However, the auras were not nearly enough to cause any trouble.

The room inside wasn’t small, but there was only one table.

At that moment, an old man slowly stood up from the table and bowed to Yan Yuezhi.

“Are you a teacher from the academy?” he asked.

“I’m just a student,” Yan Yuezhi said with a slight bow.

“Please, have a seat,” the old man said with a smile.

She sat down and observed her surroundings. The room was not small, but everything looked somewhat old.

Some people stood in the corners. They were wary of her presence.

There were also children whose clothes had been patched up countless times. They huddled behind the adults and stared at her in fear.

It seemed that her arrival had shaken them.

“Do you teach them here?” Yan Yuezhi asked.

“You must be joking. If anything, I teach them to be good people,” said the old man. “They are all children who have hardly ever left the house. After today, I’ll let them go into the deep mountains and never come out again.”

Yan Yuezhi remained calm. “How long have you been out here?”

“More than three hundred years. At first, we couldn’t adapt, but we didn’t cause trouble for anyone. When the Corpse Clan suddenly stirred up trouble some time ago and started to counterattack, we didn’t dare to respond. Later, when the Corpse Clan were dealt with, we were lucky enough to survive,” the old man said with a smile. “Thinking about it, people like us shouldn’t be living here, nor do we fit into this kind of life. It’s time to go back.”

The old man looked at Yan Yuezhi. “Will you let them pack their things and leave?”

His eyes flickered slightly. It was clear that the answer made him anxious.

Yan Yuezhi glanced at him and nodded.

His mouth curved into a smile. He expressed his genuine gratitude, then he turned to the people. “Go and pack your things.”

The others nodded.

Some of the children wanted to ask why they had to move, but the adults stopped them. They did not want any misstep to bring consequences.

When everyone had left, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Yan Yuezhi. “I hope you can leave my corpse intact so that others can take away my corpse and let go of any grudges they hold. It was indeed wrong of us to enter the human city without permission.”

Yan Yuezhi looked at him. She wondered what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, she said, “Do you have any Heavenly Corpse Pills?”

“We do have one,” said the old man respectfully. “Rest assured. All the valuable items we have are in the room and are left for you. Thank you very much for your mercy.”

“Can you take out the Heavenly Corpse Pill?” Yan Yuezhi asked.

The old man did not dare to hesitate.

A delicate box was placed in front of Yan Yuezhi, and a pill lay quietly inside.

After observing for a moment, she put it away.

Then, she left behind a storage treasure and stood up. “There’s no need to move. I hope you can teach these people well.”

With that, Yan Yuezhi walked away.

The old man was stunned. He could not believe it.

Finally, he bowed deeply to her.

Yan Yuezhi left the place. She stood outside and looked at the moon in the sky.

The Corpse Clan was a race that was hunted and killed in the West.

They were supposed to be killed on sight.

She did not do the same. Instead, she left some treasures behind for them.

She had wanted to leave behind some cultivation techniques, but she gave up in the end.

That might create trouble if they had different foundations in cultivation.

“Young lady, don’t you think you’re too kind?” asked a sudden voice from behind.

Yan Yuezhi turned to look.

A middle-aged man in slightly worn-out clothes had appeared behind her without her noticing.

“Senior Lou Mantian?”
