"I didn't expect you to be so skilled!" Gu Qingzi praised.

"Why aren't you leaving?" It was another ice-cold sentence.

Gu Qingzi gritted her teeth in anger. She thought for a while before putting on a smile. "I feel that you're a good person. Although you pretend to be inhuman and fierce, you're actually very kind!"

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows. Someone actually said he was kind. Interesting!

"Your pendant?" Shen Yi's expression suddenly became tense. His eyes darkened: "Let me have a look!"

Gu Qingzi's eyes darted around a few times before she spoke, licking her lips, "This pendant of mine is a family heirloom. How can it be so easily seen by outsiders?"

"So?"

"So, let's exchange!" Gu Qingzi pursed her lips and said urgently, "There is a group of thugs who are using their numbers to do evil deeds in our house. Send Buddha to the west and help us. As long as you are willing to help, I will show you this pendant!"

Shen Yi originally wanted to say that it had nothing to do with me. He looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was flushed red, and unexpectedly answered: "Where is your home?"

"Just down the hill from here, and turn right!"

Gu Qingzi looked at him expectantly. "Then let's go?"

Shen Yi nodded and followed Gu Qingzi down the mountain. "You are the daughter of the Gu family?"

Gu Qingzi stopped and turned her head in surprise. "How did you know?"

Shen Yi chuckled, "The population of Ping An village is no more than a hundred. Tell me, how would I know?"

Gu Qingzi pursed her lips and did not say anything else. What idiotic question did she ask? How could he not know that he lived in Peace Village?!

When Gu Qingzi and Shen Yi walked into the Gu household, Old Man Gu dragged Gu Wei outside.

"I'm handing this beast over to you. If you want to die, just take it!" Old Man Gu said hatefully.

"Dad, you can't just ignore me, dad …" When Gu Wei heard Old Man Gu's words, he couldn't help but become anxious. He crawled back to Old Man Gu with tears and snot flowing out of his eyes and grabbed onto Old Man Gu's clothes: "Dad, are you really going to watch your son die?"

"You ate, drank, and gambled. You've done all sorts of heartless things. All of our Gu family's assets will be lost because of you. What do you want me to do!?"

Old Man Gu sighed helplessly. With more than enough effort, he replied, "Ah Wei, you've brought calamity upon yourself. You can't live!"

"Father …"

The man in the lead weighed the large bag of silver taels that Old Man Gu handed him and sneered: "What's the use of taking his life? Since you can't take out any extra silver, I think your yard should be worth some money!"

"No way!" When Old Man Gu heard this, he became anxious, "This courtyard is the ancestral courtyard, I can't give it to you!"

"That's not up to you!" The leader coldly snorted, "Come on, turn this place upside down. Take whatever is valuable. If you don't have enough, just chase them out!"

"I advise you guys not to go too far!" A clear and cold voice rang out, and the newcomer said at a moderate pace, "If a rabbit is forced into a corner, it will behave atrociously, let alone a human being."

The man in the lead was stunned. He turned his head and saw that it was a person. He disdainfully said, "Someone who isn't afraid of death has arrived. Do you even want to meddle in the matters of our gang?"

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Since I can come, then I will naturally be in charge!"

"What an arrogant fellow. Come, let's take care of him first!"

The moment that person finished speaking, a few burly men holding axes chopped towards Shen Yi.

Madame Gu was so shocked that she only covered her eyes and did not dare to look again.

Shen Yi was agile. He quickly turned around and dodged the attack. As he was fighting with the few people, Gu Qingzi's clear voice was heard, "Quick, catch!"

Gu Qingzi was currently engaged in a battle with one of them. She couldn't win with more people. With such a powerful helper, how could she be afraid?

Just as Shen Yi turned his head, a sickle flew towards him from the side. Shen Yi reached out to take it, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously raised.

So, that girl actually knew some martial arts. But, why were her fists so strange?

Their kung fu was far from the enemy's, and their kung fu was relatively light and nimble. They used their palms, which emphasized inner strength, while Gu Qingzi's kung fu techniques, every punch, and every blow were all solid.

Shen Yi was distracted for the first time during the fight, "What does she look like?" Shen Yi frowned.

Wolf! He was like a wild wolf that was ready to pounce. Although it wasn't appropriate to describe a girl as a wolf, that was the feeling Gu Qingzi gave him.

Her punches and kicks must be directed at that person, just like a wolf. Although it was revealed, her eyes still revealed a murderous intent.

Shen Yi chuckled. It was hard for him to imagine that he could use wolves to describe a young girl who was holding his arm and begging him just now.

Not long after, the ground was filled with the wails of agony.

"You all … Just you wait! " The leader, seeing that Shen Yi was good at martial arts, could only shakily open his mouth to demonstrate.

He kicked his men who were groaning on the ground, "Get out of my way now!"

The Gu family quickly returned to peace, leaving a mess behind. Gu Wei's legs were still soft, and his pants were wet.

"Thank you, big fellow!" Old Man Gu personally walked over and bowed to Shen Yi. Shen Yi reached out to help him up: "You and I are from the same village, there's no need to be so polite!"

"Since all of you are fine, then I will take my leave!" Shen Yi said as he prepared to leave.

Old Man Gu and Madame Gu thanked him again as they personally sent Shen Yi out the door.

"Qingzi, where did you get him from!" Madame Gu looked surprised.

Gu Qingzi frowned in confusion. "I accidentally ran over to his house, so he agreed to come over and help. What's the matter, Mother?"

Madame Gu shook her head. "I just didn't expect you to invite him!"

Gu Qingzi was even more confused. Could it be that Shen Yi had three heads and six arms? Was he really a big shot?

"He is a hunter who has been moved here only a few years ago. He is cold and detached, and when he sees us, he almost never greets us. I was just a little surprised, I thought he wouldn't care about this kind of stuff!"

"That is to say, mother, you don't even know his background?"

"That's right, we all feel that he's not like us ordinary families. I heard that he was injured when he moved here, and even his legs were broken!" The more Madame Gu talked, the more mysterious she became. "Someone said that he is a criminal wanted by the imperial government!"

"Enough, enough, stop making wild guesses. Young Master Shen might just look cold, but his heart is warm!" Old Man Gu impatiently waved his hand: "Since he can save our Gu family, then he definitely isn't a bad person. Hurry up and show yourself, take some gifts, and thank him properly!"
