"Hello--"
Zhuge Youlin was shocked when he saw this scene. He instinctively flashed over and pulled the trembling white-haired old woman away.
Bang!
The burly man kicked into the air and almost fell to the ground.
After he stood firm, he glanced sharply in the direction of Zhuge Youlin and the white-haired old woman, "You dare to help this old woman?"
Zhuge Youlin helped the white-haired old woman steady. When he heard what she said, he immediately retorted: "The old woman is so old, why did you kick her?!"
The burly man choked, then sneered, "Of course she did something that is outrageous to both humans and gods!"
Zhuge Youlin immediately turned around and asked the white-haired old woman.
"Old woman, what have you done?"
These words made the burly man and Shen Yan's eyes twitch.
He called out so smoothly.
"I...I...I sweep the floor every day." The white-haired old woman's voice was unstable and trembling.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Youlin looked at the burly man and said, "She sweeps the floor every day. How is she bothering you?"
The burly man's face darkened.
"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? Do you believe this?"
After that, he glanced at Chen Yan and the others, and threatened them coldly: "What are you doing here? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise, don't blame me for killing you!"
Chen Yan and the others kept silent in tacit understanding.
But Zhuge Youlin spoke.
"We originally came here to become disciples of Tiandouhuangyuan! But we didn't expect it to be deserted. Our trip was in vain. I'm telling you, what did this old woman do that made you want to kick her so hard? If you can give me a reason that convinces me, I'll push this old woman in front of you and kick her!"
Chen Yan and the others: "..."
The burly man was also confused.
The white-haired old woman reached out her trembling hand and tugged at his sleeve.
Her voice was hoarse and old. "If I haven't done anything wrong, will you protect me?"
"Don't worry." Zhuge Youlin turned to look at her and gently patted the back of her hand that was covered with wrinkles.
Just when the white-haired old woman's eyes lit up slightly, thinking that he would say something to protect her——
"I'll ask them first. If they ask me to save you, I will. If they don't agree, I can't save you. After all, I don't owe you anything."
The white-haired old woman's face froze.
Zhuge Youlin didn't notice the change in the white-haired old woman's expression at all. He looked up at the burly man and asked, "Tell me, what did she do wrong?"
"She committed..." The burly man was about to give a reason when his back suddenly stiffened, his face changed slightly, and he changed the subject: "I kick her if I want to, what's it to you?"
"You'd better get away from me! Don't force me to take action!"
As he spoke, the burly man immediately raised his fist in a threatening gesture.
Suddenly, Chen Yan's voice was heard.
"Let's go."
Originally Zhuge Youlin wanted to scold him, but after hearing Chen Yan's words, he immediately pulled away the white-haired old woman's hand that was pulling his sleeve.
Then, he quickly walked to Chen Yan and the others.
"Save me..." The white-haired old woman showed a look of fear, stretched out her trembling hands, and her voice was quite sad.
Chen Yan smiled slightly, "We won't disturb you from acting."
As soon as these words came out, the burly man's pupils shrank slightly. He was actually seen through?!
He subconsciously looked at the white-haired old woman.
Zhuge Youlin showed a look of surprise, looked at the white-haired old woman and the burly man several times, and then hurriedly followed the pace of Chen Yan and others.
"Wait."
A strong female voice came from behind them.
Chen Yan and his companions stopped and turned to look over. They saw that the white-haired old woman who was originally hunched over had straightened her back. Her cloudy old eyes were staring at them sharply.
Seeing this, Zhuge Youlin exclaimed in surprise: "Old woman, you have transformed?!"
"Shut up!" The white-haired old woman's eyelids twitched violently.
She stared at them sharply and said, "You said you wanted to become a disciple of Tiandou Desolate Academy. Don't you know the current situation of Tiandou Desolate Academy?"
"I don't know." Chen Yan said, "Because we just ascended from the outside world. Before this, we heard a senior who ascended to the prehistoric world mention that Tiandouhuangyuan is the safest place for outsiders like us. So, we came here specifically to seek refuge."
After hearing this, the white-haired old woman asked, "Shelter? Do you think the current Tiandou Deserted Courtyard can shelter you?"
Chen Yan nodded and said, "In that case, we will take our leave first."
"Wait!" The white-haired old woman called out to them again. When they looked over, she said coldly, "Tiandouhuangyuan can provide you with a place to stay, but in return, you have to help us do some work."
"Senior, it sounds like we are at a disadvantage." Yu Changying raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Suffering a loss?" The white-haired old woman suddenly sneered, "You newly ascended people, without strong people to protect you, how long do you think you can survive in the prehistoric world? If you live in Tiandou Deserted Courtyard for a day, you will be safe for a day, which is equivalent to gaining a day's time. Isn't it worth it?"
The burly man also spoke.
"Don't worry, as long as you stay in Tiandou Deserted Courtyard for one day, we will protect you for one day."
Hearing their words, Chen Yan and the others looked at each other.
Wen Yuchu asked politely, "Who are you from Tiandouhuangyuan?"
"Dean, Ning Zhen." The white-haired old woman threw the broom in her hand to the burly man and said slowly.
After the burly man took the broom, he raised his head slightly and introduced himself: "Disciple of Tiandouhuangyuan, Master Gao Min."
Jiang Xianyue frowned slightly after hearing their names.
She remembered that the dean of Tiandouhuangyuan at that time was named Cheng Yan.
Jiang Xianyue looked at Dean Ning Zhen and asked, "Was the previous Dean of Tiandouhuangyuan called Cheng Yan?"
Ning Zhen's deep eyes flashed a faint light, but her expression remained expressionless. She did not ask Jiang Xianyue how she knew this, but simply replied calmly, "Yes."
"How is the previous dean doing now?"
"She's dead." Ning Zhen's voice was very calm. "If it weren't for her, Tiandou Deserted Courtyard wouldn't have become so destitute."
The burly man, Shi Gaomin, couldn't help but pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, as if he had something to hide.
At this time, Ning Zhen said with a cold look: "If you want to inquire about the previous dean, then don't come to Tiandouhuangyuan."
Chen Yan calmly tugged at the corner of Jiang Xianyue's clothes, looked at Ning Zhen calmly, and said with a faint smile: "Dean Ning Zhen, what do we need to do every day?"
"There's not much time to live anyway." Ning Zhen said.
Zhuge Youlin couldn't help but ask, "What kind of work is it?"
Ning Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Every day is different."
Zhuge Youlin: "..."
It's the same as not saying anything.
