This Lingxiao Pavilion disciple who had suddenly stepped out of the crowd circled around the two big men several times, with a somewhat cynical expression on his face, and his eyes gradually turned mocking.
The two big men saw that he came with ill intent and frowned deeply. The one who was supporting the other glared with round eyes and roared: "You little brat, walking around like that is making my head spin. What do you want?"
The youth chuckled, stood in front of the two, and took a deep look at the one who was 'poisoned'. He said: "This complexion is pale and blue; it looks like you are heavily poisoned."
"That's right," said the supporting big man, following up on the opportunity with a ferocious expression. "If it weren't so, why would we brothers not go to a doctor? Instead, we risked our lives to come here to expose this unscrupulous boss, so that the neighbors will know his true face and never come to buy rice here again."
Boss He's face turned pale; he had no idea what the two men were really after. If they had come to extort money, he could understand that, but this false accusation was completely bewildering and he couldn't see through their scheme.
While he was deep in thought, Yang Kai asked softly from the side: "Uncle He, have you offended anyone recently?"
Boss He thought hard and said with a mournful face: "No."
"Then your rice shop is blocking someone's path to wealth?" Yang Kai was young but had seen much of the world's deceit, and with a turn of thought he considered this possibility.
"It's a small business; how could it block anyone's path to wealth?" Boss He shook his head repeatedly.
"That's strange!" Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked toward the scene, pondering the possibilities, but still couldn't figure it out.
In the middle of the scene, the Lingxiao Pavilion youth laughed coldly after asking a question, then angrily shouted at the man with the pale complexion: "Take this!"
As he shouted, he launched a move, Black Tiger Pounces on Heart, straight at the poisoned man's chest.
What happened next astonished everyone. The man who had looked so weak, moaning since his appearance as if one foot was already in the ghost gate, actually leaped back nimbly as the punch came, displaying a bearing as still as a virgin and as swift as a hare.
With this movement, the pale blue color on his face instantly disappeared, becoming extremely rosy.
The surrounding crowd let out a cry of surprise, clearly shocked by this sudden turn of events.
"Poisoned, huh?" The Lingxiao Pavilion youth looked at the two big men mockingly. "To have such agility even while poisoned, I have to admire you."
The two big men, seeing their scheme exposed with one move, also had expressions shifting from blue to pale, now looking like they were really poisoned.
The onlookers also burst into jeers. They were not fools; seeing this, who could not know the truth? These two men, for whatever reason, had come to pretend to be poisoned and slander He's Rice Shop, but their trick was exposed by this Lingxiao Pavilion youth.
For a moment, the scene was filled with contempt for the two men and praise for the Lingxiao Pavilion youth. This youth, who was already likable in appearance, had now confirmed his reputation as a young hero.
Yang Kai vaguely realized that this was a double act, a performance of protecting the righteous, helping the weak, and then leveraging gratitude for a favor! If he hadn't accidentally seen them together in the alley when he arrived, even he might have been fooled.
But what exactly was the purpose of all this fuss?
At this point, the two big men could no longer pretend. They glowered at the Lingxiao Pavilion youth and said: "You little brat, who are you? How dare you meddle in our brothers' affairs?"
