Along the way, the sunlight dappled through the leaves of the trees.

The chirps of insects and birds could be heard from time to time. In addition, the gurgling of a stream in the distance reminded Jian Yiling and the others that they were not far away from the waterfall.
After traveling a winding path, the waterfall mentioned by Jin Jin appeared in front of everyone.

At the bottom of the waterfall, a mist of water could be seen.

The place was secluded and picturesque.

Not far away from the foot of the waterfall, there was a small hut.

The hut was made out of yellow mud and straw. It seemed as though it was constructed from materials in the last century as nowadays, even huts used steel and cement as a foundation.

That was probably where the strange old man lived.

Jian Yiling noticed a garden next to the hut. There were a lot of plants in the garden.

However, the things planted were not ordinary fruits or vegetables. Rather, it was medicinal herbs.

As they passed by the front of the yard, Jian Yiling noticed that the medicinal herbs were not growing well.

Whilst Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were enjoying the scenery below the waterfall, the strange old man came out of the hut.

‘The strange old man had white hair and seemed roughly sixty or seventy years old.

He had a thin build and a slightly hunched back.

“What are you guys doing? This is my land? Shoo shoo. Go away!” the old man scolded as soon as he came out.

‘When Yu Xi heard this, he felt rather cranky. However, he patiently said to the old man: “Sir, we’re just here to appreciate the waterfall. We will be quiet. We will leave soon.”

“No, you have to leave right now! And go as far away as you can! You guys are being eyesores here!” the old man replied. This was not up for discussion.

“You shouldn’t say such a thing. Perhaps the hut next to the waterfall belongs to you. However, the waterfall isn’t yours. So why can’t we appreciate it? We weren’t making noise were we?”

“So what? I don’t want you to be here! And if I say this waterfall belongs to me, then it is mine! And I’m telling you right now to get out of here. If not, I will go get a broom to drive you guys out!”
As he said this, the old man picked up a home-made broom and began to aggressively drive them away.

Yu Xi: “Sir, there’s so many of us here. Why would we be afraid of you? However, we don’t want to fight you. There’s no need to bully elderly people.”

A look of disdain appeared on the old man’s face when he heard this: “You guys have a lot of people? The men you have behind you are just pretty to look at! Their muscles aren’t even amazing. In fact, they’re probably weaker than the broom I have in my hand!”
Yu Xi was shocked at how shameless this man was. Just pretty to look at?

Everyone behind him had been carefully trained by the Second Master of the Zhai family!

Their arms were thicker than the thighs of this strange old man!

Yu Xi helplessly said: “Ahh… Why don’t you listen to me? I don’t want you to hurt yourself!”

However, the old man began to shoo them with a broom: “Get lost! All of you, get lost!”

Then, the old man began to hit the bodyguards with his broom.

At first, the bodyguards tried to dodge the hits. However, the old man managed to hit them precisely on the calf with each blow.

And thus, the bodyguards had no choice but to fight with the old man.

However, even though the bodyguards worked together, the old man was as nimble as a monkey. He kept dodging left and right and the bodyguards could not even touch him.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling quietly watched the scene in front of them..
