"Wha... why are you laughing?"

Xu Fan's smile at this moment was clearly mocking her.

Asao Mai frowned and questioned him.

"Do you think what I'm doing is wrong?"

You have to know, to support these little girls, I've been through quite a bit these days!

I've even brushed past danger several times!

Is what I'm doing really wrong?

"Do you think I should praise you for your compassion?"

Seeing Asao Mai's questioning eyes, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Indeed, you have helped these kids, but with your approach, how long can you help them?"

"Have you thought about this question?"

"You should know, the world isn't as safe as you think."

Xu Fan didn't deny Asao Mai's compassion, but letting her continue stubbornly like this, Xu Fan couldn't possibly support it.

Whether it's her scams for money or dealing with those loan shark gangs, these aren't things a girl like her can handle.

Taking these little girls on the run, did she really think she was filming a TV drama?

"I..."

Xu Fan's few questions made Asao Mai blush immediately.

Indeed, if it weren't for Xu Fan being there today, she and the little girls would have been in trouble already.

She was quite young, and saying this, indeed she initially hoped Xu Fan would praise her a bit.

But what she got was Xu Fan's criticism.

The difference in expectations made this young girl well up with tears in her eyes from grievance.

"Hmph! Can't you just praise me a little?"

Biting her lower lip, Asao Mai looked over at Xu Fan with a face full of grievance.

Seeing her, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Praising you would be harming you; I don't want to see these four cute little girls ruined by you."

"You!"

Seeing Asao Mai clenching her fists, ready to fight him, Xu Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"If you beat me to death, then these four little girls would really have no hope."

"Hmm?"

Hearing Xu Fan's words, Asao Mai's eyebrows shot up in surprise!

From what he's saying, could it be that he really has a solution?

Thinking carefully, since he's so capable, maybe he indeed has a way to help these four girls.

"You… you have a way? Quick… tell me!"

Immediately, Asao Mai looked anxious as she urged him.

"Why are you rushing?"

Xu Fan rolled his eyes at her and leisurely took out his phone.

He found Feng Huang's number and said, "Remember this number."

"When the time comes, call her and say that Xu Fan asked you to find her; once you've explained everything, she will naturally help take care of these four little girls."

The situation of these four girls bears a significant resemblance to Feng Huang's own background, and she is currently indeed doing charity work to aid such wandering children.

Even without his introduction, Xu Fan believes she would help take care of the four little girls.

With Feng Huang's strength, Xu Fan can understand her doing this charity work, but as for Asao Mai, Xu Fan doesn't think she is really suitable.

Once the number was given to Asao Mai, she memorized it firmly in her heart.

However, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

"You… are you sure this person is really reliable?"

With doubts lingering, she sought confirmation from Xu Fan.

Listening, Xu Fan couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Don't worry, she's definitely more reliable than you."

You must know that with Feng Huang taking care of these four little girls, they would be backed by White Crescent.

Which loan shark would dare to mess with White Crescent? Xu Fan thinks that would be like banging their head against a wall.

"Their issues will naturally be handled by someone next, but as for you, little Mai, don't you plan to tell me about your own situation?"

From what Asao Mai said, she has no blood relation to these little girls.

That is to say, they aren't a family as he had assumed initially.

Xu Fan was indeed curious about how this pigtailed girl ended up on the streets.

With a smile, he asked, looking at her.

"I..."

Xu Fan suddenly switched the topic to her, looking straight at her, making Asao Mai tense up instinctively.

Her eyes wandered for a while before she spoke.

"What else could it be, I'm just the type you said, the bad girl aspiring to be a runaway female bandit."

"Hey, you're so skilled. Can you teach me a few moves too, so I can be a bit more capable? After all, you wouldn't want to see a cute girl like me being bullied by bad guys, right?"

With a pout, Asao Mai deftly changed the topic.

"..."

Clearly, this woman has her own story but doesn't intend to share it with a stranger like him.

While Xu Fan was curious, he wasn't about to pursue answers relentlessly; he shrugged and said, "Sure, teaching you is no problem, but I don't just teach anyone."

"Really? What... what are the conditions, but be clear, I... I have no money!"

Seeing Xu Fan go along with her diversion, Asao Mai's heart leapt with joy, and she eagerly grabbed onto the new topic.

"The condition is simple, be in a film with me."

"Go die!"

Watching Xu Fan tease her so calmly, Asao Mai's small fists landed directly on Xu Fan's chest.

To be honest, she wasn't sure herself whether she had successfully fooled Xu Fan just now.

"By the way..."

Suddenly something came to Asao Mai's mind, and immediately she looked over at Xu Fan with a worried expression.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing her suddenly worried face, Xu Fan frowned and asked.

"You... you might have gotten yourself into big trouble."

"Big trouble? You don't mean those loan sharks, do you?"

"Of course not!"

Seeing Xu Fan still so relaxed, Asao Mai was so anxious she almost stomped her foot!

Looking at Xu Fan, she said, "You're a martial artist; the ancient cultivators will definitely come after you."

Now that things had settled, Asao Mai remembered this point.

Earlier, Xu Fan's actions against those loan sharks had already exposed his identity.

Even though she didn't know why a martial artist like him would dare to come to Ancient Nara, he undoubtedly was in trouble now.

The loan sharks wouldn't let it rest so easily.

If news spreads that a martial artist has entered Ancient Nara, Xu Fan will surely be targeted by those ancient cultivators!

"Hmm? Ancient cultivators, what's that?"

Seeing Asao Mai's anxious expression, Xu Fan feigned ignorance and asked.

This made Asao Mai so frustrated she almost stomped in anger!

"You..."

"Ancient Nara is a forbidden zone for martial artists! Otherwise, why do you think I dared to commit robbery?"

"Those ancient cultivators don't allow any martial artist to enter Ancient Nara! If they find you, they'll destroy your cultivation level!"

"Oh?"

Listening to Asao Mai's urgent explanation, Xu Fan squinted his eyes with a smile and said, "I suddenly realize, you know quite a lot, huh?"
