One winter, the weather was especially cold.
His predecessor, who lived in Fengjia Town, was cold and hungry. He also caught a cold and had a high fever. His predecessor, who had a high fever and was in a daze, came to the street to beg under his strong desire to live.
It was a pity that the streets were covered in snow, and it was rare for people to come and go. Occasionally, people would pass by, but they would also come and go in a hurry. No one noticed the young figure in the snow by the street.
In the evening, his predecessor no longer had the strength to return to his temporary shelter. He was about to become one of the countless street children who had frozen to death by the roadside.
At this moment, a carriage with the Feng Family’s flag passed by and suddenly stopped. A teenage girl wearing a fiery red cloak alighted from the carriage and came to the side of her predecessor to check.
In a daze, his predecessor seemed to have seen a fairy from the sky descending to the mortal world. At the same time, it was like his beautiful mother in his dream had come to take him home.
At this moment, hot tears kept falling from the young predecessor’s eyes.
Perhaps it was this scene that touched the girl. The girl said in a clear and pleasant voice, “Uncle Nie, there’s another street child here. He’s still breathing and has a high fever. This place is not far from home. Let’s bring him back. If we leave him here, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive tonight.”
“Yes, Miss!” A broad and gentle voice of a middle-aged man answered the girl. The man came forward to carry his predecessor, who felt an unprecedented warmth.
Just like that, his predecessor was brought back to the Feng family’s residence and placed in the servants’ residence. With a warm place to stay and sufficient food, as well as a bag of medicine to get rid of the cold, the young predecessor survived.
His predecessor had treated the girl who had saved him and Uncle Nie as his saviors. He kept asking about the two of them and finally found out from the servants of the Feng Manor that the girl was the youngest daughter of the Feng Family’s Patriarch, the Ninth Miss, and Uncle Nie was Ninth Miss’s personal guard.
Just as he thought that he had met a noble and could stay in the Feng Manor, the servants of the Feng Manor, who were like a small pugilistic world, chased him out mercilessly!
“A child beggar! Ninth Miss is kind-hearted. She has saved countless lives over the years! Don’t tell me you still want to stay in the Feng Manor!?”
The face and words of the servant who chased his predecessor away were especially memorable. From then on, his predecessor never saw the Ninth Miss of the Feng Manor or Uncle Nie.
Although the servants of the Feng Manor had chased away his predecessor, his predecessor would remember this rare favor of saving his life.

“Alas, poor child!” Lin Changqing also sighed at the fate of his predecessor.
There were many situations in this world that Lin Changqing could only understand one-sidedly from his predecessor’s experiences. He only saw the tip of the iceberg of this world. He did not know why there were so many orphans in his predecessor’s memories.
In such a dangerous world, what did humans rely on to maintain such a prosperous population?
For example, the Tanmu Dong Village that he had escaped from last night. As long as those zombies entered the village, the villagers in the village could not resist them at all. However, that village had been passed down for so many years and had never encountered a calamity.
Limited by his predecessor’s knowledge, Lin Changqing still needed to explore this world.
————————-
The Feng Manor was a wealthy family that monopolized the northern part of Fengjia Town. The residence occupied an extremely large area.
Lin Changqing brought the two fierce dogs to the side door beside the Feng Manor’s door and showed the doorman the mission scroll with the official seal. “Please notify the steward of the residence. Lin Changqing of the White Tiger Hall from Knife Gang requests to meet him.”
The doorman was good at reading people. When he saw Lin Changqing’s outfit, the two ferocious dogs, and the mission scroll with the government seal, he roughly knew who Lin Changqing was and why he was here. “Please wait for a moment. I’ll get someone to report it to the steward.”
The doorman invited Lin Changqing to the reception room beside the side door to rest before going to arrange for the report.
For a wealthy family like the Feng Family, the entire Fengjia Town was under their control. Other than the establishment of a management organization equivalent to the government in the town, even in the residence, important figures often come to visit the Feng Family.
In order to not neglect the guests from all over, there was a reception room at the side of the Feng Manor for the guests who were waiting to rest.
Lin Changqing brought Little Tiger and Little Green to sit in the reception room and experience the luxurious life of the wealthy families in this world.
In just a moment, the doorman returned. He smiled at Lin Changqing and said, “I’ve already arranged for someone to report it. There will be a reply soon. Please wait patiently!”
The so-called seventh-ranked official in front of the Prime Minister, the doorman of a wealthy family, was not someone a member of the White Tiger Hall could climb up the social ladder.
This doorman’s martial arts cultivation was not weak and he was knowledgeable. He saw that Lin Changqing was extraordinary. Someone who could tame a pet like the wolfhound that gave him a strong pressure was definitely not a simple gang member.
Coupled with the fact that Lin Changqing was holding a mission scroll issued by the government, the doorman was relatively polite to him. However, his pride as a member of the Feng family was not lacking at all.
Lin Changqing could sense the doorman’s mentality, so he used the [Soul Suppression (Spirit Assimilation)] talent he had just obtained to exert a little mental influence on the doorman. The doorman’s attitude immediately became more sincere.
“I want to ask, are the Ninth Miss and Uncle Nie in your residence now?” Lin Changqing probed.
The doorman was stunned for a moment before he reacted and replied, “Esteemed guest, are you asking about the Patriarch’s ninth daughter and her personal guard, Commander Nie?”
“That’s right!”
“Sigh, the Ninth Miss is no longer in the residence. Commander Nie is indeed in the residence, but ever since the Ninth Miss left, Commander Nie has rarely asked about the affairs of the residence. He has rarely left the residence.”
Unknowingly, the doorman revealed the news of his two saviors as if he was chatting with Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing was secretly shocked by the power of the [Soul Suppression (Spirit Assimilation)] talent. He reminded himself in time that he had to use this talent carefully. If it was exposed, it would easily cause others to be wary and target him.
Right now, there was only one male attendant around. The [Soul Suppression (Spirit Assimilation)] had already been used on the male attendant. Lin Changqing seized the time to continue asking, “What happened to the Ninth Miss? Why isn’t she in the residence?”
“I don’t know the exact situation either. According to the rumors in the residence, because the Ninth Miss is extremely talented in martial arts cultivation, she was brought back by martial arts experts to cultivate a few years ago.
“It’s said that if she doesn’t succeed in cultivation, she’s not allowed to return. The cultivation of martial arts is difficult, and the road ahead is endless. I don’t know how long it will take for the Ninth Miss to come back.”
At this moment, someone approached the reception room. Lin Changqing stopped using the [Soul Suppression (Spirit Assimilation)] talent to influence the doorman.
“Sigh, why am I telling you this? Do you know the Ninth Miss and Commander Nie?” The doorman came back to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure and said something wrong. He immediately asked.
If Lin Changqing was an old friend of Ninth Miss and Commander Nie, it wouldn’t be a slip of the tongue for him to say this to Lin Changqing.
“Ninth Miss and Commander Nie are my saviors!”
Lin Changqing was in trouble. In order to escape as soon as possible, he was prepared to pull the karma of his predecessor.
