Chapter 66: Chapter 64: He Definitely Doesn’t Look Like a Good Person
The black-clad figure appeared rather suddenly.
Yun Ran paused, placed the sack on the ground, and narrowed her beautiful eyes, warily sizing him up.
Under the clear moon and gentle breeze, with the endless sky of Changkong as the backdrop, the figure appeared even more tall and imposing.
His wide black cloak flapped loudly in the wind, immediately suggesting he wasn’t an easy character to deal with.
An intimidating ghost mask covered his face.
There seemed to be some trick with the mask, making his eyes appear a mysterious purple, like a fog, mystical and dreamy, yet inscrutable.
Yun Ran: "..."
[On a dark and windy night, a person covered from head to toe, even disguising his eyes!]
[Suddenly popping out to say he wants to help? Only a fool would believe that!]
[He either lusts after her beauty! Or after her Silver!]
Vaguely, the corners of the black-clad figure’s mouth seemed to twitch slightly, then he said:
"Miss, I am by no means a bad person, and I harbor no ill intentions!"
"I simply saw a weak lady like you struggling to carry such a heavy sack, and it’s merely out of martial chivalry that I offer my help, please don’t misunderstand."
Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, asked him, "Oh? May I know which path you’re from?"
[Hmph! Even his voice is specially altered! A guy who doesn’t dare show his true face, how could he possibly be a good person?]
"I am but a humble wanderer of the martial world, most admiring the heroes who uphold justice. Seeing injustices on the road, punishing the wicked, eliminating evildoers for the people, avenging grievances."
"Recently wandering this way, I happened to come across miss by chance."
[Tsk~! Who knows whether what you’re saying is true or false!]
Yun Ran flashed him a completely insincere smile, "Greetings, noble hero! But I don’t need any help, goodbye, never to meet again."
After saying this, she picked up the sack to bypass him, but after taking just two steps, the sack was grabbed.
Yun Ran: "!!!"
[See, just as I said he’s not a good person! He must be eyeing her Silver and intends to rob her!]
As quick as thought, Yun Ran counterattacked, swinging a palm fiercely towards the side of his neck, the attack swift and vicious! Simultaneously, three silver needles flew out, aiming for his chest and throat.
The man reacted with impressive speed, agilely dodging Yun Ran’s assault, and just as she launched another palm strike towards his chest, he suddenly lifted his hand, revealing a thick stack of silver notes.
"Miss, I really don’t intend to rob you!"
Yun Ran’s eyes flickered, her palm veering off course, landing on a nearby tree.
The tree shook violently, then crashed down with a loud thud.
Black-clad figure: "..."
This darn girl sure hits hard!
Protecting Silver like a kitten safeguarding its food...
"What do you mean by this?"
Yun Ran eyed the silver notes in his hand, raising an eyebrow as she asked.
[So wealthy, surely he’s not out to rob?]
"I really only want to help the miss with this heavy item. If the miss remains wary, you can hold onto these silver notes."
"Thus, you needn’t worry about me absconding with the sack’s contents."
Looking at the silver notes he handed over, Yun Ran’s gaze drifted up and down over him:
[Tianxuan Bank, valid throughout Jiuzhou.]
[Denomination of ten-thousand taels, roughly five hundred notes, which means five million taels?]
[Even if he ran off with the sack, she wouldn’t lose out.]
[But, for him to go to such lengths just to help her carry a sack...]
[Sack obsession? Peculiar hobby? Or did lightning strike his brain?]
Black-clad figure: "..."
Smacking his lips, he directly stuffed the silver notes into Yun Ran’s hand, picked up the sack, and left.
