C681 You Have Finally Taken the First Step!
Taking advantage of the few hoodlums who were distracted, Xie Qi Lan took out the sharp hairpin and stabbed it into one of the hoodlums' thighs.
The golden hairpin was inserted into the flesh, almost piercing into the bone!
The blood splashed onto her tender and snow-white face, but Xie Qi Lan didn't show any expression.
She pulled it out and stabbed it again!
Puchi!
Puchi, puchi, puchi!
The hoodlum lost his strength from the pain, and was stabbed by Xie Qi Lan seven or eight times. His two legs were covered in bloody holes.
The others looked at them and felt goosebumps all over their scalps!
These two children, one was more ruthless than the other!
Whether it was Shen Jun or Xie Qi Lan, their eyes were so cold that it was unbelievable.
It was as if what they stabbed and smashed wasn't a person, but... but something that didn't have any life!
They really didn't take human lives seriously!
The few hoodlums were completely scared out of their wits, and no longer had the courage to fight.
After mustering up the courage to snatch back their boss and the companion whose legs were crippled, they ran out in a hurry.
On the empty and cold street, only Shen Jun and Xie Qi Lan were left.
Plop.
Seeing the few people leave, Shen Jun fell powerlessly to the ground and inhaled the cold air.
Just as he had said before, he was just an ordinary eight-year-old child.
An eight-year-old child ran through half of Lone Desert City in one breath.
When he arrived beside Xie Qi Lan, he had already exhausted all of his strength.
Just now, he had fought with those hooligans with all his might.
Just as Shen Jun was desperately trying to catch his breath and regain some of his strength, Xie Qi Lan, who was at the side, also dragged her injured body over.
There was no gratitude on her face. She only said coldly, "Shen Jun, I don't know where you come from, and I don't know why you want to help me."
"But let me tell you, I am from the Xie Family of the Lonely Swan City!"
"The Blood Gang, right? They are about to make a move on my Xie Family."
"Now that you have helped me, the Blood Gang might also set their eyes on you."
"If you want to live, then run! Run out of the Lonely Swan City, the further the better!"
Xie Qi Lan's voice was very cold, and she even purposely straightened her face.
She wanted to scare this kind-hearted boy away.
At least, because of a moment of kindness, he would die together with the Xie Family.
Hearing Xie Qi Lan's words, Shen Jun was startled.
Then he suddenly laughed.
His laughter was very warm, and it could even be called brilliant.
"Xie Qi Lan, right? I can call you Qi Lan."
"Are you cold? Are you hungry? Do you want me to bring you some food to warm up your body?"
This time, it was Xie Qi Lan's turn to be surprised.
Was this boy an idiot?
Or did he not understand human language at all?
Did he not understand what it meant to be targeted by the Blood Gang?
Xie Qi Lan opened her mouth to curse, but when the words reached her throat, she could not say them out loud.
She looked at Shen Jun's bright smile.
In her heart, she actually felt a little relieved.
This boy, who looked to be a few years older than her, who could even deal with a few hooligans, could protect her well under the hands of the Blood Gang?
Xie Qi Lan herself felt that it was a little laughable.
But for some reason, she could not laugh.
She really could not laugh.
Seeing Xie Qi Lan's hesitant expression, Shen Jun suddenly smiled even brighter.
He forced himself to stand up, patted the snow and mud on his body, and said with a smile, "I was in a hurry to find a shop selling big bone soup. In this weather, I came here to buy a bowl of bone soup with pepper. It is very warm."
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Xie Qi Lan frowned and asked in her coldest tone.
"Can you walk? Do you want me to help you?" Shen Jun did not seem to hear her at all.
Facing this kind-hearted person who was too warm and kind without any warning, Xie Qi Lan's first reaction was still vigilance.
In these days, every time she met this kind of person, it was not good.
Either he wanted to capture her and sell her to the brothel.
Or he wanted to offer her to the Blood Gang.
If it was a guy who did not know her identity and had some good intentions, it would be fine, but he was not that suspicious.
But this boy already knew who she was and knew who her enemy was. He actually still had this attitude.
To risk his life for someone he had never met before?
Only a fool would believe that!
Now that he was acting so well, he was just trying to get his trust!
Xie Qi Lan said coldly, "You can go by yourself. Thank you for saving me, but I don't have the money to treat you to bone soup noodles."
"If we meet again, I will repay your kindness."
After saying that, Xie Qi Lan turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey, don't go!" Shen Jun grabbed Xie Qi Lan's wrist and smiled as he took out a palm-sized pocket from his pocket.
He shook it lightly and made a clinking sound.
There was obviously a lot of copper coins in it.
"It's our first time meeting, how can I ask a girl to treat me?"
"I'll treat you. Let's go." Shen Jun smiled and pulled Xie Qi Lan back.
Xie Qi Lan looked at Shen Jun, then looked at the money bag in his hand. She frowned and asked, "How old are you? Where did you get so much money?"
"When I was riding on that person's body and swinging the brick, I casually took it from his waist." Shen Jun smiled proudly and said, "This grandson beat us up, so it's not too much to pay for some medical fees, right?"
Seeing the vigilance in Xie Qi Lan's eyes that had yet to fade, Shen Jun also sighed helplessly.
The Xie Family's situation was indeed very pitiful.
A few clansmen who went out to look for treasures had an accident and had a conflict with a few core disciples of the Blood Gang.
The people of the Blood Gang wanted to kill and rob, but they were beaten to death by the Xie Family's people. Two of them were killed, and the rest fled.
The Xie Family was a small family in Lone Vulture City, and they relied on a Great Sage Stage Patriarch to protect them.
But what about the Blood Gang?
There were seven or eight Great Sage Stage experts, and there was even a God Stage Sect Master.
They had offended the Blood Gang and even killed their core disciple.
There was no need to mention the Xie Family's treatment.
The higher-ups were continuously ambushed and assassinated.
Xie Qilan's parents were also included.
The entire Xie Family was in shambles. Xie Qilan, who had lost both her parents, was also chased out of the family by her internal strife.
"Don't look at me like that."
Shen Jun smiled and said, "I don't have any thoughts on you. I just want you to be my disciple."
Shen Jun was very honest.
Xie Qilan's answer was also very direct.
"I don't believe you."
Shen Jun almost spat out a mouthful of blood into the sky.
Alas... Forget it, forget it. This matter was indeed a bit too sudden.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to accept it for a while.
Not to mention Xie Qilan, who had long lost her trust in strangers.
"Don't care about my goal. In short, I definitely don't have any ill intentions towards you."
Shen Jun looked into Xie Qilan's eyes and asked word by word with a smile, "I don't care if you believe me or not. In any case, a bowl of bone soup with a lot of pepper will never lie."
"I can hear your stomach growling."
"Am I a good person or a bad person? Why don't we talk about it after we finish eating the noodles?"
Xie Qi Lan was silent for a moment.
In the end, she nodded and said stubbornly, "Alright, but I can leave myself."
"Men and women should not be intimate with each other. Don't come and help me!"
Shen Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
'You little girl, you don't look young, but you remember this matter clearly.'
'Alright, the person has already been found. This is the first step.'
There were only three days left. He could slowly take it.
