Emperor Qiankun

Soon, Su Yaoyue and Li Muqiu also came downstairs one after another.

The two of them immediately spotted Li Qingyuan sitting at the table, so they quickly walked up to him and sat down beside him.

As soon as she sat down, Su Yaoyue quickly gave Li Qingyuan a look full of doubt, as if asking, "Why don't you leave?"

Li Qingyuan gave her a comforting look, telling her to wait patiently.

"What's wrong with you two today? You're so mysterious."

Li Muqiu looked at the strange interaction between the two and couldn't help but ask, with curiosity in his eyes becoming stronger.

"It's okay. He just asked me to pay for the meal."

Su Yaoyue thought for a moment and took the lead in explaining, with a faint smile on her face, trying to cover up the somewhat unnatural atmosphere.

After Su Yaoyue finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the counter to pay the bill.

"Uh......"

Li Qingyuan was speechless for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Little ghost, why are you still asking me to pay the bill? Are you out of money? If you are out of money, you can tell me. I still have plenty here."

Li Muqiu spoke to Li Qingyuan with a look of reproach on his face, his tone sounding like he was scolding an ignorant younger brother.

The conversation at their table was overheard by a big man at the next table.

The big man, with a playful look on his face, turned to the woman beside him and said teasingly, "Hey, lady, look at this guy, he's a poor bastard, and he has to let his senior sister pay the bill! Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's really a gigolo."

After hearing what the big man said, the woman covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled. She gave him a coquettish look and said, "Huh, you only know how to make sarcastic remarks. Although I don't have money, maybe I have other outstanding qualities."

"Besides, you probably won't have a chance to eat this gigolo. Look at how handsome she is!"

As she spoke, the woman cast an admiring glance at Li Qingyuan and shouted, "Young man, you are so lucky!"

After shouting, she even gave Li Qingyuan a thumbs up.

Li Qingyuan was so upset that he didn't know how to respond. He just felt his face getting hot and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

......

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door of the restaurant, and the noisy sound instantly broke the originally lively atmosphere in the restaurant.

In an instant, it attracted the attention of many diners in the restaurant. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door at the same time.

At the door, a young woman was holding tightly the hand of a chubby little boy who looked only five or six years old, and was arguing with two burly men standing opposite them.

Li Qingyuan listened attentively for a while and roughly understood the whole story.

The young woman with the child claimed that one of the two men opposite her had touched her and molested her.

She couldn't bear the humiliation, so she started cursing without any mercy.

However, in response to the woman's accusations, the two men flatly denied it, saying they had never done such a vile thing.

But the young woman did not believe their words and continued to insult them, and her words became more and more unbearable to hear.

The two big men already felt that they were being wronged and were very aggrieved. Now they were subjected to such ugly insults, so naturally they were unwilling to let it go.

The two sides were deadlocked, neither willing to give in, and the argument became increasingly intense, leading to the scene before us.

......

Li Muqiu frowned slightly when he saw this scene, and whispered to Li Qingyuan, "Kid, should we go over and help that woman? She's so thin and petite, I think what she said must be true. She's a weak woman, so she must have suffered a loss."

When Li Qingyuan heard this, his eyes suddenly fixed and a sense of alertness arose in his heart.

How could it be such a coincidence that such a thing happened not long after they came down?

All this seemed too coincidental, making him wonder if this was a play deliberately arranged by someone!

So he did not respond to Li Muqiu, but turned his gaze to the young woman again.

The young woman even spoke with a hint of tears in her voice, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice, which made people feel sympathetic towards her.

There were several men around her who were moved by her pitiful appearance and stood up to speak up for her and blame the two big men.

The two big men were so angry that their faces turned red, veins bulged on their necks, and they argued with everyone with their necks thick.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in. The argument became more and more intense, and the entire restaurant entrance was in chaos.

......

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan's eyes fell on the little boy that the young woman was holding.

For some reason, he always felt that this little boy was a little abnormal and didn't seem like a normal child.

Because, under normal circumstances, a five or six-year-old child would be in such a chaotic, noisy and explosive scene.

Either they would be trembling with fear, or they would have already burst into tears.

However, the little boy seemed to be oblivious to the situation, with his head lowered the entire time, showing no emotion at all.

His small figure seemed somewhat out of place in this chaotic scene.

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but wonder to himself: Is this child an idiot?

But, when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong!

Thinking of this, he decided to hold back for the time being and observe how the situation develops first.

......

However, Li Muqiu witnessed this scene, and her sense of justice and kindness in her heart made it impossible for her to remain silent.

She stood up resolutely and walked to the door of the restaurant, ready to intervene in the dispute.

At this time, Li Qingyuan was still immersed in his own thoughts. When he came to his senses, it was too late to call out to Li Muqiu.

Li Qingyuan shook his head helplessly and had to quickly follow her. Seeing this, Su Yaoyue followed closely behind.

The three of them hurried and soon arrived at the door of the restaurant.

At this moment, Li Qingyuan suddenly noticed that the little boy who had been keeping his head down raised his head and gave him a strange smile.

Just this smile made Li Qingyuan feel like he was struck by lightning, because at this moment, he finally saw the true appearance of this little boy!

It was a face that was terribly pale, with bloodshot eyes, a distorted expression, and veins all over it.

What horrified him the most was that this was not a child's face at all, but the face of a middle-aged man.

It was as if someone had peeled off a child's face and stuck it on the middle-aged man's face.

There were obvious wrinkles and unnaturalness in the places where it was fitted, as if it was a failed patchwork, with a weird atmosphere everywhere.

Such a weird and scary fake face suddenly appeared in front of Li Qingyuan, making his scalp tingle and his heart beat faster!
