Back For My Daughter

With Ye Qian and the little girls entered the meat shop everything was silent just as a graveyard at night but the most astounding thing was about the eerie silence in the shop and with it, the shop was still open despite no one was staying at the counter.

Usually, rarely will any shopkeeper leave his counter alone much less when it was about to be night and the thief and other such people might be lurking around usually.

Ye Qian narrowed his eyes and glanced around only to see there was no one in the whole shop and it seemed like it was abandoned.

"Butterfly, Jia wait here Papa will come back, saying that he waved his hand and the ring on his finger shone with bright light, soon it turned transparent and flew off his ring finger and went towards Little Qiqi and Little Jia."

Soon a white light appeared on the ring as it expanded and went above the two girls head and surrounded them with the white light.

"Papa, what is this?"

Little Qiqi asked seeing the ring on Ye Qian's finger flew to them and grew big and covered them.

"Butterfly, stay in this till Papa comes back."

"Jia, you too don't come out of the white ring."

Ye Qian didn't explain Little Qiqi and just told her to be in it while he turned to Little Jia and also said the same to her.

"Yes Papa, come soon."

The two nodded and waved their hands at Ye Qian.

He nodded at them and then walked to the back of the shop where he felt something was amiss.

"CREAK"

The old iron door was opened with a shrill creaking sound while the sound amplified in the empty shop sending a shiver to the little girls who were still in the light cylinder.

On top of their heads, the ring continued to float while various different colours of light albeit in small amounts would come out of the ring and into the white light.

The girls felt calm and their sudden sense of fear was gone.

What the girls didn't know was that the sudden shiver they felt was not due to the creaking of the door but some different reason.

But the thing ran away after the Samsara Ring emitted some of the Golden Light.

The little girls then sat there while talking some time until their Papa would come back to take them.

Meanwhile, as Ye Qian opened the door he was greeted by gloomy darkness, though it didn't affect him from seeing what was going in the room, after sniffing a few times he didn't want to smell the air in this area.

Ye Qian glanced around with his Divine Sight only to see a few people who had their faces covered were holding knives on the old man and the workers while the little Xiao Ya, was held by a man who seemed to be glaring at Ye Qian.

(The Xiao Ya here is different, here Xiao means Little and Ya is her name, so only her family members will address her as Xiao Ya; while the Xiao Ya which is still in Ye Qian's house has her surname as Xiao and name as Ya.)

The little girl had tears in her eyes but she seems a lot afraid since she continuously looked at the man who held her.

Ye Qian sighed and shook his head.

The people here were definitely not some normal thieves.

They sure had done murder and killings before, he had noticed some rancid smell while he had just entered the shop, but after he walked to this room, the murderous aura continued to increase with each step he took.

Ye Qian had always been simple-minded, even in the cultivation world he was the same and had little no arrogance, but when he confronted something like this he would never stop himself from helping some needy people.

And there seemed to be something more than just that, it was like something was here and it made him feel eerie.

Ye Qian waved his hand and closed the door.

While the people around didn't make any sound he could hear some humming sound, it was most likely from the old man who wanted him to leave and call for help.

But the old man didn't know if it was Ye Qian or someone else.

"SIGH"

A sigh echoed in the whole dark room filled with silence.

It was Ye Qian's sigh.

He took a few steps and didn't walk near anyone who was there.

He wanted them to think that he had not seen anyone and they would continue to hide in the shadows.

"Ahh, the old man is really gone, I wanted to buy some meat, but why is the shop still open yet?"

Ye Qian mumbled aloud so as to make the people in the shadows would let their guard down.

Though he was confident that he could be able to handle everyone here, still there were no less than 8 people wearing black cloth on their faces.

And what he was worried about was not that he couldn't handle them but they held people really close to them and with all the things he had seen till now Ye Qian had got the vague idea that these people would not even bat an eye to slice the knife off the old man and the other guy's neck even before he tried to make a move first.

Ye Qian thought and then tried to make them think he didn't know much and was just a customer who had come in since the shop was open so he entered ht back door to check if someone was in here or not.

Ye Qian didn't know if this would be helpful or not, but he was ready that if there was any movement in the people with black masks then he would outright kill them even before they could react, he was only worried about the other three who were held as hostages.
