Chapter 1140: Bullies Everywhere on the Streets

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: Bullies Everywhere on the Streets

A few people were buying enthusiastically, even forgetting the time.

At this moment, suddenly a plea for mercy was heard from afar, seemingly from a young lady and an old man’s voices. It was somewhat distant, and there seemed to be a crowd gathered there, so it wasn’t very clear.

Gradually, more people gathered around.

Han Jing and Xia Wu exchanged a glance and went over together.

Upon approaching, it turned out to be the common scene of a forced abduction of a young woman.

The main character was a girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old, stunningly beautiful and lively. Several people were constantly tugging at her, trying to take her away, while nearby, a stooped old man with white hair was desperately clinging to one of their legs, trying to prevent them from taking the girl away.

Listening to the surrounding gossip, this grandfather and granddaughter were pearl cultivators on this island. The old man had a discerning eye, being very familiar with Cloud Spirit Pearls, thus he had cultivated quite a few good pearls and ended up being targeted. Somehow, they incurred a large debt, and now the debtor had come to demand his granddaughter as payment.

Thus, the current scene unfolded.

Han Jing shook her head. Who could have thought that in a place like this, where Spirit Cultivators gathered, you would still encounter such a cliché of a drama? Clearly, this was the debtor coveting the old man’s skills, wanting to obtain benefits for free, and having already ensnared the old man, now intended to abduct his granddaughter, reaping both beauty and treasure. After all, as long as they held the girl captive, the old man would surely comply and work for them.

Sure enough, wherever you go, you encounter such acts of bullying and oppression.

What’s more absurd is that among the onlookers, nearly half were Spirit Cultivators. Han Jing casually glanced around, noticing several with substantial cultivation, about Blue Flame Level, yet despite so many watching, not a single person stepped forward to help.

Not to mention those fellow bead sellers; they probably didn’t dare to step forward at all.

This showed the oppressor’s family had considerable influence.

Typically, encountering such situations, outsiders like Han Jing and the others weren’t supposed to intervene, because even if they did, once they left, those people would only escalate their actions, thus helping might cause harm.

And those around likely also understood this, choosing to watch with cold indifference.

But seeing an old man and a young girl being bullied like this, Han Jing couldn’t tolerate it.

Bullying an old man and a powerless young girl, what is this about?

Han Jing pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, and swiftly dispatched those bullies, raising her eyebrows and saying, "If you want to fight, bring your leaders here. Tell them Grandma is here waiting, ready for them anytime! Of course, if you feel tired of living and don’t want to deliver the message, I can kindly send you on your way now. What’s your choice?"

As soon as Han Jing finished speaking, those people scrambled away.

Everyone mixing in this street knew, it was fine to provoke the bead sellers, but never the street’s customers, because you might kick an iron plate or a stone slab, and many were not to be trifled with!

So, running was the immediate choice!
