Chapter 442: Chapter 442 Halo Overhead_1

Su Chengyu headed to the stall of the little girl. At that moment, a group of ruffians approached, going from stall to stall collecting stall fees. This section along the river was officially designated for night markets, and all vendors need to pay a monthly garbage collection and stall fee.

But there were still hooligans demanding protection money in the area. If vendors refused to pay, these gangs would trash their stalls and harm them.

The vendors, who were all just hardworking common folk, dare not provoke these street gangs. They reluctantly part with their money. These days, it wasn’t easy to set up a street stall to make a little money.

"We just paid the protection fee for the month last week, why are you asking for it again?" some vendors protested.

"The people who collected the protection money last week were Xiong’s men, but I’ve driven him away. Now this turf is mine. As for the protection fee, everyone needs to pay it again, plus an extra five hundred for each stall. Pay up and you won’t have any troubles. To anyone who dares not to pay, don’t blame me for being ruthless," declared the leader of the thugs, a middle-aged man.

A vendor sighed helplessly: "They’re changing guards again. New men come to collect money every once in a while. There’s just no order here, is there?"

Although the vendors were unwilling with every fiber of their being, cursing these men as vampires, they had no choice but to pay up for fear of offending them.

On seeing this, Su Chengyu frowned, prepared to step in and teach these men a lesson.

A thug approached the blind girl’s stall. She said, "Big Brother, I didn’t bring any money today. I only earned a bit over hundred yuan. Can I pay you back tomorrow?"

The thug looked the little girl up and down. Seeing that she was innocent and adorable, he couldn’t help but harbor ill-intentions.

"Sure! But tonight, you have to keep me company," the thug said, reaching out to touch the little girl’s face. She quickly retreated to avoid his touch.

"Oh? Pretending to be blind now, are we? It’s your good luck that I took a liking to you. What are you hiding from?" the thug claimed.

The scar-faced leader of the gang walked over and asked. "What’s going on?"

"Big Brother, this girl says she has no money. I thought she was quite pretty and wanted to take her along for some fun."

The scar-faced man glanced at the little girl, furrowing his brows. "She’s blind. But she’s really innocent and cute. I like her. Let’s take her back."

An older female vendor nearby quickly said, "Big Brother, she’s still young! She doesn’t know any better! Let me cover her fee for her. She’s disabled, so please have mercy on her."

"What’s this got to do with you? You’ve got a lot of money, do you? Your stall fee goes up by a thousand!" The scar-faced leader angrily kicked over the old woman’s stall.

The little girl, scared, quickly tried to run away, but was blocked from both sides by the thugs.

"Where do you think you’re going, little blind girl? Do you think you can escape?"

The thug was about to grab the little girl, when he suddenly felt his collar being yanked. As he turned around, he found that Su Chengyu had stepped in.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you touch me, are you tired of life?"

Su Chengyu, without a word, threw the man into the river. He didn’t know if the man had fallen to his death or not, but the sight of Su Chengyu taking action sent the scar-faced man into a fit of rage. "Brothers, slash him!"

All at once, seven or eight gang members rushed towards Su Chengyu. From thin air, Su Chengyu emitted a blast of energy that sent them flying. Some of them hit railings and fell into the river, others went crashing hard onto the ground, screaming in pain, their bones broken in multiple places.

Those seven or eight thugs were all sent flying, not one of them still capable of standing.

The scar-faced man’s legs went weak from fright. As he profusely sweated, he trembled. To him, a man that could send seven or eight guys flying with one attack was nothing short of a top-tier fighter.

Compared to a real fighter, they were nothing.

Scar-face, in sheer terror, fell on his knees, begging, "Spare me, please, spare my life!"

Su Chengyu spoke coldly, "Return their money."

In a rush, the scar-faced man emptied all the money from his bag, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

"From now on, this place is under my protection. If you dare to come and collect protection money again, I will kill you." Su Chengyu’s words were ice cold and seemed filled with an aura of danger that scared scar-face to his core.

"I won’t dare! I absolutely won’t dare! I won’t ever step foot on this street again!" Scar-face promised quickly.

"Go away!"

Scar-face and his injured gang members scrambled away, Su Chengyu was sure that Scar-face would never dare set foot on this street again. He hadn’t hurt him because if Scar-face got wounded, other gangs would quickly swoop in to take this area, then a new group of people would come to collect protection money again.

As long as scar-face stayed in the area, these people would be safe.

All Su Chengyu could do for them was this. There were too many injustices in the world, he couldn’t fix them all. He just happened to come across this one and addressed it as he could.

All the street vendors were grateful to Su Chengyu and thanked him profusely. Su Chengyu waved his hand, "There’s no need to thank me. It was nothing."

He noticed the blind girl had been scared, so he decided not to check into the strange aura he sensed from her. He turned and left.

About a kilometer out, he stopped and turned around, "Come out. Why are you following me?"

The strange little girl emerged from behind a roadside hedge. Her hands clutched the corners of her dress, and she hung her head low. The cloth strip remained over her eyes.

Su Chengyu smiled lightly. He had intended to examine this strange girl, but to his surprise, she had followed him. This was indeed strange.

"Why are you following me?" Su Chengyu approached her, causing her to back away instinctively.

"I...I noticed that you’re different from others so I..." The little girl said shyly, looking a bit timid.

"What’s so different? Just because I fought off those bad guys?" Su Chengyu laughed.

But the little girl shook her head. "There was a halo of light above your head, like the immortals on TV. Are you an immortal?"

Surprised, Su Chengyu’s face changed immediately at her words. The little girl said that there was a halo of light above his head. This was definitely a big issue!

Cultivators would refine nature’s spiritual energy, and ultimately form a ’Three Flowers Gathering at the Top’, and become real immortals. Su Chengyu was still a long way from achieving ’Three Flowers Gathering at the Top’, but having enlightened and entered the Qi refining period, he had formed the Person Flower, one of the three flowers, hence the halo of light above his head.

Although the Person Flower was formless, even the Qi Watching Technique of cultivators couldn’t detect it. Only those who had cultivated the Heavenly Eye Divine Power could see it.

"How did you know there was a halo of light above my head?!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Su Chengyu became alert. This was his secret and should not be easily known. Yet, now, a strange girl who seemed ordinary had spoken the truth about his secret, and Su Chengyu immediately became nervous.

"I...I..."

Frightened by Su Chengyu’s aggressive tone, the little girl shivered and did not dare to speak.

Su Chengyu took a deep breath to calm down and gently said, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t harm you! I just want to know how you knew there was a halo of light above my head."

Biting her lip, the little girl said, "I...I saw it."
