章節 16: 16. Good Wife
"Um. It's my duty to protect," Shi Yi said, nodding repeatedly. Then he looked at Xun'er, his eyes asking what he should do next, appearing a bit troubled.
When Shi Yi said this, the remaining people lost hope and began running in different directions, including Han Xian and Bai Cheng.
Seeing them run, Xiao Yan and Xun'er made eye contact, and Xiao Yan nodded to Xun'er.
"Little Yi, there is no need to do anything for now. But in the future, if they trouble us, we must teach them a severe lesson," Xun'er said to Shi Yi.
Since everyone had left, there was no point in chasing after each one. With Shi Yi as their deterrent, that was enough. They didn't need to overdo it by attacking others; they could use peaceful methods like blackmailing and other similar approaches.
"But even though we aren't going to punish them for bullying us newcomers today, we are going to ask them for protection fees. Hehe," Xiao Yan laughed, looking in the direction of the 'White Gang,' where Bai Cheng had fled. He wanted to blackmail them in return.
Hearing this, Shi Yi turned around with a curious expression, as if asking, "What is a protection fee?"
Xun'er noticed this and approached Xiao Yan, whispering softly, "Xiao Yan Ge-Ge, can we not teach him about these things? It's not the time for him to learn these crooked ways." She said this with a complicated look. If it were anyone else, she would have wanted Xiao Yan to exploit them for personal gain. She didn't care about anyone except Xiao Yan.
But seeing how innocent Shi Yi was, she felt a little guilty. This handsome young man was also the second person she allowed to get close to her. Despite various factors that made Xun'er think this way—such as Shi Yi's beautiful face, powerful talent, innocent character, and Xiao Yan's acceptance of him.
—she wouldn't have cared if the person were ugly or weak. She only cared for Shi Yi because of his pleasing appearance and remarkable strength.
Overall, she didn't want to exploit this innocent-looking, handsome younger brother. Meeting someone who didn't look at her with lust, and who was around her age, was rare for her. Due to her beauty and her love for Xiao Yan, she had been avoiding friendships with people her age because they often looked at her with lustful gazes.
Meeting Shi Yi left a good impression on her, and she thought having such a younger brother wasn't bad. So, for the first time, she asked Xiao Yan something for the sake of someone else.
Xiao Yan acknowledged that Xun'er was right. He had been listening to Xun'er's teachings to Shi Yi and was very proud of her character. He praised his own wits for taking advantage of Xun'er when they were young, which led to him having such a virtuous and caring wife.
Although he felt a little jealous when Xun'er asked him something for the sake of another man, the man in question was Shi Yi—his innocent new younger brother and a super powerful talent.
Xiao Yan appreciated the way Xun'er was teaching Shi Yi. He decided that his first child would be with Xun'er, not with anyone else. His child would be very fortunate to have such a good mother.
Xiao Yan put his hands on Xun'er's head, patting her. Xun'er allowed him to do so in front of everyone.
"Xun'er, you are right. I'll listen to you," Xiao Yan said. He didn't want to take advantage of someone's innocence. It was against his moral code: 'Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't you dare bully me because I'm poor now.'
To blackmail others, there was no need to involve Shi Yi. They could handle it with their words, using Shi Yi directly only when an unsolvable problem arose.
After discussing their faction's future plans and how to blackmail others, Xiao Yan turned to his faction members. Each one was brimming with joy.
Who would have expected they could invite a great figure into their faction without spending a single penny? Now the newcomers whispered about their future safety and more.
Xiao Yan didn't beat around the bush and shared some of his plans. Afterwards, with Xun'er, Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and Shi Yi, he walked toward the 'White Gang' Pavilion while the others waited.
As for what happened inside the 'White Gang' quarters...

Nearly five months passed quickly since that day. During this time, the lives of the Pan's Gate members improved dramatically. Everyone had a steady supply of 'Fire Energy,' allowing them to focus on their training.
After Shi Yi joined Pan's Gate, its reputation surged significantly. Many participants from the 'Strong Ranking,' such as Lin Yan, also joined Pan's Gate. Notably, the 'Brute Force Queen,' Zi Yan, who always stays within the Pan's Gate headquarters, became a prominent figure there.
As a result, after five months, the reputation of the current Pan's Gate surpassed even Lin Xiuya's 'Wolf Teeth' and Liu Qing's 'Splitting Mountain.' While these factions still had their own experts, Pan's Gate boasted a greater number of skilled individuals.
Two months ago, Xiao Yan broke through to Dou Ling, and several significant events occurred during this period, including the Inner Academy's strong ranking competition, which concluded five days ago.
Although Shi Yi's arrival brought many changes and the Strong Ranking top ten now included Shi Yi and made someone loose their spot, the match between Xiao Yan and Liu Qing still took place like in the original novel, with both competing for the 10th spot.
