The sage was determined to die.

Ji Bai subconsciously glanced at what Yan Ming was holding.

The obvious pile of trash made Ji Bai feel an inappropriate sense of guilt, and he instinctively slapped Yan Ming on the back of the head.

"Picking, picking, picking, all you do all day is pick."

His tone was exactly like a father scolding his son, and he didn't stop lecturing while doing so: "Other people rob the rich to help the poor, how come you're robbing the poor to help the poor? Sigh, you haven't learned any of my good qualities."

Yan Ming raised his hand to block, retorting, "Didn't you say that?"

"Besides," Yan Ming muttered, glancing at the unconscious man, "why didn't you kill him?"

Ji Bai lowered his hand, clicked his tongue, dragged the unconscious person aside, and gestured with his chin to Yan Ming.

"I haven't even asked you yet, have you seen this person before?"

Upon hearing Ji Bai's question, Yan Ming began to examine the man's appearance more closely. He rubbed his chin slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I feel like I've seen him before, he looks somewhat familiar."

"Then let's consider this an acquaintance, and I won't kill you."

Ji Bai didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and left, leaving the two behind him completely bewildered. Yan Ming asked, "Are you just going to leave it like that?"

"Leaving it alone is also a form of management." Ji Bai nodded. "Time for the next one."

The two were completely bewildered and didn't ask any more questions, so they had no choice but to follow Ji Bai.

A moment later, Ji Bai knocked out three more people. His movements were so swift and precise that the other two had no chance to react.

The two stood by, watching Ji Bai's actions. After knocking the person in front of him unconscious, Ji Bai took the Wenxin Fragment from the person's side without any hesitation.

Yan Ming instinctively asked, "Wait, didn't you say we didn't need to rob... no, pick it up?"

Ji Bai glanced at him in surprise, weighed the shards in his hand, and said to him, "Is there anything wrong with taking back what's mine?"

That being said, why does it sound so strange?

"Besides," Ji Bai changed the subject, coldly retorting, "this kid insulted me before."

Oh, that's right.

After knocking out several people, the three of them were able to advance their journey.

Whether it was a pang of conscience or a sudden probing, Gongsun Yang asked Ji Bai, "They've all just collapsed here. What if something big happens later? Won't they be easily killed?"

Before Ji Bai could speak, Yan Ming said disdainfully, "When did you become so hypocritical?"

Gongsun Yang: "..."

Nonsense, don't think he didn't see it. The people they knocked out were basically "their own people" who had worked together before.

Gongsun Yang glanced at Ji Bai's profile; the other man's face was taut, and he looked even somewhat serious.

He sighed inwardly, a hint of other thoughts swirling in his mind.

Why was Ji Bai able to find those people so easily?

Could it really be a telepathic connection?

……

Of course, it's impossible to have a telepathic connection.

After thinking it over for a while, Ji Bai decided not to act rashly and looked regretful: "The others can't be moved. Those guys are quite smart; they all know to operate as a group."

Yan Ming nodded and said approvingly, "Those kinds of big gangs are definitely not something a small gang like ours can handle."

After going out for a while, Gongsun Yang, who was somehow out of sync with them, couldn't stay silent any longer and spoke up, "I think so too."

"But then again," Ji Bai said, "taking a gamble isn't out of the question."
