Gong Wan 'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you going to pick up the people from China's Buddhist Sect?"
"That's right."
Tan Xiu nodded.
"I've chosen to follow you, so I believe you won't harm me," said Gong Wan 'er. "But if I leave with you now, I'm afraid it won't take long for someone to recognize me. We'll be in big trouble then. "
A smile appeared on Tan Xiu's face as he controlled his facial muscles to change. Soon, his appearance was a bit different from before. It was impossible to recognize him if it wasn't someone who was particularly close to Tan Xiu. Immediately after, Tan Xiu taught Gong Wan 'er the secret technique to change her appearance.
A few minutes later.
Both of them changed their appearances when they stepped out of the courtyard. However, they both wore caps and masks to avoid being noticed by Kuwako's people in the courtyard.
"Where's Tang An?"
Asked Tan Xiu as he looked at Tang Guang, who came to greet him.
"She's afraid that Xue Sha and Hei Xiong might have an accident, so she followed them," answered Tang Guang.
In the nearby alley.
Seven or eight tattooed youths with baseball bats were surrounding a man and a woman, beating them. A red-haired youth in black leather clothes and earrings was looking at the sky. The cigarette between his fingers was about to burn out, but he didn't seem to notice it.
"I beg you, please don't beat them. I'll pay you back in three days. Please give me three more days and I'll pay you back with interest. I beg of you. " The man who was being beaten desperately hugged the woman, wanting to use the woman's body to block the baseball bat for him.
"All right."
The red-haired youth flicked the cigarette butt between his fingers. As the seven youths moved aside, he slowly walked to the scarred man and woman and kicked the woman to the side. Then, he indifferently said, "It's only right and proper for one to pay back the debt. This is the fourth three days you said. Do you think I still need to believe you? "
The man with a swollen face crawled up with difficulty and knelt in front of the red-haired youth. He nodded and hurriedly said, "It's necessary. It's very necessary. I've already paid back part of it before, but the interest is too high. I … I can't pay back so much at once! "
The red-haired youth sneered, "That's your problem."
The man knelt on the ground with a struggling look in his eyes. When he saw the red-haired youth pull out a sharp dagger from his waist, he finally burst into tears and said, "Lord Zuo Zuo, please give me three more days. I'll definitely get the money within three days. I, I, I … I'll leave my wife here with you. These … these three days, I'll let her serve you comfortably. In these three days, even if I have to steal or rob, I'll get enough money to pay you back. Do … do you think it's okay? "
The woman lying limply on the ground had a look of despair in her eyes. Because she was severely injured from the beating earlier, and now hearing her man's words, she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The red-haired youth glanced at the woman and indifferently said, "I'll give you three more days for the sake of your determination. In these three days, I won't touch your woman, even though I really want her to serve me. But if you haven't returned the money to me after three days, I'll humiliate your wife and sell her to the red-light district. She'll receive customers and make money for me. Of course, I can also let her continue to shoot movies. I have a way to make money. "
"Alright, alright. I'll listen to you."
The man stopped crying and nodded desperately.
At the entrance of the alley tens of meters away, Tan Xiu and Gong Wan 'er quietly stood there. From the scene of the couple being beaten to the end of the negotiation between the man and the red-haired youth, Tan Xiu's experienced and knowledgeable mind couldn't help but feel a bit of killing intent inside his heart. This killing intent was not aimed at the red-haired youth, but the man.
Using his wife to pay off the debt.
Such a person was not worthy to be a man. He shouldn't even live in this world. Tan Xiu could figure it out with his toes that the man would never care about his wife's life and death in the future. Even the money he owed would never be returned within three days.
"What do you think?"
Tan Xiu glanced at Gong Wan 'er next to him and lightly asked.
Gong Wan 'er looked very calm. She shook her head and said, "I just think that woman is a bit pitiful. But her fate is bad. She married such a man, so her fate is already doomed. Of course, people living in this world must adapt to the society where the weak are prey to the strong. Remember this law, be it in a bustling city or deep in the mountains. "
"..."
Tan Xiu secretly regretted it. He felt that asking Gong Wan 'er this question was simply asking an inhumane pig. He secretly sighed inwardly as he recalled Gong Wan 'er's living environment. He knew that even if this woman followed him, he wouldn't regard her as his confidant in the future.
"Let's go!"
Tan Xiu lifted his leg and walked forward.
Gong Wan 'er followed behind Tan Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to help them?"
"I'm going to help her, not them," said Tan Xiu lightly.
"This kind of thing happens a lot every day, and there are many pitiful women out there. You can't help them all," said Gong Wan 'er.
Tan Xiu stopped and stared at Gong Wan 'er's eyes. He then said in a deep voice, "I'm not a saint, nor am I a god. I can't help everyone. But I have the ability and I'm willing to help every pitiful person I meet. For example, there's an old saying in China that if you see injustice on the road, you must draw your sword to help. "
"A narrow-minded person?"
Asked Gong Wan 'er.
Tan Xiu turned around and strode forward again, "This title is too narrow-minded. I just have a kind heart and use this kindness to save those pitiful people I meet. Gong Wan 'er, I don't care what kind of environment you lived in before, nor do I care what kind of heart you have. But I must make you remember one thing today. If you want to cultivate to a higher realm, you must have an incomparably strong state of mind. And the bottom line of my people is to have a conscience and a bit of kindness. "
Kindness?
Gong Wan 'er didn't speak again, but the word Tan Xiu said kept echoing in her heart.
In the past.
She only understood one truth, that cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. If you didn't move forward, you would fall back. Therefore, she spent a lot of time on cultivation. Even if she encountered injustice, she would still view it from the perspective of being affected by the environment. She believed that this world was a dog-eat-dog world, and if her cultivation was too low, she would likely die in the hands of others in the future.
Tan Xiu came to the front of the group of thugs. His eyes swept over the face of the woman who was wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with big drops of tears dripping down. He then looked at the red-haired youth and lightly said, "Everyone, can you give me some face and let this woman go?"
In an instant.
The woman looked up. Although her eyes were covered by tears, she could still see Tan Xiu's face through the layer of blurred tears.
The red-haired youth squinted his eyes and took out a cigarette. After lighting it, he took a deep puff and asked with a bad expression, "Sir, those who meddle in other people's business often end up very tragic. Are you sure you want to meddle in this matter? "
Tan Xiu said, "I may be very busy, but I still have to meddle in this matter since I've come across it. I don't care if this man owes you money or something else, but this matter has nothing to do with this woman. If you were to detain this man or kill him, I wouldn't care at all. "
The man immediately became furious upon hearing it and shouted, "You bastard! Where the hell did you come from? Get the hell out of here! This is our own business and we'll decide it ourselves! "
The killing intent in Tan Xiu's heart turned stronger, but he still ignored him. He continued to look at the red-haired youth and said, "As the saying goes, every debt has its debtor. A man owes you money, yet he uses a woman to pay off the debt. Don't you think it's a bit too much? I've heard this saying that robbers also have their own way of doing things. Even if you're a thug and a member of the underground forces, you should also know the rules of the underworld. "
The red-haired youth took a few deep puffs of his cigarette and said in fluent English, "Just because you can say such words, I'll let you leave here standing today. Let me tell you something. If it were a few years ago, I might have let this woman go because of your words. But now, in my heart, besides money, there was nothing more important than money. Get the hell out of here. "
"How much do I owe you?" asked Tan Xiu.
The red-haired youth looked at Tan Xiu with a surprised expression. For the first time, he carefully observed Tan Xiu from head to toe and then asked, "Do you want to pay them back?"
"How much?"
Asked Tan Xiu again.
"10 million," said the red-haired youth.
"Yen?"
Asked Tan Xiu lightly.
"That's right," said the red-haired youth with a nod.
Tang Xiu shot a contemptuous look at the bewildered man and sneered, "You're really a good-for-nothing. It's just 10 million yen and 100,000 US dollars, yet you're willing to sell your wife? You're just a waste of Earth's resources. I advise you to hurry up and find a place to commit suicide. "
After saying that …
He looked at the red-haired youth again and indifferently said, "I'll give you 200,000 US dollars. Kill this trash if you dare."
"Deal!"
A cold light flashed in the red-haired youth's eyes. As his voice faded away, a sharp dagger had already pierced the man's heart when the cigarette butt was flicked to the man's face. His speed was very fast. After the dagger deeply pierced the man's heart, he instantly pulled it out and directly slashed the man's neck.
It was a murder.
Neat and tidy.
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and even released his divine sense at this moment. Through deep observation, he found that the red-haired youth's eyes were extremely indifferent. Even though he was brutally killing people, he still didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"He's a good seedling to be an assassin!"
Tan Xiu praised inwardly and asked, "Do you have a Master?"
Master?
The red-haired youth was shocked and suddenly realized something. He turned to look at the seven or eight youths and said in a deep voice, "Take this corpse away and be careful not to be found. Also, throw this corpse into the sea as soon as possible. Don't bring me any trouble. "
"Understood!"
The seven or eight youths were obviously not good people. They quickly carried the corpse away and entered a van at the entrance of the alley before quickly leaving.
