Chapter 64: Why Didn't You Say Earlier

"Miss Huang"Uncertain of Huang Yuexuan's intention, Chen An maintained his usual caution as he looked at Huang Yuexuan standing in front of him and spoke.

"Suddenly visiting, may I ask what advice you have for me?"

"I dare not seek advice, but there are some things that I need to trouble you with, sir."

Looking at Chen An in front of her, Huang Yuexuan smiled and said, "I want to go out for a walk, and I happen to be lacking a guide. Would you be willing to act as my guide and take me around?"

"Naturally, I don't mind."

Chen An nodded lightly and spoke softly, "When do you plan to set off?"

He actually wanted to say that he did mind, but considering Huang Yuexuan's relationship with Bai Qing, he ultimately didn't say it directly.

After all, it was just a stroll, nothing serious.

"It's better to seize the day than to choose the day, let's go now."

Huang Yuexuan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, if you're not available, it's fine."

"Next time then."

"No need."

Chen An shook his head, "I have nothing important to do at the moment."

After instructing the servants around, he changed into a new outfit and left with Huang Yuexuan.

Miss Huang went out alone this time without bringing Jiang Shu and the others.

On the streets, a pair of young men and women walked, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Not because of anything else, but because the couple were of high quality; the man was handsome and tall, and the woman's beauty was outstanding. Just one glance made it hard for people to look away, subconsciously sighing, what a pair of outstanding individuals.

This couple was none other than Chen An and the others. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

As they walked to the streets of Shangyuan County, Huang Yuexuan seemed to be interested, looking around everywhere, showing interest in many things.

Along the way, Chen An noticed that she had picked up many small items.

Unconsciously, they arrived at a small alley.

Chen An suddenly became alert.

He looked into the distance.

A shadow was rushing towards them at a fast pace.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a wild horse galloping out of control on the street.

And coincidentally, the front of this horse was where Huang Yuexuan was standing.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

A shout was heard from afar.

Huang Yuexuan stood still in a daze, as if she was shocked by this sudden turn of events, standing there in a daze.

What's going on?

Chen An frowned, but in this situation, he could only take action and step forward.

With no unnecessary movements, he reached out directly and pressed down with a single palm.

Bang!

A deep crack appeared on the ground.

A horrifying scene occurred.

Chen An stood in front of Huang Yuexuan, seemingly indifferent. At this moment, it felt as if an infinite power surged within his seemingly unassuming body. With an expressionless move, he forcibly pressed down the rampaging horse, and the large horse's head directly smashed into the ground.

Splat!

Blood splattered, and the frenzied horse let out a wail, then quickly died, being crushed to death.

The onlookers couldn't help but feel horrified.

The horse in front of them was at least two meters tall, even a warrior would regard it as a rare steed. The power of charging head-on could be imagined; even an inner qi warrior might be sent flying if they were not careful.

The fact that this young man in front of them remained motionless and crushed the horse to death with a single hand left everyone in awe.

This kind of strange strength was truly frightening, he was definitely a ruthless individual.

The onlookers quickly averted their gazes and walked away, afraid of getting into trouble.

Chen An stood alone, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes. "Whose horse is this?"

"Show yourself!"

He spoke expressionlessly, his voice somewhat stiff, looking around.

The people around all bowed their heads, not daring to respond.

After looking for a while, Chen An did not find the rider, so he could only furrow his brows in place.

"Sir, forget it."

Beside him, Huang Yuexuan's voice rang out.

Shocked by the recent events, she looked somewhat pale, but she managed to maintain her composure. "You seem to have scared them. Who would be willing to come forward now?"

"Killing this horse is also a lesson for that person, there's no need to pursue it further."

Her face pale, she spoke, her tone generous and magnanimous.

Chen An looked at her deeply.

He had a feeling that things were probably not that simple, most likely, it was directed at Huang Yuexuan again.

If he thought about it a bit more, the other party probably deliberately lured him out today to deal with this kind of trouble.

However, in front of the crowd, he didn't say much, just nodded his head.

"Let's go."

Chen An spoke softly and left with Huang Yuexuan.

After they left, the area gradually returned to normal.

In a nearby alley, a middle-aged man looked at the horse that had been crushed to death on the ground, his face turning paler.

"At least an intermediate-grade martial artist, right?"

Recalling the scene just now, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. "How could there be such a skilled person at Miss Huang's side?"

The information he had received earlier did not mention this.

While pondering, he also felt somewhat fortunate.

If he hadn't run fast just now, he might have been lying on the ground as well.

From the other party's decisive actions, it was clear that this was a ruthless person who wouldn't hesitate to kill. If he had been found by the other party, what would have happened to him?

"I have to find a way to inform someone."

Muttering to himself, he watched as Huang Yuexuan and Chen An left in the distance and quickly left the scene.

Far away, Huang Yuexuan looked in the direction behind her, seeming to see the figure flitting there. A faint smile appeared on her pale face.

"Miss Huang, have you had enough sightseeing today?"

Chen An looked at the smile on Huang Yuexuan's face and spoke directly.

"Sir, don't you want to continue our time together with Yuexuan?"

Yuexuan was initially surprised, but she soon spoke, her voice still soft, giving people an urge to protect her.

However, Chen An just glanced at her and shook his head. "If I were Miss Huang, I would probably not be in the mood for wandering around anymore."

"It's best to go back early and rest well, to recuperate, right?"

"It seems that sir is a bit tired already."

Huang Yuexuan smiled. "In that case, I'll see you next time."

"Let's skip that."

Chen An also smiled. "It's too tiring to accompany Miss Huang for a walk outside, I'm afraid I have to be constantly vigilant."

"Last time it was just a crazy horse, next time it might be someone trying to attack us."

"Sir noticed?"

With Chen An's vigilance, Huang Yuexuan was not surprised but apologized generously, saying, "Please don't mind, Yuexuan had no choice but to do so."

"I'm being chased, and if I don't use you to scare those people away, I'm afraid I won't be able to live peacefully in the future."

She showed some apologies on her face, apologizing sincerely and explaining.

Although Chen An didn't see any sincerity in her apology.

If you really want to apologize, then pay up with real money!

To be honest, Chen An didn't mind being used or being someone else's thug, as he had always done such work.

But the willingness to do so is preconditioned on not freeload.

If you want my help, you need to pay.

Don't want to pay? Then, I'll just say "hmm."

It seemed like he heard Chen An's thoughts, Huang Yuexuan smiled and said again, "After you return later, Yuexuan will naturally compensate you. I hope sir can accept it."

Compensation?

Chen An remained calm, nodding lightly at Huang Yuexuan. "Thank you then."

"If there's anything else Yuexuan needs help with in the future, I wonder if sir is willing."

Seeing Chen An's reaction, Huang Yuexuan tentatively spoke, "If you're willing, I'm willing to pay two thousand taels."

She said tentatively.

Of course, she didn't hold high hopes for this.

After all, Chen An was Bai Qing's subordinate and had strong strength, so he shouldn't be short of money.

However, the situation took an unexpected turn.

"No problem."

Chen An agreed without hesitation.

Money? Why didn't you say so earlier!

If you had mentioned the money earlier, there wouldn't have been so many issues.

Huang Yuexuan was somewhat dumbfounded by Chen An's straightforwardness.

This didn't quite match her expectations.

But recalling how Chen An had crazily searched the bodies after killing the Black Tiger Gang's leader before, she seemed to understand a bit more.

This left her somewhat speechless.

It seemed that he only needed money, nothing else. Why didn't you say so earlier?

It made her realize that she had wasted so much effort.
