The night was dark and no one could be seen in the alleyway. Occasionally, a wild cat would jump by and its soft meows would fill the capital's spring night.
The young man clutched the bulging things in his arms and walked through the alleyway like a ghost.
An ordinary man's wealth is his own ruin. She won so much money in Le Tong Manor, so it was inevitable that she would annoy others. If she was followed on the main road and exposed, the He Family would suffer more losses than gains. She didn't want to cause trouble for the He Family.
However, the more afraid something was, the more it would happen. He Yan stopped.
At the end of the alleyway was the street facing the road. Because it was not as lively as Le Tong Manor, there were many small shops and taverns. At this moment, the doors were already closed. It was dark and there was no one. Only the moon and stars fell on the ground, illuminating a little bit of light.
He Yan turned his head and squatted down to pick up a few stones. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and threw them.
The stones were fast and sharp, like the arrowhead of an arrow. With a few "puff puff puff" sounds, someone fell down from the darkness.
"Don't follow me," He Yan said, "You can't catch up with me."
"What if you add us?" Another voice sounded. Several people walked out from the other end of the alleyway. The burly man in the lead was bare-chested. His palm looked like it could break He Yan's neck.
"Stinky brat, it seems that you have a lot of enemies." The burly man laughed, "Didn't anyone teach you not to attract too much attention when you go to a casino for the first time?"
He Yan gathered the money in his arms and calmly replied, "Since it's my first time in a casino, naturally no one taught me." But in his heart, he thought that the people in this casino were really like what the brothers in the tent said. They were not good people. They could even break the rules they set.
"You still dare to be stubborn when you're about to die," the burly man flew into a rage, "Today, I will teach you how to be a person. I will twist your arm off and make you kneel and call me grandfather!"
He Yan stood in the alleyway. In front of him was the burly man and his servant, and behind him were unknown people. There was no way to escape.
But she didn't even have a weapon.
"Then let's see if you have the ability." She slowly clenched her fists.
"Arrogant!" The burly man waved his hand, and the Ding Yi from the surrounding families rushed forward. He himself also rushed forward, but he did not use any technique. He raised his hand and chopped toward He Yan's back.
Under the moonlight, the young man lowered his body and nimbly dodged the attack. He only saw a blur in front of his eyes before he felt a heavy punch on his back. This was like adding oil to the fire. He roared furiously. When he looked at the young man again, he had already jumped onto the wall of the alley.
"Catch him!"
He Yan's stalker seemed to have understood what was going on. Someone grabbed He Yan's clothes and pulled her down. "Rip —" The hem of his long gown was torn open by someone.
"Aiya." She sighed. "It's broken."
"You're still in the mood to worry about your clothes?" The burly man was so angry that his nose was crooked. He was even more furious. "I'll beat you to death today!"
He rushed toward He Yan. This man was as big as a small mountain. When he moved, he seemed to feel the ground shaking. In addition, he had many servants. If he wanted to teach this young man a lesson, it would be easy. But today, he kicked an iron plate for the first time. This young man looked young, but for some reason, he was like a loach. He was slippery and no one could catch him. He shuttled back and forth in this group of people. He didn't attack much, but every time he hit a vital point. Not long after, the servants and guards were beaten to the ground.
He Yan dodged the burly man's punch. She turned around and kicked the man's abdomen. Unfortunately, her movement was a little crooked.
The burly man screamed in a moment.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." She was a little guilty.
After all, this body and her skills were not well-coordinated. She couldn't hit the target with her punches. The burly man covered his lower body and fell to the ground moaning. That sound in the night made people's hair stand on end, but also sad.
He Yan bent down to pick up the silver on the ground. She worked hard for the whole night and even fought a fight. It wasn't easy to earn the silver, so she couldn't let others take advantage of it.
The moonlight fell on the ground. The ground was full of silver and jewelry. The young man bent down to pick them up. It was like a scene in a fairy tale where a scholar accidentally stumbled into a fairyland and accidentally saw treasures everywhere. He couldn't help but take them for himself.
He Yan thought of this and found it funny. She laughed.
She picked up the silver and looked at the people who were groaning on the ground. She was about to run away when she suddenly heard a gentle voice. "Little brother, you dropped your silver."
He Yan looked back.
She saw a young man standing at the door of the pub with the lights out. He was wearing an indigo wide sleeved robe. The robe swayed in the wind, making his figure look even thinner. His fine black hair was tied up with a blue jade crown. He had long eyebrows and thin eyes. He looked extremely gentle and refined, like a fairy. He had a smile on his face as he took a step forward. There was a piece of silver in his palm. He Yan must have dropped it during the battle just now.
She had already sensed that there was someone else in the pub. However, the other person was here from the beginning. He didn't come out and didn't want to participate in the fight. He was probably just a passerby, so she didn't care. She didn't expect to see this person at this moment.
He Yan had seen many men. In her previous life, she had interacted with men as a man. Most of the men she met were brave men like the burly man tonight. They couldn't be considered handsome, let alone beautiful. Xu Zhiheng was handsome and elegant. He was one of the "good-looking" men she had met. However, compared to the man in front of her, he seemed to be inferior.
She was just thinking that when she went to pick up the silver, it was like a story in a fairy tale. Now it seemed even more like it. A poor young man met a real immortal and was shocked by the immortal's appearance. Was the immortal going to give the young man pointers?
The closer she got, the more she felt that the man was like the immortal in the murals. The immortal saw that she didn't speak, so he reminded her, "Little brother?"
He Yan came back to her senses.
She took the piece of silver that she almost threw away from the man's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The man smiled again. "You're welcome."
He Yan turned and left without looking back.
She walked very fast, like a wild cat skimming over the wall. In a few moments, she disappeared. No one could catch up with her.
In the night, another person came out and walked to the side of the man in blue. He whispered, "Fourth Young Master, that young man …"
"He should be passing by. Don't worry about him." The immortal smiled. He seemed to think of something funny and his smile widened. "He's quite clever."
