Chapter 298: Rescuing
Wang Yufan shook his head and said, "This... I can’t agree to it. I have things to do alone. If I take your granddaughter with me, to put it bluntly, she would be a bit of a burden. So I suggest you two leave this place as soon as possible. You’ve already been targeted by those ruffians."
Hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Old Man Liu nodded in disappointment. "Alright, my previous request was a bit of trouble for you, benefactor. Please come in for a while. I’ll ask Yuru to make something to eat, and then you can leave. As for what you said, I, Old Man Liu, understand, but my legs are a bit inconvenient. However, I will try my best to leave before it gets too dark."
At this moment, the spy left by the ruffians hiding outside thought to himself, "These people really want to leave this place. But leaving like this, isn’t it too easy for them? No, I must quickly tell the boss to ambush the grandfather and granddaughter on the road. As for that kid, it depends on whether the boss can deal with him."
Afterward, the figure slowly left, and all of this was seen by Wang Yufan. Everything he did was for that person to see, as for the grandfather and granddaughter, Wang Yufan did not conveniently tell them the truth, otherwise they might expose themselves. To help others, one must completely eradicate the trouble.
Just before dusk, Wang Yufan pretended to leave first.
Old Man Liu and Liu Yuru, the grandfather and granddaughter, sighed as they watched Wang Yufan leave.
"The benefactor has left. Now it’s up to us. Let’s quickly pack our things and go, otherwise if those people come again, no one will be able to protect us," Old Man Liu said.
Hearing her grandfather’s words, Liu Yuru also nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa, I’ll pack quickly. Your legs are inconvenient, so I’ll pull you in the cart later."
Hearing Liu Yuru’s words, Old Man Liu nodded with relief, but he still felt that he was a burden to his granddaughter. In fact, if he could exchange his life for his granddaughter’s, Old Man Liu would be very willing.
After the two packed their things, they headed in the direction of the Mingyue Empire. Just as they had traveled about ten kilometers, figures stirred in the forest.
Several burly middle-aged men jumped out and blocked Old Man Liu and Liu Yuru.
When Old Man Liu saw one of the familiar middle-aged men, he felt his scalp tingle. It was the villain who had forced him to hand over his granddaughter that afternoon. They had indeed come again.
The burly man stepped forward and loudly said,
"Old Man Liu, where are you going? It’s not good to see you strolling around with your beautiful granddaughter. What if you’re met by someone with ill intentions? That would be terrible. Luckily, we met you today. Let me introduce you, this person in front of me is our leader, a true cultivator. Even if that kid from this afternoon comes again, we won’t be afraid this time.
However, several of my brothers were injured today, and Old Man Liu, you must pay for this. But I see that you can’t even pay our interest on the debt, so hand over your granddaughter to us. If you dedicate her to our leader, he might spare you two. What do you two think?" The middle-aged man looked at Old Man Liu as he spoke, then his eyes turned to a man holding a long spear in front of him.
The man’s eyes were fixed on Old Man Liu’s granddaughter, Liu Yuru.
"Very good, your granddaughter is excellent. Be my concubine, and I will waive the interest you owe us."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuru and Old Man Liu were already in despair.
"Please, have mercy, my granddaughter is not yet an adult this year. Can you just forgive us like this? My son is also a cultivator in the Mingyue Empire. I will repay all your debts then, what do you think?" Old Man Liu made a final effort, saying.
However, for the middle-aged man now, his eyes only held Liu Yuru, because Liu Yuru was young.
"Enough, stop talking like this. Wu Dahai, take a few brothers and bring them back." The middle-aged man finished speaking and turned to leave.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man, the burly middle-aged man next to him immediately nodded, and with a few men, baring their teeth, they headed towards Old Man Liu.
"Don’t come over! If you come any closer, I, this old man, will fight you to the death! Yuru, run quickly! Grandpa will stop them!" Old Man Liu kept saying.
The middle-aged man named Wu Dahai said, "Old man, do you think you can stop a few of us? Give up, you two are staying today." After Wu Dahai finished speaking, he directly rushed towards Old Man Liu and Liu Yuru.
"Don’t come over!" Liu Yuru cried out loudly. But at this moment, her words were already drowned out by the laughter of the few men.
Just then, a silver-white treasured sword, enveloped in an irresistible aura, descended from the sky. It landed directly in front of Wu Dahai and the others, and the aura emanating from that sword directly forced them back. The middle-aged man who was walking away suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned his head and looked at the treasured sword that had descended from the sky.
With just one glance, he was captivated by this silver-white treasured sword. Because he couldn’t even discern the grade of this sword, but this silver-white treasured sword was engraved with two prominent characters: "Senior Brother Feng Ling."
"Who is it? Who ambushed me? Get out here, damn it!" Wu Dahai, who had been sent flying, climbed up from the ground and said angrily.
Just then, Wu Dahai saw a familiar white-clad figure descending from the sky.
"It’s you! You didn’t leave!" Wu Dahai said.
That’s right, the person who arrived was none other than Wang Yufan. Wang Yufan smiled and said, "That’s right, it’s me. What’s wrong? I knew you guys wouldn’t give up, so I didn’t leave. All of this was just for you to see."
At this moment, Old Man Liu and Liu Yuru’s hearts, which had almost collapsed, were now filled with hope again because of Wang Yufan’s return.
"Thank you, benefactor, for not leaving," Old Man Liu and Liu Yuru kept saying.
Wang Yufan smiled upon hearing them and said, "It’s nothing. It’s good that you two are fine. Since I’ve decided to do a good deed, I’ll see it through to the end. Leaving halfway is not my nature. As for what I said before, just let it be like a gust of wind."
After hearing Wang Yufan’s words, Old Man Liu said, "Thank you, benefactor."
And the middle-aged man, who had just been about to leave, instantly appeared beside Wu Dahai, staring at Wang Yufan without moving.
