Astral Apostle
/ Astral Apostle Chapter 327
This little thief kept begging for mercy. Now that he was in Zhou Jing's hands, how could he dare to use his head to receive the punch of such a fierce person?
Seeing that he was tactful, Zhou Jing did not threaten him anymore. He placed him back on the ground and lifted the man's mask.
Under the mask was a sallow face. He had an ordinary appearance and was stiff and expressionless, but his eyes were bright.
With a glance, Zhou Jing guessed that this person was most likely wearing a human skin mask. At this moment, he did not expose him and pressed on the little thief's shoulder to prevent him from escaping.
At this moment, the middle-aged man beside him realized that Zhou Jing was not in cahoots with the thief. He hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and cupping his hands politely.
“Gentlemen, please. I was anxious just now and misunderstood the two of you. I'm really sorry.”
“It's okay.”
Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen naturally did not blame him.
The middle-aged man looked at the thief and said in a deep voice, “Let me explain to the two of you. I was walking on the street, when this thief stole my bag while I was buying and selling things in front of the stall. My entire fortune was in it, so I came after him.”
“I see.” Fang Zhen nodded from the side and shouted at the little thief, “Hurry up and take out the thing.”
The bag that this little thief had thrown at Zhou Jing just now was naturally a smokescreen. It was not the real thing.
The little thief did not dare to disobey. He could only take out the things he had stolen, which were bulging money bags. The sound of silver rubbing against each other could be heard.
The middle-aged man took the money bag and weighed it in his hand. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and solemnly put it away. He glanced at the little thief unkindly before looking away and solemnly cupping his fists at Zhou Jing.
“Thank you for your help!”
“It's just a coincidence. There's no need to stand on ceremony.”
Zhou Jing casually waved his hand before asking with interest.
“The spear technique you used just now was very domineering. A good technique.”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked ashamed and said, “These small skills are nothing in front of you.”
He previously tried to use the staff as a spear to push Zhou Jing away. Although he had only used 60% of his strength, it was still broken by Zhou Jing's bare hands.
Ever since he had mastered this spear technique, he had never encountered a fierce person who could take him head-on with his bare hands. He could not help but be shocked. He naturally developed a deep impression of Zhou Jing from this face-off.
Although he felt that he might not lose to Zhou Jing in a fight, he was truly convinced in terms of strength.
At this moment, the surrounding onlookers were pointing at them. The ruffian in the river was also splashing ashore, staring at them.
Seeing this, Fang Zhen suggested, “There are too many people here. Why don't we talk somewhere else?”
The group nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged man had both the intention to befriend Zhou Jing and to express his gratitude. Naturally, he would not leave just like that.

As for Zhou Jing, he was curious about these two people with abilities. Since he had met them, it was not a bad idea to get to know them. They might be able to help him in the future.
It was not easy to fight alone. It was best to have connections and helpers. After all, it would be a waste not to use a talent like the [Overbearing Aura].
The group followed Fang Zhen to a restaurant and ordered a table of good food and wine. The dishes were almost all fish based.
Under Fang Zhen's lead, they still came to eat fish in advance. Looking at Fang Zhen's happy expression, Zhou Jing did not know how much this person liked to eat fish.
After drinking a bowl of wine, the middle-aged man introduced himself.
“I'm Gao Yun, hailing from the North Mountains. I was originally the Second-in-Command of the Zhenwei Bodyguard Agency in the Qingyang Prefecture. Later on, I felt that my martial arts skills were insufficient, so I went home and cultivated by myself in seclusion. I haven't traveled with an escort party for a few years. This time, I'm here to visit a friend…”
After hearing what he said, Zhou Jing and the other man realized that this person was not from the Green Forest, but an innocent person who had never committed any crimes. Strictly speaking, he was only earning a living in the martial world.
However, the other party was once a Head of a bodyguard escort team and had traveled all over the world. It was inevitable that he would come into contact with the Green Forest. He was no stranger to the outlaws in the Green Forest, so he could be considered half a “insider”.
Zhou Jing then looked at the thief who was carefully accompanying him. He raised his chin before saying, “What about you? Do you want to take off your mask yourself, or do you want me to do it?”
The thief was helpless. He could only remove his human skin mask and reveal his true appearance. It was a delicate and pretty child that the three of them did not recognize.
The thief laughed bitterly before speaking,
“It's my fault for being blind and offending a strong warrior. However, I've returned the thing and apologized. Can you let me go?”
“Why? Are you very busy? You don't even have time to sit down and drink?” Zhou Jing teased.
“This… How would I dare to disobey Grandpa's invitation?”
The little thief looked helpless.
Zhou Jing touched his chin and asked, “Your qinggong is not bad either. I didn't expect you to be so young. What's your name?”
The little thief revealed a troubled expression and hurriedly cupped his hands,
“It's not that I don't want to introduce myself, but there's something else involved. If I say my name and I'm recognized, I'm afraid I'll ruin someone else's plans. Grandpa, I think you're an indomitable man. If it was any other time, I would definitely be willing to get to know you, but it's different now. I hope you can understand.”
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, “In that case, you're very famous at such a young age?”
“I wouldn't dare to claim that…” The little thief smiled apologetically.
Zhou Jing did not interrogate him. Instead, he said meaningfully, “Alright, I won't ask you now. I'll find out later.”
Hearing this, the little thief's heart skipped a beat.
n the way here, he did not dare to escape because he was afraid of Zhou Jing's martial strength. However, he secretly scattered something from his sleeve to make a mark along the way so his companions could rescue him.
