"Don't come any closer, kid. Take one more step and I'll kill her!"
Seeing Er Zhu, the ruffian scoffed, but for some reason, he was extremely afraid of Er Zhu's eyes. Those eyes sent a chill down one's spine!
"Brother Er Zhu, don't come over. He's a trained fighter, you can't beat him!"
Wang Xiaofeng tightly gripped the ruffian's arm and warned Er Zhu in a tearful voice.
In truth, she hoped Er Zhu would save her more than anyone. But thinking of the ruffian's burly physique, she dared not hold out much hope.
Er Zhu was strong, but he was just a country bumpkin. This guy was trained, and if she guessed correctly, he was a master!
She had secretly come to find Brother Er Zhu, but she never expected to die here!
The more Wang Xiaofeng thought about it, the more scared she became. She kept looking into the distance, but the police never came...
"Yes, I'm not just trained, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I'm the fastest in our martial arts school. If you dare to come closer, this girl dies!"
Hearing this, the ruffian's eyes were filled with arrogance. While threatening Er Zhu, he pushed the dagger a little closer to Wang Xiaofeng.
"Oh!" Everyone held their breath in fear, afraid the ruffian would make a move. But Er Zhu only said one sentence.
"What? You don't believe me? Then watch closely!"
Er Zhu's reaction infuriated the ruffian. A cold smile played on his lips, and the dagger, glinting sharply, began to move...
Swish!
Just then, a silver needle flew out. The ruffian felt a prick in his arm, followed by a sudden wave of intense pain!
"Ah!"
The cold, sharp knife dropped to the ground. Wang Xiaofeng seized the opportunity and ran to Er Zhu's side as quickly as possible, while the ruffian had already collapsed on the ground, convulsing.
"You... what exactly did you do to me?"
Enduring the itching and pain, the ruffian glared at Er Zhu and yelled furiously, but Er Zhu didn't even glance at him.
The onlookers fifty meters away witnessed this scene, their expressions Utterly astonished, especially those who had mocked Er Zhu earlier.
This kid was skilled!
They hadn't even seen when he moved, and the ruffian was already subdued!
No wonder he dared to step forward. They had thought he was just showing off, but he actually had real skill!
Those onlookers who had mocked Er Zhu lowered their heads and left dejectedly. Others applauded to express their gratitude to Er Zhu.
Er Zhu merely nodded slightly, still appearing calm. The ruffian tried to escape, but his body was in so much pain and numb that he couldn't move.
In just a few minutes, police cars arrived, and the ruffian was quickly arrested. A police officer then slowly walked towards Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu, it's you!"
Seeing that Er Zhu was the one who had subdued the ruffian, the police officer was full of shock. Er Zhu, seeing the officer, also showed a flicker of surprise.
The officer was Zhao Qian!
She had been transferred to Hua Bei City too!
Of course, Er Zhu wouldn't narcissistically assume Zhao Qian was transferred to Hua Bei City for him. Little did he know, the reason Zhao Qian transferred was indeed because of him!
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be here either." Er Zhu nodded slightly, stroking Wang Xiaofeng, who was trembling in his arms.
"Yes, I was just transferred here too. Is the person in your arms your girlfriend?"
Seeing Er Zhu holding Wang Xiaofeng, Zhao Qian felt a pang of bitterness. She nodded slightly and asked with a hint of anger.
She had traveled all the way to Hua Bei City to be closer to Er Zhu, only to find him already with a woman in his embrace...
Perhaps she should have guessed long ago, but she couldn't accept it.
"No, she's my friend's granddaughter. I'm just comforting her."
Er Zhu was taken aback. Catching Zhao Qian's jealous gaze, he gently pushed Wang Xiaofeng away and shook his head.
He wasn't deliberately explaining anything to Zhao Qian; he was just telling the truth. But in Zhao Qian's eyes, it was Er Zhu explaining himself to her.
He didn't want her to be sad!
Thinking this, Zhao Qian's jealousy instantly vanished. She chatted with Er Zhu for a while longer before leaving with the ruffian.
As the ruffian was apprehended, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Er Zhu and Wang Xiaofeng alone in the vast square.
Watching the police car drive away, a hint of loneliness flashed in Wang Xiaofeng's eyes. It seemed she was still too late.
"Why are you here? Does Old Wang know?"
Er Zhu's voice cut through the silence. Wang Xiaofeng suppressed her sadness and gently shook her head, "Grandpa doesn't know. I snuck over to see you during my summer vacation."
At this point, Wang Xiaofeng no longer wanted to hide anything. She had grown up and had the right to pursue the happiness she desired!
"Alright, I'll take you back to the villa. We'll talk about the rest later."
Er Zhu understood the unspoken meaning behind Wang Xiaofeng's words, but he didn't want to respond. He feigned ignorance and pretended not to understand.
"What about you? Why are you here so late at night?"
Er Zhu had only taken a couple of steps when Wang Xiaofeng caught up. She blinked her sparkling big eyes, full of confusion.
Er Zhu didn't hide it from her. He briefly explained the situation. Just as he was about to pull her along, Wang Xiaofeng hugged him tightly: "Then, why don't you sleep with me?"
A faint smile appeared on Wang Xiaofeng's face as she looked at Er Zhu with anticipation. She knew what her words implied, but she felt she was ready!
She had thought it through thoroughly during this period. For the rest of her life, she would marry no one but Er Zhu!
"I have many important matters to attend to. I don't want to discuss romance right now."
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Wang Xiaofeng thought he had agreed. But just as she was about to link her arm with his to leave, she heard these words.
Her heart sank by half. Although Wang Xiaofeng felt unwilling, she couldn't say a word at this moment.
"Don't want to discuss it" was just an excuse. She was ultimately too late...
Er Zhu didn't look back. He slowly walked forward. Wang Xiaofeng wanted to run, but looking at Er Zhu's tall, straight figure, she couldn't help but follow him.
So what if he didn't want to discuss it? She was still young, and she had time to wait!
After escorting Wang Xiaofeng to Ping Shan Villa, Er Zhu walked out again. It was already past midnight. He didn't go to Old Fang's house but sat in the empty square to cultivate.
The surrounding true qi flowed towards him in a structured manner. Er Zhu sat cross-legged, and the sesame-sized Peiyuan Bead in his dantian rotated slowly. The Peiyuan Bead was shrouded in silvery spiritual light, illuminating Er Zhu's entire body!
Of course, this spiritual light could only be seen by cultivators. And at this moment, there were no other cultivators around, not even ordinary people in the square!
