“Looking for your ancestor? I am here.”
The burly man heard the commotion and quickly turned around to see Su Ying’s slender figure at the entrance of the inn.
The group of thugs all turned around and saw her standing with her back against the night light. She looked like a figure who had stepped out of hell after a bloodbath.
“That’s her. Capture her!”
Su Ying turned around and went outside the inn. The empty street was instantly filled with thugs.
Su Ying slowly twisted her neck. Her almond-shaped eyes hidden in the darkness were as dark as a black hole.
The thugs lunged forward like ferocious tigers. Their every move and strike was intended to kill her.
Su Ying punched and kicked mercilessly. She smashed each man so hard that he couldn’t even fight back.
Mo Tu stood on the top floor of the inn with Que Que in his arms. When he saw that the group of people couldn’t gain any advantage over Su Ying at all, his attractive brows slowly furrowed as if he were thinking about Su Ying’s background.
Su Ying grabbed two thugs with both hands and slammed them into each other with great force. Blood spurted out from both of them as they fell to the ground.
With such a huge commotion, the people in the district were woken up. However, when they came out and saw such a large-scale melee, they were so scared that they shrank back.
After an unknown period of time, the noise on the street gradually died down. Only the dull, thumping sounds of bundles being thrown could be heard.
Su Ying threw the people on the ground to the two sides of the street to avoid obstructing traffic.
She came to the only person who was still conscious and slowly squatted down to look at his downright terrified face that had become as swollen as a pig’s head.
“Who told you guys to come?”
The other party trembled and said, “It’s… it’s our Lord, the Youngest… Youngest Brother-in-law.”
“Who is Lord Youngest Brother-in-law?”
“He’s… he’s the City Guardian… City Guardian’s youngest brother-in-law, Ma Zhi.”
“Did he ask you guys to collect protection fees from the stall owners in the streets and alleys?”
“Yes… yes.”
Su Ying tilted her head slightly, revealing her face completely under the moonlight. “Have a good look at my face. If you guys are not willing to swallow this, tell him to come and look for me. Do you understand?”
“Yes… yes… we understand. We understand.”
“Get lost.”
The other party stumbled and scrambled away.
However, with such a huge commotion happening on the street, it was impossible the government officials were not alerted.
Not long after Su Ying returned to the inn, the official arrived. However, Su Ying and Mo Tu had already left with Que Que, but they didn’t go far. Instead, they found another inn in a more remote corner of the street.
Under the candlelight, Mo Tu looked at the back of Su Ying’s hand which was covered in blood, and frowned slightly. “You’re injured.”
Su Ying lowered her eyes to look at her hand when she heard him. “It’s just a small superficial wound.”
After Mo Tu placed Que Que on the bed and covered her with a blanket, he took out a handkerchief intending to bandage Su Ying’s wound. However, he saw that she had already sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound.
“Let me do it.” Mo Tu took the bandage from her hand.
Su Ying avoided his hand and quickly wrapped the bandage around her wound. “No need.”
A strange emotion flashed across Mo Tu’s eyes, but he did not say anything. “I’m afraid those local tyrants won’t let this go so easily.”
Su Ying sat down on a chair and yawned. “I know.” They were beasts that needed to be taught a lesson in the first place. Since she had already beaten them up, so be it. At most, she could just use a different face when she went to collect her clearance pass tomorrow.
Mo Tu could see the exhaustion on her face and said, “Go and rest first. I’ll keep watch at night.”
Su Ying nodded, got up, and went to sleep in the guest room next door.
Meanwhile, the thugs stumbled and scrambled back to a big mansion.
It was late at night, but the main courtyard of the residence was still brightly lit.
As they approached the mansion, they could hear the charming laughter and teasing coming from inside.
“Your Lordship, you are so mean. You hurt me.”
“Hehe! I just want to hurt you. Hahahaha!”
“Your Lordship, Your Lordship.”
The man known as the Youngest Brother-in-law was enjoying himself immensely in the mansion when he heard a series of shouts coming from outside the door.
He answered impatiently, “What is it?”
“My Lord, the guys… guys came back all beaten up.”
When Ma Zhi heard that, he ordered the men to be sent in. When his triangular-shaped eyes saw the thugs who had been beaten up until their heads swelled up like a pig’s head, his face became contorted.
“You brought dozens of men with you, but you couldn’t even catch a woman?”
The thugs wanted to cry but no tears came out. “Your Lordship, you are not aware. That woman is simply not human. She’s too… too fucking scary, my Lord… She… she alone… single-handedly beat up all the men we brought there. All of them!”
These words astounded Ma Zhi. He pushed away the woman on top of him and sat up with an even more contorted expression. “You are telling me that she, a woman, defeated dozens of you guys?”
“Yes… yes, my Lord.”
Ma Zhi felt that this was impossible, but his men would not dare to lie to him. “Could it be that they met a tough opponent?” A moment later, he gave a disdainful snort. “So what if she’s a tough one? She still has to die if she dares to offend me. Get lost and tell the government officials not to interfere. I’ll handle this matter properly.”
“Yes… yes, my Lord.”
After the thugs left, Ma Zhi took out a stack of silver notes from a brocade box and summoned his trusted aide. “Take it to the people of the Red Demon Sect. I must take that woman’s life!”
The trusted aide took the banknotes, bowed, and excused himself.
At noon the next day, Su Ying put on a simple disguise and collected the clearance passes from All-round Gao.
The thugs that Su Ying had taken care of last night were taken away by someone else that night. The authorities didn’t come to their door to investigate either. It was as if nothing had happened.
Su Ying handed the clearance passes to Mo Tu. “What plans do you two have?”
Mo Tu looked at the clearance passes and then raised his head to look at Su Ying. “Don’t tell me you’re thinking of abandoning me and Que Que, Heroine Su?”
Su Ying frowned. She had never considered bringing them along with her forever. “You still want to follow me? Didn’t you already recover your memory? Why are you still following me?”
A hint of sorrow flashed across Mo Tu’s eyes. “Even if I recover my memory, I am still all alone. 1 might as well follow you and roam all over the world.”
“Who wants to roam the world with you? I want to go to the Chu State.”
Su Ying had never considered letting Mo Tu follow her all the way, so she never asked about his past. However, if he insisted on following her, then he would have to be honest with her about his past. However, judging from Mo Tu’s behavior, he didn’t intend to tell her. Thus, she would never bring an unknown hidden danger back to the Chu State.
“Then we will follow you to the Chu State.”
Su Ying glanced at him. There was still some time before she left the Jin State, so he could follow her if he wanted to.
“Up to you.”
The three packed up their belongings and left the inn. For convenience in traveling, Su Ying planned to buy a horse carriage to avoid having to walk all the way.
“Speaking of which, it’s strange. There was such a big commotion last night, but there’s no movement at all today.” Since those people were the local tyrants and had suffered such a huge loss at Su Ying’s hands, how could they let her off so easily? However, as Su Ying’s group walked on the streets, they didn’t sense anything amiss.
Those scoundrels were like sinister hyenas. They would not stop until they restored their pride and dignity. It was just that Su Ying did not know what kind of despicable plots they were hatching while cowering down.
Su Ying and her group went to the place where horse carriages were sold. They first bought a fairly big horse carriage and then chose two horses. One was a young and strong horse, and the other was an old horse that knew the way.
After they came out, they bought some dry food from the shops before getting into the horse carriage. Then they got ready to leave the city.
As soon as their horse carriage left, a figure emerged from behind them..
