Do Not Despise a Poor Young Man (2)

"I'm just saying that old man Ye Sheng said it, but that doesn't represent the final decision, much less what I want," Ye Lang said calmly.

"Then what do you want? Someone else?" Migen asked.

"No!" Ye Lang refused decisively.

Ye Lang's words put everyone at ease. The thing they least wanted had been removed, and even if they were to make three conditions, they would have no problem with it.

Ye Lang's decisiveness gave everyone the feeling that Ye Lang disdained marrying anyone from their Lineage, which they found a bit strange. Why did they have this feeling?

How could a poor commoner like him disdain marrying someone from a prominent Lineage?

"That makes three conditions. Whatever conditions you want, as long as we can meet them, we will definitely help you achieve them," the patriarch said immediately.

Here, they also made a small insurance policy, saying that as long as they can do it, it means that if they can't, then they won't do it.

Therefore, this condition cannot be proposed casually; there are limitations.

However, this restriction had absolutely no effect on Ye Lang, simply because Ye Lang had never even considered this condition.

"No need!" Ye Lang said.

Debbie and the others were stunned. They felt that this sounded a bit unbelievable. It would be fine if they didn't want women, after all, the women of the Hader Family were not something ordinary people could afford to support.

Those who are smarter will choose the right conditions. The three conditions of the Hader Family are enough to ensure a person's carefree life: women, wealth, and power.

But now, no matter what they hear, Ye Lang still refuses, which is completely beyond their expectations.

"What?! You don't need it?" Even the usually composed patriarch was now somewhat agitated.

"No! No need!" Ye Lang nodded.

"Do you need anything else?" the patriarch asked, and as soon as he asked the question, he felt like an idiot. If he needed something else, he should have just stated his conditions. Why give up?

"No need!" Ye Lang shook his head and said.

"If you don't need anything, then what are you doing here?" Debbie asked curiously.

"Idiot! I didn't come here to return the jade pendant, isn't that obvious? Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I'm very busy." Ye Lang got up and left, taking a pastry with him and putting it in his mouth.

"Ye Lang, do you really not want anything?" Migen asked at this moment.

Sometimes, when others don't want anything, people feel a little uncomfortable and will keep asking, as if they want something from the other person.

"No! The old man said that even the poor have their dignity. We can't be arrogant, but we can't be without pride!" Ye Lang shook his head and said calmly, glancing around with a detached look.

Ye Lang's words deeply shocked the four people present. They seemed to have never thought of this point. They had too much of a misunderstanding of the poor, thinking that the poor would always want their own benefits.

However, in this world, there are countless ordinary poor people who, like everyone else, possess unyielding integrity and strive through their own efforts.

Many nobles and wealthy people came from among these commoners and the poor, just like the Hader Family in the past.

However, after becoming nobles and wealthy, their next generation and the generation after that will begin to be arrogant and look down on their Lineage's original origins—commoners and poor people.

At this moment, the four of them felt that there seemed to be a kind of disdain in Ye Lang's indifferent gaze just now, a disdain for them.

They never even considered anything from you, yet you keep assuming they'll want this and that—that's truly despicable!

"Young Master Ye Lang, if you don't mind, please stay here tonight and let us show you some hospitality," the family head sincerely invited.

"No, I have room..." Ye Lang shook his head.

"Isn't it a park or square? You have a perfectly good place to stay, yet you're sleeping on the streets. That's not pride, that's arrogance!" Debbie immediately said. She believed Ye Lang didn't have money to stay because that's what Ye Lang said yesterday, and Ye Lang had been very excited about a copper coin in front of them.

All of this demonstrates one thing: Ye Lang was very poor!

"I'm not being arrogant, I just don't want to live with you. From the looks in your eyes just now, I know you don't like me," Ye Lang said directly.

"This..." Debbie and the others felt their faces getting hot.

"I'm leaving! I believe we'll never see each other again!" Ye Lang waved his hand and left under the watchful eyes of the four.

"..."

The four remained silent for a long time in the side hall. Ye Lang's incident taught them a lesson: never underestimate anyone, for nobility is not inherited, and anyone can surprise you.

"Debbie, you said he was sleeping on the streets and got excited over a copper coin. What's going on? Where did you see him before?" The family head's question broke the silence.

Soon, Debbie told the head of the family everything.

"... If he hadn't been sleeping on the streets, I would have suspected that he was the legendary Ye Lang. But thinking about it, that's impossible. Ye Lang shouldn't be here now. He should be in the Vermilion Bird Empire. His family is about to reunite with the Vermilion Bird Dragon Family. I never imagined that the Ye Clan's daughter-in-law would actually be a princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire." The family head sighed with emotion.

When they received this news, most people were shocked. Now it seems that the Vermilion Bird Empire is deliberately making this public to let people know about their relationship with the Ye Clan and that Ye Lang's maternal grandmother is the Empress Dowager of the Vermilion Bird Empire.

"Father, you mean that Ye Lang? Impossible. Although there are rumors that he is a bit confused, that Ye Lang too extravagant. He always stays in the best hotels and eats the most expensive food. It can't be this one!" Xi Er had also heard some rumors about Ye Lang, and she felt that this Ye Lang was not the same Ye Lang.

"Hmm, probably not! There are many people named Ye Lang. In our empire alone, there are tens of thousands of people with this name," the patriarch nodded and said.

"Didn't he just pass a test? How did he pass it?" The patriarch suddenly remembered this, as it would allow them to learn more about Ye Lang.

So Debbie and the other three went to the hall and called over the chief examiner of the guards to ask him about the matter in person.

"What?! You're saying he subdued a level nine guard with a single sword strike? And with that tiny sword?" Debbie asked first after hearing this.

In her mind, the sword Ye Lang was holding was completely useless for fighting; it was just for show. She had even said it wasn't enough to kill chickens. But now Ye Lang had proven her wrong; this sword was enough to kill people.
