Qin Yuechan nodded gently, looked at the woman kneeling on the ground sobbing, and said softly, "Huo Xiang is just a child. If this beast takes her back, she'll be tortured to death." That tall horse is as big as two little girls.

Upon hearing this, the fourth senior brother's smile grew even more lewd, his entire face overflowing with an evil grin. "I remember my junior sister was about this age too..."

She rolled her eyes and scolded, "Senior brother is always so irresponsible!" At that time, she was already a head taller than Huo Xiang, and by chance, she obtained Ji Sansheng's innate charm. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand their "all kinds of entanglement"!

Thinking about it, she was about to step forward, but her fourth senior brother pulled her back, saying, "Your senior brother is here, do you need to step forward?" He then let go of her and walked over.

Seeing that things had gone well, the young Marquis of Dongchuan prepared to have the father and daughter taken away, but then a clear voice said, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what are you doing?"

All eyes were on the troublemaker, who turned out to be a handsome and extraordinary man. His face was sharply defined, and he was as handsome as an immortal. His thick, sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his captivating peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He wore a black brocade robe with a bright yellow jade belt tied around his waist, which complemented the layers of auspicious clouds on the hem of his robe. He was truly a graceful and elegant young gentleman.

The Huo father and daughter, who had just been crying their eyes out, saw their savior arrive. Their fine clothes and refined demeanor made them seem unlike ordinary people. They hurriedly kowtowed and begged for help: "Young master, please save my daughter! If she has committed a crime, I will be punished according to the law. It has nothing to do with my daughter!"

Huo Xiang, her eyes red from crying, looked at Situ Ze, her gaze instantly filled with intense amazement, and she even forgot to cry…

The young Marquis Duan Xiufeng was a tyrant in the capital, and because he was usually cautious in his actions, no one dared to interfere. Who would have thought that a troublemaker would suddenly appear today! Seeing his luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor, no one dared to be too rude, so they asked with a gloomy face: "I wonder who you are, that you dare to interfere in my affairs?"

Situ Ze's peach blossom eyes always held a smile from time to time, but the coldness that overflowed within them made people afraid to look directly at him. He walked slowly up the steps with his hands behind his back, a mocking smile on his thin lips, "I am a celestial soldier descended from the Southern Heavenly Gate, in charge of all the injustices of the world!"

Duan Xiufeng was strong and imposing, a full half-head taller than Situ Ze standing in front of him, but he was stunned by the terrifying aura emanating from him. The feeling was very similar to the fear one feels when facing the emperor, and for a moment he forgot to retort.

At this moment, a small-time thug with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face behind him shouted in a shrill voice, "Where did you come from, you little bastard, daring to act wildly here? Don't you know who my young master is!"

Startled by the shout, Duan Xiufeng snapped out of his daze, frowned, and took a few steps back. Realizing he'd been intimidated by some nobody, his muscular face trembled, and he roared, "Fine! You're deliberately trying to cause trouble, aren't you! Get him!"

The henchmen had done many bad things with him, and those who performed well could be rewarded by their master, so they quickly surrounded the composed Situ Ze.

Situ Ze didn't want to talk to them much, so he started by loudly provoking them. He cracked his knuckles and was about to start a fight when a woman's voice, as clear as a nightingale's song, stopped him: "Wait!"

Turning around, I saw my junior sister walking out of the crowd, followed by the fifth and sixth brothers. She frowned and said, "Didn't we say you didn't need to step in?"

Qin Yuechan rolled her eyes at him, her mind filled with brute force! Ignoring his darkening expression, she turned her beautiful eyes to Duan Xiufeng and said, "The common people's crimes are dealt with by the government. You are just a prince with no official rank, so you have no right to handle such matters privately!"

A stunningly beautiful woman appeared, her breathtaking beauty causing the onlookers to gasp. Now, hearing her dare to stand up to the powerful without being humble or arrogant, her small, almost unreal face radiated a righteous spirit, pure and upright, inspiring admiration. Coupled with Duan Xiufeng's numerous misdeeds, as soon as she spoke, someone in the crowd echoed, "That's right! The law cannot be ignored!"

With someone taking the lead, dissenting voices emerged one after another, but they couldn't bring Duan Xiufeng, who was immersed in the beauty, back to his senses. His lewd eyes openly sized up her exquisite body. Her face and figure were far superior to that of the skinny Huo Xiang. It seemed that the whole world had lost its color, and only this fairy-like beauty remained. As if possessed, he slowly stepped forward and reached out to touch her jade-like cheek.

Qin Yuechan frowned in disgust and remained motionless, but her fifth senior brother quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it outwards with force. A crisp cracking sound was heard, and Duan Xiufeng felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He suddenly came to his senses and saw the man behind the beauty. He suppressed the sweat on his forehead and shouted to his men, "Arrest this little wench!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a burst of laughter. Turning around, he saw his men rolling on the ground, and then looking at Situ Ze, who stood with his hands behind his back and looked completely relaxed. He realized that they had been beaten to the ground at some point. Seeing that the situation was not going his way, he kicked the henchman next to him and roared, "Get out of here!"

Duan Xiufeng threw down a vicious "You just wait!" and tried to leave, but Situ Ze had no intention of letting him go so easily. His hands moved so fast that it was hard to see, and in a few moments he knocked the tall man down. His men, who had regained their senses, quickly helped him up and fled as if they were escaping.

The funniest thing was that the "corpse" that had been covered with a white cloth suddenly jumped three meters high and followed after it.

Things unfolded so quickly that the onlookers burst into laughter as soon as they came to their senses, their expressions filled with contempt and disgust for Duan Xiufeng.

Seeing the Huo family father and daughter helping each other over, Qin Yuechan stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you injured? Did that bully do anything to you?"

Huo Zhengqi had thought he was doomed and had given up hope, but by chance he was saved by his benefactor. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face, which was over fifty years old, all came together. "Thank you for saving my life..." he said, unable to hold back his tears, his sincerity full of gratitude.

Supporting his daughter Huo Xiang, who was small and thin at a young age, her bright eyes brightened up her whole being. With red eyes, she was about to kneel down with her father when an invisible force lifted them both up, causing them to open their eyes wide in surprise.

Qin Yuechan, using her fifth senior brother's internal energy, smiled and offered a slight gesture of support, saying, "It was merely an act of kindness, Manager Huo and Miss Huo, no need for such a grand gesture."

Huo Zhengqi had been in the restaurant business for many years and had seen countless people come and go, so he could tell at a glance that the woman and three men in front of him were not from ordinary families. He nodded gratefully and said respectfully, "You see, I am really being impolite. How could I let my benefactors stand outside to talk?" He stepped aside and gestured, "Please come in, my four benefactors."

Situ Ze didn't want to disrupt the trip and was about to refuse when Qin Yuechan stopped him and nodded with a smile.

Zuixianlou was opened by Huo Zhengqi when he was young. After several renovations, the restaurant is not very luxurious, but it has a certain elegance. It has two floors. The downstairs is the main hall. The originally neat tables were a bit messy because of the accident earlier. Huo Zhengqi then led them upstairs to the second floor. Several forsythia flowers were placed in the antique-style private room, which added a touch of charm to the originally ordinary room.

Huo Xiang had a maid accompany him to change clothes and wash up. The four of them, along with Huo Zhengqi, were in the room, where they served the finest Biluochun tea, instantly filling the room with its aroma.

Huo Zhengqi looked at the four men, who were both handsome and elegant, and sighed deeply. He said with concern, "I am so grateful to the four heroes for saving me today. Otherwise, not only would I have been unjustly imprisoned, but my daughter would have become that bully's plaything!" As he finished speaking, his fists clenched into fists, and his whole body trembled with anger.

Then, remembering that he was in front of his benefactor, he relaxed and asked, "Are you four people from the Xuanyuan Kingdom?"

Situ Ze took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a gentle expression, "We are not from this country, but merchants who have come here to do business."

Huo Zhengqi breathed a deep sigh of relief upon hearing this. "That's good. You've offended the young Marquis of Dongchuan today. This place is now a dangerous place. Once you've done your business, hurry back to your country."

Qin Yuechan and Situ Ze exchanged a glance and asked, "Does this bully have a lot of power?"

He shook his head and slowly said, "He's just a spendthrift. Duan Xiufeng's father, the Marquis of Dongchuan, has a close relationship with the Regent and wields immense power. Since I offended him, my four benefactors might cause you trouble."

She frowned slightly. Although her senior brother was unrestrained and wild, he wasn't the kind of person to be foolish. How could he tolerate such a thing happening? But she couldn't worry about that now. She just needed to go back and report to him. The most important thing right now was...

"It would be easy for us to leave, but are you going to keep the restaurant here?"

Huo Zhengqi seemed to have aged a few years. His gaze swept carefully around the private room, as if he cherished it dearly. He sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. To protect my daughter, I have no choice but to sell Zuixianlou and retreat to the countryside."

Okay, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!

Qin Yuechan picked up her white ceramic teacup with blue and white decorations, took a sip, and then slowly asked, "Could you transfer the restaurant to us?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhengqi was puzzled, and even the others beside him were somewhat confused. However, seeing her calm and composed profile, they did not ask any questions.

"Aren't you afraid that this bully will come to your door and cause trouble?"

A glint of light flashed in her beautiful eyes as she placed the blanket steadily on the table, her straight back exuding confidence. "Don't worry, we have a plan."

Huo Zhengqi didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that they couldn't stay there any longer, and that selling them to anyone would be a waste, why not buy their benefactor at a cheap price? So he agreed.

Qin Yuechan saw that the price he offered was ridiculously low, but she didn't say anything more. She said she would come to sign the contract the next day, then bid him farewell and left Zuixianlou.

As they were leaving, they encountered Huo Xiang, who had changed her clothes, in front of the private room. A light red, high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) made her face more beautiful than a flower, and her eyes were red and swollen like a little rabbit's, adding to her already delicate and pitiful appearance. When she saw them come out, she curtsied very politely, her voice soft and sweet, "Xiang'er greets your four benefactors."
