CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 121: HAVE WE MET BEFORE?

Yun Ran followed the voice and looked over.

The newcomer was dressed in military attire, silver armor and white robes, indescribably handsome and charismatic.

With sword-shaped brows and starry eyes, his features were deep-set and sharply defined, a touch of heroic spirit between his brows, he was an exceptionally handsome and dazzling man.

Yun Ran looked at him, instinctively frowned, it’s him!

Shen Mubai!

Upon closer inspection, his eyebrows and eyes bore a thirty percent resemblance to Shen Weixi.

Those few thugs were also looking at Shen Mubai, their faces showing anger from having their fun interrupted.

"Where’s this stinking soldier from! How dare you meddle in my affairs? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?"

The two men beside him, left and right, also glared at Shen Mubai with aggressive looks, saying in unison:

"Do you know who our big brother is? Do you know who our big brother’s dad is? If you know what’s good for you, get lost!"

Shen Mubai’s sword-shaped brows furrowed slightly, his sharp gaze swept over them all.

"In broad daylight, in the capital no less, how dare you act so recklessly? Harassing good families’ youth on the streets, you have some nerve."

His remark was met with a loud, arrogant laugh.

"I’ve always walked sideways in the capital, no one has dared to say a word against me, and you dare act arrogantly in front of me?"

"Do you believe that I can say just one sentence and you’ll be kicked out of the army?"

Again, the two beside him spoke in unison:

"Just one word from big brother, you believe you will pack up and roll away!"

Shen Mubai looked at them, frowning, pondering.

Yun Ran glanced at Shen Mubai, somewhat annoyed: [So, are we fighting or not?]

Feeling depressed today, she was itching to find someone to beat up!

Yun Ran reached for a roast chicken gifted by an admirer, swung an arm, and hurled it at the face of the dandy.

With a ’swish’, the roast chicken hit the man squarely in the face, fast and accurate, with enough force to make the dandy stumble several steps backward before steadying himself.

"Brother! Brother, are you okay?"

The one hit wiped away the pepper oil on his face and felt a burning pain, instantly flew into a rage.

"Damn kid! Good wine doesn’t come easily, but you choose to drink penalty wine! Catch him for me!"

"And that damned soldier, catch him too!"

A dozen henchmen swarmed toward Yun Ran and Shen Mubai.

Tears were all over Yun Ran’s little face, her eyes were red, yet her gleam showed excitement and ferocity, swinging up a brick to charge.

But Shen Mubai pulled her back.

Yun Ran frowned, casting a cold eye, "Are you with them?"

Shen Mubai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Young buddy, step back. I’ll handle it."

With that, he moved like the wind, confronting the henchmen.

Trained often in the army, Shen Mubai’s attacks were swift, fierce, and precise, with no fanciful moves, every strike deadly.

With just an exchange, the dozen or so people were already on the ground crying and unable to get up.

Only three dandies were left.

Their faces had lost the earlier arrogance but still maintained a facade of bravado, "You... if you dare harm this young master even slightly, I promise your whole family will accompany you in the afterlife!"

"What’s the point talking to him."

Before Shen Mubai could speak, Yun Ran had already darted out from behind him, her petite figure unusually agile, suddenly appearing before the three.

Brick up, brick down, one knocked out, then up and down again, another down.

The last one had not yet faced Yun Ran’s hit, but ’thud’, fell to the ground, himself fainting.

Yun Ran’s mouth twitched, she stepped up.

"Ugh... cough cough cough..."

The guy nearly suffered internal injuries from her stepping, scrambled to get up, "Mercy, hero!"

Yun Ran tossed the brick, hitting his head, and this time he truly fainted.

Shen Mubai witnessed it all, a hint of surprise in his eyes, stepped to Yun Ran, offering a white handkerchief.

"Young buddy, wipe your tears."

Yun Ran looked at the sunlit hand, clearly defined joints, quite good-looking.

It was a hand that draws long bows, grips swords, full of strength.

However, Yun Ran did not take it, "Thank you for your noble help, parting from here, never to meet again."

Finished speaking she turned, but Shen Mubai flickered and blocked her path.

Yun Ran frowned, eyes slightly cold, "What? Want to rob?"

"Young buddy, have we, met somewhere?"
