Translator: 549690339
âArrange my meeting with Ming Jing for the evening of the 30th.â Ran Tengxiao hooked his lips lightly, smiling like a fox.
Ye Jian was dumbfounded for a moment, then thought and said, âMs. Ming Jing has declined all invitations, even from Madam Shen. Sheâs not giving anyone face. Iâm not sure about your chances...â Ye Jian was somewhat uncertain.
After all, Ming Jing was no ordinary socialite. She wasnât swayed by fame or fortune, nor was she tempted by beauty. It wouldnât be easy to impress her.
âSheâll come.â
She would reject everyone else but never him.
If she really had something to do with Xi Yu.
The train arrived at the station, and an old man in Tang attire got off the train with a young boy by his side. The boy was slim and of an athletic build, wearing a blue and white tracksuit with a backpack on his shoulders, looking like a junior high school student who had just left school.
The boy looked around excitedly, âThis is Jiangzhou, there are so many people, itâs even more prosperous than I imagined.â
At this moment, a thin, short man suddenly darted past them, and a middle-aged womanâs exaggerated screaming rang out behind him, âThief! Catch the thief!â
The boy stared at the thin man who quickly disappeared in the crowd, playfully hooked his lips, âStealing right under this young masterâs watch.â
He took a marble out of his pocket, aimed it at the manâs retreating figure, and threw it with a âwhoosh.â
Gaping crowds surrounded them, and the marble flew through the sea of people, accurately hitting the manâs knee. The man screamed in pain and crashed heavily to the ground.
The boy clapped his hands with a triumphant smile on his face and said to the old man, âMaster, Iâm off to do some heroic deeds.â
He dashed out like an arrow, his speed as fast as lightning, and within the blink of an eye, he was next to the man, stepping on his back and coldly snorting, âHand over the stolen goods.â
The old man, seeing this, shook his head with a smile.
The thief glared ferociously, suddenly pulled out a dagger, and tried to stab the boy in the chest. The boy coldly snorted, grabbed the thiefâs wrist, and gently twisted. A pig-slaughtering scream could be heard, and the dagger fell to the ground, the manâs face pale as paper.
âTrying to play tricks in front of this young master is courting death.â He twisted the thiefâs arm behind his back, and the man screamed continuously for mercy.
âWhere are the stolen goods?â
The trembling thief handed them over, and the boy coldly snorted, âBe a good person in the future and donât steal anything again.â
At this moment, the security guards rushed over and caught the man on both sides, and the victim also caught up.
âSister, quickly check if anything is missing?â The boy handed the wallet to the middle-aged woman with a playful smile.
âShe won first place in the horse race this year, bringing huge benefits to the Horse Association. Her contribution is undeniable, and your cousin should really thank her.â
âItâs not just that, I want her to be my cousinâs wife too.â
Unexpectedly, Ran Qingâs expression changed, and she coldly scolded: âThis is absolutely ridiculous! Your cousinâs marriage isnât a joke.â
âWhatâs the big deal? As long as my cousin likes her, thatâs enough. Besides, Ming Jing is a perfect match for my cousin. If anything, itâs my cousin who would be at a disadvantage.â
âNow youâre being ridiculous too.â Ran Qing glared at her.
Zhao Qin couldnât stand Ran Qingâs glare and quickly got up. She looked around and found Ye Shuang asking: âHave you seen Xi Yu?â
Ye Shuang shook her head: âMiss, Xi Yu hasnât arrived yet.â
Zhao Qin sighed. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her calf, and a marble rolled to her feet.
Zhao Qin picked up the marble and suddenly turned her head to see a young boy approaching with a grin, palms open: âSister, can you give my marble back, please?â
Zhao Qin narrowed her eyes: âSo itâs you, a little brat, who shot me with the marble?â
The young boy giggled: âSister, I didnât do it on purpose.â
âIf you say it wasnât on purpose, should I just believe you?â
Ye Shuang quickly stepped in front of the boy, âIâm sorry, Miss. He is my junior brother, Ye Feng, who is young and naughty. Please forgive him this time.â
She then glared at the young boy and sternly said, âWhy havenât you apologized to the Miss yet?â
Zhao Qin examined the marble with a cold smile: âSo, this is the once-in-a-century genius from Xuanjing Sect â your little brother Ye Feng?â
Ye Shuangâs heart tightened, realizing that the Miss was angry.
Ye Feng jumped out from behind Ye Shuang, smiling brightly: âThatâs right! The genius from Xuanjing Sect is me. Miss, can you return my marble?â
âA small punk like you, brimming with arrogance, is actually a genius? Has Xuanjing Sect run out of people?â Zhao Qin scoffed.
Ye Shuangâs face turned red, âMiss, my little brother has been spoiled by our Master and me, so heâs become very unruly. Please let him off the hook this time.â
âAlright, if you can win against Xi Yu, Iâll return your marble. If not, youâll have to kneel down and kowtow three times to apologize to me.â
Ye Feng grinned playfully. However, a hint of coldness flashed through his pitch-black eyes. At that moment, both Ye Shuang and Zhao Qin felt a shiver down their spines, as if a cold wind had blown by.
âXi Yu has arrived.â Someone shouted, and Zhao Qinâs eyes sparkled with excitement. She immediately spun around, no longer caring about the little punk.
