Slap (1)

"Bang!"

A heavy thud, followed by a faint, pitiful groan.

"..." At this moment, Ye Lang realized that he had made a mistake. He should not have dodged the unknown object; he should have caught it instead.

"Uh, old man, are you alright?"

The unidentified object was an old man. Ye Lang immediately went up to ask him questions and checked the old man's body.

"I'm fine, young master. Could you give me something to eat? I haven't eaten in a long time." The old man seemed to drool when he saw the roasted meat in Ye Lang's hand, and his voice was not so pitiful, as if he had forgotten the pain in his body.

"Here you go!" Ye Lang didn't hesitate and handed the roasted meat to the old man. After receiving the meat, the old man immediately started eating it, stuffing his mouth quite full.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke!" Ye Lang said kindly when he saw the situation.

"Ugh... cough cough..." The old man immediately responded to Ye Lang's words, started choking, pounded his chest, and waved his hands and feet, trying to drink water.

"Here, have some of this!" Ye Lang handed a bottle of juice to the old man.

"Gulp gurgle..."

The old man drank the juice, which relieved his choking, and let out a comfortable groan. He then continued to eat the meat heartily, seemingly starving.

"Boy, who are you!" The disdainful voice rang out again. Ye Lang looked over and saw a richly dressed, arrogant young master.

"Hello, my name is Ye Lang." Ye Lang answered truthfully. At this moment, he felt there was no need to hide anything; his name was no secret.

There's more than one person named Ye Lang, so tell others what the relationship is.

"Ye Lang? You surnamed Ye, who are you to this dead beggar?" The spoiled brat didn't notice who Ye Lang was; the name was too ordinary. However, he did care that Ye Lang's surname was Ye.

It sounds like this old man also has the surname Ye, or that he has a relative with the surname Ye.

"He is my grandson," the old man suddenly said.

"Huh?" Ye Lang was a little confused about this situation. How did he suddenly become this old man's grandson? One thing he couldn't be sure of was that this old man was a celebrity.

At least this spoiled brat in front of him knows something about him!

"Your grandson? Wasn't he already dead?" the spoiled brat said.

"That's just hearsay! My grandson isn't dead!" the old man suddenly roared, seemingly dissatisfied with the young master's words and also seemingly unwilling to accept the situation.

"Not dead?" The spoiled young master was a little confused, but that confusion quickly disappeared, replaced by disdain. "So what if he's your grandson? He's still a piece of trash!!"

"My grandson is not a good-for-nothing!!" the old man roared.

"??" Ye Lang was still confused.

In fact, Ye Lang did not know that the old man's grandson was an Attribute-less being like him, and was called a waste. It was really too difficult for Attribute-less being to make any achievements in this continent.

However, the old man's grandson was also quite good. Although Attribute-less, he could keep up with those who did. However, he eventually went to participate in an adventure and died in an accident.

"Hmph! Trash is trash, even if he doesn't die, it's useless," the spoiled brat said.

"My grandson is not a good-for-nothing, my grandson is not dead..." The old man shook his head, seemingly very sad.

Seeing this, Ye Lang chose to leave immediately, ignoring both the spoiled young master and the old man. He needed to find a place to stay; he had no time to concern himself with other people's affairs.

The old man had just inexplicably referred to him as his grandson, which made Ye Lang feel a little annoyed. This was not something that could be said so casually, and no matter how sympathetic the reason, it was not acceptable!

"Ah?!"

The old man and the spoiled young master watched Ye Lang leave without even glancing at them, and they knew that Ye Lang completely ignored them.

The old man seemed to regret it now, wondering why he had thought the young man was easy to talk to and had spoken carelessly, which had clearly offended the young man.

However, the old man still had a glimmer of hope that Ye Lang could temporarily act as his grandson, so that he could make up for his regrets. At least during this time, he wanted someone to keep him company.

Ye Lang also knew the reason. From the moment he examined the old man's condition, he understood that the old man was nearing the end of his life and didn't have much time left.

This is the end of life force. No matter how powerful Ye Lang is, he cannot stop it unless he has some heaven-defying items or uses heaven-defying methods.

However, defying the heavens is easier said than done, and Ye Lang would not easily do something that goes against the natural order.

If the old man hadn't reached this point, Ye Lang would have already started cursing him out. Treating him like a grandson would be an insult to his grandfather if the old man agreed.

Don't think that you can act recklessly just because you feel sorry for yourself. Being pitiful is one thing, but you can't expect others to sympathize with you just because you feel sorry for yourself. People like that don't deserve pity.

Therefore, Ye Lang will choose to simply ignore it!

"Hey Ye, what do you mean by this?!" The spoiled brat blocked Ye Lang's path. "Don't you care about your grandfather?"

"I'm not his grandson, please move aside!" Ye Lang frowned and said softly.

"You're not? Haha, you dead beggar, it seems your grandson is quite pragmatic, directly denying you. Very good, very good, kid, I like your personality, shameless enough!!" the spoiled brat said with a loud laugh.

Meanwhile, more and more spectators began to gather around, pointing and whispering about Ye Lang.

It seems that the uninformed audience and this spoiled brat share the same idea: Ye Lang is actually the old man's grandson, but because the old man's status is low, he doesn't want to admit it now.

There will always be some people who feel ashamed of their parents and elders and don't want to acknowledge their relationship. Such people will exist no matter the time or the planet.

These people don't know what gratitude is; they only care about saving face and disregard the feelings of their parents and elders!

However, at this moment, Ye Lang was not in that situation. He really wasn't. It's just that the people present wouldn't think that way; they had a preconceived notion.

"Shameless? I'm not his grandson. This old man's head's a bit fuzzy; he's talking nonsense." Ye Lang waved his hand and said, "Move aside, I need to pass!"

"Kid! I'm going to be a good person today and show you what it means to respect your elders!" the spoiled brat said.

"Boring!" Ye Lang left these words and then flashed past the spoiled young master. No one saw how he got past him; all that was known was that he was just in front of the spoiled young master, and the next moment he was behind him.
