"It's a misunderstanding! I just realized I didn't have enough money in my pocket. So I tried to stall for time and went back to get it," Wan Ruo explained.
Bing Tu frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "Stall for time, huh?"
He reached out to search her, but Wan Ruo instantly panicked and quickly slapped his hand away.
She demanded, "What do you think you're doing?"
"I suspect you're lying! Of course, I need to verify. If you're not guilty, why are you so panicked?" Bing Tu said and was about to attack again.
Wan Ruo naturally wouldn't let him succeed.
"What do you want to verify? Just say it directly. Why do you need to search me?"
The two immediately fought. Every move Bing Tu made was skillfully dodged by Wan Ruo.
Although Wan Ruo couldn't defeat Bing Tu, she could still hold her own for a few rounds.
Seeing that Wan Ruo was quite agile, Bing Tu tried to restrain her.
He grabbed Wan Ruo's hand and pulled her towards him. In an instant, he wrapped his arms around her and locked her in his embrace.
Wan Ruo struggled hard. Bing Tu instantly felt something strange with the hand around her chest.
Before Bing Tu could react, Wan Ruo broke free from his restraint, turned around, and slapped him hard across the face.
This slap from Wan Ruo instantly enraged Bing Tu. He frowned tightly and said, "You!"
Just as Bing Tu was about to attack Wan Ruo again, she quickly turned around and tried to escape.
Seeing that she was about to run, the hand he stretched out landed on her hair bun. He grabbed it hard and pulled out the jade hairpin.
At this moment, Wan Ruo's long hair instantly scattered.
Only then did Bing Tu realize that the young fellow in front of him was actually a girl, and a very beautiful one at that!
He stood there, staring blankly at Wan Ruo.
"Hey! Give it back to me!" Wan Ruo reached out her hand to ask for the jade hairpin in his hand.
Bing Tu pulled back the hand holding the hairpin and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a girl!"
"What's it to you? Give it back!" Wan Ruo stepped forward to snatch the hairpin.
But Bing Tu grabbed her wrist. Wan Ruo tried to break free but couldn't.
Just then, someone suddenly appeared, put an arm around Wan Ruo's other shoulder, and kicked Bing Tu several meters away.
This person appeared so suddenly, as if out of thin air. Bing Tu didn't even have time to react.
He took a heavy kick and took several steps back before stopping. He straightened his body and dusted off the front of his chest.
Looking at the man beside Wan Ruo, it was Bai Chen.
Bai Chen protected Wan Ruo in his arms and whispered, "Are you okay?"
Seeing Bai Chen, Wan Ruo couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She smiled and shook her head.
"Give it back!" Bai Chen said coldly to Bing Tu.
"You mean this?" Bing Tu showed the jade hairpin in his hand and asked provocatively.
Bai Chen gave him a sharp look and casually waved his right hand. The jade hairpin instantly flew into his hand.
"This is my thing. How could I let you touch it casually!" Bai Chen said coldly.
Seeing this scene, Bing Tu was instantly stunned. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression facing this man. This guy!
At this moment, Wan Ruo, seeing Bai Chen standing up for her, stuck out her tongue at Bing Tu behind Bai Chen's back and said, "Neener neener..."
Seeing the arrogant looks of the two, Bing Tu rushed forward suddenly.
Bai Chen protected Wan Ruo behind him. Facing Bing Tu's fierce attack, he easily stood his ground without moving a single step.
After several aggressive attacks from Bing Tu, he found that he couldn't cause the slightest harm to Bai Chen!
He looked at this terrifying man from a distance. He didn't expect that there was such a highly skilled martial artist in the imperial capital. He could block his attacks effortlessly!
"Sir!" At this time, Ba Er brought back Bing Tu's jade pendant.
Ba Er saw his master sweating profusely and the powerful aura of the man on the opposite side. He instantly wondered if something had happened.
He was about to go and fight Bai Chen, but Bing Tu stopped him with a single hand.
Bing Tu took his jade pendant. The feeling of getting it back made him feel much better.
When traveling, it's better to make a friend than an enemy, especially an enemy as powerful as this!
"Gentlemen, as the saying goes, we become friends through fighting. It's all a misunderstanding! I'd really like to make friends with you two. If we have the chance to meet again, I wonder if we'll be that lucky!"
Seeing more and more onlookers around, Bing Tu quickly said, "I'll take my leave first. See you if fate allows!"
After saying that, Bing Tu and Ba Er turned around and left, disappearing into the crowd.
"Why do they seem to be dressed like people from outside our area?" Wan Ruo looked at their backs and asked doubtfully.
She didn't notice Bai Chen's look at her at all, which was like looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"Ah..." Wan Ruo let out a scream.
Bai Chen grabbed Wan Ruo, picked her up, and walked towards the Shananfang.
Wan Ruo saw the onlookers pointing and felt very embarrassed. She looked up at Bai Chen, who seemed not to care at all and just walked forward on his own.
"What are you doing? Put me down quickly!" Wan Ruo said angrily.
Bai Chen just said coldly and teasingly, "You'd better be quiet now, or you'll regret it later!"
Looking at Bai Chen's evil expression, Wan Ruo suddenly felt a little embarrassed. What on earth was this guy up to?
Bai Chen carried Wan Ruo back to the residence and threw her on the bed.
With a wave of his hand, there was a loud "snap", and the doors and windows instantly closed.
Wan Ruo shivered in fright. But it wasn't over yet. Bai Chen actually started to take off his clothes in front of Wan Ruo.
She quickly covered her eyes and said with a blushing face, "Are you okay? How could you do such a hoolish thing in broad daylight! Stop it quickly!"
She secretly peeked through her fingers. Bai Chen's clothes were just open, revealing his strong chest muscles. His attractive figure made people can't help but take a few more looks.
"Well, it is indeed a bit too bright!" Bai Chen looked around and waved his hand. The room instantly became a dim space.
In this dim space, it gradually lit up bit by bit, filled with flickering candlelight. It was so romantic!
Wan Ruo was instantly captured by the surrounding atmosphere. The ambiguous smell became stronger and stronger.
Bai Chen pounced on the bed and pressed on top of Wan Ruo. His slender fingers gently stroked the hair beside Wan Ruo's ear.
Wan Ruo's face instantly became hot.
"Your face is so hot. Are you shy?" Bai Chen said teasingly.
"No, it's just that I'm a bit hot from the candlelight!" Wan Ruo still tried to argue.
But she didn't know that her evasive eyes had already been seen through by Bai Chen.
Bai Chen thought that Wan Ruo's shy look was so cute. He couldn't help but hug her tightly to his chest, wishing he could melt her into his bones.
"I'm almost suffocating," Wan Ruo said weakly.
Only then did Bai Chen realize that he had been too forceful. He quickly let go of Wan Ruo. Seeing Wan Ruo looking like she was out of breath, he couldn't help but find it funny.
His eyes were sharp. He immediately noticed that Wan Ruo was acting. He said coldly and teasingly, "You're having such a hard time breathing. Do you want me to give you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?"
