Chapter 2433: Chapter 2434: Surrounded

"How about this, young lady? We aren’t bad people. It’s just that it’s late at night and we can’t rest easy seeing you here... We just want to see you home safely."

Zhong Wei stepped forward with what he considered to be elegance. His face bore a smile, yet unintentionally revealed a glint in his eyes.

Although Xiaoying had never encountered such situations and seldom interacted with others, the aversion that surged from her bones was undeniably genuine.

Holding a cloth bag in her hand and lightly furrowing her brow, Xiaoying tucked the item in her arm tighter to her chest. She then slightly tilted her head and said once more, "Move aside."

He was originally in the city, but now, having been at the Green Ripple Sect for such a long time, he hadn’t lived that way in a while, which made him deeply nostalgic for those days.

Even though Zhong Wei had acquaintances here in the Green Ripple Sect, it was after all a sect, lacking the hustle and bustle of the city, which left Zhong Wei quite disinterested and feeling as though he was rotting away after staying for so long.

This led to the night scene before them. Upon discovering Xiaoying walking alone, Zhong Wei grew more intrigued.

"Brother, just let me catch her."

Beside Zhong Wei, another young man spoke, his eyes narrow, and when looking at others, they exuded a shifty light. As he spoke, he lifted his leg, intending to walk towards Xiaoying.

His name was Zhu Hao, and he was somewhat different from others. Back when he was still in the city, he was already following Zhong Wei. As the Zhong family still had some influence in the city, by following him, Hao’s status also rose, and ordinary people didn’t dare provoke him, showing respect by addressing him as Brother Hao.

This was all brought about by Zhong Wei, and because of this, Zhu Hao was even more eager to please him. Consequently, Zhong Wei found Zhu Hao to be agreeable, and took him everywhere, including the Green Ripple Sect.

"Go ahead, just don’t hurt her."

Zhong Wei could see what Zhu Hao had in mind with just one look.

Having been here for such a long time, Zhu Hao was also itching for action. With such a beauty before him, he was... however, Zhu Hao was well aware.

Zhu Hao wanted a taste, but he’d likely have to wait a few days.

So now, Zhu Hao took the lead. Even if he couldn’t pursue Xiaoying in front of so many people, but still...

At this moment, Zhu Hao’s hand moved slightly, his already narrow eyes becoming even narrower.

Moreover, she knew her own abilities were no match for these people. During her frown, Xiaoying took a step back, and said, "What do you want."

"Don’t be afraid."

A leering laugh echoed from Zhu Hao’s mouth as he reached out with open hands.

Even if Xiaoying was slow to react, seeing Zhu Hao’s expression, she understood his intentions, and she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

"If only Grandpa was here..."

Biting her lip, Xiaoying thought.

Although she now had the power Pan Yan had imparted earlier, this power wasn’t entirely what Xiaoying had cultivated. It was all passed down from Pan Yan.

Xiaoying hadn’t practiced much of this power earlier, resulting in her Spiritual Energy cultivation not being high.

Now, even though Zhu Hao was like this, one couldn’t deny the Spiritual Energy he exuded wasn’t weak and was slightly higher than Xiaoying’s.

This caused Xiaoying considerable trouble.

Nonetheless, she extended her hand, freely mobilizing the chaotic powers within her Dantian.

However, Xiaoying herself had no combat experience, appearing quite unfamiliar. As a result, her movements were very slow.

In contrast, Zhu Hao clearly had much more experience than Xiaoying. Seeing her response, he understood the situation.

This girl had no real power, not worth fearing.

This greatly boosted Zhu Hao’s confidence, prompting him to say, "Come over here!"

Following his words, Zhu Hao began to move.

His right hand swung in a circle in the air, aiming for Xiaoying’s hand, intending to use this force to drag her over.

Xiaoying’s expression showed surprise. Having no battle experience and having grown up with Pan Yan, she had no fighting experience against others, and Zhu Hao’s swift change left her somewhat at a loss.

Due to the excessive swirling of her Spiritual Energy, although her power seemed considerable, it also slowed her down.

Xiaoying pressed her lips tight, seemingly flustered, and desperately swung her hand, trying to dodge the incoming strike.

"It’s useless," Zhu Hao said with confidence.

But just at this moment, a sudden twist caught everyone by surprise.
