Other women followed suit and said, "That's right, beat him out of this idea. For example, if my kid doesn't listen, I'll beat him up too."

"Now, then, he should be well behaved... You can't pamper Shitou too much. Look at you two, you two are reluctant to touch him."

"You will only spoil the child. If he really runs away one day, you two will just cry!"

Shitou's mother's face became uglier, but the women around her seemed not to notice and kept chattering: "Besides, what if you don't have a martial spirit? Don't you still have to live a normal life?"

"Could it be that because I don't have a martial spirit, I can still seek death... Then how many people will have to die in this world before it ends..."

They chattered a lot, but Shi Tou's mother just did the work in her hands and ignored them... When it was time to eat, Shi Tou's mother sat at the table and couldn't help looking around, and she didn't even eat the food in front of her.

A kind-hearted woman asked, "What's wrong, Mother Shitou? Are you feeling unwell? I see you didn't eat much of your meal."

"Are you tired recently? You got up so early today. Do you want me to help you go back and rest?"

Shitou's parents are both hardworking and capable, so these days, the couple has not been lazy and has completed all the tasks assigned by the village seriously and responsibly. Many people have seen this and their attitude towards the couple has become much better.

After hearing this, Shitou's mother waved her hands in surprise and said, "No need. I was looking for Shitou. I didn't see him coming over. Maybe he was eating with his father."

When the old lady heard this, she also looked around and said, "Isn't Little Shitou here? Maybe he went to look for his dad like you said."

Shitou Niang grinned, hummed softly, and said with a somewhat ugly expression: "Maybe he had gone crazy playing with the other children. It's possible. I'll go and have a look after I finish eating."

At this moment, a child happened to pass by not far from them. The old lady quickly called the child and asked, "Did you see the stone?"

The child was stunned by the question, thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I didn't see Shitou all morning. He didn't play with us."

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Maybe he asked Brother Hutou to play with him. Usually they play together."

After saying that, he skipped away again. Shitou's mother's face looked a little better, and the aunt comforted her, "Okay, don't think too much. It's rare to have such a lively time, and it's normal for children to play like crazy."

Mother Shitou nodded slightly, turned around randomly, ate the rice in her bowl twice, and then stood up and left... Seeing her leave, the women at the table couldn't help but discuss: "No one in their family has a martial spirit. I guess Shitou can't stand such a gap."

"I guess she must have made a lot of noise at home, otherwise you can see her face just now, it's so ugly."

"Who says it's not true? They are also a family with a hard life... But they can't stand it, so what can they do?"

"This martial spirit can't be developed later in life. If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. And you're still throwing tantrums with your parents. It's a good thing this child isn't mine."

"If it was my child, I would have beaten him up a long time ago, and made him obedient and work hard for me."

"Without a martial spirit, he has to learn how to make a living. How can we allow him to be so willful?"

"We have to consider the long-term future of our children. This stone's parents are also confused..."

This situation occurred not only on Shi Tou's mother's side, but also on Shi Tou's father's side. No matter what others said, everyone had a lively meal.

After dinner, Lu Yu and Luo Shen left the Holy Soul Village with the farewell of Old Jack and the villagers. Lu Yu and Luo Shen walked towards the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. The distance from the Holy Soul Village to Notting City is actually not far.

The two of them walked very fast. Not long after they went, they saw a small figure appear in front of them. It was Shi Tou who was carrying a small bag. After seeing Shi Tou, Lu Yu and Luo Shen looked at each other, and one of them grabbed one of Shi Tou's arms and tacitly mobilized their soul power.

Before Shitou could say anything, he felt as if he was flying... The speed was too fast. The wind in his face made it impossible for him to open his mouth. However, he was extremely excited in his heart.

Is this the power of soul power? It can make people walk so fast, as if they are flying in the sky... If the seal of my martial soul is cracked, can I become as powerful as Brother Lu Yu and Sister Luo Shen?

They walked for most of the day before Lu Yu and Luo Shen gradually stopped and found a forest to rest. If Luo Shen hadn't been there, Lu Yu would have chosen to just eat some dry food, but Luo Shen had suffered for so many years and now liked delicious food.

Lu Yu always prepared a lot of food for her in his space soul guide. Just like now, Lu Yu took out the food and heated it up, and she could actually eat a delicious meal of two meat dishes and one vegetable in the wilderness... This made Shi Tou's eyes widen even more.

He didn't expect that Brother Lu Yu could actually create delicious meals just by saying so. He thought excitedly in his heart - I must become a soul master, an excellent soul master like Brother Lu Yu and the others.

But while the three of them were eating leisurely here, the Holy Soul Village was in chaos because Shitou's parents found that Shitou was missing. They asked many children in the village, and they all had one person who had seen Shitou in the morning.

The whole morning... At that time, they were busy preparing today's meals, and some people went to receive tourists who came to play. No one paid attention to the stone at all. So where was this kid? Where did he go?

After hearing the news, the village chief immediately sent a few men who were free to start looking for Shitou in the surrounding area... but they didn't see Shitou until nightfall, and Shitou's mother's eyes were so red and swollen from crying that they looked like walnuts.

She was really sad, very sad... because Shitou had left them, and now he was probably walking to Notting City with Lu Yu and the others. It was uncertain whether she would see him again in the future, because he was the child she had raised since he was a child.

When she thought about the two of them having to separate like this, and she didn't know if the six-year-old boy could take care of himself, Shitou's mother felt even more sad...

But the others didn't know the reason. Suddenly, someone whispered, "Shi Tou said a few days ago that he wanted to leave Holy Spirit Village and go to a bigger city to make himself more powerful."

"He won't... he won't leave, will he? He wants to go to the big city and become more powerful?" These words were like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan, and it exploded instantly. All the children said, "Shi Tou has been acting strange these past few days. He doesn't play with others and just squats there by himself."

"But when we walked past him, we would always hear him mumbling something about how he must become better and stronger."

Of course, some children have heard this before: "Shitou said he must go to a big city to look for opportunities. Maybe he has really left."

Upon hearing this, Shitou's mother cried even harder... Of course, they searched in the village for another two days and then gave up. After all, the village still had tourists to receive and every household was very busy. Who could help them find their child every day without hesitation?
Only Shitou's father and mother had sad looks on their faces every day. Even Shitou's mother often went to the village entrance and looked into the distance. In the end, everyone could only conclude that Shitou had left...

On the other side, Shi Tou, Lu Yu and the other two took a rest. Lu Yu took out the things he had prepared in advance and began to change Shi Tou's appearance - for example, using a special powder to make Shi Tou's skin look more waxy and dark.

He took out another black movable thing and stuck it on Shi Tou's face. The originally fair and pretty Shi Tou instantly turned into a malnourished child with a huge black birthmark on his face. Shi Tou had never expected that Brother Lu Yu would turn his image into this... indescribable appearance.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he held back and didn't say anything. However, Lu Yu was very satisfied with his work. He explained, "If you are made too good-looking, you will definitely attract people's attention, which will increase the risk unnecessarily."

"You are a little ugly now, but I'm sure other people won't be interested in an ugly child like you."

"By the way, from now on you will not be called Shitou. Your name is Erheizi. You have been an orphan since you were young. As far as you can remember, you have been wandering on the streets begging for food."

"You never knew when you were born, where you were born, or who your parents were."

"When I was very young, I was adopted by an old woman. Although your conditions were not good, you were still very happy relying on each other."

"But then the old woman passed away. You had nothing to eat or drink in that place, so you left."

"As for which city you and the old woman lived in, and where you lived, you are too young to remember anything."

“I just remember that I was very hungry, so I kept walking outside, trying to find something to eat… and then I couldn’t find my way back.”

"...And I am your big brother who saved you and took you in when you were begging and being bullied."

As Lu Yu and his companions were on their way, they told Shitou what his future life would be like, and asked him to roughly describe his past. There were some details that Shitou didn't know, after all, he was too young at that time.

I don't remember much, and if I tell everything clearly, it will arouse suspicion... Soon, the three of them saw the city wall in the distance, which was the city of Nottingham.

They walked towards there step by step. Due to the special geographical location of Nottingham City, it is located at the border junction. So although the city is not large in scale, the city walls are very tall and thick, which can be seen at a glance that they are designed to defend against foreign enemies.

After the three of them were inspected at the gate, they were allowed to enter Notting City. Lu Yu walked in front of them with ease. The Notting Junior Soul Master Academy was located in the west of Notting City. With Lu Yu leading the way, they arrived here quickly.

Looking at the tall arch not far away, Shitou couldn't help but feel very excited: "Brother Lu Yu, this arch is really too wide. It looks like it must be at least 20 or 30 meters wide, right?"

Lu Yu nodded: "About the same. This door is probably more than 20 meters wide and more than 10 meters high."

Shitou exclaimed: "As expected of a Soul Master Academy, such a tall gate is built with solid rock."

"Even the two huge iron doors below must not be something that ordinary people can make and install."

"I guess it's the soul masters of this soul master academy who can achieve this by using their soul power, right?"

"Brother Lu Yu, can I study in a place like this in the future?"

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head: "We shouldn't discuss this now. I'll tell you when I have time."

Luo Shen on the other side was also observing the environment here. Behind the gate there was a road leading inside with tall trees on both sides. But standing here, one could not see what was behind it at all.
Just from the imposing gate of this academy, it is not difficult to see how important being a spirit master is on this continent. This is just a junior spirit master school, but it has such a strong aura...

Lu Yu said that this was not just a very small city, a very small junior soul master academy. If one really went to those big cities, or more advanced soul master academies, the environment would be much better than the conditions here.

However, Luo Shen didn't care too much about the conditions outside. The key point was to be able to learn more professional knowledge and have a better understanding of the soul masters of this continent. That was the most important thing.

Lu Yu led the two to the front door, and was immediately stopped by the gatekeeper: "What are you doing? Who told you to come to our school?"

Lu Yu showed his ID without saying a word. After seeing Lu Yu's ID, the gatekeeper nodded immediately and asked, "What about them?"

Lu Yu had already asked Su Yuntao for help, and had prepared a certificate with the signature of the Spirit Hall and handed it to the gatekeeper: "She is coming here to report and study."

The gatekeeper frowned, glanced at the certificate, and let the few people pass... Since the last time the village chief brought them to this gatehouse, the gatekeeper here has been replaced.

Although the new doorman was strict in his inspections, he was not greedy and would not deliberately make things difficult for ordinary people, which made Lu Yu have a good impression of him... After taking Luo Shen to complete the admission procedures, he sent him to the girls' dormitory.

Lu Yu said to Luo Shen in a soothing tone: "You should practice well here and wait for me to come back obediently." (End of this chapter)
