When Feng Yunshu approached, she looked up and saw a disheveled young man kneeling in front of a gloomy middle - aged man, defending himself.
At the same time, Feng Yunshu noticed that the little cat spirit she had seen before was staying beside the young man.
The little cat spirit was baring its teeth at the middle - aged man opposite, looking extremely hateful. From time to time, it tried to grab the young man's arm beside it, but as a spirit body, it grasped at nothing and looked extremely dejected.
Feng Yunshu looked down at Xiao Ling. "Ask this little cat spirit what exactly happened here and who this young man is. If it refuses to say, tell it that we can help it."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling, lying in Feng Yunshu's arms, raised its head slightly and looked at the little cat spirit. Its eyes gradually glowed red as it used its spiritual power to communicate with the little cat spirit.
Soon, Xiao Ling told Feng Yunshu all the information it had learned.
It turned out that the young man kneeling on the ground was Chang Fang, the son of the owner of the Five - Spice Pavilion. However, his father had passed away not long ago, and the one scolding young Chang Fang was his uncle, Chang Dazhu.
In order to gain the management right of the Five - Spice Pavilion, Chang Dazhu framed young Chang Fang, a teenager at that time, saying that he was indulged in gambling and women all day long and was a complete prodigal.
But according to the little cat spirit, it had been raised by young Chang Fang since childhood and knew him very well.
Young Chang Fang had been an upright, kind, smart and capable teenager since childhood and was by no means as useless as his uncle had described.
After learning this information, Feng Yunshu basically understood the reason. It turned out to be a fight for family property!
The reason why Chang Dazhu did this was probably to make others believe that he was scolding young Chang Fang not because he was coveting the Five - Spice Pavilion, but for the long - term development of the restaurant.
The little cat spirit was really loyal and affectionate. Even after passing away for many years, it still guarded young Chang Fang in the form of a cat spirit. It was just a pity that it was not powerful enough to protect him better.
Feng Yunshu looked up at the Five - Spice Pavilion. This restaurant was located in the most prosperous central business district of the whole street in the imperial city. Since there was no one in charge of the Five - Spice Pavilion now, then...
Xiao Ling saw Feng Yunshu slowly curl her lips and show a confident smile. It understood immediately. "Master, what are you scheming this time? Look at your smile. Can you be a bit more low - key?"
"Your master is about to start a great career of making money! This is probably Master guiding me from the sky!"
Feng Yunshu had an idea in mind. Looking up, she saw Chang Dazhu holding a discipline stick and about to whip young Chang Fang. She immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab the stick.
"Stop."
Chang Dazhu glanced at Feng Yunshu and immediately darkened his face. "Where did you come from, miss? This is our Chang family's family matter. When did we need outsiders to interfere?"
Feng Yunshu sneered and threw the rattan away. She walked to young Chang Fang's side and helped him up. "A man should be upright. Get up quickly."
Young Chang Fang looked at the beautiful woman wearing a veil in front of him and was a bit stunned for a moment.
"Beautiful sister, do you... do you know me? But I seem to have never seen you before..."
Feng Yunshu curled her lips and smiled. She deliberately leaned over and whispered in young Chang Fang's ear, "Young Chang Fang, it doesn't matter whether you've seen me or not. I only have one question for you. Do you want to keep the Five - Spice Pavilion?"
Young Chang Fang nodded without hesitation. "Of course!"
"I can help you, but you have to do everything as I say."
For some reason, although young Chang Fang didn't know the beautiful woman in front of him, he inexplicably wanted to trust her. So he quickly nodded and agreed to Feng Yunshu's request.
Feng Yunshu patted young Chang Fang on the head. "Leave the rest to me."
Seeing that Feng Yunshu insisted on interfering in his family's affairs, Chang Dazhu was extremely angry. He took a few steps forward and glared angrily at Feng Yunshu. "You little girl, I warn you not to meddle in other people's business, or you'll regret it!"
Feng Yunshu thought it was really funny to see him looking like he was about to eat someone. Who was he trying to scare?
"Are you young Chang Fang's uncle? Brother, young Chang Fang's father just passed away, and you're bullying his only son like this just to seize the power of the Five - Spice Pavilion. Isn't this a bit inhumane?"
"You're just talking nonsense! Slandering me! When did I ever bully my nephew? Who exactly are you? How do you know so much about our Chang family's affairs? I think you have ulterior motives!"
Chang Dazhu looked extremely ferocious when he was speaking, and his voice was as loud as thunder, making people's ears numb.
"Come on, get this crazy woman who's deliberately causing trouble out of here for me!"
At Chang Dazhu's order, a group of tall and strong thugs rushed out. Each of them was holding a long stick and looked menacing.
The on - lookers around stepped back subconsciously when they saw something was wrong, afraid of being implicated. Some kind - hearted people also advised Feng Yunshu not to meddle in other people's business and leave quickly.
But Feng Yunshu was the calmest one in the whole scene. She slightly raised her head and glanced contemptuously at the line of thugs in front of her, then snorted.
"Humph, do you think you can touch me? Don't you know your own limits?"
After saying that, Feng Yunshu sent a message to Xiao Ling. "Xiao Ling, it's your showtime!"
"Don't worry, master. Dealing with these ordinary people is just a piece of cake. Master, watch me!"
Xiao Ling was overjoyed. It had been a long time since it followed its master to "rule the world". Today it could finally show its spiritual power again. It was extremely happy.
Just as Xiao Ling was about to release its spiritual power to deal with these thugs, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind. "Wait!"
Everyone present turned their heads in unison and saw a tall and slender man in a blue robe standing outside the crowd.
Although the man wore a silver mask on his face, covering most of it so that his real appearance was not clear, his bearing was extraordinary and his charm was outstanding.
When Feng Yunshu saw who it was, her face changed slightly.
Wasn't this masked man the one she met on the way back to the mansion when she escaped that day? And he even said he wanted to pursue her!
The man strode forward and stopped beside Feng Yunshu. He took a small step forward intentionally to protect Feng Yunshu behind him, then turned to look at Feng Yunshu. "Miss, are you okay?"
Feng Yunshu came back to her senses at this moment and quickly shook her head. "I'm okay."
"That's good. I didn't expect we'd be so fated to meet again. Do you still remember me?"
Feng Yunshu gave an embarrassed but polite smile. "Hehe, I think I've vaguely seen you somewhere..."
On the opposite side, Chang Dazhu was extremely angry when he saw the man ignoring him and chatting with Feng Yunshu. He roared.
"Where did this meddling kid come from? If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly, or both of you will regret it!"
Before Chang Dazhu could finish his words, the blue - robed man slightly raised his hand. A strong wind like a sharp blade slapped hard on Chang Dazhu's face. With a crisp cracking sound, Chang Dazhu's mouth was directly slapped crooked.
"Ah!"
Chang Dazhu let out a scream and covered his crooked face, scolding angrily. "What are you standing there for? Attack me!"
Several thugs rushed up again. The blue - robed man curled his lips and sneered. He closed his long fan with a snap and took several quick steps forward.
Everyone present, including Feng Yunshu, could only see a blue figure of the man. They couldn't see clearly what he had done at all.
They only heard the continuous wails of the thugs, and then they all fell to the ground like dumplings.
