Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

call--

After leaving the square, Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and took Li Nian for a stroll in the bustling city, curious about everything.

Li Nian knew that these two girls were pampered young ladies who rarely left their homes, so it was rare for them to come out.

Having been sightseeing for so long, Li Nian still hadn't noticed the guards following her, and asked curiously:

"Second Miss, Fourth Miss, did you sneak out of the Yi residence?"

If that's the case, he would have to send the two women back to their residence before the martial arts banquet began.

If you can't protect yourself in the ring, it would be terrible if someone captured you.

After all, he knew that Shenyuan Village had designs on these two girls.

Given the connection between the Zhang family and Shenyuan Village, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the Zhang family wouldn't arrest people within the city!

"No, that's not true!"

Yi Mingxi said angrily:

"We came out with our family. After our mother found out we were going to see you, she removed the guards so we could have as much fun as we wanted!"

Yi Jieyi nodded and said:

"Brother Li, what Mingxi said is true, we are not lying to you."

Li Nian nodded knowingly.

He roughly understood that Yi Shurao was intentionally trying to bring him together with Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi.

He likes the two girls' personalities; he'll see how they develop.

The quick-witted Yi Jieyi, who was standing to the side, also understood Yi Shurao's deeper meaning. She had mustered up all her courage to come to see Li Nian this time.

Seeing that Li Nian had roughly figured out the deeper meaning but didn't get angry or complain, she finally felt relieved.

As long as Li Nian doesn't oppose her, she has a chance!

As soon as the thought was formed, Yi Jieyi spoke:

"Brother Li, from now on you don't need to call us 'Miss,' you can just call us by our names, like 'Yui.'"

"Yes, Brother Li, calling me 'Miss' sounds too distant. From now on, please call me Mingxi."

Yi Mingxi walked, jumped, and spun around.

Li Nian smiled and said:

"Okay, Yui, Aki!"

"Yay! Brother Li, let's go to the lake and feel the breeze!"

Overjoyed, Yi Mingxi pulled Li Nian's sleeve and headed towards the lake.

The three of them walked along the lakeside path, enjoying the lake breeze.

"Third Young Master, please don't..."

"Don't want it? Little Kite, are you playing hard to get?"

"The Third Young Master has taken a liking to you; you should accept it. Don't be ungrateful!"

"That's right, don't think that just because you talk about practicing blood cultivation, you can defy the Third Young Master in the Ruan family!"

As I was walking, I heard the voices of a man and a woman coming from a secluded alleyway along the lake ahead.

Upon hearing the woman's familiar voice, Li Nian frowned and walked straight towards her.

Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi followed obediently behind.

Wherever Li Nian went, they went.

At that time, in the lakeside alley.

Ruan Hanyuan was huddled in a corner by several men, trembling with fear. A man dressed in fine clothes grabbed her hair and threatened her:

"Little Yuan'er, you'd better change your mind. Come with me to the restaurant now."

"If you dare to resist, I'll take care of you right here and now, and let these other bastards enjoy it too!"

"I'll give you three breaths to consider!"

After saying that, he patted Ruan Hanyuan's face with his other hand.

Ruan Hanyuan's face was ashen, her drooping eyes fixed on a sharp tile about two fingers wide on the ground.

Just as the man's grip on her hair loosened slightly, he suddenly lunged forward, grabbed the sharp piece of tile, and was about to slit his own throat.

Just as she picked up the tile, a leg swept over and kicked her wrist hard, sending the tile flying out of her hand.

The man flew into a rage and said:

"Ruan Hanyuan! I gave you a chance, but since you don't know any manners, I'll punish you right here!"

"Men, go and keep watch at both ends of the alley. If it comes to the Heavenly King himself, get him out of here!"

After saying that, he grabbed Ruan Hanyuan by the collar and pressed her against the wall, reaching out to tear Ruan Hanyuan's pants.

Just then, a man's low shout came from the alleyway:

"stop!"

"Trying to be a hero? You're asking for it!"

Two men who used to guard the alley entrance raised their fists to punch the newcomer.

As a result, the newcomer raised his right leg and kicked the two men away in two quick movements, sending them crashing heavily into the wall.

"Damn it!"

Enraged at the sight, the man holding Ruan Hanyuan down had no choice but to stop what he was doing.

After examining the visitor's attire, he suddenly laughed:

"Who is it? It turns out to be the little chick from Qinyun Martial Arts School."

"Ruan Hanyuan, look at this man, isn't he your lover?"

"If that's the case, I'll take you right here in front of him today. Do you think he'll still like you then?"

After saying that, he pinched Ruan Hanyuan's face and looked in the direction of the person who came.

Upon seeing who it was, Ruan Hanyuan's lifeless eyes regained their light:

"Li...Senior Brother Li!"

That's right.

The person who arrived was none other than Li Nian!

After a moment, Ruan Hanyuan shouted with her last strength:

"Senior Brother Li, run! Don't worry about me!"

"That Ruan Bin is a beast!"

Ruan Bin sneered:

"run?"

"Once you're here, don't even think about running away!"

After saying this, he left Ruan Hanyuan and looked at Li Nian.

Suddenly, two beautiful figures appeared behind Li Nian.

Ruan Bin raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming with lust, and swallowed hard, saying:

"I wondered whose bodyguard this kid from the Qinyun Martial Arts School was, daring to steal my woman, Ruan Bin. Turns out he's the bodyguard of my two sisters, Yui and Mingxi."

"Long time no see, you've all become more beautiful, and your figures are even better."

"Since you've run into me today, don't leave. Stay here and have some fun with me. I'll help you develop some business."

After saying that, he gestured to the people who had just returned from guarding the alley entrance at the other end to keep an eye on Ruan Hanyuan, while he himself walked towards Li Nian and the other two.

Seeing Ruan Bin approaching, Yi Jieyi said:

"Brother Li, this man is Ruan Bin, the third young master of the Ruan family. He broke through the third level of the Tendon Refining stage half a month ago and is now cultivating the Flowing Cloud Jade Hand. He has reached a minor level of mastery. It is a defensive palm technique known for its power to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces of force. Be careful not to get entangled with him."

Ruan Bin said with a mocking expression:

"Yui, you know me pretty well, don't you? You know I'm skilled, I'll make you feel like you're in heaven later."

Having said that, he looked at Li Nian disdainfully and said:

"What can a nobody from outlying cities do, even if he knows my strength?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped up, his hands moving rapidly in the air as he lunged at Li Nian.

"Flowing clouds entwine jade hands; heavy clouds press down on the city!"

The palm wind was like dark clouds pressing down on the city, and countless palm shadows spread out and enveloped the area. The continuous and entwining force rushed towards him, trying to trap Li Nian tightly in the palm's power.

"You're scared out of your wits, aren't you? You country bumpkin who's never seen anything like it!"

"Die, you son of a bitch!"

Seeing that Li Nian remained motionless, Ruan Bin sneered.

However, at that moment, Li Nian clenched his fingers tightly, his hands forming claws, like steel hooks and iron clamps.

With a sudden outward stretch of his arms, resembling a golden eagle spreading its wings, his dormant blood energy and internal strength erupted, creating a powerful wind and causing his clothes to flutter wildly.

His eyes were sharp and cold, like the pupils of a hawk, fixed on the figure rushing towards him from above.

He then stomped his feet hard on the ground, causing the stone slabs to shatter and fly everywhere. His figure transformed into a swift shadow, soaring upwards like a raptor, fiercely rushing towards the layers of palm winds!

Li Nian's throat made a low gurgling sound:

"Shattering Clouds and Tearing Wind Hand!"
