Wang Yue was just about to explain when he heard someone roar angrily,
"You two over there! Do you know why the stone broke?"
Wang Yue and Shen Li immediately turned to look. They saw a young nobleman surrounded by several people dressed as guards.
One of the guards had shouted at them just now. He was clearly the nobleman's lackey.
Shen Li and Wang Yue had no intention of dealing with them. Since they couldn't simply use magic to leave, they turned and walked away!
Their actions were a clear show of disregard, and in the eyes of the nobleman and his lackeys, that was even worse than a provocation!
But that wasn't the main reason. More importantly, Shen Li had glanced back earlier, and the nobleman had seen her beautiful face!
The young nobleman immediately shouted in anger, "Get them! I suspect they took the treasure from inside the stone!"
How could the lackeys accompanying him fail to understand what their master had in mind? They charged at once!
They weren't ordinary people, but skilled martial artists. A small stream could hardly stop them. Wang Yue and Shen Li hadn't gone far before the men caught up and blocked their way!
Wang Yue wasn't about to waste time arguing with them. He didn't know any acupuncture-point techniques, but when he used a water-based Five Elements Technique, the skilled fighters' meridians stopped moving in an instant, leaving them frozen in place!
Of course, if he used this technique on someone for too long, they would be crippled even if they didn't die.
But Wang Yue simply left with Shen Li. Once he was far enough away, the spell would wear off on its own, so the men wouldn't die.
Wang Yue was so softhearted mainly because he came from
