Chapter 158 What mischief is this girl up to now?
Si Nansheng approached and saw that the child had injuries, a pale face, and was curled up in pain, lying motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you attacked a child!" Si Nansheng looked at Mo Lie in surprise.
"It wasn't me. I didn't do anything. When I saw him, he was already like this. The unsettling aura was coming from him."
Mo Lie shook his head violently; he wasn't cruel enough to harm a child.
Moreover, the child was beaten so badly.
"Xiu, the one you asked me to find... is a child?" Si Nansheng tilted his head and looked at it for a while.
"He is the one emanating demonic energy, but the demonic energy is weak, and it is not yet known whether it is something he naturally possesses or something he accidentally picked up."
Ye Xiuran's words made Si Nansheng roll her eyes. She couldn't just take such a child out, could she?
If someone with ulterior motives sees this, they'll definitely gossip about it.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong?" Mo Lie hadn't heard Si Nansheng speak, so he turned to look at her and asked.
"Fourth Senior Brother, if we tell others that he is your illegitimate son, do you think anyone will believe us?" Si Nansheng murmured, looking at the child.
Mo Lie's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he raised his hand to give Si Nansheng a sharp rap on the head.
"Fourth Senior Brother, it hurts so much!" Si Nansheng cried out, tears welling in her eyes as she clutched her head.
"I am chaste and have no illegitimate children!" Mo Lie's eyes were very serious.
"I know, I know, I was just joking. You actually took it seriously. But, Fourth Senior Brother, how are we going to get him out of here? It won't be easy to explain if someone sees us, will it?"
Si Nansheng scratched his head, looking at the still unconscious child with a headache.
"Leave it here."
"Fourth Senior Brother, you're right, just don't say it again next time." Si Nansheng patted his shoulder.
How could Fourth Senior Brother have said something like leaving such a small, seriously injured child here?
"You want to take him back?" Mo Lie looked into Si Nansheng's eyes.
"He's so young, he'll surely die if he's left here, won't he? How pitiful!" Si Nansheng said softly, blinking her watery eyes.
"Then take it back."
"But……"
"Give him the medicine, send him to your little world, and then release him after you get out."
Mo Lie's words made Si Nansheng's eyes widen. Right, how could she have forgotten about the small world?
"Fourth Senior Brother, then I'll trouble you to treat his wounds first." Si Nansheng took out the medicine and bandages needed for the wounds and handed them to Mo Lie.
Mo Lie wanted to refuse, but then he realized that if he did, it would be his junior sister who would bandage the boy's wounds, so he could only coldly begin to do so.
Si Nansheng turned around and walked a little further away, turning her back to them as she began to eat fruit.
Looking at the child's injuries, Mo Lie frowned. They weren't caused by a sharp weapon, but rather looked like wounds from being torn or scratched by some wild animal.
What...did he go through?
Once this kid wakes up, he needs to ask him properly to make sure he's not some dangerous being that might harm his junior sister.
"Fourth Senior Brother, is it difficult to bandage?" Not hearing any movement from Mo Lie, Si Nansheng asked without turning around.
"No, wait a little longer." Mo Lie quickly bandaged his wound and put a healing pill into his mouth.
"Junior Sister, it's ready." Mo Lie called to Si Nansheng, who quickly finished the fruit in her hand, clapped her hands, and walked over.
Si Nansheng squatted down next to the child and looked down at him. He was about the same height as her, with a delicate face, a high nose bridge, and was quite good-looking.
But this is a secret realm! How did a child get in here, and even get injured?
Mo Lie glanced at her, then got up and laid out the bedding on a flat spot.
"Junior Sister, you go and rest first. I'll stay here and keep watch." Mo Lie patted Si Nansheng.
"Okay, if Fourth Senior Brother gets tired, just wake me up." Si Nansheng yawned and went to sleep first.
However, she woke up after only a short time and told Mo Lie to go and rest. Although Mo Lie felt sorry for her, he couldn't resist his junior sister's coquettishness.
After Mo Lie rested, Si Nansheng also took a break and sat down next to the child to begin cultivating.
With Ye Xiu Ran watching over her, she acted with complete impunity.
"He's awake," Ye Xiuran reminded Si Nansheng.
When Si Nansheng opened her eyes, she saw the child sitting in front of her, staring intently at her.
"What are you going to do?" Si Nansheng leaned back.
"Sister, did you save me?" A childish voice called her "sister," which made Si Nansheng feel exceptionally good.
"Yes, it was my senior brother and me who saved you. What's your name? This is a secret realm, how did you end up here and get so badly injured? Where are your family?"
Si Nansheng looked at him with a smile and asked him several questions in a row.
"My name is Shang Ming. I was injured while being chased by my uncle. All my other family members are gone." Shang Ming's eyes reddened as he spoke.
"Don't cry, you, don't cry. I don't have any family either, but I have a master and a teacher. Why don't you come out with us first, and I'll protect you."
When Si Nansheng saw that the little boy was about to cry, he quickly tried to comfort him.
She couldn't bear to see such a small child crying in front of her, and besides, she didn't completely believe what he said.
However, just to be on the safe side, she would keep him by her side and figure out what was going on with the demonic energy on him.
"Really?" He looked up at Si Nansheng expectantly, and Si Nansheng nodded hurriedly.
"Sister, you're so kind." Shang Ming immediately gave Si Nansheng a bright smile.
Si Nansheng was even happier when he praised her.
She was young and short, the youngest in the Four Gods Sect. Now, she was overjoyed to finally have someone younger than her call her "sister."
"How old are you? Call me Junior Sister." Mo Lie woke up and heard Shang Ming call Si Nansheng "Sister," and immediately spoke in a somewhat cold tone.
"I... am eight years old." Shang Ming timidly hid behind Si Nansheng, as if he had been bullied by Mo Lie.
"Fourth Senior Brother, he's quite pitiful. Don't be so harsh on him, it'll scare him." Si Nansheng looked at Mo Lie with a smile.
Mo Lie recognized that smile; what mischief was that girl up to now?
Could it be that she sensed something was wrong with this kid?
Si Nansheng: Since you're willing to act, then let's all act together.
"I'll go prepare some food first." Mo Lie gave Shang Ming a warning look before starting a fire to prepare food.
A flash of smugness crossed Shang Ming's eyes, and then he returned to his obedient demeanor.
"Thank you for protecting me, sister. That brother was terrifying." Shang Ming looked at Si Nansheng timidly, and Si Nansheng smiled and rubbed his head.
"Don't be afraid. My fourth senior brother just looks indifferent. Take him as a good person and he won't hurt you."
"Okay." He nodded obediently and sat down to the side, seemingly well-behaved.
"Fourth Senior Brother, when will Fifth Senior Brother and the others arrive?" Si Nansheng smiled at Shang Ming and strolled over to Mo Lie's side.
"They've already set off and should arrive before noon." Mo Lie took out the communication jade slip and looked at it; Mo Yu and the others' location was quite obvious.
