When the beggar heard Fang Yue, he was stunned for a moment. A flash of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "S... sir, I'm just hungry. I was just hoping for a bite to eat, nothing more."
Fang Yue smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He gave the beggar a long look, then said, "If that's the case, then come with me."
He turned and headed into a secluded alley. The beggar hesitated for a moment but ultimately followed him.
As he walked, Fang Yue observed his surroundings while secretly circulating his Inner Strength in case of trouble.
The two walked deep into the alley, one behind the other. Fang Yue suddenly stopped, turned to face the beggar, and asked coldly, "Alright, talk. Who are you really?"
Just then, a cold glint of light flashed from the side, aiming straight for Fang Yue's back.
