"Stop!" Qingsheng shouted at the reckless man from a few steps away.

The brute was beating his wife with his head down when he heard someone shouting. He tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked over at her sinisterly. "When you're full, go away. Don't provoke me or I'll beat you up too," he said threateningly.

"In broad day and night, if you dare to disregard the law and beat a woman again, we will immediately take you to see the authorities!" Qingsheng showed no fear.

The brute put down his hand and walked over to Qingsheng, swaying with each step. "The law? I was ripped off badly in business, and I didn't see the law backing me up? Today, I'll show you what the law means!"

He rushed towards Qingsheng like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Qingsheng dodged quickly and he missed.

As he turned and charged, Qingsheng grabbed his arm. The two engaged in a struggle. As they clashed, Qingsheng thrust his leg between his calves, then adjusted his arm and, with a sudden force, thrust his back. The man lost his balance and stumbled, falling backwards.

Although Qingsheng is still a teenager, he is obviously strong and has a solid foundation in martial arts from his childhood.

Qingsheng took a step forward, clamped his legs against the man's hips, and raised his fist as if to strike. The man quickly shielded his head and face with his arms.

"No need to fight him!" Ran Mo shouted from the side. Although she also wanted to beat that guy up, she was also afraid that Qing Sheng would get into trouble.

Qingsheng's fist stopped in mid-air, his eyes wide with anger as he asked, "Do you accept this? Do you dare to hit your family again?"

The man was panting heavily, but he refused to give in. At this moment, the woman from earlier crawled over, lying on the ground, crying to Qingsheng, "Sir, please let my husband go. He hit me because he was so angry. My family is really in trouble."

The people around her tutted. She was beaten so badly by her husband, yet she still defended him in every possible way.

Ran Mo and Qing Sheng were also very angry. The man was even more ungrateful and said stubbornly, "You deserve to be beaten! Do you think you are the imperial concubine and you can't be beaten..."

Everyone was shocked by his words. He really dared to say anything.

Ran Mo heard this and an idea flashed through his mind. He stepped forward and scolded him, "How dare you! Aren't you afraid of losing your head for saying such nonsense?"

The man was also a little confused, panicking about his careless words, and quickly defended himself, "I was just talking nonsense. Please be kind and just treat it as a fart."

"Today, I'll put you on record for slander and disobedience!" Ran Mo made up a charge to scare him and said sternly, "If you dare to speak nonsense or assault your family again, I'll make you guilty of both. I'll arrest you and bring you before the authorities for severe punishment!"

Qingsheng nodded approvingly, pressed the man's shoulder hard, and asked, "Did you hear that? Do you dare to do it again?"

Seeing that he could not resist the public anger, the man immediately collapsed and begged for mercy, "Gentlemen, I won't dare to do it again. Please let me go this time." His wife was also begging for mercy with tears in her eyes.

Qingsheng and Ranmo exchanged a glance and nodded. Qingsheng then let go of the guy and stood up.

The man got up from the ground in a panic, bowed slightly to the people around him, and went home in shame. His wife followed him back.

At this time, everyone around gave thumbs up to Qingsheng and Ranmo, praising them for their courage to stop the violence.

Ran Mo and Qing Sheng smiled at each other, feeling that they had done something very worthwhile.

Wei Hua praised beside him, "Master Qingsheng, I didn't expect you to have such great skills. You're truly amazing!"

Qingsheng smiled and said, "You're flattered! Seeing injustice and helping others is a true man!" He turned and clasped his fists around him, "It's only with everyone's combined strength that we can intimidate him."

The mother smiled approvingly, looking at Qingsheng, then at her two beautiful daughters, as if she was thinking about something.

Ran Mo gazed with admiration at the handsome and righteous man before her, her heart racing. He was incredibly skilled and handsome too. If she was skilled in literature and he was skilled in martial arts, they would be a perfect match.

Oh my god, what am I thinking about? Her face turned slightly red.

The crowd gradually dispersed. Qingsheng was also about to leave. His mother nodded at Ranmo, "Mo'er, go see the young master off."

Qingsheng looked at her with a smile. She nodded shyly. After watching her mother and Weihua walk away, Ranmo turned and said, "Let's go, young hero."

Qingsheng smiled and said, "I don't deserve it. You performed very well today."

"This kind of thing isn't uncommon, but unfortunately few people step up to the plate, allowing the bad guys to succeed. Without your courage and sense of justice, I'm afraid I'd be better off staying out of it."

Qingsheng reached out and gently scratched her nose, then leaned over to her, raised his eyebrows, and said playfully, "Are you impressed by my handsomeness?"

Huh? Ran Mo was stunned. How could this ancient young man speak in such a modern tone? Could he have also traveled through time?

Seeing her dazed, Qingsheng scratched the back of his head and said, "Okay, I shouldn't have boasted." He leaned close to her ear and said, "You and Weihua, brother and sister, are truly a perfect match."

Ran Mo knew he was just saying it casually, but after hearing this, he felt that he had lost his compliments on his bravery. So he said coldly, "Don't make random comparisons. Here, 'bi ren' is an insult."

This time it was Qingsheng's turn to be stunned. "Huh? Isn't that a compliment in the dictionary?" he asked, looking aggrieved.

Ran Mo told him seriously, "Many words and phrases have one meaning at one time and place, but have another meaning here and now." Seeing Qing Sheng's puzzled look, he added, "Let me give you a few examples."

Ran Mo explained to him through words and gestures. For example, chrysanthemum and camellia were just flowers before, but now when people say that a person has the aroma of chrysanthemum and tea, they actually mean that the person is pretentious and scheming.

"Hmm. So are there any words that seem bad but actually have a good meaning?"

"Yes, for example, 'dead ghost' sounds like an insult, but it's a term of endearment between husband and wife."

"Oh, it's a pity this one doesn't sound very good. Anything else?"

"Little White Lotus! This term was once used to describe someone pretending to be innocent, but I still quite like it. It feels very elegant and pure."

"I like this too! How about I call you Little White Lotus from now on?"

Ran Mo was speechless, facing that incredibly handsome face. She wanted to find out if the owner of that face truly had good intentions or was just playing around with her.

Qingsheng felt a little embarrassed by her direct gaze and quickly gave her a thumbs-up. "You know a lot. I'm grateful for your guidance!"

Ran Mo retracted his expression and said, "Let's move forward." The two of them walked towards the open space in the distance.

"Judging from your skills, do you have any experience in martial arts?" Ran Mo said as he looked at his figure.

Qingsheng raised his arms with a hint of pride, "That's right, I've been practicing martial arts since I was young. My father plans to train me to become a general in the future."

"Uh, fighting and killing isn't a good idea," Ran Mo muttered. "Yeah?" Qing Sheng looked at her with a bit of confusion.

Ranmo suddenly realized that he couldn't always use modern thinking to apply to the concepts of this era. Otherwise, he would make a fool of himself and make people think that he was stupid.

"Ah, I mean, the world is at peace now, so why would there be so many wars to fight? You can rely on your good figure, oh, good skills, and do more things to fight violence and protect the people, just like what you did today." Ran Mo felt that his words were perfect.

"That's true. However, the stability of the people still requires the defense of the country. Moreover, the situation on the border is unpredictable, so we must always pay attention to any signs of unpredictable changes." Qingsheng's words were righteous and far-sighted, which made Ranmo feel superficial.

"Okay, our future general, I wish you success soon." Ran Mo said in a controlled tone.

Qingsheng chuckled foolishly. Ranmo suddenly had an idea and wanted to tease him again, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have abdominal muscles?"
