"What kind of person is he? Isn't Senior Li a good person?" Bai Lingmiao seemed a little unhappy, feeling that her belongings were being slandered.

"He..." Xiaoman hesitated, "Do you really think Senior Li has no problems? If he has no problems, then why did the Lamehead catch him as a guinea pig?"

The room fell silent. In fact, after being together for so long, everyone knew everything about each other. Compared to other people's physical problems, Li Huowang's mental problems were more difficult to deal with. But everyone deliberately avoided this topic.

Bai Lingmiao's expression was a little dim. "So what? If he's like that, can I do any better? At home, everyone calls me 'White Demon', and others are afraid when they see me. But Senior Li never looks down on me, and he even saved me several times."

"I can't believe I, someone like me, could find Senior Li. I'm already very happy that he doesn't dislike me."

Seeing this, Xiaoman stopped persuading her and just sighed lightly. "Go to sleep."

The bedroom gradually quieted down, leaving only the faint breathing of the two.

When Xiaoman heard the breathing behind her gradually become shallow, she turned around and looked at the delicate girl in front of her. She reached out and gently stroked the girl's cheek, feeling the texture like a freshly boiled egg, making her feel very obsessed.

"I...know...don't rush me..." Bai Lingmiao muttered in a daze.

Xiaoman's eyebrows, hidden under her thick hair, furrowed slightly, and her cheek quietly leaned in.

"Bang!" The sound of the door being kicked open suddenly made Xiaoman sit up instantly. She pulled out a dagger from under the pillow and stood in front of Bai Lingmiao.

"Senior Li? Did you come down from the mountain?" she asked in surprise, looking at the young man in front of her.

It was Li Huowang, who had just come down from Henghua Mountain.

"Where's Jinzi?" Li Huowang asked concisely.

"He's with... Gao Zhijian."

Li Huowang glanced at Bai Lingmiao, who was still half-asleep, and turned to go to the other guest room.

"What's going on? Who came?" Bai Lingmiao sat up groggily.

Xiaoman gently hugged her and lay her back down, softly saying, "It's okay, go back to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Xiaoman led Bai Lingmiao to another guest room and saw Li Huowang there.

She noticed the yellow mud at his feet, which seemed to indicate that he had been running around outside all night for some reason.

"You're here. Sit down. I'll tell you about the rest of the trip." Xiaoman saw Li Huowang unfold a map.

"This is where we're going next. I need to get something from there first, and after that, I'll take you home."

After speaking, Li Huowang didn't wait for anyone else to express their opinions, he rolled up the map and walked out of the room. "Pack your things. We'll leave this afternoon."

"Senior Li! What happened on the mountain? Is it dangerous where we're going?" Bai Lingmiao quickly followed him, while Xiaoman asked the others, "What's going on? What is Senior Li doing? Why did he come back?"

"I don't know. Senior Li never consults us. It's rare enough that he warned us in advance today," said Doggie, his face twisted in a grimace.

"Let's just go if we're going. Why are you making that expression?" As soon as this was said, tears streamed down Doggie's face."Senior Brother Li gave away all the gold, nothing left! If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to the brothel earlier. I should have bought a wife first!"

"What?! He gave it all away? Don't you guys stop him from doing such things? You know he has mental problems!" Little Man exclaimed anxiously.

"I did stop him! I stopped him all the way when he was delivering the gold yesterday! But I can only stop him so much."

Little Man turned and rushed outside, but it was destined to be in vain. After not sleeping all night, the gold had already been delivered to An Ci Temple.

"Don't worry, I kept some of the travel expenses for the road."

With a heavy heart, Little Man and the others set off on their journey again. They had no say in this matter.

The water bandit was killed by Li Huowang, and the gold was taken by him. No one had the right to stop him from giving it away.

It was just that the extreme contrast of going from rich to poor was difficult to adapt to.

Little Man opened her eyes and looked at Li Huowang, who was sitting by the campfire, looking at the red bamboo slips like a statue. She quietly got out of bed and walked towards the misty forest.

Arriving at a quiet meadow, Little Man took out a book and a long knife from her waist and began to practice according to the book.

The blade swung through the air, although it looked unfamiliar, Little Man's eyes were firm and she learned very seriously.

"Whoosh~" The blade stopped, and she was startled when she saw Li Huowang being pointed at by the tip of the knife.

Li Huowang was still Li Huowang, his face above his scarred neck was full of exhaustion.

"Where did this book come from?" Li Huowang walked over, picked up the book from the ground, and flipped through it. There were only some little people holding swords on it, without any words, it looked like a sword manual.

"You said before that we should buy what we want. So I went to find a guard from the escort and exchanged it with him for the gold." Little Man replied.

"Nowadays, the guards who can be escorts are all skilled. I paid a high price for it, it's real."

Then, Little Man smiled softly, "After you killed my father, I thought, if I had a knife at the time, would he dare to sell me and my sister? So I want to become stronger, to protect myself and others."

Hearing Little Man's words, Li Huowang silently nodded and turned to walk towards the campfire.

Little Man hesitated as she watched his back, and finally gritted her teeth and shouted, "Senior Brother Li, Bai Shimei truly cares for you. Please don't let her down!"

Li Huowang didn't stop, he strode towards the edge of the forest. "Let others read this book too, maybe they can learn something."

Stopping and starting along the way, although there was a carriage, they still walked for several days to cover the two hundred miles.

When they were about to reach their destination, Li Huowang and the others settled in the nearest village.

In a small farmhouse, the bored others were playing cards while Gouwa asked Sun Baolu why Li Huowang hadn't been seen all day. "Where did Senior Brother Li go? Why haven't we seen him all day? We're almost there, why is he still here? This is not like him."
