"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
Shushu wasn't too surprised to be stopped, and his expression remained unchanged. He calmly stopped and looked at Qu Ruxue, asking in a peaceful tone, "What is it, Fellow Daoist Qu?"
While queuing earlier, someone had already mentioned Qu Ruxue's identity, which Qu Ruxue knew. Therefore, she did not doubt why Shushu knew that her surname was Qu.
However, seeing that even though Shushu clearly knew her identity, her attitude towards her was still quite indifferent, without any hint of flattery or envy, she was surprised.
She was instinctively displeased, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes, but remembering she needed to investigate, she suppressed it and politely asked, "May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"
Shushu naturally wouldn't tell the other party her real surname. After thinking for a moment, she borrowed her master's surname: "My surname is Liu." As for her given name, she hadn't thought of one yet, so she wouldn't say it for now.
Qu Ruxue was still waiting for him to continue, but Shushu only mentioned his surname and then stopped. Seeing that Shushu had no intention of continuing, she gritted her teeth and had no choice but to speak for herself.
"Friendly fellow Daoist, is this your first time visiting Fenggu City?"
Shushu replied matter-of-factly, "Yes."
This refusal to utter a single word left Qu Ruxue speechless, feeling a breath rising from her feet, rushing straight to her chest, and spreading outwards, ready to explode at any moment.
Therefore, her tone inevitably carried some emotion and became somewhat stern: "I wonder what brings Fellow Daoist Liu to Fenggu City?"
The way she said it was completely accusatory, as if Feng Gucheng belonged to her and Shushu had to report to her.
Even the way he looked at Shushu was a bit strange. Before Shushu could say anything, Xuejie frowned and looked at Qu Ruxue with displeasure.
Qu Ruxue also noticed Xuejie's gaze. She turned her head and met Xuejie's cold eyes.
Under their gaze, Qu Ruxue felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being stared at by a large, ferocious beast, and that her neck might be bitten off at any moment.
The feeling was so terrifying that Qu Ruxue couldn't help but shudder. She quickly looked away and only then did she feel like she could catch her breath.
Then, Qu Ruxue, having caught her breath, put her fear behind her and still wanted to check on Shushu's condition. After thinking for a moment, she continued to speak.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, please don't misunderstand. I just feel a connection with you and want to make friends. I'm familiar with Fenggu City. If you don't mind, I can be your guide. I just don't know where you're going?"
As she spoke, she tried to reach out and touch Shushu's hand as a gesture of goodwill, but Shushu deftly dodged her.
Shushu didn't want to hold hands with this woman. Who knew if she would take the opportunity to do something sneaky? It was better to avoid contact altogether.
Thinking of this, Shushu couldn't help but take another step back.
Seeing that the other person was following her forward and wanted to hold her hand again, Shushu had a mischievous idea.
The next moment, a token appeared in her palm, the very one Hei Wanran had given her earlier.
With a hint of anticipation, Shushu deliberately held up the token in front of Qu Ruxue and said, "I'm going to the Hei family. Are you sure you want to take me?"
Qu Ruxue:...
The moment Qu Ruxue saw the token, her expression twisted, and Shushu even seemed to hear her gritting her teeth.
Before she could examine it closely, Qu Ruxue had already composed herself and looked at her with tears welling up in her eyes: "Fellow Daoist Liu, did Hei Wanran say something to you? Do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Before Shushu could even reply, Zang Wenxing, who had been watching the whole thing and was already getting impatient, finally jumped out, pointed at Shushu, and started cursing.
"What's wrong with you? Ru Xue only befriended you because she thought highly of you. You're so cold-hearted. No wonder you were deceived by that poisonous woman Hei Wanran. You deserve to die!"
Zang Wenxing didn't get a chance to say anything more, because he was kicked away! Kicked away! Flying away!
It flew so high, so high, that it soared over Qu Ruxue's head, leaving Qu Ruxue stunned. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.
Don't get me wrong, the person who kicked him wasn't Shushu, although Shushu was also very, very angry because it was the first time in his life that someone had pointed their finger at him and cursed him.
But before she could even make a move, Zang Wenxing was kicked flying a great distance away by someone who appeared out of nowhere.
That wasn't all. After kicking Zang Wenxing away, the man followed his flying figure, and the moment Zang Wenxing hit the ground, the man's punches and kicks followed.
The people on the street scattered in an instant, making enough space for them to perform.
Throughout the scene, apart from repeated cries of "I'll teach you to bully my sister," all that could be heard were the brutal blows and Zang Wenxing's painful screams.
Those shouts of "Ah!" were so powerful and resonant that they echoed throughout the entire street.
Xuejie, that idiot, stared for a while, then glanced at the man and then at Shushu, finally leaning close to Shushu's ear and asking in a very, very soft voice, "Shushu, when did you get a brother?"
Clearly, this idiot mistook the girl the other person was talking about for Shushu. Shushu looked up at the sky speechlessly.
After a moment, she calmed herself down and looked at Xuejie, asking softly, "Do you think it's possible that the sister he's talking about isn't me, but Hei Wanran?"
Yukisuke:…
Yukisuke was caught off guard and gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, it seems so."
Speak of the devil and he appears; before they could say anything more, Hei Wanran's figure had already appeared in their sight.
Hei Wanran rode out on a magical beast, accompanied by a guard, exuding an imposing aura. As she charged, she shouted, "Brother, let go of that scumbag, let me handle this!"
After shouting, she probably thought the monster was too slow, so she flew up, kicked the monster away, and in a flash, arrived in front of the two people who were beating each other.
She pulled her brother Hei Muran behind her and took his place, then began to attack Zang Wenxing without any hesitation.
Zang Wenxing was completely outmatched by Hei Muran, but he still had the strength to rival Hei Wanran.
So, without the slightest hesitation, he decided to rise up in resistance.
However, as soon as he made a move, he was suppressed by Hei Muran's cultivation and could only endure Hei Wanran's punches and kicks.
Finally, it was the arrival of an elder from the Zang family that stopped the one-sided beating.
