The old monk also noticed something unusual. He looked at Mu Xiyue carefully and said, "Female donor, if people's hearts turn to good, heaven will bless them; if people's hearts turn to evil, heaven will take them away."

Mu Xiyue sneered, "Heaven will take it away? Then why hasn't Heaven taken away such evil people? Old monk, do you believe this nonsense?"

The man called Master Li in the crowd started cursing and then begged for mercy. Now all he could make was a hum. Xiao Tao stopped only after Mu Xiyue called on him.

"Okay, if you keep hitting him we can bury him directly in this mountain." He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiaotao.

Xiao Tao took the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and said to the man lying on the ground, "How dare you tease our young lady? How can you be so careless? Get out!"

The two followers just watched their young master being beaten but could not move. They were stunned to see a woman beating people so brutally. At this time, Mu Xiyue had already untied the two men, but they didn't know it and were still staring blankly.

The man on the ground could no longer roar. His voice trembled as he said, "You two bastards, why don't you come and help me? I'm going to tell my father when I get back that you watched me get beaten up without doing anything."

The two young monks found they could move and hurriedly retreated to the old monk's side. Mu Xiyue curled her lips and smiled, "Old monk, if God can punish the wicked, will there still be wicked people in this world? Don't talk about fate. It's also his fate that the bastard teased me today. Understand? Xiaotao, let's go."

The two turned and walked out of the temple. Behind them, there was another "Amitabha". Xiao Tao curled her lips and said, "If a monk shows kindness to a bad person, will the Bodhisattva not care?"

When Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao came down from the mountain, they found that someone had been following them. They turned around and saw that it was the servant who served the dishes to the man. The servant was frightened when he saw Mu Xiyue looking at him and quickly hid in the crowd.

Mu Xiyue didn't care. The carriage that brought them here was still waiting at the foot of the mountain. They had agreed when they came here that the carriage would be waiting at the foot of the mountain and they would be given double the fare on the return trip.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the servant who had followed them all the way suddenly rode in front of them on horseback. Six or seven men were standing on one side of the city gate, all holding swords in their hands. When they saw the servant running up to them, he pointed at Mu Xiyue and said a few words to the six men.

It was obvious that it was the man who was beaten in the temple. Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao got off the car, gave the fare to the driver and asked him to go first. She didn't want to implicate innocent people.

There were many people coming and going at the city gate. Mu Xiyue was afraid that using her supernatural powers would hurt the passers-by, so she asked Xiaotao to try not to use her supernatural powers for group attacks.

The coachman didn't know how the two girls got off the carriage. They had been told to take them to an inn in the city. He was just about to ask if they should wait for a while when he saw the men with swords walking towards the two girls. The coachman hurriedly drove the carriage into the city gate and hid in a corner to see what was happening.

The six men with swords were all skilled in martial arts. Mu Xiyue called out Feng Jiu and Feng Shi, and Feng Jiu and Feng Shi flashed out and stood in front of the two men.

Mu Xiyue curled her lips and said, "Leave two people for us to practice with."

Neither Mu Xiyue nor Xiaotao possessed internal energy. Mu Xiyue's close combat skills were taught by a teammate from her previous life, a renowned Sanda instructor. Five years of apocalyptic battles had conditioned her to employ deadly moves. Xiaotao trained with Mu Xiyue for over a year, and while she wasn't as skilled as she, her abilities were definitely comparable.

The martial arts skills of these six thugs were really not that good, and Feng Jiu and Feng Shi knocked down four of them in less than half a minute.

Neither Mu Xiyue nor Xiao Tao used their special abilities, relying on hand-to-hand combat for only a minute before they defeated the opponent. The fight was truly unsatisfying. Mu Xiyue thought that she would find Xiao Yibai's men to practice with more when she had the chance. Without her special abilities, her skills would be far inferior to Feng Jiu and Feng Shi's.

The servant and another who looked like the leader of the six thugs didn't dare to step forward. Mu Xiyue just glanced at them coldly and waved at Feng Jiufeng Shi, "Let's go."

When they returned to the house, Xiao Yibai had already returned. Mu Xiyue told him what had happened today.

"I heard that the county magistrate here is the uncle of this Mr. Li. I think Mr. Li and the county magistrate may come to cause trouble again, so I want to let you know first."

Mu Xiyue did not hide from people when she returned to the house. She knew that someone was following her when she came back, but with Xiao Yibai's identity, she was not worried that the county governor would dare to do anything to them.

However, they did not expect the county governor's men to arrive so quickly. Mu Xiyue and Xiao Yibai were still having dinner when the house was surrounded and there were yamen runners knocking on the door outside.

At Xiao Yibai's signal, the housekeeper opened the door and let in a group of yamen runners. Mr. Li's servant said to the leading yamen runner, "It was these two women who injured you."

The leading yamen runner waved his hand to his subordinates behind him and said, "Take these people away."

Seeing that her young lady ignored these people, Xiaotao ate quietly, since Prince Jin was there anyway.

Xiao Yibai picked up a piece of fish for Mu Xiyue, without even looking at the yamen runner, and just said something lightly.

"Tell Wang Jinming to come see me."

Although the leading yamen runner had never seen Xiao Yibai, he knew that Prince Jin had arrived in Yunyou City, and today the county magistrate accompanied Prince Jin to the outside of the city to inspect the people's conditions.

Hearing him call himself "Prince," he was startled and asked in a low voice, "Are you His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"

Xiao Yibai spat out a word coldly, "Get out!"

The yamen runner didn't dare to say anything more. What if it really was Prince Jin? Then he would be finished for his previous insolence.

The yamen runner hurriedly led his men out of the house and hurried back to report.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the county magistrate to arrive.

Xiao Yibai asked Mu Xiyue to go and meet him together.

In the main hall of the front yard, Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue sat at the top seats, Qiyun and Xiaotao stood on both sides, and the housekeeper led the county governor in.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, and greets...this young lady!"

Mu Xiyue leaned lazily against the back of the chair without saying a word, and Xiao Yibai didn't call him to get up, his voice was cold.

"Wang Jinming, what is the crime of molesting a decent woman?"

Wang Jinming's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew at a glance that this girl had an extraordinary relationship with Prince Jin. That rascal had teased the girl and even molested Prince Jin's people. He, as her uncle, was afraid that he would be implicated as well.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I hope you can give Li Zi a chance to mend his ways."

Qi Yun scolded, "Didn't Lord Wang hear the prince's question clearly?"

Wang Jinming stammered, "My Lord, molesting a decent woman is punishable by twenty strokes of the cane and two years' imprisonment."

Xiao Yibai took a sip of tea and said coldly, "What crime is there in molesting my fiancée? Wang Jinming, I hope you will enforce the law impartially. How many illegal things has your nephew done that require me to provide evidence?"

At this time, Wang Jinming felt that his official career had come to an end. He even sent people to arrest someone for molesting the future Princess Jin.

Wang Jinming's voice was trembling. "I will enforce the law impartially and will not show any leniency."

Mu Xiyue said calmly, "This place is only half a day's journey from the capital. They dare to act so presumptuously near the imperial city. It seems that they must have been indulged by Lord Wang on a daily basis."

Wang Jinming dared not argue and could only kowtow and admit his mistake. "I know I am wrong. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. I will punish Li Zi severely."

Xiao Yibai said, "Wang Jinming, I want to see the results tomorrow afternoon. Get lost!"

"Yes, I will obey your order." Wang Jinming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and staggered out.
