C32 The Spoils of War
Lau Yufeng rolled down the stairs. The more he struggled to stand up, the faster he rolled. The stairs of the Artifact Refining Pavilion were filled with blood from Lau Yufeng's mouth. After rolling down the stairs, Lau Yufeng didn't even have the time to use his star power to protect himself. He was already on the verge of dying.
Lau Yufeng's rolling down the stairs immediately attracted the attention of many people. They surrounded him and started to discuss among themselves.
After all, the Ye family and the Lau family were sworn enemies. This was something that everyone knew. At this moment, Lau Yufeng was lying on the ground covered in blood, and Ye Mingyang was standing beside him. Almost everyone thought that Ye Mingyang had beaten Lau Yufeng to such a state.
"Move aside! Move aside!" The city lord's guards just happened to patrol the area and discovered the situation in a timely manner. Looking at Lau Yufeng who could not get up from the ground, and then looking at the leisurely looking Ye Mingyang, only a ghost would believe that Lau Yufeng really did roll down the stairs.
"Young Master Ye? Although you are the son of a noble, if you cause trouble in the city, it will still be the same as the crime of a prince breaking the law!" The leader of the group was Lu Yuansi. Lu Yuansi had been holding a grudge the last time he had been slapped. Now, he only needed to arrest Ye Mingyang and interrogate him to relieve his anger.
Seeing Lu Yuansi appear, Ye Mingyang was a little annoyed. If Lu Yuansi intervened, this matter would not be easy to resolve.
"I can prove that Lau Yufeng really rolled down here by himself." The moment Zheng Youcai appeared, the discussion immediately stopped. Zheng Youcai was the boss of Artifact Refining Pavilion, and he was backed by the Star Palace. His words were the absolute authority!
"Aiya, Brother Liu, how are you? You are naturally the one who is useful! If you roll down the stairs and die, then there will be a piece of gold missing in this world!" Everyone could see that Ye Mingyang was crying at the side.
"Hmph, Zheng Youcai, do you know the crime of fraudulent evidence? If you change your words now, I can pretend I didn't hear you!" Lu Yuansi knew that Zheng Youcai could not fake evidence, but he was actually reminding Lau Yufeng. As long as he refused to let go, he would have a reason to capture Ye Mingyang!
However, the dying Lau Yufeng did not even have the strength to defend himself, even though Lau Yufeng really wanted to rely on the City Lord's strength. He wanted to make Ye Mingyang suffer, but if that was the case, then what was the difference between him, Lau Yufeng, and the little guy? In this way, Lau Yufeng would look down on him.
"Brother Liu, to be honest, gold will always shine. A momentary lapse is not scary. What's scary is a lifetime of mistakes. Brother Liu, stand up and tell them that you fell down yourself. " Ye Mingyang patiently guided them from the side.
"Young Master Liu, tell them yourself, what exactly happened? Don't be afraid, I, Lu Yuansi, will make the decision for you!" Lu Yuansi looked at Lau Yufeng and said.
Lau Yufeng's condition seemed to be very serious. How could a Star Fusion Stage warrior be covered in blood and on the verge of death when he rolled down the stairs on the fourth floor?
"Brother Liu, if you are gold, then tell me the truth. If you are not gold, then I have nothing to say." Ye Mingyang said slowly. If Lau Yufeng agreed to Lu Yuansi's words, although he was not afraid, it would be a little troublesome.
Although Lau Yufeng was a little annoyed, he was not a bad person. At least, he was a real man and not a villain who would say whatever he wanted.
"I did fall down myself." Lau Yufeng said weakly.
"Brother Liu, I admit you are gold. You are a real man." When Ye Mingyang heard Lau Yufeng speak the truth, he was a little impressed by Lau Yufeng. Although Lau Yufeng didn't have a big bearing, he wasn't a bad person either.
However, Ye Mingyang felt a little embarrassed when he thought about his actions after that.
Ai, Ye family and Lau family are arch-enemies. Lau Yufeng, I can only let you down.
"Alright, I know you all are puzzled. Actually, Brother Liu was teaching me a lesson just now. Gold will always shine, even though the Lau family is now a country bumpkin. Sooner or later, I will have to rely on Brother Liu's hard work to change all of this. Brother Liu is too excited, so he immediately rolled down from upstairs. "
Country bumpkin? Lau Yufeng was speechless. He had indeed said it before, but it was only a matter of time before the Lau family became a noble, and there were only nobles!
Although he had said the same thing, the meaning was completely different.
"You are courting death!"
The originally dying Lau Yufeng stood up and threw a punch at Ye Mingyang.
"You can insult me, but you can't insult my family!"
One should know that Ye Mingyang had killed Lau Tianming, who was at the Star Fusion Stage Starlight, while Lau Yufeng was only at the Embrace stage. Although he used his full strength, he was still easily blocked by Ye Mingyang.
When the light returned, Ye Mingyang looked at Lau Yufeng in front of him and felt a little apologetic. This was a matter of the family, but if he allowed Lau Yufeng to grow, it would certainly cause some trouble.
"Lu Yuansi, Master Lu, if we are attacked in the city, what will happen to the attackers? "Ye Mingyang looked at Lu Yuansi provocatively.
"The attackers can defend themselves." Lu Yuansi could only speak honestly.
Lau Yufeng immediately became alert and instantly retreated. He had indeed attacked Ye Mingyang just now, and with Ye Mingyang's combat strength, he was afraid that Ye Mingyang could really kill him in an instant!
Unfortunately, Lau Yufeng was too slow. Ye Mingyang's target was not Lau Yufeng, but the storage bag on his waist. Seeing his storage bag being snatched away, Lau Yufeng immediately fainted.
"This is my spoils of war." Ye Mingyang did not choose to attack, because he had just passed by Lau Yufeng and admitted that although he was not afraid, it would be a little troublesome.
"Hmph, there is no such thing as war in the city! There is no such thing as spoils of war! Put Lau Yufeng's things back!" Lu Yuansi stopped Lau Yufeng, although he hadn't expected this to happen. Ye Mingyang, who could not take advantage of Ye Mingyang, looked at the storage bag in Ye Mingyang's hand. Lu Yuansi knew what he was going to do.
"Why? Isn't self-defense a battle? Your guards' efficiency is so low, they haven't even made a move even after the battle is over. When you make a move, I would have been beaten to death long ago. Isn't this still considered a battle?" Ye Mingyang's words were like a series of cannonballs. Lu Yuansi didn't know which one to answer first.
You? Killed to death?
No one knew how many people would laugh at these words. With Ye Mingyang's heaven defying combat strength, it would be great if he didn't kill Ye Mingyang.
But to say that it was inefficient... The guards had arrived. To say that the efficiency was high... The battle had indeed ended. The guards had yet to rush over to stop them, and they hadn't even tried to persuade them.
"Forget it, forget it. I know your guards have to follow the rules. Alright, you can testify. I didn't take anything." Ye Mingyang threw the storage bag to Lau Yufeng and left.
However, the bag of the storage bag was already empty. The things had all arrived at Ye Mingyang's storage bag.
When Lu Yuansi finally reacted, Ye Mingyang had already left.
