Zeng Kui's face darkened upon hearing this, and the smile he'd previously worn vanished. His gloomy expression, coupled with his ghostly face, sent a chill down your spine. If those who had complained about Young Master Zeng's unsightly smile saw him like this, they'd surely wish he'd smile more often.
Seeing their master being humiliated, Zeng Kui's followers were furious. One of them drew his sword and said, "They are just some scoundrels who dare not even show their faces. They have misjudged your employer."
The masked man said, "When the gods fight, the mortals suffer. We're just quacks trying to make a living, doing things for pay. We have families with elderly and children. We're really afraid of offending the gods and facing revenge!"
The masked man who spoke first ignored their quarrels and walked straight to Ren Yaohua and squatted down. He glanced at her right leg and frowned, then bent down to pick her up.
Ren Yaohua swung her hand and slapped the masked man. Although the cloth covered his face, the slap still had some force. The masked man said nothing and still picked up Ren Yaohua by the waist.
Ren Yaohua was anxious and angry, kicking and punching the man. The masked man groaned after being kicked in the abdomen, but he did not loosen his grip at all.
Zeng Kui ordered his men to stop the man who was about to take Ren Yaohua away, but the remaining masked men attacked simultaneously, fighting while trying to grab the two sacks containing the people. There were only four masked men left, while Zeng Kui had six. However, once they engaged, Zeng Kui's men discovered that these four men were quite skilled in martial arts. They were all held back, unable to stop the other masked man from taking Ren Yaohua away.
Zeng Kui watched Ren Yaohua being taken away with a sneer. He hid behind the protection of his followers, took a bow and arrow from the saddle, drew the arrow, pulled the string and aimed. Although he had no martial arts skills, he was from a family of military generals after all, so he was a good archer. He shot three arrows in succession at the back of the masked man who was carrying Ren Yaohua away.
The masked man was also quite skilled in martial arts. He dodged the first two arrows easily without even glancing back. When the third arrow came, Ren Yaohua bit the masked man's wrist fiercely. The masked man seemed to be caught off guard by Ren Yaohua's words and froze for a moment. In that moment, Zeng Kui's arrow flew towards him. The masked man reacted and dodged to the side, holding Ren Yaohua, but the arrow still struck him on the back of his right arm.
Ren Yaohua was just worried about not being taken away by this man and sent to Wu Yiyu, so she was already a little hysterical at this time, so she scratched and bit him mercilessly. Seeing the masked man injured, Ren Yaohua was delighted. Just as she was about to kick him again to break free, she heard the masked man whisper, "Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"
This sentence made Ren Yaohua, who was already a little crazy, suddenly stunned, because she could tell that this voice was completely different from the hoarse voice she had heard before. This voice was low and magnetic, and she knew at once that the speaker was a young man.
The most important thing is that Ren Yaohua felt that this voice was very familiar.
The masked man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ren Yaohua had stopped struggling. He carried Ren Yaohua onto Zeng Kui's horse, ducked to avoid another arrow shot from behind by Zeng Kui, then nimbly climbed onto the horse. He held Ren Yaohua with one hand and put her in a position so as not to press on her wound, while holding the reins with the other hand.
