After following him all the way, Ye Hong didn't notice anything unusual about Lu Jiang, nor did he see any connection between Lu Jiang and the monster. He didn't even see the shadow of the monster.
This made Ye Hong seriously doubt whether Liu Yiyi was deceiving him just to trick him into going to Butterfly Flower Valley.
Suspicious in his heart, Ye Hong secretly followed Lu Jiang for a few more days.
After Lu Jiang received a sum of spar from him, Lu Jiang also followed Ye Hong's advice and moved out of that dilapidated house and found a fairly ordinary place in the town. He no longer suffered from the rain when he slept at night. Wind-blown sin.
Later, Lu Jiang found a job in the town as an errand boy in a small shop. He did some chores every day and was able to make a living without the crystal stones given by Ye Hong.
The only unusual thing about Lu Jiang is that he always pays attention to a young girl selling rouge on the street, and often peeks at others from a distance. For Lu Jiang in his prime, this is nothing special. Who has not thought about it yet? Someone I like.
As for what Lu Jiang poached from the corner of that dilapidated house, Ye Hong didn't know. It's been a while since I came to Qingshan Town, and during this period of secret observation on Lu Jiang, the monster didn't appear again.
Ye Hongdu wondered whether the monster beast was disturbed by the last search. Now the monster beast has become alert and will not appear again easily.
Because he couldn't find the monster after spending so much time, Zhang Chu never woke up and became like a vegetative state.
The only useful clue was the one given to him by Liu Yiyi, and now there was no progress. Ye Hong was already ready to give up, wondering whether to give up on the mission of Qingshan Town.
"Master, the monster in the town hasn't been caught yet. Isn't it too dangerous for us to come out like this?"
"What are you afraid of! How could that monster come out in broad daylight? Besides, he's not from Golden Dragon Academy!"
"But……"
"But! But what! There are so many buts!" After saying this, the young man ignored the followers beside him and walked forward without looking back.
"Master, please slow down! Wait for me!"
After Lu Jiang finished his work as usual, he would sit at the door during his free time and look at the rouge stall diagonally across the street. The 28-year-old girl next to the stall had admiration in his eyes.
Just as Lu Jiang was watching the girl silently, a young man in gorgeous clothes came to the street, accompanied by a servant who seemed to be the young man's book boy.
The young man was slightly fat and had a frivolous appearance. He was walking around and passed by a rouge stall when he suddenly turned around and stopped.
"Hey! This little lady..." The young man looked at the girl next to the rouge stall with a smile on his face.
"The little lady is so beautiful! Come back with me, young master!" The young man said and reached out to touch the girl's face.
The girl was frightened by the young man's actions and quickly backed away, avoiding the young man's hand. "This young man, please respect yourself!"
When the young man saw the girl's panic, his interest suddenly rose. He grabbed the girl and tried to take her away.
"Ah, no!"
The girl was caught by the young man and immediately struggled to get away from the young man. But because the young man was too strong, the girl couldn't break free. Instead, she was held tighter by the young man.
"Girl, I advise you not to struggle. There is nothing wrong with following our young master. Our young master is the legitimate son of the Zhang family. It is your blessing to have the young master fall in love with you for eight lifetimes." The young man's follower persuaded the girl. .
The girl's eyes were red and she struggled hard but refused to die. The more the girl struggled, the more excited the young man became. He even started to move his hands up and down the girl, trying to forcefully kiss her.
Lu Jiang, who had been paying attention from a distance, saw this situation and immediately rushed over, jumped up and pounced on the young man, and bit him.
"Ah! You damn beast!" The young man yelled when he was suddenly bitten.
Lu Jiang was thrown away by the young man. The young man let go of the girl because of the pain and touched the place where he was bitten.
When the young man saw that he had been bitten by Lu Jiang and drew blood, he became furious and wanted to beat Lu Jiang to death.
"How dare you bite me, you beast!" The young man cursed and kicked Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang wanted to dodge, but because he had just been thrown to the ground, he couldn't dodge before he could stand up. He was immediately kicked by the young man.
Lu Jiang, who had no cultivation at all, was kicked by the young man and curled up on the ground, unable to stand up.
After the young man kicked Lu Jiang several times, he felt much less angry and his anger subsided. He spat at Lu Jiang, and then turned his attention to the girl again.
The girl hid aside and trembled, feeling even more frightened when she saw the lustful look the young man looked at her.
Seeing this situation, Ye Hong, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to help the girl and drive away the frivolous young man. But just when Ye Hong was about to stand up, Ye Hong held back. .
Because Lu Jiang, who thought he had no power to resist, suddenly jumped up. When the young man was not paying attention, he pounced from behind again and bit the young man's neck.
"Ah! Damn it!"
The young man was bitten painfully by Lu Jiang's sudden attack. He slapped Lu Jiang on the head. Seeing the situation, Lu Jiang immediately avoided it. He bent his hands into claws and scratched the young man hard, leaving streaks on the young man's body. Deep scratches.
How could the young man not be angry when he was scratched and bitten by Lu Jiang like this? When he saw that the palm failed, he even used his elemental power to knock Lu Jiang away and angrily punched and kicked Lu Jiang.
Although the young man's cultivation level is not high and he only has the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm, he is at least a cultivator. This attack with the strength of the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm hits Lu Jiang, and Lu Jiang does not feel that well.
Not long after, Lu Jiang was beaten to a bloody head by the young man, as if he had been seriously injured.
When the young man saw that Lu Jiang gradually became silent, he thought that Lu Jiang had been beaten to death, so he stopped immediately. But at this moment, Lu Jiang, who had been silent, suddenly grabbed the young man's calf and bit it.
Lu Jiang was like a ferocious beast, constantly biting the young man's calf. Even though the young man kept beating Lu Jiang angrily, Lu Jiang refused to let go or let go.
The young man was very angry at this time. He was bitten several times by Lu Jiang. There were deep tooth marks on his body, and some even bitten off the flesh.
Seeing this situation, the young man's follower was not idle, and also tried hard to pull Lu Jiang away, but Lu Jiang tightly hugged the young man's calf and let the young man throw and kick him. No matter how hard the followers pulled, they couldn't kick Lu Jiang away.
The young man kept yelling and trying to get rid of Lu Jiang angrily. What happened here quickly attracted many people to watch, and many people were pointing and pointing.
"Isn't that Zhang Guangxi of the Zhang family?"
"It seems like hey! What's going on? Who is that young man?"
"This Guangxi is usually arrogant and domineering and very lustful. He must have fallen in love with the girl at the rouge stall. He is really asking for trouble."
"How do you say that?"
"You didn't know this! Someone had an idea for this rouge stall girl before, but she died miserably! Tsk, tsk, tsk~ But she deserves it!"
"Why does that young man look a bit like the little beggar who was begging for food nearby?"
"If you don't tell me, I really don't think so. The more I look at it, the more they look like each other!"
…
After a struggle and beating, Lu Jiang was seriously injured and bleeding profusely. When he was finally exhausted, he was thrown away by the fat young man.
After throwing Lu Jiang away, the young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lu Jiang, who had been thrown away in the distance, was about to pounce on him again, he was so frightened that he quickly retreated and fled away as if he was rolling and crawling.
"What a mad dog! What bad luck! Just wait for me!" The young man looked back at Lu Jiang viciously.
The young man cursed and left everyone's sight, as if he was going back to fetch reinforcements and find someone to settle the score with. Lu Jiang's eyes were also extremely scary at this time, like a wild beast, as if he saw the other person as prey.
Lu Jiang looked at the direction in which the young man was leaving, his eyes full of resentment, without any fear or fear.
Seeing Lu Jiang standing like this, the people around him couldn't help but take a few steps back.
As the people around her gradually dispersed, Lu Jiang's expression gradually changed and became gentle. He looked at the girl standing at the rouge stand beside him, his eyes dodge, and he did not dare to look directly at her.
Then he lowered his head, turned around silently, and left slowly with staggering steps.
When the girl saw that Lu Jiang didn't say anything, she turned around and left. Although she was still a little scared and was shocked by what just happened, she still expressed her gratitude to Lu Jiang.
Trembling slightly, he said, "Thank you... thank you!"
The girl's trembling voice came from behind, and Lu Jiang, who was walking, suddenly stopped for a moment.
After being in a daze for a moment, Lu Jiang continued to walk away. He didn't take two steps, but suddenly he heard another word from the girl behind him, which made Lu Jiang stop in his tracks. He paused there not knowing what to do.
"You are the little beggar who helped me several times before, right? Thank you very much for helping me so much! Thank you!"
Lu Jiang did not turn around, but paused for a moment and nodded silently in response.
Then he suddenly quickened his pace and left the place quickly, disappearing from the girl's sight. The girl wanted to step forward to keep Lu Jiang but failed to catch up, leaving the girl with a helpless sigh.
Then the girl went back to clean up her stall, preparing to leave without leaving the stall today. Looking at the direction in which Lu Jiang disappeared, he looked back three times with complicated eyes, and finally left helplessly.
On Lu Jiang's side, after leaving, he quickly hid in a dark corner where the girl couldn't see him. After pausing for a moment, Lu Jiang quietly looked at the girl who was cleaning up the rouge stall through his sight, watching silently in secret.
Ye Hong watched all this happening from a distance, looking at Lu Jiang's pitiful appearance. Lu Jiang looked at the girl with such humility. He obviously liked the girl, but he only watched her from a distance and did not dare to talk to the girl.
Ye Hong didn't understand Lu Jiang's actions at all. He said that Lu Jiang was cowardly. It was true that he didn't even have the courage to talk to the girl, but he could stand up when the girl was in danger. This was not what a weak person could do. thing.
Lu Jiang seemed to feel inferior to himself. This was the only thing Ye Hong could see. But why Lu Jiang behaved like this puzzled Ye Hong.
Ordinarily, Lu Jiang is neatly dressed now, not ugly at all, and not as handsome as a girl, so there is absolutely no need to feel inferior, and he dare not say anything because of his inferiority complex.
Ye Hong could only understand that this was due to Lu Jiang's character, a humble love and silent protection.
But one thing that made Ye Hong feel strange was how Lu Jiang, with the physique of an ordinary person, could withstand the punches and kicks of the fifth level of Qi Condensation Realm and still miraculously survive.
Moreover, Lu Jiang was able to walk away on his own afterwards, as if he was not seriously injured, which made Ye Hong very confused.
