"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Young Master Ye Lang, why did you ask their names? Do you want to take revenge on them?" Edward changed the subject, afraid that if he continued on this topic, he would go crazy.
"No, why would I seek revenge against them? They don't have the right! And I don't have the time!" Ye Lang waved his hand and replied. How could these minor characters possibly catch his eye?
"Then why do you still ask their names?" Edward asked again.
Ye Lang smiled and replied calmly, "If we encounter another group of bandits later, I'll tell them I gave the Mad Bandits 100,000 gold coins as a toll, and they'll let us pass so we can ask Mad Thieves for it back!"
"..." Edward looked at Ye Lang, and he seemed to understand something.
One hundred thousand gold coins—this bombshell will detonate in this bandit-infested mountain region, unleashing a storm—a gold-grabbing storm!
This storm could sweep many people away and bring about unexpected changes to this mountainous region. As for the final outcome, there are only four words to describe it:
Let's wait and see!
"That way, we can get through this place faster and reach the Holy City sooner!" Ye Lang continued.
"The Holy City? What are you going to the Holy City for?"
"I'm going to participate in next year's, no, I think it's this year's Ranking Tournament!" Ye Lang suddenly realized that a new year had already begun, so he couldn't say it was next year anymore.
"You're participating too? What college are you from?" Edward asked in surprise.
"I am... Why should I tell you? What are you trying to do with me?" Ye Lang suddenly became wary. He had been warned not to reveal too much information about himself.
Ye Lang? There are at least 8,000, if not 10,000, of this common name across the entire continent. Who knows which Ye Lang is?
However, even if he concealed these things, people would still know his identity, because there is only one Ye Lang who can casually produce 100,000 gold coins!
"Well... I'm also participating in the Ranking Tournament, which is why I'm asking you," Edward said, embarrassed.
Ye Lang glanced at Edward, then said in a disdainful tone, "So you were testing the enemy's situation, how despicable!!"
"..."
Along the way, Ye Lang and his companions encountered many bandits and bandit groups, but they were quickly dealt with. At the same time, news of the Apex Bandits obtaining 100,000 gold coins also spread.
Originally, other bandit groups had no reason to take the 100,000 gold coins, but Ye Lang said that it was a toll for all the bandits in this mountain area, and everyone should get a share!
Furthermore, Ye Lang also said that he defeated the Peak Bandit Gang, and the gold coins were given to him voluntarily!
Many people have also proven that Ye Lang and his two companions do indeed have the ability. Edward is a master, while Xiao Rui is a unique master!
Now the bandits are in for a treat!
The 100,000 gold coins that everyone gets is an absolute bombshell, making people forget everything else and only see the power of this bomb!
Ye Lang, who caused all of this, was someone he never cared about from beginning to end, and he didn't even know what happened in the end!
One afternoon two weeks later, in Alexandria City in the Aila Empire, a carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the busiest inn and restaurant.
Although the carriage was not very luxurious or eye-catching, no one doubted that the people inside were ordinary people, because anyone who dared to stop here was no ordinary person!
The unassuming carriage itself sparked everyone's curiosity; after all, people are used to seeing luxurious carriages, so seeing something like this felt novel.
At that moment, the people nearby habitually looked towards the carriage, wondering what kind of person would appear.
"Damn, who is this person? Why is he so dark and blurry!"
Wow, so dark and healthy!
"..."
The first person to appear in the carriage was a dark-skinned boy—no, not just dark-skinned, but as black as coal!
If this boy were to appear in the dark, no one would likely be able to see him!
The dark-skinned boy was Edward, and Ye Lang and Xiao Rui were also in the carriage. After leaving the mountains, Ye Lang quickly found a carriage to travel by, as he didn't like riding horses because they were too tiring.
"Little Black, is this the biggest and most luxurious hotel in the city Precious Moon Tower?" Ye Lang asked Edward as he got off the carriage and looked at the luxurious hotel.
Knowing Ye Lang's personality, he would stay in the most luxurious and expensive places when he came to a city. Edward knew this, so he readily arranged for him to come here.
Edward seemed very familiar with Alexandria City. He had to ask for directions in previous towns, but here he came directly without asking.
"Don't call me Little Black, my name is Edward!!" Edward said irritably. Ye Lang had recently become a little addicted to Edward Little Black because of his dark appearance.
Little Black, are you calling the puppy?
Edward asked this question, and Ye Lang replied, "I called you, not the puppy."
So Edward just endured it, since he couldn't stop it anyway. However, on one occasion, when Ye Lang encountered a Little Black, he blurted out, "Little Black!"
Ye Lang nodded and replied, "Oh, I understand! Little Black! Let's go in, Little Black!"
"..." Edward wanted to go up and beat Ye Lang up, give him a good beating, but after looking at Xiao Rui, he gave up.
It wasn't that he felt he couldn't beat Xiao Rui, but he understood that fighting Xiao Rui would definitely not end well, and it would be difficult to determine a winner in the short term.
The Precious Moon Tower truly lives up to its reputation as the most luxurious and expensive hotel and restaurant in Alexandria City. Its facilities exude nobility in every aspect. The magnificent hall, though somewhat gaudy, is still loved by many.
Many people say that money is a vulgar thing, and that no one likes it to death. So, being vulgar doesn't mean that no one likes it. On the contrary, it is precisely because it is vulgar that most people like it.
Don't forget, the reason something is called vulgar is because so many people use it and like it! As for what is considered non-vulgar, some people deliberately say they dislike the vulgar things they actually like in order to show that they are non-vulgar, and they even deliberately belittle them, so that they can create the impression that they are non-vulgar.
If someone were to ask Ye Lang whether he was vulgar or not, Ye Lang's answer would definitely be—
I'm vulgar, I'm very vulgar, I've always been a vulgar person!
In fact, everyone has a mundane side, and of course, a remarkable side as well, because everyone is a different individual, unique in their own way, even if they are just an ordinary person!
