Chapter 80 Girl

After Haikar left, Lu Renkui received the salary from Teacher William.

After inquiring about the exact location of the nearby market, Lu Renkui, along with her two younger sisters and the cat, bid farewell to Teacher William and Evelyn.

Upon arriving at the market, Lu Renkui checked the money in the bag again.

Once he was sure the money in the bag was enough to buy a jar of syrup and some other ingredients, Lu Renkui held his two younger sisters' hands tightly and walked into the market.

Upon entering the market, Lu Renkui bought ingredients and a jar of syrup according to the physical needs of the original owner and her sisters.

Seeing that she had a little money left, Lu Renkui decided to keep half and give the other half to her two younger sisters so that they could buy some of the things they liked.

The two little girls happily tugged at "Borist's" clothes, skipping and hopping along.

The three people and the cat were walking down the street when they passed through a small alley and Lu Renkui heard a commotion.

After hearing what was being said, Lu Renkui immediately covered Olivia and Carola's ears.

"Who's there?" Lu Renkui heard the noise in the alley getting louder and louder, and boldly shouted into it.

The alley quieted down for a moment, then a fierce string of curses erupted from within, aimed directly at Lu Renkui: "***None of your business! Get the hell out of here! You ruined our plans, I'll make you regret it!"

Lu Renkui frowned, a sense of unease rising within her. She led her two younger sisters to a safe place that she could find quickly, cast a protective spell on them, and then walked into the alley with her wand in hand.

Although it was daytime, the sun couldn't reach the alley. There was a group of people inside, seemingly surrounding something on the ground, punching and kicking it.

Lu Renkui gathered her magic power at the tip of her wand and carefully walked towards the group of people.

"What are you doing?" Lu Renkui asked, holding up his magic wand as he walked behind the group.

Hearing voices behind them, the group turned their heads. They were all boys and girls around fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in tattered clothes and with messy hair.

The group turned around and saw only a boy about their age standing there, holding a wooden stick in his hand. They asked him what he was doing.

The tallest-looking guy among them spat on the ground, then flashed his yellowed teeth, which looked like they hadn't been brushed in a long time, and shouted menacingly, "***Mind your own business! *** was asking you this at the alley entrance, wasn't she? If you ***meddle again, I *** will beat you up too!!"

"So what are you doing?" Lu Renkui asked again, gathering some more magic power from the surrounding area onto the wand.

Seeing that the boy showed no sign of leaving, the big yellow-toothed man picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the boy, cursing as he did so: "***Aren't you leaving yet? If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death too."

The stone wasn't thrown very accurately; it landed about 30 centimeters away from where Lu Renkui was standing.

A moment of silence fell over the room, until Lu Renkui finally spoke first: "What are you doing?"

"You shut the hell up!" The leader, with his big yellow teeth, felt he had lost face and was furious.

Seeing how angry the tallest guy with yellow teeth was, the henchmen around him tacitly moved a few steps to the side and then tried to surround the boy who had suddenly appeared and was holding a wooden stick.

Lu Renkui mentally assessed the situation and felt that he still had the upper hand, so he stood there quietly, watching what these people were up to.

Seeing that the boy holding the wooden stick did not react to their actions, the henchmen crouched down slightly and then rushed towards the strange boy holding the wooden stick.

A circle of white light surrounded the boy holding the wooden stick, blocking all his henchmen on the outside.

The white light expanded outwards, throwing all the henchmen away; some crashed into the alley wall, while others hit the ground.

"What are you doing?" Lu Renkui asked again, holding up his wand with a stern face.

At this moment, the tallest man in the group, Big Yellow Teeth, was terrified. He knelt down trembling, repeatedly saying, "Yes, it was my fault for being blind and offending the magician. Please... please spare my life."

Seeing that the group of people had no intention of answering his questions, Lu Renkui decided to take a look for himself and didn't press them any further. He waved for them to leave.

The group of boys and girls scattered like birds and beasts. Lu Renkui approached and then saw clearly what the thing they had been fighting on the ground was.

It was a girl who looked to be about the same age as the group of boys and girls. Her clothes were more tattered than those of the boys and girls, and she was much thinner; her red hair was dry and messy; she was covered in dust, especially her face, which was smeared with mud, making it difficult to see what she originally looked like.

Lu Renkui noticed that the girl's lower body clothing was almost completely torn.

Remembering that he was now in a male body, Lu Renkui closed his eyes, took off his coat, and draped it over the girl. Then he opened his eyes and gently nudged the girl.
