The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

When he came back, he saw Ruan Xiaojiu touching his chin and looking at him with a squinting face. The man felt a little uncomfortable and coughed dryly, feeling a little awkward. He couldn't say the word "thank you" and had never said thank you to anyone.

But the girl helped him, it was a fact, and after thinking for a while she said: "What do you want? In return, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Repay? You want to repay me? Ruan Xiaojiu pointed at himself.

The man nodded suspiciously, not knowing why the girl reacted this way.

Are you sure you want to repay me, no matter what conditions I propose?

After being asked three questions in a row, the man immediately became alert. It was no wonder that he reacted a little too strongly. Ruan Xiaojiu's expression just now seemed strange no matter how he looked at it. He was afraid that she would dig a hole for him and bury him in the end. He had to be on guard against this.

He put his half-clenched fist to his lips, thought for a moment, and realized that there was no loophole in his words. Then he said: As long as it is not too excessive and is within my ability, you can ask for it.

"Oh?" Ruan Xiaojiu felt a little disappointed. "The main thing is, if you can do it, I can do it too, so what you can give me is really limited."

The man didn't know what to say. He was not familiar with Qin State and didn't know the difference between the materials here and his own country, so he could only remain silent.

Otherwise, you can give the Fire Butterfly to me, I really like it, Ruan Xiaojiu suddenly said.

The man's face instantly turned dark, and he said that this girl was weird. She had not given up yet and was still thinking about his Fire Butterfly. He directly refused and said: I can't give you the Fire Butterfly, it is his natal Gu.

How about you be my servant, always stay by my side and serve me, Ruan Xiaojiu said jokingly.

You..., the man was angered by Ruan Xiaojiu's words again.

Seeing that the man's face turned blue with anger again, Ruan Xiaojiu was satisfied.

I looked at the sky and it was getting late. I wanted to go back and eat. I was really hungry.

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the girl was just joking.

Suddenly he remembered that the girl had helped him, but he didn't know the girl's name yet.

Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu was about to leave, he hurriedly said: Little girl, what is your name? How can I find you in the future?

The Ninth Prince of Qin, Ruan Xiaojiu left after leaving these words.

The man looked at the receding figure and murmured softly, "The Ninth Prince!"

He didn't withdraw his gaze until he could no longer see Ruan Xiaojiu. He used his lightness skills, turned around and left the place, returning to Yaowang Valley. As soon as he walked into his yard, he saw Chen Ying'er pacing back and forth at the door, waiting for him.

Chen Ying'er heard the sound and turned around to see Di Jingchen coming back from outside. She went up to him and asked, "What happened? Why did you leave without saying hello?"

Nothing, the voice was indifferent and no emotion could be heard.

"What's up?" Di Jingchen asked.

Oh, it’s nothing. I just saw that you were not in the room and thought something happened to you. I’m glad you’re okay.

The day after tomorrow is the day when the poison will take effect. I would like to ask, when will the four Dharma protectors around you arrive?

The medicine you are taking is still missing one ingredient. I want to go to the mountain behind the imperial city tomorrow, but there are wild wolves there. Can you ask your guardian to protect me and go with me?

They will be here tomorrow morning. I'll ask them to come find you.

That’s fine. Looking at Di Jingchen’s indifferent attitude, Chen Ying’er felt a little disappointed.

Do you have anything else to say? Di Jingchen asked.

It’s nothing. Since the protector won’t be here until tomorrow, I’ll leave first. I’ll call you at dinner time.

Di Jingchen nodded slightly and turned to go into the house.

Ruan Xiaojiu returned to the Imperial City. The guards at the gate were still standing there diligently. There were still many people around. The panic caused by the poisonous insects was almost over. Those who had been harmed by the insects were not seriously injured and would be fine after a few days of recuperation at home.

There were some troubles with several people who were poisoned to death by the Gu King's poison powder. Their families cried beside the bodies of the deceased and refused to take the bodies home for burial no matter what.

There was another person here who was beaten to death by Ruan Xiaojiu with a palm. He was also crying and wanted to report to the police, and insisted that the Ninth Prince give an explanation. Many people at the city gate saw that it was Ruan Xiaojiu who beat this commoner to death, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

Ruan Xiaojiu was forced to stop at the city gate and had a headache.

And there was the culprit, the woman lying there half-dead and groaning. There were many onlookers, and some kind-hearted people who were unaware of the situation came forward to show their concern. Ruan Xiaojiu was almost moved to tears by the stupidity of these ordinary people. They were really a bunch of idiots who didn't recognize each other and didn't know who was real or fake.

The family members of the deceased bravely surrounded Ruan Xiaojiu and came forward to ask for an explanation. One of the women, who was obviously the deceased's daughter-in-law, said: "Ninth Prince, you can't just kill someone and leave him alone. Our family has old and young people, and we rely on the head of the household to work for support. Now he has been beaten to death by the Ninth Prince. How can we live?"

"Ninth Prince, please be kind and give us a way to live, I beg you," he knelt down first and kowtowed. The old men, women and children next to him also knelt down and demanded that Ruan Xiaojiu give them compensation.

It’s not that great. No matter what this woman said, it was just for money. She wanted more money from Ruan Xiaojiu so that she could live a better life!

After all, he was a prince. Killing someone and paying for it was only natural. It was impossible to exchange a life for another, so asking for some money wasn't too much, was it? That's what they thought.

Ruan Xiaojiu knew that he was in the wrong, so he took out a few silver notes from his sleeve, totaling several thousand taels, and gave them all to the woman's family.

The woman and her family received the money, thanked the man profusely, and were very happy. They carried the dead man home.

After resolving this matter, Ruan Xiaojiu was about to leave, but was blocked by a larger group of people.

These people are also family members of the deceased, but they were poisoned to death by the Gu King's poison powder.

After seeing what just happened, this group of people also wanted to ask Ruan Xiaojiu to pay compensation. Everyone knew that the Ninth Prince was a man of his word and had plenty of money.

Looking at this group of ordinary people, Ruan Xiaojiu's face suddenly darkened.

He glanced coldly at everyone surrounding her and said: What, you also want to ask me for money?

Someone recklessly replied: Ninth Prince, we are all common people in the imperial city. You can't favor one over the other. You have already given them silver notes, so it doesn't matter if a few more of our families are given money.

We are also the family of the deceased! Ninth Prince, please be kind and help us. Our lives are hard, money is hard to earn, and now the pillar of the family has passed away. What are we going to do in the future?

Ruan Xiaojiu suppressed his annoyance and looked at the dead people. He thought that although he did not beat those people to death, they were also victims of this incident, which was indeed a bit unfair.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaojiu sighed inwardly. Never mind. He had money anyway, so it was no big deal to give them some money as compensation.

He took out another dozen silver bills from his sleeve and threw them to them. This dozen was worth several thousand taels.

Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu take out another banknote and throw it out, before it even hit the ground, the group of people immediately started to scramble for it.
