My apprentice is a little weird?

As he was speaking, two bodyguards came up with an old man with broken hands and feet and threw him to the ground.

This old man was none other than the old man who sold the map to Jiang Yan!

At this moment, his limbs were broken, his body was covered with bloody wounds, and he was lying on the ground gasping for breath.

Qin Menglin didn't even bother to bow his head. He just glanced down slightly and walked past the old man nonchalantly, leaving a sentence.

"Play as you like, remember to clean up"

"Yes!!"

Immediately afterwards, dozens of escorts with unusual appearances stood out from among the hundreds of escorts. Some of them were tall, some were short, some were strong, and some were thin, but without exception, their bodies were more or less deformed, and they did not even look like normal people.

They bared their ferocious sharp teeth, opened their mouths wide, looked at the old man lying on the ground with lustful eyes, and licked their lips gently.

Even though his limbs were broken, the old man still felt a wave of fear from the bottom of his heart! He sobbed instinctively, but it didn't work.

The only sounds left at the scene were the sounds of flesh being torn apart and chewed...

Qin Kui brought two taels of gold to Bai Shi's shabby house, put the gold on the ground in front of the door, clasped his fists and bowed to the inside of the house and said, "Three of you, this is the compensation for breaking the wall. I put it here."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked away, but after only two steps, he turned back and said quietly: "Three of you, I think it's better for you not to come out now. Wait until tomorrow~ You can find a better place to settle down and forget about what happened today."

"After today, Xiaoquan Village will no longer exist."

…………

On an inconspicuous path somewhere, Jiang Yan held Shen Ming's hand and walked slowly towards the sunset.

The two of them were just like walking on the street, you were not in a hurry, and I was not in a hurry either.

Their steps were light and leisurely. Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and there were only the two of them in the whole world.

"Master, didn't you say yesterday that mortals have great respect and fear for immortal cultivators? Why do I feel that Fatty Qin isn't that afraid of you? On the one hand, he pretends that he doesn't know that Master is an immortal, and on the other hand, he wants Master to go to the mansion by himself! Shen Ming was very angry when he heard that."

Shen Ming waved his little fist and punched the air, but was rewarded with a slap on the head by Jiang Yan.

"What I taught you is to be respectful to others, and not to be contemptuous or arrogant, even if the other person is a beggar. A lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit."

Shen Ming pouted innocently and said aggrievedly: "But~ Shen Ming feels that Fatty Qin is not a good person~"

This time Jiang Yan did not refute, but looked at the setting sun with deep eyes.

"This is the cancer of this world, it cannot be eradicated~"

Shen Ming tilted his head slightly, not understanding.

"This world is the world of immortal cultivators, not the world of humans."

"Protecting all living things~ To put it nicely, it's called protecting mortals from being disturbed, but to put it bluntly, it's actually a disguised form of captivity."

"Among the existing secular dynasties, any one with great influence has the shadow of a great immortal sect behind it. For example, the Li family controls most of Lianshan City, and the Qin family is famous throughout the continent. The rise of the Li family is definitely not like what Qiao'er said."

"What kind of prosperity and wealth can last for a hundred years? Where is Lianshan City? It is the junction of three regions. What kind of force can take root there for a hundred years?"

Jiang Yan said this calmly, then stretched out his hand, and the spiritual energy in his palm gathered to form a picture. In the picture, a group of people stood upright above the clouds, chatting and laughing with each other. Countless silk threads hung from his palms, connecting the rise and fall of dynasties in the world.

"The immortals appear to be high and mighty, but they are actually manipulating the secular world behind the scenes."

"And if the immortal sect behind them abandons them or is destroyed, then no matter how much they have planned and accumulated, everything will be gone in an instant."

"Just like the Li Mansion, I don't know who is behind the Li family, but he was abandoned after all. Just an outer disciple of a low-ranking sect turned the entire Li family upside down."

"So now Ming'er still thinks that the Qin family master is still an ordinary mortal~"

"How can I, a nameless and unknown cultivator, let others bow down to me?"

Shen Ming opened his wise eyes, with a brilliant light flashing in them, and thought with gritted teeth and frowned.

"Hmm~ Shen Ming can't figure it out"

"Since they are so high up, why do they still want to control the world? There is nothing worth having."

Jiang Yan waved his hand at this time and said: "You ask Master, who should Master ask? Maybe he can just recruit some people to dig in the mines or do odd jobs."

"Then...does Master's sect have any influence in the secular world?"

Shen Ming asked innocently, and saw Jiang Yan pause. A very proud expression appeared on his face, and he answered confidently with his hands on his hips.

"Of course! No..."

"Ancient Immortal Sect, Ancient Immortal Sect, it's like an old antique that is about to die, rigid and inflexible, doesn't communicate with the outside world, is closed and autistic, and only knows how to study to become an immortal~ It doesn't even know that its own disciples are almost starving to death!" (Extremely resentful)

"If it weren't for your master's hard work, working from dawn to dusk, doing business, digging spiritual mines, building talisman roads and caves, and promoting the technological explosion in the fairy world and driving economic development, this fairy gate would have disappeared long ago."

"How is your master? Is he very powerful?"

Shen Ming raised his head and hummed for a long time, and finally just said "Oh". Oh...

Jiang Yan grabbed Shen Ming and brought him close to his face, saying word by word, "Am I awesome?"

Shen Ming looked at him and blinked his wise eyes. "Well, Master, you are great."

Hearing the compliment, Jiang Yan smiled proudly.

"That's right, don't you see who the Master is!"

Jiang Yan felt in a very good mood. Of course, it was not because Shen Ming praised him that he was happy, he was just in a good mood.

Jiang Yan, in a good mood, took out the map from his arms and took a look at it, then recalled the direction he took when he walked out of Xiaoquan Village. The smile on his face suddenly froze.

Shen Ming stood on tiptoe and took a look. She knew they were going to Cangzhou, and she always remembered the route and direction they took. Now, when she compared them, she immediately found something wrong.

Their current direction seems to be slightly different from that on the map~

It seems, seemingly, perhaps, that they went the wrong way...

…………

Jiang Yan sat under a big tree, with a map in front of him. He looked lonely and not as happy as before...

Shen Ming squatted beside him and poked him quietly and asked:

"Master, I want to ask, since we have slept until dusk, why do we have to leave as soon as we wake up? Why don't we just sleep a little longer and set off at dawn tomorrow?"

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and turned his head expressionlessly.

"forget"

"Oh"

"Then Master, are we going the wrong way?"

"Um"

"........."

Shen Ming blinked, and Jiang Yan followed suit, and the former couldn't help but smile slyly.
