The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

"I don't want it, let me go!"

Before we even got close to the crowd, the sounds from inside could be heard.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly. He released the rope holding Maodou and walked into the crowd to see what was going on.

Four men who looked like servants were pulling a young girl, and a basket was lying on the ground next to them, its contents scattered all over the ground.

Standing to the side was a richly dressed young man with a smile on his face and a mocking look in his eyes.

This person looked somewhat familiar to Jiang Ning.

It was the same person who said he was blocking the way yesterday.

Chapter 34: I'll take care of it

Most of the onlookers were ordinary people. Although they looked indignant when they saw the young man forcibly abducting a woman in the street, they dared not speak and looked at the young man with a hint of fear in their eyes.

There were also a few people dressed in fine clothes, but when they saw this scene, they only frowned and had no intention of intervening. Occasionally, they would look at the young man with a look of fear in their eyes.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.

No one cares?

"Hahaha, if you follow my young master, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."

A rogue-looking servant grinned lewdly. He was the most unruly of all the servants. His hands were dirty when he was pulling at the girl, but he did so discreetly and didn't dare to go too far, since so many people were watching. This was the girl their young master had taken a liking to.

The girl struggled desperately, her face filled with panic.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing her like this only fueled the anger of the servants, and their laughter became even more grotesque.

"what!"

Just as they were laughing wildly, a pebble shot out from the crowd and hit one of the servants in the eye. The servant screamed and then released the girl's hand, covering his eye and rolling around on the ground howling.

"Who?"

"Who the hell is so stupid as to dare to hit someone from the Xu family?"

The other servants, instead of being afraid when they saw their companion's miserable state, glared angrily at the onlookers.

The young nobleman who was smiling also turned gloomy.

Amidst the menacing stares of the group, a young man dressed in light blue stepped out from the crowd, his gaze cold and sharp.

"Who are you? How dare you hit one of our people? What's your name?"

"Don't you even know whose family we are? You dare to mess with members of the Xu family? Are you tired of living?"

One of the servants glared menacingly at Jiang Ning and threatened him.

"Ah."

Jiang Ning sneered, "You think you're worthy?"

"you!"

The servant was furious and tried to grab Jiang Ning, but was stopped by the young nobleman. He stepped forward, looked at Jiang Ning, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's you?"

The young nobleman was somewhat surprised; he recognized Jiang Ning.

However, he showed no fear. Instead, he asked Jiang Ning with a stern face, "You blinded my servant. What do you mean by that?"

Now that Jiang Ning has stepped forward, the attack just now must have been his doing.

Jiang Ning sneered, pointing at the girl who was still being held by the servants, and said, "What do you mean?"

The young nobleman frowned, glanced at the girl, then at Jiang Ning, and asked, "Do you know each other?"

At this moment, the girl's face was streaked with tears and filled with fear.

Jiang Ning did not answer him, but pointed at the girl and said, "Let her go."

The young nobleman sneered, "What if I don't let go?"

Jiang Ning shut his mouth and walked towards the girl.

The young nobleman's face was extremely gloomy.

Although his father warned him not to provoke these martial arts figures, he was used to being arrogant in Xi'an Prefecture. Yesterday, when Jiang Ning blocked his way, he had already been quite tolerant by not ordering anyone to attack Jiang Ning. He never expected that this person would interfere with his good deeds again.

The young nobleman simply raised his hand and waved it. The servants instantly understood, and one of them raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and smashed it towards Jiang Ning.

Bang!

Jiang Ning kicked the burly servant in the chest, sending him flying. Then the next servant attacked.

Jiang Ning reached out and grabbed the arm of one of the servants who was swinging it. With a sharp twist, a crisp cracking sound came from the servant's arm. Then he kicked another servant, sending him crashing to his knees, clutching his stomach and howling in pain.

After dealing with the servants in the blink of an eye, Jiang Ning turned to look at the young nobleman, the meaning in his eyes causing Jiang Ning to subconsciously take a step back.

Jiang Ning then walked over and kicked him, knocking him to the ground where he clutched his stomach with a pained expression.

However, Jiang Ning didn't make any more moves after that. Instead, he said to the girl, "Let's go quickly."

At this moment, the girl showed Jiang Ning a grateful expression, then grabbed her basket, pushed through the crowd, and hurriedly left, without even picking up the things that had fallen to the ground.

After seeing the girl walk away, Jiang Ning let the group go and then took Maodou's rope and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, the young nobleman got up from the ground. When he realized that the other party did not dare to kill him in broad daylight, he thought of his family's influence in Xi'an Prefecture. He was immediately filled with anger and said fiercely to Jiang Ning's back.

"Do you think you can save her? You like saving people, don't you? Can you stay by her side forever? There will be times when you're not around, right? As long as she's still in Xi'an Prefecture, she won't escape my grasp. You can save her once, can you save her twice? You can save her, but can you save anyone else?"

Jiang Ning, who was leading Maodou out of the city, stopped and turned to look at him. The coldness in her eyes made the young nobleman instinctively shut his mouth.

Just when he thought the other party wouldn't do anything to him in broad daylight, he wanted to continue to hurl threats at him, but the next second he found that the other party was walking towards him and had taken the sword off the back of the donkey.

Seeing the other person walk towards him without saying a word, their eyes as cold as ice, the young nobleman panicked.

"What do you want to do?"

"Think it over carefully. I am the second young master of the Xu family. My father is Xu Heqing, a former third-rank official. If you mess with me, you will find it difficult to move an inch in Xi'an Prefecture."

"hehe."

Jiang Ning laughed, but it was a cold laugh.

"If I touch you, I'll be unable to move an inch. What if I kill you?"

"what?"

The young nobleman's heart skipped a beat, as if he could hardly believe it.

"You dare to kill me?"

Jiang Ning sneered, "You've reminded me. I can save that girl once or twice, but I can't save her five or six times. As long as you're alive, she'll still be in danger. If I kill you, she won't be threatened anymore."

"No, you can't kill me."

The young nobleman's expression finally turned fearful. He looked at Jiang Ning approaching him and kept backing away.

"If you kill me, my father will never let you get away with it!"

Jiang Ning just looked at him with a cold smile and didn't say anything.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

When the young nobleman realized that the other party really wanted to kill him, he was truly terrified.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please don't kill me, please, I won't bother that girl anymore, please don't kill me."

The young nobleman kept begging Jiang Ning for mercy, and kept backing away, trying to escape from here.

The crowd behind him quickly made way, as if trying to avoid him at all costs.

They watched in shock, never expecting things to turn out so quickly.

"Please let me go, I was really wrong, I won't do it again, I swear!"

Perhaps due to extreme fear, the young nobleman wanted to escape, but found himself powerless and could only keep moving backward away from Jiangning.

Jiang Ning looked at him with a cold smile, her pace quickening.

"If admitting mistakes were enough, what would be the point of having a government? What would be the point of having laws?"

"Are you truly repenting now? You're just afraid of my power and the threat of death."

"If I let you go now, I'm afraid you'll seek revenge on that girl's family later."

"You act so recklessly in Xi'an Prefecture, daring to abduct women in broad daylight and threatening people's lives at every turn. Your family must be very powerful, so powerful that they collude with the officials of Xi'an Prefecture and control everything in Xi'an Prefecture. No one dares to provoke you or expose you."

“Since the government can’t punish you and the law can’t restrain you, then I’ll take charge and punish you.”

"Didn't you say I couldn't save her? Or anyone else? I'd like to see if I can."

Zheng~

Jiang Ning approached the young nobleman and drew his sword to strike.

Heads fell to the ground.

Chapter 35: Where is the Xu residence? Point me in the right direction.

The crowd erupted in uproar.

They truly didn't expect that this young man would actually dare to kill the young nobleman.

But it's not over yet.

Jiang Ning turned to look at the servants lying on the ground groaning, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

"You...you killed Young Master Xu! Our Xu family will not let you get away with this! My master will issue a nationwide warrant for your arrest!"

A servant, witnessing this scene, trembled in horror.

Jiang Ning sneered, "Where is your Xu residence? I'm about to pay you a visit."

Having said that, Jiang Ning strode forward and attacked the group of servants.

Screams suddenly sounded.

The servant closest to Jiang Ning was stabbed through the throat by his sword. He then pulled out the sword, leaving a trail of blood, and then charged at the others.

"Keeping you alive is just asking for trouble; we must eliminate evil completely."

Jiang Ning spoke with a cold laugh as he killed them.

Soon, the other two servants also died at his hands, leaving only the last servant who had threatened him alive.

The servant stared in horror at the scene and turned to run away, but Jiang Ning kicked him in the back, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt.

Jiang Ning stepped forward, raised his foot and stomped on his back, pointed his blood-stained sword at him, and asked, "Where is your Xu residence? Point me in the right direction."

The servant was screaming in terror and didn't answer Jiang Ning's question at all.

Jiang Ning's eyes were cold. He pushed the sword forward, piercing the servant's clothes, and the tip of the sword pressed against his back.

"In... in Liulin Lane, fifty meters to the left after turning left onto East Avenue."

A sharp pain shot through his back, and the servant hurriedly replied.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Before he could finish speaking, the servant felt a sharp pain in his back and then fell silent.

Jiang Ning withdrew his sword, his face ashen.

He turned to look around, but there was no one there. The crowd had scattered and fled when he killed the young nobleman and began chasing after the servants.

Jiang Ning remained expressionless, forcefully flicked his sword to wipe away the blood, and then sheathed it.

"Let's go to Willow Lane."

Jiang Ning rolled onto his back and said to Maodou.

The news of his killing of these people will soon reach the authorities, and the officials will arrive soon; he needs to act quickly.
