After seeing Qi Wuming fall to the ground in exhaustion, Ji Xiuzhu came to the little girl.

She reached out and touched the little girl's head, and said softly, "Little girl, I'm sorry. I let you see such a bloody scene. It's okay now, you can go. This place is dangerous, it's safer for you to go farther away."

The little girl trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She tightly grasped the corner of Ji Xiuzhu's clothes and said with sobs, "I...I won't leave, sister. Yaoyao has no home anymore. Sister, you are a good person, can you accept Yaoyao? Yaoyao will serve you tea and water, and even pinch your arms and legs!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she fell to her knees with a thud and hugged Ji Xiuzhu's thighs.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu was stunned at first, then began to frown slightly. She didn't expect that this little girl was so pitiful.

Seeing the little girl's red eyes, she felt a little bit sorry.

So he slowly squatted down, looked into the little girl's eyes, and said seriously: "Girl, do you know who I am?"

The little girl shook her head when she heard that.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Girl, my hometown is not in Shenzhou Continent, but far away in Tianyuan. Moreover, my sect is not rich. If you follow me, you may suffer a lot. Aren't you afraid?"

The little girl bit her lip and looked at Ji Xiuzhu firmly: "I'm not afraid! Sister, Yaoyao has nowhere to go, so please take Yaoyao in."

Ji Xiuzhu's heart moved, and looking at the thin but strong figure in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.

Just as Ji Xiuzhu was about to give in, Cui Yunshen immediately jumped out holding Bai Ze.

"You little girl, my master is kind-hearted and saved your life, why are you repaying kindness with hatred? This is my master, stay away from him!"

Cui Yunshen pulled the little girl's hand away and revealed the same grinning expression as Bai Ze.

Ji Xiuzhu glanced at Cui Yunshen helplessly, then gently scolded him: "You little brat, don't be rude. Why are you arguing with a little girl? I think the little girl is very cute. Don't you think it will be pleasing to take her with you?"

The little girl was pushed back by Cui Yunshen and staggered a few steps, but she quickly stood firm.

After hearing Ji Xiuzhu say this, she quickly showed a look of joy, then knelt in front of Ji Xiuzhu again, and presented the dagger in her hand with both hands.

She knelt down in front of Ji Xiuzhu again and bowed deeply. When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of determination: "Sister, I know you are a kind person, please take me in. I will do everything and will not cause you any trouble. This is the most valuable thing on me, so I will use it to pay you a thank you for taking me in."

Ji Xiuzhu looked at the little girl's sincere eyes and couldn't help feeling moved.

After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded: "Okay, then follow me. However, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't complain."

After hearing this, the little girl immediately showed a happy smile on her face and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, sister! Yaoyao will definitely be obedient!"

Ji Xiuzhu helped the little girl up, and then gently patted the dust off her clothes: "I am the leader of the Shenyin Sect, and I am also a well-known person. In the future, don't call me sister in front of others. Remember to call me the leader."

"Yes, Sect...Master." After hearing Ji Xiuzhu's words, the little girl timidly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

"I remember your name is Yaoyao?" Ji Xiuzhu asked with a smile.

"Yes, Sect Master, my name is Yaoyao." The little girl lowered her head and responded in a low voice.

"Yes, Yaoyao." Ji Xiuzhu whispered the name, "What a special name, I'll remember it. But I need to do some dangerous things these days, if you keep following me, you might be in danger. Why don't you wait for me here, and I'll come back to pick you up after I finish my work."

Cui Yunshen watched from the side, muttering to himself: "Humph, this little girl with unknown origins, I think she is not a good person. Master, this idiot, really has no doubts about her? He actually agreed to take her in so brazenly. No, I must expose the true face of this girl."

"But... Sect Master, Yaoyao has poor self-protection ability. If she stays here, Yaoyao will be scared." Yaoyao was a little hesitant. She looked at Ji Xiuzhu, then at Cui Yunshen, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ji Xiuzhu saw Yaoyao’s worry and wanted to comfort her, but after thinking about it, she felt that what the little girl said made sense.

Anyway, taking care of Cui Yunshen is just taking care of him. It's just one more child. I can take care of him.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu said to Cui Yunshen, "I think what Yaoyao said makes sense. Brat, I'm going to give you a task. You're responsible for taking care of Yaoyao along the way. If I go to war with the bad guys, remember to protect the little girl."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyao bit her lip excitedly, then happily hugged Ji Xiuzhu's thigh and said, "Thank you, Sect Master! Yaoyao will definitely be obedient and will not let you and this brother worry!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu nodded with satisfaction, then reached out and touched the little girl's head, then turned and walked forward, leaving Yaoyao and Cui Yunshen where they were.

Cui Yunshen looked at Yaoyao, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Humph, little girl, don't think that just because Master allows you to follow us, you have our approval! Master is kind, but I am not someone you can easily mess with! You'd better not have any bad intentions, otherwise..."

After Cui Yunshen finished speaking, he grabbed Bai Ze's tail and squeezed it hard, warning Li Yaoyao with a fierce look.

Bai Ze was caught off guard in an instant. Because his tail was pinched by Cui Yunshen and it hurt, he subconsciously opened his sharp teeth and bit Cui Yunshen hard.

Cui Yunshen felt a pain and then subconsciously threw Bai Ze away.

Seeing this, Yaoyao was already trembling with fear because of Cui Yunshen's warning.

But when she saw Bai Ze being thrown out by Cui Yunshen, she felt a sudden pang of heartache, then stretched out her hands to catch Bai Ze, raised her head firmly, and looked directly into Cui Yunshen's eyes: "Yaoyao remembers what you said, sir! Yaoyao has no intention of deceiving you. If you don't like Yaoyao, then Yaoyao won't jump around in front of you in the future. But if you don't like this little guy, then Yaoyao will take care of him in the future!"

Cui Yunshen was already unhappy because he was bitten by Bai Ze.

But when he heard what Li Yaoyao said, he couldn't help but sneer: "Oh? You are so self-aware? Well, then don't jump around in front of me in the future! I will definitely find out your fox tail, let's wait and see!"

After saying that, Cui Yunshen snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left towards where Ji Xiuzhu was heading.

Yaoyao stood there alone, looking at the direction where Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen left, and a hint of ambiguous meaning flashed in her eyes for a moment.

At this moment, the little girl was as mature as a strategist, without any trace of a child at all.

But it was only a moment, and her expression returned to normal.

Then, holding Bai Ze in her arms, she jogged to catch up with Ji Xiuzhu and the others, but she did not get ahead of Cui Yunshen. Instead, she tactfully held Bai Ze and followed behind them silently.

Although Ji Xiuzhu was walking in front, her eyes were constantly looking at Li Yaoyao behind her.

She always felt that this child was unusually calm. It would be more accurate to say that he was accustomed to everything and had become numb.
