The boy's frail body was slapped to the ground, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he just wiped it off silently and quickly knelt down to return to the team.

The young man clenched his fists, but had to give up because of what the boy had just said. The group of people on the ground slowly got up and led the slaves away.

When everyone saw the show was over, they waved their hands and dispersed.

But at this moment, the young man vomited a large mouthful of blood and his body was shaking. Just when he was about to fall to the ground, someone supported him.

"It's you..." The young man glanced at the person who came and spoke with difficulty.

Ruan Xihe was speechless. Just now, the young man was almost ambushed twice by the people on the ground. It was she who secretly used something to hit the opponent's acupoints and saved him from the crisis.

I thought no one noticed, but unexpectedly this young man saw it.

Ruan Xihe helped the young man to rest against the wall. The young man took out a pill from his arms with difficulty and swallowed it. Only then did his complexion improve a lot.

After resting for a while, the boy said weakly: "Thank you for just now."

"No need." Ruan Xihe saw his frustration, but did not speak up.

"Tell me, am I wrong?" The boy stared blankly at the ground in front of him with empty eyes. Then he spoke again, "Am I really...meddling in other people's business?"

Ruan Xihe raised his eyes to look at him and said calmly: "Are you meddling in other people's business? How can you know if you haven't checked it yourself?"

In fact, she also felt something was wrong just now. The boy's eyes were filled with strong resentment and hatred, but he still defended the fat man in every way and even knelt on the ground obediently to be beaten...

Ruan Xihe sneered, "Sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing. Can you believe it just by hearing it?"

The young man seemed to have gotten the answer after hearing this, and shouted excitedly: "You are right! I have lived for seventeen years in vain, but my character is not even half as open-minded as you!"

Then he paused and scratched his head embarrassedly, "My name is Xia Yuanbai, I haven't asked for your name yet..."

Ruan Xihe gave a fake name without thinking, "...My name is He Xi."

"It turned out to be Brother He!"

Xia Yuanbai laughed heartily and casually slapped Ruan Xihe on the shoulder, "When are we going to visit the slave house?"

Ruan Xihe lowered her eyes to glance at the big hand on her shoulder, and slapped it with her folding fan, "Who said I want to go with you?"

Xia Yuanbai felt pain and belatedly retracted his hand, but when he raised his eyes, he was suddenly lost in thought as he stared at the young man in front of him.

This brother's eyes are really beautiful. Just now, even a grown man was shocked. But fortunately, he is not interested in men at the moment!

"Ah? Oh! That's right, you really didn't say that..." Xia Yuanbai said embarrassedly.

Ruan Xihe suppressed his smile, stood up, straightened his robe, and said as he walked, "Not now, let's wait until night."

She was not a nosy person, but human trafficking was what she hated the most. In her previous life, she was kidnapped by those traffickers and treated like a slave or a beast... Now she couldn't just stand by and watch!

"Let's meet here tonight at midnight." She chuckled and her figure slowly disappeared from Xia Yuanbai's sight.

Only Xia Yuanbai was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

He looked at the place where Ruan Xihe disappeared and muttered to himself: "This He brother is really mysterious. I thought he was mysterious enough just wearing a veil, but I didn't expect that even the way he left would be so mysterious..."

After Ruan Xihe left the Ghost Market, his steps became faster and faster, and the road he took became more remote and desolate.

Finally, after entering a deep alley, she stopped and shouted coldly behind her: "Come out."

Several men in the dark looked at each other and landed steadily in front of Ruan Xihe.

They were wearing different clothes, but the armbands on their upper arms were surprisingly the same, with a wolf's head embroidered on it. They were obviously the notorious 'Lone Wolf Mercenary Group' that made a living by robbery.

"Little white face, hand over the money you have on you so that you won't suffer any physical pain."

Among them, a thin man with shifty eyes came out. He rubbed his hands happily, with a scrutinizing gleam in his eyes.

Ruan Xihe didn't even look at them, and shouted again in a cold voice: "Aren't the others coming out together?"

The Lone Wolf Mercenaries looked at each other in bewilderment. There were other people, how come they didn't notice? Could this pretty boy be lying to them?

In an instant, several groups of people fell to the ground, including a ferocious man with a scar, a middle-aged female cultivator in yellow clothes, and a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe.

The Lone Wolf Mercenary Group that came out first saw that there were so many experts following them, so they slipped away early to avoid getting into trouble.

None of the three people said a word. They surrounded Ruan Xihe and formed a strange state of balance. Their eyes met and sparks inexplicably met in the air.

None of the three took action openly, but they all exerted great pressure in secret. Ruan Xihe groaned, and a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat.

She swallowed the blood in her throat with difficulty and raised her hand weakly while surrounded by three people.

"Can you please not hurt innocent people... I'll give you whatever you want."

The scarred man glanced at her and spoke first: "Take out all the money you just earned!"

The yellow-clothed female cultivator followed closely behind him: "I want those herbs you just sold. You must still have some on you, right, kid?"

"Hand it all over, and I can let you die quickly." The mysterious man's hoarse voice sounded slowly.

Okay, okay, I’m going to die anyway.

The mysterious man in black robe has already reached the second level of spiritual master, but the scarred man and the woman in yellow have only reached the ninth level of spiritual master. Ruan Xihe's eyes turned and he spoke timidly.

"Sister Beautiful in Yellow, if you help me defeat this old monster in black, I will give you all the herbs I have. Not only that, my master has a medicine garden with many rare and precious herbs, I will give them all to you too!"

"Brother Scar, I have not only money but also a lot of elixirs. If you and Sister Yellow help me defeat him, I will give all the treasures I have to you two!"

"I don't want anything, I just want to save my life."

Ruan Xihe spoke at the right time and took out pills and many herbs, making the already tense atmosphere even more intense.

When the scarred man and the woman in yellow saw this, greed immediately shone in their eyes. They held Ruan Xihe behind them and attacked the mysterious man in black robe.

In order to prevent the spiritual power from affecting herself, Ruan Xihe shrank into the corner early and hugged herself tightly.

Although it was two against one, due to the class gap, neither side had the upper hand, and the battle was tense and difficult to determine for a while.

After fighting for a long time, the mysterious man in black robe had his robe torn and his body was unstable, while the man with the scar and the woman in yellow both vomited blood and fell to the ground with pale faces.

After all, both of them wanted to monopolize Ruan Xihe's treasure, so naturally they didn't use their full strength against the black-robed old man. Both of them wanted the other to use his full strength...
