"Who's going to regret what? Eh, Master Wang, what are you doing lying on the ground? Is it fun?" At this moment, a very pleasant voice appeared in the hall, and everyone suddenly discovered a figure had appeared beside Master Wang, with almost no warning of her arrival.

This was a very beautiful young woman who could make the women of Yihong Courtyard pale in comparison, a girl dressed in green robes who gave off a very fresh feeling.

After the green-robed girl appeared, another girl accompanied her. Though this girl appeared slowly, it was only relative to the previous green-robed girl.

From the speed these two girls appeared, they seemed to be peak Emperor Level practitioners, the kind of peak that was only one step away from Saint Level. With their combined strength, Xiaoyao would have little chance of victory.

"Young ladies, it was that kid who did this to me. He's the one who took your Yihong Courtyard. He doesn't put you in his eyes at all, doing this to me right in front of your people. Young ladies, you must help me get justice!" Master Wang immediately began complaining tearfully, instantly painting Xiaoyao as an enemy of the two girls.

"Don't worry. You're working for us now. Whoever dares to do this to you, we'll give them the same fate!" the green-robed girl said coolly, undoubtedly boosting Master Wang's confidence.

"Kid, you're dead! Do you know the consequences of offending me?" Master Wang shouted arrogantly again. Now he had backing, these two young ladies were very strong, even able to challenge Saint Level practitioners. Though only those who had just entered Saint Level, it was enough for the kid before him.

Plus, these two had backgrounds, there were even more terrifying people above them!

...

Master Wang seemed to see Xiaoyao's fate now, that tragic end. His heart was blooming with joy. But the development of events became strange, completely beyond his expectations.

"Oh, I understand!" Xiaoyao walked over and kicked Master Wang again.

"Ah..."

Master Wang screamed, but the physical pain was only momentary, while his confusion lingered. He wasn't surprised why Xiaoyao was so bold as to kick him at this moment, he was just puzzled how this kick succeeded.

Right beside him were those two young ladies, why didn't they stop him?

There was definitely enough time. Xiaoyao's approach and that kick were done at very ordinary speed. Not to mention these two girls who were near Saint Level, even ordinary martial artists could have stopped it. This could only mean one thing, these two girls didn't try to stop Xiaoyao.

Why was this?

Moreover, after Xiaoyao kicked him, he didn't see these two girls make any moves. He only noticed their faces seemed to show traces of bewilderment, as if they were stunned by something unexpected.

"Young ladies, please help me quickly!" Master Wang immediately reminded them. Perhaps they just didn't notice because they were distracted.

"Help you? Help you do what?" the green-robed girl looked at Master Wang and asked with a smile.

"Help me beat this kid, beat him until he's like me." Master Wang said, looking at Xiaoyao.

"Why?" the green-robed girl didn't act, just asked.

This question was too strange! Just now you said you'd help me get justice, said I was your person. Those who beat your people should get the same fate. Why are you asking why now?

"This kid stole your Yihong Courtyard and beat your people. He's too arrogant." Master Wang still spoke up. Though puzzled, perhaps this girl just had a strange personality.

"Oh, I see! Kid, are you arrogant?" the green-robed girl asked Xiaoyao.

"Not at all." Xiaoyao shook his head.

"Did you beat our people?" the green-robed girl asked again.

"No." Xiaoyao continued shaking his head.

"Did you steal our Yihong Courtyard?" the green-robed girl continued asking.

"I didn't steal it." Xiaoyao still shook his head.

"See, he's not arrogant, didn't beat anyone, didn't steal anything. How can I beat him?" the green-robed girl turned around, looking at Master Wang on the ground somewhat helplessly, as if saying it wasn't that she wouldn't beat him, but she couldn't find a reason.

"..."

Master Wang was speechless. What was going on? Why did this situation feel so strange?

"Young lady, I'm like this, how can you say he didn't beat anyone?" Master Wang said with a bitter smile. What was this young lady doing? Why was her behavior so strange?

"Right! Kid, did you beat him?" the green-robed girl asked Xiaoyao again.

"Yes!" Xiaoyao nodded, admitting it.

"See, he admitted it!" Master Wang was happy. He almost felt grateful to Xiaoyao now.

"Then you just said you didn't beat anyone, are you toying with me?" the green-robed girl seemed angry.

Good, good, this was the normal situation. Kid, you're dead. Master Wang's mood began rising again, seeming to see Xiaoyao's miserable fate once more.

Xiaoyao smiled slightly and asked, "Is he your person?"

Of course! Didn't you just say so! Master Wang thought, feeling certain the green-robed girl would nod in agreement. This was like one plus one equals two, an iron-clad fact.

"Doesn't seem like it." the green-robed girl shook her head and said with a smile.

"There you go!" Xiaoyao smiled.

"Wait, young lady, did you make a mistake? I am your person!" Master Wang immediately called out.

"You're the one who's mistaken. Would we have someone like you? Hmph!" After the green-robed girl finished speaking, she kicked Master Wang. Her kick was no lighter than Xiaoyao's, only heavier.

"Ah, I was wrong! I'm not your person, I was wrong!" Master Wang immediately called out. Indeed, to become their person, he was completely unqualified. Perhaps this was what angered her.

"But he did steal Yihong Courtyard!"

"Oh right, did you steal Yihong Courtyard?" the green-robed girl asked again.

"No, I won it playing mahjong." Xiaoyao waved his hand.

"What?!" the green-robed girl was stunned, seeming somewhat surprised by this result.

Dead, dead, this time I'm dead! Master Wang seemed to understand that mentioning this matter wouldn't end better for him than for Xiaoyao, he might die even more miserably.

"He played mahjong with me, then I won. It's that simple." Xiaoyao said.

"You actually used Yihong Courtyard as stakes?" the green-robed girl looked coldly at Master Wang.

"No, I didn't. I just didn't have anything else at the time, so I used this as collateral. I was going to bring money to redeem it immediately, but this kid refused no matter what. He's also very troublesome, so when I happened to meet you two, I asked for your help. No matter what, we should get Yihong Courtyard back now and discuss other matters later." After Master Wang explained, he tried to redirect the conversation.

"Kid, are you willing to give us Yihong Courtyard?" the green-robed girl looked at Xiaoyao and asked.

"No, I've already given it to someone!" Xiaoyao directly shook his head.

Haha, now let's see if you die! Actually daring to refuse! Master Wang was secretly delighted, almost certain that Xiaoyao's refusal would end badly.

But what he never expected was—

"Oh, if that's the case, then forget it. Without Yihong Courtyard, we can find others." the green-robed girl said with a smile.

What?! Forget it? What was this situation?

"Young lady, are you alright? Just forgetting it like this?" Master Wang asked blankly. This was getting stranger and stranger.

"Of course we're forgetting it. Who told you to lose Yihong Courtyard to him, and he's unwilling to give it up? We can only forget it." the green-robed girl said somewhat helplessly.

"If he's unwilling, we can beat him until he's willing!" Master Wang called out.

"Will you beat him or will I?" the green-robed girl looked at Master Wang and asked.

"Of course you, young lady..."

This question was so strange. I'm like this now, obviously I can't beat Xiaoyao. Could it be that you don't want to act personally, so you'll subdue this kid and let me beat him?

"Ah, ah, young lady, why are you hitting me!"

The green-robed girl did hit someone, but not Xiaoyao, she hit Master Wang, leaving him completely confused.

"Why? You told me to go beat him, that's harming me, so of course I hit you." the green-robed girl snorted, then stopped hitting him. She was just giving him a lesson.

At this moment, not only did Master Wang not understand, even the Yihong Courtyard courtesans were completely baffled about what was happening. Even the two who came with the green-robed girl didn't understand what she was doing.

"Young lady, I don't understand how beating him would harm you." Master Wang was confused.

"Some things you wouldn't understand even if I told you! Kid, handle this person however you want. I'm leaving first. Don't say you saw me, and don't say I messed up this matter, though it wasn't really me who messed it up." the green-robed girl said to Xiaoyao, seeming afraid he might tell on her to someone.

By now, everyone surely understood that the green-robed girl was wary of Xiaoyao, and the two sides should know each other.

Master Wang now understood, he had kicked an iron plate. These sufferings were self-inflicted. This kid seemed to have deep background. Perhaps the Young Miss he mentioned before might be one of these people.

Now, forget causing trouble for him, he should thank heaven if the kid didn't cause trouble for him.

"Wait a moment, Cuihua!" Xiaoyao called to the green-robed girl who was preparing to leave.

"Damn it, can you not call my name!!" the green-robed girl was angry.

Ah, her name was Cuihua? This name was really interesting.

At this moment, everyone first found the name strange, feeling it didn't match the green-robed girl at all. Then they realized that if Xiaoyao could call out Cuihua's name, it meant they knew each other.
