The waiter was holding an abacus while unceasingly exposing the food Yan Xiaoxi was eating.

In an instant, everyone's attention was on Yan Xiaoxi as they looked at her in disbelief.

She had enough money for a meal to last her a year.

"Twenty taels of silver in total." The waiter quickly calculated the total price.

Once the price was announced, the people in the inn were stunned once again.

Yan Xiaoxi had no concept of money. After she left the palace, she pawned all the gold and silver from her room in exchange for a lot of banknotes.

She felt in her pocket and was about to pay when she realized that her purse was missing.

Heavens! Did he have to mess with her!?

Yan Xiaoxi wanted to shout three times into the sky, but when she looked up, she discovered that it was the roof.

Now, even looking at the azure sky, this small wish of hers could no longer be satisfied. Yan Xiaoxi could already imagine her future, dark beyond compare.

"Miss, twenty taels of silver." The waiter couldn't help but remind Yan Xiaoxi when he saw her stunned.

From the moment they entered, the waiter had known that Yan Xiaoxi was neither rich nor noble. From the expensive Jiang-Nan silk on her body, one could tell that ordinary people were simply unable to afford it.

Therefore, she wasn't worried about Yan Xiaoxi not having the money to pay the bill.

Yan Xiaoxi counted with her fingers how long she would need to work before she could finally finish repaying the meal. Since she was young, her master had told her that one must take responsibility, and must not eat for free.

"About that .. about that .." Yan Xiaoxi found it hard to speak.

"Does Miss want anything else?" The waiter naturally didn't think that Yan Xiaoxi would want to say that her purse had been stolen.

"My purse is missing, so .."

"What?" You want to eat an overlord's meal? " The waiter would never have expected such a situation to occur.

"No, I can work to pay off my debts." Yan Xiaoxi looked at the waiter innocently. She didn't want to pay because she didn't have the money. If she caught that damn thief, he would be torn apart into pieces.

"Men, someone wants to eat an overlord's meal." The waiter shouted loudly, and in a flash, over ten sturdy men rushed out.

Yan Xiaoxi knew martial arts, but her master's warning still lingered in her mind. She couldn't just leave like that.

The people in the inn were discussing and pointing at Yan Xiaoxi. All of their gazes were filled with disdain as they looked at Yan Xiaoxi.

Amongst the crowd, only the white-clothed man remained silent, not saying a word.

"Fight! You want to freeload? No way!" Upon hearing that Yan Xiaoxi did not have the money to pay the bill, the waiter immediately turned hostile and changed his attitude.

A dozen strong men lined up together and approached Yan Xiaoxi, scaring the rest of them into fleeing.

This was the first time that Yan Xiaoxi had ever seen something like this. She was at a loss for what to do, so she hurriedly said, "Speak nicely, don't make a move."

However, how could the muscular men listen to such persuasion? The moment they attacked, they grabbed onto Yan Xiaoxi's slender arm.

Yan Xiaoxi felt very helpless. She felt extremely sorry for him. If he didn't make a move for fear of hurting her, then she would be in for a ride of misfortune.

"I'll pay the twenty liang for her." As he looked towards the source of the voice, he saw a man with an extraordinary bearing sitting a few steps away from him.

His white robes fluttered, and he had a handsome face. He held a folding fan in his hand as he looked in that direction.

Wow! Beautiful man!

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi's eyes were shining, and she was so excited that she was about to faint.

In the market, there was an endless flow of people coming and going.

The peddler passionately called out, showing a scene of prosperity.

"Brother Bei, thank you so much. I will definitely return the twenty silver taels to you." Yan Xiaoxi and Bei Bai were walking side by side in the crowd.

Bei Bai Xi smiled lightly. He didn't know why he helped Yan Xiaoxi, but he had seen this kind of thing before in his many years in the martial arts world. However, he always chose to stay out of it, and this time, he made an exception.

"It's fine, money is just a thing." As he looked into Yan Xiaoxi's limpid eyes, he felt that her eyes were bright and clear, as if she could speak, making it impossible for anyone to reject her request.

"Brother Bei, I really like your free and easy character. No wonder we became friends at first sight." Yes, not only had he saved her, but he had paid her twenty silvers, and he had paid her for the inn and invited her to dinner.

She really was a kind, considerate and gentle beautiful man.

Yan Xiaoxi suddenly felt that she was too lucky.

"Xi Er, you're too polite." Bei Bai didn't expect the situation to develop to this extent. He had only helped a dozen strong men bullying a weak girl, but who knew that he would be completely outdone by Yan Xiaoxi.

But why did he not hate this feeling at all?

"Brother Bei, look, the candied fruits over there seem to be quite tasty?" Yan Xiaoxi pulled Bei Bai Xi along and walked in the direction of the hawker without asking for his opinion.

He had long seen Yan Xiaoxi's gluttonous nature.

The more he interacted with her, the more he realized that this girl was simply adorable.

"Brother Bei, do you want it?" Yan Xiaoxi took two candied fruits and reluctantly handed one to Bei Bai.

Her master had said that as a person, one must repay kindness with kindness. Even if she loved delicious food, she still had to cut off love. Who told Bei Bai Xi to pay for it?

Yan Xiaoxi understood the logic of 'eating someone with a soft mouth and taking a soft hand'.

Bei Bai Xi shook his head. Seeing the unwillingness in Yan Xiaoxi's clear eyes, he felt that it was extremely funny.

Did she really want to give him such an aggrieved appearance?

"Catch the thief!" It was unknown who shouted in the distance, but it completely attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, a sneaky man ran past Yan Xiaoxi. Before Yan Xiaoxi could take action, Bei Bai who was by her side had already caught up to her.

"Good job." Yan Xiaoxi applauded as she did not notice a figure approaching her silently.

The people on the scene were whispering and chatting, praising the bravery of Northwestern.

In the blink of an eye, Bei Bai Xi caught the thief and brought him to Yan Xiao Xi.

"Brother Bei, you're too awesome!" Yan Xiaoxi waved at Bei Bai Xi. The smile on her face was like a blooming flower, she was smiling so much that she could barely contain her smile.

"Thank you, benefactor." The woman who had her purse stolen came out and knelt down to kowtow.

He helped the woman up and handed her the purse. "You're welcome," he said.

The woman took it with tears in her eyes. This was money for buying medicine for her husband. What if it was really stolen?

"Out of the way, out of the way." When the officials received the report, they rushed over in time.

The passersby dispersed one by one, retreating to the sides of the road.

"I heard that there's a thief here." A soldier asked.

"Yeah."

"You guys came late. You've already caught them." The bystanders agreed.

The officer walked to the middle and saw Bei Bai Xi. From his expensive clothes, he knew that he could not afford to offend this person. He said respectfully, "Thank you, young master. Leave the rest to the government."

Beiming Ce nodded and threw the thief to the soldiers.

After settling the matters at hand, he prepared to meet up with Yan Xiaoxi. He looked towards where Yan Xiaoxi was standing and discovered that she had actually disappeared.
