Han Wuxie slammed his fist on the table in anger, shouting, "Whether they're disabled, or end up as villains, unfilial children, or greedy for wealth, it's all because of the kidnappers who took them away! While we can't say that children who stayed with their parents and weren't kidnapped would necessarily become good or successful, growing up with parental love and a loving life would inevitably instill love in their hearts. They couldn't possibly become heinous villains or unfilial children! All of this is the sin of the kidnappers!"

Xiao Bai sighed softly. A gust of wind rustled past her ear, and her gaze turned cold and sharp. She said warily, "Master, this person doesn't mean any harm!"

Han Wuxie also noticed the heavy footsteps in the corridor. She narrowed her dangerous eyes slightly and said in a low voice, "Xiao Bai, turn back into your original form first. If the ones coming are kidnappers, they'll be delivering themselves to our doorstep!"

Little Bai smiled sweetly. In this vast land of Kyushu, how could a mere kidnapper be a match for her master?

He confidently transformed back into his rabbit form, obediently lying on the table, looking like he was watching a good show.

Voices could be heard coming from outside the door.

"Are you sure it's in here?"

"Yes, boss."

"The little girl is all alone, is there anyone else?"

"Yes, boss."

"Is the young girl really that pretty?"

"So fresh and beautiful! It'll definitely fetch a good price! Hehe..." A lewd laugh followed.

"Alright! Let's go!"

"Yes, boss!"

With a loud crash, the door was kicked open and smashed to the ground.

The loud noise attracted a crowd of onlookers. Many guests curiously opened their doors to look, but upon seeing the burly man who kicked the door, his thick arms, his imposing figure, and his four henchmen behind him, the guests quickly closed their doors, and the onlookers fled.

The innkeeper came when he heard the noise, but he could only sigh inwardly. It was a small matter if no one compensated for the door, but offending these deadly guys would mean the inn's demise. He could only leave with his head down, pretending that nothing had happened.

Han Wuxie glanced coldly at the fleeing people and began to agree with what Xiaobai had said earlier: these people were all cowards, afraid of death!

The burly man carried a large sword on his back, looking like a trained martial artist. His four henchmen, though not as strong as him, were still tall and imposing. Clearly, even without martial arts skills, they could still lord it over the Nine Provinces Continent by sheer brute force.

"Haha, she's really beautiful!" The burly man looked at Han Wuxie with shining eyes, as if he were looking at a pile of gold instead of a person.

The four lackeys fawned, "Boss's luck is truly heaven-sent! Since we arrived here, we've already closed one big deal after another. We never expected that today, just when we were thinking of moving to another location, another big deal would come knocking on our door!"

Han Wuxie treated the five people as if they were invisible, drinking his tea and leisurely flipping through the books in his hands.

Seeing that the girl wouldn't even look at the group, one of the henchmen scratched his head and said, "Boss, this girl seems to be blind."

"Blind?" The burly man looked at the little girl, slapped the head of his henchman, and roared, "You bastard, you're the blind one! Would a blind person have such bright, watery eyes? Can a blind person read?"

The beaten-up henchman rubbed his head aggrievedly and said in a bitter voice, "Boss, she's not blind. Why does it seem like she didn't see us? Isn't it normal to react when someone suddenly kicks down the door? Shouldn't you be terrified?"

"Hey, now that you mention it, I also find it strange! She seems very calm, not afraid or scared at all!" Another follower stared wide-eyed at Han Wuxie as if he were looking at a rare animal.

The burly man spat, "You bunch of idiots! He's scared out of his wits, that's why he's expressionless, holding the book and not daring to move!"

"No way! Boss, look at her, she seems to be reading a book!" Halfway through his sentence, Han Wuxie turned a page, and the follower, as if startled, exclaimed, "Boss, look, look! She's moving around freely, she's completely ignoring us, she's reading, and she's really enjoying it!"

The burly man was speechless for a long time, as if he had swallowed a fly whole.

"What's going on?" The burly man snapped out of his daze, angrily exclaiming, "How dare she not be afraid of me! I'm a notorious villain, feared by children and even wet in her pants! How dare she ignore me? How am I supposed to face the world now! No way, I have to make her fear me!"

"That's right!" the four henchmen shouted in unison.

The burly man stomped his feet hard on the floor, each step seemingly trying to create a hole in the ground.

The ground trembled intermittently, but Han Wuxie remained engrossed in his book, completely unmoved.

The burly man walked up to Han Wuxie and roared, "Little brat, how dare you ignore me!"

Han Wuxie covered her face with a book. To be honest, when the big man roared, a strong stench of bad breath hit her face, which was really hard to bear. She wanted to ignore it and continue reading, but she could only cover her nose with the book. The bad breath was too terrible.

"What do you mean!" The burly man was furious when he saw that she looked at him with disgust.

Han Wuxie stood up and took several steps back.

The four henchmen walked up to the burly man and laughed loudly, "Boss, she's scared of you! Look at her, she's backing away in fear!"

Han Wuxie retreated to a safe area, then removed the book from his face, fanned himself with his hand in front of his nose, and glared at the burly man with annoyance: "Hey, gorilla, how many days has it been since you brushed your teeth? You stink more than a latrine!"

"Gorilla!" The burly man was so angry he almost choked.

He was only wearing a cloth vest on his upper body, and you could clearly see a thick patch of hair on his chest. Combined with his dark skin, the description was so apt that his four henchmen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Huff huff huff..." The burly man was panting heavily, glaring angrily at the four people behind him.

The four men hurriedly covered their mouths, but it was too late; the burly man's fists were already raining blows on their faces.

"Internal strife?" Han Wuxie pursed his lips, picked up Xiaobai from the table, and said as if talking to himself, but actually to Xiaobai, "These people came to kidnap me, how come they ended up fighting among themselves? Should I continue watching the show, or just leave?"

The henchman, unable to get up after being beaten, wailed, "Boss, stop hitting her! The girl is trying to run away!"

The burly man grew anxious, glaring angrily at Han Wuxie. Seeing that she hadn't actually moved, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Little girl, you better behave yourself! If you dare to try anything funny, I'll beat your pretty face until it looks like these four pig heads!" The burly man took out a rope and approached step by step.

Han Wuxie did not resist and let the burly man tie her up. The little rabbit jumped into the cloth bag on Han Wuxie's back.

The burly man and his four henchmen exchanged glances. At first, they thought this little girl would be difficult to handle, but they didn't expect her to be so resigned to her fate.

"Those who know when to yield are wise..." The big man wanted to say something cultured, but he stopped himself at the last word.

The four henchmen looked completely bewildered. They didn't even understand the first few words, so of course they couldn't continue.

Little White rolled its eyes and thought to itself: These guys are so stupid that even I, a rabbit, am more cultured than them!

They intended to carry Han Wuxie away, but Han Wuxie calmly said, "I can walk by myself."

The burly man asked curiously, "Little girl, you don't seem afraid of us, so why are you so obedient and letting us tie you up? Is it really because I beat these four guys and saw how bruised and swollen they looked that you're scared and don't want to be beaten by me, that's why you're being so obedient?"

Han Wuxie said calmly, "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

The burly man slapped his forehead, as if knocking out a cork from his brain, and laughed loudly, "Right, right, it's Jay! I've been thinking for ages, but I couldn't come up with the last word!"

He pretended to be a cultured man and repeated the sentence again: "As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. This little girl is so sensible; selling you to a brothel would be a real loss! Why don't you come with us, acknowledge me as your master, and I'll teach you martial arts, and also some petty theft techniques! I believe that soon you'll be a top-notch member of the organization!"

Han Wuxie couldn't help but roll his eyes. If it weren't for saving those who had also been captured by them, he would have wanted to beat the man into a pig's head right now!

They walked through dark alleys, winding and turning, until they arrived at a large house.

Han Wuxie was stunned. This mansion was very large and the interior decoration was very grand. On the surface, it seemed that only high-ranking officials and nobles could live there. But in reality, it was a dark mansion used for child trafficking.

"Boss, weren't you going to raise this child properly?" the four henchmen frowned. "Why did you still send her here?"

"Forget it. A little boy would be fine, but a little girl with me is such a hassle!" The burly man scratched his head, somewhat reluctant, but still hardened his heart and said, "Little girl, you can stay here. Let the boss deal with you. I'm just doing this out of necessity!"

"Suffering and helplessness?" Han Wuxie looked at him.

The burly man scratched his head and sighed, "Back in the day, I was also inexplicably kidnapped. Actually, I quite hated kidnappers, but life forced me into this line of work. If I hadn't chosen to learn skills from those kidnappers back then, I would have had my legs broken and beg on the streets! Sigh, never mind, I won't say anymore! You'd better take care of yourself!"

The burly man waved his hand and said to his four henchmen, "Go and call the boss to check the goods. After we collect the money, let's hurry up and leave! This young girl is too charming; I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it. Let's go, let's go!"

Han Wuxie pursed her lips. She was left in an empty room by the five men, still tied up. Suddenly, someone opened the window, looked inside, and then left. They were probably the watchers the big man had mentioned.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the door was opened and three people dressed as servants walked in. Without saying a word, they picked up Han Wuxie and carried him towards the west wing.

Han Wuxie remained silent, pretending to be asleep, letting them do as they pleased.

The servants stopped in front of a room with a very dilapidated door. They opened the door and Han Wuxie squinted as he looked around. He saw that the room was full of children, many of whom were even younger than Xingyu and Tianci.

A servant said coldly, "Be careful, this little girl is very pretty. The boss said she can fetch a high price. Be gentle, don't hurt her face."

The other two servants responded in unison, and cautiously, seeing that the room was too small and there was almost no empty space, they rudely kicked the children aside to make room before gently putting Han Wuxie down.

The children he had kicked away were already bruised and swollen. Now, kicked away again, they cried out in pain, but their voices were very soft, as if they were deliberately suppressing them. Their eyes were filled with extreme fear, afraid that their cries of pain would provoke a brutal beating from the servants, who were as vicious as jackals and leopards.

The three servants slammed the door shut, the heavy creak of the shackles making the children tremble involuntarily.

After the three servants had gone far away, Han Wuxie opened his eyes and looked at the children, a wave of bitterness welling up in his heart.

The windows of this room were sealed from the inside with thick wooden strips, making the room pitch black except for a sliver of light filtering in through the cracks in the dilapidated door.

Bloodstains were visible on the old, gray floor. Almost every child had injuries. After all, no one would accept being captured so resignedly. They must have put up a great fight to deserve such a beating. In a place like this, if you don't accept your fate, resistance will only result in more and more brutal beatings.

How could these young children, with their delicate limbs, withstand such brutal beatings? That's why many children are crippled before any buyers even come to them, preventing them from making a sale. Kidnappers can't just live off them, so they force them to abandon their dignity and beg along the way. If they can't beg, they are met with endless beatings.

Those who were timid, trembling, and dared not resist might have a better fate, because they were not beaten and were relatively obedient. When a buyer came, they would naturally be sold. If no buyer wanted them, the smarter and more qualified ones would be trained to become the organization's next generation of "talents".

Looking at the children, Han Wuxie roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred children locked up in this small room. The oldest was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest looked only two or three years old. They couldn't even take care of their own bodily functions, and their pants were covered in filth.

The room reeked of blood and the stench of children's excrement, making it almost suffocating. This made it all the more chilling. Such a dark and foul-smelling environment was used to imprison so many young and innocent children. Even an adult would find it difficult to stay here for an hour, yet these children had no idea how long they had been held captive.

Han Wuxie felt his face getting wet, and then realized that tears were already streaming down his face.

She disliked crying, feeling it was a sign of weakness. But after witnessing everything here, tears flowed uncontrollably. It was the natural reaction of anyone with a conscience who saw all this. Even the most cold-blooded person might have their eyes well up with tears when they saw these poor, innocent children suffering such inhuman pain.

Han Wuxie took a deep breath. The stench in the air made her feel uncomfortable, but thinking about how long these children had been locked up here, she tried to adjust and calm herself down. She took a deep breath and told herself that she had to help them.

As Han Wuxie took a deep breath, several of the bound children began to wriggle around to her side.

A child about the same age as Han Xingyu, seeing the tears on Han Wuxie's face, asked softly, "Sister, why are you crying?"

Han Wuxie smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was saying she was fine but her eyes were still wet, the little girl pouted and said, "Don't cry, don't be sad. Look at me, Xiaoyu. I was hurt by them, but I didn't cry! Mother said that crying is a sign of weakness. Xiaoyu doesn't want to show weakness to those bad guys, so Xiaoyu won't cry for them! Sister, don't cry for them either, okay?"

This weak voice, though very soft, weak, and powerless, somehow revealed a powerful strength within the child's voice.

The power of words isn't discerned by their volume. This child, perhaps due to prolonged hunger, spoke weakly, yet every word she uttered carried immense strength—the power of will! Perhaps this was the only New Year that sustained this four- or five-year-old child's resilience! She refused to cry, refusing to show weakness to the bad guys!

Han Wuxie looked at the child, and his heart couldn't help but clench.

The child's clothes should have been silver, but now they were red, with deep bloodstains clearly telling the story of how she was whipped. There were two deep welts on her face. This was a child who should have been lovely! But she was like a little flower, trampled underfoot! Her hair was covered in blood and almost impossible to comb. Her two banana braids were now askew, as if they had been pulled hard. There was a huge handprint on her cheek, and congealed blood remained at the corner of her mouth.

Clearly, her refusal to show weakness and her strong will brought her repeated beatings and pain, but the child's eyes still shone brightly, seemingly filled with strong expectations, and she was never disappointed.

"Sister, don't cry. Our parents will definitely come to save us. We must be strong." Xiaoyu comforted Han Wuxie like a little adult.

"I..." Han Wuxie was speechless, unsure what to say. He wasn't crying out of fear, but from seeing their pitiful state! Putting himself in their shoes, if he were an ordinary, defenseless child, captured and brought here by these people, could he remain so calm, could he not resist? The answer is no, he would definitely resist. And what would be the result of resistance? He would be brutally beaten, covered in wounds just like them! So, covered in wounds and suffering, could he, like this child, remain optimistic and still hold onto hope? The answer is difficult, perhaps impossible. Perhaps he would have already given up hope, resigned himself to his fate, or submitted!

Han Wuxie took a deep breath; she seemed to have grown accustomed to and adapted to the stench of blood mixed with stench.

She looked closely into the children's eyes, and to her surprise, every single one of them had bright, expectant, and hopeful eyes! Not one of them was heartbroken or in despair!

She then realized that all the children were seriously injured, and some were even nearly crippled. These were probably children who refused to submit and were difficult to control. The obedient ones must have been sold long ago. How many children had those people abducted?

"Sister, you're so beautiful." Seeing that Han Wuxie had stopped crying, Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and said with envy, "Mother said that people who are beautiful in this life are those who did a lot of good deeds in their past lives and accumulated virtue, so God made them beautiful in this life. Sister, you must have done a lot of good deeds in your past life."

Han Wuxie looked at her intently and smiled, "Xiaoyu is also very cute and beautiful."

Xiaoyu lowered her head, blushing slightly. She sniffed, trying hard not to cry, and whispered, "Xiaoyu isn't pretty anymore; her face is covered in scars."

"No, Xiaoyu's heart is beautiful," Han Wuxie gently comforted her.

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and she smiled brightly. She had two deep dimples, and when she smiled, her mouth curved into a crescent moon, making her look very cute.

At first, because the servants kicked them away, none of them dared to approach Han Wuxie. However, the children around them saw that Han Wuxie and Xiaoyu were chatting happily and that Han Wuxie was an easy person to get along with, so they all gathered around.

There was a three-year-old child who was having a nice chat when he suddenly burst into tears.

Han Wuxie, puzzled, asked, "Xiao An, why are you crying?"

Xiao An bit her lip and said pitifully, "My sister is a good sister, but those bad people just said that someone will come to buy her tomorrow! You'll end up like my own sister, taken away by them, and we won't see you again!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, and a shadow seemed to fall over all the children's faces.

"Your own sister?" Han Wuxie frowned and asked, "Was Xiao An's sister arrested along with Xiao An?"

Xiao An sniffled, tears still welling in her eyes, and said in a hoarse, childish voice, "It started raining. Mom told my sister and me to eat in the shop and not to run around while she went to buy an umbrella. But as soon as Mom left, some bad guys sat down at our table. My sister said she didn't know them and tried to chase them away, but they yelled and said we were their children who had sneaked out to play. Everyone in the shop believed them, and no one helped us. They forcibly dragged us away and locked us up here. Later, my sister tried to escape with me, but they found us and beat me... Waaah..."

As they talked, Xiao An started to cry. Xiao Yu, like a little adult, said, "Xiao An, don't cry! If you cry, those who hit you will only be happier! We can't let them be happy!"

Xiao An nodded vigorously. His tears made the wounds on his face ache even more. He said hoarsely, "Later, a woman came here. She took many of our girls away, including my sister. I don't know how she is. I'm so worried!"

Han Wuxie lowered her eyes. She didn't know much about the mortal realm, but after hearing what Xiaobai had said about child abduction, she had already guessed a bit. Xiao An's sister had probably been sold to a brothel.

Among the children was a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old. The boy had a noticeable scar on his left cheek, but it looked like it had been there for a very long time, not like it was a recent injury.

He spoke with maturity and composure, yet with a cruel cruelty: "Xiao An, your sister must have been sold to a brothel..."

Xiao An waved her hands and shook her head violently, crying out, "No, it can't be! Mother said that brothels are places only bad women go. My sister is so good, my sister is so good, it's impossible, it's impossible for her to go there!"

The boy frowned and snapped, "We all have to face reality! Tomorrow, they'll send more people to check on us. Those they fancy will be taken away, and we can't choose where they take us! Brothels, dockworkers, crippled people being dragged out to beg—none of these are things for humans! We must fight back!"

"Resist?" Xiaoyu frowned, gritted her teeth, and said fiercely, "Yes, resist!"

Xiao An and a few other younger children pouted and said weakly, "But we've resisted so many times, we've tried to escape so many times, but we always get caught and beaten. It's all useless."

The boy's resolute and cold gaze suddenly darkened. He lowered his head, then turned to look at Han Wuxie, before sighing and muttering to himself, "Tomorrow, this little girl will likely suffer the same fate! She's so beautiful; that old woman will definitely take her away. Xiaoyu won't escape either. All the pretty girls here will fall into this fire pit! As a man, I can do nothing but watch helplessly, unable to even control my own destiny. I have no ability to help them! Our lives are ruined from this moment on! Blame these bad people! I miss my father, my mother, my grandmother, my grandfather..."

Han Wuxie looked at the boy, then at the children around him. Although the boy was talking to himself, his tone was heavy, as if he was deliberately speaking to everyone. The older boys around him all looked dejected, and the girls' eyes turned frightened.

Han Wuxie wanted to release them all now, but acting impulsively was not the best way to solve the problem. He needed to calm down and wait until the buyer came tomorrow to deal with the kidnapper and the buyer together!

"I'm so hungry..." Xiao An pouted, looking pitiful.

Xiaoyu and the other little girls comforted her, "Xiao'an, imagine there's a pancake right now, ouch, ouch, ouch, take a big bite!"

Xiao An obediently closed her eyes and began to fantasize, her mouth moving as if making smacking noises. Then, she gave a satisfied smile and said with a grin, "Thank you, sisters! Xiao An is full, not hungry anymore!"

Han Wuxie remained silent, watching the children suffer from cold and hunger, yet persevere with all their might. A pang of sorrow welled up within her, and her resentment towards the child traffickers intensified.

Even if that burly man today says that he was also a victim in the past, and that he committed these evil deeds because he was forced by life.

But none of these are excuses for doing evil, and none of these are excuses for a lost conscience!

On the contrary, because he had been hurt before and was the victim, he shouldn't drag more people down the same path as him. As someone who had been through it, he should understand how bitter such a fate is! But instead of resisting, he succumbed, dragging more people into his fate, and with a misanthropic heart, he did cruel things!

Unforgivable. No matter the reason, doing something to harm others is unforgivable!

There is no excuse for wrongdoing; wrong is wrong! No law will investigate why something is wrong, but only whether it is right or wrong! Although it is said that the law is not without human sentiment, when people who are also human beings are used as bargaining chips in business, they have already lost their humanity. How can they be absolved by human sentiment?

The night wind howled, and the wooden strips sealing the windows made an eerie sound as they were blown. The cold wind seeped in through the cracks in the door, and the children huddled together to keep warm. There wasn't even a quilt in the room, and their lips were already cracked. They didn't even have enough water to drink, let alone enough food to eat.

The night passed very slowly. The children seemed to have gotten used to the harsh environment and fell asleep, or perhaps because they were too hungry, too weak, or too cold, they fell into a near-comatose sleep.

Just as dawn was breaking, a considerable commotion arose outside the door.

The chains and shackles were unlocked, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the long-dark environment was suddenly brightly lit. The children, who had been awakened, were not used to closing their eyes and looked very uncomfortable.

Standing at the entrance was an old woman, heavily made up and dressed in brightly colored clothes, with an extremely exaggerated expression. Her voice was shrill and shrill, "Oh my, not bad at all! This little girl will definitely be the future courtesan queen, she can be the shop's prized possession!"

Beside the old woman stood a large, obese man, dressed in extremely wealthy clothes. His eyes were so narrow they were almost invisible, and his face was full of fat. He smiled obsequiously and said, "So you want it? How about a thousand taels?"

"One thousand taels?" The old woman narrowed her eyes.

The fat man, thinking the other party was unwilling, was about to offer a lower price when the old woman laughed loudly, "Deal! What a bargain! If this little beauty grows up, she'll definitely earn me a lot of money! Quickly, release the little beauty! I'm taking my precious daughter home right now!"

The fat man's lips twitched, and he was filled with regret. However, he couldn't say anything more, since this was a long-term business partner. If things got messy, the losses would be even greater in the future. It was better to make her happy this time!

The fat man glanced sideways at the two servants beside him and coldly ordered, "Quickly untie them."

Two servants rushed forward and untied Han Wuxie.

Han Wuxie wasn't in a hurry to deal with them. She slowly stood up, looked at the old woman, and said with an extremely beautiful smile, "You'll be my mother from now on?"

The old woman noticed that this little girl was different from the children she had bought before. The previous children would either cry or fuss, but this one was always so calm. She was initially surprised, then quickly recovered and happily asked, "You like me as your mother?"

Han Wuxie stepped forward, scrutinized the woman, and said coldly, "Are you worthy?"

The woman initially thought this young girl was different, but now she realized she was also a troublemaker, not someone to be trifled with! She wasn't exactly a saint either; after all, she'd been in that line of work for so many years, and had long since become a shrewish and ruthless expert! The old woman chuckled and said, "No matter how precious your former mother was, you must forget her! If you don't want to suffer, obediently call me 'Mom,' or else..." She raised an eyebrow at the fat man beside her, who looked at the two servants. The servants pulled out whips from their waists and lashed the ground, creating a whooshing sound and leaving a deep gash in the earth.

Han Wuxie showed no fear. Instead, he walked up to the two servants and said coldly, "You can try whipping them."

The two servants were stunned and looked at the fat man. The fat man looked at the old woman, who coldly said, "Slap! Not a penny less. As long as you don't hit her face, even if you cripple her, I'll still give you a thousand taels. That way, even if the girl is crippled, she'll definitely sell for a thousand taels in the future!"

The servant lashed out viciously, but when the whip struck Han Wuxie, she channeled her inner energy, and the whip landed on her without harming her; instead, the whip froze.

"What's going on?" The old woman was stunned with fright.

The servants refused to believe it and tried to continue slapping Han Wuxie, but this time their hands started to freeze from their fingers. The ice climbed up like vines, and he gradually became an ice man.

"What! Monster! This girl can actually use such sorcery!" The old woman screamed in fright and ran away as fast as she could, but just when she thought she had escaped far away, Han Wuxie reappeared in front of her in a bizarre way.

"You can't leave now. I haven't gotten back the people I bought before. You can't leave. Wait here for me!" Han Wuxie's voice was gentle, with an elegant smile. But in the old woman's eyes, this girl was like a devil. As soon as Han Wuxie finished speaking, she lightly tapped the old woman's arm with her finger, and the old woman froze on the spot, turning into an ice sculpture.

The fat man seized the opportunity to escape, but being greedy, he didn't head out of the mansion. Instead, he went to the storeroom, carrying a large amount of silver notes, intending to take them with him. However, just as he took the silver notes and stepped out of the storeroom, he saw a demon-like girl standing in front of him.

He hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing frantically on the ground, pleading, "Little girl, I don't know how those people managed to capture you. It's not my fault; I was just the middleman. Blame the person who captured you, the person who bought you!"

Han Wuxie coldly said, "Without you acting as a middleman, the people who arrested me wouldn't have anywhere to sell their children, so naturally they wouldn't have arrested any. And the people who want to buy children wouldn't have anywhere to buy them, so they wouldn't buy any! In the end, the most despicable one is you!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly placed all the silver notes he was holding in front of Han Wuxie's feet and pleaded, "Little girl, these, these are all for you. I'm only doing this for a little money, it's not worth risking my life!"

"He's utterly incorrigible!" Little White spat. "Master, he has far more silver notes on him than you did!"

Upon seeing a rabbit speak, the fat man rolled his eyes, stretched out his legs, and was scared to death.

Han Wuxie looked at the fat man who had been scared to death, unsure whether to laugh or cry. She glanced at Xiaobai and said dejectedly, "It seems I won't even have a chance to deal with him anymore. Heaven has already taken him."

"Master, shall we release those children? Killing such a person would only soil your hands. It's better if Heaven takes him away, so you won't have to sully your hands!"

Han Wuxie nodded slightly and jogged into the room, only to find that the children had already untied themselves. He then realized that they had escaped countless times before, and naturally, they wouldn't wait foolishly for such an opportunity.

Xiaoyu walked up to Han Wuxie. The door had been open the whole time, and they had all seen Han Wuxie's abilities. Xiaoyu looked at Han Wuxie with deep admiration, without any fear at all. In her heart, even if Han Wuxie knew sorcery and magic, as long as he was good to her and didn't harm her, he wasn't a bad person. Moreover, Han Wuxie had dealt with those bad guys, so he was her benefactor!

"Sister, you are our savior!" Xiaoyu suddenly knelt down.

Before Han Wuxie could help Xiaoyu up, he heard a series of knee-slapping sounds as all the children knelt down.

Han Wuxie hurriedly waved his hand, helped Xiaoyu up, and said anxiously, "What are you all doing? Get up! Get up, all of you!"

Many children didn't stand up as instructed, but instead knelt down and crawled to Han Wuxie on their knees. Xiao An was already in tears, her voice hoarse, pleading, "Sister, you're so amazing! I know you can save my sister! Sister, please, please help me save my sister!"

The other children joined in the plea: "Please, save my friend!"

"Please, please save my brother..."

"Please, please, save my sister..."

Han Wuxie quickly helped them up one by one, nodding vigorously and promising, "I will rescue them all, I will definitely rescue them! Don't cry, come with me to rescue them!"

More than a hundred children followed Han Wuxie. Han Wuxie thawed the old woman, who was too scared to speak. She had long lost her initial arrogance and obediently did whatever Han Wuxie said.

More than a hundred children were escorting a brothel madam, attracting the attention of many people on the street. Every now and then, onlookers would suddenly rush over with tears in their eyes, hugging one of the children and crying out, "Child, your mother has finally found you!" "Child, your father has finally found you!" "Child, your grandmother has finally found you!"...

The procession escorting the brothel madam, which was originally long, now includes many parents and relatives who have found their children and want to help rescue the other children, in addition to the more than one hundred children.

When they arrived at the brothel and found the little girls locked in the woodshed, whom the madam hadn't had time to discipline, the parents who found their children were overjoyed.

But while their families reunited and were overjoyed, those women who had long since fallen into prostitution, bought by brothels and abducted by traffickers, hid silently in the shadows. Their tears betrayed them. They pretended to be calm and indifferent, but deep down they longed for their families and to return home. They knew that these people were only looking for the children, not for them or to save them.

Han Wuxie noticed the women, but instead of looking at the madam, he walked directly up to them and said with a faint smile, "Come with us and leave this place."

She had thought that if she rescued them, they would be grateful, happy, and would leave with her. But to her surprise, all the women shook their heads at the same time.

"Why don't you leave?" Han Wuxie looked bewildered. Having only recently been born, she couldn't understand why these women were shaking their heads.
