Chapter 189 Moon Shadow
"Boy, do you know who we are? See if you are a local, go and ask around!" The big man was not in a hurry, but put on a condescending attitude, waiting for you to worship him.
"They are one of the two largest families in Desert City, the Shen family." The little beggar hiding behind Feng Huan said in a low voice.
"Oh, you knew about this, and you still went to provoke them, how could you be so brave!" Feng Huan was a little puzzled after hearing this. He was just a little beggar who would steal a few steamed buns to fill his stomach, so how could he provoke these people to chase him?
"Boy, get out of the way. I don't want others to say that our Shen family is bullying others. This little beggar stole our things. We must take him back." The big man was aggressive, but he did not take any radical actions. Firstly, they could not sense Feng Huan's cultivation and were not sure whether they could take him down. More importantly, after Chen Mingdong was killed while rectifying the three major families in the desert city, although the Shen and Dong families still dominated, their style of doing things was also restrained.
"He's just a little beggar. What could he have stolen from you? Tell me how much it's worth. I'll pay you back on his behalf."
"you……"
"From the looks of you, you seem unable to make the decision. Let someone who can make the decision come. Find me at Swallow Tower. I will stay there for a day. Don't worry, I won't run away." Tong Huanfeng and the other big men ignored them and left with the little beggar.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"We can't pursue the matter in public, and this kid seems unfathomable, so I'm afraid he'll be hard to deal with. Let's go back and ask the steward, and he'll make the decision. You two just stay and keep an eye on them, and don't let them get away."
Feng Huan brought the little beggar to the largest restaurant in the city and ordered a table full of delicious dishes.
"Eat! I know you're hungry!"
The little beggar hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. After a while, he ate everything in a flash and said cautiously, "Thank you, sir!"
"Now that you are full, shouldn't you tell me what you stole that caused so many people to chase after a little beggar like you?"
"I didn't... I didn't steal their things, it's just... I happened to see something I shouldn't have seen, and they just wanted to kill me to silence me." The little beggar said in a low voice with flickering eyes.
"What did you see? Tell me!"
"Aren't you afraid that they will kill you as well as you to silence you?"
"Don't be afraid. It's no use being afraid. They will definitely think you told me everything."
"I... I just saw a young master from the Shen family secretly kidnapping a girl. I don't know anything else." The little beggar lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking.
"Another scum like this appears! Does this Desert City have any traditions?" Feng Huan couldn't help but think of the young master of the Lu family who was killed by him.
"Where do you live? Is there anyone in your family? Why have you become a beggar?" Feng Huan shook his head and stopped paying attention, but spoke to the little beggar.
"I have no home and no family!" Hearing Feng Huan's question, the little beggar's face was full of sadness, depression, and even a little hatred on his face.
“Then do you want to practice?” When they first met, Feng Huan could sense that the little beggar’s six innate orifices were opened, and he already had the potential to be a genius in the Demon Sealing Continent, so he wanted to recruit him into the genius group of the Holy Hand Hall.
"Of course I do. Can I...?" The little beggar was immediately excited when he heard this. He stared at Feng Huan with his big eyes and expectant eyes.
"Of course, I will provide you with training resources, but from now on, you must not betray me, otherwise I will never show mercy." Feng Huan's words were cold. This was his only request, he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by his own people again.
"I swear, I will never betray you, sir. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." The little beggar was startled and immediately swore his loyalty.
However, in such an urgent situation, how many people can really keep their vows? It is just like the vows between men and women, which are just to please the other party for a while.
Feng Huan didn't care whether the oath was true or not, he just wanted to make his attitude clear. If the little beggar really betrayed him in the future, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt when he took action.
"By the way, what's your name?" Feng Huan asked on the way to Swallow Tower.
"I don't have a name, and I didn't need one before. Everyone called me a little beggar. Why don't you give me a name, young master?"
"I'm not very good at naming, so you should choose one yourself!"
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the Swallow Tower Desert City branch. Feng Huan had already told Hua Luzhu about what was happening here, so everything had been arranged for them.
In the reception hall, the owner of the building owned by Hua Luzhu's uncle was entertaining a middle-aged man. Standing behind the middle-aged man was the leading burly man who had previously chased the little beggar.
"You are from the Shen family, right? From now on, he is mine, so please don't make things difficult for him anymore. As for the little things in your Shen family, I won't care, and I promise not to spread it." After coming in, Feng Huan didn't say anything extra and made it clear directly.
"Besides, now that I know about this, it's useless even if you kill him. Just come to me if you have anything to say!"
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The middle-aged man had already learned from the host that Feng Huan's identity was probably not someone they could afford to offend. So he was very humble and said, "We were wrong about this matter, please don't take offense, young master!"
"Okay, that's it!" Feng Huan was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore, and turned around and went to the inner courtyard with the little beggar.
"Go wash up and change your clothes first!"
"Yes, sir!" The little beggar looked down at himself and happily followed the servant.
……
"Son!"
An hour later, Feng Huan was meditating with his eyes closed in the yard when a clear voice rang in his ears. He opened his eyes and saw a little girl of about eleven or twelve standing cautiously at the gate of the yard, timidly wanting to come in but hesitating.
"It turns out to be a little girl!" Feng Huan took a closer look and found that it was the little beggar, "Come in!"
"Sir, I have thought of my name!" The little beggar said impatiently after he came in. "I heard that master call you Master Yue, so I will take your last name. From now on, I will be called Yueying, and I will be Master's shadow for the rest of my life."
"Yueying! As long as you like it, I won't stay here for too long. I will arrange for them to send you to the imperial capital. After arriving at the imperial capital, Hall Master Hua will arrange your training." Feng Huan briefly introduced the situation of the Holy Hand Hall, as well as some subsequent matters.
"Sir, I..." Yueying felt a little disappointed after hearing this. She thought Feng Huan could keep her by his side, but she didn't expect that she would have to face it alone in the blink of an eye. Although she had survived for so many years outside and was not afraid, she always hoped that someone would protect her from the wind and rain in her heart.
"But you don't have to worry. The owner of Huatang is very nice. You are the one I sent there. She will make good arrangements and won't let you suffer any grievances." Feng Huan felt that she was a little resistant, so he explained again. "You must practice well. When I return to the imperial capital, I will test you."
"Yes, sir, I will work harder and will not let you down." Although she felt a little disappointed, Yueying adjusted herself immediately. Having survived at the bottom of society for so many years, she would not be as delicate and fragile as a flower in a greenhouse.
"I must practice hard, so that one day I can stand beside the young master!" At the same time, she also set a small goal for herself in her heart.
The next day, Yanzilou specially arranged personnel to take the Meng-Mie Bird to send Yueying to the imperial capital. Feng Huan was also preparing to leave the Desert City. He came here just passing by, and meeting Yueying was just an accident.
After leaving the city, continue heading west and you will soon reach the border of the Great Mongolian Kingdom.
"I don't know what sin I committed. Such a beautiful girl died in just a few days!"
"Do you think Master Shen Hu has a health problem? Besides practicing, he plays with women every day. Won't his body be drained?"
"The most terrifying thing is how come these women he played with died within two days, and their deaths were so ugly."
"If you don't want to die, watch your mouth, bury the body quickly and go back home as soon as possible. Don't think about, ask or say anything else."
Not long after leaving the city, Feng Huan heard a group of people talking in the woods.
Feng Huan frowned, and suddenly remembered that the Sixth Young Master of the Lu Family was in the same situation. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, after those people left, Feng Huan came to the place where they had buried the bodies.
"Sure enough, the causes of death are very similar, all are shriveled like this." After examining several corpses, Feng Huan was sure that this Young Master Hu was exactly the same as the Sixth Young Master of the Lu Family.
"It seems that we have to go and take a look. The Lu family has been destroyed, so how come such a person appears again? Is there something strange here?" Feng Huan originally thought that the Shen family's abduction of women was just an ordinary act of aristocratic families, and he didn't want to care about it. There are too many such things, and if they don't appear in front of him, he won't spend time to take care of them. But in this situation, he has no way to just ignore it.
