He was discovered by the man in black robe and brought to his father.

Cheng Du thought he was saved, but he was slapped in the face by his father. Half of his face was swollen and he heard his father's angry scolding.

"How dare you offend the Lord, you ignorant creature."

Cheng Du was thrown into a dungeon. Just when he was sad, he saw the sorcerer. The sorcerer had a mask on his face, so he couldn't see what he looked like.

An indistinct voice came from behind his mask.

"Tsk, it's another piece of waste. I guess I can't grow anything out of it... I might as well just use it as feed."

The sorcerer waved his sleeves and Cheng Du passed out. When he woke up again, he saw Nan Xun and the others.

Nan Xun repeated everything Cheng Du said, and several people began to think about it.

However, the relationship between the sorcerer and the man in black robe is a little unclear.

Are these two people in the same group?

Just when everyone in Jiuxiao Sect was thinking hard about this matter, the cries of Cheng En and Cheng Du were suddenly heard in the courtyard.

Several people were shocked and rushed to the yard, only to see Cheng Tian taking out a long sword from somewhere and slashing his own neck with it.

Blood splattered on Cheng Du and Cheng En, making their faces even paler.

Cheng Tian fell beside the city lord's wife, his face hitting the mud and the bodies of the spiders. Then, blood spread out and formed a small pool of blood.

"This is……"

Nan Xun stared at Cheng Tian’s body on the ground with wide eyes.

"My eldest brother said, 'I'm sorry, mother, I'm sorry, father,' and then he swung the knife..."

Cheng Du trembled as he said this, tears falling one by one, washing away the blood splattered on his face.

Cheng En seemed to be frightened. His body trembled uncontrollably and his tears flowed like a river bursting its dam, but he could not make any sound.

There used to be a family of five, but now there are only two brothers and sisters left.

Jiang Jingmo's eyes fell on Cheng Tian's body on the ground. He was already lifeless at this moment. Under the control of the Hehuan Gu, he had done such a thing with his biological mother. When he woke up, no one could bear such pain.

In this way, I am finally liberated.

However, seeing the tragic scene of him dying face to the ground, he must have felt too ashamed to face his own parents even in death.

Jiang Jingmo sighed.

The issues in Xunjiang City have been almost resolved, and several people from Jiuxiao Sect are packing up their things and preparing to leave.

Xu Fengzui brought Mu Yuanqian to see them off. Qi Shu's body was lying quietly on Mu Yuanqian's back, pressing the little girl's face so hard that it turned red. But she was still stubborn and refused to let go.

Cheng Du and Cheng En stood behind the two men, carrying bags on their backs, their eyes red and swollen, but they looked much better.

At this moment, the scandal of the City Lord's Mansion has been spread. Regardless of whether it is related to these two half-grown children, as the children of the old City Lord, they are destined to no longer stay in Xunjiang City.

"Don't see me off, Senior Sister Xu, it's time for us to leave."

Jiang Jingmo turned around and chuckled at Xu Fengzui, his eyes unconsciously falling on Qi Shu's body.

Mu Yuanqian, who was carrying Qi Shu on her back, felt Jiang Jingmo's gaze and gave her a bitter smile. At this moment, she was tightly holding a bag of cold pastries in her hand.

"On behalf of my brother, I wish you a smooth journey."

Everyone nodded and remained silent, with a look of reluctance in their eyes. Finally, Jiang Jingmo responded with a word.

"Thank you very much, Brother Qi. Goodbye."

As the sun set, the blood-red setting sun dyed half the sky red. Everyone from the Jiuxiao Sect saluted towards the few people with their fists, then turned and left, leaving behind only a few long shadows, like thoughts stretched by the setting sun, gradually going farther and farther away.

Mu Yuanqian stared at their backs in a daze. After a long time, she clenched the bag of pastries in her hand and muttered to herself.

"Brother, did you hear that? They said goodbye to you..."

Xu Fengzui turned to look at the girl, his eyes filled with sadness and confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Didn't mother say that we have something called reincarnation? Perhaps, after a few hundred years, Senior Brother will appear in the world again."

Xu Fengzui remembered what her mother had been saying since she was a child. Although she knew that such things were not credible, after hearing Mu Yuanqian say this, she suddenly felt a sense of hope in her heart for some reason.

"I hope so..."

Xu Fengzui's words were dissipated in the wind, and in a corner that none of them noticed, a little golden light emanated from Qi Shu's body and then sank into Jiang Jingmo's body.

The figures of the people from Jiuxiao Sect disappeared in the sunset.

When Xu Fengzui and Mu Yuanqian turned around, they met the gazes of the Cheng brothers and sisters, followed by a long silence.

Xu Fengzui and Mu Yuanqian knew that the two were innocent, but they couldn't help feeling upset.

The Cheng siblings also knew how heinous what their father had done was, but they refused to explain.

In the end, they just took a step back and said goodbye to each other.

All the joys and sorrows in the world are fate.

.........

puff-

It was the sound of the sword penetrating into the flesh of the spirit beast.

Bai Jinyue waved her sword tenaciously, fighting against the spirit beasts that appeared before her one after another, and the blood gradually dyed her clothes red.

"System, what should we do now?"

The girl was panting, her blood and sweat mixed together, and now she was exhausted.

"Host, please continue to hold on. You will not die."

A cold mechanical sound rang out, making Bai Jinyue angry. She had not yet reached the Xuanling realm, and if she had to deal with such a large number of spirit beasts, she would be worn out to death sooner or later.

She didn't know what mission this broken system had assigned her. She shouldn't have come for this training, but the system had given her a mandatory mission. If she didn't complete it, she would be electrocuted, so she had no choice but to agree.

She has had the system for such a long time, but this is the first time she knows that the system has mandatory tasks.

However, the system did give Bai Jinyue an explanation, saying that she had not completed enough tasks some time ago and was forced to accept the tasks imposed by the system.

The mandatory task this time is to participate in this training and then get something called Xuanyin Gu.

Now the system doesn't care about her. Bai Jinyue looks at the increasing number of spirit beasts around her. She can only grit her teeth and continue to hold on. But it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Soon, she is pounced to the ground by a tiger beast.

Seeing that big mouth emitting fishy smell was about to bite down on her fragile neck, Bai Jinyue felt panic in her heart. She called the system over and over again in her heart, but the system remained silent.

Just when Bai Jinyue thought she was about to die, a sound similar to a whistle was heard, and the spirit beasts around her instantly quieted down.

The tiger erected its ears and tensed its body. Then, as if it had seen something terrible, it ran away with its tail between its legs.

Bai Jinyue, who had escaped death, lay on the ground in a daze, not knowing what had happened, when a clear voice rang out.

"Oh, it's a person."
