"Going into the city to do some business? What business?" the guard asked with a look of disgust.

"Um... to be honest, we are here to seek refuge with my relatives!" Gu Yuan lied casually.

"Going to live with relatives? I think you are tired of living. Do you really think you can fool me?"

The guard's eyes swept over the little witch and Chi Yu'er behind Gu Yuan. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then a fiery look appeared. He immediately stood up straight and said, "Those two women behind you are well dressed. Do they need to seek refuge with relatives? You told me you were seeking refuge with relatives, you're lying!"

"Forehead……"

Gu Yuan looked back at Chi Yuer and the little witch, and thought to himself that he had forgotten about this matter.

He hurriedly took out a small bag of gold coins, then secretly stuffed it into the guard's hand, and said with an apologetic smile: "My dear brother, we are really here to seek refuge with our relatives. As refugees, we must dress brightly and beautifully, otherwise people will look down on us! This money for travel expenses will be used to buy drinks for you brothers. I hope you can be a little flexible!"

The man lowered his head and weighed the bag in his hand. When he opened it, he saw a golden light shining inside, and a hint of excitement instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, okay! You are quite sensible kid! Come in!" the man said.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, big brother! Come on, let's go in!"

Gu Yuan gestured towards the two of them and said.

"Hey hey? I told you to leave, did you let them go?"

The guard behind him sneered and asked Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, but he still smiled apologetically, "Brother, what do you mean by this? I left all our travel expenses for you to buy some wine!"

"Fuck you! You are shameless even though I gave you the chance. Can't you hear me when I told you to keep those two women?" The guard showed a hint of sarcasm on his face and started cursing.

Gu Yuan's face immediately turned cold.

"Are you looking for death?" Gu Yuan looked at the guard and asked coldly.

"Hahaha! Did I hear it right? This guy is actually asking me if I want to die? Are you threatening me?" The guard drew out the long sword from his waist and pointed at Gu Yuan and asked.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes. How dare a mere spiritual guard talk to him like that?

"Hey, I told you long ago, why don't you just go in directly? Why do you insist on going this way?"

The little witch stood beside Gu Yuan and said speechlessly: "Look, this trouble has come to me."

Gu Yuan was speechless and shook his head. He said, "I forgot too. This guy is obviously coveting your beauty. He knew long ago that you should disguise yourself before coming back!"

"Tsk! What does this have to do with us?"

The little witch gave Gu Yuan a blank look and said.

"Okay, get out of the way and don't do anything, otherwise you'll be easily targeted. Just leave this matter to me."

"Don't talk nonsense, just leave, otherwise I will kill you." The little witch said coldly.

"It's okay, I'll handle it, trust me!"

Gu Yuan shook his head, then looked at the guard and asked, "I've paid for the wine, and done what I should do. Are you looking for death?"

The guard was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered and clapped his hands. Then two teams of guards surrounded Gu Yuan and the other two.

"What? You still want to kill me?"

The guard relied on his cultivation as a ninth-level spiritualist and was not afraid of Gu Yuan at all.

After all, these three people looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. How strong could they be? More importantly, the two women beside this boy, one with her face covered and the other not. The one with her face covered was already top-notch, and the other one's figure and temperament were the best of the best. If he could capture her and enjoy her for himself or directly hand her over to the Huoyun Sect, he would be on the rise!

The fire in the guard's eyes did not diminish at all, and his gaze towards the two little witches became more greedy.

"That look disgusts me!"

Gu Yuan, who was talking to the guard, had no time to react when he felt an extremely terrifying wave erupting around him.

The powerful pressure directly descended upon the guard, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Gu Yuan frowned and sighed. Forget it, since he had already done it, there was no need to pretend anymore.

"Hey, you little bastard, why are you suddenly kneeling down to your dad? Weren't you so awesome just now?"

Except for the guard, everyone else present had a look of fear on their faces. Feeling the terrible pressure, they almost stopped breathing.

"This... this person, is he a powerful Spirit King?"

The guard obviously didn't know enough about the strength of the little witch. After all, people of the level of Spirit Emperor were very rare here. Maybe the strongest one this guy had seen was the Spirit King, so he mistook the little witch for a Spirit King.

"Is such a waste worthy?" the little witch said softly.

The guard's face turned even paler.

"Let me teach you a lesson. If I wasn't in a good mood, I would have made you lose your head today! Do you hear me?" the little witch shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for not killing me!"

The guard was on the verge of tears. He had never imagined that he would actually run into a powerful Spirit King, and that he was actually making things difficult for him for no reason? He was even coveting his body?

If this were to be known, even dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough!

"Hmph! Let's go!"

The little witch snorted coldly, retracted the pressure she had released, and said to Chi Yuer and Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan looked at the little witch helplessly, then squatted down and snatched the cloth bag from the guard's hand. At the same time, he whispered, "I gave you face and you didn't want it, so why are you picking on me? If I didn't have something to do, I would have made you lose your head today!"

After saying that, Gu Yuan walked straight forward and entered the city.

The guard knelt on the ground, sweat dripping down his face.

What sin had I committed to offend so many people?

After slapping himself hard a few times, the guard watched Gu Yuan and the other two go in, then stood up again with a flushed face.

"What the hell are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyes! If anyone dares to tell me about this today, I'll kill your entire family, leaving no one alive! Do you understand?"

As soon as Gu Yuan and the other two left, the guard returned to his original appearance and roared at everyone present.

What happened today made him feel completely humiliated, so he had no choice but to use this method to save his lost face.

After entering the city, Gu Yuan and the little witch looked around curiously. Only Chi Yuer was left alone, silent and seemingly without any interest in the surroundings.

"Xiao Ba, you shouldn't have taken action just now." Chi Yuer sighed and said suddenly.

"Yes, I also think it's not right. Didn't you see that I was flattering the guard? I just didn't want you to take action!" Gu Yuan quickly agreed.
