Xu Yeyu and the couple who were looking for their daughter took the county magistrate's carriage and after half a day's journey, they finally arrived in Qinglin County.

It would take two days for an ordinary horse-drawn carriage to travel 60 kilometers, with the horses being given rest and feeding along the way. The reason why it could travel so quickly was entirely due to the carriage provided by the county lord, and the horse on this carriage was not an ordinary horse.

The couple held each other's hands tightly and comforted each other along the way. They were very worried. Young Master Xu did not continue to talk about their daughter's condition, and they did not dare to ask any more.

When we arrived in Qinglin County, it was already evening. It was dinner time and various restaurants on both sides of the street exuded the tempting aroma of delicious food.

If it were a normal time at this time, Xu Yeyu would find a restaurant to eat first, but he had important things to do now, so he got off the horse alone.

"Wait for me in the carriage for a while. I can handle the rest by myself. If you are hungry, you can eat first. You don't have to wait for me."

He turned to the groom, or the butler, and said, "Please take good care of them here. I will be back soon."

As soon as Xu Yeyu finished speaking, he walked into the crowd and disappeared from their sight.

The compass in his hand was broken, but it kept pointing in one direction, which was where their daughter was.

There are a few beggars and vagrants in every county. Some slightly artistic beggars will play the erhu and sing to make a living, but there are more people with physical defects, such as the blind and those who are missing limbs and cannot speak or see the world clearly.

In Luohua County, Xu Yeyu did not see beggars like in other places.

When he went to Luohua County, he often heard the people praising the county magistrate for his good management and bowing their heads to him to ask for help in finding the people's children. He admired the county magistrate very much.

Xu Yeyu held a compass and looked at the two beggars in front of him. One was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with some traces of tears on her dirty face. She was wearing tattered gray cloth and exuded an unbearable sour smell. Her left eye was closed and her right eye was open, so only one eye could see, and her left arm was only a broken arm.

In her right hand she held an old bowl, which was half filled with copper coins and a few taels of silver. She had a hoarse voice and must have been singing a song, but no one could hear what she was singing because her tongue was gone. Seeing such a pitiful little girl, some passers-by stopped to listen and put a few copper coins in her bowl.

The other was an old man with a piece of paper and a bowl in front of him. The paper said that they had encountered an accident and the little girl's parents died in the accident. He asked passers-by to give some food and money.

Xu Yeyu walked up to the little girl and squatted down. He put a copper coin in her bowl and asked, "Are you Qiansui?"

There was a sudden flash of light in Qiansui's right eye. She babbled a few times, and when she realized that no one could understand her, she could only nod.

She is Chitose!

Xu Yeyu reached out and touched Qiansui's head: "I'll take you to find your parents later."

The old man also noticed something was wrong at this time. He originally thought that the person in front of him was just an ordinary passerby who came over to give them copper coins out of pity, but he didn't expect that the little girl actually knew the name of this little girl.

The old man shouted, "What are you talking about? Why are you saying this to my granddaughter? Her parents died a long time ago!"

She wanted to attract the attention of passers-by. If there was any conflict, she could get some people to help her delay her escape.

Xu Yeyu stood up, walked towards the old woman, kicked her to the ground, took out a sword from the storage ring and inserted it into the ground next to her.

Everyone looked at the sword that suddenly appeared in his hand and completely understood that the man in front of them was a monk. They originally thought that this man was bullying the two poor people. Some people with more ideas had already guessed that the old man was a human trafficker.

"Where is your base? You should have other children in your hands. Tell me the truth."

"Immortal, we don't have any base there. I don't understand what you are saying at all!"

The old man’s acting skills were great, worthy of a human trafficker. If Xu Yeyu hadn’t known in advance that the old man was a human trafficker, he would have believed it.

"I'll only give you three seconds. If you don't tell me where your base is after three seconds, this sword will appear on your body."

The old woman panicked. She really didn't expect to be discovered by a monk.

"I will take the Immortal with me, and I only ask the Immortal to spare my life!"

Xu Yeyu retracted his sword. In fact, he could just ask Qiansui directly. She should know where the stronghold was, but he didn't know if these people had other strongholds.

"Lead the way. If you satisfy me, I will spare your life."

Xu Yeyu held Qiansui's hand and followed the old man. After walking for about half an hour, they came to a simple house. The dim light scattered through the tattered gauze curtains, and a damp and moldy smell was smelt.

Xu Yeyu pushed open the door and saw two children shivering in the corner. They didn't get much money today, so they were bound to be beaten.

Before entering the house, Xu Yeyu had asked the old woman if she had any other bases. She said there was only one base, so the old man was no longer here and had been dealt with.

"Chitose, you close your eyes for a moment, too. Children shouldn't look at these, understand?"

Qiansui followed his instructions and closed his eyes again, thinking that although he didn't see anything just now, he still heard the screams.

Xu Yeyu set up a small formation near the two children. They just felt very sleepy, slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The sword in his hand flew out and pierced the two middle-aged men. Although he couldn't fly with the sword, it was still very easy for him to just let the sword fly out and kill two ordinary people.

These two people are human traffickers just like the old man. In Xu Yeyu's eyes, they are just two beasts, and only beasts would do such a thing.

On the way here, Xu Yeyu asked the old man and learned that they had been doing this business for several years and would move to another place every few months.

He asked about the children from the past, and the old man replied that the children who survived to the end were all dealt with by them. Xu Yeyu did not continue to ask how those children were dealt with, after all, there was a little girl next to them.

The mastermind was no longer here. The moment he pushed open the door, someone broke out through the window. That kind of method and reaction was not something an ordinary person could do.

He was a cultivator of a lower realm than him, so that person ran away.

Xu Yeyu remembered what Xia Xiaomo said. Anyone who takes human life lightly cannot be considered a cultivator. He is just a beast in disguise of a cultivator.

A little girl was captured for a few days and lost a hand, an eye, and her tongue. These people are worse than animals.

Xu Yeyu held Qiansui's hand and returned to where the carriage was parked. The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly and cried.

"It's my fault that you became like this. It's my fault that you suffered." The woman said tremblingly.

When the couple first saw Qiansui's appearance, they couldn't believe what she had gone through to become like this. Xu Yeyu knew the reason.

It was because she wanted to escape and was discovered that this happened. The other two children did not dare to escape, so they only suffered some minor injuries.

After the housekeeper confirmed that the remaining two children were the lost children in Luohua County, he gave them some food and then fell asleep in the carriage.

They hadn't slept so soundly in three months.

......

......

Zhang San ran for a distance and looked back, and found that the man had not caught up with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He just happened to get some opportunities and became a cultivator, but he had no talent for cultivation and was stuck in the early stages of Qi Refining.

So he relied on the fact that he was better than ordinary people and started the business of trafficking children. Unexpectedly, he was still found by someone. He didn't even have to think that the monk who just opened the door was here to catch him.

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough and ran away, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, some runes flashed on his body, emitting a faint white light.

This is a formation! When did he set up a formation on someone?

No one answered his question. Flames appeared on the rune and set him on fire. He rolled on the ground in pain, but could not put out the flames no matter what. In the end, he was burned to death.
