The killers had to give up and leave temporarily to look for another opportunity. Yun Jiao also left this place and found an inn to stay.

Rest overnight.

The next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw several men who looked like guards standing outside. They were holding swords and had a cold aura. They looked like they were not to be trifled with. The innkeeper stood at the entrance of the staircase, watching the scene with fear. Many guests whispered:

"It seems that I have offended Master Ling..."

"Those who offend Young Master Ling never have a good ending. Everyone knows that Young Master Ling is the little bully of Lanzhou City. He is not even eighteen years old yet. His methods and power make many people fear and tremble..."

Yun Jiao heard some scattered conversations: "Ling family?"

The leading guard called Zhang Nian and nodded, "Yes."

Yun Jiao yawned and said casually:

"You saved my life, it's nothing to thank me for. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

After saying that, close the door.

"etc!"

Zhang Nian stretched out his sword and pressed it against the crack in the door. "I am following the orders of the Master. I am not here to thank you, but to collect my debt."

"?"

"Last night, you spent all the ten thousand taels of silver notes on the young master. Please pay it back, young lady."

"?"

If he refused to return it, he was taken to a teahouse and pushed into a private room without saying a word.

Inside the box, the sinister and cold man was holding two women and playing around. When he saw someone coming, he dismissed the people around him and waved at her:

"come over."

Yun Jiao was brought here early in the morning, without having eaten or drunk a sip of water.

"I never thought you would be such an ungrateful person. If I had known this, I shouldn't have helped me last night!"

She saved him, and instead of repaying her, he asked her to pay him back.

"Hahaha!" the man laughed heartily.

Is this the point?

Isn't the point that he has a crush on her?

If it were another woman, she would have been so happy that she would have tried every possible way to get close to him. But he, on the other hand, despised her.

"From out of town?" He looked at her. "What's your name?"

Yun Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"Like a country bumpkin."

“…”

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!

Although she came from the town and dressed simply and plainly, it did not mean that she was inferior, stupid, or ignorant.

So what if I came from the countryside?

Look down on people?

Yun Jiao was so angry that she glared at him fiercely. She never wanted to see him again in this life, so she turned around and left. However, she saw a flash of ink shadow, and the male protagonist came from outside Liumi like a ghost and instantly came to the door, blocking her way.

"Why are you still angry?" He smiled, "Are you hungry? Can I treat you to a meal?"

He leaned one arm on the door, looking down at her, who was almost a head shorter than him, with the corner of his mouth raised. His face, which was full of hostility, looked very ruffian even when he was smiling.

"No!" Yun Jiao wanted to leave.

"want."

He pulled her wrist and forced her to sit at the table without saying anything, "Someone come!"

At the command, the waiters came in one after another, bringing carefully prepared meals, all of which were Lanzhou's unique delicacies, such as steamed buns, roasted lamb, raisins, donkey meat spring rolls, and baked dumplings.

Yun Jiao didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to leave, but he held her down again:

"Little girl, don't hold a grudge like that. I'm a country bumpkin. I am, okay?"

“…”

"Have breakfast with me as a thank you for saving my life last night. You know how many women want to eat at the same table with me, but none of them are qualified. You got a great bargain."

“…”
