When he had just arrived at the Wind And Thunder Hall, Yao Yuan did not want to ruin the image that he had built up in Shen Ming's heart these past few days because of such a small matter.

However, looking at the old man in front of them, whose hair had turned white and looked as if he was at the brink of death, Yao Yuan could not bear to ask them for money.

In the end, he still came up with this method.

Originally, he planned to use it as an emergency fund for his own purposes. He was worried that Shen Ming, who was standing outside, would see that Yao Yuan had purposely moved to a different angle and used his body to obstruct Su Yun's view, allowing him to take out his bank card.

"Here is 30,000 yuan, that's all I can do. Although it's not much, it should be enough to deal with emergency situations. However, you still have to pay the protection fee, after all, I need to pay our boss."

Yao Yuan said softly.

The grandpa's hands trembled as he received the bank card. Just as he was about to say something, Yao Yuan interrupted them and said anxiously: "Quickly hand over the protection fee."

On one hand, it was the Wind And Thunder Hall's mission, and on the other hand, it was the trial of the human heart. Yao Yuan really didn't know what he should do.

They also understood what Yao Yuan meant. They looked at Yao Yuan gratefully and then took out an envelope that had been folded multiple times and placed it in Yao Yuan's hands.

"This is the only money we have left."

It was a pity that the old man said so, but Yao Yuan felt very uncomfortable listening to him, so he nodded and said, "Rest assured old man, I will come and visit you guys often from now on."

After receiving the protection fee, Yao Yuan was ready to return to hand it over to Shen Ming.

Something unexpected happened.

Yao Yuan's plan was very good. Even if he took out the money and gave it to his grandpa, no one would see it happen. Not only would he be able to complete the mission, he wouldn't be exposed.

This was supposed to be a well calculated plan, but after he turned around, Shen Ming's figure appeared in front of Yao Yuan.

Just like the first family, Yao Yuan stayed inside for a long time. This time, when he had thought that there would be some sort of conflict, he found it peaceful inside, and not even a single quarrel.

It's not scientific.

Shen Ming, who had some thoughts in his mind, quietly went to the roadside stall alone, and saw a few people with faint smiles on their faces. Shen Ming did not say anything, and waited for Yao Yuan to turn around himself.

"Yang Bin, what's wrong, did you accept the money properly?"

When he saw Shen Ming appear, Yao Yuan was initially a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down. With a smile on his face, he said: "Mn, I received it.

Yao Yuan smiled and placed the faith into Shen Ming's hands, then prepared to leave the stall.

"Hall Master Shen, let's go to the next house to take a look. Didn't you say we don't have enough time?"

Shen Ming shook his head: "No need to rush. Honestly speaking, I am quite interested in what you have done just now."

With that, she snatched the bank card that the old lady had not hidden in her hands, looked at Yao Yuan and asked: "What is this?"

Yao Yuan quickly took it over and smiled: "I just found this from Auntie, I was going to use this as a threat to begin with. Now that I have obtained the protection fee, I can give it back to her."

These explanations were all made up at the last moment by Yao Yuan. In just a few seconds, Yao Yuan had thought of an acceptable reason.

Only, Shen Ming who was in front of him seemed to not believe it at all, as he tilted his head and said: "Oh? "Is that so?"

After he finished speaking, he did not even give Yao Yuan a chance to react. Without further ado, he kicked out.

In front of all the customers in the food stall, he directly gave them two punches.

The strength behind the attack was so strong that Yao Yuan simply could not imagine it.

Much less Yao Yuan who had been beaten up. Fortunately, after he had become a Cultivator, his physique had improved a lot, and with the experience of being beaten up when he was young, he did not sustain any major injuries.

Shen Ming was tired of fighting, after he spat at Yao Yuan, he said lazily: "Brat, I did not catch your weakness right now, but you better remember this. Once you come to Wind And Thunder Hall, if you have any other thoughts, don't even think about it."

After he finished speaking, he moved closer to Yao Yuan and said: "Otherwise, you will die a miserable death."

If people were to find out, they would definitely die a miserable death. If Yang Bin had ulterior motives, who knows what kind of consequences it would bring him.

After giving a fierce lesson, Yao Yuan did not say anything. He only struggled to get up, and stood with his head lowered, not daring to look into Shen Ming's eyes at all.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Shen Ming did not continue to stay. With regards to the bank card in the aunty's hand, he threw his onto the ground disdainfully, turned around and left.

Yao Yuan quickly went over to the aunty's hands and handed the bank card back to her. Then, he quickly followed along with the rest of the team.

When he went to sleep at night, Yao Yuan suddenly felt tired all over. His previous mission seemed to have been to a place where he could only collect protection fees, but in reality, the entire process had been Shen Ming's assessment of Yao Yuan.

If one of them did not pass, or did not reach Shen Ming's satisfaction, then it was possible that their attitude towards Yao Yuan would become marginalized. When that time came, it would be hard to say what Yao Yuan would do next.

Everything was for his final goal, so Yao Yuan could only endure it in silence.

Just as Yao Yuan was falling asleep, the other office was still brightly lit. Zhang Yanhu and Shen Ming sat opposite of each other, staring into each other's eyes.

"How does the new guy feel?"

Zhang Yanhu said first.

Shen Ming crossed his legs and shook his head: "The background doesn't seem to be fake. It really does seem to be someone who picked up trash since young and asked for food. But right now, we are here, and at night, when we collected the protection fees, it was extremely organized.

"You mean, there's a ghost?"

"It's hard to say. At this time, the people from the Black Dragon Gang have come over, and I really can't say what their goal is. It's unknown whether or not they have complete control over what you've done."

Shen Ming said honestly.

Zhang Yanhu nodded his head and said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention. It's just that, you are not willing to do great things with me, and you are still acting for me, what will you do in the future?"

Shen Ming laughed and said, "Could it be that I will starve to death now? "No, you don't have to worry about me. Before you succeed, I will always be by your side."

Zhang Yanhu laughed and nodded.
