Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

"No, that's not true. I just happened to be passing by and helped out with a small favor."

He felt somewhat sorry for the old man, so he couldn't help but take out a lot of money from his pocket and want to give it to him.

"Grandpa, you can take this money and use it. You don't need to pay it back. I still have plenty of money on me."

However, the old man did not hesitate at all and immediately rejected Xu Yao's proposal.

“Grandpa, you’re so strapped for cash, this little bit of money is nothing.”

Upon hearing this, the old man chuckled noncommittally.

"Money is just an external thing, it's completely useless to me. You're kind enough, but I refuse. That's all."

Xu Yao shrugged helplessly, greeted the old man, and left.

The old man watched Xu Yao's retreating figure and slowly narrowed his eyes.

"He's quite an interesting young man. I wonder if we'll have the chance to meet again."

Not long after he left, Xu Yao encountered Bai Lian again.

Bai Lian rushed over here in a hurry, as if she had something urgent to do.

Upon seeing Bai Lian, Xu Yao greeted her with a smile.

"Hey White Lotus, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Upon receiving Xu Yao's message, Bai Lian was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly rushed towards Xu Yao.

"Xu Yao, I was just about to come find you."

"Find me?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Something terrible is about to happen, do you even know that?"

Seeing Xu Yao's confused look, Bai Lian immediately explained it to him.

It turns out that several sects were planning to launch a joint attack on the Blood Demon Hall.

This time, they were determined to annihilate the Blood Demon Hall. Bai Lian was extremely anxious about this matter, as Xu Yao, an innocent man, was still trapped in the Blood Demon Hall, and they had to find a way to rescue him.

Bai Lian rushed to the Blood Demon Hall to rescue Xu Yao, but she never expected this.

Xu Yao, of course, popped up again on his own.

"That's great, I'm relieved to see you're alright. But according to what you said before, you've successfully escaped the Blood Demon Hall, right?"

Xu Yao nodded and said to Bai Lian, "That should be the case."

Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

"It won't be long before the Blood Demon Hall is completely destroyed. It's good that you're out; this way you'll gain your freedom."

Xu Yao smiled and nodded.

"Speaking of which, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"I don't know this horse either. I'll just find a place to live a carefree life and eat and wait to die."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian gave Xu Yao a disdainful look.

"Please, you're a seventh-grade alchemist, how can you be so unambitious? A man should have lofty aspirations."

Look at you, you're a complete lazybones.

"So what if I'm lazy? I'm not eating other people's rice for nothing. Isn't it good to avoid causing trouble for others?"

Hearing this, Bai Lian shook her head helplessly. What else could she say to Xu Yao? She could only let this guy come.

"Anyway, to celebrate your successful liberation, how about we go for a drink? It's on me."

Xu Yao actually agreed without really understanding what was going on.

After a while, the two of them enjoyed a good, hearty meal.

No sooner had they stepped out of the tavern than they encountered more trouble.

In their field of vision, they saw a group of people walking towards them, and the person in the lead seemed to be a young master, wearing a gorgeous black robe and holding a black paper fan.

The men behind him were supporting a young and beautiful woman, following closely behind the man.

The woman was crying and sobbing, clearly indicating that she didn't want to be with this man; she was being coerced.

What's even more infuriating is that at the back of this group, there was an old man clinging tightly to someone's leg, desperately pleading for something.

"Please, I beg you, I only have one daughter, please have mercy on me!"

"Let him go. If you take my daughter away, how am I supposed to live?"

The man whose leg was being grabbed glared impatiently at the old man and yelled at him.

"What are you yelling for? Let go of my hand right now, do you hear me? You old blind man!"

"If you don't behave, don't blame me for being ruthless. Let me tell you, it's your daughter's good fortune that the young master has taken a liking to her; others aren't so lucky!"

The old man kept making demands of the young master; how could he not know what kind of person the young master was?

This guy's name is Chen Changhe, and he's a notorious playboy.

Relying on his family's wealth, connections, and power, he acted arrogantly and bullied people everywhere. Once a woman he set his sights on was brought back to his mansion, she would...

None of them survived. Who knows what happened to those women in his territory?

If my daughter could be happy there, that would be fine, but that's not the case at all.

Despite Lao Tzu's persistent pleas, the man whose leg was being held grew increasingly impatient and roared at the old man.

"Old man, you asked for this. Don't blame me for being ruthless. You deserve to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man kicked the old man in the head. With a bang, the old man flew backward like a kite with a broken string, landing on the ground motionless.

If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, people would have thought he was dead.

After a while, the old man struggled to turn over and crawled toward the man again, still making demands.

"Please, please, please show mercy! I'll do anything you ask, just let my daughter go!"

At this moment, the young master walking in front stopped, playing with the paper fan in his hand, and looking at the old man meaningfully.

"You said you'd do anything?"

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback at first, then nodded repeatedly and kowtowed repeatedly to the young master named Chen Changhe.

"Thank you so much for your leniency, young master! I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"Okay." Chen Changhe gave the old man a meaningful smile.

"I don't think so. Here you can kneel down and kowtow to me nine times first, then bark like a dog and circle around us ten or eight times. As for what to do after that, I'll think about it slowly."

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback.

"Hey old man, are you having second thoughts? You're not even willing to do something this bad for your daughter, and you're begging me? With that attitude, who would agree to your request?"

"Wait a minute, young master, I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?"
