Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 184 - 71: Twins
"How can this be allowed?"
Old Liu's face turned pale upon hearing this. He frantically stretched out his arms, trying to stop the beggars from charging in, but how could he possibly hold them back?
With a gentle push, he staggered backward and sat on the ground.
"Why not?"
Huo the Third furrowed his brow, his face showing displeasure:
"Our brothers have been patrolling day and night to ensure your safety. Can't we even use some of your unused rooms for a short stay?"
"Unless..."
"You don't want our protection. Do you know what happened to the Zhang family last night?"
Struggling to get up from the ground, Old Liu watched helplessly as a group of filthy beggars stormed into the courtyard, furious to the point of trembling lips.
Especially when he saw some of them rummaging through the drying clothes with dirty hands, brazenly pushing open door after door.
"Stop!"
He urgently shouted:
"All of you, stop!"
"Whoosh!"
A long arrow shot from the second courtyard, embedded itself in the window frame, blocking a beggar who was about to enter. The quivering tail feathers of the arrow halted his movements.
"What's going on?"
Wu Hai, leading a group armed with knives and bows, rushed out and shouted angrily:
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing much." Huo the Third raised an eyebrow, stepping beside the beggar. He tapped the arrow lightly with his cyan bamboo stick, speaking slowly:
"Just coming for a short stay."
His movements were deliberate, with no sign of exertion, yet the arrow seemed to crumble like rotten wood, breaking into several pieces and falling to the ground.
Wu Hai's eyes narrowed, his expression filled with astonishment.
Such a skillful force application method.
It's known that Fang Zheng prepared those arrows with high-quality wax wood, which is both hard and elastic.
Even ordinary people couldn't break them with full effort.
The opponent is at least a Second Blood Martial Artist with refined martial arts skills, holding significant heritage, unlike the soldiers they were familiar with from the battlefield.
"You're not welcome here." Taking a deep breath, Wu Hai said with a muffled voice:
"Everyone, please leave."
"Where's your master?" Huo the Third spoke slowly:
"I've heard that Young Master Fang is generous and loves helping others. If he sees so many of us without a place to stay, he'd surely intervene."
"Master isn't here," Wu Hai said:
"But before leaving, the master specifically instructed us that outsiders are forbidden to enter the mansion for now, and everything will be settled after he returns."
"It's okay." Huo the Third waved dismissively:
"Then we'll stay first, and wait for Young Master Fang to return. With his generosity, he won't mind such a trivial matter."
"That's not possible..." Wu Hai stepped forward to argue, only to be lightly blocked by a stick.
"Brothers!"
Huo the Third raised a hand and shouted:
"Let's take a look around, familiarize ourselves with the place, and find some empty rooms to stay in. From now on, this will be our resting place."
"Good!"
"You are mighty, chief!"
"..."
A chorus of beggars agreed, some even eagerly rushing into various rooms, others heading directly to the second and third courtyards.
"No!"
Old Liu's face changed drastically, he exclaimed urgently:
"There are womenfolk in the backyard."
Womenfolk?
Several beggars' eyes lit up, running even faster towards the backyard, expressions excited with a hint of urgency.
They pretend to be beggars, but they're not real beggars.
More like bandits!
"Stop!"
Li San's face turned cold, bending his bow to draw an arrow.
"Whoosh..."
A fierce wind swept from the side, causing him to hastily dodge instead of shooting.
"Not giving you face, huh?" A beggar wielding a stick approached coldly, swinging his weapon down with a fierce expression:
"Shoot!"
"Shoot again, damn it!"
"Crack!"
The beggar's stick was fierce, Li San failing to dodge in time and had to intercept with his bow, resulting in the string snapping from the force of the blow.
Wu Hai and others instinctively drew their swords, while the beggars tensed up.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't make a move!"
"Let's teach them a lesson..."
"..."
In an instant, chaos erupted on the scene, the situation was about to explode.
"What's going on here?"
Just then, a slow voice came from outside the door, causing Wu Hai and the others, who were tense, to feel relieved.
"Master!"
"You're back!"
Unknowingly, Fang Zheng's status in their minds had become unshakable, as if his arrival would solve the problem.
"Hmm."
Fang Zheng nodded, walking into the scene, his gaze sweeping across the defiant beggars present, his brow furrowed slightly:
"What's the matter?"
His mood was originally great since he's made significant progress in martial arts recently, reaping various rewards, and didn't expect to encounter such a situation upon returning.
How unlucky!
"Master."
Old Liu hurriedly spoke:
"They forced their way into the Fang Mansion, wanting to stay in the courtyard, we tried to stop them but couldn't, fortunately, you arrived promptly."
"Is that so?" Fang Zheng shook his head, looking at Huo the Third, spoke patiently:
"This place is not welcoming outsiders, take your people and leave."
"No, let's not." Huo the Third put on a playful smile:
"Young Master Fang's mansion is so big, only a few people are living here, empty rooms are idly unused, letting us brothers stay wouldn't matter."
"Besides..."
"More people, more safety."
"What?" Fang Zheng's eyes darkened:
"Can you not understand human language or is there something wrong with your ears?"
"I said..."
He spoke softly:
"Take your people and leave this place!"
Huo the Third's smile stiffened, his mouth twitching, the corners of his triangular eyes emitting a cold light, gripping the cyan bamboo stick tighter.
Since joining the Beggar Gang and mastering martial arts, how long has it been since he encountered such contemptuous, disdainful, icy eyes?
However...
Before, those who looked at him like that all had their faces torn apart, and their expressions when they begged for mercy on the ground were so amusing!
