The two armed Martial Artists glanced at Li ChunJun.
Then they looked at Xu ZhengYi's corpse.
He wasn't a criminal, and he'd made quite a stir in Mingzhou City, so they knew a little about him.

Besides, young men under twenty cared a great deal about their pride. A few taunts might send their Qi and Blood surging, making them disregard the consequences.

They said nothing.
They might be desperate outlaws,
