Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

"Yeah, that's right!"

Only then did Xiao Guanxing put down the book, picked up the pastries and started eating them happily.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Rita is here to help you."

She basically spends every day in the study stargazing, which is totally not what her age should be like.

"I don't know how long Grandpa can hold on. I must grow up as soon as possible and become strong enough to support the entire Ming Empire." Little Guanxing shook his head sensibly.

"If my third brother knew how hard Xiao Guanxing worked, his spirit in heaven would probably be very pleased." Yun Ling couldn't help but sigh.

Adopting Guanxing was an accident.

He was originally a fourth-rank commander of the Ming Empire. Because he was involved in some incidents, his three clans were exterminated. In order to save his life, he launched a rebellion.

His third brother was killed when he led troops to suppress the rebellion, and the rebels fled to an unknown place.

When Yun Ling learned about this, he rushed there quickly, but he was still a step too late. Only the hidden little Guanxing was left in the military camp.

Since Guanxing was born in a military camp and the camp was cleared out by rebels, no one knew about this.

Yun Ling recognized that this was his third brother's daughter, and therefore his niece, through the jade pendant of the Third Prince in her arms.

"Hmph, those who use me as a shield have no right to say that." Little Guanxing turned his head away, looking angrily.

Yun Ling did not reveal her true identity, but instead let Guanxing appear in everyone's sight as the daughter of Yun Ling and Rita.

After learning about this, Guanxing would call him by his name whenever there was no one around, as a small revenge.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. If you get angry easily when you are a child, you won't grow tall in the future." Yun Ling pinched Guanxing's little face.

"No way!" Guanxing was very angry, obviously he was very concerned about his height.

After playing with little Guanxing for a while, Yun Ling took away the empty snack plate.

"Rita, you haven't gone to bed yet. Is there something wrong?" Yun Ling looked at Rita's room which was still brightly lit, and couldn't help feeling curious, so he pushed the door open and walked in to ask.

Rita was looking at the file at this moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was worried about something. Seeing Yun Ling coming, she smiled slightly and moved a little to let Yun Ling sit next to her.

"In recent years, there has been a bandit group in Mobei that frequently robs merchant caravans traveling between countries and sells women and children into slavery."

"The Ming Empire has sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times, but in that desert-strewn environment, the complex terrain gives the bandit groups that have been entrenched in Mobei for a long time a natural advantage."

"Not only can they skillfully use the terrain to conceal themselves, but they can also set ambushes based on it."

"And this gang is no ordinary gang. They're as well-trained as an army. Under the command of their leader, scattered raids will lead to their being defeated one by one. Once surrounded, they'll hide like rats..."

Yun Ling lowered his head and thought for a while.

"Why don't I go there?" Yun Ling suggested.

The current situation of the Ming Empire is actually not optimistic. Although the country is strong, it has also attracted the fear of many neighboring countries.

As frictions increased, the Ming Empire had to allocate a large number of troops to garrison on the border.

If the bandit problem in Mobei is not dealt with, it will greatly reduce trade between countries and slowly weaken the national strength of the Ming Empire.

If this continues for a long time, it may pose a huge hidden danger.

"But my husband, your health..." Rita was obviously worried.

Her fingers gently touched the sword scar that spanned the entire body.

"It's not a big deal. At least I can still draw the sword." Yun Ling chuckled.

"Husband, please don't force yourself." Rita knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only remind him.

"Don't worry, who do you think your husband is... cough, cough cough cough..." Yun Ling started coughing violently before she finished her words.

A large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, staining Rita's desk red.

"Oh." Rita stroked her forehead lightly. She was used to this kind of thing.

The next day, Ahua lay on the ground crying and making a fuss.

"I want to go too, I want to go too! I want to go! Ling, take me with you, okay!"

Ah Hua looked at Yun Ling with tears in his eyes.

"I'm not going there to play around..." Yun Ling pinched his brows and thought for a while.

"Just take Ah Hua with you. Going out for a walk occasionally might help her recover her memory." Rita said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I promise."

Helplessly, Yun Ling could only take Ahua with him to Mobei.

"Great! I like Ling the most!" Ah Hua was instantly revived with full health.

Yun Ling took Ahua and flew to Mobei on a sword.

But I didn’t expect that Ahua was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at the scenery below with curiosity.

"Ah~~" Ah Hua opened his mouth towards the oncoming airflow and made a slight trembling sound.

"Be careful or your saliva will flow out." Yun Ling joked.

"No way!" Ah Hua glared at her in shame and anger, and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve without leaving any trace.

But the process of rushing on the road was destined to be boring. Ah Hua soon lost interest in the scenery below. He yawned and fell asleep leaning on Yun Ling.

Yun Ling was also a little worried about whether Ahua could recover.

After recovery, will she be Chiyuan or Ahua?

Will the memory of Ahua still remain in her mind?

None of this is clear yet...

He was very greedy and didn't want to lose either Ahua or Chiyuan.

"We're here." Yun Ling reminded.

"Well... let me sleep a little longer..." Ah Hua rubbed his eyes, looking reluctant to get up.

"I'm really scared of you. Come up." Yun Ling squatted down slightly.

"Hehe." Ahua jumped lightly and landed on his back.

"Let's go!" Ahua shouted to Yun Ling.

Yun Ling carried Ahua on his back and walked forward.

The destination was not far from here. With his extremely strong hearing ability, the gang had nowhere to hide and he easily found their base.

However, it seemed like someone had already arrived here before them.

The girl was light and nimble, and she easily subdued the four bandits.

"Your Jinsha Gang is a little short. Why are there only four of you? Where are the others?"

The girl sat sideways on the back of a big man, tapping the back of his head lightly with her slender fingers and asked.

"I want to hear the truth."

The girl issued a final ultimatum.

Suddenly, the girl raised her eyes and looked at the person coming not far away.

……

Chapter 87 Li Sushang

"Little girl, you came to such a dangerous place alone, aren't you afraid that your family will worry?"

Yun Ling looked at the girl in front of him and the several bandits who had fallen, and couldn't help but become interested.

The girl's skills were quite good and she could easily handle the siege of four bandits.

"Hehe, they are my sword-testing targets. I'm here specifically to kill their leader!" the girl responded enthusiastically.

She observed Yun Ling carefully. Although he had white hair, his face did not look old. Instead, he was extremely handsome. His deep black eyes gave people a sense of vicissitudes of life.

He was carrying a young girl on his back. This strange combination made Li Suchang look at him twice.

"It seems that our goals are the same. Who is your teacher, little girl?" Yun Ling nodded.

"I am Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect. May I ask who you are, Senior..."

Li Sushang became even more curious about Yun Ling. She didn't expect that he was also here to wipe out the Jinsha Gang.

"My sect has long been destroyed, so let's not mention it. Just call me Yun Ling." Yun Ling shook his head.

"Yun Ling...this name sounds a little familiar..." Li Suchang frowned.

She felt like the name was on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't place who it was. She seemed to have heard a storyteller mention it before...

Unfortunately, her little brain was a little confused and she couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time. Fortunately, she stopped thinking about it.

"I wonder what Miss Li got out of these bandits?" Yun Ling asked, seeing that Li Suchang didn't look very smart.

"Not yet. They are quite tight-lipped. Also, you don't have to call me Miss Li. Just call me Su Shang. Miss Li sounds weird." Li Su Shang shook her head.

"Okay, Miss Su Shang, I have some understanding of torture. How about leaving it to me?" Yun Ling suggested.

"Okay!" Li Suchang nodded and agreed without hesitation.

One is the affirmation of his own strength, and the other is that Yun Ling's skin is very white, and he doesn't look like someone who often lives in this desert, so he is most likely not a member of the Jinsha Gang.

Yun Ling put Ahua down, grabbed a bandit at random and started interrogating him.

Not far away, the shrill screams made Li Suchang shudder, and also made the remaining three bandits tremble.

"Did you find out anything?" Li Sushang asked when she saw Yun Ling coming back.

"Don't be impatient." Yun Ling captured another bandit.

When the information you ask is consistent with what the other person says, it is basically confirmed.

"Well, it's almost time. Their leader 'Eagle' is robbing people near the trade route a hundred miles away. He will probably be back in the evening." Yun Ling wiped the blood off his hands with a silk cloth.

"So that's how it is... Then I'll wait here for him to come back, and then kill him, and I can complete my sword test!" Li Suchang said happily.

"Since your master asked you to go down the mountain to test your sword, then you can go and kill these bandits." Yun Ling generously gave her the heads.

"Ah?" Li Suchang opened her mouth slightly and stammered a few words, but no one knew what she was saying.

"Sure enough... I see that the injuries on their bodies are mostly external. I guess Miss Su Shang, you must have held back, right?" Yun Ling expressed his guess.

Li Suchang raised her neck somewhat awkwardly. She was not ready to kill anyone yet.

"It is almost certain that each of these people is responsible for dozens of lives. If we don't kill them, only other innocent people will suffer." Yun Ling reminded.

But Li Suchang hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to take action.

"Forget it, let me do it." Yun Ling casually swung out a few sword energies and killed the four bandits.

Li Sushang was shocked. She didn't expect that this person's cultivation was so high that he could casually release such terrifying sword energy.

Li Suchang thought that she could do it, but she would never be as calm as him.

Yun Ling's appearance instantly shattered her somewhat proud thoughts.

The pungent smell of blood stimulated Li Suchang's brain, causing her to feel a little short of oxygen.

"yue~"

Li Suchang dry heaved.

"You have such a poor mental quality. Doesn't your master worry that you will die outside?" Yun Ling couldn't help but complain when he looked at Li Suchang.

You're still testing the sword like this, aren't you just showing off?

"I'm a very strong girl! A mere leader of the Jinsha Gang will definitely not be able to defeat me!" Li Suchang said confidently.

"Battle is not just a competition of combat power, it also involves mentality, timing, and...strategy." Yun Ling said to Li Sushang in an educational tone.

"Of course, if your strength can crush all opponents, these things will not matter."

"That's exactly what I thought!" Li Suchang immediately smiled happily.

"Ahua, will it be very hot? Let's sit inside." Yun Ling pointed to the Jinsha Gang's village in front.

"Yeah!" Ah Hua nodded without hesitation. She had been wanting to find a place to shelter from the sun for a long time.

"By the way, are these your family members? You brought your family members with you when you came to fight the thief?" Li Sushang looked at the jumping Ah Hua. She looked just like an ordinary girl!
