"Tushan Honghong." With the voice, Ren descended from the sky.
"I am Tushan Honghong." Tushan Honghong looked up at the strangely dressed man before her.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Ren, the administrator of the group." Ren said as he pointed his finger.
Boom! Crack! The two cages instantly shattered.
"Big Sis!" Rongrong, now free, immediately threw herself into Honghong's arms. Honghong hugged the frightened Rongrong, deeply shocked by Ren's appearance.
"So that chat group was real after all!" Initially, she thought it was just a trick by the Daoists and ignored it. The further she went, the more she realized the Daoists didn't pay attention to this thing at all. She sent out a plea for help with the mentality of a desperate last resort. She never expected that someone would actually come to save them!
Ren gently raised his hand again, and the airflow blew away the talismans on their bodies. The old Daoist watched this scene, both furious and terrified.
*****
He immediately sensed that this person's methods were bizarre!
"Run!" The old Daoist priest was well-versed in the strategy of the thirty-six stratagems, with running being the best option. He turned around, not caring about his Daoist robe, and just ran. Ren remained calm and unhurried, waiting until he had run three kilometers. With a flick of his hand, a stone flew into his grasp. He casually flicked it.
Whoosh! The stone shot out with lightning speed! A swift light flashed by.
Pfft! The stone accurately pierced the old Daoist priest's forehead.
Bang! His running body fell senselessly, tumbled a few times, and then became still.
Only then did Ren turn his gaze to the young Daoist priest. The young Daoist priest was shocked by Ren's methods. His expression, however, was calm; he didn't seem to care much about his own life or death. He didn't speak, just quietly watched Ren, allowing him to do as he pleased.
"You may leave," Ren said softly.
"!" The young Daoist priest was startled.
"But…" Tushan Honghong was a little anxious; these two were the bad guys who had captured them.
"I know you're not bad-hearted; you may go." This young Daoist priest was at least not evil.
"Thank you." The young Daoist priest reined in his startled emotions, took one last look at Honghong and Rongrong, then turned and left.
*****
"Do you know why I let him go?" Ren rubbed Tushan Honghong's small head.
"..." She didn't resist. Neither his strength nor the kindness of saving her allowed her to do so. But she did blink her intelligent, big eyes in genuine confusion.
"That young Daoist priest wasn't bad-hearted; he was even preparing to secretly release you."
"What?" Honghong and Rongrong exchanged disbelieving glances.
"So, you can't just judge people by their appearance." Ren smiled; these two Little ones were still too young.
"Mm!" Amidst the Little ones' exclamations, Ren picked up one with each arm, letting them sit in his arms, resting on his shoulders. Then he ascended into the air. "Which direction is your Tushan? There's still time; I'll take you back."
Rongrong didn't know who this man was. She lowered her head timidly, not daring to speak. Honghong's cheeks were also flushed. But she was braver than Rongrong; she looked around and finally pointed in a confirmed direction. "That way!"
"Alright." Ren flew at full speed. During this time, he manipulated the airflow to form a barrier, isolating the two Little ones from the effects of the high-speed air currents. He arrived at Tushan at the fastest speed, unimpeded.
He landed at the Tushan mountain gate. Just as he set the two Little ones down, a chilling icy aura struck. Ren neither dodged nor avoided, letting it approach him.
"Yaya! Don't!" Tushan Honghong tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Crack! The icy blade shattered the instant it neared Ren's body.
"Was it you who captured my elder sister and younger sister?!" A Little fox fairy with purple hair, not very tall, stood at the mountain gate with her hands on her hips, looking as if she was ready to fight Ren to the death.
"Yaya! Stop messing around, this is mine and Rongrong's savior."
"Huh? Didn't he capture you?" Tushan Yaya's imposing aura shrank, and she fiddled with her fingers.
"No, it was… it was the bad Daoist priest who captured us… Brother Ren saved us." Tushan Rongrong also explained.
Being called Brother by a Little loli? Ren: Hmm? I like it!
"Ah haha…" Tushan Yaya scratched her hair, let out an awkward laugh, and immediately bowed: "I'm sorry! I misunderstood you!!!" Honghong and Rongrong also bowed together. "Brother Ren, please forgive Yaya!"
"I'm not an unreasonable person, so I'll accept your apology." Ren shook his head, chuckling. "Since I've safely brought you back, I should leave now."
"Brother Ren is leaving already? We haven't properly thanked you!" Tushan Honghong tried to persuade him to stay.
"Forget it, your Tushan doesn't allow humans to enter freely now, right? I won't look for trouble, I'm off. If anything happens, talk in the Chat Group." Ren waved his hand and directly chose to return. His figure flashed and was gone.
"! Dis! Disappeared!" Tushan Yaya's eyes widened; she ran to where Ren had just stood, turned around, but couldn't find any mechanism.
"Elder Sister… what is a Chat Group?" Rongrong asked Honghong with her big eyes.
"..." After a long while, Honghong gave a bitter smile. She found that she couldn't articulate the information about the Chat Group. So she just casually made up a sentence: "It's a mysterious organization." Then she pulled her two younger sisters back.
At the same time, she secretly made a decision in her heart. She must become stronger! This kind of thing must not happen again in the future! She must protect her two younger sisters well! And she must repay his kindness properly!
