Next, under the double blessing of "Holy Word" and Holy Light, the child's body and mind began to be purified. Zheng Yan felt that Alicia was now like a monk chanting sutras, so he walked away casually.

This is a place where extremely poor people live. The road under their feet is mud and there are no stones. Because it rained heavily last night, Zheng Yan didn't even have a place to put his feet. Now his shoes are already dirty.

There is no one on the road, and I don’t know who is exploiting these people at the moment. Looking at the row of shabby wooden houses, I can’t help but think that everything in the house is damp, and the meals cooked at noon,

The kind that will grow hair at night may not happen because there will be no leftovers.

The lady named Scarlett seems to be doing better, and she has planted some vegetables in her yard, while other homes are almost barren.

He walked forward and looked at his neighbor's house, whose house had a big hole in it. Zheng Yan shrank his head when he saw the window.

Zheng Yan returned to Scarlett's house in confusion. He entered through the big hole that he had destroyed in the battle with Scarface. Some things were destroyed in the simple room, but no one was harmed. The head that Zheng Yan saw was a small one.

The girl looks to be about four or five years old. Her parents probably locked her in the room alone to prevent accidents as her parents went out to work.

This reminded Zheng Yan of himself. When he was a child, his parents wanted to go out, so he locked himself in the house and let himself cry. He even lured the neighbors over and couldn't get out. In the end, he got angry and took revenge on his family.

All my things were turned upside down, and my parents who came back gave me a mixed doubles beating.

Thinking of these memories, the corners of Zheng Yan's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then he felt a little empty in his heart. Looking at the ignorant little girl in the room, he touched his pocket and found a few gold coins in it, so Zheng Yan

Throw it in.

It can be regarded as compensation for destroying her house.

After watching the little girl pick up the gold coins, Zheng Yan left other people's homes and returned to Scarlett's house. He saw that the child named Xiao An seemed to have become much purer.

Alicia finished her prayer to the gods a little tiredly, smiled at Zheng Yan on the side, and walked over.

"Is it all over?" Zheng Yan asked with a smile.

Alicia nodded, "The darkness in this child's body and mind has been purified, but if the current situation does not change, the darkness will still come back, so even if he loses tomorrow, we must help him."

"Then it's up to you." Zheng Yan shook his head casually and walked forward as if he was about to leave.

"I like you." Alicia's calm voice sounded.

"What?" Zheng Yan staggered, thinking he heard wrong.

"I like what you do."

"Sister Sister, please don't gasp when you speak, you're going to scare me."

Alicia's calm voice came, "Sometimes your principles may seem cold, but they all have their own reasons. These principles prove what you think is correct. Although it conflicts with the teachings of the Holy Light, I...

...Actually, I agree. After that incident in the mine, I tried to stand in your perspective. I suddenly discovered a lot and thought a lot..."

"Sister." Zheng Yan turned around and interrupted Alicia with a smile, and said: "Your thoughts are very dangerous. It is a sign of impiety and will make you fall away from the Holy Light. You must be responsible for yourself."<

/p>

"I just told you." Alicia also smiled, and the holy light seemed to shine brighter on her body. "I agree with you, but this does not mean that I will join you."

"Tch, boring." Zheng Yan curled his lips, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute."

A woman's voice sounded. Zheng Yan and Alicia looked over and saw that Scarlett had woken up and her face was still very pale. They quickly shouted out when they saw that they were about to leave.

With one hand supported by her child, she stood up with difficulty and bowed deeply to Zheng Yan and Alicia.

"Thank you for your help, I really don't know how to thank you."

"Praise the Holy Light." Zheng Yan snatched Alicia's line at once, leaving Alicia not knowing what to say.

"Holy Light?" Scarlett looked at Zheng Yan doubtfully, feeling that he was not a believer in the Holy Light, but these were not important. She continued: "I have nothing to repay, please at least stay for dinner."<

/p>

Zheng Yan and Alicia looked at each other, and Alicia said: "Your body is still very weak."

"It doesn't matter, I won't live long anyway." Scarlett said bitterly.

Zheng Yan looked at Alicia again and said, "She shouldn't be entrusting her with the funeral arrangements, such as entrusting her children to you."

With a snap, Zheng Yan's head was patted by Alicia, "You're talking like that in front of others?"

"No, no, I just want to ask, this...Mr."

Zheng Yan was still young, but he was very kind to him. Scarlett didn't know how to address him for a while, but finally called him sir, "What's going on with your ghost hands?"

"God said: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Zheng Yan said indifferently.

"God never said that." Alicia slapped Zheng Yan on the shoulder, already slightly angry, "How can you make fun of God?"

"I understand." Scarlett knew she said something she shouldn't have said, "But at least stay for dinner, I really want to repay you."

"Is there a habit of keeping people to eat in other worlds?" Zheng Yan wondered in his mind.

"It looks like it's still very early." Alicia looked at the sky.

"Brother, can you stay?" Xiao An pitifully came to Zheng Yan. After being baptized by the holy light, he looked much cleaner.

"Okay." Alicia agreed first, and Zheng Yan could only follow helplessly.

This meal has actually been prepared, but it was delayed due to previous events, and now it seems to have become afternoon tea.

The taste was indeed good, and Alicia was impressed, but Zheng Yan couldn't say the same.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

During this period, Zheng Yan also roughly learned some things about Scarlett. Scarlett used to work for a certain department of the empire. She resigned due to some reasons and was later attacked by an unknown strong man. Her husband died as a result and she was seriously injured. She took her son with her.

After running around, I finally couldn't support my body anymore and stopped at this border place.

Later, because of a loan for medical treatment, she signed a contract and was restricted to this city by the power of the contract. This is why this woman said that her destiny was bound by this city.

Although it was briefly described, both Zheng Yan and Alicia understood the hardship involved, otherwise why would this child be swallowed up by the darkness in despair?

"You should work hard tomorrow and strive to win. Your future will not have to be so difficult."

Before leaving, Zheng Yan said to the skinny Xiao An.

Xiao An did not reply. He lowered his head and looked very complicated, as if he was engaged in some ideological struggle.

After Zheng Yan and Alicia said goodbye to Scarlett, they turned around and left together, walking out of the fenced courtyard.

"Brother, wait a minute."

The child suddenly chased after him and looked at Zheng Yan melancholy. When Zheng Yan turned around, he bit his lip and said, "Give me a sum of money and I will give up this duel."

Zheng Yan frowned and stared at the child. A look of disappointment seemed to flash in his eyes, and he turned around and left without saying a word.

"..." Alicia raised her beautiful eyebrows, thought about the situation at the moment, and said nothing, turned around and left with Zheng Yan.

"Alas."

Under the wooden house, Scarlett looked at this scene and only felt distressed. She blamed herself deeply. If all this had not happened, how happy this child would be. None of this at this moment should be borne by him.

"I don't want to fight, I don't want to duel with others, and I don't care about the glory of swordsmanship. If you give me money, you will have one less opponent tomorrow. My idea is very simple. I just want to save my mother."

The child's sad voice spread far away, but the two figures did not come back.

He lowered his head and just stood there silently, looking downcast and desperate.

Bang!

A wooden stick was thrown at his feet, and Zheng Yan's cold voice sounded in the child's ears.

"Come and fight with me. Even if you lose now, NTM will have to participate in that duel tomorrow. This is your only way to survive!"
