Chapter 68

"Hey, hey, hey, little princess, don't cry! I won't leave, I won't leave!"

Seeing Mu Jianping's eyes redden, Lin Sha immediately panicked, feeling a sense of guilt as if he had bullied a kindergarten child. He subconsciously took two steps closer, wanting to comfort the innocent girl properly.

"Get lost, you corrupt official!"

Fang Yi, her phoenix eyes filled with anger, rushed in front of Mu Jianping first, scolding fiercely and slapping a palm towards Lin Sha.

"You little wench, your tricks aren't very appealing!"

Lin Sha grabbed Fang Yi's snow-white hand, applying a bit of force, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes as he warned in a deep voice.

He wasn't like Wei Xiaobao, who would be dazzled by every beautiful woman he saw and almost resort to any means to pursue her. In his first life in the modern world, what kind of beautiful women hadn't he seen?

He had been to various entertainment venues with his boss, even played with foreign beauties. Though he wasn't a playboy, he wasn't easily swayed by beauty.

"Ouch!"

Fang Yi groaned in pain as her wrist was grabbed, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred, her teeth clenched, her face pale, and cold sweat pouring down, yet she still looked charming!

"Big bad guy, don't bully Sister Yi!"

Seeing the atmosphere turn tense, the little princess, Mu Jianping, forgot about her tears and hurriedly rushed over, blocking between the two, her innocent face pale and pitiful.

"Ha ha, for the sake of the little princess, I'll let Sister Yi off this time!"

Lin Sha laughed, letting go and playfully pinching the little princess's delicate nose, teasing, "Does the little princess still want to hear stories?"

Compared to the experienced and unpredictable Fang Yi, Lin Sha adored the innocent and lively little princess, Mu Jianping, to the core.

Cough, cough, don't misunderstand, he had no interest in middle school girls. To him, Mu Jianping was just an innocent middle school girl who didn't understand the world.

It was precisely because of her innocence and simplicity that Lin Sha enjoyed teasing the little girl.

In his first life in the modern world, he had seen too many scheming women, even little girls in elementary school weren't simple. This was why he had delayed getting married for so long. Being a black boxer was a high-risk job, and he had devoted almost all his energy to it, not daring to relax or slack off, leaving no time to make girls happy.

In his second life in the world of Wong Fei-hung, he mostly interacted with Thirteen Aunt, who was too Westernized and not his type. Later, his master introduced him to some women, and even matchmakers came to his door, but he was focused on practicing internal martial arts and had no interest in marrying a woman with bound feet, so he ended up dying in his twenties.

As for the current world of "The Deer and the Cauldron," he was busy regaining his strength in the logistics camp when he first arrived, and had no time for romance.

Now that everything was stable, no matchmakers were helping him find a partner, and he couldn't just go around proclaiming that he was a wealthy bachelor and that families with daughters should send matchmakers to his door.

So, his current attitude towards romance was still influenced by his first life, where he didn't look favorably upon scheming women and particularly liked the innocent and lively nature of someone like Mu Jianping. Therefore, he was especially patient and indulgent with the little princess.

"This..."

The little princess, Mu Jianping, lightly furrowed her cute little brows, her watery eyes darting between Lin Sha and the furious Fang Yi, her face full of distress and hesitation.

Lin Sha couldn't help but feel a softness in his heart!

This was clearly an innocent and naive little girl. He couldn't understand how Mu Jianping and Liu Dahong could bring such an innocent girl out to wander the江湖 (jianghu, the world of martial arts and chivalry).

...

"Who's there?"

Just as Lin Sha was about to 'surrender' to the little girl, a sudden shout from one of his subordinates in the small courtyard was followed by a muffled groan, and then silence.

They're here?

Lin Sha's heart tightened. Ignoring the bewildered little princess, he rushed forward and struck Fang Yi, who looked relieved, unconscious with the back of his hand, only telling her to "stay inside" before hurriedly rushing out.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

He had just rushed into the courtyard when several whistling sounds came at him.

"Come on!"

Lin Sha suddenly roared, his white wax pole, with the spearhead removed, darting out like a snake, the tip dancing in a flurry of pear blossoms, clashing fiercely with the incoming swords and sabers.

"Die, corrupt official!"

But at that moment, a roar came from behind him, followed by a sharp whistling sound of a weapon slicing through the air, the cold wind of the attack already reaching him.

"Want to sneak attack? Not that easy!"

Lin Sha sneered, twisting his waist, and his long pole suddenly retracted, the handle transforming into a spearhead like a snake's tongue, striking the back of the ring-headed saber with pinpoint accuracy!

A crisp 'ding' sounded, and Lin Sha, using the recoil, loosened and tightened his grip, the two-meter-long white wax pole sliding forward, the tip and handle switching positions.

With a light flick of his wrist, the tip of the pole vibrated sharply, whistling through the air, changing direction unpredictably, sweeping left and right, enveloping all the enemies in front of him in a flurry of spear flowers.

Ding, ding, ding...

Bang, bang, bang...

The white wax pole in his hands was like a storm of pear blossoms, swirling left and right, unpredictable. The three martial artists in front of him, losing their advantage, were forced to defend themselves, their weapons moving like the wind, barely protecting themselves, unable to launch any attacks.

"You few, quickly go and rescue the little princess and Fang Yi! This boy is mine to deal with!"

The martial artist behind Lin Sha, seeing the situation was not good, immediately slashed his saber while reminding his companions to focus on their 'main task.'

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

This old man was truly formidable, his ring-headed saber wielded with great power and momentum, the wind from the blade already stinging Lin Sha's back before it even reached him.

He's a master!

Lin Sha's heart tightened, not daring to be careless. His white wax pole suddenly swept horizontally, forcing the three martial artists back. He stepped forward, maintaining his momentum, and then suddenly twisted his waist, the pole spinning around him like a snake, the tip pointing directly at the old man's waist!

Swish, swish, swish...

Taking advantage of Lin Sha being engaged with the old man, the three martial artists, who had been pressed back by his pole, decisively retreated and hurriedly ran towards the room where Fang Yi and the little princess were being held, clearly familiar with the layout of the courtyard.

"Corrupt official, take this!"

Seeing Lin Sha's ferocity, the old man dodged the sudden attack, raised his saber, and charged at Lin Sha, slashing down with great force...
