Chapter 67: Get out of Here

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan saw Mountain Qiao once before when he went to see Lin Qingye at night. He felt surprised then, but not as much as he did now.

The top of the mountain was a busy village with beautiful views and lots of people like the ancient town he went to visit before.

The male and the female, the old and the young, they all wore a peaceful smile. It was calm. The vendors were hawking their wares in the streets.

It was only when the three of them showed up that those people started to look at them with caution like they were afraid that they three would do something to destroy their peaceful life.

Ke Ruan rubbed his nose. Now he knew everything. Did this have anything to do with stealing girls from people or committing crimes of all kinds?

If so, those people should be alert to Qi Cheng instead of them. They should welcome them with cheers and excitement.

“What are you doing here?” Someone was asking, followed by harsh accusation, “Tell you what, don’t hurt our chief. None of you government officials are good.”

A’Lan’s eyes were filled with anger.

“Young Lady, we’re not…”

Ke Ruan wanted to explain but they didn’t listen.

“If you dare to touch our chief, people in Mountain Qiao would do everything to haunt you down.”

“That’s right!”

“You are all animals!”

“Get lost!”

Lin Qingye stood next to Ke Ruan, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

“Animals!”

……

Someone threw an egg on Ke Ruan’s face. Ke Ruan opened his eyes wide open, forgetting to dodging back.

What did he do? Why were they all targeting him? This was not fair.

Lin Qingye reached out to catch the egg, glancing at the people who threw it.

It was a woman. She shrank his neck under his stare.

“So what? Are you trying to hurt us? ”

“Get out of here. Stay away from us.”

……

Lin Qingye’s actions seemed to have completely irritate them. They all came forward with all kinds of things in their hands, as if they were trying to fight for their lives.

Lin Qingye frowned and grabbed his sword. He would never do anything to hurt innocent people but he would never allow anyone to hurt Ke Ruan either.

Ke Ruan regretted so much about his decision of taking a walk outside. He should have stayed in the room and waited until he was fully recovered and when things were clear, he would just leave.

Seeing that Ke Ruan was being upset, Si Yuhan tightened his grip.

Ke Ruan thought that Si Yuhan was afraid, so he quickly pulled him closer and let him lean against him, then said in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. General Lin’s here. There’s nothing to be worried about.”

Si Yuhan pressed his lips. He was a little angry about Ke Ruan’s subconscious reliance on Lin Qingye. He looked at his childlike hands and started to hate it.

“The chief is coming,” someone shouted from the crowd.

The crowd subconsciously looked in the direction of Qi Cheng. It was his classic beard look that Ke Ruan saw first. Ke Ruan was a little confused about why he dressed him up like that when he was actually pretty good-looking.

As soon as Qi Cheng showed up, everyone went silent. They all looked at Qi Cheng like watching the team leader.

“Chief. You know that those government officials were all mean and evil. Why do you have to keep them here?”

“Yes, Chief. Chase them away. They were meant to haunt us down. You shouldn’t let them stay.”

“That’s right, Chief. Please get rid of them. They are bad, bad people. They wanna destroy Mountain Qiao.”

Qi Cheng waved his hand, then everyone just stopped talking. He glanced over Ke Ruan. The hatred and killing intent made Ke Ruan’s heart stopped for a moment.

If it wasn’t for brother Qingye, he would had already killed him. There was no chance for him to tolerate his stepping into his place. He dreamt of killing him every single night.

Lin Qingye stepped aside and blocked his gaze on Ke Ruan.

Qi Cheng clenched his fists and looked at his people and said, “Everybody, just relax. As long as I’m here, Mountain Qiao would be the safest place in the world. They’re not government officials, believe me, they are just a bunch of good-for-nothing. I’ll send them away in a few days.”

In Mountain Qiao, Qi Cheng was like the god. Everybody listened to him.

Since he said so, they certainly chose to believe him.

“Please, everyone. Just go back to what you do.”

They finally let go of Ke Ruan because of Qi Cheng’s guarantee. However, there were still a few people who looked at them in a hostilel way.

Ke Ruan let out a sigh of relief. But when Qi Cheng approached him, he was being anxious again.
