Chapter 463: Chapter 11: Taoist Sect Breaks Rules Frequently to Transfer Powers, Guan Yi Must Kill This Person_4

He carried a hint of doubt, smiling as he said, "Lady Hua Rui?"

The man seemed somewhat proud as he replied, "Yes, you might not know this, but Lady Hua Rui is an incomparably beautiful woman. Moreover, she’s extremely kind-hearted. She knows the hardships of the common people, and there are many families that do not know how to support a daughter when they have one."

"Lady Hua Rui is willing to adopt these girls," he added.

"She even teaches them singing, dancing, and music. Who doesn’t know this?

"It is said that for the past thirty years, Lady Hua Rui’s appearance hasn’t changed at all, still as beautiful as a woman in her twenties..."

"Everyone says it’s because she is kind-hearted, so the gods in heaven protect her."

A chill flashed through Li Guanyi’s eyes.

Adopting young girls...

He probably guessed what this woman was adopting the girls for.

Li Guanyi looked around and saw that those who came here were daughters of poor families; their faces were clean, dressed in their best clothes, their eyes innocent yet filled with hope, fear, and longing. They spoke of Lady Hua Rui’s kindness.

Hoping for a stable life.

If that were the case, that would be great.

They were all full of life, someone’s daughter, another’s sister, the neighbor’s girl, the dream of some young man.

Suddenly, Li Guanyi remembered the letter he found in the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect.

The words "Human Elixir" next to these innocent and timidly smiling faces suddenly became extremely glaring. Rumbling like the roar of dragons and tigers that could not be controlled, discomfort sharpening his fangs and claws at Li Guanyi’s side.

Li Guanyi lowered his gaze.

"One hundred and sixty-six pure Yin girls born on Yin days, Yin months, and Yin years, the fresh blood spurting at the moment of deflowering decapitation, boiled down to preserve her appearance uncorrupted and undecaying for one year."

"Thirty years."

He was the young warrior who had fought his way out from a pile of corpses and seas of blood.

Already regarded as a future great general.

At this moment, however, he felt a desire to vomit.

Li Guanyi suppressed his murderous intent, needing to ascertain her identity and position before taking action.

He was no longer as reckless as before.

With a smile, he bid farewell to the others, sat in a bullock cart, and Shaking Light quietly sat there, looking somewhat tired. Li Guanyi thought about it, and seeing a stall selling sugary water ahead, thought that replenishing some sugar would make her feel much better.

He definitely pulled the girl off, then went into the sugar water shop.

He ordered two servings of sweet potato sugar water and some pastries.

Zhenbei Pass, Heroic City, near the border, so there were many strong and brave people around. There weren’t many main farming towns around, so most products had to be transported from other places, and the cost of goods had risen by thirty percent compared to the previous month.

Li Guanyi pinched his coin purse.

It had lightened considerably.

This month, having not encountered any bandits or thieves, his purse had deflated quite a bit.

Need to make some money now.

Elder Xue, I miss you!

Thinking this, Li Guanyi wiped the spoon and passed it to the dazed girl sitting across from him. Shaking Light was wearing a hood, lowered her head to drink the sugary water with slow movements because she was too tired; the girl hadn’t activated her usual Mystical Skills to mask her Qi Mechanism and appearance.

At least it hadn’t reached the level where she could make others overlook her presence like usual.

Li Guanyi placed his pine pattern ancient sword on the table.

Much quieter now.

The young man tried to cheer up Shaking Light with some jokes, then suddenly sensed someone approaching—a nanny, hurriedly running over from beside a luxurious carriage. Seeing only the chin of Shaking Light, her eyes still lit up, and she hurriedly said:

"This young girl, are you also here to attend Miss Hua Rui’s grand meeting?"

"Of a truly beautiful appearance, quick, come, there’s no need to compete."

"Quickly follow nanny, the Lady wishes to adopt you as her god-daughter."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the girl’s wrist.

She did not even let her come within three feet.

Suddenly, a sword sound, the pine pattern ancient sword unsheathed, pressing against the nanny’s wrist.

A bone-chilling killing intent surged.

The young Taoist’s eyes turned cold, his murderous intent vast as the sea.

"Scram."
