"Honored guests, this restaurant is doing proper business. So, please sit down and enjoy the performance. Don't disturb everyone," a nearby waiter came over and advised.
"We've entered your restaurant and paid for the wine. So, we're the masters. We can do whatever we want. Get out of the way," another scoundrel jumped out and grabbed the waiter's clothes. He then shouted with a crooked mouth and slanted eyes.
"What the honored guests said is reasonable. But, you've caused a disturbance and scared away the customers. How will our restaurant continue to do business?
You look unfamiliar. You must be foreigners. Our restaurant's Boss is a High Official Jin of this city. You must think carefully. It's not a good thing to offend our Boss, "the waiter wasn't afraid. He calmly said.
The scoundrels cast their gazes towards the splendidly dressed Youth.
"High Official Jin?
You must be Jin Fugui. He's only a small steward of our Golden Dragon Gang. But, he dares to call himself an official in front of this Young Master, "the splendidly dressed Youth sneered. His hand was still grabbing the green-clothed girl. It seemed as if he was grabbing a white rabbit.
"Are you from the Golden Dragon Gang?" The waiter's face revealed a trace of panic.
"Are you blind? This is the only son of the Golden Dragon Gang's Boss." The scoundrel grabbed the waiter's hand and threw him to the ground.
The waiter was dumbstruck. He lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up. His whole body was shivering.
The splendidly dressed Youth looked at the green-clothed girl. His Adam's apple moved.
He had seen many women. But, it was rare to see such a young and delicate beauty.
"Ahem!
Drive everyone out, "the splendidly dressed Youth growled.
The complexions of the other people in the restaurant changed. They didn't need anyone to drive them out. They scrambled downstairs and ran away. In the blink of an eye, only Han Li and Violet Spirit were left in the distance.
"You don't want to look for trouble. Quickly get out of here," a scoundrel shouted at the two people.
Violet Spirit had transformed into an ordinary woman. So, she didn't attract the attention of those scoundrels.
Han Li's eyes turned cold. Just now, watching the crowd listening to the book made him recall memories from a long time ago. He seemed to have comprehended something, but he was interrupted by these people.
"Spoilsport." He snorted and flicked the chopsticks on the table.
The chopsticks moved slightly, and then calmed down.
Suddenly, blood splattered from the hands of a few scoundrels. Each of their wrists was pierced by a chopstick.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Only then did the few of them react. They held their wrists and screamed.
The Youth in luxurious clothes was the same. His wrist was pierced by the chopsticks and he let go of the green-clothed girl.
The young girl stared blankly at the scene before her. Then, she hurriedly ran to the old storyteller's side and helped him up.
"Let's go." Han Li stood up, took out a small ingot of silver, put it on the table, and walked downstairs.
Violet Spirit smiled faintly and stood up to follow.
The two storytellers were afraid that the well-dressed Youth and the others would take revenge, so they hurried downstairs.
The Youth in luxurious clothes and the others couldn't bear the pain, so they didn't stop them.
"Benefactor, please stay." Han Li and Violet Spirit had just walked out of the restaurant when the old storyteller and his granddaughter caught up to them.
Han Li's expression changed, and he stopped in his tracks.
"Benefactor, thank you for helping us today. If Xiao Cui had fallen into those people's hands, she would have died." The old storyteller thanked Han Li.
The green-clothed girl knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Han Li to thank him.
Han Li was about to let them get up when his expression suddenly changed, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Han?" Violet Spirit asked softly.
"It's nothing. You don't have to be so polite." Han Li's expression immediately recovered. He waved his sleeve, and an invisible force lifted the two of them up.
The two of them looked at Han Li with reverence.
"Those people seem to have a powerful background. You'd better leave quickly. I can save you once, but I can't save you a second time," Han Li said.
"Those people are from the Golden Dragon Gang. The Golden Dragon Gang's influence covers the entire Tiezhou. Where can we escape to if they want to retaliate?" The old storyteller's face revealed a trace of distress.
"Your accent is different from that of the people of Jade Mountain City. You must've come from another place. Where is your hometown?" Han Li asked.
"My grandfather and I are from Qing Prefecture. We fled here because of a famine in our hometown," the green-clothed girl replied.
"Qing Prefecture?
Is there a place where two big rivers run parallel to each other? "Han Li's eyebrows twitched as he asked.
"Yes," the green-clothed girl was startled. She nodded and replied.
"Where is your hometown in Qing Prefecture? Tell me in detail. Also, describe the surrounding environment of your home in detail," Han Li narrowed his eyes as he asked.
The green-clothed girl and the old storyteller looked at each other. They hesitated for a moment. Then, they described their hometown and the situation of their residence in detail.
"So, that's how it is. That thatched house with a big willow tree in front of its door is your home," Han Li chuckled.
The green-clothed girl and the old storyteller were dumbfounded. They hadn't mentioned the willow tree in front of their door when they had described the situation. So, how did this person know about it?
"Let's go. I'll take you home." Han Li flicked his sleeve, and a golden light enveloped the two of them. Then, it shone faintly.
The eyes of the two of them were suddenly filled with golden light. Then, their bodies became extremely light. In fact, it seemed as if they were floating in the air.
Their feet landed on the solid ground the next moment. The surrounding golden light also disappeared, and their field of vision was restored.
However, the surrounding situation had changed. They were no longer in Jade Mountain City. Instead, they had appeared in a small village near a lake.
Han Li and Purple Spirit were nowhere to be seen.
Not far in front of the two of them were three thatched houses. There was a lush weeping willow in front of the door, and its leaves swayed in the wind.
"This is our hometown …" The green-clothed girl and the old storyteller were dumbfounded. They rubbed their eyes vigorously, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"It seems that the famine in your hometown has passed. Here is some silver. Live well in your hometown from now on."
Han Li's faint voice came from above. Then, an ingot of silver fell from the sky and landed in the old storyteller's hand.
"Many thanks for your help, Immortal. In the future, the two of us will establish a seat of longevity for you. We will worship you day and night!" The old storyteller came to his senses and bowed deeply to the sky.
The green-clothed girl also hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
In the air, Han Li and Purple Spirit stood in the air.
"Brother Han, I didn't expect you to have such a chivalrous heart. Not only did you save them, but you also sent them home," Purple Spirit said with a smile.
Han Li didn't speak. Instead, he closed his eyes. It seemed as if he was sensing something. Then, a trace of happiness appeared on his face.
"Brother Han, why are you so happy?" Purple Spirit looked surprised when she saw Han Li's appearance.
"Purple Spirit, I've found an opportunity to create a Good Corpse," Han Li opened his eyes and said with a smile on his face.
"Really?
What opportunity? "Purple Spirit was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.
Han Li didn't speak. He pointed at the two people below.
"Are you saying that helping others will help you sense a Good Corpse?" Purple Spirit's beautiful eyes flashed as she asked.
Han Li nodded with a smile.
He had inadvertently helped the two people below to get rid of the entanglement of the Golden Dragon Gang. When the two people had thanked him, he had felt an invisible force wrap around his body. This had made him feel that the bottleneck of the Good Corpse had loosened a little.
As for Han Li, he had sent the two people back to their hometown to verify his feeling. Sure enough, when the two people thanked him for the second time, another invisible force had spread over him.
However, the second invisible force was a lot less than the first one.
"That's right. Helping others is a good deed. I remember Brother Han saying that because you don't have a deep understanding of the True Meaning of 'Kindness', you can't sense the Good Corpse in your body. By helping others, you can deepen your understanding of the True Meaning of 'Kindness'. Then, it will be helpful for you to cut the Good Corpse." Purple Spirit was also an exceptionally intelligent person. She instantly understood the reason behind this.
"That's right. Now that I've found a way, it'll be easy," Han Li said with a smile. Then, his huge Divine Sense suddenly spread out in all directions.
Now that his Art of Cultivating Spirit had reached the sixth level, the power of his Divine Sense had greatly increased. So, the range of his Divine Sense had also greatly increased. Now, it had enveloped a small part of the Soaring Wing Immortal Domain.
Han Li had reached the sixth level of the Art of Cultivating Spirit. Not only had the range of his Divine Sense greatly increased, but its precision had also greatly improved. Within the range of his Divine Sense, he could see the actions of countless cultivators and mortals. Among them, there were many people who had been bullied and humiliated like the two people.
He pinched an incantation gesture. Then, streaks of golden lightning emerged and enveloped the two people.
The lightning flashed, and the two people disappeared without a trace.
…
On a certain mountain road in Feilu Province, a group of masked bandits had stopped a convoy of escorts. Both sides were engaged in a fierce battle.
The bandits were numerous in number. Moreover, they had launched a sneak attack from a dangerous place on the mountain road. So, the escorts of the escorts were quickly wiped out. Only a tall and sturdy old man, who seemed to be the leader, had led the last two escorts in a fierce battle against the enemies.
"Ah!" "Ah!" Two miserable screams rang out. The last two escorts had been stabbed several times and collapsed in a pool of blood.
A trace of pain flashed in the tall and sturdy old man's eyes, but he didn't stop. He waved the ghost-headed saber in his hand wildly. Saber light flashed and forced the surrounding bandits away.
"Xiang Zong, the people of your Flying Tiger Escort Agency are already dead. Why aren't you kowtowing and begging for mercy? If we're happy, we might spare your life." Outside the battlefield, a tall bandit wielding two sabers laughed loudly.
"Thief Liu, if you want to kill me, then kill me. I, Xiang Zong, am an indomitable person. How can I lower my head to bandits like you?!"
At this moment, the tall and sturdy old man's left arm was injured and half of his body was bathed in blood. However, he still looked majestic and didn't show any signs of weakening.
"Good!
As expected of the Chief Escort of the Flying Tiger Escort Agency. Your spirit is outstanding.
However, one must not only have spirit, but also adapt to the circumstances. Since Chief Escort is in a hurry to die, then I'll fulfill your wish! "The tall and sturdy bandit sneered and waved his hand.
The bandits beside him took a step forward. Each of them took out a three-foot-long crossbow from their back. The crossbow was loaded with a dozen or so arrows. They aimed at the tall and sturdy old man and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Hundreds of arrows violently shot out and covered the tall and sturdy old man like rain.
