"I don't think it's certain," Ziyu said with a chuckle. "Whatever you all have, you must have some records of it."
"Are you really from the Original Universe?" Boss looked at Ziyu in surprise.
"Of course! We just arrived yesterday, and we don't understand anything here. We wouldn't know what you're talking about," Ziyu rolled her eyes at Boss.
"I've said everything I needed to say. All our assets are underground; you can go take them. Just let me go," Boss forced a smile.
With everyone else dead, fighting back was useless; it was better to humbly seek a way to survive.
"Just get her to agree to let you go," Ziyu pointed to the girl being supported by Ye Ling not far away.
The girl trembled, looking very scared, glancing over here from time to time.
"Miss, how to deal with this person is up to you," Ziyu asked with a smile.
"Don't kill him... How about just letting him be an ordinary person?" the girl said. She was still very pure and kind-hearted.
"Don't you hate him for what he did to you?" Ziyu squatted down, looking at the girl.
"I do hate him, but they are also trying to survive; it's a way of existence," the girl replied.
Ziyu was taken aback.
Indeed, being a robber is a way of existence. No matter where one goes or how developed a place is, robbers will always exist; it is a form of existence.
Human hearts are inherently greedy, and robbers merely amplify that greed. Such people will exist anywhere.
If something is bound to exist, why bother worrying too much about it?
"You see things quite clearly," Ziyu nodded, walked up to Boss, pulled him up, and headed outside.
"What are they doing?" the girl asked Ye Ling, her innocent big eyes looking at her. However, Ye Ling knew that beneath this pure exterior, the soul had endured countless experiences.
"They're dealing with that robber, but don't worry, they won't let him die," Ye Ling replied.
"By the way, what did you do in your past life?" Ye Ling asked.
"In my past life... I was a child from a poor family. Our planet was underdeveloped and later invaded by evil aliens... I died on that planet when I was 16 years old, and then I followed the guidance to come to this world," the girl said.
"I've been in this world for 16 years now. I was so scared just now; I thought I was going to die again at 16."
Ye Ling hugged the girl; she truly felt sorry for this child.
"Do you live in a small village? Haven't you learned any spiritual powers?" Ye Ling asked.
"Yeah, to go to the academy, you have to pass some tests. Kids like us from poor families haven't eaten anything nourishing, so our physiques are generally unqualified," the girl said. "But we live happily here. It's already great that we get to live again, and our current life is even better than my previous one... except for the robbers coming around. But there won't be any robbers coming anymore."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Outside.
Ziyu dragged the robber's body and threw it onto the grass after asking many questions.
"The girl said she would let you go, and I naturally won't go back on my word. I'll let you go, but you can't escape punishment," Ziyu said. "I also need to prevent you from committing evil again in the future."
Ziyu signaled Zero-Sum Emperor to come over.
"Disable his left hand and right leg." Ziyu was human after all; her strength wasn't enough, so it was better to let these two steel beings handle it.
"Ahh..." A few cries of agony echoed as Boss's left hand and right leg were completely broken.
"From now on, be a good person," Ziyu said casually.
"Miss, what should I call you?" Ziyu asked the girl as the three of them walked back into the courtyard.
"You can just call me Xiaoxuan. What about the Boss?" The girl looked outside, and before Ziyu could answer, the Boss's limping figure appeared far away at the entrance. The girl saw him and felt relieved.
"There’s no need to feel sympathy for that kind of person," Ziyu shook his head. "Why are you so naive?"
"Big brother, it's not naivety. I believe that every pitiful person deserves sympathy. Since he won't do bad things anymore, why cling to it?" Xiaoxuan said. "I believe everyone is inherently good; bad deeds are just mistakes they made in a moment."
Ziyu smiled and ruffled Xiaoxuan's hair. "Where is your home? We'll take you back."
"It's in a nearby village, but the villages around here don't have names; we can only find them by direction."
"Alright," Ziyu said. "Zero, Emperor, you two stay here. I'll go with Ye Ling. Keep an eye on these belongings so they don't get lost. When we return, gather the people from the nearby villages to distribute these."
"Okay, be careful," Zero-Sum Emperor replied, staying behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Afternoon.
The former bandit hideout was now bustling with activity. Even though everyone was crowded together and it was quite hot, no one wanted to leave.
"These belongings are all the property we found from the bandits. Since they are bandits, these things naturally belong to everyone. I will return them to their rightful owners," Ziyu announced from the reception area, where piles of goods were stacked high.
"This little brother is truly a good person; hurry up and distribute!" Some people could hardly wait.
"Alright, let's distribute them now," Ziyu said with a smile as he looked at the crowd.
The valuables were piled up here, and even if Ziyu didn't know the prices in this place, he could roughly tell that these were all very valuable items.
Two hours later.
"Distribution is complete, everyone can go back now. There won't be any more robbers here," Ziyu waved his hand and smiled.
"No more? Why do I feel like some of the things taken by the robbers are still missing?" a woman shouted.
"Uh..." Ziyu was taken aback, not expecting there would still be such a person. "I think, well, robbers need to eat too. Your things might have been sold or spent by them."
"Regardless, I'm missing things, it must be that you all hid them. Everyone think carefully if you’re missing anything," the woman said.
"Everyone listen to me, I guarantee I haven't taken anything. If you've lost something, go ask the robbers. I don't want to be bitten after doing a good deed; I believe everyone can understand me," Ziyu said with a frown, but at this moment it seemed there was no way to argue.
"The robbers are dead; where am I supposed to ask? They couldn't have taken them with them; they must be with you," the woman shouted again.
"The young brother helped us all; how can you say that!" The people from other villages began to condemn the woman.
"I can prove that Ziyu is a good person," Xiaoxuan stepped out from the corner.
"Xiaoxuan is from our village; we know what kind of person Xiaoxuan is. Our whole village trusts young brother Ziyu," said the village chief of Xiaoxuan Village.
"We trust Ziyu too; he even saved me," Liao Village Chief also came forward.
"You... you all must have been deceived or received some benefits!" The woman still wouldn't let go.
Ziyu frowned; how could this person be so unreasonable?
"And that girl, looking so beautiful, she can't be anything good; she must have been bought by that Ziyu," the woman's mouth just wouldn't close.
"Ziyu Little brother, this person is like this, so don't take it too seriously." The villagers associated with the woman all had expressions of embarrassment and stepped forward.
"I know how my husband is, so don't pollute the air here with your filthy mouth," Ye Ling said coldly.
This woman was truly overstepping.
"I've said it, if you have any questions, you can ask the bandit. I have a clear conscience; everyone’s belongings are accounted for, so let's disperse," Ziyu sighed, not wanting to say more. It was useless to reason with such people.
"Look, trying to run away, huh? I actually want to ask the bandit; go ask him at your home."
"If you really want to ask, I can take you there." Ziyu drew his sword and stepped into the crowd, the tip of the sword directly against the woman's throat.
"Just kill her; she's annoying," Zero said while sitting aside, resting his chin on his hand, looking helpless.
A mechanical expression of helplessness appeared on Zero's face, making it somewhat comical.
"Did you hear that? Anyway, I heard it," Ziyu said with a smile, looking at the woman who no longer dared to speak, somewhat mocking. Zero's voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
This woman was a bully in her own village... no, she was a shrew who wouldn't let go even when she was wronged. She was still unmarried and had no one who liked her.
"I don't know how you lived in your past life." Ziyu retracted his sword, leaving a blood mark on the woman's face as he did so.
"You! @￥%..." The woman began to curse loudly, spewing out all sorts of insults.
In fact, this woman wanted to gain some benefits but ended up losing face without getting anything, which made her feel humiliated and angry, leading her to start cursing.
"Village chief, if that young man causes trouble in your village in the future, the best punishment would be to make him marry her," Ziyu said with a half-smile as he looked at the village chief before walking back to Reception.
"Since everyone has gotten what they wanted, you can leave now. As for me, I can guarantee that there is not a single thing hidden away." After saying this, Ziyu walked towards Liao Village Chief.
"Village Chief, after settling down in a few days, I will be leaving, and I will take this little one with me. I think it's necessary for me to visit the Mystic Practitioner Academy," Ziyu said.
Ziyu's group was certainly going to stick together, and everyone unconsciously looked to Ziyu as their leader, naturally allowing Ziyu to make the decisions... After all, it was Ziyu who initially brought everyone here.
"Alright, when the time comes, I'll accompany you along with the little one. Thank you, young brother," Liao Village Chief said.
"Brother Ziyu?" Xiaoxuan walked through the crowd, followed by a couple.
"This is my mom and dad. I want to..." Xiaoxuan introduced them and then paused for a moment. "I heard Brother Ziyu is going to the Mystic Practitioner Academy. Can Xiaoxuan go with you?"
"This..." Ziyu looked at Xiaoxuan's parents; such matters should certainly respect the parents' wishes.
"We hope that young brother Ziyu can take our child to the Mystic Practitioner Academy," the parents looked at Ziyu with gratitude.
"Uh... is there no age limit for this?" Ziyu asked in surprise.
"Younger brother may not know, but there is indeed no age limit for the Mystic Practitioner Academy. However, the older you are, the harder the entrance assessment becomes," Liao Village Chief explained.
Ziyu nodded; it seemed he really had to go.
Initially, Ziyu thought his age was too great to enroll, but even if he couldn't enroll, there should still be things related to Transcendent nearby. He originally planned to try his luck; it seemed this time he could directly enter the Mystic Practitioner Academy.
"Alright then, let's set off together in a few days. Xiaoxuan can stay with me."
