The exiled men exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt. Could this young man be suffering from some kind of hysteria? Otherwise, why would he be muttering to himself and then laughing out loud?
The young man was completely unaware that his image had been ruined. He coughed lightly in a pretentious manner and took another step forward.
"I suppose you don't want me to expose your leisurely exile, do you?"
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with worry; this was indeed a thorny issue.
The young man was a little apprehensive when he said this, but seeing everyone remain silent, he felt more confident.
"Since you don't want people to know, then you should keep a low profile and hand over the dilapidated temple, and then properly explain your affairs to me."
"Perhaps I'll spare you because you've been obedient."
After saying that, the young master, just like the constables before him, arrogantly raised his head, revealing his nostrils.
Xu Jinhuan silently watched the young master's performance from the crowd. He could only say that compared to the constables, he had some brains, but not many.
To still utter threatening words when facing a superior enemy force—is he truly unafraid of being killed in one blow?
Just as Xu Jinhuan was mentally complaining, someone in the human wall opposite the young master made a move.
Ma Wencai, who had previously had his scallion taken by Xu Jinhuan, took another half-eaten scallion and, following Xu Jinhuan's example, neatly and decisively stuck it into the young master's nostril.
"Ah!" The young master expected a timid response, but instead, the other person threw a scallion at him—a bitten scallion, no less...
Mother, I'm no longer clean!
"Young Master?"
"How come you got a scallion stuck in your nostril, young master? I told you to leave quickly!"
The constables were surprised, but quickly stepped forward to protect the young master behind them.
As the young master pulled the blood-stained scallion out of his nostril, he glared fiercely at Liu Youcai, as if to say, "Don't think I didn't hear it; those hindsight remarks were from him again."
Then, he turned his gaze back to the group of exiled people and said through gritted teeth.
"Very well, they won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences. All of you, get them and take these escaped prisoners back to jail!"
However, the constables hesitated and spoke in hushed tones.
"Young master, why don't we run? I just noticed they all have real weapons, no less powerful than ours, and with so many of them, what will happen..."
At that point, let alone catching them like turtles in a jar, they'll probably all become the turtles that get caught.
The young master had been hot-tempered, but after the constable's words, he calmed down and whispered, "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly protect me and retreat!"
Before they could take any action, they heard a woman's voice coming from not far away.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We were just about to go inside the temple. Big Head, I'm leaving the man to you."
Before the constables could even see who the woman meant by "Big Head," they felt a sharp pain all over their bodies and passed out completely.
"I thought they were so great, but they're just a bunch of spineless cowards!"
"Yes, Lord Xie knocked down three people with one punch. That's a real man."
"However, now that we've been discovered to be acting strangely, won't we be in trouble?"
As they chatted, a hint of worry crept into their expressions. After all, traveling on one's own and being chased by others are quite different.
Li Yichang immediately smiled and comforted everyone.
"I don't think we need to worry unnecessarily. Given the current situation, with one disaster in the east and another in the west, there's bound to be another problem."
The court must be in a state of chaos, they won't have a chance to deal with us, so everyone should rest assured.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went back to doing what they were doing, though they would occasionally glance at the constables wrapped up like dumplings in the corner.
Xu Jinhuan gave Li Yichang a praising look, and then saw Kong Duiyue waving at her, "Miss Xu, it's cool here, come and sit down."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, and as she walked, the image of Kong Duiyue standing in front of her flashed through her mind.
Don't misunderstand, Xu Jinhuan wasn't moved and developed feelings for him, but rather a little doubt arose in her heart.
This person is too strange. With the speed he just now, let alone a patient, even an ordinary healthy person would find it difficult to match...
What exactly does he want to do by going to such lengths to join the team?
While deep in thought, Xu Jinhuan subconsciously sat down in the empty spot left by Kong Duiyue. Not only was there more hay there than elsewhere, but it also seemed to be much cooler.
Even Xu Jinhuan's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Seeing this, Kong Duiyue looked around Jin Huan. He had deliberately used his spatial power to stack and hide the ice blocks, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
As long as Jin Huan feels refreshed, all his efforts will have been worthwhile.
Kong Duiyue, completely lost in love, had no idea that Jin Huan had already begun to suspect him.
"Hmm..."
The young master, who had been knocked unconscious by Xie Datou's punch, opened his eyes to find that he and his men were all tightly bound, their mouths gagged, and they could only manage to make muffled noises.
Hearing a sound coming from the corner, Xu Jinhuan stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards the corner.
"Oh, you're awake?" Xu Jinhuan smiled mischievously.
"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" The young master struggled violently when he saw someone coming, but unfortunately, he was tied up too tightly and the rope did not loosen at all.
However, he did not come away empty-handed; at least the constables who followed him were roused by his encouragement.
"Hmm?"
"Hmm?!"
The constables looked at Xu Jinhuan in horror, fearing that she might suddenly pull out a knife from behind and stab them.
Xu Jinhuan wasn't that bored. She pulled the gag off the young man's mouth and said with a smile, "I'll ask you a question in a bit, and you'll answer it. I'll also give you all a proper explanation of your affairs."
Perhaps I'll spare you because you've been obedient.
The young man nodded hastily, then realized that the gag in his mouth had been removed. He swallowed hard and said, "Okay, I promise you."
After answering, he belatedly realized that Xu Jinhuan's words sounded familiar. Wasn't that what he had said to threaten the other party before?
People say that fortunes change, but no one expected it to change so quickly!
The young master regretted his actions and wanted to slap his past self. "You were so arrogant, now you've kicked a hornet's nest!"
Waaaaah, Father, please come and save your child!
Xu Jinhuan paid no attention to the other person's chaotic state of mind and calmly asked her question.
"Tell me your name, where you live, how many people are in your family, and what your father's official position is?"
