"No need for money. I'm a Prodigal Son and love giving things away! Besides, this kind of thing only has its value when it's in the right person's hands. I don't need it!" Ye Lang placed the book in Li Shiba's hands.
"I still can't take it. I can't just take yours for free!" Li Shiba shook his head and said.
"Alright then! If you withdraw from this Bride Selection Event, I'll not only give you a book, but also a weapon! This Azure Dragon Blade should suit you perfectly, and it goes well with that Azure Dragon Combat Skill." Ye Lang took out another blade from his ring. It was entirely blue and didn't look particularly impressive, but in fact, it was something else entirely.
Anything that Ye Lang, that Prodigal Son, could acquire is no ordinary item!
"Okay, it's settled then!" For Li Shiba, the secret manual and the treasured sword were clearly much more attractive than Kasha, and he quickly chose the former.
"..." Everyone was speechless, not only because of Li Shiba, but also because of Ye Lang!
"Young Master Ye, you're too despicable, using such a method to force people to withdraw!" The very person who had been so sensible, the one who had challenged Ye Lang, jumped out again to curse Ye Lang.
"It doesn't matter what method you use, as long as you achieve your goal. You should thank me; I'm helping you eliminate a formidable opponent!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly.
"I won't thank you, and I wouldn't stoop to using such methods to eliminate my opponents! I want to do things fair and square!!" the man said righteously.
"Open and aboveboard, didn't I do the same? I just made an open and aboveboard exchange with him!" Ye Lang said blankly.
"..."
In a way, Ye Lang's actions just now were indeed aboveboard!
"Hmph, sophistry!! Come on, let me help you correct your thinking!" the man scoffed.
"My thinking has always been correct, it doesn't need correction!" Ye Lang said blankly. "By the way, what conditions do you want to withdraw? Name your price!"
"My condition is that you die!!" the man said coldly, looking very cool.
Ye Lang shook his head and said, "This one won't do, let's find another one!"
"..."
Didn't he realize that the other person was rejecting him?
"Change it. Get out of here right now and stop insulting Miss Kasha!" The man was stunned for a moment before speaking.
"Get lost? I don't know how to do that. Can you demonstrate? Also, I didn't insult Miss Kasha, I only insulted you all!" Ye Lang looked at everyone and said with a smile.
"You... I'll show you why flowers are so red!!"
"Why?" Ye Lang asked again, as his cousin hadn't answered him yet.
"..."
The man had lost his patience and, disregarding everything else, charged forward, engaging Ye Lang in close combat...
"Bump!"
"?!"
After a soft thud, the man was sent flying before he could even get close to Ye Lang, and then he simply collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
At this moment, everyone saw that Xiao Rui was standing straight in front of Ye Lang. Many people had just seen that she had punched someone and sent them flying.
No one paid any attention to her just now, and no one expected her to launch a surprise attack, because it was against common sense. And because of this, the person who wanted to attack Ye Lang was also caught off guard by Xiao Rui and was easily ambushed.
"Miss, how could you attack someone like that?"
The normal procedure would be to question Xiao Rui about this issue first, but now everyone is directly shifting the blame to Ye Lang, because everyone is certain that Ye Lang instructed Xiao Rui to launch the sneak attack!
He has already shown his despicable side, and now he is just continuing to show it to everyone!
"Young Master Ye, what you've done is utterly despicable!" Johnny said to Ye Lang, his polite tone tinged with a hint of indignation.
Johnny handled this very well, expressing his anger without being impolite!
Ye Lang watched as Li Shiba was called away, smiled, and then slowly replied, "What did I do? He attacked me, and my Xiao Rui was acting in self-defense!"
"..."
Can this be calculated like this? I don't think so!
"Young Master Ye, this is a competition, not a regular one where you can only compete alone!" Miss Kasha said, frowning.
"Oh... just one person. I'm going to rest now. Xiao Rui, you handle them by yourself!" Ye Lang withdrew at this moment, wanting Xiao Rui to fight.
"..." The entire room fell silent.
"Young Master Ye, it's you alone, not your Xiao Rui!" Johnny said with a headache.
"Aren't they all the same? What's the difference?" Ye Lang replied.
"You're going to marry Miss Kasha, not your Xiao Rui!!"
"The same goes. If Miss Kasha is willing to marry, my Xiao Rui can also marry her," Ye Lang replied blankly.
Lilies? I like that!
Suddenly, the image of Miss Kasha and Xiao Rui together flashed into everyone's minds. It was so alluring and tempting!
Damn, what nonsense am I thinking?!
"Ahem, Young Master, please do not cause trouble and follow the rules, or you will be disqualified!" the City Lord coughed at this moment.
"Fine, then let me deal with these people by myself. Do you want to come at me all at once, or one by one?" Ye Lang put on a disdainful look, which infuriated the others, except for a few well-mannered ones.
"Damn it, Little Black, why are you glaring at me like that? Don't forget, I'm helping you!!"
Ye Lang noticed that the ungrateful Edward had actually joined the enemy camp. Damn, he really betrayed him for a woman...
"..." Edward seemed to only then realize that he had somehow ended up with these people. This wasn't his fault; it was his own fault for being so despicable!
However, one thing is certain: Ye Lang has isolated himself on the other side, becoming a shameless scoundrel whom everyone wants to kill!
"We won't be as shameless as you, we won't bully the few with numbers, we'll fight you one by one!" someone said fiercely to Ye Lang, now united in their hatred of the enemy.
"They're all just as despicable, taking turns fighting me. Isn't this just a war of attrition?" Ye Lang said disdainfully.
"...Well, we'll select a few representatives. If you beat them, that's the same as beating us!" the group thought for a moment and then said.
"Feifei, this Young Master Ye is so shameless! I'd rather die than marry him!" Kasha asked Feifei, the girl beside her.
"Hmm, he's shameless, just like that person, just as despicable. Hmm, he seems to be..." The girl looked at Ye Lang, frowning as if recalling something.
