Sikong Qianluo interrupted her father. "Dad, didn't you always teach me to help others when I saw injustice?
I know I can't wipe out these horse thieves by myself, but don't let me just watch.
If I see them, I will take care of them!"
Sikong Changfeng smiled warmly. "Okay, okay, my daughter is truly a chivalrous heroine."
Looking back at the civilians in the woods, Sikong Changfeng continued,
"But before you punish evil and promote good, you should pay attention to those who cannot protect themselves.
The first thing is to protect their safety. Don't you think?"
Sikong Qianluo understood and nodded seriously.
"Daddy, why hasn't that young man come over? Is he scared stiff?"
Sikong Qianluo cast her gaze toward the handsome young man standing in the middle of the road.
He sat there motionless on his horse,
with a rope in his hand, and at the end of the rope was an animal she had never seen before.
"The young man is very calm," Sikong Changfeng said.
"Dad, are you saying he has someone to rely on? Is he a martial arts master? I didn't feel any energy fluctuations from him just now!"
As soon as she said this,
Sikong Qianluo felt a little regretful, and her pretty face turned slightly red.
After all, isn't that indirectly admitting that she had been secretly observing the young man?
Sikong Changfeng chose to ignore his daughter's little thoughts.
"You see, Dad didn't feel any energy fluctuations—not even a single one."
Sikong Qianluo was even more worried about the handsome young man.
If she didn't feel any fluctuation,
it could mean the young master's martial arts level was higher than hers.
If he intended to hide it, it would be normal that she couldn't detect it.
But if her father couldn't feel it,
that would prove 100% that the young master really had no martial arts skills.
Her father was the third city lord of Xueyue City!
The spear master of the time!
Sikong Qianluo never imagined
that this handsome young man had reached a level of martial arts even her father could not detect.
How could such a person exist in the entire Beili Jianghu?
Besides, he was so young.
The path of martial arts was a process of hard work.
No tricks at all.
His age determined his upper limit.
The martial arts realm could surpass one's own.
This was Sikong Qianluo's boldest guess.
"Daddy, you can't even feel his energy fluctuations. Doesn't that mean he's just an ordinary person?"
There was anxiety in Sikong Qianluo's voice.
Sikong Changfeng said, "Yes, and no."
Sikong Qianluo frowned. "Dad, it's already this time. Why are you still being tactful with me?"
Seeing his daughter's temper rise,
Sikong Changfeng said quickly, "The young man's expression is too indifferent....so indifferent that it is abnormal."
With her eyesight, Sikong Qianluo naturally saw his expression.
Just as her father said, the young man was calm and composed.
Not even a hint of panic.
This was truly abnormal.
Sikong Changfeng continued, "In such a situation, he can remain so calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai.
He must have something to rely on.
You know, those are not ordinary horse thieves.
You must have heard the phrases 'Longbow Chasing Wings' and 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade.'
Not to mention ordinary people.....even first-class martial arts masters.
If we really faced those bandits, I'm afraid we would be too weak to handle them."
Sikong Qianluo's face changed.
Longbow Chasing Wings, Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?
Sikong Qianluo certainly knew this phrase.
In fact, it could make countless people in the area, 100 miles away, tremble with fear.
This was the most powerful escort agency in this region.
Once you hear this, you just run away.
Even summoning the courage to resist is impossible.
The third in command is this fellow. He sold a rare treasure at an auction house in Nanping City.
Now he has at least 100,000 taels of silver on him!"
A sturdy man wearing a mask with ghost-like fangs spoke in a muffled voice.
His tone was low, yet clearly audible to the nearby horse thieves.
For a moment, greed lit up the eyes of the thieves.
One hundred thousand taels!
Even in Baigui Village, this was considered a fortune.
They knew that in some large dart teams, the goods being escorted often didn't even reach this amount.
And now, this seemingly powerless young man before them had at least 100,000 taels of silver on hand.
It was very likely that this wasn't all he possessed.
A young man capable of selling a treasure for 100,000 taels might have other treasures hidden away.
Not only that, but seasoned horse thieves could infer something immediately.
This young man must have a strong family background.
To auction a treasure for 100,000 taels? It wouldn't be surprising if he had mountains of gold at home!
"Damn, this is an easy haul. I've never had a job this comfortable!"
"The third boss's eyes are sharp, so we kept tabs on him.
As expected, he's a fat sheep. We'll make a lot of money off him!"
"When I saw this boy, I thought he looked like he was born to bring money.
After this, I'm going to Hong Xiu Zhao for some fun!"
"Haha, why don't we let this kid stay in our village for a while? In the future, we can rely on him and live well!"
The bandits clearly didn't take Mo Chen seriously.
Living on the edge of a knife, they had developed sharp eyes.
This kid seemed powerless.
