Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

The person who came was none other than Liu Dong.

Seeing that Liu Tong could jump three zhang high while holding two big men, the two realized that they hadn't saved her at all; they had just gone to great lengths.

Liu Tong wanted to put the two of them on a tree branch, but they quickly grabbed the branch to avoid falling off the tree.

Liu Tong: "I can't help you much. If you want to leave the village safely, you'll have to rely on yourselves."

Because of the rules, Liu Donglian couldn't even utter words like "rules" or "god".

The two assumed that Liu Dong was an NPC in the instance, so it was normal for her to say such things.

However, this one is definitely a special NPC, and is likely the key to their success.

The two wanted to ask more questions, but Liu Dong stopped them.

"Now is not the time to talk. Come find me again tomorrow."

After saying that, he took out two purses from his pocket and handed them to the two men.

This purse, like the black and red brooch, comes from Hua Xinu and carries her scent.

Over the years, Liu Dong had met Hua Xinu twice and received gifts from her.

After handing over the purse, Liu Dong used her lightness skill to leave, leaving the two players looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This kid is amazing! Is that some kind of light-footed skill? How come an NPC who knows martial arts appears in an ordinary ancient dungeon?" Liu Xueming clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhang Han: "This kid has too many secrets; even his parents probably don't know how amazing he is."

Liu Xueming: "It's obvious. If they had known, those two wouldn't have treated us like our children's saviors."

Zhang Han: "Look, Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu are among that group of monsters."

Liu Xueming followed Zhang Han's gaze and indeed saw his father and mother.

The monsters that had been attacking the tree and trying to break it have left; their presence is now hidden by their wallets.

Zhang Han: "The parents have turned into monsters, but the child is still fine."

Liu Xueming: "We'll go find him first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhang Han: "Let's go back to sleep now."

Otherwise, I won't have the energy to do anything tomorrow.

The two slid down the tree and returned to their original room.

They searched the room and found the extra items, which they then placed outside.

The two of them placed the purses against their chests, pressed them tightly, closed their eyes, and began to sleep.

The next day, Xu Yuan and the others were stunned to see the two living peacefully.

"Weren't you...were you being chased by monsters yesterday?" a player asked in terror.

The two men saw guilt in his terrified expression; this man must know that Li Guangwen had entered their room.

Without naming him, the two mentally added this player to their list of people they would refuse to associate with.

Liu Xueming: "We were lucky; we climbed up the tree and held out until dawn. Those monsters can't climb trees."

Xu Yuan: "Oh."

I don't know if I received a letter or not.

Anyway, every player has secrets, and sensible people won't pry into them.

Xu Yuan asked, "What are you doing today?"

Liu Xueming: "Let's go to the Liu family and continue to help Brother Liu and Sister-in-law Liu with their work."

Xu Yuan and the others knew that the two of them had been helping out at the Liu family's house these past few days, and that the information about the safe house must have come from the Liu family.

Perhaps, what will we gain today?

Xu Yuan: "I'll go with you."

Liu Xueming and Zhang Han exchanged a glance and said, "I don't know if they will welcome you."

Xu Yuan: "It's okay. If you don't welcome me, I'll leave."

Liu Xueming and Zhang Han could only take Xu Yuan to the Liu family home. Liu's parents had already recovered and greeted the two of them warmly.

They didn't say much about the extra person they brought, nor did they ask Xu Yuan to leave.

Liu Xueming asked, "Brother Liu, where is A-Qiang?"

Father Liu: "He's reading inside the house. Go in and find him."

Liu Xueming and Zhang Han arrived outside Liu Qiu's room, knocked on the door, and said, "Qiu, we brought a companion with us. May we let her in?"

Liu Tong: "Come in."

The three people entered the house and saw Liu Dong holding a book in her hand, with several other books beside her.

Liu Dong waved the books in her hands at the three of them and said, "I want to read, so please don't disturb me. Here are some other books; you can take them and read them yourselves."

After saying that, he lowered his head and started reading.

Not daring to disturb Liu Dong, the three of them walked to the table, sat down, and each picked up a book.

The three of them: Perhaps there are some clues in these books.

The three looked down and flipped through the books, discovering that they were not educational books, but rather storybooks.

Three people: "..."

Okay, it's normal for kids to like reading storybooks but not studying.

Perfect timing, I can also read some storybooks to pass the time.

The storybook in Liu Xueming's hand tells of a love story between a human and a flower fairy: a scholar falls in love with a flower fairy, marries her, and lives in seclusion in a small mountain village. A Taoist priest tracks them down to the village and exposes the flower fairy's true identity. The villagers help the priest fight the flower fairy, but accidentally kill the scholar. The flower fairy and the priest perish together, and the flower fairy, now a vengeful ghost, seeks revenge on the villagers. The entire village becomes a ghost village…

Liu Xueming felt a sense of déjà vu.

Liu Xueming looked up and asked the two, "What is the surname of the doctor's wife at the end of the village?"

Xu Yuan replied that she had spoken with the doctor's wife: "Her surname is Hua. What's wrong? Did you discover something?"

Liu Xueming handed the booklet to Xu Yuan.

After Xu Yuan looked at it, she handed it to Zhang Han.

Xu Yuan: "I had suspicions about the two of them before; they didn't seem like people from a small mountain village at all."

Zhang Han: "Could it be that what's described in the booklet is reality?"

Liu Xueming: "Can't we say?"

Xu Yuan: "Shall we go and test the waters?"

The three people stood up.

Startled by their commotion, Liu Dong looked up.

Liu Xueming: "Well, we'd like to go out for a walk."

Liu Dong waved his hand, and the three of them left the room.

They went straight to the end of the village and arrived at the doctor's house.

The doctor and his wife were drying herbs in the yard. When they saw them, they greeted the three of them kindly.

However, the three of them felt that there was something quite off about the doctor, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

Xu Yuan had interacted with the two before, so she went up to talk to them.

The doctor's wife's gaze swept over Liu Xueming and Zhang Han, lingering for a moment on their chests.

The two men felt that the doctor's wife had seen through them.

Just then, another outsider arrived in the village, dressed as a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest went straight to the doctor's house and pointed at the doctor's wife, saying she was a monster.

He was followed by a number of villagers who had come to watch the spectacle, as well as the remaining players.

Liu Dong arrived with his parents. He walked over to Liu Xueming and Zhang Han and asked, "What's your choice? The Taoist priest or the demon?"

Liu Xueming patted Liu Tong's head and asked, "Do you know the Legend of the White Snake?" (End of Chapter)
