"Something's not right with their posture."

"I didn't see them use their light body technique."

Old Yan spoke honestly, his face calm and composed.

"But..."

"If the young master needs it, I can take him down first!"

Zhao Kongchuang, who had retreated to the corner, remained silent. His gaze flickered, his expression uncertain.

If it were a few days ago...

He wouldn't have considered so much and would have already given the order.

But the ghost servant disappeared after being injured.

The entire patrol team had been rotated, but they didn't find any suspicious targets. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Zhao Kongchuang, stimulating him to regain his clarity.

It made him understand that brute force wouldn't work in finding the person who stole the secret manual.

"If it's him, then that would be best."

"But what if it's not? We would be alerting the enemy."

"In that case..."

A fierce light flashed in Zhao Kongchuang's eyes as he spoke in a low voice, "Let Pang Qianding take action. Find any excuse to force this Chen person to use his light body technique!"

"Understood!"

Old Yan responded in a deep voice.

"Just in case, let's leave first."

Without looking at Chen Wuji, Zhao Kongchuang turned around and walked away.

Old Yan followed closely behind.

...

"Ah!"

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

"I am the young leader of the Qingye Gang, my father is..."

Bang bang bang!

Screams, exclamations, and muffled sounds suddenly came from the street corner.

They saw Wu Qingzhou and his men, who were trying to escape, being intercepted by a group of Martial Masters who were few in number but strong in skill. They were beaten down.

The arriving constables stood by and didn't dare to intervene.

Facing a formidable enemy, Wu Qingzhou, the young gang leader, could only withstand two moves before his arms were held down and he was forced to kneel on the ground, screaming in fear.

Chen Wuji, who was about to take a step forward, stopped immediately upon seeing this.

Standing in place, he watched as a big man led a young man and woman, who were running quickly, out of the group of Martial Masters.

"Yiyi!"

"Yiyi, you're okay, that's great!"

The young man and woman sprinted over and reached the stunned girl, their faces filled with joy.

The woman even hugged the girl tightly, crying tears of happiness.

"Uh..."

Chen Yifan, who was about to walk over, stopped in his tracks and scratched his head. "Does she have relatives or friends? Her name is Yiyi? It sounds nice."

"So, you didn't even know the other person's name and still decided to provoke the Qingye Gang, almost getting your hands and feet chopped off?" Chen Wuji said calmly.

"Well..." Chen Yifan's body stiffened, feeling embarrassed. "I didn't think about it at the time."

Chen Wuji glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

Chen Yifan had a more impulsive temperament and liked to stand up for justice.

Because of this, he had been reprimanded by the original owner several times, which made it difficult for him to raise his loyalty.

The outcome of this conflict was relatively good, as they only provoked the Qingye Gang.

The girl at the center of the conflict also had a complicated background.

While the two were talking, the big man leading the group had already walked up to Chen Wuji.

With two steps between them, he clasped his fists and saluted, "Zhang Keyan, I've seen Master Chen! Thank you, Master Chen, for helping us. And thank you, little brother Chen, for saving Yiyi in time!"

"Master Chen, rest assured, the trouble caused by the two of us will be quickly resolved by the Zhang family, and there will be no future troubles."

"The thank-you gift for little brother Chen is already being prepared and will be delivered to your residence early tomorrow morning."

"No need, no need." Chen Yifan waved his hand subconsciously after hearing this. "I just couldn't stand by and didn't expect anything in return."

"But, Zhang Keyan? Are you from the Zhang family? Is her name Zhang Yiyi?" Chen Yifan looked at the dazed girl.

"Yes." Zhang Keyan smiled. "Yiyi is my eldest brother's only daughter. She had a childhood illness that affected her brain, making her a bit unclear and slow in her reactions."

"For these years, she has been staying at home and rarely goes out."

"She only came out today because her aunt insisted on visiting, and she got separated from us in the crowd."

"If it weren't for little brother Chen..."

Zhang Keyan didn't finish his sentence, but his face was filled with lingering fear.

Chen Yifan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"... " Chen Wuji glanced at his foolish disciple and remained silent. He calmly said, "We must eliminate all future troubles, but before that, this Wu Qingzhou who just shouted that he wanted to kill me can be killed first."

Zhang Keyan was taken aback.

In the next moment, he regained his senses and scanned the scene. He looked at the pieces of Zhong Daoniu's body and nodded, "Alright!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Wu Qingzhou.

As he walked, he made a few gestures towards the people he had brought.

Immediately, several Martial Masters walked out and led the group, pulling a few constables who were standing aside, and left with laughter.

Zhang Keyan came to Wu Qingzhou's front, stretched out his hand, and twisted his neck 180 degrees, causing his entire face to turn to the back.

Dead beyond death!

"Good~" Chen Yifan whispered in approval, clenching his fists.

"... These corpses, please have Brother Zhang clean them up as well," Chen Wuji pointed at Zhong Daoniu and the other two dead men on the street.

"Of course," Zhang Keyan withdrew his hand, turned around, and smiled in response.

Chen Wuji nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned and walked towards home.

"Master, wait for me!" Chen Yifan grinned at Zhang Keyan, then glanced at Zhang Yiyi, and turned to chase after Chen Wuji.

The two returned to the Chen Family courtyard.

"Follow me."

As soon as they entered the gate, Chen Wuji calmly spoke and headed straight for the study.

Chen Yifan lowered his head and silently followed behind.

Once inside the study, Chen Wuji sat down, picked up the warm tea, and took a sip.

Plop!

Before Chen Wuji could speak, Chen Yifan immediately knelt down, bowed his head, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again."

"... Saving people in danger is not wrong," Chen Wuji calmly said, "What's wrong is that your strength is not strong enough. If you were at the Body Refining Fifth Layer now, what fear would you have of those who are chasing you?"

"Ah?" Chen Yifan looked up, somewhat dazed, at Chen Wuji.

"The strongest among those who are chasing you is at the Body Refining Fourth Layer," Chen Wuji continued with a calm expression, "Whether you do good or evil, strength is the foundation of everything."

"If your strength is lacking and you intervene in other people's affairs, then you must be prepared to be beaten, or even killed!"

Chen Yifan lowered his head.

"That's enough," Chen Wuji didn't say much, waved his hand, and said, "I won't deduct your monthly allowance this time. Instead, you are forbidden to leave the house for three months."

"Yes!" Chen Yifan lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice.

"You may leave now." Chen Wuji raised his hand.

Chen Yifan didn't say a word, stood up, and retreated with his head down.

Chen Wuji took another sip of tea, then opened the panel to check his disciple's information.
