"You still say you're not in cahoots! You're not leaving here today unless you compensate me for my losses!" the stall owner shouted as he blocked Junlin's path.
But the next second he felt a tremendous force coming from in front of him, which sent him flying.
"You think you can scam me?"
Jun Lin didn't even glance at the stall owner he had knocked away, and rushed straight out of Chi Xiao Holy City.
Behind King's Landing, a group of royal guards were chasing him.
The stall owner, who had been thrown into the air, struggled to his feet and this time blocked the way for the still-dazed boy.
He then shouted to the Imperial Guards behind him, "This man is in cahoots with that guy from before!"
"!!!"
The boy's eyes widened in shock. How could this person slander him for no reason!
He doesn't even know that person!
The imperial guards following behind were taken aback at first, but then their eyes all fell on the boy.
Just now, Junlin was someone who stormed the palace alone.
But now the stall owner is saying that the handsome young man in front of him is an accomplice of King's Landing.
The boy explained with a frustrated look, "I really don't know that person!"
"Whether we know each other or not, we'll talk about that once we're in prison!"
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. What if this young man in front of us is really an accomplice of Junlin?
The boy was extremely annoyed by what he saw. These people were so unreasonable; they wanted to arrest him and throw him into prison without even investigating the matter.
So, in order to save his own life, he ultimately chose to run away.
no way.
The stall owner is now convinced that he's in cahoots with King's Landing, and the Royal Guards don't care whether he's been framed or not.
"They're in cahoots! Grab him!"
Upon hearing what the imperial guards behind him said, the fleeing boy couldn't help but want to curse.
Today has been incredibly unlucky.
It's bad enough that something that was accidentally discovered as a treasure was stolen, but now they're being slandered and can't even explain themselves!
The boy was very fast.
Before long, they caught up with Junlin, who was running wildly through the Holy City of Chixiao.
At this moment, Junlin held a bottle of wine of unknown origin in his left hand and a piece of roasted meat in his right hand, enjoying it immensely.
Seeing Junlin seemingly fleeing but actually enjoying himself, the young man was filled with rage.
He rushed straight to Junlin's side and grabbed him.
"What are you doing?" Junlin found himself suddenly unable to move and couldn't help but turn around to look at the boy.
This kid's cultivation level is quite high; he was able to subdue him directly.
Something's not right!
Something's definitely not right!
The boy said earnestly, "Come back with me now and explain that I'm not on your side!"
"..."
Looking at the serious-looking boy, Jun Lin was speechless for a moment and thought to himself, "Dude, are you serious?"
The boy nodded matter-of-factly. "Of course! Right now, they all think I'm on your side. You have to clear my name!"
Junlin remained silent for a long time, then said with a sorrowful expression, "I've never had a family since I was little, all alone, suffering endless scorn..."
Hearing Jun Lin's words, the boy felt a pang of guilt and quickly said, "This... I'm sorry, I... I won't arrest you anymore, you can go."
The boy released his grip on Junlin's hand.
At the same time, the Imperial Guards caught up, and their commander also arrived at the scene.
Seeing this, Junlin said with a sorrowful expression, "There's no need to apologize. Perhaps this is my fate. Someone like me should have died in some remote corner long ago. It's a blessing from heaven that I've lived this long."
Upon hearing Jun Lin's words, the commander of the Imperial Guards couldn't help but laugh. "It seems you still have some self-awareness. If you come back with me now, you might just be torn apart by five horses. But if you insist on resisting, you'll be sliced into a thousand pieces and then torn apart by five horses."
"Don't you have any compassion? He's already so pitiful, and you still want to cut him into a thousand pieces?" The boy couldn't stand it anymore. What crime could warrant such torture?
"Hmm?" The commander of the Imperial Guard looked at the boy and couldn't help but smile. "Oh, you're in cahoots, aren't you? Then you'll be torn to pieces too."
Junlin stepped forward and said, "I don't know him, and if he hadn't captured me, I would have run away long ago. You should reward him."
"Hey, you!"
The boy looked at Junlin, who spoke up for him, with a shocked expression. He felt inexplicably sad. Junlin was already so pitiful, yet he was still thinking of others.
"Ha, you're quite the loyal one, but I don't believe you two deserve to be torn to pieces," the Imperial Guard commander said with a laugh, then gestured for his men to surround the two men.
Jun Lin took a deep breath and stood in front of the boy, saying, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. You run, I'll cover your retreat."
The boy was feeling very annoyed at the moment, and upon hearing Junlin's words, he immediately grabbed Junlin's arm and rushed out of the encirclement.
"Are you unwilling to surrender?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards sneered and personally chased after them.
Then he watched as the boy carried Junlin further and further away until they disappeared from his sight.
The smile on the Imperial Guard commander's face gradually faded, replaced by a look of bewilderment.
How can this kid fly so fast? Faster than a seventh-realm martial artist like him?!
It’s over!
This is like letting a tiger return to the mountain!
...
"Alright, they haven't caught up. It should be safe here now." After flying with Jun Lin for a long time, the young man finally stopped on a mountaintop.
Junlin offered a seemingly sincere thank you, "Thank you."
The boy quickly waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. It was my fault that you almost got caught. It's only right that I rescued you."
Moreover, those people are too unreasonable. They didn't even investigate the matter properly before categorizing him and King's Landing together, and even wanted to tear him apart!
Now look what's happened, he's really joined forces with King's Landing.
Junlin nodded. "Okay, then I won't thank you."
"ah?"
The boy was momentarily stunned. Could this really be done?
Jun Lin chuckled lightly, "Just kidding. Thank you anyway. My name is E'nan. What's yours?"
"Qin... Qin Li." Qin Li paused before finally uttering her name.
Jun Lin's heart stirred slightly. He carefully examined Qin Li. Could this kid be lying to him? Using a fake name?
When Qin Li said his name just now, he paused noticeably, as if he was hesitating about something, which was completely different from the naturalness he displayed when he gave his name.
Qin Li felt a little embarrassed by Jun Lin's gaze; her face flushed slightly, and her eyes darted around.
Junlin was even more puzzled by this reaction. He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he reacting like this?
Could it be that you're a little embarrassed because you're using a pseudonym?
or……
Jun Lin reached out and touched Qin Li's chest.
"ah!"
Qin Li was startled and clutched her chest, taking several meters back as she looked at Jun Lin warily. "What are you doing?!"
Junlin said with a sorrowful expression, "You know, I've never had a family since I was little. I was all alone, fighting with stray dogs for food..."
