Li Xiaojun was walking on the street, but his consciousness noticed a little girl.

Under Li Xiaojun's observation.

After stealing three amethyst coins, the little girl quickly arrived at a shop selling flatbreads and spent three amethyst coins to buy thirty large flatbreads.

After selling the flatbreads, the little girl quickly left the bustling street.

Half an hour later, she arrived at what appeared to be a slum.

The houses here were made of wood frames covered with thatched roofs, resembling the houses where primitive people lived.

Li Xiaojun noticed that after the little girl entered the slum, she finally arrived at a courtyard surrounded by many thatched houses.

"Zishan sister is back."

"Zishan sister is back, and she brought a lot of flatbreads..."

"Zishan sister..."

As soon as the little girl entered the courtyard, she was quickly surrounded by a group of children.

There were more than thirty children in this group, some around ten years old, and some as young as two or three years old, being led or carried by the older children.

Most of these children had disabilities, some couldn't see, some had lame legs, some had cleft lips, and some were mute.

At this moment, all the children gathered around the little girl.

Many of the children's eyes lit up and looked at the flatbreads that the little girl had hidden in her arms and now held in her hands.

Many people even started to salivate.

"Don't make a fuss, everyone line up, I'm going to start distributing the flatbreads."

The little girl instructed everyone.

Upon hearing the little girl's words, all the children obediently lined up.

Soon, the little girl distributed most of the flatbreads to all the children.

She also shared half of a flatbread with a little child and ate it while drinking a bowl of water from a water jar.

"Interesting."

On the bustling street, Li Xiaojun's figure suddenly disappeared, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.

The next moment, Li Xiaojun's body appeared in the courtyard.

However, his body was floating in the air.

The reason he was floating in the air was that the courtyard was too dirty, and Li Xiaojun had a slight obsession with cleanliness.

Seeing Li Xiaojun suddenly appear, all the children in the courtyard were startled.

And the little girl called Zishan sister, after seeing Li Xiaojun's appearance, was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at Li Xiaojun with fear, trembling all over.

Li Xiaojun floated in place, looking at her, and she looked at Li Xiaojun.

After a while, the little girl spoke first.

"Ma, ma, magic, the mage is hitting people, I, I..."

The little girl couldn't articulate her words properly.

"It was me who stole your money. Please, please kill me and let my brothers and sisters go..."

Finally, the little girl, enduring her fear, knelt down on the ground and banged her head heavily on the ground.

She regretted it. She didn't expect that such a young nobleman would turn out to be a powerful mage.

Only a powerful mage could instantly appear in another place.

Now, a powerful mage had come to find her, surely to settle the score.

While the little girl was kowtowing to Li Xiaojun, the group of children in the courtyard moved away from her in fear.

Only a three or four-year-old girl with a defective nose stood beside an older girl, looking at Li Xiaojun with a stubborn gaze.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaojun frowned as he scanned all the children who had distanced themselves from the little girl.

At this moment, all the children in the courtyard looked at Li Xiaojun with fearful eyes, seemingly waiting for the fate to be decided.

After a moment, Li Xiaojun spoke lightly.

"You stole my money to buy food for these children, so I can give you two choices."

After speaking, Li Xiaojun remained silent.

Seeing Li Xiaojun's silence, the little girl looked up at him and timidly asked, "M-Master Magician, what are the choices?"

Upon hearing the little girl's question, Li Xiaojun finally spoke, "The first choice is that I kill you and spare all the children here."

"And... the second choice?"

"The second choice is that I spare you and then kill all the other children," Li Xiaojun said coldly.

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun's words, fear filled the eyes of all the children.

However, after thinking for a moment, the little girl's gaze showed a mix of relief, liberation, nostalgia, and determination.

"Make your choice," Li Xiaojun said to the little girl.

"I... I choose the first one," the little girl said with fear, tears streaming down her face.

Upon hearing the little girl's words, all the children around breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the three or four-year-old girl next to the little girl looked at her with sadness.

In the next moment, she gathered her courage and looked at Li Xiaojun.

"Master Magician, if you want to kill someone, kill me instead. Spare Sister Zishan..." she said.

Upon hearing this, the girl named Zishan's face turned pale, and she covered the little girl's mouth with her hand.

Then she quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xiaojun, saying, "Master Magician, please kill me and spare the others."

Hearing this, Li Xiaojun remained unmoved.

He said indifferently, "Here's what I'll do. I'll give you a chance. If five people in this group of children are willing to let me chop off one of their hands, I will spare you."

After speaking, Li Xiaojun pointed to the group of children behind them.

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun's words, fear once again appeared on the faces of all the children.

Only the three or four-year-old girl next to the little girl said without hesitation, "I'm willing to have one of my hands chopped off to save Sister Zishan."

Upon hearing this, Zishan looked at the little girl with a gaze full of gratitude.

Then she looked at the others, her eyes filled with hope.

Who would willingly choose death when given the chance to live?

At this moment, the little girl made a vow in her heart that she would repay whoever saved her life by any means necessary.

"What about the rest of you? Are you willing to have one of your hands chopped off to save her?" Li Xiaojun looked at all the children.

Upon hearing Li Xiaojun's words, everyone still had fear on their faces, but no one spoke.

Many children desperately tried to shrink back.

From this, it was clear that apart from the three or four-year-old girl, no one was willing to help Zishan.

"Since you're not willing, then I'll have to kill her," Li Xiaojun sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, all the children remained silent.

However, from their eyes, Li Xiaojun could see that they were relieved.

Many children even had a glimmer of anticipation in their eyes, hoping that Li Xiaojun would kill the little girl quickly and spare them.

Seeing this, Li Xiaojun shook his head.

The girl named Zishan, who was kneeling on the ground, also saw this.

After scanning the children hiding behind her, her gaze changed from hopeful to despair.

"Master Magician, please kill me," she said to Li Xiaojun again, kowtowing and burying her head deep in the ground. However, her whole body trembled, clearly crying.

In a place where no one could see, her tears had already wet a large area of the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaojun sighed.

He said to the two little girls kneeling on the ground, "Since neither of you is afraid of death, I'll give you another chance."

"What... what?" The little girl didn't look up, her voice muffled as she asked.

"Here's what I'll do. If you and this child are willing to become my apprentices, I will spare your lives. How about it? Are you willing?"
