Shortly after receiving the assignment from Baiye, the old lady was waiting patiently for the No. 90 group near a tree and she straightaway locked her eyes on Xero in the crowd.
She was just an ordinary old lady with no cultivation, and by her appearance you could tell very well.
However, this little downstream won't cause any problems for someone like Madam Liu.
Xero was the primary target for Pengci given by the client, and the experienced Madam Liu had practiced her expertise for years.
Madam Liu was one of the three elders of the Pengci Gang in Xuantai District, and she was recognized by old ladies alike, or people thirty or twenty years younger. She definitely had astounding abilities of some sort.
First, was her incredible eyesight.
Although she was over seventy years old, she had eyes like an eagle. It was an ability old people like her revered! She could lock onto any Pengci target in any crowd without difficulty.
Secondly, she was the top student in her class when she was younger. Of course…. this isn't anything that she'd openly brag about. But it was precisely why she could be a top elder in that regard.
The moment she saw Xero, she immediately calculated the distance between them.
She estimated that there was about twenty to thirty meters between them. And currently, Xero was walking at a speed of seven meters per second… so she needed to jump out of the tree at exactly four meters per second in order to execute plan…
As a result, after two seconds…
…
Everyone saw an old lady hobble towards them, throw their walking cane to the side with a thud, and jump onto Xero's legs, pulling at the fabric while their face etched with pain.
Xero hadn't expected to actually encounter a pengci fraudulent. He remembered at the Dimensional Seal Between Worlds incident, that the demons that tried to touch him were instantly reduced to ashes. A lot of his power has been restricted by the slowly deteriorating talisman seal on his nape, plus the old woman didn't really have any strength. Otherwise if this had happened when the seal had expired…
In his heart, Xero would think that she and everything around him would be reduced to fine dust.
Of course, Xero had no intention of helping her up. With the amount of godly divine strength he has, he had always not been good at controlling it… besides, this lady had no cultivation at all; like if he pulls her up too hard, and launches her up to space?! Or if touches her to grab her arm and it snaps her arms!?
"Old woman, are you okay?" Misaki crouched and said that in a soft voice.
Though everyone there could tell that she was clearly committing pengci, in a world that was ruled and civilized… the weak was always right.
In this Qi Information Era; who would dare commit such a thing at a cultivators toes?!
The old lady should consider herself lucky she hadn't been blasted away with a technique!
She acted realistically though; for a time there. She was twitching uncontrollably on the ground, she was putting on a show for bystanders!
It was only when Lianhua and Xinyan asked the lady more than ten times if she was okay that she suddenly froze and fixed her gaze on Xero, "You… you!"
"? ? ?" Zhen Jie and Han Jue were dumbfounded, having question marks hover around their faces.
Nowadays, the Pengci gang's acting skills have gone up a notch. But with this… what the hell am I even looking at! They didn't even try to mask it a little! Usually, some elders wouldn't think twice before throwing themselves under a car — but this old lady had the brain to accuse Xero of knocking her down in broad moonlight?
Han Jue curled his lip, "Old lady. Be reasonable. My classmate over here was standing with us with no means of transport. How could he have knocked you down?"
Honestly, if the person committing pengci was an ordinary old man or woman, they would have withered in seconds due to Han Jue's inquiry.
But as an elder, Madam Liu was worthy of her name and reputation. It was her exceptional pengci style that made her stand out from the rest. Faced with her composed expression, the group from No. 90 High understood…
…. She was a seasoned veteran… for sure!
Confronted with Han Jue's logical question, the old lady knew what to say. In that moment she pointed at Xero, "It was him! I'm sure of it, he used magical pressure!"
Magical pressure assault… oh f**k, she's good!
"…"
In that moment, everyone was silent. This was definitely the new pengci method!
Han Jue sighed, resting his hand on his forehead as realization dawned on him. Surely, the older it was, the spicier and tricky it got. Who would have knew that faced with such a logical question that she would find a way to wriggle herself out of it!
Lianhua hit her fist on her open palm, "Why don't we just… call the police?"
Xinyan: "Yeah, that could work!"
"Call the police?" Madam Liu hummed. "Do you know how many members our Pengci gang has? As long as this student compensates me, I'll let it go."
Misaki sighed, "How much do you want then?"
Madam Liu thought for a moment before exclaiming, "I don't want much, just fifteen million." She said, stretching out her palm.
Fifteen million?!
Well obviously, this was like five dollars to Misaki. But it wasn't something she could bring out on the spot.
"Why don't you just go and steal from someone!" Zhen Jie couldn't take it anymore at that point.
Only then did he realize…
Is that's what she's doing right now! Robbing them, back-to-back!
Before they could process their shock, she pointed at Xero yet again. This time she said, "Also for your info, I'll only accept the money from this student specifically. We pengci members are professionals!"
"…" Xinyan felt that subverted her three views.
The professionalism of the gang itself was stressing… the nation was on par to collapse!
"Let's just get her locked up…" Han Jue sighed.
"Ho ho… you want to send me to prison? Why don't you give me reason first?" She smiled mockingly.
Han Jue straightaway looked at her with dissatisfaction. "Well, first off. You showed up outta nowhere, grabbed my classmate's leg claiming he used magical pressure to knock you over. You're quite literally molesting him, isn't that child safety concerns? This could be used in cultivation court!"
Xero: "…"
The corner of Madam Liu's lip twitched sharply.
Molest?! How big is the child, 1.83 meters tall?!
Obviously, Madam Liu didn't really buy it. "Hah! Even if you send me to prison, I'll be out in two days, and by that time the whole gang will be after you. What will you do then?"
Misaki glared fiercely at Madam Liu, "You're threatening us now…" she had obviously bought that this was a fraudulent pengci gangster. "Do you know who I a…" Before she could finish her sentence, Xero strode forward. Blocking Misaki's body from the old lady.
Since he already knew this was a plot from Baiye, that was aimed specifically at him. He didn't want to get others mixed up.
After all, he had already thought of a thousand ways to deal with this situation…
