After being reminded by Lin Xueyi, Ye Qin'er also thought of this point. As long as Zhao Yuxuan was around, Lin Xueyi and the Zhao family would definitely have a relationship. This relationship would naturally be a protective umbrella for the Zhao family. As long as they didn't go too far, those Jianghu forces would naturally stop causing trouble for the Zhao family.

"Wow, it really can breathe fire! Is it that amazing?"

Lin Xueyi's excited shouts and the ensuing applause interrupted Ye Qin'er's thoughts. Turning her head, she saw that the girl was already watching the fire-breathing juggler on the other side, and she couldn't help but shake her head.

She's still just a young girl, but she's quite perceptive, even more so than I am. However, even if it's money from the Zhao family, it shouldn't be used so casually.

"Sister Qin'er, how about we go check out other places? I think there are quite a few fun places over there."

As for snacks, they no longer held the same appeal for Lin Xueyi as before. This was mainly because the Zhao family had prepared plenty of snacks for her at home, but she couldn't find as many fun acrobatic performances at the Zhao family's house.

Having been cooped up for so long, Lin Xueyi naturally wanted to have some fun first, so she pulled Ye Qin'er along and prepared to continue walking deeper into the street.

However, before she had gone far, she heard a shrill cry for help coming from the spot where the large rock had been broken on her chest.

Judging from the voice, it sounds like that little girl. Lin Xueyi looked up at Ye Qin'er, "That was that little girl's voice just now, wasn't it?"

Is it really okay for a little girl to call a girl of similar age "little girl"? No, it's not. But this isn't the time to complain about these things. Ye Qin'er naturally heard it clearly, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

"Indeed, something might have happened over there." Ye Qin'er actually understood that this incident was likely caused by those ten taels of silver. That was a huge sum of money, not only for this family, but also for some people who mingled in the gray area. It would be strange if it didn't attract covetous eyes.

"Young lady, you've been setting up your stall here for quite some time now, it's time to pay your protection fee."

His thuggish tone and expression were quite obvious, but he was indeed much more muscular than the average person, and his presence alone was intimidating.

Li Hao, the leader of the Obsidian Gang who mainly controls this street, usually collects protection money from these street performers and acrobats, and the amount is usually quite substantial. Today, on a whim, he came here for a stroll and was surprised to see a little girl give this stall ten taels of silver. This is no small amount, and the fact that the family didn't even think to give him the money as a token of respect made him very unhappy.

"What? Your whole family eats and lives here under the protection of our Obsidian Gang. Do you think it's a loss for you to pay a little protection money? Xiao Liu, you calculate for them how much they should pay."

"Alright, Chief, listen up. The total comes to exactly ten taels of silver, including the site fee, protection fee, lodging fee, garbage collection fee, food fee, water fee, tax and communication fee, temporary entry fee, and some miscellaneous fees."

The skinny man, nicknamed Xiao Liu, who was as thin as a monkey, took out an abacus from his waist and rattled off a bunch of random fees in front of everyone. The result was exactly what everyone expected: this group of people clearly had their eyes on the ten taels of silver.

Li Hao, who was extremely satisfied with Xiao Liu's calculation method, nodded with a smile and then looked at the money pouch at the little girl's waist.

"Little girl, you should thank your uncle. If it weren't for me protecting you, you would have been sold to a brothel by human traffickers long ago. You understand? Give your purse to your uncle, and I can protect you again in the future."

Clutching her money pouch tightly, the nervous little girl looked at her parents and brother. They had only been performing here for a few days; why should they have to hand over so much money? Besides, none of the other performers around them had ever handed over this much money. This person was clearly bullying them.

The young man, the one who had swung the sledgehammer to smash the stone, was about to speak when his father stopped him. He took a deep breath and untied the money pouch from his daughter's waist.

Seeing that these people had given in, Li Hao was extremely pleased. Ten taels of silver, being able to earn ten taels of silver in a day was something he rarely encountered.

Li Hao, who was about to take the money bag from the unwilling middle-aged man, said with great joy.

"I love it when you guys are like this, clearly not wanting to give but having no choice. Hahaha."

"So, do you even know who gave them this money?"

A very soft and gentle voice came from the crowd. Li Hao shouted "Who goes there?" before looking in the direction of the voice.

A tiny little girl was already standing outside the crowd. Although several kind people were trying to pull her away, the little girl still looked fearless. No, she looked more like she was mocking them.

Ha, it seems that Li's reputation on this street is not enough, otherwise why would such an ignorant and fearless little girl dare to provoke him?

"Oh dear, little girl, that's the leader of the Obsidian Gang. They have a lot of influence on this street, and you can't afford to mess with them. You'd better leave now."

"Tsk tsk tsk, little girl, where do you live? I don't remember you at all. You're not from out of town, are you?"

Li Hao glared fiercely at the people who dared to secretly pull the little girl aside. He remained calm. He could not say he knew the names of the powerful families he could not afford to offend by heart, but he recognized most of them. This little girl was really not from any famous or well-known family.

However, to avoid really offending someone he shouldn't, he still felt it necessary to ask more carefully. Didn't he see that there was another woman next to her who was obviously a member of the martial arts world?

As for Lin Xueyi, dressed in a jade-green dress, she really doesn't look like a female knight-errant wandering the world; she looks more like an innocent and carefree child.

"You're from out of town, you just arrived yesterday. What, do you think you can just take the money I gave you?"

Wow, he actually found the person in question! He was thinking about whether he could find an opportunity to meet this person, who was so rich, and perhaps give her some more money if possible. He never expected that she would appear just as he was thinking this.

And she's just a little girl. Although the woman next to her gives off a very intimidating vibe, so what? Two fists can't fight four hands. There are so many of them, why would they be afraid of a little woman? Besides, even if things don't go well, he has powerful backers. When the time comes, he can find someone, and these two women might even become gifts for that important person.

"You're new from out of town, aren't you? So rich, aren't you afraid of being bullied? Just give us a few hundred taels of silver, and we'll make sure you can walk all over Luo Xie City like a hog."

Seeing Lin Xueyi's disgusted expression, Li Hao felt his anger rising, but he still said, "Don't disbelieve me, let me tell you, Feng Linyang, the young head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) of Zhaoyuan镖局 (Zhaoyuan Escort Agency), is also very close to us. Do you know Zhaoyuan镖局 (Zhaoyuan Escort Agency)? That's..."

"Xueyi, Zhaoyuan Escort Agency is one of the major forces in Luoxie City, and it is also a well-known escort agency in Qingzhou. It is said to be very famous among the bandits."

Before Li Hao could explain things to Lin Xueyi, Ye Qin'er told Lin Xueyi about some things concerning the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency. However, in her eyes, the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was really nothing, at least in front of this grandmaster, it was just easy prey.

"That sounds pretty impressive. Are there any experts inside, like that Master Meng from before?"

Ye Qin'er fell silent. Did this girl have some misunderstanding about the martial arts world? Mondley was already considered one of the most elite figures in the martial arts world, so in her eyes, this was what constituted a master? What exactly did she mean by a master?

Seeing Ye Qin'er's expression, Lin Xueyi scratched her head, indicating that she didn't quite understand. This person couldn't even beat Mondley, yet he dared to call himself an expert?

"Xueyi, in ordinary places, it's already quite good to reach the Day after tomorrow level. Being able to enter the Innate level is already one in a million. Someone like Master Meng is practically one in a million."

"Oh, okay, so you're saying this Zhaoyuan Escort Agency is basically a bunch of useless trash, not even as good as Master Meng, and they still have the nerve to say they'll protect me? Ha..."

As the two women continued their conversation, Li Hao became increasingly convinced that they were definitely out of their minds. Everyone in Luoxie City knew what kind of organization the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was.

Putting aside everything else, the head镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) alone are already renowned masters at the peak of the Acquired Realm in the martial arts world, not to mention that the chief镖师 (bodyguard/escort) Feng Kenan is a master at the Innate Realm.

However, these people don't seem to have anything to fear from Lin Xueyi, a grandmaster. If they really want to cause trouble, they'll just be easy prey.

Lin Xueyi tilted her head, she really had no idea about any of this. Although she had been walking for so long, what she was still thinking about was what Ruoxue had said before, that there were quite a few people with similar cultivation levels to her.

I always felt that a master should be someone like Ruoxue or Mondley, so changing such a deeply ingrained mindset would require a complete overturn, which is quite difficult.

"Are you done talking? This Zhaoyuan Escort Agency has a master of innate level in charge. So what if you have a sect? Do you think you can cause trouble for the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency in Luoxie City? Ha, even the Zhao family and the Sun family don't have that kind of guts."

Li Hao held the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency in extremely high regard, partly because the agency's young head镖师 (chief escort) was his backer. However, in Li Hao's eyes, a Xiantian master was already an extremely formidable figure.

It was because of this that he was able to establish a gang in Luoshe City, collect protection money in Zouma Street, and act like a tyrant to the people there.

"Sister Qin'er, these people are getting annoying. Can we kill them?"

Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyi felt that these people deserved divine retribution for not only doing bad things but also causing trouble.

The little girl flexing her wrists is undeniably cute, but what she's about to do is terrifying. Such a young girl, talking about killing someone—is that alright? That's not good.

"I'll do it myself. It's not very respectable for you to do everything yourself. I'll handle this little thing."

Main Text: Chapter 119 The Temperamental Loli Beats People Up Online

Li Hao is the leader of the Obsidian Gang on Zouma Street in Luoxie City. He has just entered the Acquired Realm, which is nothing special in Luoxie City, but to the common people, he is no ordinary expert.

So today he came to the street under his jurisdiction, thinking he would have a good time showing off in front of his underlings and letting them see the power of his newly promoted gang leader.

Of course, this wasn't his first day out, but no one had provoked him before, so he hadn't had the chance to show his presence as a self-taught "master".

Then he realized he was really too tempted. When a ten-tael silver ingot was in front of him, he couldn't control his greed and ended up witnessing what a true master of acquired skills was like.

Ye Qin'er clapped her hands. She originally wanted to stomp on Li Hao's head to make him know where he went wrong, but she didn't because she was worried about her image in front of Lin Xueyi. However, she still habitually kicked Li Hao.

"Next time, make sure your shield is brighter. Not everyone is someone you can afford to mess with."

As for the crowd who were initially worried about the two women, they seemed to have seen a ghost. Li Hao, who was already very strong in their eyes, couldn't even withstand a single move from this woman who seemed to be powerless.

Approaching the middle-aged man holding the money bag, Lin Xueyi took the bag from his rough, large hand, and then went to the little girl whose eyes were already red and whose face showed resentment.

He placed the purse back into her small palm. "Take it. If anyone dares to ask you for it again, just say it was given to you by someone named Lin Xueyi."

She might not know exactly how a master is defined, but she knew she was one, someone most people wouldn't dare mess with. She was quite curious to see who would dare cause her trouble.

"Who...who are you?"

Not only did the silver that was almost in his hands fly away, but he was also beaten up by a strange woman. As for when Lin Xueyi said his name, he naturally didn't hear it. However, even if he did know, he probably wouldn't. After all, the name of a grandmaster is not necessarily known to everyone.

"Who are we? You dare to cause trouble for us if you don't even know who we are?"

Lin Xueyi covered the little girl's eyes to prevent her from seeing the violent scene any longer and said, "Sister, that's enough. You've almost beaten this guy to death."

Lin Xueyi's soft voice led Li Hao to two conclusions: one, this young girl was kind-hearted; and two, the two of them definitely didn't have any powerful backers, otherwise, why would they have let him go?

The idea of ​​judging others by one's own standards can sometimes be quite misleading. For example, judging others by one's own standards can lead to one's own biased thinking.

She gracefully approached the man, whose face was already bruised and swollen. With her small, fair hand, she grabbed his collar and dragged him several steps before stepping on a large rock and lifting him up.

"Remember this, if I ever see you bullying and rigging the market again, I'll break your legs next time."

With her small fist placed on his face, which was already filled with despair, Lin Xueyi watched him nod before finally throwing him to the ground.

"If you have any complaints, come to the Zhao family and find me. I want to see who dares to come."

The voice was still childish, but it was full of disdain for these people. The domineering tone stirred something within the little girl, and she longed to be like them.

As the green figure slowly disappeared into the crowd, the little girl suddenly felt an urge to rush over, but her father stopped her.

"She is not someone you can get close to, but remember her name; she will be someone you keep chasing."

"Yes, thank you, Dad. I understand. I will definitely work hard to become like her, and I will strive to catch up with her and become someone who can stand beside her."

Nodding emphatically, the little girl found a goal to strive for, and that small figure was forever etched into her heart, never to be shaken.

"Hmm... Sister, did I just exude an aura of dominance? Did you see my kingly aura?"

Looking at the excited little girl, Ye Qin'er suddenly felt like teasing her, for example, "Hmm, all green, you really do have a kingly aura."

"Hmm... Why are you criticizing this? Shouldn't this be the kind of thing the readers are criticizing?"

Not knowing what the reader meant, Ye Qin'er didn't dwell on it. Instead, she chuckled and pinched the little girl's chubby cheeks, which were soft and had a wonderful feel to them.

Having finally escaped Ye Qin'er's clutches, Lin Xueyi looked reluctantly at the bustling street now obscured by the crowd and couldn't help but sigh.

"I finally found a fun place, but I had to leave before I could even enjoy it. How annoying."

It wasn't that she was afraid of those thugs, but after this incident, many stalls on Zouma Street chose to leave. They could all see that Li Hao would definitely not let it go, and if they stayed there, they would really become his punching bag.

So they wisely returned to their homes or left the city to their rented courtyards, temporarily avoiding the limelight.

As for Li Hao, just as they expected, he was unwilling to let it go. He had lost face in front of so many people this time. If he didn't get his revenge, how could he continue to live in Luoxie City and collect protection money in Zouma Street?

"You guys, quickly help me up."

Li Hao, who had been thrown to the ground, struggled to raise his hand, hoping that his underlings could help him up. However, he found that his underlings were also staggering and unable to move, let alone stand up.

"You bunch of useless trash, you can't even beat two women."

Seeing that he couldn't rely on anyone else, Li Hao struggled to stand up. Fortunately, the other person found a place with rocks, otherwise he would have had a really hard time getting up.

The underlings, who had been called trash by their boss, silently grumbled, "You were beaten down too, and you still have the nerve to talk about us."

However, they didn't dare say these words out loud; they could only keep them to themselves.

"Hmph, don't... don't think this is over yet. Wait until I get Young Master Feng here, then I'll see if the Zhao family can protect you."
