Soon, the commotion attracted the attention of the settlement's rulers, and a squad of guards immediately surrounded them, led by Liang Kun.
"Oh? It's you again?"
Liang Kun clearly remembered Qiao Suinian. He wanted to check Qiao Suinian's information, but under the cover of the strange black robe, he could only see a series of unknowns. Then he pointed to the little skeleton and asked.
"You caused this?"
"Yes, Brother Kun, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't cause any deaths," Qiao Suinian explained.
"Okay, be more careful next time. Don't do these things on the street; it's not a good example."
Liang Kun nodded to Qiao Suinian, and he could naturally see Cao Junfeng's pleading look.
However, Cao Junfeng is just an ordinary person with a life-oriented profession. How could Liang Kun be so foolish as to offend Qiao Suinian, who is clearly an awakened person with a combat-oriented profession, for the sake of an ordinary person?
"Alright, it's alright now, everyone don't panic. This little skeleton is this young man's summoned creature, it won't hurt anyone."
Liang Kun loudly explained to those around him, and the crowd that had been terrified and scattered breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, now that we've taken your money, we'll protect you. The alien race won't be able to break through our defenses."
Liang Kun grinned, then left with his men, leaving Cao Junfeng looking ashen-faced.
Qiao Suinian looked at him with a smile.
"So, do you need any help now?"
"We need it! We need it!"
Cao Junfeng nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, daring not to utter another opinion.
After confirming Qiao Suinian's identity as an Awakened, Cao Junfeng finally faced reality.
"That's more like it. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee you won't be in any danger, and you'll even make a name for yourself in this gathering place!" Qiao Suinian smiled and put his arm around his shoulder.
Cao Junfeng could only force a smile, but that smile revealed a deep bitterness.
He simply couldn't understand why an awakened being like Qiao Suinian could earn gold so easily compared to an ordinary person like himself. How much money could one earn selling Nine-Turned Intestines? What was this person after?
Could it be... that he's still holding a grudge against her for cheating him out of 50,000 yuan?
