I suddenly woke up from my daze, thanked him profusely and left the motorcade.
The sky was getting a little brighter, and I was really sleepy, so I ran to a thatch and lay down.
I fell asleep as soon as I lay down. When I woke up again, it was already dawn.
I stretched and stood up from the ground.
Just when I was about to get up and go to the center of the hall to find Xu Ruofeng, a piece of silver hit the ground in front of me heavily.
I:???
When the old woman in front of me saw my expression, she took out a few more silver coins from her pocket, handed them to me, and said, "It's so pitiful that such an old child comes out to beg!"
I was confused and let her push the silver coins into my hand.
"Wait...wait a minute, who is begging?"
I asked in surprise.
"If you sleep here, what is that but begging?"
The old woman showed a kind smile on her face and comforted me: "If you come out to beg at such a young age, something unfortunate must have happened to your family. This is not shameful."
I was at a loss to explain, and I hurriedly explained for a long time before the old woman understood what was going on.
And I finally understood that this kind of straw hut was built by the Demon Palace with funds raised to allow beggars to have a fixed place to live.
"Young man, you should go home quickly, so as not to worry your family!"
The old woman tried to persuade me.
Listening to her heart-warming words, I nodded sincerely and said goodbye to her.
Just a few steps out, I saw a child running over in a hurry.
When he saw me, there was a hint of joy on his face.
"Big brother!"
The child shouted to me in a childish voice.
I stopped and looked at him inexplicably.
He ran to me, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me, his eyes full of nervousness.
After I read the contents of the note, my face felt a little stunned, but then the corners of my mouth twitched.
I took a deep breath and said softly to the child: "I understand, you should go home quickly and stop running around outside, okay?"
Hearing this, he nodded excitedly, his young face filled with pride, just like a primary school student who had completed the teacher's task.
I looked at the familiar person standing on the stage at the far end, and despite all my reluctance, I walked over silently.
At this moment, Xu Ruofeng was standing in a place similar to a ring, with a signature smile on his face, and said lightly: "Who else is dissatisfied? You can come up and compete with me!"
There was silence under the stage, and there was no sound.
A middle-aged man with a bruised nose and swollen face got up from the ground. He wiped the blood on his face and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't accept it. You are a boy from the human race and you are not qualified to be our leader!"
Xu Ruofeng spread his hands and said: "This is the request of the Demon Palace. I dare not disobey it! Besides, if you don't accept it, you can come up and defeat me. I have nothing to say and will resign to the Demon Palace on my own initiative."
"But the key is that you don't have this ability!"
Hearing Xu Ruofeng's taunt, the middle-aged man suddenly became furious. Just when he wanted to rush onto the stage to regain his face, people on the side stopped him one after another.
"Young man, if you lose, you lose. Letting him serve as the leader is the requirement of the Demon Palace. Besides, the human race is the human race, and the Demon Palace has not said anything, which naturally means that there is no problem."
"Yes, yes, that guy is very strong, he might as well be our leader!"
When he heard people around him trying to comfort him, he immediately suppressed his anger and lost his temper.
Seeing that there was no movement below, Xu Ruofeng clapped his hands and said slowly: "Since there is no objection, I will make it official."
"I don't accept it!"
I bit the bullet and walked up from the stage.
Seeing my arrival, Xu Ruofeng's smile became even brighter and she said lightly: "Oh, you don't accept it? Do you dare to fight me?"
