Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 10 A Blacksmith Came to the Village (2)

"Mom, don't worry, I obtained these gold soul coins through legitimate means."

"During my expedition, I helped a trapped noble descendant. He was grateful and gave me these as a thank you gift."

"I know you have been working hard for your family's livelihood. I hope these can make life easier for you and Grandpa Jack."

As he spoke, Li Muyun gently handed the cloth bag to his mother. That warm palm seemed to convey all the peace of mind and happiness.

Li Xingyue held the bag, her eyes slightly red, tears welling up in her eyes, but she smiled: "Muyun, you have grown up, really grown up. Mom is proud of you, but I hope you are safe and don't put yourself in danger."

Li Muyun said, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Then he asked, "By the way, has anyone come to the village recently? For example, a blacksmith?"

Hearing this, Li Xingyue's brows flashed with thought, and then she whispered softly: "Oh, that Tang Hao, he is a very mysterious person."

"The child he is with is called Tang San. He is one and a half years old this year. He is so sensible at such a young age that it makes people feel distressed."

"As for Tang San, every morning you can see him basking in the sun on the small hill at the entrance of the village."

"Yesterday I saw him helping to wash clothes by the river. His hands were red from the cold but he didn't say a word. People in the village say that this child will be an extraordinary person in the future."

At this point, Li Xingyue's eyes flashed with love, as if she could see that tenacious little figure through her words. She looked up at Li Muyun, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation: "Muyun, if you meet them, you might as well take care of them. This world always needs more warmth and kindness."

Oh my god, when you help others, they think you are meddling in their affairs.

Everyone knows that in the original book, Old Jack said something to Tang Hao, and that guy kicked Old Jack out of the house. He is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed.

Although she thought so in her heart, Li Muyun still nodded, "Don't worry, Mom, I will!"

Li Xingyue smiled and said, "You, go give your Grandpa Jack some gold soul coins later and visit him. He kept talking about you during the days you were away."

"..."

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the path of Holy Soul Village, stretching Li Muyun's shadow long. He held the cloth bag full of gold soul coins tightly in his hand and walked briskly towards Old Jack's house.

Along the way, villagers were either returning from farming or sitting together chatting and laughing. When they saw Li Muyun, they all cast approving glances and warm greetings.

Li Muyun responded one by one, with a warm smile on his face. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm but not dazzling.

Arriving at old Jack's door, Li Muyun knocked gently. The door creaked open, revealing old Jack's wrinkled but kind face.

Seeing Li Muyun, Old Jack's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled from ear to ear: "Muyun, you are finally back. The village has been a lot quieter these days without you."

Li Muyun's face was full of smiles, his eyes flashing with excitement and pride that could not be concealed. He stepped into the house, gently placed the cloth bag in his hand on the table, and then turned to face Old Jack, with a childlike excitement in his voice: "Grandpa Jack, I have good news to tell you, I have reached level 20, and now I am a great soul master!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of faint light, which was a subtle sign of the release of soul power.

At the same time, two yellow soul rings appeared under his feet.

The air in the room seemed to vibrate slightly with the fluctuation of this power.

Old Jack's eyes were instantly filled with tears of disbelief and relief. With trembling hands, he gently stroked Li Muyun's shoulders, as if to confirm that all this was not a dream.

Old Jack's eyes were moist, but a smile of extreme relief appeared at the corners of his mouth. He patted Li Muyun's back hard, his voice choked with sobs: "Good, good, it seems that in the near future, our Holy Soul Village will have another Soul Saint! This is not only your honor, but also the pride of our entire village." Old Jack's hands trembled slightly, and he picked up the cloth bag full of gold soul coins from the table. The tears in his eyes and the golden threads on the cloth bag complemented each other, making it particularly dazzling.

"My child, these are what you earned with your sweat and courage. Make good use of them and make the name of Holy Soul Village even more famous because of you."

Old Jack's words were full of expectations and blessings, as if he placed all his hopes on the young and determined figure in front of him.

"Grandpa Jack, this gold soul coin was originally meant for you. I have money!"

Old Jack's voice was filled with the weight of time: "Muyun, I understand the path of a soul master. It is a road paved with thorns and gold. The difficulty of cultivation is beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

"Gold Soul Coins are good, but they are proof of your countless brushes with danger. Grandpa can't take them. You still have a long way to go. You need more resources to support you and to make your way."

As he spoke, Old Jack tried to push the cloth bag back to Li Muyun. His wrinkled hands looked particularly strong and firm.

Seeing this, Li Muyun's heart warmed and his eyes were slightly hot. He took a step forward and gently placed his hands on old Jack's hands, his eyes gentle but firm: "Grandpa Jack, it is precisely because I know how difficult this road is that I want you and mom to live a good life. These gold soul coins are my thoughts for my family and my confidence in the future. Please accept them."

A trace of relief and kindness flashed in old Jack's eyes. He gently patted the back of Li Muyun's hand. The cloth bag seemed to be carrying a thousand pounds of emotion and was slowly pushed to the cabinet beside him.

He turned around and took out an antique wooden box from the cabinet. Although the surface of the wooden box was mottled, it was wiped extremely clean, revealing the traces of time.

"Muyun, Grandpa knows what you mean. Let me keep the gold soul coin for you. This wooden box was used by Grandpa when he was young. It is very safe. If you need it, come to Grandpa and get it."

As he spoke, he carefully placed the gold soul coins in the cloth bag into the wooden box one by one. Every time he put one in, it was like adding a solid foundation for Li Muyun's future.

"..."

After leaving Old Jack's house, Li Muyun walked in the afterglow of the setting sun, feeling particularly relaxed and happy.

On the small paths between villages, the breeze blows gently, bringing the fragrance of rice and the fresh scent of distant mountains and forests.

He was enjoying the peace and tranquility when suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility around him. A child jumped out from the alley next to him, as agile and quick as a squirrel jumping in the woods.

The child looked to be about one or two years old, with messy black hair. He was wearing slightly shabby clothes, but his energy and vigor did not diminish at all.

When the child saw Li Muyun, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened, as if he was wary and scrutinizing this stranger in the village.

Why does this kid look so familiar?
While Li Muyun was looking at the child, the child was also observing Li Muyun.

"You are... Tang San?"

Hearing this, the child became even more defensive, "Who are you? How do you know my name?"

It’s over, is it really Tang San?
Was I committing a suicidal act by looking at him like that just now?
"Don't be afraid, I'll show you a magic trick."

As he spoke, Li Muyun instantly released the "Domain of a Thousand Miles in an Instant."

"Domain skill, activate."

In an instant, Li Muyun disappeared from the spot, leaving only Tang San with a confused look on his face.
