Liao Laotie heard the sound and became anxious at once, hastily calling out, "No, you can't do this, you..." He wanted to say more.
But Mi Lian directly looked toward the constable at his side, and soon, the constable stepped forward and pulled Liao Laotie away.
"Behave yourself!"
"Cause any more trouble here, and you'll be thrown into the dungeon!"
Then, Mi Lian turned to You Di, saying kindly, "You can talk with your mother for a while longer, and when we leave, we will take you with us."
Having said that, he flew into the sky, and the Earth Observing Mirror in his hand once again shone towards the people behind him.
He resumed the selection of disciples.
Gradually, as each child was illuminated, and after more than a thousand people had been scanned, the color on the Earth Observing Mirror finally changed. This time, a faint blue light emerged, dim and thin, like a slender thread.
