"Do you know that little girl over there?"

Although Xingyuan was very confident in his judgment, he decided to wait until he had solid evidence before taking any action.

Even though his status in the eyes of the high-ranking officials in the Magic Temple is like that of a prince, he still has to be sensible about some things and not go too far, so as to avoid being criticized by others in the future.

"I don't know him."

Seeing how aggressive Xingyuan and Cai'er were, no one would tell the truth, not to mention that this person already had something to hide.

"lie."

Cai'er, who was standing next to Xingyuan, changed her previous gentle attitude towards Sakuya. She looked coldly and crossed her arms over her chest and spoke in a cold voice.

In fact, she was more certain than Xingyuan that the man in front of her was one of the people who stole Sakuya's alchemical materials. However, this was Jialing City, the Magic Temple of Xingyuan and his people. If it was their Assassin's Temple or Exorcist City, she would have taken action long ago and would not have wasted time talking to anyone.

"You stole the alchemical materials I gave her five days ago?"

This was the first time Cai'er heard Xingyuan speak to someone in such a cold tone, so she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At the same time, she also understood that Xingyuan was really angry.

"My Lord Magician, how could I have the courage to do that..."

When the other party heard Xingyuan's tone, he almost lost his balance.

As a low-level staff member of the Magic Temple, he was naturally not qualified to know Xingyuan's status in the temple.

However, he recognized the badge on the Xingyuan magician's robe, which could only be worn by those with spiritual power cultivation level reaching the sixth level. He knew that the person in front of him was a powerful being who could make him disappear from the face of Jialing City with just a flick of his finger.

It was true that he had robbed the alchemical materials that Xingyuan had given to Sakuya, but he also left enough materials for the girl to complete the commission from the great magician. After all, no matter how brave they were, they would not dare to offend a high-level magician like Xingyuan.

But what they didn't expect was that Xingyuan would actually stand up for this young girl and cause trouble for them.

So before Xingyuan could continue asking, feeling the coldness emanating from the two people in front of him, the middle-aged man could no longer bear it and admitted to Xingyuan that he had indeed robbed the girl of her alchemical materials that day.

Not only that, he also rummaged through his storage ring in front of the two of them, wanting to return the alchemical materials that he had stolen that day.

"You're kidding me."

If this person in front of him confessed to him like a praying mantis, and then went to apologize to Sakuya in person, Xingyuan might really give him a lighter sentence because of his sincere attitude of apology.

But he thought that as long as he returned the alchemical materials he had stolen, he could settle the matter peacefully...

As soon as Xingyuan finished speaking, he flipped his hand and shot out a bullet-shaped obsidian, which directly broke his storage ring and the finger on it.

"what!"

Cai'er on the side was also a little stunned. She obviously didn't expect Xingyuan to be so decisive.

"Disable one of his hands so that he can no longer be a weaponsmith."

Xingyuan wanted to do it himself, but he was worried that he couldn't control the strength and accidentally killed someone, so he decided to hand it over to a professional. Cai'er, as an assassin, must be much more authoritative and professional than himself in this regard. However, what Xingyuan didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Cai'er was just slightly stunned, and then didn't ask him to what extent he wanted to do it.

She immediately flashed behind the man and kicked him in the calf. The man felt pain again and knelt down facing Xingyuan.

Xingyuan was stunned for a moment. He shouldn’t have asked Caier to do this just now, right?
Then, he saw Cai'er putting one hand on the other person's shoulder and holding up the other person's forearm with the other hand.

Even though there was a thick magician's robe between them, Xingyuan still heard the sound of bones breaking... or should I say, the sound of bones shattering, the moment Cai'er made her move.

"All right."

While Cai'er was saying this to Xingyuan, she also released the man's forearm, leaving him lying limply on the ground like a piece of pork.

Xingyuan: “…”

For some reason, looking at the man who had fainted on the ground, Xingyuan couldn't help but feel that it would be better to do it himself instead of asking Cai'er, the big Buddha, to come out.

Cai'er, you've really gone a little too far.

It wasn't that Xingyuan was worried about causing too much trouble, but it wouldn't be good to let Sakuya see this scene. It might make the girl think that the two of them were more ruthless than these guys...

Not to mention that if Sakuya is kicked out by Ornn one day, she might have to come back here. He and Cai'er were so cruel, this girl might have to set up a stall in another commercial street in the future...

That's it.

Xingyuan always likes to think about the worst possible outcome before doing anything. He will only do it if the cost is within his affordable range.

Since Cai'er has already been so cruel, he might as well go all out and cripple one hand of the remaining guys who have not been caught yet, so that everyone will know that he is protecting Sakuya, and before they have any ideas about taking advantage of her, they should think about how many hands they have to cripple.

...In total, four people were captured. After Xingyuan asked Cai'er to cripple one hand each of them, he hung all of them on the wall and waited for the patrol soldiers to rescue them early tomorrow morning.

Everyone has his own share of responsibility, and Xingyuan was not afraid of being held accountable by the Magic Temple, so he also left his name on the city wall.

If Shui Wuque, the acting Lord of the Magic Temple, wants to cause trouble for him, then go ahead.

As for Sakuya, who was a little frightened by the actions of the two, Xingyuan had no way to help her.

In addition to putting an extra storage ring containing a lot of the highest-level forging materials she could use at this stage, as well as a magic crystal card with 10,000 gold coins in it into the envelope for her to pass on to Ornn, he also sent her to the vicinity of the Forgers Association.

In fact, Sakuya was quite grateful to Xingyuan and Caier, a pair of brothers and sisters who she was not very familiar with, for standing up for her after knowing that she was being bullied.

But she was still young and couldn't bear to see such cruel means.

However, this also shows that she is a good child with a simple and kind heart. However, such a character is not suitable for people in the Holy Demon Continent, especially those who are weak and not strong enough.

Sakuya's story came to an end. Looking at Cai'er who looked remorseful, Xingyuan comforted her and told her to just learn how to interact with children in advance. (End of this chapter)
