2990 Bad Intentions
Feng Jiu looked at the people who had fallen to the ground and said to Elder Mei: “I couldn’t tell that you were a merciful person.”
“Haha, actually I just felt that they didn’t pose any threat to us, so it was enough to teach them a lesson.” Elder Mei laughed. While he spoke, he saw that Feng Jiu had stepped forward, then bent over and squatted down and picked up the belongings of those people.
When he saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: “You are so wealthy, why are you still robbing them?”
“These people were planning to rob the items I bought from the auction and attack me. We are letting them off too easily if we only knock them unconscious. Besides, haven’t you heard of the phrase “to suffer financial losses in order to avert disasters?” Feng Jiu said with normal expression while she looted through the belongings of the unconscious people and put them into space.
Elder Mei pouted and said in a low voice: “In my opinion, you come from a background of bandits.”
Feng Jiu smiled lightly: “Collecting things is my hobby, and I won’t be polite especially to those who offend me.” Her voice paused, then she glanced at him meaningfully: “So you better not have any bad intentions, otherwise, you won’t be able to avert disaster by just suffering financial losses.”
Elder Mei’s heart skipped a beat, then he stroked his beard and smiled: “What bad intentions could I have? Don’t overthink things, I’m very honest!” Just as he was speaking, he heard a burst of footsteps coming towards them quickly. When he turned his head slightly and looked towards the direction of the city gate, he saw thirty or forty cultivators coming towards them quickly.
“Look, they aren’t coming for us are they?” Elder Mei blinked and asked.
“What do you think?” Feng Jiu said leisurely and glanced at those people.
“When you told me to take a look earlier, did you mean this? You knew that they would send reinforcements?”
Elder Mei frowned and looked at those people and felt that human nature was really fickle. He had spared their lives so that they could leave. He hadn’t expected them to gather reinforcements to besiege them once again. It’s been many years since he had come into the world, had the world become like this?
At this time, Feng Jiu was already sitting on the outside of the spirit deer carriage, and she looked at those people as if she weren’t worried about being besieged. That was because even without taking into account her strength, Elder Mei’s strength alone was enough to deal with those people.
Those people had brought reinforcements back in such a short period of time, so she guessed that they hadn’t obtained the permission of those above who had given them the orders. Otherwise, why would they do such a stupid thing without enquiring first?”
Tan Haotian wanted to cooperate with her, and said that he could make her reputation as a Venerable Rank Alchemist known to the outside world. But to her, it didn’t matter whether she was famous or not, the most important thing was that she could protect who she wanted to protect, and she was able to do what she wanted to do.
Ever since they had descended from the Immortal Ascension Ladder and came here, the process had been high-profile so as to gain a firm foothold in Cardinal Point City quickly. Now, in less than a month, all the forces in the city had a certain understanding of them and didn’t dare to offend them easily. At least she knew that she could live and cultivate in Cardinal Point City and no one would dare to do anything to them.
It was only these people who had come from out of town that didn’t know the situation and were sending themselves to death’s door. She didn’t think of herself as a good person, and she had never been merciful to those who had offended her again and again.
“It’s her! She was the one who won and bought the blood jade ginseng at the auction.” A man pointed at Feng Jiu as he spoke to an older man. However, when his eyes met Elder Mei, there was still a trace of fear in them.
