At the end of the month, only a small silver hook hung in the night sky.
At midnight, the Dusk Drum sounded, and the curfew began. The few people on the streets were already gone.
Soon, every household began to extinguish their lights, and Luoyang gradually fell into darkness.
Ankang Lane in the east of the city.
A sneaky figure sneaked into an alley and arrived in front of a run-down courtyard. He reached out and knocked on the door in a regular pattern.
" Deng, Deng."
Three long and two short.
"Who is it?"
A tender voice came from the courtyard.
"It's me."
As the muffled voice fell, a series of flustered footsteps sounded in the courtyard.
Soon, the courtyard door creaked open from the inside. A small head poked out. When it saw the person, it quickly shrank back in fear and made way for the door. After the person entered, it closed the courtyard door.
At the corner of the alley, Xu Fengyu patted Zhu Qi Qi's shoulder and pointed to a roof. His figure flashed up.。
Zhu Qiqi hurriedly caught up.
There was a pile of firewood in the courtyard. Through the light, Xu Fengyu could see the whole picture clearly.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties with an ordinary face. He wore an ordinary brown robe.
Beside the bonfire on the opposite side, there were more than ten little beggars with missing arms and legs. Their clothes were tattered and they were huddled together in a somewhat uneasy manner. The little beggar standing in the lead was the one who had opened the door just now.
There was a broken iron pot in the fire. The pot made a "tutu" sound and a faint rancid smell floated out.
The middle-aged man frowned, stretched out his hand, and asked," How much did you ask for today?”
The little beggar hurriedly took out a tattered bag from his bosom and handed it over with both hands. He said softly," That pretty sister came today and gave me some copper coins and silver. It's all in here."”
"Yes!"
The middle-aged man nodded." It's indeed a lot."”
Then, he poured the money into his palm and picked up a few copper coins from it. He threw them back to the little beggar along with the torn bag and smiled." You did well today. These few copper coins are for you."”
After saying that, he put the money in his hand into his pocket and turned around to leave under the little beggar's weak thanks.
The door closed.
When the middle-aged man walked to the entrance of the alley, Xu Fengyu was about to get up and chase after him when he heard the sound of teeth grinding.
Turning his head, he saw Zhu Qiqi staring at the entrance of the alley, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
He comforted her in a low voice,"Don't worry, we won't let him off. Let's follow him first and see if he has any accomplices."”
"Yes!"
Zhu Qiqi turned her head to look at the little child beggars in the courtyard and replied softly.
The two of them quickly chased after him.
The middle-aged man evaded his way through several streets and alleys before entering a small shop.
The lights in the shop were on. Xu Fengyu jumped onto the roof of the shop and gently lifted a piece of green tile to look inside.
Zhu Qi Qi couldn't see it and could only listen by Xu Fengyu's ear.
The faint fragrance assailed his nostrils, making Xu Fengyu's heart itch.
After the middle-aged man entered the room, a flirtatious middle-aged woman came out.
Listening to the two of them ramble for a long time, he did not hear anything useful. He only knew that the middle-aged man's surname was Li and he was an elder who was in charge of collecting money. The middle-aged woman was called Third Aunt and always sold people.
Xu Fengyu saw through their cultivation at a glance. One was at the early stage of the Connate Realm, and the other was at the middle stage of the Connate Realm.
After listening for a while longer, he lost his patience and gestured to Zhu Qiqi, indicating for her to stay on the roof and not move. Then, he jumped onto the ground.
"Thump thump thump…"
After landing, Xu Fengyu did not use violence. Instead, he knocked on the door politely.
"Who is it?"
A flirtatious voice rang out. The person who asked was that Third Aunt.
Xu Fengyu pinched his throat and replied," It's me, Third Aunt. I'm Xiao Xu."”
"Xiao Xu?"
Third Aunt's puzzled voice sounded in the room.
Perhaps it was because of the boldness of a skilled person, after a series of shuffling footsteps, the door was pulled open, and a woman in a thick dress poked out half of her fat body.
"Sunflower Acupoint Pressing Hand!"
Xu Fengyu shouted in his heart and attacked like lightning.
Before the woman called Third Aunt could react, he pressed on the acupuncture point on her chest and kicked her dantian, instantly crippling her.
Her voluptuous body flew back into the room.
"Third Aunt!"
The middle-aged Elder Li cried out in alarm and caught him in a flash.
When she looked up again, she saw Xu Fengyu slowly walking in from the door.
He did not dare to be careless. He put down his aunt and stood up. He held the bamboo rod in his hand and clenched his fingers tightly. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead as he focused on the situation.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, trash doesn't deserve to know my name.”
Xu Fengyu sneered. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He used his movement technique and waved his palm to greet him.
In an instant, several afterimages mixed with sharp palm winds surrounded him.
Elder Li could only see the flowers in front of him and could not tell which one was the real one at all. He could only wave his bamboo rod around.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to beat dogs with the rod, and when he swung the rod, he revealed his flaws.
Xu Fengyu didn't even bother to draw his saber to capture such a low-level monster. When his staff missed, Xu Fengyu turned his palms into claws and grabbed his shoulders. With a crack, Xu Fengyu removed his arms and pressed his fingers on the acupoints all over his body.
Elder Li was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat. His mouth was wide open, but he could not make a single sound.
Xu Fengyu clapped his hands.
It was time to call it a day!
He raised his head and called out to the roof," Come down!”
Zhu Qi Qi's figure appeared very quickly. She stared at Xu Fengyu and was so excited that she couldn't control herself. The battle just now, she saw it clearly from the roof.
At this moment, there were only two words left in her mind: Worship!
