Sun Fei's eyelids twitched violently.
This is a habitual action; His King always makes this subconscious gesture whenever he gets angry.
Yes, Sun Fei is very angry now.
Because he could tell that the girl who had just been slapped was Allen Peggy, the top saleswoman who had led him upstairs. Sun Fei had a good impression of this kind girl with her neat, tomboyish red short hair and elfin Aura. He never expected that he would be slapped before he could even thank her.
Parting the crowd, Sun Fei and Cain arrived at the center of the circle.
"Make way! The main character's here! See that old man with gray hair? That's Solomon Cain, the manager of the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]. He's supposedly a Five-Star Class archmage, not someone to be trifled with. This is going to be good..."
"Hey, even Cain can't do anything about it. This time, that old fox Glazer came openly, smashing up the shop and beating people as soon as he walked in. He's obviously made ample preparations. I'm afraid the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] is going to suffer a big loss this time, and it's uncertain whether it can continue operating in Deren City."
"Yes, see those armored officers behind Gleiz, smirking? They're all the city lord's personal guards, here to back up that old fox, Glazer. It seems even the city lord is on Glazer's side with the [ Edge-Washing Shop ]!"
"What do you know? That old fox is bullying and monopolizing the market. Would he dare do this without the city lord's tacit approval? He's just a dog kept by City Lord Henry. The [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] stole the business from the [ Edge-Washing Shop ], and after more than a year of this, the city lord is finally starting to settle accounts..."
"Huh? Who's that young man in white robes? Why can't I see what he looks like? It's like something's obscuring his face. But judging from Cain's appearance, this guy seems to be of high status. I wonder where he comes from? Could he be reinforcements sent by the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ]?"
"So young, what good is that? Even if a god descended to earth, he wouldn't be able to [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] anymore."
"Tsk tsk, what a pity. Actually, the sales assistants at [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] are quite hot and sexy, but after [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] goes under, I'm afraid that old fox Glazer won't let them off the hook, and they'll all be ruined..."
The crowd was whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Many of these people are seasoned veterans of Deren City, well aware of the cause and effect of the matter, and have a clear understanding of everything. The old fox Gleiz has been patiently preparing for so long before launching his attack, so he is definitely well-prepared. Unless a miracle occurs today, the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] is truly in grave danger.
In the middle of the circle.
Four or five saleswomen were knocked to the ground and surrounded by samurai in red armor, who grinned maliciously.
Allen Peggy, with her short red hair, had several shocking bright red handprints on both sides of her fair cheeks. Her pretty face was swollen like a steamed bun, and bright red blood seeped from the corners of her mouth. Yet, she still had a stubborn look on her face. Like an older sister, she spread her arms to protect the girls behind her, and glared at the skinny, bald old man Gleiz, who was standing to the side laughing triumphantly.
The moment Sun Fei the bottom of the stairs, he used the power of the laws of heaven and earth to blur a section of his face. Even a powerful individual below the level of Great Sun-Rank Venerable couldn't clearly see Sun Fei features. This was also to avoid causing trouble for the [ Letters and Visits Office ]. After all, he was currently burdened with the crime of rebelling against humanity. If it were discovered that the [ Letters and Visits Office ] had a connection to him, all of the [ Letters and Visits Office's] legitimate business would likely be looted and destroyed overnight. Even in another world, there was no shortage of angry young people.
Signaling to Cain, who was in charge, to deal with the vandalism and looting, Sun Fei walked step by step toward the girls who had been knocked down and surrounded by warriors in red armor.
"Hey? Stop right there, who the hell are you? Get out of my way... Damn it, oh dear, you're asking for it?"
Two or three fierce-looking red-armored warriors saw Sun Fei and instinctively tried to stop him. However, as soon as they made their move, the young man in white robes seemed to possess an unpredictable elasticity, which bounced back the force they had released. Unable to Avoid in time, they screamed and rolled to the side like gourds.
Four or five girls, their faces streaked with tears and filled with anger, huddled behind Allen Peggy, whose cheeks were swollen from being slapped. They trembled with fear. They were all girls from ordinary families and had never seen anything like this before. They were all terrified. Only the elfin-like little girl Peiji, bravely suppressed her fear, her body half-bent, her frail arms outstretched, trembling as she shielded her sisters behind her.
The little girls, like helpless little orioles trembling in a storm, were so endearing.
"Does it still hurt?" Sun Fei sighed, squatted down and helped the girls up one by one. When he stood up and looked at the clear bloody handprints on Peiji's fair and delicate face, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. The person who struck her had hit her hard, almost deforming the girl's fair and lovely face, which was as delicate as mutton fat jade.
Peiji looked up blankly at Sun Fei.
After a long while, the girl seemed to recover from her panic. The blurry force of law blocking Sun Fei's face slightly receded towards the little girl, and Peiji finally saw Sun Fei's face clearly. In those bright and dazzling starry eyes that had previously captivated her, there was now undisguised concern and heartache. Her gaze and tone were as gentle as honey.
"Ah, it's you..." Peiji finally recognized Sun Fei.
But after uttering just two words, the swelling on her face aggravated the pain, causing tears to stream down her face. Her face became distorted, and she could no longer utter a sound.
Sun Fei gestured for her to be quiet, then gently placed his palm on the girl's delicate face. A golden light appeared on his palm as he lightly caressed it.
Allen Peggy stared at Sun Fei, her mouth agape in astonishment.
She could feel a cool, refreshing sensation coming from her, and her cheeks, which had been so painful that they were almost numb and had lost all feeling, suddenly felt no pain at all.
"Who hit you?" Sun Fei withdrew his hand.
"Ah... you... you... it's alright, please leave quickly, this has nothing to do with you." Allen Peggy seemed to suddenly realize something and urged Sun Fei to leave immediately. The clever girl knew that today's events were unlikely to end well. That old fox Gleiz had chosen to vandalize in public; the [ Cauldron-Casting Shop ] had come prepared. Whether it could survive this ordeal was uncertain, and she didn't want Sun Fei to be implicated and suffer innocent harm.
Sun Fei knew the little girl's concerns perfectly well. He sighed inwardly, smiled slightly, and said softly, "It's alright, don't be afraid. You just need to tell me, who hit you just now?"
"It's me, so what? Kid, trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? You won't even know how you died." A loud, arrogant voice came from the side.
The red-armored warriors who had tumbled out got up and surrounded a young man in a red silk robe. The young man was quite handsome, but his sharp, hooked nose ruined his appearance, and his slanted eyes gave him a sinister and vicious impression. However, his strength was not to be underestimated; a powerful aura surged within him, at least at the level of Five-Star Class Dou Qi.
The one who spoke was this young man with the hooked nose.
"It's him?" Sun Fei looked at Peiji.
The elfin-like girl looked at Sun Fei intently, as if she understood something, and nodded firmly.
"Hahahaha, spit on me! I already said it was me, kid. Where did you come from? Standing up for a lowly female slave? I think you really don't know what death means. Hahaha, fine, I'll give you one chance. Show me what you've got, and let me see what makes you so great... ah... you?"
The hook-nosed, sinister-looking young man laughed mockingly, about to say something more, when suddenly, his opponent turned his head and looked over. Before he could even make a move, an overwhelming force surged towards him, forcing him to swallow all his words. His proud Five-Star Class Earth-Element Dou Qi was nowhere to be unleashed. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, the sound of his kneecaps cracking echoing through the air.
A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.
"You... you... what exactly are you..." The hook-nosed young man braced his hands on the ground, desperately circulating his internal Dou Qi, using every ounce of strength he had to slowly raise his head, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Sun Fei. What kind of powerful expert was this? Just one glance from him had made him, Five-Star Class expert, involuntarily kneel on the ground.
That's incredibly powerful.
Master!
Absolutely a master!
In that instant, all the arrogance of the hook-nosed young man vanished, replaced by endless fear and dread. He knew he had encountered a master, and a peerless one at that, one who was as elusive as a dragon.
It's over.
