Chapter 339: Fighting against injustice
Chapter 339: Fighting against injustice
After a night of tossing and turning, Wei Wuxian looked a little tired, but his eyes were still bright, revealing the joy of surviving a disaster.
He stretched, his bones crackling, and said to Lan Wangji with a smile, "Lan Zhan, this night has been truly exciting. Now the people of Qingping Town can finally get some good sleep."
Lan Wangji nodded slightly and looked towards the streets of Qingping Town which were gradually becoming bustling.
In the morning light, shops that had been closed for many days opened their doors and windows one after another, and people cautiously poked their heads out. The fear on their faces was slowly replaced by the joy of rebirth.
Children were running and laughing in the alleys. Their clear laughter seemed like the most beautiful notes in the world, dispelling the haze that had shrouded the town for many days.
They walked side by side on the street. The people recognized the two immortals who had exorcised demons last night and gathered around them, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
An old man came forward with a few villagers and bowed respectfully to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. He said in a trembling voice, "Thank you so much, Immortals! If it weren't for you, Qingping Town would probably still be in dire straits."
Wei WuXian quickly helped the old man up and waved his hand, saying, "Old man, you're welcome. This is what we should do. As long as everyone is okay, that's all that matters."
Lan Wangji also said softly: "The evil has been eliminated. Everyone can live in peace."
The villagers gathered around, some gave homemade dry food, and some took out fresh fruits to express their gratitude.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji couldn't refuse, so they had to accept some. Looking at the villagers' simple smiles, their hearts were filled with warmth.
Before leaving Qingping Town, Wei Wuxian stood at the town entrance, looked back, and said with emotion: "Lan Zhan, look, in just one night, Qingping Town has become lively again. Every time I solve these troubles, I feel that the trip was worth it."
Lan Wangji nodded slightly, his eyes filled with determination: "Protecting peace in the world is our mission."
“That’s right!” Wei WuXian responded with a smile, “With Second Young Master Lan fighting alongside me, any evil spirit can be defeated!”
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, that smile was full of tacit understanding and relief after going through the ups and downs.
Then, they set out side by side on their journey to the next destination.
Along the way, the spring scenery is bright and the flowers are in full bloom.
Wild flowers in the mountains bloom wantonly, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow, and the breeze brings bursts of fragrance.
Wei Wuxian was in a good mood. He chased the butterflies flying by the roadside, and then ran to the stream and reached out to touch the clear water.
"Lan Zhan, look at how beautiful this scenery is! It would be wonderful if we could continue to travel around like this and exorcise demons and monsters along the way."
As Wei Wuxian spoke, he scooped up a handful of stream water and sprinkled it towards Lan Wangji.
Lan Wangji dodged slightly to the side, but couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, with a barely perceptible smile: "Don't be too playful."
Having said that, he didn't really blame Wei Wuxian.
The two walked along the winding mountain road and unknowingly arrived at a small town.
This small town is different from Qingping Town. It is very lively here, with busy streets full of cars and people coming and going.
The street stalls are full of all kinds of novelties.
Wei Wuxian was immediately attracted and pulled Lan Wangji through the crowd.
He stopped at a stall selling small items, picked up a wooden carved rabbit, and couldn't let it go.
"Lan Zhan, look how cute this little rabbit is. It's as elegant and upright as you."
Wei Wuxian smiled and handed the wooden rabbit to Lan Wangji.
Lan Wangji looked at the cute little rabbit, then looked at Wei Wuxian's expectant eyes, and his heart moved. He took out silver from his pocket and paid.
Wei Wuxian happily put the wooden rabbit into his arms, as if he had found some rare treasure.
Just as they were about to leave the stall, they suddenly heard a quarrel.
Wei Wuxian, out of curiosity, pulled Lan Wangji towards the direction where the sound came from.
I saw a group of people gathered together, and in the middle was a young woman with tears on her face arguing with several people who looked like servants.
"How can you be so unreasonable? This is a jade pendant passed down in my family. You can't take it away!" the woman cried.
A man who looked like a servant said viciously, "Humph, your family owes our master money, and this jade pendant is to pay off the debt. If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, or you'll be in trouble!"
Wei WuXian couldn't stand it any longer, so he stepped forward and said, "In broad daylight, you're robbing a woman of her belongings. Do you still have any respect for the law?"
The servants were stunned when they saw Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji dressed in extraordinary clothes, with a bit of immortal style, but soon became arrogant again: "Who are you meddling in other people's business? This is between us and her. You'd better not interfere!"
Lan Wangji frowned slightly, a cold aura emanating from his body: "Let her go."
Although the voice was soft, it carried unquestionable majesty.
The servants felt Lan Wangji's aura and were a little scared, but they were unwilling to give up.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a fat middle-aged man squeezed out from the crowd. He was the master the servant had mentioned.
"What's going on?" asked the middle-aged man.
The servant quickly recounted the entire incident. The middle-aged man glanced at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji and said disdainfully, "You two little immortals, stop meddling in other people's business. This woman's family owes me money, and using the jade pendant to pay it off is only natural."
Wei WuXian sneered, "It's only natural to pay back a debt, but you can't rob her. This jade pendant looks quite valuable. How can it be worth the small amount of money she owes you?"
The middle-aged man was left speechless by Wei WuXian's words, and became furious. "You... you dare to speak so much? I'll have you kicked out!"
Wei WuXian took a step forward, casually unsheathing his sword, a cold gleam flashing in his hand: "You might as well give it a try."
The middle-aged man was frightened when he saw that Wei Wuxian was serious, and quickly signaled the servants to let the woman go.
The woman glanced at Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji with gratitude and said, "Thank you both for saving me, gentlemen. I am deeply grateful."
Wei WuXian smiled and said, "Miss, you are too polite. When I see injustice, I naturally want to help. You must be more careful in the future and don't let these people bully you again."
The woman nodded, put away the jade pendant, and left with many thanks.
The onlookers gave Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji a thumbs-up, praising their chivalrous act.
After resolving the dispute, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji continued their journey.
They don’t know what kind of people and things they will encounter in the future, but as long as they are with each other, they are not afraid of any storm.
And these wonderful experiences will become the most precious memories in their lives and be treasured by the years.
