After learning that she was a Grandmaster-level expert, Lin Xueyi had doubts about Ruoxue's identity, because among all such beings, there was no one named Ruoxue.

Ruoxue must also be a master, because she was able to fight him without being at a disadvantage. You should know that even the Northern Tiger Mondley, who is known as the number one person below the master level, could not withstand a single palm strike from him.

She was able to fight her head-on, and although neither of them used their full strength, it was clear that Ruoxue was definitely not the unknown figure in the martial arts world she had described. In particular, the statement that "there are many people in the martial arts world who are more powerful than her" was simply the biggest lie.

Thinking of this, Lin Xueyi felt her teeth itch, wishing she could bite those two protruding points on that bad woman's breasts hard, to let her know what pain meant.

"Masters at the Grandmaster level... where should I begin? There aren't many Grandmasters in the martial world, only five, ah, no, it should be six." He was about to say five, but then glanced at Lin Xueyi in front of him and quickly corrected himself, adding one more.

Lin Xueyi didn't think anything of Ye Qin'er's change of address, or rather, she didn't even notice it. All she could think about right now was Ruoxue's situation.

If she's not mistaken, Ruoxue is definitely one of these Grandmaster-level experts, and a Grandmaster from Binzhou at that.

"Sister Qin'er, could you tell me about the Grandmaster level experts in Binzhou? After all, I came from Binzhou before."

However, Lin Xueyi did not hear Ye Qin'er's story. Instead, she saw Ye Qin'er's surprised expression, but this did not puzzle Lin Xueyi for long.

"Binzhou, Binzhou is a martial arts wasteland. Not to mention grandmasters, even innate masters are extremely rare. How can one cultivate there?"

Ye Qin'er suddenly stopped, and looking at Lin Xueyi's cute little face, she couldn't say anything more.

That's right, she just couldn't put it into words. She seemed to have forgotten that Lin Xueyi came to Qingzhou from Binzhou. If Binzhou was the end of the martial arts world, then what was Qingzhou? A place that didn't even have a Grandmaster in the present day, what right did it have to talk about Binzhou?

"Huh? There aren't any Grandmasters in Binzhou? That can't be right. What about Ruoxue? Isn't she the only Grandmaster in Binzhou?"

A soft, incredulous voice came from Lin Xueyi's cute little mouth, her big eyes wide open.

"Ruoxue? Ah, you mean the Ruoxue you're talking about is a Grandmaster? That's impossible. None of the other five Grandmaster-level experts are named Ruoxue. I'm afraid Ruoxue hasn't even reached the Grandmaster level yet; she's probably just at the peak of the Innate Realm, similar to someone like Master Meng."

Lin Xueyi frowned slightly, not quite agreeing with Ye Qin'er's words. It was absolutely impossible that someone who could fight her to a standstill wasn't a Grandmaster. Wait, if she wasn't a Grandmaster, then was she really a Grandmaster?

At this moment, Lin Xueyi was once again plunged into endless confusion, unsure whether to believe her own deductions or Ye Qin'er's information.

"Um, are there any very young Grandmaster-level experts besides me, and female Grandmasters at that?"

Ye Qin'er quickly replied to Lin Xueyi's question, "Yes, there are. One is the Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace, and the other is the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Both of them are experts who exist in Zhongzhou and have never been to Binzhou."

Lin Xueyi was somewhat disheartened that she had never been to Binzhou, but she still asked Ye Qin'er with great anticipation what the two grandmasters looked like, hoping to find some clues from the slightest hints.

Then... Ye Qin'er told her that she didn't know, that's right, she didn't know what the two grandmasters looked like. This unexpected answer was yet also reasonable.

After all, even national leaders are often unknown to many people, let alone someone who is only a Grandmaster. However, this answer made Lin Xueyi lower her head and slump her shoulders in disappointment, and she sighed.

"Perhaps Ruoxue already knows about your situation, but she has some things to attend to and hasn't had time to come to you yet."

It would be a lie to say that Ye Qin'er wasn't envious of Ruoxue, whom Lin Xueyi had always longed for. Nevertheless, she still tried to comfort the somewhat dejected Lin Xueyi.

"Well, we can only wait..."

Lin Xueyi was interrupted by a strange noise outside before she could finish speaking. Such a sound in the quiet night was unusual in itself, and the implications behind it were something Lin Xueyi might not fully understand, but Ye Qin'er knew perfectly well.

Just as Lin Xueyi was about to speak and ask a question, a slender, fair hand covered Lin Xueyi's lips. After watching Ye Qin'er raise the index finger of her other hand to make a gesture for her to be quiet, Ye Qin'er then...

Lin Xueyi decisively covered her mouth with her small hands as she watched Ye Qin'er tiptoe to the window, pressing her ear against it as if she were carefully listening to the sounds outside.

"What happened?"

Lin Xueyi tiptoed to the window, somewhat puzzled, and was about to open it to see what was wrong outside. But Ye Qin'er stopped her.

"I suspect that when we entered the city today, someone was already eyeing us. They probably plan to come to the inn tonight and steal all our valuables."

"Huh? Stealing my little bit of money? Are these people looking for death? No way, I can't tolerate this, I absolutely can't tolerate this."

Upon hearing that someone was coming to steal her money, Lin Xueyi instantly exploded and immediately wanted to go out and cause trouble for those robbers. She felt she would be letting herself down if she didn't slap them.

You have to understand, she finally managed to save some money. Don't be fooled by the fact that she had several dozen taels of silver at the beginning, which seems like a lot. But you have to take a good look at her living conditions.

She doesn't have a fixed place to live and has to stay in inns every day. She also needs to eat at inns and restaurants. As for transportation, if she wants to buy a horse, she needs to have enough money to buy fodder.

The most terrifying thing was her clothing. She couldn't possibly wear coarse linen clothes, could she? Even slightly better silk garments weren't cheap. If it weren't for the kind people who gave her some silver when she was at Flying Eagle Fortress, she probably would have run out of money long ago.

Putting aside everything else, just the cost of one of Zhang Lao's carriage rides alone was a hundred taels of silver. Of course, this included food and lodging along the way, as well as the cost of fodder for the horses pulling the carriage.

You don't know how hard it is to manage a household until you've been in charge; you don't know how good money is until you've been short of it. As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny, but Lin Xueyi is not the kind of hero who can be brought down by such a situation.

So if anyone dares to touch her money, she'll fight them to the death and will absolutely not give them any chance to succeed—no, she'll give them any chance to even dream about it.

"Xiao Xueyi, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive."

"Hehehe, my money, hehehe, that's my money..."

This unsettling tone was a complete departure from Lin Xueyi's previous harmless manner, instead giving off a terrifying feeling that made Ye Qin'er feel extremely uneasy.

"Sister Qin'er, you just stay in the room and don't worry about anything. I'll be right back."

Under the cover of night, the Scorpion Gang members had already quietly slipped into the only inn in the rooftop town. They carefully examined the carriages and the boxes piled high on them.

"Boss, that's the convoy's loot over there, several truckloads full. We're going to strike it rich this time."

He spoke in a low voice beside Ma Lechang, but even so, he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone. For the Scorpion Gang, the several carts full of valuables represented a huge sum of money.

"I'm watching. Tell the brothers to be quick and efficient, so no one notices. Do you hear me?"

Ma Lechang gave instructions in a low voice, then, as if remembering something, asked the person behind him, "Third brother, how are those people who delivered the sleeping pills doing? Have they all been dealt with?"

"It's all done, all done. We've blown a lot of sedative smoke into the men's rooms, so they can sleep until the sun is high in the sky tomorrow."

"That's good. Now tell everyone to move quickly, move everything that can be moved. Remember, don't make a sound, and erase all traces."

Ma Lechang originally planned to kill them directly, but after thinking about it, he realized that if things went wrong, they might become the target of public criticism. So he decided to follow the third brother's method: avoid direct confrontation, drug the people inside, and then they could safely take away all the valuables.

One by one, the ropes were cut with knives, and the Scorpion Gang members around the car unloaded the boxes from the vehicle. However, some people did not hold them properly, and if someone hadn't helped, they would have fallen to the ground and made a noise.

"Why are you all so clumsy? Hurry up and move all of this before dawn."

"Oh dear, you're so tired. Why don't you just leave it in the car instead of carrying it?"

While directing his men to move the boxes of silver, Ma Lechang heard a pleasant voice and instinctively replied.

"How can we let this opportunity slip by...? Who are you?"

As he spoke, he realized that the unfamiliar voice must have come from a stranger. And since he was surrounded by his people at night, there was only one reason for the appearance of a stranger.

Turning around, he saw the girl who had appeared behind him at some point. In the moonlight, she resembled a moon fairy, lovely and pure, yet also filled with fear.

"You're taking my things, yet you still ask who I am. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Her slender index finger touched her pink lips in a cute way, and she smiled adorably, but this cute smile sent chills down Malechang's spine.

"Is this yours?"

He finished speaking, and then a dragon's roar was heard. There's a saying, something like, "Listen to the dragon's roar," and that's probably what happened. After the dragon's roar subsided, Ma Lechang turned to look at his subordinates behind him, who were slumped over, surrounded by scattered silver ingots.

"Oh dear, how could you do this? It's all your fault for throwing all my money on the ground. How awful!"

"This... wasn't it you who slapped it away?" Ma Lechang, filled with grief and indignation, wanted to retort to this unreasonable little girl. He was always the one who was unreasonable to others, but today he had actually encountered a little girl who was even more unreasonable than him.

"what's going on."

Perhaps they were startled awake by the dragon's roar, or perhaps Ye Qin'er had woken them up, but the servants also rushed out of the room in a panic.

After the innkeeper exclaimed the name of Ma Lechang in surprise, Lin Xueyi lost interest in these people. What she wanted most now was to get her money back as soon as possible.

"You can handle this yourselves, apprentice. If you don't deal with these people, don't even think about marrying that Yu girl. Don't take this as a threat; I'm just stating the facts."

"The Scorpion Gang, they are known as one of the four major forces in our Rooftop Town, and the strongest of them all."

The innkeeper had already hurried into the lobby. Seeing the young girl slowly walking in, the innkeeper took a deep breath to calm himself before pointing out the people.

Lin Xueyi didn't have much of an impression of the Scorpion Gang. She hadn't seen many members of the Scorpion Gang during this trip. However, judging from the shopkeeper's tone, the Scorpion Gang was probably not a good bunch.

Of course, the person who came to steal her money was definitely not a good person, so Lin Xueyi did not feel any discomfort about what she had done.

Seeing that Lin Xueyi didn't continue talking to him, but instead sat down at the table in the middle of the hall, the innkeeper quickly asked the waiter to fetch a pot of hot water and make her a pot of tea.

"Miss, please have this tea first. We'll just watch from the side."

As for the shopkeeper, he did not want this young girl to show any mercy to the Scorpion Gang, who had been committing crimes in Rooftop Town. If possible, he would be willing to do it for her and wipe out this force that had been causing trouble in Rooftop Town for decades.

Hearing the pitiful wails coming from outside, the innkeeper knew this was his only chance. If he failed, these people would certainly not let his inn go, nor would they let him go. It was less about ridding the people of a scourge and more about saving himself.

"Behold my soaring dragon in the sky."

"Eat my Double Dragons Emerging from the Water."

"And my salted fish spikes."

Lin Xueyi listened with a black line on her forehead to the increasingly embarrassing sounds outside, especially after some strange things were mixed in. She couldn't help but shout out in the hall, her face flushed.

"Can you guys stop being so shameful? Just bring them in already, don't embarrass yourselves in public."

The delicate voice had barely faded when silence fell outside. Soon, the servants dragged in several men with bruised and swollen faces who were unrecognizable.

"Master, all these people are here. Look, isn't this...?"

Zhao Yuxuan, who was suddenly glared at by Lin Xueyi, promptly stopped asking his question. His master's displeased look was already a reminder to him.

At that moment, a figure shot down from the second floor of the inn, his hand about to land on the head of one of the Scorpion Gang members who had lost their human form.

However, Zhao Yuxuan raised his hand to stop him, giving his disciple, who had acted without explanation, a stern look. "If you make a move now, aren't you afraid people will misunderstand that you're trying to silence someone?"

By pointing it out directly, Zhao Yuxuan proved that he did not believe that Yin Tianchou was trying to silence him. However, he was also reminding Yin Tianchou that it would be better to explain his actions first.

"I..."

Yin Tianchou stared fiercely at the man in front of him, whose hands and feet had been beaten into irregular shapes, but in the end, he still didn't offer any explanation.

But who is Lin Xueyi? She was a hardcore otaku who had read all sorts of novels and watched all sorts of anime. If she still couldn't figure something out under these circumstances, she would have to find a rope and hang herself from a tree.

"Alright, let's ask him properly and see what good deeds this man has done."

Emmm, in front of this group of people, she squatted down, pointed left and poked right with her fingers, and then lowered her head for some reason. After a moment of silence, Lin Xueyi couldn't hold back any longer and started yelling at Zhao Yuxuan.

"What have you all done? They've been beaten so badly that even their mothers don't recognize them. How can anyone tell who's who?"

Before Zhao Yuxuan could speak, Yin Tianchou approached a man who was lying crookedly beneath the crowd, deliberately keeping his head down. "Even if he were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize him. Malchang."

"Oh, so this is their gang leader. Malechang, what an awful name." Lin Xueyi picked up a chopstick from the table and poked the man on the ground with his head down.

"Hey, stop playing dead. If you really die, I'll throw you into the doghouse and feed you to the dogs, you hear me?"

This... Is this even a little girl? Aren't little girls supposed to be adorable angels? How come this one is such a devil?

"Aren't you going to get up? Oh, right, these people are pressing you down, so you can't get up. Otherwise, I'll have someone throw those people pressing you down into the doghouse and feed them to the dogs."
