Chapter 265: A gambling father, a sick mother, a school-age sister, and a broken girl
"Born!"
Bai Xian'er was so angry that she stamped her feet and said angrily, "Just for tens of thousands of spirit stones, they actually sold their own daughter as a commodity, and even sold her to the Hehuan Sect! It's really... Bah! Birth can't even describe this thing! I'm so angry, ahhhh!!"
Because she was an orphan since childhood, Bai Xianer can especially understand the loneliness of not having the love of her parents.
Every time I watched my fellow sisters and brothers go down the mountain to visit their families after achieving some success in their practice, I was the only one staying alone on the mountain with no one to share my joy.
Even though my master and senior sister are always with me at this time, they can never replace my parents. There is always a small empty place in my heart, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
So now when she heard that her biological father actually sold his daughter to pay for gambling, Bai Xian'er was really...really...so angry that she couldn't speak.
"It's okay, it's all over." Looking at Jin Pin'er who was still shedding little pearls, Bai Xian'er hugged her distressedly and comforted her:
"Don't cry, don't cry. Now you and Miss Liu have escaped from the sea of suffering. Don't worry, if the people from the Hehuan Sect dare to chase us again, let alone me, my Senior Brother Ning will definitely be the first one to not let them go!"
After saying that, Bai Xian'er quickly turned to look at Ning Changge who was standing beside her, "Brother Ning, is that right? Are you the first one who won't let them off?"
"Ah this..." Ning Changge wanted to say something else.
However, after seeing the indignation in Bai Xian'er's eyes and the expectation that he would answer "yes", he did not hesitate any longer, nodded heavily, and pretended to be very angry and said:
"Yeah! I will definitely not let them off first, these people are inferior by birth!"
Bai Xian'er helped Jin Pin'er wipe away her tears and whispered to her like she was coaxing a child: "You may not know who Senior Brother Ning is, but just remember that no one dares to listen to what he says. So, don't cry, okay?"
Jin Pin'er sniffed her dusty nose, her voice still a little tearful: "Wow~ Thank you, Miss Xian'er, and..."
After a pause, she turned to look at Ning Changge, her lips curled slightly, as if she was trying to force a smile:
"And you, Master Ning. My lady and I will never forget your life-saving grace, and we will definitely repay you with gratitude!"
No, did I save you two?
When I arrived here, the bad guys had already disappeared, and Miss Liu was being treated by Xia Xuanyin. It seemed that I had not taken any action from beginning to end...
He felt confused inside, but Ning Changge looked at the gratitude on Jin Pin'er's face and it didn't seem like it was fake.
"Could it be that I really saved them and their servant somewhere, but why can't I remember it?"
This strange thought suddenly popped up in my mind, but in reality Ning Changge smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"It's okay. I think every person with a sense of justice will lend a hand when encountering such an injustice."
"You take a good rest here first. I'll go see how Miss Liu is doing."
After saying that, Ning Changge left on his own and walked towards Xia Xuanyin without waiting for Jin Pin'er to say anything more to express his gratitude.
To be honest, I thought Bai Xian'er was making a big deal out of nothing before, but after half an hour of verbal conversation with Jin Pin'er, I just listened to her talk about her experience.
Ning Changge really felt that these two women had ulterior motives at this moment. There was no other reason, mainly because this experience sounded too similar to the stories of the "tea-selling girls" on the Internet in his previous life.
The summary is just twelve words: "A gambling father, a sick mother, a school-age sister, and a broken girl."
Liu Pin'er (actually Jin Pin'er), a native of the capital of the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the Nanming Territory, and the eldest daughter of the Liu family, would have had a happy childhood.
But when I was six years old, my father became addicted to gambling with spirit stones. Gambling is just like pornography. Once you get addicted, you can't quit. Once you get into it, you're in the abyss.
As a result, she had a painful childhood:
A year after my father became addicted to gambling on spirit stones, my mother was so angry with her husband that she became bedridden and died of grief a few months later.
After two years of being infected, the head of the Liu family was forced to sell his property, including the master and servant, to the Hehuan Sect because they owed too much gambling debt and were forced to return by their creditors.
In the Hehuan Sect, they were not able to get enough food to eat, and every day they had to endure the cold stares from their female fellow disciples and the disgusting looks from their male fellow disciples.
Although their lives were in a mess, they kept themselves clean and remained strong and unyielding. Finally, Miss Liu reached the Nascent Soul stage, and the two of them took the opportunity to escape.
This was also the reason why Miss Liu was seriously injured. The Hehuan Sect sent people to hunt them down. Although they were temporarily driven away, she was seriously injured.
As for why they fled here, the little maid said that Miss Liu's uncle lived in Hong Town, and they were tired of the days of intrigue and wanted to find a mortal town to live in.
"It's a tear-jerking story, but I don't know what the real situation is..."
Ning Changge couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It’s not that I don’t have the same compassion as Bai Xianer.
It's not that I discriminate against the people of Hehuan Sect. After all, there are always women who are forced by life. Even the small Liuyun City has places called "brothels for listening to music".
"It's just that this is a classic story, and the timing and location of their appearance... Never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it. There shouldn't be any demon leader stupid enough to use a honey trap on me."
However, Ning Changge still had a little thought for the master and servant.
After all, it's not that you're afraid of thieves stealing, but you're afraid of thieves thinking about it. If they really want to sleep with you, that would be really no fun.
While thinking whether the two of them really had ulterior motives, Ning Changge walked to Xia Xuanyin's side.
He glanced at Liu Ruyan, who was lying on the ground. Although her face was still very pale, she was much better than before, and said:
"Junior Sister Xia, how is she doing?"
"Fortunately, she received timely treatment, otherwise this girl's cultivation would have been ruined. It's just..." As she spoke, Xia Xuanyin suddenly stopped talking.
Why did they all stop talking halfway through... Ning Changge asked, "What happened?"
Xia Xuanyin looked back at the group of curious kids (the trial disciples) who were staring at this place, then pulled Ning Changge aside and said in a low but extremely serious voice:
"But Senior Brother Ning, when I was treating this girl, I found that the spiritual power in her body was different from ours. It seemed to be from the Demon Cult."
"Oh, you're asking this." Ning Changge repeated exactly what Jin Pin'er had said:
"They were sold to..."
After a while, Xia Xuanyin's eyes turned red:
"They are so pitiful! Senior Brother Ning, if possible, let's help them. I just checked. Although the spiritual energy in Miss Liu's body comes from the Demon Sect, it is very clean without a trace of dirt or blood."
"It's obvious that she achieved this through her own hard training. She has never killed anyone by mistake. They are not bad people by nature."
Ning Changge glanced at Liu Ruyan lying on the ground and thought, "Am I overthinking this? Is this just a coincidence?"
While thinking, Ning Changge nodded and smiled, "Then let's help. We are going to Hong Town anyway, so let's take them along."
"Oh, by the way, when will Miss Liu wake up? Should we go now to treat her injuries?"
"He's seriously injured. He won't wake up for a while." Xia Xuanyin patted his chest and smiled confidently:
"But don't worry, Senior Brother Ning, I'm here. Even if the injury relapses, it won't be a big problem."
Ning Changge rubbed her little head: "Great, much more useful than that girl Xian'er."
Feeling the warmth from the big hand above her head, Xia Xuanyin's face turned slightly red, but she did not push his hand away.
"This, this is what Xuanyin should do..."
......
ps: There were originally several hundred words left about the plot of the Queen, but after thinking about it, I decided to leave it to the next chapter. For now, this plot has ended for the time being, and the main storyline will be promoted later.
