Chapter 1032: Is This Mu Yiting?

“Who?!”

Seeing their brother suddenly fall, the others sensed something was wrong and instantly became alert.

But it was too late; Lin Nuo moved with lightning speed, dispatching the group in one swift motion, decisive and efficient.

“A bunch of rabble.”

Lin Nuo scoffed, concerned they might be playing dead, so he fired off a few more shots.

“Better save some for later.”

After tidying them up, Lin Nuo pocketed his hidden weapons.

“Big brother, what’s wrong with them…?”

“They’re finished; it’s no big deal. Let’s keep drinking.”

With that, Lin Nuo filled another bowl with cold water, intending to drink it, but first offered it to the Little Girl.

“You drink first.”

“No, big brother, I don’t want to…”

“Just a sip is fine.”

“Oh, okay…”

The Little Girl complied, taking the bowl of cold water and sipping it.

“That’s enough; don’t finish it.”

Lin Nuo took the bowl back from her, continuing to drink, and indeed, after passing through the Little Girl’s lips, the cold water actually tasted good.

Perfect! Just like that, they could enjoy two large jars of cold water.

However, this moment of peace was fleeting; they were being hunted everywhere. Even though Lin Nuo subdued the attackers with his hidden weapons, more were bound to arrive.

The number of pursuers was a bit overwhelming. Lin Nuo was interrupted several times while trying to drink the cold water and had to keep using hidden weapons to fend them off.

But the supply of hidden weapons was limited, and he didn’t have enough spirit energy left to use any Spirit Techniques.

“Damn, there are too many of them.”

Lin Nuo grumbled, realizing it was time to run. Otherwise, they’d swarm him in a melee, and he wouldn’t stand a chance.

“Go!”

Lin Nuo quickly grabbed the Little Girl’s hand and ran. He had prepared some smoke bombs in the town. He tossed one out, and a large cloud of thick smoke erupted, obscuring the vision of those approaching.

“Cough! They’re in there! Hurry up and search! Quick, report back to the Lord!”

Among the crowd were members of Helong Hall. They spotted a kid grabbing a Little Girl and recognized them—it was the Young Master, Mu Yiting.

“Who is this kid to kidnap the Young Master? Hurry, clear the smoke! They can’t have gone far!”

They rushed to pursue, motivated by the generous rewards from Helong Hall.

The edges of the town were tightly guarded, making it difficult for Lin Nuo to break free. He kept running in circles, outnumbered and unable to shake them off.

“Big brother, I…”

The Little Girl was getting tired, struggling to keep up. Lin Nuo, now a kid himself, lacked the stamina of an adult.

“These must be members of Helong Hall. There are just too many of them.”

Lin Nuo recognized them; their mobility was indeed stronger than the lazy members of the Longhu Gang.

Lin Nuo wondered where the Lin family was. Were they not showing up to help? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a showdown with Helong Hall?

At this rate, if he didn’t see them soon, he might meet an untimely end.

“Kid, let go of the Young Master!”

Suddenly, Helong Hall members blocked Lin Nuo’s path, shouting at him.

“Young Master?”

Lin Nuo was taken aback; who called someone Young Master?

Could it be?

He looked at the Little Girl, who was terrified, hiding behind him.

The Helong Hall members brandished their weapons, shouting angrily at Lin Nuo, but they were cautious, not daring to rush at him.

Let’s test the waters.

Lin Nuo pulled the Little Girl in front of him, brandishing a small knife at her neck.

Immediately, the Helong Hall members panicked and shouted:

“Don’t hurt the Young Master! Put down the knife! We can negotiate!”

“Oh? She’s your Young Master? What’s her name? Tell me.”

Lin Nuo spoke to them, trying to extract some information.

“You don’t know?” one of the Helong Hall members retorted.

“Are you going to tell me or not? If not, she might…”

“Her name is Mu Yiting, daughter of our lord Mu Feng! You’re cornered now; I advise you to stop opposing Helong Hall. Let the Young Master go, and we’ll let you leave.”

“You say her name is Mu Yiting? Heh.”

A smile crept onto Lin Nuo’s face, though his heart was shocked.

No wonder she can produce soul cold water; it really is Mu Yiting?!

Wait a minute, Mu Yiting was supposed to have been to Cangshan Lin back then?

And her soul doesn’t belong to the human world?

This is quite the revelation! It all started with the names “Su Kexin” and “Luo Xiaoxue” written on the letter of a deceased traveler, then Su Kexin cracked the Crack of the Demon Realm, followed by the soul of a certain princess from the Demon Realm possessing a human girl.

What is this? In my previous life, things weren’t this chaotic. If I keep reincarnating like this, the map of this world will become even more vast!

“Big brother, why are you…”

The Little Girl was astonished. The kind big brother she knew was now pressing a knife against her neck.

“Don’t you recognize them?” Lin Nuo whispered to the Little Girl, gesturing at the Helong Hall members.

“I… I don’t recognize them…”

“Alright then, I’ll hold you like this to leave. They won’t dare attack us.”

Lin Nuo continued in a low voice, leading the Little Girl away.

He began to piece it together—this earthly version of Mu Yiting had already died. A new soul entered her body, giving her a second chance at life. But she had lost all memories, especially about the Demon Realm, and wouldn’t have any impression of Helong Hall.

It’s like Helong Hall later found her and helped restore her memories of being the earthly Mu Yiting, but she was still so young that she didn’t have much memory to begin with.

In reality, she hadn’t truly recovered much; she just gradually accepted the identity that she was Mu Feng’s daughter and the Young Master of Helong Hall from frequent contact with their members.

That was probably the gist of it.

But what exactly happened on the Demon Realm side? Why were they trying to capture her? How did they send her soul to the human realm? That was still a mystery.

Of course, now wasn’t the time to explore these questions.

I’ll take her as a hostage; since she is Mu Yiting, I can’t let her stay with me. Otherwise, the Helong Hall people will come looking for trouble every day, and I can’t handle that.

“Listen, if you don’t want anything to happen to her, get out of my way! Do you hear me?!”

Lin Nuo yelled at the Helong Hall members while holding Mu Yiting hostage. They had no choice but to give way.

If it weren’t for their insistence on not harming the Young Master, he likely would have been surrounded and left to die. Now, he could make his escape.

A bunch of lapdogs; who would dare make a move? If anything happened to the Young Master, their heads would roll.

They opened a path, allowing Lin Nuo to retreat, but they still eyed him warily, ready to pounce at any moment.

“Lord, you’re here! The Young Master is now…”

“Yes, I know. Don’t provoke him! Let him leave, but we must follow closely.”

Mu Feng had also arrived. He appeared calm on the surface, but internally he was anxious; how could he remain composed when his daughter had been kidnapped?

“Lord, we caught a little girl. She’s gone mad! She’s killed many of us!”

At this moment, a subordinate rushed in with an urgent report.
