"Yo, what’s up in Yun City? Haha, you guys really think you’re big shots here, huh!" The tall guy whistled at Li Ruoxuan: "Little girl, since you insist on meddling, today I’ll take good care of you. Damn, you really think joining some crappy Ye Alliance makes you tough?"
"Brothers, let’s have some fun with them first!" The tall guy waved his hand, and his men howled and were ready to charge forward.
Li Ruoxuan’s face turned extremely ugly.
Ever since this group took over the medicinal street, Li Ruoxuan had brought people here many times, but her men always ended up beaten and bruised.
But there was no choice; if she didn’t intervene, this street would really become lawless.
Although she knew they weren’t opponents, Li Ruoxuan still gritted her teeth, preparing for a fight.
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out: "I’ll handle this."
Ye Guichen arrived next to Li Ruoxuan, looking towards the group of thugs: "Yun City no longer follows your violent ways."
Li Ruoxuan was stunned, not expecting Ye Guichen to suddenly appear. Her eyes immediately grew misty.
Since taking over the business from her brother Li Bao, Li Ruoxuan had managed to sustain it and even subdued her subordinates, but her longing for Ye Guichen grew day by day.
She knew the gap between herself and Ye Guichen was too big, so it was better to stay out of touch. After all, time could erase everything.
But she had never imagined she would see Ye Guichen here today.
Not only Li Ruoxuan, but many of her subordinates who knew Ye Guichen also had red eyes, excitedly looking at Ye Guichen: "Mr. Ye, you’re here?"
Almost everyone felt a long-lost sense of happiness.
Watching their reactions, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but sigh at how excessively detached he had been.
Fortunately, these people knew of Ye Guichen’s presence, so no one dared to have any malicious thoughts.
But encountering truly formidable opponents, aside from Ye Guichen, people like Li Ruoxuan seemed completely inadequate.
"Who are you?" The tall guy saw Ye Guichen step forward and scowled: "If you don’t want to die, stop meddling!"
"Haha, this is not meddling. This street is not for you to play around!" Ye Guichen shrugged and nodded towards Iron Hand: "Teach them a lesson so they don’t get another chance to act."
Iron Hand grinned: "Understood!"
With that, he charged out.
Though these thugs were tough against regular people, facing someone like Iron Hand, they were like lambs ready for slaughter.
Seeing Iron Hand rush over, they had no strength to resist. In the blink of an eye, they were knocked down in droves.
The tall guy was horrified: "Go tell Brother Shui, this guy’s a master!"
Clearly, they understood a bit about martial artists.
However, Iron Hand, having followed Ye Guichen, had not fought so freely in a long time and was not about to let them off easily.
His hands were like two chopping knives; wherever he struck a thug, he left deep gashes.
In just seconds, none of them could stand.
Amidst the screams, their tendons were severed, ensuring they’d never fight again.
The tall leader snarled with a twisted expression: "You, you all just wait! When Brother Shui finds out, he’ll slaughter you all!"
Ye Guichen smiled: "I won’t leave this street for now. Tell your Brother Shui to come quickly, I’ll be waiting for him."
Then he turned to Li Ruoxuan, smiling slightly: "Please have the brothers help toss them out of this street. From now on, we’ll take charge of this street. If anyone dares to hinder the merchants, do as I said."
Ye Guichen nonchalantly walked up to the tall guy and suddenly kicked his left hand joint.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering, the tall guy’s joint was completely ruined.
He grimaced in pain, almost fainting, his eyes filled with terror towards Ye Guichen.
Li Ruoxuan felt her blood boiling, shyly nodding vigorously: "Alright!"
"Oh, by the way, dissolve Ye Alliance. It sounds awkward." Ye Guichen added, and then walked into the medicinal street.
Su Jiu’er followed closely, worried, and said: "Hey, those guys just now were small fry. The guy they mentioned, Brother Shui, has some skills."
Ye Guichen walked and asked: "What skills does he have?"
"Apparently, at least a Mid Grade second-rate master, and his moves are particularly weird, hard to figure out." Su Jiu’er frowned deeply, clearly uneasy.
Ye Guichen paused, looked at Su Jiu’er: "What do you mean?"
Su Jiu’er, reluctant to admit her defeat, quickly turned her head aside when Ye Guichen stared at her, hesitating: "Well, he just feels weird. I can’t explain it fully. It feels like facing Bai Wuchang, Bai Qinghe."
"Hmm?" Ye Guichen was stunned: "Witch Clan?"
"I’m not sure if they are, can’t confirm." Su Jiu’er said embarassedly.
Being defeated wasn’t something to boast about, and now not understanding the opponent’s style made Su Jiu’er feel even more ashamed. Her tone inadvertently had a hint of coquettishness, seemingly asking Ye Guichen to drop the topic.
Ye Guichen pondered briefly, then remained silent, quickly heading towards Yunji Hall.
Along the way, almost all the shops were chaotic, some with broken glass, others in disarray. Many merchants sighed helplessly or sat on the ground worried, and some were bandaged, clearly having been beaten.
Upon reaching Yunji Hall, the situation was no better.
The clerks inside were mostly injured, some with bandaged heads, others with bandaged arms, all downcast and spiritless.
As soon as Ye Guichen entered, a clerk who didn’t recognize him looked at Ye Guichen warily: "Who are you looking for?"
Now, besides Yuan Shao’s men, few strangers entered this street.
Ye Guichen’s emergence naturally made them suspect he was with Yuan Shao.
"Where is Mr. Su?" Ye Guichen ignored the clerk’s puzzled gaze and asked.
"You..." The clerk wanted to question further but seemed to have heard something from an adjacent room. Someone peeked out, and upon seeing Ye Guichen, became ecstatic: "Mr. Ye, you’re back?"
