Chapter 601: How About Attacking Together?
Ye Guan stared calmly at the lady in white. A middle-aged man was standing next to the lady in white, and his eyes were transfixed on Ye Guan. "Come out. Otherwise, the little girl and her grandmother next door will meet their end."
The town had its rules—no fighting was allowed inside of it.
The middle-aged man and his group were not daring enough to break it.
Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Alright."
The middle-aged man led the group away from the stone house.
Ye Guan looked behind him and saw Lin Daimei standing at her grandmother's door with a knife in hand.
A faint smile graced Ye Guan’s lips. "You should rest."
Lin Daimei remained silent with an unwavering gaze.
Ye Guan then walked out of the town under Qin Xue and the others' deep gaze.
It was deep in the night, and the breeze was cold outside.
Ye Guan came to a halt, facing Qin Xue and the rest.
The middle-aged man stared intently at Ye Guan, and a sense of unease suddenly gripped his heart. The sense of unease was growing stronger with each passing moment.
How come Ye Guan was so composed?
The sense of unease became a lump of frustration within the middle-aged man's throat.
"Attack!" the middle-aged man roared, but he did not move at all.
Instead, several men standing next to him charged at Ye Guan. They were natives of this world, so their cultivation bases weren't being suppressed at all.
Ye Guan picked up a tree branch on the ground, and he thrust the branch forward to meet one of the men charging toward him.
The moment the tree branch made contact with the man's fist, Ye Guan's face twisted in agony.
Boom!
The man was blasted away, and his fleshly body scattered into a gore of flesh and blood before he even landed on the ground.
The onlookers were horrified.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan's face was pale, and his brows were furrowed deeply. He could smell iron at the back of his throat.
Ye Guan had challenged the First God's seal, and his true opponent earlier wasn't the man earlier, but the First God’s seal.
Unfortunately, he failed to defeat the seal and ended up suffering a backlash.
From afar, the middle-aged man turned abruptly to Qin Xue.
"Didn't you say that he's an outsider?" the middle-aged man asked, sounding furious.
Qin Xue stared deeply at Ye Guan in the distance and said, "He's suffering from a backlash."
A backlash?
The onlookers turned their gaze to Ye Guan and saw that Ye Guan's face was pale, which was a clear sign that he had indeed suffered a backlash.
The middle-aged man glared at Ye Guan and said, "Attack."
However, no one moved at all. It wasn't strange, as they knew what the middle-aged man was trying to do here. He was going to sacrifice them to exhaust Ye Guan.
Unfortunately for the middle-aged man, they were not foolish enough to step forward and sacrifice themselves for him.
Seeing the reluctance of his companions, the middle-aged man's expression soured. He growled and said, "He's suffering from a backlash! He can no longer fight back. Let's go ahead and charge at him together; we'll surely overpower him."
Still, nobody budged an inch.
The middle-aged man's cold gaze swept across his companions.
They avoided his gaze and remained frozen. Upttodated from n(0)/velbIn/.(co/m
Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Are you here to help me?"
Lin Daimei approached slowly, her gaze fixed on Ye Guan. "Is it serious?"
Ye Guan nodded solemnly.
After a moment's hesitation, Lin Daimei asked, "Are you going to die?"
Ye Guan blinked, taken aback by her blunt question. "Are you afraid that I'll die?"
Lin Daimei replied earnestly, "You haven't given me the hawthorn candy you promised today."
Ye Guan chuckled, momentarily caught off guard by her unexpected response.
A faint smile played on Lin Daimei's lips as she walked to Ye Guan's side. She tried to support his weight as best as she could as the two of them walked into the town.
Ye Guan sprawled out on his bed, and blood was still trickling down his mouth. He sighed and admitted to himself that he had come dangerously close to death today.
Lin Daimei returned with a bowl of herbs. “These are my grandmother's herbs... they might be helpful to you.”
After a moment's consideration, Ye Guan declined it, saying, "Thank you, but... I think I'll manage on my own."
Setting the bowl aside, Lin Daimei asked, "Do you regret it?"
Ye Guan looked puzzled by her question.
Lin Daimei's gaze bore into him. "You saved that woman, but she repaid your kindness with malice. Do you regret saving her?"
Ye Guan smiled softly. "No."
"Why?" Lin Daimei pressed, frowning slightly.
Ye Guan didn't answer and asked back instead, "Why did you come looking for me?"
Lin Daimei was quiet for a while before saying, "You know, if you had just stayed here, they wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on you. It's strange, but no one dares to fight here.”
"Ah, there's that!” Ye Guan exclaimed.
Lin Daimei stared silently at Ye Guan.
Breaking the silence, Ye Guan’s voice carried a hint of amusement as he said, "You have a question for me, right? Feel free to ask now."
However, Lin Daimei shook her head and replied, "Let's save it for after you've had a taste of my cooking tomorrow."
Ye Guan agreed. "Fair enough."
Lin Daimei made her way to the door. Just as she was about to walk out of the door, she came to a halt and turned to look at Ye Guan. Her voice was tinged with uncertainty as she asked, "Are you planning to leave?"
Ye Guan was taken aback. "What makes you say that?"
Lin Daimei said, "Well, that woman came back here to repay your kindness with malice, so there's a high chance that you possess something valuable enough for her to do such a thing. They know that you're here, so you're going to leave soon, right?"
Ye Guan nodded. "That's right."
"Can I ask you for a favor?" Lin Daimei asked. She clenched her tiny fists, and her figure trembled like an aspen tree.
Although she was hesitant, she knew that she had to ask
Ye Guan stared deeply at her and encouraged her to speak. "Go ahead, what is it?"
Lin Daimei's voice sounded like a mosquito's droning as she said, "Can you save my grandmother?"
Ye Guan was quiet for a while before asking, "Can you take me to her first?"
“Of course," Lin Daimei replied. Then, she seemed to have realized something, as she added, "You're injured, so... I think we should do it tomorrow?"
"Don't worry about me." Ye Guan chuckled and said, "Let's go."
Ye Guan then stood up and followed Lin Daimei to her grandmother's stone house.
Ye Guan's expression changed drastically the moment he entered the stone house.
