Chapter 4: Cousin

Previous Chapter

After walking out of the tavern, Mu Yuan glanced at the secret card in his hand, and he thought to himself, how can he receive a task of more than five stars next, after all, Feng Lao Ke said that their branch hall is only level two, and they do not have the authority to issue tasks above five stars.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is that Mu Yuan must find a third-level branch hall, and this clue may have to be provided by Feng Lao for him.

"Ling'er, you run..."

Suddenly, an old man's hurried voice came into Mu Yuan's ears, Mu Yuan looked at the source of the sound, and he found that the old man was surrounded by a group of people at this time, and the group of people, one by one, were all fierce and vicious, like a group of thugs.

"Call me!"

Not far away, there was a young man, after seeing that the thugs he brought had successfully surrounded the old man, he unceremoniously pointed at the old man and ordered the group of thugs.

This group of thugs, in the face of the old man, was also ruthless, and within three or two strokes, the old man was beaten and wailed by them, and he had no choice but to hold his head in his hands and curl up on the ground.

Not far from the old man, the girl who had just been called Ling'er by him, saw her grandfather being knocked to the ground, she was immediately terrified, and her eyes were filled with distressed tears.

"Grandpa..."Ling'er wanted to run over to protect the old man.

When the young man saw Ling'er running back, he smiled proudly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Ling'er, and ordered the thugs.

"You guys, get this little girl here!"

Then, the thugs also surrounded Ling'er who ran back, and two of them stepped forward to grab Ling'er's two arms, one left and one right, and couldn't help but pull Ling'er to the young man's side.

"Ling'er...!"

The old man on the ground saw that his granddaughter was arrested, he was in a hurry, and wanted to stand up and rush out of the encirclement of this group of thugs, but the difference in strength between the old man and this group of thugs was too great, and his strength was not their opponent at all, and it was easy to be easily pushed back by a thug, and at the same time, the remaining thugs were not idle, and they still punched and kicked him. One of them even kicked a very fatal kick, kicking the old man in the head so hard that the back of the old man's head hit the hard floor tiles, and instantly broke his head, and blood flowed out in pieces.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man was too worried about his granddaughter and kept struggling forcibly, I'm afraid that the old man would have passed out at this moment.

Mu Yuan watched from afar that the old man on the ground was so cruelly bullied by this group of thugs, and between his eyebrows, there was a faint trace of anger.

"Grandpa...", the Ling'er who was caught, suddenly saw that her grandfather was knocked to the ground again, and there was blood on the side of her grandfather's head, and in her panic, she accidentally broke free from the two thugs and ran towards the old man again.

"You two shit, get her back for me?" The young man suddenly saw Ling'er break free from his hands, and he suddenly became angry, and he yelled angrily at the two thugs.

At this time, on this street, there are already many people who have been attracted by the sudden situation here, and they are watching from afar, but many of these onlookers recognize the identity of the young man, the son of Zhou's gambling house, Zhou Lu!

"Humph! The son's debt is repaid by the father, and the son runs away, so it is up to him and his daughter to pay off the debt..."Zhou Lu didn't seem to be afraid of what consequences he would attract if he made such a move in broad daylight, he glanced around at the crowd of people, and many of the people in the crowd looked at him with fear in their eyes, and became more unscrupulous.

When Ling'er unexpectedly broke free from the two thugs and ran towards the old man on the ground, the two thugs were yelled at by Zhou Lu, and they were also chased by one after the other.

Ling'er ripped off a piece of clothing on her body, wanting to bandage the old man's head to stop the bleeding for the old man, but unexpectedly, in order to stop Ling'er, the two thugs who chased after her, still four or five steps away from her, stopped their steps, put their feet on the ground, and the two jumped up and kicked at Ling'er at the same time.

Although the cultivation of these two thugs is not high, they also have a certain amount of spiritual power tied to their bodies, if there is no accident at this time, let these two feet kick on Ling'er's body, I'm afraid...

"Whew! Shout! ”

"Ahh Ahh

The eyes of everyone in the field, including those who were standing in the distance and watching, they suddenly saw two black rays flash in their eyes, the speed was extremely fast, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and when everyone was in a daze, they only heard a series of tearing screams suddenly sounded in the field.

Everyone moved their eyes to the source of the screams, and in their sight, they were stunned to find that the foot that the two thugs were about to kick at Ling'er was cut off by something unknown from the knee...

The two thugs fell to the ground and wailed, their miserable appearance was really several times higher than that of the old man who had fainted from blood loss.

"Master Zhou, let's go..."

At this time, a thug closest to Zhou Lu, looking at his companion who kept rolling on the ground, his face was full of frightened expressions, the only thing he didn't expect was that at this tense juncture, this person could actually open his mouth to Zhou Lu to remind him to leave.

And Zhou Lu was already paralyzed by fright, his face was pale, and there was no trace of blood.

Who helped Ling'er? Those who were there to watch? Obviously not, they are just a bunch of ordinary people living in a small town...

At this time, at the door of the tavern, Kang Feifei Ma Ye and Lan Yan and the three of them had also walked out.

Although there is a certain distance between this place and the entrance of the tavern, there are no merchants along the way between the two, so the view is relatively wide, and when the three of them walked out of the door of the tavern, they noticed this place for the first time.

"Cousin Ling'er, why are you here?" Lan Yan took a step ahead of Kang Feifei and Ma Ye, and suddenly appeared in the sight of the crowd of onlookers.

"Cousin... Grandfather... Grandpa is injured... Woo... Whining...! Ling'er suddenly heard someone calling for her, she raised her head, and saw Lan Yan's familiar face appear in her sight.

At this moment, Ling'er seemed to have suffered a great grievance and could finally be relieved, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears again, she squatted on the ground, buried her head in her legs, and cried bitterly.

"Who did this!"

Kang Feifei and Ma Ye came over, they looked around at the crowd, and asked with anger in their eyes.
