Master Lei turned around in frustration and helplessness, rubbing his face with both hands, and said gloomily, "Are you trying to have fun at my expense?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," Ye Tian repeatedly waved his hands.
The woman quickly looked up when she saw Ye Tian returning, her expression quite complex.
"Then why are you still here after taking the coins?" Seven Dog asked loudly on Master Lei's orders.
"As the saying goes, taking someone's money means you should help them out of trouble. I can't just take Master Lei's money for nothing, can I?" Ye Tian tilted his head and smiled.
"Get lost, hurry up and leave! Our master doesn't need you to help him out of trouble!" Seven Dog waved his hand to shoo him away.
"Heh, then who does your master use to help him out of trouble?" Ye Tian asked with a grin.
"Our master uses..." Seven Dog felt he had stepped into a trap halfway through his sentence; it sounded as if he was cursing Master Lei to have trouble.
"Stop wasting time with him and hit him!" At this moment, Master Lei realized that Ye Tian was clearly trying to cause trouble. He waved his hand to order the group of Lackeys who were cursing at the Middle-Aged Man.
Hearing their master's command, the Lackeys rushed forward one after another, surrounding Ye Tian in the center and preparing to strike.
Ye Tian paid them no mind, allowing them to encircle him. Instead of showing fear, he appeared quite disdainful.
"I warn you all, if you make a move, I won't hold back," Ye Tian said with a smile as he surveyed the group of Lackeys. After observing them earlier, he had a rough understanding of their strength.
The strongest among them was Seven Dog, but he was only a Sixth-Stage Warrior. The others were around the level of Three-Stage Warriors.
Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, the cowardly traits of the Lackey group immediately became apparent. They looked at each other, not wanting to be the one to stick their neck out.
"What are we waiting for? Are we waiting for Brother Seven to take action himself? Just fight already!" Seven Dog, standing next to Master Lei, was the leader of the Lackey and usually did not participate in battles.
Suddenly!
As soon as Seven Dog finished speaking, a figure rushed out from the encirclement of the Lackey, knocking down anyone who tried to block its path, leaving them groaning in pain on the ground.
Smack!
With that person knocked down, Seven Dog felt a flash before his eyes, followed by a sharp pain on his face as if it were on fire.
"Brother Seven, I'm here to ask you to take action personally." Ye Tian executed a series of movements with remarkable grace; the Yuqi Tayan Jue was nearly impossible for the warriors to track. At this moment, Ye Tian stood about ten feet away from Seven Dog, wearing a faint smile that seemed both disdainful and proud. Despite his tattered clothing, it did nothing to hide his fierce aura.
The slap from Ye Tian was heavy; Seven Dog was left dizzy and momentarily stunned, standing there with his hand over his face, unable to speak.
"Hey..."
The voice did not come from the group of Lackey, as they were all relieved they hadn’t attacked Ye Tian. They dared not provoke him further. However, this voice also did not belong to Seven Dog or Master Lei, as the former was still dazed from the blow, while the latter was astonished that such a small beggar could possess such abilities, reflecting on the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover."
"Miss, please speak," Ye Tian turned to look at the woman, realizing she was the one who had spoken.
Seeing Ye Tian looking at her, the woman did not shy away but met his gaze confidently, a sweet smile appearing on her lips.
"May I ask your name?" she finally asked, feeling a bit shy.
"Ye Tian," he quickly turned his head away.
"Thank you, Ye Tian," the woman said, clearly pleased to learn his name. After hesitating for a moment, she added, "My name is Yun'er."
"Oh... Yun'er... that's a lovely name." Ye Tian was quite calculating when it came to confrontations, but he was not very astute when it came to matters of the heart.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Yun'er blushed even more and quickly stepped forward, whispering, "You should leave quickly. He is Thunder Tiger, a notorious figure in the north of the city. You can't afford to offend him."
"Thunder Tiger?" Ye Tian silently repeated the name in his mind, and images of the Wang family flashed through his head. Thunder Tiger and Wang Tianba indeed bore a striking resemblance. Initially intending to help the Juggling Troupe out of trouble, Ye Tian suddenly changed his mind; he wanted to provoke Thunder Tiger and see what kind of abilities he possessed.
"What are you thinking?" Yun'er asked as she waved her hand in front of his face.
"Damn it! What are you little brat doing? Do you think I don't exist?!" Master Lei had finally reacted. Ye Tian's sudden display of strength surprised him, but it did not instill fear in him, as he still felt superior compared to his son who worked at Mountain.
"You’re the brat! Why should I care if you exist?" Yun'er retorted. Having spent years performing with Old Master, she lacked the pretentiousness typical of ordinary women; her every word and action was straightforward, and she wasn't shy about cursing in public.
"Seven Dog! Get over here and beat them up!" Master Lei shouted angrily at the still-dazed Seven Dog.
Seven Dog slightly regained his senses and, holding his swollen left cheek, asked in confusion, "Master, who should I hit?"
"Damn it! What do I keep you useless fools around for?!" Master Lei knew full well the level of incompetence among his lackeys. He believed that as long as he didn’t offend any major figures due to his connection with Mountain, no one would dare undermine him. However, today he encountered a reckless young man; as the saying goes, it's not the troublemakers that are feared but the fools. Normally riding on the coattails of Mountain brought him smooth sailing, but today it seemed utterly ineffective against this little beggar. This situation could turn disastrous if he ended up getting beaten up.
"Little brother, may I ask whose name you are using to act so arrogantly?" Master Lei no longer expected anything from his useless lackeys and shifted the conversation toward the backing behind Ye Tian and Yun'er. He hoped that by saying something like "Oh, so you're a disciple of so-and-so; please send my regards to your master," he could avoid physical punishment.
"Is ruining your plans considered acting arrogantly?" Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle at Master Lei's logic; how could disrupting his public bullying be labeled as arrogance?
Master Lei's face turned awkward upon hearing this. He was used to bullying others and felt frustrated when someone bullied him back. Moreover, he didn't believe he had done anything wrong, which is why he accused Ye Tian of being arrogant.
"Who does this little brother claim to be associated with?" Master Lei asked again.
"Nobody occupies, I just arrived." In fact, Ye Tian could mention Xuanyuan Changfeng at this moment, but he was unwilling to use someone else's fame to boost his own reputation; that was not the way of a man.
"Just arrived at Divine Wood County?" Master Lei's eyes flashed with a hint of barely noticeable joy.
"That's right. I just arrived and encountered you, this fat scoundrel, committing shameless acts in the street. I couldn't stand by and did something about it," Ye Tian replied with a smile. He wanted to make Master Lei relax his guard against him, making him feel like he was an outsider.
"Ah, very good, little brother. You have a strong sense of justice, and I admire you," Master Lei's expression changed rapidly, now wearing a face full of approval, acting as if it were genuine.
"Haha, really?" Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Let them go." After laughing, Ye Tian pointed at the three members of the Juggling Troupe and said coldly.
"Of course, but I have one condition. This condition is not unreasonable but might be a bit abrupt..." Master Lei looked at Ye Tian with an expression full of expectation.
"You just want to invite me for a drink; feel free to say it," Ye Tian sneered.
"How did you know?!" Master Lei exclaimed in shock. He indeed wanted to invite Ye Tian for a drink, but the so-called drinking was actually meant to delay Ye Tian while secretly sending his subordinates to summon his 'Mountain' backer. At that time, no matter how capable Ye Tian was, he would only be left with no choice but to surrender.
"I've seen plenty of tricks like this; let them go, and I'll go drink with you," Ye Tian said casually, fully aware it was a scheme but without the slightest worry.
"Get lost! Don't let me see you again," Master Lei waved his hand angrily, driving away the three members of the Juggling Troupe.
"Wait! People can't be beaten for nothing; I want medical expenses and some compensation from them," Ye Tian said coldly again.
"You!" Master Lei wanted to rage but thought better of it and forcibly held back his anger. He ripped off the money pouch from his waist and painfully threw the entire bag towards Old Master while sneering at Ye Tian, saying, "Is this enough?"
Ye Tian nodded in response with a cold smile.
"Damn it, you little bastard, keep being arrogant for now. Just wait, I will make sure to tear you apart later." Master Lei was not a person with deep schemes. At this moment, he was cursing in his heart, trying to maintain a calm expression but unable to suppress his anger, making his eyes twitch and mouth twist in a rather amusing way.
"Ye Tian, you need to be careful. I hope we meet again someday," Yun'er said as she approached Ye Tian before leaving. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on him, shimmering with emotion. After speaking, she bit her lip, waiting for a response.
"Don't worry, just don't perform here anymore. Find another place," Ye Tian advised, avoiding her gaze.
Yun'er felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but ultimately managed a smile and waved goodbye as she left with her brother and father.
Once the Juggling Troupe had walked far away, Ye Tian turned back to face Master Lei and said, "No need for drinks."
"What?!" Master Lei thought Ye Tian was trying to play tricks on him and was instantly dumbfounded. He had already lost everything, and if Ye Tian wanted to leave, they wouldn't be able to stop him. Where would he go to seek revenge then?
Thinking of this, Master Lei smiled with a very complicated expression and said, "I mean, little brother, it's not too late to have a drink before you go!"
"Don't worry; I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word," Ye Tian had intended to watch Master Lei make a fool of himself. Now that his goal was achieved, he smiled and said, "I just want to save you the trouble of paying for drinks. Let's head straight to Cloudscar Peak instead. This way, you won't have to send someone to deliver a message. It would not only trouble your 'Mountain' connections but also waste time."
To the readers:
The transition may feel a bit bland; otherwise, it would be too abrupt. Please bear with me!
