On the other side, Zhou Yi had opened the door.
"Who is it? Don't knock, knock again and you'll have to pay for the door!"
Seeing Zhou Yi open the door, Brother Ma immediately spoke up: "Ah, old man! Weren't you supposed to be here?"
"How come you're so energetic now?"
"Oh, it's you guys." Zhou Yi pretended to suddenly realize.
"Well... I was just sick because I didn't take my medicine, so I'll be fine after taking two more pills."
He said this while smiling apologetically.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Brother Ma immediately interrupted Chu Yi.
"I'm telling you, hand the person over to me quickly! If you don't, you'll regret it!"
Chu Yi scratched his head, then waved his hands: "I don't know who you're looking for!"
"If you're looking for Old Lady Liu, she's not here!"
"You dare mention Old Lady Liu?" Brother Ma immediately became angry.
"We're looking for that little woman, Lin Wanru!"
"We've already checked the surveillance footage; she's heading towards your place!" "Hand the person over immediately!"
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
Zhou Yi sighed: "Alas, young people shouldn't be so hot-headed."
"I advise you to resolve this yourselves properly, don't be so stubborn."
"Otherwise, my title as the contemporary grandmaster of Hunyuan Xingyi Pili Tai Chi Quan is not to be trifled with!"
"Hunyuan Xingyi..." "Brother Ma was a little confused by the reprimand.
What made this old man so confident?
He couldn't help but size up the old man in front of him.
He looked weak and frail, old and weak.
Never mind whether he knew how to fight, he probably could only stand on the stairs for half a day.
Just this?
This damn guy dares to call himself a grandmaster?
A younger brother beside him also chuckled: "Haha, and you even have the Hunyuan Xingyi, you're not surnamed Ma, are you?"
"Do you also have the Lightning Five-Linked Immortals?"
"And the Five-Linked Immortals? I bet one punch from us could send him dreaming!"
At this, the crowd burst into laughter.
Even Brother Ma was both angry and amused: "Do you know who I am?"
"Back then, I was known as the 'Dongling Sword,' single-handedly defeating seven or eight people."
"You're trying to show off in front of me? You're really tired of living!"
"Let me tell you, hand the person over quickly! If you don't, don't blame us for loosening your bones!"
Zhou Yi sighed again: "Ah, what if I don't say anything?"
"No?" Brother Ma laughed, "Then we'll just charge in ourselves! Can you stop us?"
With that, Brother Ma was about to lead the charge.
Inside the room, Lin Wanru's heart immediately leaped into her throat.
What to do?
They're about to break in!
How could I have trusted this old man's son, thinking he could do anything?
This time, I'm finished!
Just then, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from outside the room.
Following that, there was a bloodcurdling scream.
"Ah!!!"
"My hand! My hand is broken!"
Lin Wanru didn't dare listen anymore; this must be that old man whose hand was broken!
"Ah... Old man, I'm so sorry."
"It's all my fault for involving you..."
Just then, she suddenly heard another bloodcurdling scream outside.
"Ah! My hand!"
But this scream was distinctly different from the previous one.
It sounded like two people?
Lin Wanru suddenly shook her head.
No, it was two people screaming at the same time!
But that old man wasn't just one person, was he?
She went to the corner of the hall, cautiously tilting her head to look outside.
This glance immediately shocked her.
The one lying on the ground screaming wasn't the old man.
It was Brother Ma and another thug!
As for that old man?
He stood there, his hands clasped behind his back, not a speck of dust on his body.
He looked like a wise sage.
"How is that possible?!" Lin Wanru's eyes widened in disbelief.
At the gate, even Ma Ge, screaming in terror, wanted to ask this question.
He had originally thought this old man was weak.
But in reality, he was as solid as an old dog!
He had initially charged forward, intending to directly overwhelm him.
But unexpectedly, he was the one who was overpowered!
That old man was like a mountain; even with all his might, he couldn't budge him at all!
Then he decided to directly attack.
Unexpectedly, he was instead twisted at the joints.
Then, with a crack,
His arm bones were ripped off!
His entire arm was dislocated, the pain was so intense he screamed in agony.
Another younger brother, seeing the situation was dire, immediately intervened, but his arm was also ripped off, and he screamed in terror along with the other.
Now, Ma Ge's gaze towards the old man had completely turned to fear.
Why is this old man so powerful?!
Just now, he hadn't even clearly seen the old man's movements, and his arm was ripped off!
If he had been truly ruthless...
Thinking this, Ma Ge trembled even more violently.
Seeing two people have their arms ripped off in a single move,
The remaining thugs immediately dared not advance further.
Zhou Yi remained unfazed: "What did I say? Young people shouldn't be so aggressive!"
"I advise you, young rat, to think carefully about this, and don't do such things again in the future."
"We want to maintain peace and uphold morality, understand?"
"Yes... Yes." Brother Ma nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at grain.
Completely lacking his previous arrogance.
He knew he had been tricked today.
But this was too bizarre.
Who could have imagined that an old man over 80 years old could fight like that?
"Brother Ma, then... should we continue?" The younger brother hurriedly helped Brother Ma up, his heart trembling as he asked.
"Continue? No way! Let's go!" Brother Ma just wanted to get as far away from this old man as possible.
But as they stood up, they heard Zhou Yi's voice again.
"Wait a minute!"
This single word instantly froze everyone.
Brother Ma, his voice hoarse, said, "Sir, do you... have any further instructions?"
"Don't call me 'sir,' my surname is Ma, call me Master Ma!" Chu Yi started spouting nonsense again.
"You've been knocking on my door for so long, you're practically breaking it! Aren't you going to be grateful and ask me to replace the door?"
"Grateful?" Brother Ma was stunned for a few seconds. "Oh! I understand! I understand!"
Saying this, he quickly pulled out several bills.
Chu Yi looked at them with dissatisfaction: "Only that much?"
Brother Ma immediately understood: "Well... please wait a moment!"
Saying this, he went to his younger brother to gather the money.
One of the younger brothers was still very reluctant: "Brother Ma, this is the money I earned from finding Lili tonight, could you please...?"
"Why waste words? Just take it!"
Brother Ma snatched the money, then turned around and respectfully handed it to Zhou Yi.
"Master Ma, do you think this is enough?"
Zhou Yi then nodded: "Yes, it's enough. You can go now!"
Brother Ma and the others, as if granted a pardon, disappeared like a wisp of smoke.
Zhou Yi took the money, and as he turned around, he saw Lin Wanru looking at him as if he were an alien.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Wanru didn't acknowledge him, but instead came closer and scrutinized him from head to toe.
After a long while, she finally spoke.
"You... Who exactly are you?"
