章節 520: Naughty Hands

The guards were exactly what Xu Feng expected. In movies and books, guards in this kind of situation were either portrayed as upstanding and honorable—a rare minority—or they were corrupt, greedy, and prone to abusing their power.

As two of the four guards hovered around Feng Yujie, trying to press their luck with her, this guard stuck to Xu Feng like glue.

Xu Feng had thought he might need to intervene, playing the white knight, but Yujie handled herself well. She quickly made it clear she was an ability user by surrounding herself with a light wind current, skillfully deflecting any unwanted hands that claimed to be "just doing their duty."
