Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Li Brothers and Sisters

Looking at this follow-up experience task, Lu Ping fell into contemplation.

The system’s reputation rewards cannot be randomly set; they must be determined based on the task’s difficulty. In this light, it’s not impossible to complete this follow-up task in passing.

Don’t forget, there is an Elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect stationed in Guangde County. Joining forces with this Elder to resist the enemy shouldn’t be a big problem.

After all, since we’re already here.

"Dad, I found the storage bag."

As Lu Ping was pondering, Lu Changfeng’s voice came through communication: "What should we do next?"

He wanted to ask if Lu Ping could return home to heal his wounds; he also wanted to see Lu Ping.

"Retreat for now."

Lu Ping instructed: "Return to the Cyan Mountain Sect."

Guangde County is just over two hundred miles from Tide Sound Town, which isn’t far for a cultivator.

Having slain Wu Heng and triggered the follow-up experience task, learning that there were still three demon cultivators lurking in Guangde County, Lu Ping couldn’t help but worry whether remaining in Tide Sound Town was safe.

Who could guarantee that the demon cultivators from the Demon Cave won’t find out about their fellow’s death and trace it here?

Lu Changfeng’s magical power was greatly depleted, and Song Minghui was injured.

The combat power of this four-person team was no longer suitable for another battle. It’s best to return to the sect to recuperate.

The affairs in Guangde County could be left to Zhiwei or other disciples to handle.

Before leaving, they gathered a group of villagers to inform them that the demon cultivator in the town had been eliminated, allowing everyone to live in peace.

The villagers erupted in cheers upon receiving the news, silently noting the Cyan Mountain Sect’s kindness while following Lu Changfeng and others to inspect the town’s situation.

After a round of investigation, it was found that today alone, more than a dozen households had fallen victim to Wu Heng’s malevolence.

Including Wu Heng’s previous misdeeds, a total of thirty-six households in Tide Sound Town had suffered, with the number of deaths from sacrificial refining reaching two hundred and forty-three.

This time Wu Heng’s chaos caused the villagers to beat their chests and curse his wickedness.

Finally, in the home of one victim, an empty water jar contained a pair of young children.

Upon being rescued, the young children, seeing the gathered villagers, immediately clung to the village elder, sobbing, evidently terrified.

Through inquiry, Lu Changfeng learned that the children were surnamed Li.

The girl was called Li Weimiao, and the boy was called Li Weixiao.

The two children had just turned six this year and were a pair of dragon and phoenix twins from the Li family—whose father was a well-known teacher in the town, unfortunately killed by the demon cultivator this time.

The Li family had only these two children as the sole survivors.

The crowd comforted them for a long time until the two little ones cried themselves weary, eventually calming down.

"Alas, poor Li family."

Seeing the young children losing their family at such a tender age, the village elder felt a wave of sadness.

Having lost their caregiver, the villagers began to discuss what should become of the two young children. Being so small and alone, with no one to look after them, was truly heart-wrenching.

Someone suggested that the villagers take turns fostering them, relying on the ’hundred-family meals’ to grow up, while another proposed that if anyone took a liking to them, they should take them home and care for them as their own, as an act of kindness.

Listening to the villagers’ discussions, the Li brothers and sisters, scared, could only clasp each other’s hands, continuously wiping their tears away.

Song Minghui, unable to bear watching any longer, felt a pang in her heart and said to Lu Changfeng: "Elder, I see that the sect lacks some maids for laundry and cooking. These two children are pitiable, with no one to rely on. Why not take them back to the sect?"

"Yes, Elder, these two children seem quite clever. They might possess spirit roots and could cultivate with us in the future."

Zhang Nianchuan chimed in.

Lin Han said nothing but showed an expectant expression.

Having seen the vast universe, they still felt compassion for the green of plants.

The tearful and helpless appearance of the Li siblings touched a vulnerable part of their hearts, stirring pity.

"If the Immortal Master is willing to take in these children, that would be wonderful."

Seeing that no villagers were intending to adopt, the village elder hastily pleaded, disregarding his pride. As long as the Cyan Mountain Sect was willing to accept the well-behaved and sensible siblings, he would be relieved.

"Take them in; perhaps they’ll be promising candidates for cultivation."

As Lu Changfeng hesitated, Lu Ping’s voice came through.

The Cyan Mountain Sect needed disciples and recruitment; bringing these children back to the sect and educating them from a young age could instill a sense of belonging to the sect.

As for pitying them, Lu Ping had some sympathy. Don’t forget, he himself is a father.

Receiving Lu Ping’s order, Lu Changfeng, already inclined, naturally would not refuse.

"Children, your family has gone to another world and won’t be returning for a long time. You should try to understand and not let them worry."

"Do you want to come with us to the Cyan Mountain Sect and live with us?"

Lu Changfeng patted Li Weixiao’s head and looked at the nervous Li Weimiao. At first glance, he found them quite endearing.

Although the Cyan Mountain Sect was struggling, raising two children to adulthood was no problem at all.

The siblings gripped each other’s hands tightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, looked at the villagers, then at Lu Yuanshan and Song Minghui.

"Children, go ahead."

"Following us, you’ll endure hardship. But at the Immortal Sect, you’ll lead much better lives and have the chance to stand out."

"..."

Some elderly villagers spoke softly, full of affection and reluctance.

Under everyone’s gaze, Li Weixiao silently nodded first. Seeing her brother nod, Li Weimiao followed suit.

The matter of the children was settled, and as for the victims killed by the demon cultivator, the villagers promised to take care and properly bury them in the coming days.

With things reaching this point, Lu Changfeng and his group prepared to leave. As far as morality was concerned, this was all they could do.

As for assigning Cyan Mountain Sect disciples to guard Tide Sound Town, the sect didn’t have enough manpower, and even if they did, they would be powerless.

This further inspired Song Minghui and others to pursue the revival of the sect, determined to develop and strengthen the Cyan Mountain Sect, protecting more mundane towns and ensuring the tranquility of the area.

Leaving Tide Sound Town with the Li siblings, who glanced back with every step, the group headed back to the Cyan Mountain Sect without a moment’s delay.

They first arranged for disciples to take the Li siblings to rest and fill their bellies. Lu Changfeng then returned alone to meet Lu Yuanshan and report the extermination of the demon cultivator, also mentioning Lu Ping’s assistance.

Upon hearing his younger brother mention Lu Ping, Lu Yuanshan felt a little embarrassed.

Not for any particular reason, but because since Lu Ping woke up, he was the first to know, followed by their little sister, and lastly...his second brother, Lu Changfeng.

As the eldest brother, to keep the news of father waking up hidden for so long and only allowing Lu Changfeng to find out now, Lu Yuanshan naturally felt a bit awkward.
