Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-347-30041322

Lin Feilu was very excited, “Then let me ask you, what sort of large incidents have happened in the area recently?”

The little beggar glanced at her and placed the broken silver into his dirty arms before saying, “The little one has always been begging for food on this road, so I don’t know very well.”

Lin Feilu was not discouraged, “Then where is your superior? Some kind of Elder or something.”

The little beggar scratched his head, obviously not understanding what she was asking. But he was afraid that if he was not able to answer, the silver would be taken back, so he had to say, “Go ahead for another twenty miles. There is a Temple of the City God, and there are many beggars in it. The seniors there are also higher in position, so you can ask them there!”

Lin Feilu nodded solemnly before she got back on the carriage and instructed Xiaohei to go to the Temple of the City God.

While in the carriage, she briefly told Lin Ting of the heroic deeds of the Beggar Gang, focusing on the legendary life of Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong(4).

Lin Ting was stunned for a moment before he finally said with yearning, “I didn’t expect the Beggar Gang to be such a chivalrous gang. If you can see this generation’s leader, you must have a drink with him.”

Lin Feilu said triumphantly, “Huang Rong is Hong Qigong’s disciple, but he was also the Master for a while.”

Lin Ting couldn’t help but laugh as he bowed to her, “Well, greetings to Gang Master Huang.”

Lin Feilu’s martial arts obsession was greatly satisfied as she was so happy that her little feet began to kick about.

The carriage quickly traveled to the Temple of the City God. As the little beggar said, there were indeed many beggars here. The temple had long been in ruins, and it had obviously become a gathering place for beggars to shelter themselves from the wind and rain.

As soon as Lin Feilu went over, the beggars around them immediately gathered around, some handing out their empty bowls and others reaching out. All of them were dirty and covered in filth, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Xiaobai and Xiaohei blocked their way in front of her. Looking like they were not to be provoked, the beggars backed away in fear, and Lin Feilu asked aloud, “Who is the boss here?”

Everyone looked at one another before the last beggar with thick and dark skin walked forward. His body was sturdy and he looked the part as well, so he usually had the final say in their matters. He bowed before smiling and asked, “It’s this humble one, what is your noble order to me?”

Lin Feilu asked, “What’s your status in the Beggar Gang?”

The strong beggar let out a ‘hiss’ and said, “Probably the Gang Master?”

Lin Feilu, “???”

You?!

Are you that capable?!

Seeing that the Imperial Princess was slightly angry, Xiaobai pointed at the strong beggar with his sabre sword and said coldly, “No roundabout cunningness; you better give me a proper answer!”

The strong beggar kept begging for mercy, “Noble hero, please spare this humble one’s life. I just want to make sure that I have food to eat! Or… if this Young Miss agrees, I will be willing to give up the position of the leader of the Beggar Gang. As long as I get two steamed buns daily- no, just one steamed bun is enough!”

Lin Feilu, “…”
