Although he was slapped in the face by the other party, Sima Yan seemed to be awakened. Not only did he not get angry, but he calmed down and looked straight at the sloppy old man in front of him.

"Why, who's eyes widened? Hey, old man, I've never been afraid of anyone, come on, just glar!" Seeing that Sima Yan stopped acting, the old man also withdrew his hand, then widened his eyes and looked straight at Sima Yan in front of him.

Sima Yan took a deep breath, looked at the sloppy old man, blinked, then squeezed out a smile and clasped his fists and said, "I offended you so much just now, please forgive me for your crime!"

"..." After hearing Sima Yan's words, the sloppy old man opposite was obviously stunned, blinked, then looked back and touched his head and said, "Little...boy, what nonsense are you talking about? I and you are the only ones here. Who is your senior? Don't scare me, I... old man, I'm timid..." As he said that, the sloppy old man shrank his head and took a step back, looking at Sima Yan vigilantly.

Sima Yan was also curious when he saw this. The old man didn't follow the script at all. What did he want to make a fuss about? But then he seemed to understand. It seemed that he had really misunderstood something. The old man should be just an ordinary person. After a silence, Sima Yan did not say anything, but picked up the kettle on the ground, patted it, and tied it to his waist.

"Slow down... boy, you... aren't you going to argue with the old man? Your kettle has been defiled by me, and you still want it?" The sloppy old man was a little anxious when he saw that Sima Yan stopped making trouble with him, and immediately started yelling.

Sima Yan smiled slightly, stopped talking, and immediately turned around and left. Just kidding, since ordinary fists and feet could not fight each other, why should I continue to fight? Do I need to use my cultivation to a mortal? Although he is young, he also knows the truth that he should not bully the weak.

"Grandpa...you are fighting with someone again! Huh, I finally found you..." At this moment, a silver bell-like voice came, and there seemed to be a little anger in his tone, which made Sima Yan, who was about to leave, stop curiously and turn around to look.

Next to the sloppy old man, there was a girl of the same age as Sima Yan. She had a pink and jade-like face, a white skirt that was floating in the air, and there was a hint of anger on her face. At this moment, she stared at the sloppy old man in front of her with her eyes wide open, and spoke loudly with her little hands.

"Ah... that, good granddaughter, nothing happened. Grandpa, I'm so obedient today. I didn't find anyone to fight! Really, if you don't believe it, ask... ask that kid, have I fought with him..." The sloppy old man looked at the little girl with a flattering smile, and while saying, he winked at Sima Yan.

Sima Yan smiled slightly, did not answer, but was ready to leave. He would not have been bothering because the old man used his kettle. Since the old man's family came, he naturally had no need to stay and say more. As for helping the old man explain, he also had no interest.

"Look, I said that there was no fight, and people were afraid of being beaten by you and didn't dare to speak! Brother, wait, are you wronged? Don't be afraid, I will help you get justice." As he said that, the little girl behind him actually chased after him, as if she wanted to hold Sima Yan.

Sima Yan was stunned. Seeing the other party being caught, he immediately hid sideways. Since he didn't want to pursue it, Sima Yan naturally would not stay any longer and no longer care about anything at the moment. The cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining was activated, and then he immediately stepped forward.

"Nee..." However, just as Sima Yan took less than three steps, he felt a crisp sound of cracked silk roaring on his back, and a chill was shivering. His hand couldn't help but be stunned. The Taoist robe on his back was torn apart, and the cool breeze in late autumn was whizzing in, and the other end of the broken Taoist robe was tightly grasped in the hands of the little girl who had just been chasing.

"Ah... I'm sorry, sorry, little brother, I... I didn't mean it!" Seeing this scene, the little girl was obviously startled and suddenly felt a little at a loss. Her face turned red and she kept apologizing.

Sima Yan reached out and patted his forehead, and couldn't help but complain, could he not look at the almanac when he went out today? Or was he the disaster star shining today? However, seeing the little girl still apologizing, Sima Yan reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, little sister, don't care. Is that your grandfather? Well, he didn't fight with someone just now, so you don't have to worry anymore."

"Really? You are so nice little brother! My grandfather's name is Ding Yi, my name is Ding Ling. Our house is on the east side of the city, not far from here. By the way, I don't know what your name is..." Hearing Sima Yan's words, a hint of joy finally appeared on his face, and then he began to introduce himself.

Looking at the joyful look on Ding Ling's face, Sima Yan felt a little touched for no reason, and then he frowned and said, "My name is Ma Yan, I am not from Nanling County, I just passed by by chance." Sima Yan originally wanted to report his name, but he didn't know if there was a big master's eyewitness around him. After a little thought, he decided to change his name decisively.

"Oh... It turns out that the little brother came from another place, no wonder... You must have been bullied by my grandfather just now. You don't know, my grandfather likes to bully people from other places the most. Don't worry, I will ask him to apologize to you!" As he said that, the little girl Ding Ling shouted immediately, then turned around and glared at the sloppy old man Ding Yi behind her again.

"I...I really didn't bully him! Good granddaughter, look, he is such a young man, how could I bully him grandpa! Yes...Young man, speak quickly!" The sloppy old man kept winking at Sima Yan again.

"Don't threaten others! Grandpa, apologize to him quickly..." Ding Ling naturally saw the sloppy old man Ding Yi winking at Sima Yan, and immediately pointed his hand and said.

"Oh... forget it, boy, I was wrong with the old man just now. I shouldn't have teased you, please forgive me!" To Sima Yan's surprise, the sloppy old man Ding Yi actually apologized to Sima Yan sincerely after seeing his lie being seen through by the little girl. However, seeing this natural apology look, Sima Yan could feel at a glance that the other party must have apologized a lot.

"It's okay, since I have apologized, that book... I can leave. It's not a big deal. Little sister, let's leave." Sima Yan smiled slightly and was about to leave.

"But... little brother, your clothes are stolen by me... Huh, no, you'd better go back with me. My brother is about the same height as you, you should be able to wear his clothes. Let's go, my house is not far in front..." As he said, Ding Ling looked at Sima Yan very seriously, then pointed to the front and said.
