Chapter 249 Encounter an Acquaintance in the Ghost Market

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and glanced at the wooden plank under the man's foot, his eyebrows creasing almost imperceptibly.

"Wipe the plank clean and then, get lost!" A voice as casual as if making idle chat resonated in their ears.

The man's eyebrows shot up as he cursed, "Damn, quite the temper, huh?"

With that, the man stomped forcefully on the wooden plank several times, his face full of provocation as he looked at Li Xiaoyao.

"You're a mere street vendor, what are you trying to act all high and mighty for?" After cursing, the man turned to Yao Yao beside him with a look of pride and asked, "Yao Yao, how do you want to deal with him?"

Yao Yao waved her hand dismissively and said, "Just give him a random beating."

"That's too easy on him, but since you say so, Yao Yao, I will just teach him a lesson casually." The man was full of bluster, his eyes disdainful, "Kid, you dare to bully Yao Yao. Today, you'll realize that Wei Ziwen's woman is not someone just anyone can bully."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Wei Ziwen's eyes. He kicked towards Li Xiaoyao's chin, bringing a whistling sound through the air.

Wei Ziwen was only twenty-six and had already reached the peak of Qi Cultivation Mirror, earning him the title of a prodigy without exaggeration.

If this kick connected with Li Xiaoyao, it would likely knock him out on the spot.

"Wei Ziwen, what are you doing? Stop at once!"

A slightly angry rebuke came from the side, and as the voice sounded, a graceful figure appeared like a ghost, rapidly approaching and gently striking at Wei Ziwen's lower leg with a palm.

Wei Ziwen retreated several steps before he was able to stabilize himself.

Recognizing the woman who had blocked his attack, Wei Ziwen's eyes lit up immediately.

"So it's Miss Lin," Wei Ziwen chuckled a few times, his eyes roaming over her, "I'm disciplining a beggar here, does Miss Lin really need to interfere?"

The woman was named Lin Shiyun, young and beautiful, like a Heavenly Immortal, with a transcendent aura about her.

Lin Shiyun stood in front of Li Xiaoyao, her pretty face covered with a layer of frost, "The 'beggar' you mentioned is my friend."

Wei Ziwen's smile stiffened, his disbelief apparent, "Your friend? Since when did Miss Lin's tastes become so low?"

Behind her, Li Xiaoyao, hearing Lin Shiyun's words, was also surprised.

This woman who had suddenly appeared, did she actually know him?

"It's none of your business to comment on my tastes. Leave immediately, or else don't blame me for being ruthless," Lin Shiyun spoke while her right hand swept over her Storage Ring, and a slender, flexible sword appeared in her grasp.

A hint of wariness rose on Wei Ziwen's face, "Since he is a friend of Miss Lin's, I'll let him off today." Turning to Yao Yao, he said, "Let's go."

Yao Yao's face showed some displeasure as she glared at Li Xiaoyao hatefully, "Just a good-for-nothing who can only hide behind a woman."

Li Xiaoyao looked at Yao Yao coldly and said, "If you were a man, you'd be lying on the ground right now."

Wei Ziwen scoffed, "You only talk big to a woman. Why weren't you this bold when I made my move just now?"

Li Xiaoyao raised his eyes, "If it hadn't been for this woman intervening, you would already be lying on the ground."

"Today you have Lin Shiyun to protect you, so you can say whatever you want, but don't worry, I will always find an opportunity to make my move," Wei Ziwen said ominously.

After speaking, Wei Ziwen turned and left with Yao Yao and the others.

Li Xiaoyao internally regretted, if it hadn't been for Lin Shiyun's sudden interruption, he would have already made his move and laid them all flat on the ground.

Lin Shiyun turned around, looked at Li Xiaoyao, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Li Xiaoyao met her gaze and asked, "Do you know me?"

Lin Shiyun replied, "Someone asked me to take action, that's all."

"Who?"

Lin Shiyun did not answer, but instead looked deeply at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Without strength, don't stir up trouble. If I hadn't acted today, you would have been seriously injured by now. Until you have strong power, it's better to keep a low profile."

After speaking, Lin Shiyun turned and left.

Li Xiaoyao watched the woman's retreating figure and shook his head to himself.

Do all the women these days have such a high opinion of themselves?

But Li Xiaoyao was still curious about who had hired this woman to take action.

A strand of his consciousness followed the woman, enveloping her body, witnessing every move as if right before his eyes.

Under the follow of his consciousness, the woman's delicate features became vivid in his sight.

Even by Li Xiaoyao's critical standards, he had to admit that Lin Shiyun was an extremely beautiful woman.

Lin Shiyun reached the end of the street and turned into a teahouse, heading to a private room on the second floor.

"Shiyun sister, how did it go?" As soon as Lin Shiyun entered, a woman, who in terms of looks and figure was no less than her, came forward anxiously to ask.

Under the envelopment of his consciousness, this woman's image was clearly presented to Li Xiaoyao's eyes.

"It's her!"

Li Xiaoyao found it somewhat unbelievable.

This woman was actually Lin Yuanyuan.

Lin Yuanyuan and Lin Shiyun, both surnamed Lin... it seemed the Lin Family was quite extraordinary.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and withdrew his consciousness.

Experience new stories on empire

Encountering Lin Yuanyuan here was indeed a pleasant surprise, but since Lin Yuanyuan had not appeared of her own accord, naturally, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't seek her out.

Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and swept away the dust on the wooden plank, then closed his eyes to rest.

In the teahouse.

Lin Yuanyuan pulled Lin Shiyun to sit by the window and personally poured a cup of tea for her, her face alight with a flattering smile that differed greatly from her usual demeanor.

If Li Xiaoyao were here, he would surely be shocked.

Lin Shiyun shook her head helplessly and asked, "Yuanyuan, tell me honestly, do you like that man?"

Lin Yuanyuan's cheeks flushed with a hint of red, as she lowered her eyebrows and dodged the question with her gaze, "I don't like that big bad guy at all."

Seeing her expression and tone, Lin Shiyun instantly understood that her cousin truly liked that man.

"Yuanyuan, although I haven't had much contact with that man, I feel that the two of you are not very suitable," Lin Shiyun said, recalling the words Li Xiaoyao had just said to Wei Ziwen, and couldn't help but secretly shake her head.

She didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Li Xiaoyao, which indicated that he was at best a martial artist and that his cultivation level wasn't very high.

In Lin Shiyun's view, if it hadn't been for her intervention just now, Li Xiaoyao would have been knocked to the ground and seriously injured by Wei Ziwen.

And his tough stance against Wei Ziwen thereafter was likely only because she was present that he dared to say those words.

A person without powerful strength, yet aspiring to do great things, is undoubtedly laughable to others.

And to Lin Shiyun, Li Xiaoyao was just such a laughable man.

Lin Yuanyuan was an excellent girl, pursued by many young men from large families. With Lin Yuanyuan's qualities, finding a top-notch man shouldn't be too difficult at all.

But for some reason, her outstanding cousin took a liking to a man who liked to boast.

Lin Shiyun felt it was necessary to give her a reminder.
