The boy slowly walked to the side, towards the bandits' horses, randomly picked a strong horse, then leaped onto it and slowly walked towards Ye Lang.
At the same time, Xiao Rui also led a horse to Ye Lang's side.
"Let's go!"
Ye Lang mounted his horse and followed Xiao Rui, riding the same horse. However, it was Ye Lang, not Xiao Rui, who controlled the horse!
This struck the boy as odd. Even if the two of them were riding the same horse, logically Ye Lang should be in control of it, so why was a girl in charge?
The boy didn't know that Ye Lang couldn't ride a horse at all!
Why is it that Xiao Rui can do it? Well, it's like a modern game. You can be a racing pro in a game, but you might not actually be able to drive a car!
Xiao Rui's current situation is like that of a game character controlled by Ye Lang. She can ride a horse, but Ye Lang himself cannot!
Just like Xiao Rui can make some girl's movements and expressions so lifelike that they are mesmerizing, Ye Lang himself cannot do it!
The young expert looked at Ye Lang and said, "Are you just going to leave like this? Don't you think you've forgotten something?" Although it was a bit strange that Ye Lang rode together, there was another important matter at this moment.
That's the 100,000 gold coins that Ye Lang poured out earlier, now gleaming brightly!
"What is it?" Ye Lang asked, a look of confusion on his face. He didn't think he had forgotten anything.
"... Gold coins..." the boy frowned as he reminded him, his reminder seeming somewhat powerless. Indeed, anyone in this situation would feel powerless.
"Gold coins?" Ye Lang turned to look at the pile of gold coins, a look of sudden realization on his face. "Oh, you mean these? I almost forgot!"
After speaking, Xiao Rui turned her horse around and headed towards the pile of gold coins...
Tap tap tap...
The sound of horses' hooves echoed among the mountains, striking the hearts of the bandits. They realized that these glittering gold coins were about to disappear!
These were originally my own gold coins, and now I'm about to lose them. Ugh, why was I so greedy?!
Just when everyone thought Ye Lang take the gold coin back, he did something that shocked everyone: not only did he not take it back, he also poured out a little bit of the gold coin...
"Oh, I forgot, we haven't paid our toll yet. Since my Xiao Rui defeated you, we don't need to pay the original amount. Here's one hundred gold coins for you!"
"..."
Did we see or hear wrong? Why does this feel so unrealistic?
Everyone staring at Ye Lang was stunned, their minds unable to process what was happening!
Ye Lang quickly returned, leaving behind the 100,010 gold coins...
"What do you mean by this? Weren't you going to get back those 100,000 gold coins?" The young expert stared blankly at Ye Lang and asked tentatively.
Ye Lang waved his hand and said, "Why would I take those back? Once it's given, it's given. I never take back money I've spent!"
That's right, Ye Lang never gets the money he spends back, even if he's been scammed!
However, he will punish those who lied to him in a different way. As long as he knows that these people are lying to him, well, if he knows, he will definitely not let them go.
"You're going back just to spend an extra hundred gold coins to pay this unnecessary toll?" the young expert continued to ask.
"Hmm! I didn't want to give this originally, but since you want me to, I'll just give you a little bit," Ye Lang replied.
"I need you to give it to me? When did I ask you to give it to me?" The young expert was a little confused.
"Just now, didn't you say I forgot to pay the travel expenses?"
"..." Cold sweat appeared on the young expert's face. "I just asked you to take those 100,000 gold coins. You have already defeated those bandits. Why are you giving them to them for nothing?"
"I told you, I won't get my money back!" Ye Lang waved his hand. "Get me out of here quickly, I don't have time to waste, I'm very busy!!"
"..."
Not taking it back?! That's 100,000 gold coins! Who do you think you are, not even caring about 100,000 gold coins? Even if you're going to be wasteful, don't go this far!!
Although the young master wanted to say something to Ye Lang, it was ultimately Ye Lang's business, and he couldn't say anything, so he left with Ye Lang!
This shows that the boy is not an ordinary person. An ordinary person would not be so carefree in this situation; they would definitely go back and take as much of the 100,000 gold coins as possible, instead of just leaving.
Ten thousand gold coins are actually a tool to test a person's character!
Just as he was leaving, Ye Lang suddenly turned back and asked, "What kind of thief group are you?"
"The Apex Bandits!"
While some people were considering whether to answer or not, others had already revealed their answers, simply because at that moment, many people were so engrossed in their thoughts that they answered subconsciously!
Why are they so obsessed? It's all because of Ye Lang's actions—he actually gave up 100,000 gold coins, allowing them to obtain this enormous fortune they thought they had lost!
"Crazy? That's a very unique name! I'll remember it!" Ye Lang smiled and continued forward.
So what if you remember? Even if you are the emperor of the Aila Empire, you have no way to take revenge. If you miss today, these bandits will disappear somewhere.
At this moment, everyone briefly thought that Ye Lang would send someone to retaliate later, but they quickly gave up on this idea. If he wanted to retaliate, he could do it now, so why bother with all this trouble!
So what was his motive?
After walking quite a distance, the boy began to ask these questions, but he wanted to start with an opening statement—
"My name is Edward. Young Master for saving my life, sir. May I ask Young Master honorable name?"
"You're too kind! My surname is Ye, and my given name is Lang!" Ye Lang cupped his hands in greeting and replied somewhat arrogantly.
"... So it's Young Master Ye Lang, I've heard so much about you!" Edward was a little embarrassed. This Young Master Ye Lang was really impressive, and his way of speaking was too unique.
"You've heard of me?" Ye Lang asked curiously. "Am I that famous?"
"..., I've never heard of this..." Edward said, sweating.
"Never heard of you? You've heard so much about me? Can't you be a little more honest?" Ye Lang seemed to be lecturing Edward.
"I... that's just a polite way of saying it, everyone says it like that..." Edward said, sweating profusely. Didn't this Young Master Ye Lang understand these things?
"Really? I've heard so much about you!" Ye Lang replied.
"..."
