Translator: Silavin After Qin Yichen had just left with the young woman and the old man, those guards did not foolishly carry their Young Advisor Wu back. Instead, they fled in a panic. A quarter of an hour later, the Jade Creek City guards arrived at this inn. When they saw the Wu Family’s Young Master who had already fainted on the ground, curled up in a ball, and occasionally twitched, the faces of the guards all changed dramatically. “Such audacity! Who injured the Wu Family’s Young Master?” After two guards lifted up the Wu Family’s Young Master, a person who appeared to be the captain angrily shouted at the crowd, who were still watching the commotion in the inn. Faced with his gaze, the onlookers were afraid of getting involved and sheepishly shrank back, not daring to respond. “Surround them all! Zhang Qi, go quickly and notify Advisor Wu!” Seeing everyone’s demeanour, the captain waved his hand and ordered. After that, more than ten guards surrounded the inn. Seeing their actions, the people who were originally still watching the commotion in the inn now had dramatic changes in their expressions, and they regretted staying. At this point, even if they wanted to leave, they could not escape. In just a moment, a middle-aged man holding a feather fan, dressed in elegant robes, looking like an advisor, rushed over in a flurry. When they saw this middle-aged man, fear flashed through many people’s eyes. This person was the right-hand man of the City Lord, Advisor Wu Fan! Although his cultivation was not high, and he had no talent in Spiritual Energy, his mind was full of schemes. He was deeply valued and trusted by the City Lord. He might not have much strength, but anyone who had provoked him had silently disappeared from Jade Creek City. Over time, everyone in Jade Creek City was shocked and afraid of this Advisor! “Qi’er!” Seeing the young man placed on a stretcher, with a pale face, curled up in a ball, Wu Fan’s eyes burst with disbelief. Then, he took three steps in one and came to the stretcher. Upon approaching, a smell of blood and urine came over, causing his face to change again. When he saw the bloodstain on the other’s crotch, his face completely darkened. “Who did this!?” The gloomy words slowly came out of Wu Fan’s mouth. In this sentence, even a fool could hear the anger within. Under Advisor Wu’s rage, the crowd in the inn could not help but shrink back, afraid that he would notice them. “Sir, please spare us, this matter has nothing to do with us…” At this time, the innkeeper hurriedly ran out, knelt down and repeatedly kowtowed to apologise. He did not dare to conceal anything and recounted the entire incident. When he heard that it was a strange young man who scattered the guards protecting his Son with just his presence, Wu Fan’s expression became grave. Being valued by the City Lord, he was naturally not a reckless person. “No matter who you are, daring to cripple my Son! I will make sure you don’t leave Jade Creek City alive!” Wu Fan took a deep breath, then handed a token to a guard. After giving a few instructions to this guard, he led the other guards and angrily headed towards the edge of Jade Creek City. Those people in the inn were also pushed by the guards to follow behind. … At the edge of Jade Creek City in the commoner district, in front of a small hut. Qin Yichen looked at the old man and the young woman slowly walking out, carrying their belongings. “Benefactor, thank you for saving our lives today. Otherwise, Qiao Yun might have…” The old man was carrying an Erhu. On him were a bundle of other miscellaneous items. He was gratefully thanking Qin Yichen. Behind him, the young woman called Qiao Yun also looked gratefully at Qin Yichen. “Elder, you don’t need to leave this place.” Qin Yichen shook his head and said. “Sigh… Benefactor, you don’t understand. That Wu Family’s Young Master commits all kinds of evil. It is just that because Advisor Wu supports him, no one dares to provoke him. Today, although you saved us, if we don’t leave Jade Creek City, Advisor Wu won’t let us go.” The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. As an ordinary man, how could he afford to provoke the Advisor of the City Lord? Qin Yichen shook his head slightly and did not say much more. Indeed, even if he could protect them for a while, as soon as he left, they would immediately be tortured to death by Advisor Wu. “Elder, may I ask you something?” Qin Yichen paused and said. “Benefactor, if you have any instructions, just tell me.” The old man looked anxiously into the distance, speaking urgently to Qin Yichen. Qin Yichen nodded and turned his gaze to the zither that the young girl was holding beside the old man. “I wonder where you got this zither from?” Qin Yichen pointed to the bamboo zither that Qiao Yun was holding and asked. When Qin Yichen asked about this zither, the expressions of both the old man and Qiao Yun had subtle changes, and all of this was seen clearly by Qin Yichen. “Elder, don’t worry, I just think this zither is well-made and want to meet the person who made it. I’m not trying to take your zither.” Qin Yichen smiled and said. “Benefactor, if you like it, please take this bamboo zither.” However, contrary to Qin Yichen’s expectations, after the old man’s face showed struggle, he actually proposed to Qin Yichen take it! The young woman, Qiao Yun, bit her rosy lips, with reluctance in her eyes. Her jade arms holding the zither tightened a bit, but she also did not refuse. “Benefactor, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but I’m afraid that even if I tell you, you might not be able to meet him…” The old man paused, sighed, and said. Hearing the old man say this, Qin Yichen was somewhat certain in his heart that the maker of this bamboo zither must have some connection with the Gongshu Clan. “Hmm?” Just as Qin Yichen was about to inquire further, his brows suddenly furrowed because he sensed that from the distant street, there seemed to be sounds of commotion arising, and the direction of that commotion seemed to be heading their way. “Benefactor, what’s wrong?” The old man naturally did not have Qin Yichen’s keen perception. Seeing the latter’s expression, he asked with some confusion. “Just a few small fries coming.” Qin Yichen shook his head and said calmly. “Small fries?” The old man was stunned, and then his face suddenly changed because at this moment, a group of people had appeared at the end of his vision. At the forefront of that group, there was an elegant figure, a figure that was extremely familiar to him because it was a nightmare that ordinary citizens absolutely dared not provoke! “Advisor Wu!” When he saw that figure, the old man’s face turned pale, and his body could not help but retreat several steps, falling on his buttocks.
