Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System

It can be said that he didn't even think it through; he just went ahead with what he was doing.

Feeling the presence of someone suddenly approaching, Lin Yi couldn't help but slightly turn his head, and immediately he saw Leng Yu's cold, pretty face.

At this moment, she was looking at the fierce group in front of her.

Her delicate fists were clenched tightly, and it was clear that if things went south, she would be the first to rush up and give that gang a beating.

Of course, seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.

He could definitely handle these guys himself, and there was no need for her to get involved.

However, he could tell that this was an instinctive reaction from her. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

It was as if she completely forgot her immortal status.

But when he saw her movement, although he felt helpless, he also felt a warmth in his heart.

After all, her instinctive reaction was to stand up for him, which spoke volumes about how much she cared about him.

Now, he was all alone here, without any family around.

Lately, she was in the same situation, having lost all her family and left alone in this world.

This made Lin Yi regard her as family, treating her like his own sister.

Seeing his sister step up to protect him now, how could he not feel comforted?

But after all, the opponents were a group of men wielding weapons.

Even though he knew his sister was skilled, Lin Yi wouldn't let her take any risks.

If his sister got hurt, it would definitely leave a knot in his heart.

Precisely because of this, when he saw her stand by his side, Lin Yi immediately pulled her to his side, and not only that, but he also gently knocked on her little head with mild irritation:

"You silly girl, what's the matter with you? I'm right here; why are you rushing forward? What if you get hurt?

Alright, it's not just this ragtag bunch; even if it were 10,000 riders from Yan Country, would I be bothered? Just stay safely behind and watch."

After saying that, fearing he might have hurt her head, he gently rubbed her head.

He also gently pinched her pretty cheek.

And this action suddenly startled Leng Yu back to her senses, her pretty face turning bright red for a moment.

She couldn't even bring herself to look Lin Yi in the eyes.

Her heart was pounding like a little deer running wildly.

Although Lin Yi always treated her as a sister, her feelings weren't limited to seeing him as a brother.

With Lin Yi's intimate gesture just now, how could she not feel shy?

Meanwhile, those household servants rushing over saw this and became unspeakably angry, seeing him flirting with that young lady.

Each gripped their curved sabers even tighter, secretly swearing to make him suffer later.

Also, that young lady was extremely beautiful; once caught, they intended to take advantage somehow.

Not only the servants felt this way; even the middle-aged man resembling a butler standing beside Young Master Chen glanced over with a greedy look in his eyes.

However, just that hint of greed was caught by Lin Yi's eyes.

And it was precisely this hint of greed that sealed his fate for the day.

The two groups weren't far apart, only a dozen steps away, and after such a run-in, those household servants were only five or six steps away from Lin Yi.

At such a distance, with just one charge, they were confident they could bring Lin Yi down in an instant.

"Hey kid, are you going to surrender or do we need to use some techniques on you?

If you surrender right now, I promise we'll only break your legs and not make things harder for you. But if we have to use force, well, I can't guarantee what will happen."

Amid such tension, one of the leading figures among those servants was the first to speak, addressing Lin Yi sinisterly.

As he spoke, he even raised the saber he held, putting it to his lips, licking it lightly with his tongue, clearly a threatening gesture.

The household servants around him, seeing this, also flashed ominous smiles, already looking at Lin Yi with the gaze one has when they see a corpse.

Of course, in their hearts, they believed this guy couldn't live until tomorrow. Once captured, they would make sure he suffered greatly.

After all, it's one thing to turn the Young Master into his current state; even if it wasn't solely his doing, it wouldn't go unpunished.

The master wouldn't bother with reasoning or excuses.

Hearing this, Lin Yi barely managed to suppress a laugh, looking at these overly arrogant blokes in their coarse clothes. He pointed a finger at them and said indifferently:

"Come on, don't waste time. All of you come at me together, so I won't hear accusations of bullying later."

The audacity in his words was shocking. Not only were the onlookers surprised but even the approaching household servants were astonished.

They couldn't help but wonder if this guy had lost his mind.

Was this guy an idiot?

No sane person would say such things, right?

Is he looking to get himself killed?

If he knelt down and begged for mercy now, the servants might have softened and shown some compassion, merely breaking his limbs.

But now, after such an insult, unless they gave him a thorough beating, it wouldn't ease the rage inside them.

Never mind if he caused the Young Master's downfall, they were never humiliated like this before.

Since they followed the Young Master, they always strutted arrogantly on the streets; even other nobles feared them.
