Chapter 54: Saving People from Danger (2)

"What? You can't produce it?" The playboy Young Master sneered and looked askance at him.

The old man had a long face as he cried, "Young Master Zhao, I beg you to be merciful. Even if you sold the two of us, grandfather and granddaughter, we still wouldn't have these fifty taels."

"None? Hehe." That Young Master Zhao reached out a large hand to touch the girl's face, "This girl looks quite good, fair and tender. She'll surely be extraordinary when she grows up. Since that's the case, let's use this little girl to offset the fifty taels. Seeing how poor you are, we'll just take a bit of a loss."

Young Master Zhao got the better end of the deal yet still acted like the victim, repeatedly emphasizing his own tolerance and kindness.

Su Luo's gaze was cold. Judging by the old man's expression and the reactions of the people around them, this Young Master Zhao was likely a local tyrant with an astonishing power backing him.

Su Luo's slender brows furrowed slightly, but she did not plan to step in and help at this moment.

At this moment, a delicate shout suddenly came from a corner of the hall.

"You shameless scoundrels, specializing in bullying the weak and kidnapping women, you are truly detestable to the extreme!" As the words fell, a slender figure stepped forward. A young girl held a flexible sword in her hand; the blade glinted coldly, emitting a trace of solemn Killing Intent.

This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light green top and a pink pleated skirt, looking elegant and lovely.

Her small face had skin like congealed fat, snowy white with a hint of pink, and a bit of baby fat.

At the table behind her sat five or six boys and girls of similar age; they looked like a group from an academy out for training.

Moreover, Su Luo felt that this young girl before her looked somewhat familiar; her surname should be Liu.

She seemed to get along very well with Su Xi and had even conspired with Su Xi to harm her in the past.

Su Luo propped her chin on one hand, watching the drama unfolding below with great interest. She hadn't expected that this Miss Liu, who shared the same personality as Su Xi, would be putting on a show of saving someone here.

Just… why was that?

Young Master Zhao stroked his chin, sizing up the girl before him with interest: "Yo, little beauty, are you trying to throw yourself into my arms?"

"Shameless!" Miss Liu thrust her long sword forward.

Miss Liu brandished her long sword with glinting cold light, sword shadows splashing everywhere, full of vigor and murderous intent.

Young Master Zhao's playful expression soon froze, and a serious look appeared on his face. The two of them fought, locked in a stalemate.

Even though it was lively below, Nangong Liuyun's gaze remained locked on Su Luo. He said with a smile, "Look, someone has stolen your thunder."

He saw Su Luo's look of sympathy for the grandfather and granddaughter, so he spoke teasingly.

"Nangong Liuyun, am I just a fool in your eyes?" Su Luo rolled her eyes irritably and looked at him helplessly.

"How so?" Nangong Liuyun's deep eyes, as bright and brilliant as diamonds, gazed at Su Luo.

"That Young Master Zhao is clearly a local thug. Miss Liu might save them once, but can she save them twice or three times? Most likely, as soon as she leaves, they'll bring people back to tear this restaurant down. This isn't called saving people; it's called harming them."

Su Luo's beautiful eyes flickered, her expression indifferent.

She paused, then sneered again, "What's more, judging by her performance now, it'll be a miracle if she doesn't cause more trouble for that pair."

Nangong Liuyun looked at Su Luo with a smile, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

His Girl Luo surely didn't know how radiant and dazzling she looked while speaking so eloquently.

Only someone as smart as she would consider so many issues when saving people, truly helping them solve their troubles instead of bringing them more difficulties.
