The Gu Village.
This was the village that had been ransacked by the bandits.
The entire village was in a mess, and the sound of crying could be heard everywhere.
When Su Mo arrived, he saw a dozen men carrying the corpses. They had dug a large pit in the open space behind the village to bury the corpses.
Su Mo asked them and found out that they were the hunting team of the village. They had survived because they had been out hunting.
"Master, you've saved so many women in the Gu Village and killed all the bandits. You've avenged us. I can't thank you enough. Please accept my bow!"
The leader of the hunting team immediately bowed respectfully to Su Mo after knowing that it was Su Mo who had saved the women.
"Don't stand on ceremony, brother. Let's bury the dead first! Let's let them rest in peace! "
Su Mo waved his hand at the leader and said.
"Okay!"
The hunting captain nodded heavily and did not say anything else. He then continued to move the dead villagers.
"Eh?"
Su Mo scanned the surroundings and saw the beautiful girl kneeling in front of a corpse, crying.
The corpse was the white-haired elder that Su Mo had seen before.
"So she's the granddaughter of that elder!"
Su Mo suddenly understood.
Su Mo walked forward and squatted down. He patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her, "The dead are gone. My condolences!"
The girl continued to sob as if she had not heard Su Mo.
"Alas!"
Su Mo sighed. Parting with death was always the most painful thing.
"Young Master, Xi 'er is an orphan. I grew up without parents and was abandoned in the wilderness. It was Grandpa who picked me up and raised me."
At this time, the young girl opened her mouth and her voice was full of bitterness, "Grandpa treats me like his own child. He always leaves the best things for me and never lets me suffer. Now that grandpa has met with such a disaster, I feel extremely guilty."
"Why am I not a martial artist?"
"If I were a powerful martial artist, I would have been able to protect grandpa and our village!"
"If I were a powerful martial artist, grandpa wouldn't have died, and so many villagers wouldn't have died!"
"…"
The girl kept talking, as if she was talking to Su Mo, but also to herself.
Her body trembled uncontrollably as she spoke. Large teardrops rolled down her cheeks.
Su Mo listened quietly and did not say a word.
The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, this was the tragedy of the weak!
After a long time, the girl finally stopped sobbing.
"Young lady, you must pull yourself together. Your grandfather's spirit in heaven does not wish to see you like this."
Su Mo could only comfort her.
"Young Master, I'm sorry for making you laugh!"
The girl wiped the tears off her face and said awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter. Let's bury your grandfather first! Let him rest in peace. "
Su Mo said. The two of them buried the old man at the back of the village.
After burying the old man, Su Mo prepared to leave.
At this time, the villagers of Gu Village had already buried all the dead and came over to express their gratitude to Su Mo.
Su Mo returned all the valuables he had obtained from the bandits and was about to leave.
"Young master!"
At this moment, a soft voice sounded. Su Mo turned around and saw that it was the beauty in teal.
"Xi 'er … I want to follow you. Would you be willing to take me in?"
The girl walked up to Su Mo and bit her red lips as if she had made a decision.
Then, she stared at Su Mo with her big eyes, as if she was afraid that Su Mo would reject her.
Su Mo was stunned. He did not know why the girl would make such a request.
"Young lady, why do you want to follow me?"
Su Mo did not mind if a beauty was willing to follow him.
However, he had to ask her about her intentions. He was not going to take her home just because she was a beauty.
"I want to follow you to practice martial arts."
The girl's childish face was full of determination. "I can see that you are a good person. Only by following you can I have a chance to become an expert."
"Don't worry, I will not be a burden to you. I can cook, wash, and do all the housework. I'm willing to be your servant. Please take me in!"
The girl looked pitiful, and her big eyes were full of expectation. Then, she was about to kneel down.
Su Mo stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Since you're willing to follow me, then come with me! I'll teach you how to cultivate in the future. "
"Of course, if you want to leave in the future, I won't stop you.
Su Mo sighed inwardly. Although this girl looked weak, she was very strong and decisive.
"Thank you, young master!"
A rare smile finally appeared on the girl's face. Suddenly, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, which was fascinating.
Then, Su Mo took the girl back to Sunnywood City.
They did not ride horses, but walked all the way to Sunnywood City.
Although the girl had not awakened her Martial Soul and was not a real martial artist, she was at Lv 6 Body Tempering Realm, so it was not a problem for her to walk dozens of kilometers.
Along the way, Su Mo talked a lot with her and got to know her more or less.
The girl's name was Gu Lanxi, which was a very beautiful name.
She was 14 years old and would be 15 years old in two months, which was about the same age as Su Mo.
In the evening, they returned to the Sus.
"Damn! Where did Su Mo find such a pretty girl? "
"This good-for-nothing probably knows that he won't live for long, so he should take advantage of the last two weeks to have fun!"
"Probably! Damn, all the good guys are taken by pigs! "
Su Mo led Gu Lanxi into the mansion of the Sus. The girl's beautiful face immediately attracted many people's attention.
Many disciples of the Sus were jealous and envious of Su Mo. Of course, most of them were disdainful!
Su Mo took the girl back to his courtyard and arranged a room for her.
There were four rooms in his courtyard. He lived in one room, and the others were empty.
"Xi 'er, you can live here from now on!"
Su Mo helped the girl tidy up the room and prepared some daily necessities. "If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Okay, thank you, young master!"
The girl nodded slightly.
"As for cultivation, I'll buy some elixirs for you when I have time, so you can finish Body Tempering as soon as possible."
Su Mo continued, "After you finish Body Tempering, I'll find a way to help you awaken your Martial Soul!"
"Okay, thank you, young master!"
The girl was touched and was very respectful to Su Mo.
"Haha! Xi 'er, you don't have to be so polite. I'm a casual person. "
Su Mo smiled and said, "From now on, don't call me young master. It sounds awkward. Just call me by my name!"
"I … I can't do that!"
The girl hurriedly waved her hand and said anxiously, "You've done me a great favor. How can I call you by your name? That's disrespectful! "
"Moreover, I'm only your maid now, so I dare not call you that!"
"Uh!"
Su Mo was speechless. This girl was too restrained!
"Who said you're my maid? You're my sister from now on. Yes, my sworn sister. "
Su Mo said seriously.
Hearing Su Mo's words, the girl opened her big watery eyes and looked at Su Mo without blinking.
"What? You don't want to? "
Su Mo deliberately put on a straight face and pretended to be a slave.
"No … no, I want to!"
The girl blushed and was very touched.
"Haha! Come on, call me big brother first. "
Su Mo's lips curled into a smile as he teased.
"Uh … Brother Su Mo!"
The girl blushed and did not dare to raise her head. Her voice was as low as a mosquito's.
