Pursuit

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go quickly."

The young man leading the group spoke to the four people beside him, and then hurriedly ran off into the distance.

"Boss, is it really a good idea to let them go? Won't you regret it?"

Suddenly, Xuan Ye asked the noodle shop owner in a low voice, as if he wanted to know if the elderly owner would regret making Xuan Ye stop and release the five young men.

"No, they have sworn that they will never cause trouble at my noodle shop again, so I choose to believe them."

The noodle shop owner whispered to Xuan Ye, his eyes showing no trace of regret. It seemed that the old man really intended to let them go.

"Hehe! You really are too naive, too trusting of others. It seems I'll have to help you resolve the follow-up issues." Xuan Ye thought to himself.

Xuan Ye didn't believe the five people who had sworn never to cause trouble again. Even if they swore, so what? Would God punish them for breaking their oath?

"No, oaths are completely useless in this world. They are just tools used to deceive others."

Xuan Ye raised his head and looked into the distance, in the direction where the five people had left.

"Divine Eye, activate!"

After activating the Divine Eye, his eyes felt cool, and his field of vision greatly expanded, allowing him to clearly see even the figures of the five people running wildly in the distance.

"Hehe! Looks like you haven't run very far yet!"

Xuan Ye looked at the five youths who were running. Although they were running, their speed was unbearable to watch. They were probably not even one percent as fast as Xuan Ye.

"Ah! Um, what are you saying?"

The old man who owned the noodle shop seemed to have heard Xuan Ye speaking, but he couldn't make out what he was saying. After all, he was old and his hearing wasn't very good anymore.

"Huh! What? I didn't say anything! Boss, you must have misheard me!"

Xuan Ye broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't been paying attention and had accidentally blurted out what was on his mind. Luckily, the noodle shop owner was a bit hard of hearing, otherwise he probably would have had to dawdle for a while longer.

"Hey boss, thank you for treating me to noodles today. And the noodles you made were really delicious. I hope your noodle shop business will get better and better. Goodbye."

Suddenly, Xuan Ye left the noodle shop, saying goodbye to the old man who owned it before leaving.

"He should be able to hear me say goodbye!"

Xuan Ye suddenly remembered that the old man's hearing wasn't very good.

"Forget it, let's go deal with those five people who ran away first! Consider it payment for the noodles the boss bought me."

Xuan Ye then sped up and chased after the five people in the direction they had left, even activating his Divine Eye to see if they had changed their direction.

In the distance, five young men were running wildly down a street, seemingly trying to escape something.

"Damn it, today is such a bad day. I went to a noodle shop to ask for some protection money, but I didn't expect there to be a powerful ninja in the noodle shop. This is really unlucky."

The young man who was leading the group cursed and spat several times after he finished cursing.

"Yeah, brother, we've had such a bad day. Not only did we not get any protection money, but we were also forced to swear that we'll never be able to go to that noodle shop to ask for protection money again."

The young man walking at the front was echoed by the person behind him.

The others nodded in agreement, indicating that the young man in charge was absolutely right.

"Hmph! Who said we would never go to that noodle shop again?"

Suddenly, the young man leading the group raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

"Huh? Boss, what do you mean by that? We don't understand!"

The others behind him asked in confusion, their faces even showing bewilderment.

"What do you know? If you knew everything, wouldn't you be the boss?"

"Yes, yes, the boss is right, the boss is right."

The other young men, all smiles, immediately flattered him.

"Actually, they can still go to that noodle shop to demand protection money in the future, but it will take a day or two."

The young man leading the group explained to his underlings with a broad smile.

"Why? Boss, since you said we can still collect protection money later, why wait a day or two? Why not go now?"

"Ah! Are you stupid?! Do you really want to die? Didn't you see that terrifying little devil in the noodle shop? Going there now is just suicide!"

When the young man in the lead heard his four underlings ask such a stupid question, he reached out Teuchi them on the head a few times.

"Alright, let's find a place to rest for a few days first. When that brat leaves, that's when we'll make our move."

"Haha! Boss, what a brilliant plan! Boss, what a brilliant plan!"

The five men exchanged glances, then let out a series of lewd laughs.

In the distance, a little boy in a white robe was running wildly. He was so fast that an ordinary person would not be able to see him at all, and would only feel a gust of wind passing by.

"Oh dear! Those five people are really slow! They've run for so long, and they've only covered such a short distance."

Xuan Ye activated his Divine Eye and looked at the five people in the distance, a smile appearing on his face.

"Call out!"

Xuan Ye ran through the street, passing many people, and a slight breeze arose because of his speed.

"Hey! Something floated past my eyes."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with an extremely muscular build appeared on the street. His vision blurred as if someone had run past.

"I must have seen wrong! Besides, how could anyone be that fast!"

The middle-aged man chuckled, made a self-deprecating remark, and then left.

In a corner of the street, Xuan Ye stood and watched the burly man for a while, his eyes seemingly filled with some doubt.

"I didn't realize that middle-aged man had such good eyesight! He was able to barely see my figure. Not bad, not bad."

Xuan Ye had some admiration for the middle-aged man; there were indeed people with good judgment in this small town!

"Let's find those five people first! Once we've dealt with them, I can roam the world freely."

At this moment, Xuan Ye felt a sense of excitement. He didn't know why, but he quite enjoyed killing.
