There was a commotion in the crowd.

They never expected that such a thin-looking young man could easily defeat Bald Liu and his lackeys!

That's a muscular man who's 1.9 meters tall!

Li Yuan hadn't taken more than a few steps when a voice suddenly called out to him.

"stop!"

Li Yuan subconsciously turned around:

"What are you doing again?"

Turning around, he saw a spirited young woman with beautiful features riding a tall horse, gazing at him.

The woman's clothing was still the official robes of this mortal kingdom.

"How dare you fight and brawl in front of the capital's gates?"

The woman gave a cold shout, and several constables immediately came out and detained Bald Liu and his henchman.

There were also constables preparing to come and detain Li Yuan.

"Hey Hey hey......"

Li Yuan retorted earnestly, "Get to the bottom of this, they're the ones who provoked me!"

The spirited woman looked at her younger brother lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and her eyebrows furrowed.

Li Yuan spoke up again, spreading his hands: "They attacked first, I was acting in self-defense!"

"Tell me, am I a victim? Was I acting in self-defense?" Li Yuan pointed at bald Liu.

Bald Liu's face was so swollen he was almost unrecognizable, and he was nodding his head like a chick.

"Yes, yes, brother was acting in self-defense!"

"Zhao Siya, don't cause trouble, just let my brother leave!"

Fearing that Li Yuan might come back and hit him again, Bald Liu urged the woman to leave.

Two more blows and he'll have to go see his great-grandmother!

Zhao Siya, whose face was full of heroic spirit, snorted coldly:

"The truth of the matter should always be sought out."

"Why are you rushing me to leave? What kind of scheme are you up to?"

Bald Liu was fierce and had a bad reputation in the area.

Zhao Siya was worried that after Bald Liu got rid of him, he would continue to bully the pale-faced young man.

Li Yuan looked at Zhao Siya and said in a serious tone:

"Don't worry, he can't hurt me."

Bald Liu nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes!"

"It won't hurt, it won't hurt!"

Zhao Siya gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

She was already busy, and now her mind was in complete chaos.

Why are these two suddenly acting in unison?

I think I've run into a lunatic?

Zhao Siya dismounted and picked up the rope.

Li Yuan's eyes widened:

"Hey! Don't come any closer! I can read the meaning in your eyes! I'm not sick!"

Zhao Siya said helplessly, "You two have been blocking the city gate for a long time, preventing other people from getting in and out!"

"Come with me to the yamen. I'll ask about the details later!"

Li Yuan scratched his head.

"What's the point of asking? The eyes of the masses are discerning. Why are you asking these bystanders?"

The crowd seemed somewhat afraid of the authorities' questioning, and for a moment no one dared to look Li Yuan in the eye.

They were afraid of testifying for Li Yuan and being retaliated against by Bald Liu afterwards.

Zhao Siya glanced around with her phoenix eyes, a hint of doubt flashing across her young and beautiful face:

"Melon? Nobody's eating melons?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Stop disrupting people's lives and come back with me first!"

"You vicious scoundrel, don't be afraid! The government will protect innocent people and won't let thugs get away with their crimes!"

She glared at Bald Liu, shook her head, and stepped forward to try and restrain Li Yuan.

In the past, Zhao Siya had encountered Bald Liu committing evil deeds.

They thought Li Yuan was like some victims, beaten into submission and cooperating with the villains in their act.

She secretly placed her fingers on Li Yuan's wrist, trying to check if he had any injuries.

If Bald Liu hurts someone again, she will definitely punish him properly!

However, she was somewhat surprised to find that she couldn't detect any pulse at all!

Li Yuan subtly broke free, then clicked his tongue:

"Eating melons" means watching the show or joining in the fun.

Just as he was about to use his immortal power to quietly break free and leave, a similar force lingered in his mind.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is the mountain god of this place warning him that he is no longer allowed to use magical powers.

Every place has its own rules, and the mountain god here does not allow Li Yuan to cross the boundary.

Hey, buddy!

'I'm a deity, after all. How can I face my other deity colleagues after being taken away by mortals?'

Li Yuan called out to the mountain god in his heart.

A consciousness came:

"Then I don't care."

"If you use your divine power in the mortal realm again, I will report you to the higher authorities!"

"hey-hey!"

The mountain god who protected the capital of Qian Kingdom had a somewhat aged and mocking voice.

"You bastard, you did that on purpose, didn't you?!"

The mountain god, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up at this moment, clearly intending to mess with Li Yuan's mind.

Hearing the somewhat lewd laughter, Li Yuan frowned helplessly and could only leave with the constables.

-

At night, Li Yuan sat alone in his cell, speechless.

Zhao Siya, who was always quick and efficient, had just returned with the two men and hadn't even had a chance to inquire about what happened at the city gate when he seemed to have been dealt with a major case.

Her expression changed drastically, her beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she turned and rushed out, knife in hand.

They didn't come back even when it got dark.

Inside the yamen, the yamen runners, seeing the fierce-looking bald Liu, ordered without a word to take the two men to the yamen jail and lock them up first.

Li Yuan could not bear this undeserved calamity and immediately tried to use his immortal power to leave.

Then, a wisp of consciousness appeared.

"This mountain god said you are not allowed to use your divine power!"

An immense power surged around Li Yuan.

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

This is someone else's territory, so you're bound to be somewhat restricted.

In the end, Li Yuan did not choose to offend the local mountain god and was taken to prison by the yamen runners.

In prison, Li Yuan looked pale and sighed, shaking his head.

A stain, a stain on one's very being!

Bald Liu was locked in the cell next door.

His younger brother was lying beside him, still fast asleep!

Bald Liu's face was still very swollen, but his mind was still active.

Those two terrifying slaps, as powerful as a collapsing mountain, made him realize that Li Yuan was definitely not an ordinary person!

Seeing Li Yuan's bad mood, Bald Liu, through the wooden stake, quickly smiled obsequiously:

"Master! Don't worry, Magistrate Zhao will definitely let you go first once he finishes his case!"

Their cells were separated by only half a mud wall, the upper half of which was a fence made of wooden stakes.

Li Yuan glanced at him: "Sigh, isn't this all your doing!"

“He’s strong and healthy, and has a respectable reputation, yet he insists on being a vagrant and a local ruffian.”

"I only went to the yamen to cooperate with the questioning. But when they saw you were an old acquaintance, they locked me up too!"

Li Yuan sighed, and couldn't help but think of:

If this bald Liu were a young man from Anshan village, and he turned out like this, wouldn't he be furious?

As a mountain god, he wouldn't interfere with mortals stealing or robbing.

But this bald Liu actually managed to steal from a deity.

That’s all.

Unfortunately, he's not good at stealing and doesn't have the strength to fight. He's just a disgrace!

Li Yuan overlooked the fact that he possessed an immortal body.

Otherwise, they might really get beaten to a pulp.

Bald Liu smiled, his face slightly flushed, and didn't seem to mind the 'strangeness' in Li Yuan's words.

"The way you lecture is exactly like Zhao Siya!"

Seeing that Bald Liu showed no hatred towards Zhao Siya, Li Yuan was also somewhat curious.

"Judging from our previous conversation, it seems you've been arrested by Zhao Siya many times. Don't you hate her?"

Bald Liu scratched his head, looking rather simple and honest at that moment.

"Zhao Siya is a good official. Arresting a scoundrel like me is his duty! I've committed all sorts of evil deeds, so I can't really complain if I'm caught..."

Li Yuan responded with an "Oh":

"You two are obviously up to something?"

Bald Liu lowered his head: "Master! Please don't make fun of me!"

"Even though I'm a scoundrel, I still have my bottom line!"

"I won't tarnish someone's reputation, nor will I ruin someone's future!"

"They usually only bully the weak and vulnerable, like petty theft, sleight of hand, and other underhanded tactics..."

Li Yuan clicked his tongue again: "I told you to be less cultured, so stop using so many words!"

"And you call this having a bottom line?"

Bald Liu scratched his shiny forehead again: "Anyway, I am Bald Liu!"

"I have absolutely no dirty thoughts about Magistrate Zhao!"

"On the contrary, I, Bald Liu, admire and am grateful to Magistrate Zhao!"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "A thug like you, with a stubborn and unruly character, and a history of being arrested, is so grateful to an official..."

"It seems that either Zhao Siya saved your life, or she saved your family."

Bald Liu exclaimed in astonishment, "Master! You are truly a genius!"

Li Yuan remained silent.

Isn't it obvious?

Could it be that you admire someone's sense of justice for no reason?

"Zhao Siya saved my mother's life. Although I, Bald Liu, am a villain, I still understand gratitude!"

"If I ever commit a crime, and if Magistrate Zhao comes to arrest me, I, Bald Liu, will never resist!"

Bald Liu patted his muscular chest.

"Don't look so proud of yourself!" Li Yuan complained.

He looked at the muscular bald head, then at his own 'fair and thin' appearance, and felt a little disgusted.

Bald Liu, however, showed reverence for Li Yuan's methods: "How shall I address you, esteemed master?"

"My surname is Li, you can call me Young Master Xiaoyao."

Li Yuan didn't know if he could travel the world with his real name, so he made up a name at random and said it casually.

Bald Liu sincerely said, "Young Master Xiaoyao is so young yet possesses such superb martial arts skills. I, Bald Liu, admire you!"

Li Yuan recalled the various brain-hemorrhage novels he had read in his original world and sighed:

"As a villain, you are really sensible."

In those novels, the villains would have already uttered all their harsh words by this point.

They've probably already dealt with the second wave of trouble!

But after being slapped twice with a hint of magical power, this bald Liu either lost his mind or became stupid, but he immediately became cowardly!

Bald Liu didn't understand what Li Yuan meant by "villainous character," but he was very perceptive.

He adopted a refined manner: "My previous behavior was improper and my language was rude. Please forgive me, Young Master Xiaoyao!"

"From now on, I will definitely turn over a new leaf, dare to do good, dare to change, dare to speak out against injustice, and dare to change the world!"

Li Yuan roared:

"If you're so uncultured, then stop using so many words!"
