The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

There were two pancakes, but Mu Haochen only ate one.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to."

"If you believe me, I'll see you here at 5:00 AM in the evening."

Gu Junming took out a clean handkerchief and kindly helped Mu Haochen wipe the dust off his face. Driven by instinct, Mu Haochen nodded blankly.

Seeing this, Gu Junming also smiled sincerely, turned around and left with everyone.

Seeing that the kind-hearted person who gave him food had gone far away, Mu Haochen wrapped the remaining pancake in yellow paper and looked around vigilantly.

Turn around and run back the same way you came.

soon.

He dragged his broken body and limped to a simple, uninhabited house.

After looking back nervously again, he finally made up his mind.

Gently opened the door...

squeak-

An old and dull smell hit me, filling the entire room.

The first thing that catches your eye is the dappled sunlight filtering through the cracks in the dilapidated roof.

It looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.

Dust covered every inch of the ground, and even the ceiling beams and corners were occupied by cobwebs.

There was some dry straw piled up in the house.

Behind a row of straw piles standing on pillars, there is a small piece of relatively flat land.

A piece of tattered cloth was spread on the ground.

And on the cloth, there lay a woman with pale lips and weak breathing.

As the door slowly opened.

The soft, sharp creaking of rusty hinges pierced the silence.

Yu Xiaoyao was awakened by the sudden noise. She forced her tired eyes open and looked around cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

Rustle, rustle...

The upright straw shook.

Yu Xiaoyao supported herself and slowly stood up, tightly grasping the dagger hidden in her sleeve in her right hand.

Keep your eyes fixed forward at all times.

As long as that evil cultivator appears, she will not let him get what he wants even at the cost of her life!

"Sister, it's me."

Yu Xiaoyao was stunned when she heard the voice.

Then his gaze shifted downwards, locking onto Mu Haochen, a man of short stature, not even as tall as a table leg.

Her tense expression slowly relaxed, and she instantly collapsed to the ground, saying with immense relief:

"Huh, huh... Glad it's you."

bang-

The dagger fell from her sleeve. Yu Xiaoyao covered her heart and breathed deeply with difficulty.

"Sister! Are you okay?!"

Mu Haochen hurried over to check the situation.

Yu Xiaoyao shook her head slightly. Although the fear in her heart had not completely disappeared, she still forced a smile so as not to worry Mu Haochen.

"Scared me."

Mu Haochen patted his chest and let out a sigh. Then, as if remembering something, he took out something wrapped in yellow paper from behind him and asked, "You must be hungry, right?"

"I met a kind man who gave me some food."

Mu Haochen opened the four corners of the package little by little, revealing the golden-brown pancake inside.

"My second sister told me that if you're in a bad mood, just eat something."

"I've already eaten it. This piece is for my sister. I haven't touched it!"

"Ahem...Thank you, Haochen."

Yu Xiaoyao gently pushed the pancake back and said, "Sister is not hungry, you can eat it."

Mu Haochen seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head, looking at a loss.

"I really haven't touched it! I can swear!"

Seeing the serious expression on Mu Haochen's face, Yu Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, feeling that she had to prove something in order not to hurt the feelings of this little benefactor.

"How about we each take half?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yu Xiaoyao didn’t have much appetite, so she simply took two bites and packed up the food.

On the other hand, Mu Haochen was sitting in a corner far away from her, eating with such relish.

"It's almost time. Wei Zhou and Qi Chuan are still in the dark. We need to tell them the truth as soon as possible."

Yu Xiaoyao closed her eyes and looked inward, feeling her current physical condition.

Like Wei Zhou and Qi Chuan, she is a low-level cultivator, but overall she is much weaker.

Apart from being able to perform the initial stage of guiding spirits into the body, he knows nothing else.

Not so much a monk.

It’s not that it was a coincidence that I accidentally received the favor of the Immortal Yu and luckily embarked on the path to immortality.

In fact, he is not even as good as Mu Haochen, a warrior.

At this time, Yu Xiaoyao had lost one third of her energy and blood and was extremely weak.

It can be said that she is very lucky.

The situation was originally doomed to fail, but the evil cultivator's formation was disrupted by the joining of a little beggar. The evil cultivator was not only timid as a mouse, but also injured.

Out of caution, the evil cultivator planned to sneak into the dark to observe the situation first, but he didn't expect...

That little beggar looked frail and had crippled lower limbs, but he was actually a martial artist?!

He is also a warrior who runs very fast.

In just a moment, the little beggar fled the scene carrying the unconscious Yu Xiaoyao on his back.

The cooked duck flew away right before his eyes, and Mo Xinren, whose true face was exposed, was very angry.

"Haochen, I plan to go back to find my friend."

Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Can you help report the appearance of the evil cultivator to the Righteous Alliance?"

"...Sister Xiaoyao, it's not that I don't want to help you."

Mu Haochen still had some unswallowed food in his mouth. He pursed his lips and said bitterly, "If I go there like this, I'll probably just be despised. Besides... no one would be willing to believe what a cripple says, right?"

Mu Haochen felt sad when he thought of the scene of being humiliated by someone pinching his nose.

It is true that he was at fault for hitting someone.

But it was only today that he mastered the basics of the "Heaven-Stealing Leg Skill" passed down from generation to generation in his family.

This also caused a lot of trouble to others.

"Don't be so mean to yourself."

Yu Xiaoyao suddenly stood up and was about to give some encouragement when she felt a strong dizziness in her head. She subconsciously stopped by the wall, holding her forehead with her hands, and almost fell down.

"Sister Xiaoyao, you should lie down and have a good rest." Mu Haochen looked worried.

Because of the missing lower limbs.

Mu Haochen had to raise his head to see Yu Xiaoyao's almost sickly pale face and bloodless thin lips.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Yu Xiaoyao shook her head vigorously.

After the dizziness subsided, her voice was weak but seemed particularly firm:

"My friends are still waiting for me, and I can't just watch them fall into the devil's mouth."

"Haochen, please do me one more favor..."

"Get me out of here."

Mu Haochen turned his eyes away, making a difficult decision in his heart... Should he help or not?

My knees are still aching slightly. The main condition for activating the Heaven-Stealing Divine Kick is below the knee. If I continue to force it, I won’t lose the only remaining thigh in the end, right?

"Haochen, please."

"Well, then..." Mu Haochen's voice weakened, "If you don't go to the Zhengmeng."

Yu Xiaoyao's eyes lit up with joy, and she immediately made concessions, threatening that as long as she was taken back to her friends, she would handle the rest herself.

"There's no time to lose, let's hurry..."

"I don't think you can go anywhere."
