Having dealt with Yang Wanfeng, Ye Li got up from the ground.
But he didn't leave immediately; instead, he looked up at the sky outside the courtyard.
Under the cover of night, astonishing fluctuations of true energy were erupting continuously, causing considerable disturbance to the people. The earth trembled slightly, and dazzling light illuminated half the sky.
In his perception, there were more than a dozen figures fighting outside the courtyard, each emanating a power significantly stronger than his own.
Clearly, there are fourth- or even Fifth Tier martial artists fighting outside the courtyard.
The Shanzhou City's director and deputy director, Instructor Yu Weng from Fengyun University, the Family Head, more than ten of the Yang family's Upper Seat Retainer, and several senior law enforcement officers from the Qingyi Bureau...
"The fighting is fierce; it won't end anytime soon."
"Let's try our luck later; even finishing off a low-health enemy is a bonus."
Ye Li sheathed his spear, rested his fingers on his chin, pondered for a moment, and then leaped onto the roof beam, heading towards the outside of the courtyard.
"..."
Until Ye Li's figure disappeared into the night.
Only when she reached a corner not far from Yang Wanfeng's corpse did the girl dare to take a deep breath of fresh air.
She was tall and slender with a sweet face, but her delicate, exquisitely beautiful face was completely devoid of color under her eyes.
It was Yang Wan.
Even while leaning against the wall, his thin body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes red-rimmed as he stared at the corpse in the corner. "Yang Wanfeng..."
Previously, even though there was a rift between her and Yang Wanfeng, her experiences over the past few years still left her with some expectations of Yang Wanfeng.
But that expectation vanished without a trace the moment she saw the other person lying to the young man in blue.
Even on the verge of death, he was still trying to pin the blame on himself!
Yang Wan was filled with grief and indignation.
All those vows to protect you for life are lies!
In Yang Wanfeng's eyes, his own life was probably always the most important thing.
He was only able to maintain that righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor because his opponents were always weaker than him.
This composure crumbles immediately when faced with a stronger and more ruthless enemy.
But regardless, the other person is now dead.
Moreover, the figure he admired had changed to someone else...
Tears welled up in Yang Wan's eyes as she looked at the corpse, almost biting her lip until it bled.
"Brother, be more careful in your next life. I... I really wish we had never met."
Even a dog would feel a little sad after more than ten years of living together.
After saying that, she looked up in the direction where the boy had disappeared, and a passionate feeling welled up in her heart.
The enemy is besieging the Yang family; I should hate them to the core.
But why does my heart flutter every time I see him/her?
Yang Wan fell silent for a moment, then murmured softly, "Ye Li..."
"Why?"
Just then, behind her, a slightly surprised young voice boomed like thunder. "Your perception is quite good."
In an instant, Yang Wan's scalp felt as if it were about to explode.
From the moment she left until now, she hadn't realized there was someone standing behind her!
He suddenly turned around and stared intently.
A figure in a green robe appeared, and the handsome young man she both loved and hated was already in front of her, his palm, burning with white clouds, pressing down on her like a weight!
"Ye Li? You didn't leave?!"
Yang Wan cried out in surprise. Without asking any more questions, she immediately circulated her inner energy and simultaneously unleashed the Blood Burning Secret Technique, instantly bringing her aura close to the Third-Tier level!
Even so, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; she was instantly overwhelmed by that overwhelming aura that far surpassed her own!
Bang!
Ye Li casually slapped away her outstretched arms, grabbed her slender neck, and slowly lifted her up.
However, some doubts remained in my mind.
Judging from the other person's instinctive scream just now, they shouldn't have noticed me, so why...?
"If you didn't find anything, then why did you call my name?" Ye Li asked, puzzled.
"I..."
Yang Wan's face flushed red, and she struggled with her legs.
Ye Li frowned slightly, tightening his grip a little. "Move again, and you'll never move again for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Yang Wan's face stiffened, and she stopped struggling.
"Answer the questions."
Ye Li slightly reduced the pressure on his hands and said calmly, "From the moment I arrived at the Yang family, you've been secretly watching me, haven't you?"
Since Yang Mei, who was detained, said that the other party was unaware of the situation, then the other party must genuinely be unaware.
Judging solely from his original actions, his crime did not warrant death.
But if one harbors ulterior motives, that's another matter.
Just like now, while the other members of the Yang family dared not look at him, Yang Wan kept stealing glances at him from beginning to end, which was clearly not right.
What do you want to do?
"I think..." Yang Wan's expression kept changing.
I don't recommend that you lie.
Ye Li's expression was calm, but his dark eyes were as cold as the heart of a lake covered in snow in the dead of winter, causing Yang Wan's heart to clench suddenly.
Her breathing quickened, and after a brief struggle, she finally said in a hoarse voice:
"I want to stay by your side..."
This wasn't just a rumor; from the moment the other party came to ransack her home, Yang Wan had this thought in her mind.
The boy had just graduated from Martial Arts High School and became a Third-Tier martial artist, possessing incredible Martial Arts Talent —mysterious and powerful...
His future prospects are limitless.
Looking at myself, my family, which I used to rely on, has been raided. In the future, I will most likely become a member of the Qingyi Bureau in first-tier cities. It may seem acceptable, but in reality, my life is uncertain.
She had heard that core students at Fengyun University could bring a maid to accompany them.
If the young man agrees, then this former eldest daughter of the Yang family might as well condescend to serve as his servant...
Of course, the two must actually be in a romantic relationship.
He'll teach me martial arts and lend me resources, and we'll live a prosperous life. Maybe I can even break through to the Third-Tier before I turn twenty...
Thinking of this, Yang Wan's heart burned even hotter.
"...?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li frowned slightly, a clear look of disgust flashing in his eyes, and flung the other person away. "What kind of mood are you in?"
"Hehe..."
Yang Wan fell heavily to the ground, coughed violently twice, then got up and gritted her teeth, saying, "I really like you, I'll do anything for you!"
"Lie."
Ye Li sneered, "And would you rather I kill your brother, or would you rather I destroy the Yang family's property?"
"... I don't like any of them."
Yang Wan's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected the other person's words to be so sharp.
Hearing this, wouldn't most guys be overjoyed and immediately agree?
Even Yang Wanfeng, who was alive, couldn't withstand it... Yang Wan was extremely anxious.
But for the sake of her future, she gritted her teeth and said:
"But I really want to stay by your side, and I'm willing to do anything for it!"
"That's true." Ye Li raised an eyebrow and then asked:
But what can you do?
"I'm pretty, I can be your girlfriend."
Yang Wan raised her head, biting her lip hard, as if making a great sacrifice:
"Your talent is quite good. As long as you're willing and genuinely care for me in the future, I'll definitely be able to help you!"
Even with some scars remaining on her gentle and sweet face, she still captivated the gaze of most people.
"I see, I understand now, you want me to invest in you."
But Ye Li didn't pay attention to her face. He nodded and walked up to her, saying calmly:
"How about this, if you can withstand one of my blows, I'll agree to it."
"Really?" Yang Wan asked excitedly, recalling how she had caught two punches from the other party last time.
"Certainly."
Ye Li's answer was the same as last time, "I never lie."
Yang Wan immediately perked up. "Great!"
Before he could finish speaking, the instant the syllable was uttered, Ye Li gathered all his energy into a pill and struck out with his palm.
A seemingly light palm strike landed on Yang Wan's chest, and the clear sound of bones breaking suddenly rang out.
Click!
Yang Wan's body was instantly struck as if by a heavy blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as her body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing through solid walls like a cannonball!
Each impact was accompanied by tremendous force, causing brick and stone fragments to fly everywhere and dust to fill the air.
Finally, her body slammed heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away, making a dull thud.
His eyes rolled back, and he was barely breathing.
"Baffling."
Ye Li's voice was icy as he withdrew his hand.
He glanced at the unconscious young lady of the Yang family who had gone back to her quarters, snorted coldly, and turned to walk back out of the courtyard.
That guy must have lost his mind.
I was already ready to settle the score, and not only did she not thank me, but she also wanted me to play a dating game with her?
Someone like that, you must be joking!
