Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 494 World 94

Seeing that none of her three disciples had been fooled by the burly man, Ruoshui withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and looked at the male protagonist.

"You say the jade pendant is yours, is there any special mark on it?"

The male protagonist immediately said, "Yes, my name is engraved on it."

Ruoshui stopped the male protagonist from speaking further and asked the burly man again, "Do you know?"

The burly man, of course, had no idea that he had simply seen the jade pendant hanging around the male protagonist's neck by chance and had decided to snatch it.

He couldn't answer at this moment, and knowing that Ruoshui's abilities were beyond what the three of them could handle, large beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Now, without the male protagonist needing to produce the jade token to prove it, everyone around understood that the burly man was the thief who tried to rob someone in the street.

As the burly man fled in defeat, many people glanced at the male protagonist with flickering eyes.

The male protagonist sensed something was wrong. Seeing that Ruoshui was no longer paying attention to him, she went directly to her disciples, thanked them, and ran away.

Yinyin was somewhat surprised, yet felt it made sense.

According to conventional thinking, the male protagonist should have rushed up to beg for a master's apprenticeship and then been accepted by the master.

But this is a normal reaction. An orphan who survived a massacre of his family cannot easily trust someone, especially not someone with such a fleeting act of kindness.

However, Yin Yin also noticed that after the male protagonist left, several people followed him in tacit agreement, while others thought they were secretly keeping an eye on them.

“Master,” Jingyue couldn’t help but ask as she saw Yinyin clinging to Xuanguang, “Shall we go for a walk somewhere else?”

The three of them traveled and played along the way, buying a lot of food, toys and other items. Their generous spending attracted even more attention.

A kind-hearted stall owner cautiously reminded them: "Girls, it seems like you're being watched. Don't go to secluded places."

"Thank you, sir," Ruoshui replied, and continued to act as before.

Yinyin had now been transferred from the eldest brother's arms to the second brother's.

Jingyue held her like a butterfly, looking here and there, asking Yinyin if she liked anything and if she wanted to buy it.

Yinyin glanced at it and shook her head: "The one my second senior brother made for me looks better than this."

With just that one sentence, Jingyue beamed with joy and promised repeatedly, "I'll make you another one when we get back. Didn't you want a rocking horse before? I'll make you one too, and maybe one that can fly, okay?"

A flying rocking horse?

Yinyin's eyes lit up, and she presented a sticker: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother!"

Jingyue felt lightheaded and lost in thought, unaware of the time. When she came to her senses, she glanced triumphantly at Xuanguang, deliberately picked up Yinyin and put her on her shoulder, then pulled her hand and ran forward.

Yin Yin's personality has become more childlike due to her age, and her silvery laughter carried far as she played with him.

Ruoshui gently shook her head and followed Xuanguang.

Yinyin and Jingyue played too wildly during the day, and started to feel sleepy before nightfall.

Although they were wealthy, they did not stay at an inn, but instead rushed out of the city before the city gate, intending to find a secluded place with few people around.

"Senior brother," Yin Yin rubbed her eyes on Xuan Guang's shoulder and looked behind her, "those people have been following us all day, aren't they tired?"

Xuan Guang glanced back and said, "Ignore them. They'll run away on their own in a bit."

The bandits following Yin Yin and the others were unaware that Xuan Guang had given them such an evaluation. Seeing that the group had arrived in this desolate wilderness, they all praised them in their hearts for being sensible and knowing how to save them the trouble of dealing with things afterward.

The leader of the bandits was the burly man who had a falling out with the male protagonist during the day, but was stopped by Ruoshui.

He made such a huge fool of himself before, of course he wants to get revenge.

The male protagonist is a beggar. If he's determined to find someone, he'll definitely succeed. On the other hand, Yin Yin and her group are strangers who are rich and might leave at any time. Of course, he should take the opportunity to do something big first.

Seeing that Yinyin and the others stopped moving forward, the burly man made a gesture and was calling for his men to close the encirclement and move forward. They were almost behind the four of them when they saw a house suddenly rise from the flat ground.

Building a house on flat ground?

Yinyin looked at the group of burly men whose pupils had widened in shock with amusement, gave a slightly wicked smile, and asked in a clear voice, "Are you here as guests? Once you're here, you can't leave!"

This place is in a remote location and was originally only lit by moonlight, but now it is illuminated by red lanterns hanging on the houses.

The red glow of the lanterns, combined with the howling wind like ghosts, and Yin Yin's expression and words, amplified the terror.

The burly man and his men unconsciously stepped back, their faces bearing awkward, ingratiating smiles: "No, no, no, we're not guests. We just saw you walking through such a remote place and were worried something might happen, so we came to escort you."

"I see," Yin Yin said, glancing at the knives in their hands.

Before she could say anything, the burly men and others quickly hid behind their backs if they could, and those who couldn't simply let go, the knives falling to the ground, and the cold glint of the weapons was no longer visible.

When Ruoshui and the other two turned around, the burly man and his companions could no longer stand and ran away as fast as they could.

Yinyin said with some regret, "I hadn't finished speaking yet, why did you run away?"

"They must have been scared away by Senior Brother's cold face," Jingyue teased Xuanguang fearlessly. "Senior Brother, why don't you smile?"

Xuan Guang glanced over, and Jing Yue immediately shut up.

Yinyin hid her face where Jingyue couldn't see, pretending to be asleep, but her shrugging shoulders betrayed the fact that she wasn't asleep at all, but was laughing silently.

Jingyue pouted, but couldn't bear to expose her, so she could only reach out and tug at the red ribbon on her head.

Xuan Guang saw that although he was being mischievous, he hadn't used much force and hadn't even loosened the knot in his hair tie, so he left him alone.

The three apprentices were having a great time when Ruoshui glanced discreetly behind a tree before reminding them, "Aren't you all sleepy?"

The group then pushed open the door and entered the house. In just a moment, a thick fog rose in the woods surrounding the house. Even if the burly man brought more people over, he would definitely not be able to find the place.

Because the group bought a lot of things, the house was also decorated nicely. For example, in Yinyin's room, there was an extra set of dough figurines, and the window screens were replaced with lighter ones.

After all, the house is warm in winter and cool in summer, so there is no need for special insulation measures.

Yinyin was indeed sleepy. After Xuanguang helped her wash up, she could barely keep her eyes open and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

When I woke up, it was already bright outside, and I could hear the sound of Xuan Guang practicing his sword outside.

Yinyin put on her shoes, pushed open the door, and went to find her senior brother.

Seeing that Yin Yin had gotten up, Xuan Guang finished practicing the last few moves, then sheathed his sword and began to instruct Yin Yin on how to practice horse stance.

Jingyue pushed open the door, took only two steps this way, and before she could even call out, she quickly retreated as if she hadn't seen anything.

Jingyue specializes in formations and spells, but is terrible at physical arts. She'll delay practicing things like horse stance as much as possible.

Yin Yin wasn't going to tolerate his bad habits. If he mastered physical skills, wouldn't he be better off? She immediately complained to Xuan Guang, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother ran away!"

Although Jingyue returned to her room, she still kept an eye on the situation here: "Yinyin, you little rascal! I'm not making you a rocking horse anymore!"

Yin Yin puffed out her cheeks and urged Xuan Guang, "Second Senior Brother has fallen behind on a lot of homework. Eldest Senior Brother, you should take care of him."

Logically, Xuan Guang, as the senior brother, shouldn't interfere in the "battle of magic" between his junior brothers and sisters. But what could he do? His junior sister was adorable, and his junior brother was indeed too lazy, so he wanted to teach him a lesson.

Xuan Guang readily agreed and dragged Jing Yue out, making him practice miserably for an hour before letting him go.

Jingyue looked at Yinyin dangling in front of her and a wicked thought arose in her mind. Just as she was about to pinch her little face as revenge, she saw her master come in from outside the door, accompanied by a familiar-looking little beggar.

Yinyin turned around following his gaze and just then heard Ruoshui say something.

"This is my newly accepted disciple, he will be your junior brother from now on."
