1923 Escape (1/2)
Brother Tie heaved a sigh of relief and subsequently burst into laughter. ”This doll is much better than the green radish!”
The girl's pretty face quickly turned pale, and she involuntarily twitched her lips. ”You will regret it if you do not let me go!”
Brother Tie gave off a roar. ”Regret? Do you think your master, Zichun Shangren, will send help to you? Do you think he would even seek revenge? Keep dreaming! If you disappear, she will not be able to find a single trace. Tsk tsk, using such a beautiful doll for alchemy is such a waste.” He pinched the little girl's face as he spoke.
The girl allowed her head to be tilted to the side as she looked at him. In her eyes was a swirling light, one that was full of uncommon colors. It carried with it a sense of frigidity, like the aurora light above the poles. That made Brother Tie feel a shudder in his heart. He was stunned for a moment.
His companion also advised him. ”Brother Tie, the child needs to preserve her naivety so that the pills that we make will have sufficient spiritual power. Don't horse around.”
Brother Tie withdrew his hand. ”Of course; I know that. If not, I would have set my eyes on the little birds earlier on!”
As a couple of them were joking around, Brother Tie and his companion brought Si Qing and the other two inside.
They initially wanted to carry the three children in black bags, but the words of a little girl moved them. ”You release our locked veins, and we will walk away by ourselves.”
Brother Tie was then reluctant to carry a black bag as he walked. Besides that, since he had arrived at his own turf, he was no longer afraid that the three children would start any other offensive measures against him.
Eventually, he released the locked veins of the three children so that they acquire their ability to walk again. All they could do was walk; their other abilities were still sealed.
Brother Tie led the way while the three children were marching away. One more person guarded at the back; that way, there was no need to be afraid of the three children escaping.
