Leng Qiyue bought some snacks and followed her parents home. After all, it was not safe to bring money with her. Who knew that when they reached the riverside at the foot of the mountain, they would see three masked men popping out from the shadows. Judging from their clothing, they should be ordinary people.
Leng Qiyue pulled her mother behind her and loudly asked, "Who are you people? From your clothes, I know that you are here for my silver. If you have any difficulties, I can help, but … For making trouble for no reason, don't blame me for being impolite! "
The masked men looked at each other, but did not say anything. They held their weapons — bamboo poles — and attacked. Leng Qiyue pushed away the bamboo pole that her mother had used to hit her and easily snatched it away. She laughed to herself, "Hmph, my three years of learning karate have not been for nothing. Today, I will use you to practice."
Uncle Leng was not idle either. He was fighting with two other masked men. These people did not have any skills, so it was easy for ordinary citizens to defeat them. Uncle Leng saw that Leng Qiyue would not be at a disadvantage, so he returned to his wife's side to watch the show.
Aunt Leng said worriedly, "Why did you come back to help your daughter!"
Uncle Leng laughed and said, "It's alright. Look, Yue Er is very powerful. Those people are no match for her."
Just as Uncle Leng finished speaking, he saw his daughter knocking that person over. Leng Qiyue took off the mask on the masked man's face, it was just a very ordinary face. He thought it would have a cool scar!
Leng Qiyue sternly asked, "Tell me, are you guys here to snatch the silver?"
The masked men all kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy, "Miss, please let this lowly person go. Young Master Chen gave us ten taels of silver just now to teach you a lesson. We were wrong. Please accept this silver!"
"Eh? Aren't you the Zhang brothers? "Why did you do such a thing?" asked Uncle Leng, recognizing them.
The three Zhang brothers kowtowed again and again. The man who looked like their boss said, "My mother is very sick, and we don't have the money to get medicinal herbs. This year, we won't be able to get medicinal herbs from Xuelao University. We have no other choice. Now, Mister Chen is looking for us …"
Leng Qiyue nodded and said, "You can leave now. Don't do such a thing in the future. We are the ones who met you today. If it was someone else, would I arrest you?"
The Zhang brothers kowtowed and left, but Leng Qiyue called out to them, "Stop! Take the silver away! Go get some medicine for your mother!"
After another round of thanks, the three brothers quickly disappeared. Leng Qiyue stood in front of her parents, waving her hands in excitement as she recounted her bravery. Suddenly, another person rushed out from the shadows. This person held a dagger that glimmered with cold light … Since Leng Qiyue blocked Uncle Leng's line of sight, she had her back facing the enemy. The moment the dagger stabbed into her body, a pebble flew out from nowhere and knocked the dagger away. Leng Qiyue calmed herself and wanted to catch the person, but he quickly escaped. She could only stomp her feet in anger.
"Miss, you're too careless. It seems like the people you've offended will not let you go so easily. A gentle male voice came from the river.
Leng Qiyue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this voice. She ran towards the sound and saw two men and one woman. The woman was Miss Yu'er, who she had saved. The man was Bai Lan and the other was Elder Cousin Yu'er, Dongfang Haotian! This time, he had to see whether he was handsome or not.
Leng Qiyue stepped forward and bowed. "Thank you very much for saving me, warrior."
Bai Lan curled her lips and said, "Why did you save her? Have her die early and reincarnate. Maybe she won't be so ugly in her next life."
Leng Qiyue gritted her teeth in anger, but her expression did not change as she said, "If that's the case, then you should have died earlier. Seeing your looks, you really aren't bad.
"You …" Bai Lan was so angry that she couldn't speak. He looked at the man beside her and said, "Look, not only is this woman ugly, she's also a shrewd person. Master Hou shouldn't have saved her."
The man who was addressed as Master Hou walked forward and cupped his hands to Leng Qiyue, "Lady, you have offended me because you saved my cousin. I really don't know how to thank you. If you need anything, feel free to ask me."
This man … Why did this man's smile make his heart race? From the looks of it, he should be around twenty years old with slanted eyebrows, divine eyes, a jade-like nose, and jade-like teeth. Especially his smile. It was as if he was bathing in the spring breeze, making people feel extremely comfortable. Leng Qiyue knew that she was finished and had fallen. She had already fallen deeply in love with this man in front of her.
Looking at the silent Leng Qiyue, Dongfang Haotian said: "How about this, young lady. Wait until you think about it, then come to the inn and find me. But you have to be quick. I will leave here in three days." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around to leave. As he turned around, he discovered that Leng Qiyue's eyes were emitting a strange light. This light caused his heart to skip a beat. Why was this girl's gaze so familiar? Where have I seen it?
