and said to Yu Xi's forehead: "Trust me, it will be fine."
