The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

As the sun set and night fell, Ruobingli waited all day, but the little beggar never returned.

Looking at the weeds blocking the entrance to the hole, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Did they really run off with the necklace?

No longer relying on others, and feeling her strength returning slightly, Ruobingli sat cross-legged in meditation.

……

at the foot of the mountain.

Su Qi squatted on the tree, staring intently at the scene below, his expression incredibly interesting.

"what……"

"Wow……"

"Hiss, looks like I can't use such a large dose next time. It's been a whole day and it still hasn't stopped."

Su Qi was somewhat worried that the wild boar they were fighting might not be able to hold on.

The primal battle between man and beast did not end until the following morning.

Seeing the five men who were already limp, Su Qi jumped down from the tree and disposed of the wild boar's carcass.

Worried that these people might collapse from exhaustion, he thoughtfully channeled some spiritual energy into them.

Once he was sure they weren't dead, Su Qi started messing with himself again.

He made countless red marks on his body, messed up his clothes and hair, and then found a photinia tree by the roadside to let himself be imbued with its fragrance.

Finally, he adjusted his expression to one of deathly despair in front of the mirror, made himself sweat profusely, and began to limp up the mountain.

Back in the cave, after clearing away the weeds blocking the entrance, they saw Ruobingli cultivating.

The latter happened to open his eyes when he heard the noise.

"You...are cultivating? You're a cultivator?"

Su Qi's voice was somewhat hoarse and trembling.

When Ruo Bingli saw Su Qi's face, she was slightly surprised. She obviously did not expect that dirty face would be so pretty.

But when you see Su Qi's disheveled clothes, the red marks on his skin, and the faint scent in the air...

Combined with his stunning appearance, and the fact that he was gone for a whole day and night before returning...

Ruo Bingli's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad feeling.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"I asked you if you are a cultivator?"

Su Qi did not answer her question. Suddenly, he became extremely agitated and threw the medicine in his hand at her.

However, he seemed to be out of form and threw the ball wide.

"So what if it is?" Ruobingli didn't understand why he asked this.

“Cultivators… all deserve to die!” Su Qi picked up a stone from the ground, intending to throw it, but for some reason, he paused and ultimately failed to throw it.

He reverted to his deathly, despairing expression, turned and left without a word.

"and many more……"

If Bingli wanted to catch up and ask what had happened, she would do so.

However, since she had not yet recovered her cultivation level, her legs had gone numb after sitting cross-legged for a day and a night.

By the time she finally made it to the cave entrance, Su Qi had already vanished.

……

In the small town at the foot of the mountain, Su Qi changed his appearance again and came to that tavern once more.

At this moment, there were many people in the tavern who had been there yesterday, and quite a few people were bragging to others about how beautiful the little beggar they had met yesterday was.

Su Qi casually found an empty seat and sat down, first asking the innkeeper for a pot of wine and some food.

Then suddenly interrupted,

"The little beggar you're talking about, is it the one who's about 1.5 meters tall and exceptionally pretty?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!" The boasting drinker slammed his hand on the table.

"Hiss, since we're talking about her, do you know what I saw when I went up the mountain yesterday?" Su Qi asked, looking like a gossipy old lady from the village.

"what did you see?"

“I saw her being dragged into the woods by five men.”

"Hiss... What a beast!"

The drinkers cursed and expressed their deep sorrow.

Are they feeling sorry for the little beggar?

No... they were just upset that they hadn't acted together yesterday.

He then fabricated a few more details about the grove, making everyone's imaginations run wild and causing them to regret even more that they hadn't eaten any meat.

Su Qi then adopted a mysterious demeanor and began to speak about other things.

"By the way, do you know where that little beggar is from?"

"Oh? You knew?"

Su Qi glanced around before lowering his voice to speak.

"That Niu Family Village, corrupted by demonic cultivators and destroyed by righteous cultivators!"

"Hiss... Weren't all the people in Niujia Village dead?"

"Is that the point? The point is whether she has been corrupted by demonic energy. Will our town turn into a village like Niujia Village because of her?"

"What are you afraid of? If there was contamination, those of us who came into contact with her yesterday would have died last night."

"Hiss, do you think it's possible that there were no demonic cultivators at all, but rather that the righteous cultivators took a liking to that little beggar, tried to take him by trickery and force but failed, so in a fit of rage they killed everyone in Niujia Village."

Suddenly, some people started speculating about a conspiracy.

"It is indeed possible. My great-aunt, who is very close to me, had her daughter forcibly taken away by a righteous cultivator."

Hearing the topic veer off course, Su Qi's lips twitched, and he was about to correct it.

Suddenly, I saw two figures supporting each other as they walked in through the doorway.

Hiss... If Su Qi is not mistaken, these two are the five brave men who fought the wild boar for a day and a night, right?

Did they wake up so quickly?

"Shopkeeper, I'm feeling a bit weak today. Bring me some good wine to help me recover."

He slammed a silver ingot heavily on the table; someone had deliberately let them steal it.

Su Qi's eyes darted around, and he slammed his hand on the table, pointing at the two of them.

"It's you!"

He glanced around at the other drinkers.

“They were the ones who dragged that little beggar into the woods yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the two people.

Upon hearing this, the two men showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they described their feelings to others with smug expressions.

As mentioned before, in this dog-eat-dog world, beggars have no human rights.

Then, under someone's deliberate guidance, the news quickly spread throughout the entire town.

After doing all that, he stopped caring.

Although they were just strangers who met by chance, she was still her savior. Once Ruobingli recovers, she will most likely look for the little beggar in the vicinity.

Then, when she finds her way here, she will learn what nightmare this little beggar from Niujia Village, with her tragic past, experienced while trying to buy her medicine.

They would also know that the little beggar hated the cultivators so much because the cultivators had slaughtered his village.

In this way, a seed of guilt will be planted in Ruobingli's heart.

Thinking about this, Su Qi was starting to feel a bit excited.

Not long after, when Qingyun Sect opened its gates to recruit disciples.

What expression would Ruo Bingli have if she saw the missing little beggar appear at the scene?

Let the bullets fly for a while.

I'm a little uneasy, worried about some chosen one who might appear at any moment.

Su Qi decided to return to the mountain to continue his vigil, waiting for Ruo Bingli's cultivation to recover before leaving.

Two more days passed, and the spiritual energy in the deep mountains suddenly fluctuated violently.

Su Qi jumped onto the tree and looked in the direction of the pillar of fortune.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy formed there, instantly draining the surrounding spiritual energy.

They knew that Ruobingli's cultivation had recovered.

Su Qi fled without hesitation.

A Nascent Soul cultivator possesses divine sense; it would be difficult to explain if she caught him.

We arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain and waited.

In fact, Su Qi wasn't sure if Ruo Bingli would come here, after all... she had no sense of direction.

If they don't come, Su Qi will have to activate the second plan.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred. About two hours later, Su Qi saw a pillar of fortune light shooting into the town.

About half an hour later, a huge and heavy pressure suddenly descended, and countless ordinary people on the street were pressed to the ground.

Even Su Qi felt a little breathless under the pressure of this aura.

In the Southern Region, who else but Ruo Bingli, a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm, could feel such oppressive pressure from him, a Nascent Soul cultivator?

It seems she already knows.

Tsk tsk tsk, will she massacre the entire city in a fit of rage?

She's the female lead, after all; she shouldn't do something so heinous.

Su Qi calmly looked in the direction of the pillar of fortune and found that she was moving at an extremely fast speed.

That direction leads to... a tavern!

Not long after, Ruobingli arrived at the location and saw several people flying into the air.

What is this for?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, they saw countless sword energies soar into the sky, instantly turning the group into minced meat.

"Hiss... That's too brutal." Su Qi feigned unbearable pain with a gloating expression, as if it had nothing to do with him.
