Chapter 672: Xiang Yunfei

Xu Tian didn't have any identity documents. He was originally a stowaway, and he didn't have a transit visa.

Seeing that the situation was bad, he made a move to pretend to reach into his

According to the rules of Wuji Dao, stowaways without an entry visa might be beaten to death in the street. He hadn't found Tang Bingyan yet, and he didn't want to lose his life here.

"Stop! Don't run!"

That man reacted immediately, pointing at Xu Tian's retreating back and shouting loudly, while simultaneously yelling to the other members around him: "Suspicious person spotted!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than more than a dozen members wearing the martial arts uniforms of the Wuji Martial Arts Association sprang out from every corner of the street, chasing toward Xu Tian with all their might. These people's speed was as agile as cheetahs, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

Running like this, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Xu Tian observed the surrounding terrain while running, and just as he turned into an alley ahead, he suddenly bumped head-on into a figure walking out of the alley.

Due to inertia, Xu Tian took a few steps back, and when he looked up, he saw a young girl of about twenty standing in front of him.

"Can't you watch where you're going?"

The girl who had been bumped into looked up with some displeasure, but the moment she saw Xu Tian, the anger in her eyes vanished instantly.

She had seen many handsome men on Wuji Dao, but compared to the man in front of her, those superficial men who prided themselves on their beauty all became background noise, losing their luster.

"I'm sorry, I startled you." Xu Tian looked at the young girl in front of him and took the initiative to speak.

This girl's clothing and accessories were expensive; it looked like she was the daughter of some family.

"It's okay, you didn't mean to." The girl smiled with curved eyes, her tone gentle and kind.

Xu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly; the rich young lady here didn't have a hint of a spoiled temper, which was different from what he had previously imagined.

Even the so-called socialites in Jiangcheng were arrogant, flying into a rage and taking their anger out on others at the slightest dissatisfaction. However, the rich young lady in front of him was gentle and reasonable; it seems that sometimes one really shouldn't jump to conclusions with prejudice.

However, what Xu Tian didn't know was that the reason he was treated gently by the young girl was simply because the other party was a standard fan of good looks; the moment she saw his face clearly, all her anger had already vanished into thin air.

"Regardless, I should still apologize to you."

Xu Tian subconsciously looked back and saw that those people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association had already caught up, so he stepped forward, preparing to run into the alley.

However, the young woman in front of him stepped sideways to block Xu Tian, and looked up at the Wuji Martial Arts Association members not far away.

They were a patrol group from the Wuji Martial Arts Association...

Basically, those who could be chased by a patrol group were stowaways without entry visas, so the man in front of her was most likely their target.

The girl looked Xu Tian up and down again, and a question blurted out: "Are you an outsider?"

"I am not." In this unfamiliar environment, Xu Tian naturally couldn't reveal his identity to anyone. "I have been on Wuji Dao since I was a child and have never left."

"Then take out your ID card and let me see." The young girl pursed her lips and smiled, clearly not believing Xu Tian's words.

Xu Tian didn't want to argue with her and just wanted to leave this place of trouble quickly. However, just as he was about to bypass the young girl in front of him, the other party suddenly grabbed his arm.

"There are people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association all around here; you won't be able to escape. Come with me quickly." Not giving Xu Tian a chance to refuse, the girl pulled him and ran toward the depths of the narrow alley.

She was very familiar with the environment around here, and soon she shook off the pursuers behind them, bringing Xu Tian to the back door of a villa.

The two entered through the back door and locked the iron gate immediately. Only after confirming once more that the people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association hadn't caught up did they let out a long sigh of relief.

"My name is Xiang Yunfei, what about you?" The girl smiled slightly at Xu Tian and extended her hand generously.

"My name is Xu Tian, thank you."

"Mr. Xu, you don't need to be polite; this is my home."

This was a very large villa. Xiang Yunfei led Xu Tian through a lush shrub path to the back garden of the villa.

"Our Xiang family moved to Wuji Dao starting from my great-grandfather, and in my generation, my parents only have me as a daughter. They don't ask me to expand the family business, only that the family can live in peace and safety, so we rarely get involved in the disputes between the various major families and dark forces."

The two chatted as they walked, and Xu Tian gained a general understanding of the Xiang family's background from Xiang Yunfei.

He could see that this young girl was simple-minded and had no hidden agenda, so his nerves, which had been tense the whole time, finally relaxed a little.

If Xiang Yunfei hadn't helped him just now, he might not have been able to escape from the members of the Wuji Martial Arts Association, so this girl could be considered his savior.

"Mr. Xu, if I may ask, do you have a purpose for coming to Wuji Dao? If it's just pure curiosity, I advise you to leave immediately."

"Because outsiders can barely move an inch on Wuji Dao; even with an official entry visa, they will be discriminated against, and stowaways like you who don't have a visa will be in mortal danger."

"I am definitely not alarmist. I have seen too many stowaways arrive on the island full of confidence, only to be discovered by people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association and die miserably under their blades. So, Mr. Xu, I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

Xu Tian looked up at the young girl who was sincerely persuading him to leave and asked: "What about you? You are also a person from Wuji Dao; don't you resent us outsiders?"

"I don't have those prejudices." Xiang Yunfei shook her head with a smile. "After all, our family's ancestors were also outsiders, it's just that they obtained formal permanent residency qualifications before taking root here."

"Of course, the audit standards at that time were not as strict as they are now, which is why my great-grandfather had the conditions to establish himself here. Therefore, our Xiang family does not have obvious prejudice against outsiders; on the contrary, if it's an oriental face, we even feel very close."

"So that's how it is." Xu Tian nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Xu, you don't have a visa, and it will be very dangerous to act alone. Why not stay at our Xiang family for a few days? If there's an opportunity, I can take you out for a stroll."

"Then many thanks to Miss Xiang." Xu Tian was unfamiliar with the place and had lost his wallet and bank cards, so it would indeed be very dangerous to go out rashly.

What's more, he didn't have a visa, so he probably couldn't even enter a decent inn or hotel. He couldn't keep sleeping on the streets, so he didn't decline Xiang Yunfei's kindness.

"That's great! Mr. Xu, if you have time, could you tell me and my family about the customs and traditions of Huaxia? My great-grandfather was from Huaxia, but starting from my father's generation, no one has left Wuji Dao, and everything we know about Huaxia is from what the elders have told us."

"Then have you never thought about going back to visit relatives?" Xu Tian asked.
