After a long while, Jiang Ning finally spoke, muttering to himself.
"Only God knows."
After saying this, Jiang Ning turned and went down the mountain, never looking back.
Jiang Ning didn't know how long he walked or where he was going. He would walk to a place randomly, stop for a while, and then walk again, until many years later.
"Help!"
A mother and daughter were cornered in an alley by several thugs.
"Young lady, you're quite pretty. Do you have a husband?"
The thugs stared at the old woman's daughter with wicked smiles, occasionally reaching out to pat her.
"Let go, let go of my daughter."
The old woman stood in front of her daughter and exclaimed in surprise.
"How dare you do this in broad daylight?"
"Humph!"
One of the thugs sneered.
“Your deadbeat husband owes money to our Ruyi Fang. If he can’t pay it back, he’ll use your daughter as collateral.”
The old woman said angrily, "You set a trap for my husband, driving him to desperation and suicide. Now you want to bully us, a widow and orphan. Is there any justice in this world?"
"That's beyond my control. All I know is that it's only right to pay back debts."
These thugs acted with impunity, reaching out to grab the old woman.
"If you owe money and can't pay it back, according to the rules, you must give someone as collateral. Hand over your daughter!"
"no!"
The old woman struggled to pull her hands away from the thugs, which only angered them, and they kicked her to the ground.
"Behave yourself, do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you, you old widow? If you piss me off, I'll beat you to death right now!"
Several thugs punched and kicked the old woman, who cried out in pain.
The old woman wept upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward to separate them, saying...
"Stop hitting my mother, I'll go with you."
Hearing the old woman's daughter speak, the thugs stopped and looked at the old woman's beautiful daughter with wicked smiles.
"That's right, just follow us obediently, why make so much trouble?"
As they spoke, the thugs were about to take the old woman away. The old woman, lying on the ground, watched this scene and felt that the world was unjust, so she cried out.
"Good families are driven to desperation, while evildoers lord it over everyone. Is there no justice left in this world?!"
"Tianli?"
One of the thugs turned around and sneered, "In this place, I am the law."
“Take her daughter away.”
Several thugs were about to leave the alley with the old woman and child when, without warning, a middle-aged man with white hair stood at the alley entrance, just watching them.
"Who's blocking our way? Do you have a death wish? Get out of here!"
"That's right, while the old men are in a good mood, if you don't leave now, we'll beat you up too."
Several thugs shouted.
Jiang Ning looked at them, then turned his gaze to the thug who had spoken earlier.
"You're saying you're the embodiment of justice?"
The thug said arrogantly.
"It was me who said it, so what?"
No sooner had the thug finished speaking than a bloody hole appeared on his forehead, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
The other thugs were stunned by what they saw.
"Killed!"
"There's a ghost!"
The thugs screamed and tried to escape, but the next second they all fell to the ground and became corpses.
The elderly woman and her daughter were stunned by what they saw.
It wasn't until Jiang Ning looked at them and asked...
Do you know where this Ruyi Fang they're talking about is?
The old woman and her daughter then came to their senses. The old woman looked at Jiang Ning in horror, not knowing whether he was a human or a ghost. Her daughter, however, reacted quickly and knelt down immediately.
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Get up."
Jiang Ning smiled.
"Do you know where Ruyi Fang is? I want to go take a look."
"know."
The woman nodded quickly, then told Jiang Ning a place name, and Jiang Ning was about to leave.
"My benefactor, please wait."
The woman called out to Jiang Ning.
"May I ask your honorable name, my benefactor? I have no way to repay you but to pray day and night for your safety and well-being."
Jiang Ning turned around upon hearing this and smiled.
"My name is Jiang Ning."
"Jiang in Jianghu, Ning in Anning."
