However, charging in so openly not only risks a futile effort but could also expose his face, bringing disaster to his village.
At this moment, Yun Lun was filled with a sense of moral unease; doing something was wrong, but not doing anything was even worse.
Inside the carriage, a boy dressed in luxurious clothing, but with a gaunt face that suggested he had indulged excessively, stared intently at the girl before him.
Although he was only ten years old, for someone like him, nothing was an issue.
The girl was bound hand and foot, her mouth gagged, making it impossible for her to speak. She never expected that coming out to play with her brother would lead to an unexpected ambush.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in this carriage.
...
Yun Lun suddenly scoffed inwardly; if doing good deeds ever became something to hesitate over, then he would no longer deserve to be called human.
“Ahao, stop that carriage for me,” Yun Lun said, pointing at the carriage ahead.
Upon hearing Yun Lun's command, Yun Hao rushed directly in front of the carriage without hesitation. The "Power" Divine Script activated immediately.
The coachman merely laughed at the sight; since there was an oblivious fool blocking the way, he might as well run him over with the carriage.
To him, killing a few people was inconsequential.
Yun Hao swung his fist and struck the horse in front of the carriage, knocking it down with one blow.
Then he swiftly halted the speeding carriage.
A huge tremor startled the Young Master in the carriage. "What's going on? Can't even handle a carriage properly?"
The coachman, furious, shouted, "Who dares to block the Zhao Family's carriage? Die!"
The Young Master Zhao realized the reason and was extremely angry.
However, such matters were usually left to the servants to handle.
Seeing this situation, passersby quickly avoided them, not wanting to get caught up in the trouble.
The coachman directly attacked Yun Hao, unleashing a powerful surge of spiritual energy toward him.
Yun Hao showed no fear and countered with a punch.
When their attacks collided, a tremendous burst of spiritual energy erupted. The coachman was forced back several steps, while Yun Hao remained completely unharmed.
At the moment the battle broke out, Yun Lun quietly approached the side of the carriage, utilizing the ability of the Divine Script "Analysis."
As he shattered the carriage with one punch, he also landed a punch on Young Master Zhao's face, knocking him to the ground.
He then quickly picked up the girl beside him.
Turning to Yun Hao, he shouted, "Retreat!"
Yun Hao also threw a punch to fend off their opponent before running alongside Yun Lun.
One couldn't help but marvel at the power of the Divine Script "Strength," making Overlevel Combat seem effortless.
At this point, Young Master Zhao had also come to his senses and shouted at the coachman, "Anyone who dares to rob me on the road should hurry and chase them down! Notify the family and pursue those two with all your might!"
Do not be fooled by Young Master Zhao's loud voice at this moment; he is extremely anxious inside. If that little girl is rescued, his family will be doomed.
...
Meanwhile, Yun Lun and Yun Hao are hurriedly fleeing, with their first target being Azure Peak Mountain. The terrain on the mountain is complex, which will help them shake off their pursuers more effectively.
Yun Hao only needs to think about fighting and following Yun Lun, making things much simpler than what Yun Lun has to consider.
...
After a chase, Yun Lun successfully shakes off the pursuers behind them. With Yun Hao around, the opponents dare not get too close for fear of being counterattacked.
Yun Lun looks at the girl sleeping on his back and feels a mix of emotions. This girl seems quite brave; perhaps she was just calmed down after being startled earlier and has now fallen asleep.
Next, he worries about whether they will trace back to their village.
After all, one can run away from the monk but not from the temple. Given the urgency of the situation, they could only hope that no one would find out.
Today can be considered a failure; they didn’t sell anything and instead attracted trouble.
For a moment, Yun Lun feels a bit frustrated. Well, he decides to go home first and figure something out; they can't let a little girl spend the night on the mountain.
He then calls Yun Hao and heads toward the village.
As soon as they reach the village entrance, they encounter the village chief. The chief looks at the little girl sleeping on Yun Lun's back and is instantly taken aback but quickly regains his composure and asks, "Little Lun, why did you come back with a little girl after going out?"
"Chief, let's talk about this when we get back. We had some unexpected incidents today, and we might need to prepare early," Yun Lun replies softly as he approaches the chief.
Upon arriving at the village chief's house, Yun Lun recounted the entire situation.
After listening to the matter, the village chief furrowed his brows tightly.
"I know this is a troublesome issue. If anything happens, just blame it all on me; I have a clear conscience," Yun Lun said as he stood up.
Regret? He wouldn't regret it. If he hadn't acted, he would feel guilty for a lifetime, knowing that his cowardice ruined someone's life.
No amount of reasoning would change that.
The village chief sighed helplessly; in truth, he preferred to live a peaceful life.
But since that wasn't possible, a decision had to be made soon.
"You and Ahao should take the girl somewhere else and hide yourselves."
...
The Zhao Family.
Young Master Zhao knelt on the ground, while a middle-aged man stood above him—Zhao Family Head.
"How did I end up with such a useless son? Are the affairs of those imperial families something we ordinary small families can involve ourselves in?"
Young Master Zhao lowered his head and remained silent. He felt that it was his father's suggestion for him to get along well with Li Chengfeng.
Now, after helping out, he was being blamed.
Seeing that this guy showed no signs of remorse, Zhao Family Head felt a headache coming on.
However, what he wants now is to find a way to protect the family, rather than getting entangled in this situation.
What he fears most is not that the girl's family will come to kill him, but that someone will destroy the evidence by eliminating him first.
And then there's his foolish son; if this matter isn't brought to light, it will surely be fine, but now he's put himself in a terrible position.
The family is likely finished.
If only he had practiced with a backup plan earlier. Sigh.
At this moment, Young Master Zhao's mother looked at her son with a pained expression and said, "You can't blame everything on my son; setting aside the facts, aren't those people also at fault?"
Hearing his mother defend him made Young Master Zhao feel more confident.
"Shut up," Zhao Clan Leader shouted angrily.
What's the point of discussing this now when they're on the brink of death? The main issue is that they don't have the strength to fight back.
