The head guard had his bonds loosened, his attitude neither good nor bad. The guards took the three away, the only difference being that Jin Haoyu and the boy left on their own, while the evil cultivator was taken away under guard. He would face endless torture because Jin Haoyu had told the guards about his identity as an evil cultivator.

The boy chattered excitedly around Jin Haoyu: "My benefactor, what's your name? Where do you live? Who's in your family? You're so amazing! Can you teach me?"

Jin Haoyu became increasingly irritated by the noise and snapped, "Shut up!" But then he realized he was losing his temper again.

Seeing the boy turn into a quail in an instant, she tried her best to suppress her irritation, silently recited a calming mantra in her mind, and slowly said, "Ask them one by one!"

The boy immediately asked, "What's your name?"

"Gold and jade".

"Where do you live?"

"A very far place."...

Half an hour later, the guard returned, followed by an old man. No, it should be said that the guard respectfully led the old man in.

Upon seeing the young man, the old man exclaimed with delight, "Young Master!"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately became excited and ran to the old man's side, shouting, "Grandpa Qi, you've come to pick me up! You have no idea how dangerous it was for me just now..." as he recounted his grievances.

Qi Xin listened to the boy's story with a loving expression, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his face turned extremely cold. When he heard that the boy had been rescued, his expression finally improved a little. Jin Haoyu and the guard present felt the chill, but the boy was completely oblivious.

Jin Haoyu couldn't understand how such a naive person could be raised in this place, even more so than Xi Lan. Xi Lan could be said to be caused by the environment of the Merfolk, but this was the City of Desire, and the Black Market, one of the three major forces in the City of Desire. There shouldn't be a person with such a personality here.

Finally, after the boy finished speaking, he pulled Qi Xin to Jin Haoyu's side and said, "Grandpa Qi, it was Jin Yu who saved me."

Qi Xin said solemnly, "Thank you for your help, young friend! On behalf of the black market, I, Qi Xin, promise to owe you a favor. Please feel free to ask if there is anything we can do."

Jin Haoyu waved his hand: "Senior Qi, you are too kind. It is only right to help those in need. If I ever encounter trouble in the future, I hope you will lend me a hand!"

Qi Xin smiled and nodded: "Young friend, you're very generous. This is a small token of my gratitude." He then took out a storage bag and handed it to Jin Haoyu.

Jin Haoyu accepted it: "Thank you, senior."

"Of course, I still need to take the young master back to see the Lord, so I won't disturb you any longer," Qi Xin said.

Jin Haoyu replied, "Please go ahead, senior. I must be heading back now. My friend must be getting impatient."

The guards respectfully escorted Qi Xin, the boy, and Jin Haoyu out.

Qi Xin escorted the boy back to his room and then went to report the situation to the owner of the black market.

"My lord, the young master has returned safely!" Qi Xin said respectfully.

Behind the screen, a beautiful woman was gazing intently at a painting. The painting depicted a man whose face was even more beautiful than the woman's. If Jin Haoyu were to see this painting, he would surely notice the resemblance between the man and the boy.

The woman, who had just heard Qi Xin's words, snapped out of her daze, and a hint of gentleness appeared on her cold face, but only a hint.
