Chapter 71: Chapter 71

When the entire village migrates together, naturally there will be someone to arrange for them; they can’t just leave them to fend for themselves after moving to the city.

This time, most of the villagers went straight to the big city, except for the families of Wu Lei and Qian Dafu, who already had houses in the county and didn’t move with the village.

Qian Dafu’s business was mainly in the town, and Wu Lei, because of his previous debts, had a bit of a bad reputation in the village, which made him reluctant to go with the villagers.

Moreover, life in the city isn’t necessarily better. Few villagers are well-educated, and they can’t do much. Instead of going to the city to suffer hardship, it’s better to stay in the county where he at least has a few shops and can live well.

The villagers were relocated to an area of old houses after arriving in the city.

This area was originally slated for redevelopment into a new commercial street, but the developer’s funding chain suddenly broke, and the person in charge fled, leaving the area abandoned.

Though the houses are old, at least the villagers can still stay together, and the city officials arranged some job positions for them, mostly manual labor like cleaning.

The villagers didn’t mind and went to work diligently.

Wu Lei was relieved to hear the news, happy he stayed in the town.

Li Shuning didn’t want her parents to keep struggling. She thought about the story and realized Lishui City was quite large and would be a significant human gathering place after the rapid onset of Spirit Monsters in the later stage.

Sorting out some storyline details about Lishui City, Li Shuning decided to take the initiative.

She was not yet six years old, but due to cultivation over the years, she was much taller than her peers, often mistaken for being eight or nine.

Li Shuning had always been well-behaved. After arriving in the city, Li Fu started working as a cleaner, and Wang Xiaojuan went to a restaurant to wait tables. They wanted to earn more money so they could eventually send Li Shuning to a better school.

This often left Li Shuning alone at home. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI★Fire.net

This gave Li Shuning an opportunity.

One day, Li Fu and Wang Xiaojuan left early.

Li Shuning waited until most of the village adults had left their homes and then carried her little backpack and left home.

She chose a bus heading to the eastern part of Lishui City.

Kids don’t need to pay fares, so Li Shuning, though not possessing a penny, wasn’t worried.

She had the means to get a hovercar, and if money was required, she could just find a secluded spot to summon and make it invisible.

Lishui City was vast, and it took two hours to reach the place where Li Shuning wanted to go.

Li Shuning stood in front of a villa.

She walked up and rang the doorbell.

After a while, a man in a black suit opened a small door on the villa’s main entrance.

The man asked expressionlessly, "What’s the matter, little girl? This is not a place for you to play."

Li Shuning ignored the man’s rudeness, took a piece of talisman paper from her backpack.

She silently handed the talisman paper to the man.

The man was stunned, then bowed to Li Shuning: "Please wait a moment."

The man shut the door.

Li Shuning walked to the steps beside the small door and sat down.

Ten minutes later, there seemed to be some commotion inside the villa.

The main door opened, and a somewhat anxious yet still refined man came out.

Seeing Li Shuning sitting on the steps, the man quickly smiled and said, "Little master, my attendant was rude."

Li Shuning stood up nonchalantly: "Whether there’s rudeness doesn’t matter; as long as your esteemed son can endure, it doesn’t bother me."

Gao Fei felt a bit helpless; who could have guessed this little girl was a magician?

The Gao Family held a unique status in Lishui City, with magicians serving them.

But even so, the Gao family’s sole heir seemed possessed, with countless experts unable to cure him over the last two years.

When the attendant brought the talisman paper inside, the family’s magician was astonished to stand up.

At that time, Gao Yang was having fits, biting at the table in his room.

Master Lin was at a loss, but upon seeing the talisman paper, he immediately pasted it onto Gao Yang, whose eyes instantly cleared, even calling for his father, though he couldn’t move.

Gao Fei immediately stood and, with Master Lin, came out to meet Li Shuning.

Gao Fei didn’t even know the little girl’s name: "May I know your surname, Little Master?"

"Master Li, may I ask if your master sees what has befallen my son?"

Li Shuning chuckled, guessing they assumed she had a master — which was fine as she was indeed young.

"Your son’s situation is so straightforward, Mr. Gao hasn’t solved it simply because he hasn’t found the right person; no need for a master’s intervention."

Gao Fei was delighted: "Please save my son, Master Li; Gao Fei would be immensely grateful."

"I’m here to save your son, but I don’t need your gratitude. I hope after saving your son, you can help me with something."

"Of course, of course."

Entering Gao Yang’s room, seeing the quiet little boy about her age, Li Shuning felt emotional.

This child was still so young, but in the storyline, he ultimately died, leaving Gao Fei despondent. The Gao Family gradually declined, overtaken by another family in Lishui City, disappearing altogether.

"Everyone, leave please."

The magician surnamed Lin hesitated, wanting to stay and observe, perceiving from the talisman paper that the young girl was remarkable. However, Gao Fei led the way out immediately.

Li Shuning closed the door, checked the surroundings, found no anomalies, and sat in front of Gao Yang.

She extended her hands, her soft little hands swiftly moving, directing hand seals toward Gao Yang.

Finally, Li Shuning grasped Gao Yang’s hands, her deep True Yuan slowly entering Gao Yang’s body, exploring within under her guidance.

Soon, wisps of black air arose from Gao Yang’s head.

Li Shuning sneered, freeing one hand to quickly wave, a small lightning bolt appearing above the black air.

Within a basement somewhere in Lishui City, a black-clad individual with a face wrapped in a black cloth suddenly fainted.

As Li Shuning led Gao Yang out of the room, Gao Fei’s mood was truly indescribable.

Gao Yang was his only son; after the incident, his wife cried daily, and he had no heart for anything else. Seeing his son suddenly emerge now, how could he feel?

"Yang Yang." Gao Fei choked up.

"Daddy, daddy, where’s mommy?" Gao Yang rushed into Gao Fei’s arms.
