At this moment, Zuan also saw a group of people coming out of another alley. The leader was an old man with silver hair. However, he looked energetic and did not look old at all. His eyes were like those of a wolf looking for its prey, as if he could see through a person's true nature at a glance.
The other person's gaze was extremely unsettling; he must be the seventh-rank expert Qin Wanru had mentioned.
"How do you know they're a group?" Zuan asked, puzzled. They were dressed in normal clothes, not the black-clad outfits of the men in black.
How can you tell that the two sides are in cahoots?
Qin Wanru leaned close to him and whispered, "Look closely at the patterns on their sleeves; they're exactly the same as those men in black from before."
Zu An looked closely and indeed saw some faint, strange markings resembling clouds on their sleeves.
Thinking back to those men in black, they seemed to have similar markings on their bodies.
However, if Qin Wanru hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed this at all.
He couldn't help but admire her. Although she usually had a fiery temper and seemed simple-minded and cute, he never expected her to be so meticulous.
Suddenly he was stunned. The characteristics of Chu Yan and Xiao Zhao combined were exactly the same as Qin Wanru.
However, poor Xiao Zhao inherited all of Qin Wanru's flaws. Sigh, it seems I'll have to give her more love in the future.
"Can you beat him?" Zu An quickly gathered his thoughts; the most urgent task was to resolve the immediate crisis.
Qin Wanru blushed slightly, shook her head gently, and said weakly, "I can't beat them."
Zuan couldn't help but sigh, "That woman was one level below you, yet she could still beat you. You're only one level below this old man."
Qin Wanru: "..."
Anger from Qin Wanru increased by 250!
Can't this guy speak properly?!
Don't you know that the higher the level, the more difficult it is to advance to the next minor rank?
However, the woman's cultivation level was indeed lower than hers, yet she almost won, leaving her with no way to refute it.
So he got even angrier.
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 337!
Zuan couldn't help but glance at her. This woman, if she can't beat him, she can't beat him. Why is she getting so angry?
Just then, the old man arrived with more than a dozen followers: "Halt!"
Qin Wanru froze, about to make a move but was held down by Zu An. It was obvious that she was no match for him, and it would be unwise to start a fight now.
"What's wrong?" Zu'an asked impatiently.
"What are you two doing here in the middle of the night?" the old man suddenly asked.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "I took my wife out for a walk, what's wrong?"
Qin Wanru, who was standing to the side, was furious. How dare this scoundrel take advantage of her!
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 777!
Just then, Zuan gently patted her hand, signaling her not to act impulsively.
Qin Wanru hesitated for a moment. These people were indeed mysterious, and the person in front of her had profound cultivation. If they really fought, the two of them would most likely die here.
The other party dared to rob and kill even the soldiers of the river defense camp in the street, so even if she revealed her identity, she would most likely not escape death.
Besides, she's a woman, and a beautiful one at that. She might suffer some other embarrassing humiliations. Rather than that, it's better to listen to Zu'an first and see if she can get away with it.
"Taking a walk?" The old man was somewhat suspicious. "Taking a walk here in the dark?"
“Old sir, you don’t understand. This is called style,” Zu’an chuckled.
Qin Wanru: "..."
The old man looked around and asked casually, "Since you're taking a walk around here, have you seen or heard anything?"
Zu'an said with a concerned expression, "Oh no! It sounds like there's a fight over there, and it's making quite a commotion. We heard the noise and quickly moved away, and we're just heading back now. Sir, you should also be careful and not go that way, or you might run into bad guys."
Qin Wanru couldn't help but admire him. Although this guy was a bit annoying on ordinary days, his acting skills were really good. Now he was acting like a kind-hearted young man who respected the elderly and cared for the young.
"Oh, there are bad guys. Do you know who those bad guys are?" The old man said as he took his hands out of his pockets. His long fingernails looked extremely sharp, and if they were used to poke someone, they would definitely leave a hole.
Zuan seemed oblivious to his murderous intent, and said to himself, "I don't know. Who would dare to look in the dark? You guys should leave as soon as possible, or it won't be good if those bad guys see you."
"Then please go and report to the authorities later, young man, and have them come and investigate those villains," the old man chuckled.
Sensing the killing intent emanating from the other party, Qin Wanru immediately became somewhat nervous. At such close range, a seventh-rank expert suddenly made a move, and she would have difficulty even protecting herself, let alone protecting Zu An.
As if sensing her nervousness, the old man looked at her suspiciously.
Zu An quickly stepped in front of her and said with an awkward smile, "Sir, my wife is a little shy. She's a bit scared to see so many of you."
The old man chuckled: "Young man, your wife has a nice figure, but you two don't look like a couple at all. You seem quite distant from each other."
Zu An hurriedly wrapped his arms around Qin Wanru's waist. Compared to the young girl, her waist was more voluptuous and supple: "My wife is rather shy, haha. Oh, old man, I really can't say any more to you, otherwise we'll be doomed if those bad guys find out."
When he put his arm around her waist, Qin Wanru was both surprised and angry, her face instantly turning bright red. However, to outsiders, she looked more like a shy young wife.
