She looked like a weak and helpless girl on the surface, but for some reason…
Lin Fan felt that she wasn't as weak and helpless as she seemed. She gave off the feeling that she would be alright even if he didn't help her.
It was just too bad that his moment of hesitation got him further trapped in this matter.
Seeing that Lin Fan was ignoring him, the leader of the thugs couldn't help getting even more annoyed. After all, he was the leader of this powerful group of thugs and someone that usually had people flattering him.
When he was being ignored by Lin Fan like this, it was like he was getting slapped in the face.
It was like he wasn't being shown any respect at all.
So of course the leader of the thugs became angry.
He roared out, "You brat, are you looking down on me?!"
Lin Fan was pulled away from looking at the girl when he heard this.
At the same time, he realized his mistake and he couldn't help revealing a bitter smile.
At this point, even if he didn't want to get involved, he had no choice. This group of thugs was forcefully involving him in this matter and he was already too caught up in it to leave.
As he had been standing there thinking, the leader of the thugs had already sent his men to surround him.
At the same time, the crowd was also surrounding them and watching everything.
So the best solution for him right now was to…take care of all of this quickly.
Seeing that Lin Fan still wasn't saying a thing in response to him being roared at, the leader of the thugs couldn't help becoming even more angry. It was as if Lin Fan was looking down on him by ignoring him like this.
So without any thought, he pulled out his sword at his waist and swung it at Lin Fan.
This leader of the thugs was only in the Qi Gathering Realm, so his swing looked like it was in slow motion for Lin Fan.
It only took a tiny bit of effort for Lin Fan to move out of the way, but to make sure that the girl wasn't in any danger, he took her by the waist instead of letting her hold his arm so that he could move her better.
The girl was surprised by suddenly being grabbed at by the waist and there seemed to be a sharp glow that appeared in her eyes, but that quickly disappeared.
When they landed, she looked like the same cute girl as before.
But for the leader of the thugs, he couldn't understand what had happened since to his eyes, Lin Fan had suddenly disappeared. He didn't even know where Lin Fan had gone, so he started looking around.
When he saw Lin Fan standing a few feet away from where he had been standing, he couldn't understand what had happened.
After all, to him, it was as if Lin Fan had suddenly teleported away.
The leader of the thugs narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Fan before saying, "What did you do just now? What kind of strange magic did you use?"
The other thugs looked at the boss with strange looks, but they didn't say anything. However, it was clear by the looks on their faces that they could tell that something was off.
Lin Fan didn't bother answering since he knew that it would just be a waste of his time.
He let go of the girl that he had been holding and slowly walked towards the leader of the thugs.
When the leader saw Lin Fan approaching, he couldn't help feeling a kind of pressure falling on him. It was as if with each step, Lin Fan was putting more and more pressure on him.
With this pressure falling on him, the leader of the thugs couldn't help taking a step back as he said in a shaky voice, "What, what are you planning on doing?"
The thugs around him looked at him with an even stranger look that had a trace of disappointment in it, but they still warily turned back to look at Lin Fan. Even if they didn't feel the same amount of pressure as their leader, they could still feel the pressure that Lin Fan was putting on them.
They knew that this person was dangerous.
They really shouldn't have kicked this hornet's nest, but it was too late to feel regret.
Lin Fan didn't slow down when he heard what the leader said. He just continued forward towards the leader at this slow and steady pace.
The leader couldn't help feeling more and more afraid as he saw Lin Fan getting closer to him.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and just turned to run without care about his own prestige.
The other thugs revealed disappointed looks when they saw this, but that didn't stop them from turning and doing the same thing.
They weren't fools and they knew exactly why their boss was running.
Instead of staying here and being bait, they'd rather run away and see if they could get away. They knew that it would all depend on the mercy of this cloaked figure.
But before they could take more than a few steps, there was a blow that came from the back of their heads. Before any of them could react, they suddenly fell forward as everything turned dark.
Lin Fan had disappeared in an instant and when he appeared again, he landed beside Mu Bao Bao.
He turned to look at the girl who had grabbed him by the arm and said, "I don't appreciate you involving me like this."
Then before anyone in the crowd could react, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
The crowd was confused, other than a few people who could guess what had happened. But they didn't reveal any hostile looks and just looked a bit interested before leaving the area.
As for the girl who had caused this incident, she also quickly ran into the crowd and disappeared before anyone could see what happened.
Since everything had been settled, there was nothing for the crowd to gather for anymore and they dispersed naturally.
In a world like this, disputing over women was natural and no one was even going to bother dealing with the thugs who were currently unconscious on the ground. They just left them all there without a care in the world.
As for the girl who had clung to Lin Fan's arm, she was currently standing on the balcony of one of the surrounding buildings. Even though she was standing in this open area, there wasn't a single person who was looking at her.
To the side, there was an old man who stood there like he was a butler.
In fact, he actually was this girl's butler.
As the girl stood there watching the street down below, the butler suddenly said, "Young miss, you shouldn't have done that."
The young miss scrunched up her face when she heard this, but she didn't say anything in response.
The butler didn't mind as he continued, "If anything happened to you, my life alone wouldn't be enough."
The young miss didn't say anything still, but there was a clear look of regret in her eyes. It was clear that she did regret her actions just now to a certain extent.
With a sigh, she said, "Grandpa, just forget about it. I won't do it again."
The butler gave a satisfied nod when he heard this since he knew that this was the best that he would get out of this proud young miss of his.
Then he suddenly asked with a serious voice, "Young miss, are you still thinking about that person you met earlier?"
The girl didn't say a thing as she just looked down at the street.
The butler knitted his brows when he saw this and he asked, "Should I send someone to investigate that person?"
When she heard this, she finally reacted.
She turned around and shook her head before saying, "No, there's no need to do something like that at a time like this. If we make too many moves, people will become suspicious and we'll be leaving ourselves open for attack."
The butler still had knitted brows as he said, "Then should I have someone go and watch them?"
The girl looked back down at the street as if she was considering it, but she still shook her head in the end as she said, "No, there's no need for that. If we're fated to meet again, we will meet again."
This time, the butler finally relaxed his brows as he gave a nod.
He knew what the young miss was talking about, so he decided not to push this topic any further.
Then his expression became serious again as he said, "The people that we sent to watch that place reported something today."
The girl also revealed a serious look when she heard this and she asked, "What happened?"
"They said that they felt a reaction from the array that we put inside the cave." The butler said.
The girl knitted her brows when she heard this, but she didn't think for long before saying, "Send for more people from our Ye Family. I don't know what happened, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
The butler nodded in agreement to this before turning to take care of this.
The girl turned back to look down at the street before saying, "He really was interesting." Then with a sigh, she said, "It's too bad that we'll probably never meet again."
