Inside the storage ring, besides a pile of treasures from the Immortal Realm, there was also a thick stack of letters.
When she opened them, she discovered they were letters written to her by her disciples.
From the first letter to the last, the smile on Tang Guo’s face never faded.
After finishing, she placed the letters into a box, set several restrictions on it, and stored it in the system space. She even told the system, “This is very important. Don’t lose it for me.”
[Understood, Host.]
The system watched its energy surge upward. If it had a body, it would surely be spinning in place with joy. The host was very happy. It had not expected that just a few letters from her disciples could make her this happy.
It felt as though it understood something, yet also felt that it did not quite understand.
Secretly watching Tang Guo hanging from the tree and gazing at the moonlight, it fell into contemplation as well. Its intelligence had increased greatly, but since it was not human, it could not fully grasp the complexity of the human mind.
Within a few days, many people arrived outside the village.
This remote mountain village was exposed.
Whether it was Zhou Linlin, Xia Yu, or Ning Xiangsi, they all seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention Tang Guo’s existence to those people.
Zhou Linlin and Xia Yu were grateful that Tang Guo had saved them. If they spoke of her, would she be in danger?
As for Ning Xiangsi, she believed Tang Guo was a ghost. These people could not control her. Since they could not control her, then someone specialized would be needed to deal with her. So she also did not mention it.
At present, what she hoped for most was to bring the criminals in this village to justice. Other matters could be discussed later.
“Li Meiyun, we already know what you’ve been through. We’re here to take you away. You can come with us now.”
Li Meiyun had graduated from university ten years ago. While looking for a job, she had accidentally been abducted and brought here.
She sat numbly in the courtyard, with two children surrounding her and another in her arms. It was as if she had not heard the staff members speaking, immersed in her own world as she nursed her newborn son.
“Li Meiyun, you’re free.”
Li Meiyun lowered her clothes and looked up blankly. “Free?”
“Yes, you’re free. You can leave here now and begin a new life.”
Li Meiyun finally understood. She sprang to her feet, placed the child on a stool, and burst into tears of joy. “I can leave?”
“Yes, you can leave. We’re here to take you.”
Li Meiyun smiled happily. “Alright, I’ll go with you now.”
“Mom.”
“Mom, don’t leave me.”
“Waaah…”
“Meiyun, if you leave, what about the children? Are you going to let them grow up without a mother?” An old woman rushed out, pleading bitterly. “It’s been so many years. Haven’t we treated you well? If you leave, the children will be pitiful.”
Li Meiyun’s husband also stepped forward and held her hand. “Meiyun, don’t go, alright?”
Li Meiyun looked at the two sons clinging to her legs and the baby crying in the old woman’s arms.
She hesitated deeply. She wanted to leave this place. For the past ten years, there had not been a single day when she did not want to. But she had known she could not leave and could only live numbly.
Compared to others, she had indeed not suffered much abuse in this family. Especially these three sons, she could not bear to part with them.
At the moment she hesitated, a voice entered her ear. “You can’t bear to leave your children. Your heart has softened, hasn’t it?”
