In a hidden passageway, three middle-aged men holding short daggers were surrounding a well-dressed woman who obviously had some wealth within her.

"Stop!" Ye Qing shouted.

"Hmm?" The three men turned around and looked at him. "You brat, don't meddle in other people's business. If not, we'll rob you as well. Scram."

"Oh, robbery. "I'm truly sorry for disturbing you …" Ye Qing glanced at the surrounded woman and laughed softly.

"I'll treat it as you being sensible. Scram." A man said in disdain.

However, before the man could finish his sentence, Ye Qing kicked several pebbles off the ground with his foot, heavily striking the chests of the three men with short daggers and knocking them down.

"The law of the jungle, the law of heaven and earth …" As Ye Qing spoke, he slowly walked closer. "But your mouths are too dirty. Being disrespectful to me is your sin."

After he finished speaking, Ye Qing ignored the three people lying on the ground who were twitching. He smiled and asked the woman, "Lady, are you alright?"

Just now, the stone he kicked out contained the berserk state of his elemental energy. If an ordinary person were to be hit by the energy, they would suffer the berserk effect of the elemental energy entering their body.

Borrowing the moonlight to take a look from up close, Ye Qing noticed that this girl that had been forcefully robbed looked to be around thirty years old. She had an extraordinary appearance, and on her wrist and neck was a pair of jade bangles and a golden chain.

And at this time, the girl who was saved by Ye Qing gradually calmed down and said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving me. If it wasn't for Young Master, I might have …"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but tear up.

"It's alright now, there's no need to panic." Ye Qing consoled.

Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the alley and chatted for a while.

Only now did Ye Qing know that this woman was called Gu Fang Yuan, the Lady Boss of a restaurant.

The reason why they came to this deserted city was because they wanted to pick up some things from a friend who was already on a long journey. They thought it would only take them ten minutes to get there, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Gu Fangyuan looked calm on the surface, but she was actually still afraid in her heart.

If not for some kind people passing by tonight, not only would he be robbed, he might also be abused by those three people and even be taken to other places.

Thinking of this, her gratitude towards Ye Qing became even stronger.

'As a student of the Prefecture Buddha Institution, he's actually riding a horse home. Which disciple of the Prefecture Buddha Institution doesn't have a carriage to meet him? Moreover, judging from his simple and unadorned clothes, his family's condition is probably not very good, or perhaps he's one of the branch family members that is disliked. '

Gu Fang Yuan sized up Ye Qing, a thought appearing in her mind.

After all, the disciples in the Prefecture Buddha Institution who relied on their own abilities to enter were all living in the Institution. Those who relied on their family background to enter had their carriages and horses and servants escorting them. It was hard to imagine that there would be people like Ye Qing, who were all alone.

When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and were about to leave, Gu Fangyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Young Master Ye, have you ever thought about learning to do business?"

"Business?" Ye Qing was stunned. Why did he mention this? He didn't look like someone who wanted to do business.
