"Third Master, should we deal with that kid?" His men surrounded him, asking angrily.
Qian San'er touched the blood on his neck, his heart pounding with fear. He said irritably, "What are you doing? He's not someone we can afford to mess with. Just pay up and buy the goods."
Anyway, he won't lose money by buying high and selling high. If he really gets into crooked thoughts again, he might really lose his life. It's not that he's greedy, but he's also afraid of death.
Leaving the alley and finding a secluded spot to revert to her original appearance, Li Xiyue went to the scrap yard again. This time, an old man sat in a rocking chair, swaying back and forth leisurely.
"Grandpa, may I go in and find some books to read?" Li Xiyue didn't hide anything. After all, most people who came here had ulterior motives, and the old man was no fool.
Seeing that she was honest and pretty, the old man didn't make things difficult for her. "Pay two cents and go in."
Li Xiyue gave him two cents, put the basket at the door, and went into the recycling station. Xiaobai wasn't there, so she had to find things herself, which made things more difficult.
After searching for about half an hour, she finally found a few tattered medical books in the pile of waste paper. Li Xiyue flipped through them and found that they were good books, but unfortunately, many of them were damaged.
Time was limited, and she couldn't stay too long. Having found the medical book she wanted, Li Xiyue stopped looking for others.
The gatekeeper saw that she really had come looking for books, and that she had found a few tattered books, but had nothing else on her, so he took 50 cents from her and let her go.
Buying a few out-of-print medical books for five cents, even if they're worn out, is a great deal.
She couldn't help but lament once again that it was a national misfortune for such a precious medical book to have fallen into such a state of disrepair.
As Li Xiyue left the scrap yard, she noticed someone was following her.
Although she didn't bring Xiaobai along, her five senses had improved considerably during this time thanks to the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, and she could hear even the faintest sounds around her.
Wanting to know the other party's purpose, Li Xiyue deliberately walked towards a less crowded area. The man followed her closer and closer until there was no one around, at which point he made his move.
With the dagger already in her hand, Li Xiyue turned to retaliate, only to find that someone had beaten her to it.
A tall, imposing figure suddenly appeared from somewhere, and with a series of long kicks, he knocked the attacker to the ground.
It's Chu Xun. Why is he here?
Li Xiyue silently sheathed the dagger. Sigh, she had wanted to make a move, but it seems she won't have the chance now.
The man was quite skilled; he got up and quickly attacked Chu Xun.
Chu Xun was tall but agile, easily dodging the punch which struck Chu Xun's chest, sending him staggering back several steps.
The man pressed his chest, pulled out a knife, and once again glared at Chu Xun with a sinister look.
Chu Xun turned around and delivered a series of kicks, sending his knife flying. Then, he leaped into the air, landed on his shoulder, twisted his neck with his long legs, and knocked the man to the ground. Finally, he delivered a chop to the neck, knocking the man unconscious.
This series of movements was so fluid and graceful that it stirred the emotions of the viewers.
Li Xiyue was once again amazed by Chu Xun's skill. Although she didn't get a chance to fight back, it was worth it to see such a cool fight scene.
Standing up, Chu Xun went to Li Xiyue and asked, "Are you alright?"
Li Xiyue shook her head. "Brother Chu, what are you doing here?"
"I waited for you for ages and you didn't come back. I was worried you were in danger, so I came looking for you, only to find this person about to ambush you from behind."
Chu Xun was glad he had come looking for her; this person was a trained fighter, and Li Xiyue might not be able to handle him.
Li Xiyue glanced at the person on the ground. "I want to know what his purpose was?"
“I’ll take him back for questioning,” Chu Xun said.
The incident of the wild pheasant committing suicide last time taught him a lesson: no matter who it is, he must knock them unconscious immediately after subduing them to prevent suicide.
This time, he'll definitely get this guy to talk!
