Chapter 1822 Bandits
"Bandits?" Yun Lintian responded with a strange expression.
"Yes. Many people have been coming here in the last few days. They don't appear to be locals here. They should come here to find treasures and take advantage of the opportunity to rob people." The middle-aged man said.
He paused briefly to look at Yun Lintian and everyone before continuing. "You have two children and a cute pet with you. Clearly, you cannot be a bandit. I don't want you to encounter a disaster."
Yun Lintian glanced at Hongyue and saw the latter pout. Without a doubt, the other child besides Qingqing was Hongyue. If the uncle knew she was a genuine God Emperor, he would probably be scared witless.
"Thank you for sharing this with us." Yun Lintian replied politely.
"Although the city has just experienced the war, the security here is still good. You will be fine as long as you stay inside the city." The middle-aged man smiled and walked away.
"Those people probably thought it was a good time to come here." Yun Lintian shook his head.
Disasters were rampant in the Western and Northern Divine Regions, yet these people never ceased their pursuit of wealth in troubled times.
Yun Lintian didn't say anything else and strolled around the city. Despite the recent war, many shops in the city had already reopened.
Yun Lintian discovered that there were countless high-quality medicinal ingredients being sold here. Some of them were extremely rare, but they were actually available here.
Without hesitation, Yun Lintian purchased everything he lacked and intended to cultivate them in the Land of Beyond Heaven.
His extravagant spending habits attracted the attention of the people in the area. Among them, there was a group of four men who were dressed relatively well. These people gazed at Yun Lintian with a touch of greed.
"Should we do it?" One of them asked, using a sound transmission.
In his opinion, Yun Lintian was simply a young master from a wealthy family. No one around him looked powerful, either. They appeared to be Divine Kings at most.
"Let's wait and see first. Since he dares to flaunt his wealth so openly, he must be confident in his safety." A group leader responded.
No one said anything else, and they silently walked away.
"There are some rats over there," Qingqing spoke as she licked a lollipop.
Yun Lintian naturally noticed those people, but he didn't care. "Let them be."
After making all his purchases, Yun Lintian found an inn to stay in and took out the maple leaf that Bai Xue had given him.
Suddenly, the maple leaf glowed with a green light and spun in the air. A moment later, it stopped, and its tip was pointing east.
"It's really a coincidence," Hongyue spoke. "You actually met someone from one of the most mysterious places, like the Maya Forest inside the Sea of the Stars. Sometimes, I wondered if this was his arrangement again."
"It should really be a coincidence." Yun Lintian said as he put the maple leaf away. "Let's stay overnight and leave in the morning."
Hongyue and the others had no objections and went to their respective rooms.
"Did you find something?" Yun Lintian looked at Lauya and asked. He noticed that she appeared to be preoccupied with something.
Lauya frowned slightly and said. "I always feel like someone is calling me, but I can't connect with that person."
Yun Lintian was surprised. "Well, we will find out tomorrow."
Lauya didn't say anything else and went to bed. Although she didn't need to sleep, Yun Lintian's sleeping behavior still affected her. She would take a nap whenever she had free time.
Yun Lintian gently persuaded Linlin and Qingqing to sleep, then sighed as he looked out the window. He naturally noticed the presence of the four people he met previously.
"Forget it." Yun Lintian shook his head and went to sleep. He didn't want to kill those people today.
The four bandits glanced at each other with doubt when they witnessed Yun Lintian's peculiar behavior earlier.
"Did he discover us?" One of the four asked uncertainly.
"Yes. Let's leave." The group leader spoke firmly. He turned around and fled without hesitation.
The other three were stunned and quickly followed their leader.
After returning to their residence, the four breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Yun Lintian didn't do anything. Otherwise, they would certainly perish.
"We nearly kicked an iron plate." The skinny man among them spoke.
Before anyone could say anything, their heads were suddenly sent flying into the air.
The skinny man's eyes widened in shock. He quickly turned around and saw a middle-aged man smiling at him.
If Yun Lintian were here, he would immediately recognize this person. He was none other than the friendly uncle he had met before.
"You shouldn't create trouble here." The middle-aged man said.
Puff!
The skinny man's head was instantly severed. He didn't even know how he had died.
"You've killed someone again, Third Uncle."
At that moment, a young girl who looked to be about ten years old walked into the house and gazed at the bodies on the ground with a look of disgust.
The middle-aged man, San Mao, quickly waved his hand and wiped everything clean.
He turned to look at the young girl and said. "I can't be helped. These people continued to cause trouble here despite the initial warning."
The little girl rolled her eyes. "You just wanted to kill people. I know it."
San Mao smiled awkwardly and changed the topic. "Why are you here?"
"I came to see his successor." The little girl spoke as she looked in Yun Lintian's direction. "From how he treated that true spirit and the descendant of the White Tiger God, he doesn't seem so bad... Unfortunately, he is too weak."
San Mao touched his chin and said. "You are judging him too harshly. He is not even a hundred years old. He is indeed very kind, but it's understandable. Otherwise, the Tree of Life would not have recognized him."
The little girl's eyes flickered a few times. She turned to look at San Mao and said. "Do we need to test him?"
San Mao shook his head. "No more. In fact, we shouldn't have tested him from the beginning. Our lord will do it herself."
The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction. "You have changed, Third Uncle."
San Mao smiled wryly. "Let's go back."
The two of them immediately vanished from the place…
