Chapter 87: Encouraging a Fight
Initially, the guards seemed to disagree with Ye Lingyue and Ye Lanxi joining in to fight off the bandits. After all, they were also responsible for the Ye siblings’ safety.
Until they gradually found that the pair of siblings had decent skills.
On top of that, they were also stubborn, so the guards didn’t waste any words to persuade them to sit still anymore.
"I don’t know that someone can have this kind of hobby," Ye Lanxi muttered, rubbing his chin.
The person in the cage seemed to be provoked, and he glared maliciously at Ye Lanxi. However, he suddenly seemed to be thinking of something and soon became quiet.
"Young Master Han?" Ye Lingyue circled the cage and clicked her tongue.
At this moment, a bandit with an axe suddenly launched his weapon at the siblings, forcing them to jump away in a separate direction. The axe, however, landed on Young Master Han’s cage, filling him with so much fear and dizziness.
He almost thought that the weapon was going down to split him in half! The cage had saved his little life!
The bandit chased after Ye Lingyue, deliberately picking the weaker target and...
"Little girl, how about you go with me? Don’t worry, I will take care of you." The bandit stared at her with the look that made her want to punch him.
Ye Lingyue shuddered. "Have you never looked at yourself? Look at that face, teeth..."
The bandit was immediately enraged when he heard that. "You really can’t appreciate kindness at all!"
She sneered. "Save that kindness for yourself!"
Just by looking at him made her so disgusted that she wanted to wash her eyes! It was unknown how many years this person had never bathed!
His hair was all tangled up. There seemed to be suspicious dirt mixed in, and when he got close... she really wanted to cover her nose.
This person was carrying a weapon, so Ye Lingyue had to thread more carefully. And she had to admit that despite his repulsive appearance, he was quick and skilled.
He didn’t give her a minute of rest at all as he chased after her all over, his axe was always raised high and ready to land on her.
It took her a while to be able to land the paralyzing powder on him successfully. Once he fell to the ground with a muffled groan, she came over, picked up some dried leaves and used it to cover the axe’s handle.
Ye Lanxi came over to her. Her eyes lit up, and before he could register what was happening, she already shoved the axe to him.
"Second Brother, it’s a good weapon. Take care of it," she said earnestly before running away.
An intense foul smell immediately assaulted Ye Lanxi’s nose, almost making him drop the axe. The moment his eyes landed on it, that was exactly what he did.
The axe’s handle hit the bandit’s foot and the sharp part cut his skin.
When Ye Lingyue returned to the cage, Young Master Han had somehow crawled out of it and was trying to run away, but a bandit found him.
They were now engaged in a brawl, which looked funny to Ye Lingyue because the bandit kept on targeting his face.
"Ha! Take it, you greedy official!" The bandit spat. "Your people are suffering yet you enjoy luxurious meals and buy expensive goods!"
Young Master Han was someone who had been pampered all his life, which had somehow led him to his arrogant and slightly temperamental personality.
He was not good at fighting, but his anger became fuel for him. His fists were directed to the bandit, hitting here or there.
However, although the bandit wasn’t a trained martial artist, he was better than Young Master Han. His hand grabbed Young Master Han’s face and shook it fiercely.
Ye Lingyue watched from the side, cheering on them. "Bandit Brother, go for his face, yes! Hit again! Again!"
An evil idea suddenly popped up in her mind. "All men have the same weakness, right? Hit that thing between his legs..."
Young Master Han’s eyes bulged out, shining with ferocious light as he glared at Ye Lingyue. On the other hand, the bandit’s eyes lit up, giving Ye Lingyue a look of appreciation.
"Hiss, no!" Young Master Han yelped as he evaded the bandit who was trying to cut off his descendants.
Ye Lingyue clapped again like a seal. "Bandit Brother, don’t be discouraged, do it again!"
At this moment, Young Master Han couldn’t bear it anymore. "Shut up you wench!"
She clicked her tongue, and of course, she didn’t want to shut up, she continued to distract him with unbelievable words like ’maybe it’s too small that you can’t find it yet’.
The bandit was also excited. "If we cut off a bastard’s descendants like yours, we will have one less corrupt official!"
Young Master Han’s temples throbbed. "Not everyone wants to be an official!"
"It’s a sophistry!" The bandit argued back. "You didn’t say you didn’t want to be an official, so there’s that chance."
His pupils constricted when he heard that, and he heard the bandit sneering mockingly for guessing his thoughts correctly.
From the side, Ye Lingyue also clicked her tongue. "Don’t trust that liar, Bandit Brother!"
Young Master Han was about to be driven mad by these people. He couldn’t help but scold the bandit, gasping as he avoided yet another of the other party’s strikes.
"Can’t you see that she is using you to deal with me?! She has a grudge with me." He growled angrily.
All of a sudden, Young Master Han managed to release himself from the bandit’s grasp. He headed to Ye Lingyue, and the latter didn’t evade; she wanted to grab him and not allow him to escape so soon.
Alas, an accident happened.
She failed to notice that there was another bandit heading her way.
"Haha, take this, you wench!" A knife was swung down with Young Master Han holding her in her place.
