Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu walked in and immediately heard a series of rapid coughing sounds.    

"The other residual soul fragment of Heavenly Emperor Tai Qian is actually in such a place." Lu Yu scanned his surroundings.    

The entire courtyard was in shambles. The stone bricks on the ground were also missing everywhere. Only a dried date tree was hanging in the courtyard.    

In the courtyard, there was a half-closed shabby house, and the windows and windows were covered with dust.    

"Cough, cough, cough!"    

A series of violent coughs sounded out from within the house.    

Lu Yu pushed open the door and immediately smelled a strong medicinal smell.    

This place could be said to be the fourth wall of the house. There was a pot on top of the stove, and the medicinal herbs were boiling inside.    

There were only two children in the room. The girl was guarding the bed while the boy was lying on the bed with a pale face.    

Both of them looked to be around eight or nine years old. Their clothes were tattered and their faces were covered in dust.    

The girl was not surprised to see Lu Yu enter.    

"You are here to collect your debt, right? I can come with you, but I have to feed him the medicine first." The girl stood up and patted the dust off her body.    

The girl took down the pot and poured it into a bowl full of holes. She brought it to the boy's mouth.    

Lu Yu said, "I'm not here to collect the debt."    

The girl looked at Lu Yu with a strange look. She looked like she could not lie to him no matter what he said.    

Lu Yu was helpless. He pointed to a doll on the table and said, "I came for this."    

The doll looked very ordinary. The stitches on it were also very rough. It looked like it was simply sewn with some incomplete steps.    

The girl sighed and said, "This is my brother's only toy. Are you guys even going to take this away?"    

Lu Yu placed his hand on the doll. Immediately, a familiar feeling surged into his heart.    

"It really is the residual soul fragment of the Heavenly Emperor!" Lu Yu's eyes lit up.    

As if it had sensed Lu Yu, the residual soul fragment in the cloth doll trembled and immediately wanted to escape!    

However, how could Lu Yu give it such a chance? In almost an instant, Lu Yu's true qi penetrated into the cloth doll, and wiped away the traces of the residual soul on the fragment!    

An unwilling roar faintly sounded in the air.    

The girl raised her head curiously and looked around. She did not know what sound she had made just now.    

"I want to buy this doll. How much are you willing to bid for it?" Lu Yu squatted down and said.    

"This is just an ordinary doll. If you want it, then... Then one wen is enough. " The girl hesitated for a long time before finally reaching out a finger.    

One wen is only the cheapest price among mortals.    

Lu Yu was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he looked at the boy lying on the bed. "This is your brother?"    

The girl nodded and was a little sad. "He had a strange illness. The money at home was used to treat his brother's illness. Unfortunately, it was still not enough. I already owe a lot of money. I had to sell myself so that I could save it for my brother to treat his illness. "    

Lu Yu's heart moved. He suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar.    

Back then, Lu Yu had yet to regain his consciousness, and Lu Lengshuang had always been like this, taking care of Lu Yu.    

"This is strange. Why would the residual soul of the Heavenly Emperor of Taiqian find such an ordinary mortal?" Lu Yu muttered.    

At this moment, the shabby door behind Lu Yu was kicked open.    

"Little girl, follow me obediently, or else your little brother will lose his medicine today!" An incomparably arrogant voice sounded from outside.
