342: Chapter 342 Wei Zhaoxue

"Kid, you dare to steal in Dongchao City? Tired of living, are you?"

A burly man said rudely.

Clearly, they intended to pin the charge of theft on Lin Ming.

Regardless of whether he did it or not.

One must know that Dongchao City is extremely strict regarding public order. Under the cleanup efforts of that Disciple from the Canghai Sword Pavilion, any pickpockets, ruffians, or hooligans...

...have already vanished without a trace in Dongchao City.

Once discovered, one would have to go to the Dongchao City prison to have some tea.

The factions that have managed to remain are all obedient.

And the purpose of these people was to get Lin Ming into the Dongchao City prison, and then use the Liu Family's connections to properly entertain Lin Ming.

"What's the matter?"

At this moment, several men dressed in uniform blue and white attire walked over.

"Gentlemen, this person stole my property and refuses to admit it."

Shen Ze pointed at Lin Ming and said.

"Stealing?"

Ren Huai's gaze immediately fell upon Lin Ming.

Stealing?

Not necessarily.

He recognized this group of people; they were subordinates of Young Master Liu. They had dealt with them a few times before.

They were basically always helping that Young Master Liu deal with those who had offended him.

This young man was likely one as well.

Ren Huai also felt pity for this young man. Of all people to offend, he had to offend this little tyrant; his life was likely in jeopardy.

"Come with us."

Ren Huai said.

He was just a small squad leader and could not afford to offend the Liu Family. If he didn't arrest Lin Ming, he'd likely be fired tomorrow.

Between the truth and his rice bowl, Ren Huai decisively chose his rice bowl.

After all, sometimes the truth can be deadly.

"Wait, I didn't steal anything."

Lin Ming looked at Ren Huai and said.

"Whether you stole or not, we'll know after we investigate."

Ren Huai said.

Whether he stole or not was no longer up to Lin Ming to decide.

"This person probably offended someone from the Liu Family."

"Keep your voice down. Do you have a death wish? If you're heard, you'll be in big trouble."

"..."

Many people around also saw the clues.

After all, this wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

"You stole my things and still dare to quibble? We'll see what you have to say later."

Shen Ze said with an unkind expression.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Ming became interested.

He wanted to see what kind of methods the Liu Family had in store.

"I can prove that he did not steal anything."

A crisp voice rang out from the crowd.

As this voice sounded, the crowd's gazes turned toward the direction it came from.

Many people automatically made way.

They saw two women walking in, followed by several men behind them.

"Where did these..."

After hearing this, Shen Ze's face darkened.

Where did these reckless people come from, daring to disturb Young Master Liu's business?

Shen Ze's gaze immediately turned to where the voice came from. The moment he saw who it was, his words stopped abruptly.

His expression gradually became flustered.

"Since when did Young Master Liu's dogs become so arrogant?"

Wei Zhaoyue glanced at Shen Ze and said, sounding somewhat unfriendly.

Wei Zhaoyue usually wouldn't care about such small fry.

But that playboy Young Master Liu had harassed her, so she had incidentally remembered the people around him as well.

"I, Wei Zhaoxue, guarantee that this person did not steal anything."

Wei Zhaoxue looked at Ren Huai with a calm expression and said.

Wei Zhaoxue

Hearing this name, Ren Huai was immediately shocked.

He knew the Wei Zhaoyue beside Wei Zhaoxue; she was the youngest daughter of the current head of the Wei Family.

As for Wei Zhaoxue, he had only heard of this name.

She was the eldest daughter of the Wei Family head. From a young age, she had displayed extraordinary talent in cultivation and had been taken in as a Disciple by a True Monarch Elder of the Canghai Sword Pavilion.

She would actually stand up for this young man?

Could it be that this young man had some unusual status?

Ren Huai had an ominous feeling.

"If Young Miss Wei guarantees it, then naturally there is no problem."

Ren Huai said quickly.

He could not afford to offend Young Master Liu.

He could not afford to offend Wei Zhaoxue either.

He knew he could not arrest the person in front of him.

"Take these people in and educate them properly. Falsely accusing others at will corrupts the atmosphere of Dongchao City."

Wei Zhaoxue said.

"Young Miss Wei, we..."

The people around Shen Ze wanted to say something, but were glared back by Shen Ze.

"Take these people away."

Ren Huai immediately understood Wei Zhaoxue's meaning.

He immediately ordered his men to take Shen Ze and his group away; at worst, he would just release them later.

After all, they were Young Master Liu's people; he couldn't actually lock them up.

Just putting on a show would suffice.

Shen Ze did not resist at all. Seeing that Shen Ze did not resist, the others did the same and were taken away by Ren Huai and his men just like that.

Eldest Young Miss of the Wei Family

Lin Ming's gaze fell upon Wei Zhaoxue.

From the mouths of the people around, Lin Ming learned that this person was the Eldest Young Miss of the Wei Family, and also a Disciple of the Canghai Sword Pavilion.

She had taken the initiative to help him out.

Could it be that she had recognized his identity?

Seeing Lin Ming looking at her, Wei Zhaoxue nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Seeing this, Wei Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately caught up with Wei Zhaoxue.

"Sister, don't you know this person? Why did you just leave?"

Wei Zhaoyue said with a curious expression.

For her sister to take the initiative to help someone out, they must know each other.

Yet her sister just left like that.

This made Wei Zhaoyue feel a bit strange.

"Who told you I know him?"

Wei Zhaoxue looked at her younger sister and said.

"If you don't know him, would you help him out?"

Wei Zhaoyue retorted.

Don't know him?

She didn't believe it.

"Dongchao City needs to be cleaned up."

Wei Zhaoxue didn't answer Wei Zhaoyue's question, but instead said this to herself.

This made Wei Zhaoyue feel that there must be something fishy going on.

...

What a pity.

Seeing Wei Zhaoxue leave, Lin Ming shook his head inexplicably.

He still wanted to see what kind of methods the other party had.

He didn't expect to be interrupted by Wei Zhaoxue; Lin Ming found this a bit of a pity.

However, Lin Ming was now certain.

Shen Ze and his group were indeed Young Master Liu's people.

Adhering to the principle of "If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; if others offend me, I will definitely return it."

Lin Ming had also kept the Liu Family in mind.

Before he left Dongchao City, he had to make the Liu Family bleed a little, no matter what.

"A bit hungry."

Lin Ming started strolling through the night market.

...

Xingxiao Pavilion

Yuanxu Mountain Master Yun Xiao

Yongzhen Sect Master Wan Chuan

Ximo Mountain Master Shi Qing

The three of them appeared here.

And their purpose for appearing here was very clear.

"Old Pavilion Master, thank you for your hard work."

Wan Chuan said to the Old Pavilion Master.

"It's nothing, it is my duty."

Pavilion Master Xingxiao shook his head and said.

Some things were originally the mission of their Xingxiao Pavilion; it was what they needed to do.

"Where is the Senior of our sect!"
