Looking up, the water shimmered and several small boats drifted by. As expected of Ming Temple, a famous ancient temple and tourist destination, the scenery was truly beautiful.
The further you go, the fewer pilgrims there are. The few who pass by are mostly scholars with their heads tied in blue headscarves. It is said that this is a good place to discuss knowledge. It is quiet and elegant and very popular with students.
Of course, Mo Lan also enjoys this tranquility, which allows her to calm her mind and body.
Unfortunately, this tranquility did not last long before it was broken by a shout.
Mo Lan looked in the direction of the sound and her face darkened. It turned out to be four street tigers.
They actually ran into the girl!
"You lecherous scoundrels, get out of here right now! You've disturbed my young lady, or you'll regret it!"
"Little girl, watch your mouth. Who says this road is only for you and not for us?" The guy called Xiao Liu squinted, waving his fan, and smiled smugly.
"That's right, little girl, she doesn't know any manners. Miss, you'll have to teach her a lesson when you get back."
The young girl was teased by the group, and her face flushed with embarrassment and anger. Even so, she still protected her master behind her, keeping a watchful eye on the group, and slowly backed away.
"I'm warning you, get out of the way right now, or you'll regret it."
Unfortunately, the group was used to being domineering and was not threatened at all. No matter how much the little girl bared her teeth and brandished her claws, they didn't care and continued to laugh and tease each other.
The little girl looked at the thug in front of her, her forehead sweating profusely with anxiety.
“Let me tell you, we are from the Zhao family, and this is my young lady. If you dare to offend her, my patriarch will definitely come to our door with a ruler.”
Upon hearing this, the four of them were taken aback, especially the sixth child, who subconsciously took a half-step back. Mo Lan could see clearly that, apart from Yue Qun, the others were somewhat wary, as if they were genuinely afraid of the old master the little girl was talking about.
Seeing the little girl's protective attitude, Mo Lan found it amusing. However, she was very curious to know who Old Master Zhao was, that he could make those three street-cleaning tigers so afraid.
"Haha... Oh, you dare threaten me? I'm so scared! What's wrong with your Zhao family? Are you very powerful? Do you know who we are?"
Seeing that the others remained silent, Yue Qun raised his head, stepped forward, reprimanded the girl, then bowed to the girl behind her and said with a grin,
"Miss, don't be afraid, we mean no harm. As the saying goes, meeting is fate..."
Before Yue Qun could finish speaking, the little girl interrupted him, "Pah, who has any connection with you? My young lady has been out for a while now. If you don't move aside, my mistress will come looking for you, and you'll be in for a world of hurt."
“You’re being unreasonable, girl. This is a temple, not your residence. Why can’t we leave? We’re just passing by.”
Xiao Liu held the folding fan in his hand, his face a little unpleasant. He had been repeatedly given the cold shoulder by the little girl, and he didn't have such a good temper.
"You...you are shameless..." The little girl saw the men's unfriendly expressions and tried to run away with her master.
Seeing the two's actions, Yue Qun immediately stepped forward, preparing to reach out and pull them apart, but before he could even touch their clothes, he screamed and withdrew his hand.
Looking at the whip marks on his hands, he immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Who dares to ambush me? Come out here with me!"
