Shi Yuqing, who had an excited face, turned pale after hearing the scream, let go of Lin Chen's hand, and ran forward crazily.
Lin Chen's brows furrowed and he still stepped out slowly, but followed Shi Yuqing like a shadow.
After turning the intersection, they saw many people surrounding them in front of them.
Through the gap between the crowd, you can see in front of the door of an old house, a man who looks to be in his forties or fifties, lying on the ground groaning in pain, with blood dripping from his head, and the wall behind him is also covered with blood.
Blood.
Next to him, there were a middle-aged woman and a young and beautiful girl, all of whom were frightened and crying loudly, which was unbearable to watch.
"Old guy, I told you to let go, but you didn't listen! You're looking for death, and you can't blame me for that!"
In front of the middle-aged man, there were three people standing. The leader was a young man in luxurious clothes. His slender eyes were full of unruliness and pride.
Seeing the people watching with unbearable eyes and muttering in low voices, the young man's face darkened, his eyes swept over the crowd, and shouted: "Shut up, everyone! Is it possible that any of you dare to interfere with the business of my Taixu Temple?"
Do you also want to die?"
People are so silent that they keep their mouths shut.
Although he hated the young man in Chinese clothes very much, he did not dare to resist at all due to the majesty of the Taixu Temple.
Seeing this, the young man in rich clothes smiled with satisfaction, looked at the girls surrounding the middle-aged man, showed an obscene smile, and snorted: "If you don't want to see your father being beaten to death by me, then come with me quickly.
!”
The girl's face turned pale.
"Big bad guy, if you hit my dad, I'll fight you!"
At this moment, a foot kicked hard on the waist of the young man in Chinese attire, which shocked the young man in Chinese attire.
Shi Yuqing flew up and kicked the young man in Chinese attire. However, the young man in Chinese attire did not move at all. However, she was hit by a counter-shock force that caused severe pain in her right foot. She stepped back and almost sat on the ground.
"Damn girl! You dare to kick me?"
The young man in rich clothes turned to look at Shi Yuqing, furious in his heart, and a little suspicious at the same time. This damn girl was of low strength. How could he not notice her aura just now and be kicked by her?
He didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a moment of carelessness. After scolding, he disappeared from the place and appeared in front of Shi Yuqing in an instant, and slapped Shi Yuqing's face hard.
Boom! He is a Four Infant Saint. Although this slap did not exert much force, it still caused an explosion in the space. If it fell on Shi Yuqing's face, even if Shi Yuqing was not beaten to death, it would definitely
It cost her half her life! "No, don't hit my sister!"
"Qing'er!"
The middle-aged man lying on the ground and the mother and daughter next to him were so frightened that they screamed, their voices sounding like a cuckoo crying for blood.
When Shi Yuqing saw the opponent's slap, she felt that the weight of the whole world was pressing down on her, unable to move. She could only wait for the opponent's slap to hit her face with a pale face.
At this time, a hand stretched out from her side and grabbed the hand of the young man in rich clothes.
"She is still just a child, so there is no need to be so cruel, right?"
Lin Chen lightly grabbed the hand of the young man in fine clothes and said coldly.
The young man in colorful clothes was startled and shouted angrily: "Let go!"
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and the next second he let go of the other party's hand, and said to Shi Yuqing: "Qing'er, give them the Purple Star Grass."
Just now, he was thinking about whether he should teach this young man in fine clothes a lesson, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. It would be easy to deal with this guy himself, but that would leave hidden dangers for Shi Yuqing's family.
Smart move.
Shi Yuqing, as if waking up from a dream, hurriedly took out the purple star grass from inside his clothes, glanced at the purple star grass reluctantly, and then said to the young man in Chinese clothes: "This purple star grass belongs to our family today.
After you take the tribute, you are not allowed to cause trouble to us again!"
The young man in fine clothes was caught by Lin Chen. He felt ashamed and annoyed. If he had known that someone would intervene, he would have used a little more strength just now. This guy would never have been able to catch him! He was about to deal with Lin Chen when he saw Shi Yuqing took out the purple
Xingcao couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the Taixu Temple is domineering and arrogant, according to the rules of the Taixu Temple, as long as the other party pays the full amount of tribute, then you can no longer cause trouble for the other party! "Qing'er, where did you find the Purple Star Grass?
?”
Shi Yuqing's parents and sister were overjoyed, and her sister asked curiously.
Shi Yuqing scratched his head and said, "I told my sister this morning that I was going to play with Xiaolan and the others, but actually I went to the Yuling Mountains outside the city. This purple star grass was found on the Yuling Mountains."
She was afraid that her parents and sister would be angry, so she hurriedly said: "Qing'er knows that it's very dangerous over there, and she wouldn't normally go there."
Shi Yuqing's sister's eyes turned red, she ran to her side, held her in her arms, and said: "Silly Qing'er, don't take any more risks in the future.
What would you do if you encountered a monster?"
When Shi Yuqing saw her sister's eyes were red and her mouth was flat, she also swallowed: "But Qing'er doesn't want my sister to be taken away by bad guys!"
"Si Qing'er, my good sister!"
Shi Yuqing's sister couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. If she was taken away by the three young men in Chinese attire, her life would be over.
The fate of those women who were taken to the Taixu Temple to pay off their debts was to be sold to powerful ascetics, or to be sold to brothels to earn spiritual stones. Either way, their lives would be ruined.
"I'm useless.
It’s all my fault!”
Seeing his two daughters hugging each other and crying, Shi Yuqing's father's eyes were red and he blamed himself extremely.
The people watching were all relieved and happy for Shi Yuqing's family. In any case, if Shi Yuqing's family handed over the Purple Star Grass, then this year's tribute task would be considered completed.
"This purple star grass is not enough!"
After the young man in colorful clothes took the Purple Star Grass over, he sneered.
The faces of Shi Yuqing's family were all stiff, and the people watching were also stunned.
Shi Yuqing's father hurriedly said: "Sir, this Purple Star Grass is worth thousands of high-grade spiritual stones, which is already far beyond the limit. How can it not be enough?"
The young man in colorful clothes put away the Purple Star Grass and sneered: "If it was three days ago, then of course it would be enough.
However, you delayed it for three days, and the amount of spiritual stones you paid as tribute increased 10 times! You need to pay tribute 4,000 high-grade spiritual stones. This purple star grass is only worth thousands of high-grade spiritual stones, which is of course not enough! Unless you can get it immediately.
Give me three thousand high-grade spiritual stones, otherwise, I will still take your daughter away!"
Shi Yuqing's father's face turned pale and he said angrily: "I have never heard of such a rule!"
The face of the young man in gorgeous clothes darkened, and he shouted coldly: "The rules are set by my Taixu Temple. Who do you think you are? Why do we need to tell you in advance! We can't take it out, right?"
If you can’t get it out, then we will take your daughter away now!”
"Arrest people!"
The corners of his mouth curled up and he winked at his two men.
Lin Chen's face became increasingly gloomy, but at this moment, naturally no one paid attention to his face.
