"Your Excellency Li Yang, please allow me to express my purest gratitude. []" A young man with a strong back and a bearded face said politely to Li Yang, bending down.
"Lord Barnes?!" Zhou Lan had confusion and surprise on her face.
Even the Zhou Family Bandung Chamber of Commerce has some respect for the empire. After all, the empire's machinery is so huge that even the top ten mainland chambers of commerce are inferior to it. It is estimated that even those who have been rumored for thousands of years
A century-old family is also afraid of the empire.
"Is this your daughter?" After a pause, Zhou Lan asked Ram strangely.
As the daughter of the city lord, how could she go to the auditorium and almost get injured in the chaos? This is really unimaginable.
"Haha" Lord Embas smiled bitterly and said to Ram, "I have to ask my little daughter."
Looking timidly at Lord Embas, Ram looked embarrassed and said, "I just want to go."
"It's because of you that I almost caused big trouble." Li Yang said something to Ram, finally realizing what kind of unexpected situation he had just prevented by accident.
If Ram is accidentally injured and the Lord of Embas becomes angry, the outcome will definitely not end easily. Although the Lord of Embas seems so gentle now.
"By the way, in order to repay you for saving my daughter, why don't I host a banquet tonight for you and Miss Zhou Lan to dine at the City Lord's Mansion." With a suggestive tone, City Lord Embas said.
"Huh? You mean you want to entertain us?" Zhou Lan asked in surprise.
This is a sign of goodwill from Embas. If he can seize this opportunity, he might be able to establish his power in one step.
However, being able to get the city lord to express his kindness in person, Zhou Lan was certain that this was not just because Li Yang saved his little daughter.
Of course, it can't be because of one's own fault.
Even though he has now confirmed that he can possess some power, this little power cannot be the reason for being looked at differently by Barnes. Zhou Lan is still very self-aware of this.
In other words, it was Li Yang who really made Embas stand out.
After glancing at Li Yang slightly, Zhou Lan's eyes became even weirder towards the young man in front of her.
Curiosity, doubt, surprise, envy and maybe a little love
"The city lord has invited you, why don't you respond quickly?" Finding that Li Yang, the real owner, seemed to be in a daze, Zhou Lan quickly nudged Li Yang slightly with her elbow and reminded him.
"Oh, ah, thank you City Lord. Let me know when the time comes. I will definitely go." While sorting out the information from the battle just now, Li Yang raised his head and said something to Embas, but immediately lowered his head and continued thinking.
stand up.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Li Yang seems a bit strange." Seeing Li Yang's behavior, Zhou Lan quickly apologized instead.
"It's nothing. It's because His Excellency Li Yang devotes himself to cultivation every moment, that's why he has such incredible strength." After waving his hand, Embas behaved very gracefully.
"Then, let Your Excellency Li Yang have a good rest today. I will send someone to invite Miss Zhou Lan and Your Excellency Li Yang the night after tomorrow."
After saying that, Embas took his chirping little loli and slowly left the arena.
As he left, many soldiers who originally protected Embas also jogged away in an orderly manner.
Although this was just a small episode, because of this move by Lord Embas, many nobles in the arena realized that this young man named Li Yang might become the new rich man in Tras City.
For the aristocrats who are good at observing people's words and applauding others, everyone's reaction at this time is exactly the same.
In just the blink of an eye, the area around Zhou Lan and the others that had become empty once again became crowded.
"Haha, this must be Your Excellency Li Yang, I have always wanted to see you." A fat young man walked up to Li Yang with his servant and stretched out his right hand.
"Baron Bondi, it's you." Turning around, Zhou Lan bowed respectfully.
"Haha, Miss Zhou Lan doesn't need to be so polite. I think we will become friends in the future." Baron Bondi said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your kind words, Baron." After bowing, Zhou Lan sighed slightly.
You know, no noble person has ever been so polite to me before.
Sighing in her heart, Zhou Lan turned to the other nobles who were looking at her eagerly, and smiled slightly, "Everyone, don't stand here anymore. If you don't mind, you can go to my place and take a rest."
Hearing Zhou Lan's words, all the aristocratic and powerful people showed smiles on their faces, "Then it is better for us to be respectful than to obey."
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk to Zhou Lan, many people went to Li Yang.
Different from Zhou Lan's smoothness, Li Yang gave them the impression of being inhumane and even a bit dull.
Looking closely at Li Yang, who lowered his head in deep thought, many people couldn't help but wonder secretly. How come this young man is not as old as his own son, but why does such a young man possess such terrifying abilities, even forcing a magister to surrender?
"Li Yang, let's go back first." Zhou Lan reminded Li Yang in a low voice after nudging Li Yang with her elbow again.
"Oh, then I'll go back to the hotel first. I still have some things to do." Li Yang said after waking up.
"" Li Yang's words made the crowd quiet for a moment.
Does he really not know or is he pretending not to know? The reason why he and others are willing to show their kindness in person is all because of him. Why doesn't he come out?
"Li Yang, you" shook his lips, and Zhou Lancai whispered: "Just think of me as begging you, just participate once."
He wanted to frown, but immediately, Li Yang remembered what he had promised.
"Okay." Li Yang's eyes showed a little reluctance, but he finally nodded.
The group of people clamored and slowly left the arena under the leadership of Li Yang and Zhou Lan. Today they gained a lot, not only Li Yang, but also Zhou Lan. But now because of these nobles and powerful people, Li Yang and Zhou Lan have not yet
Take time to sort out your gains.
It is said that in thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, Li Yang and the others left, and other audiences had already begun to leave in batches.
The crowds left one by one, and the originally lively arena suddenly became silent. The huge space of the grand arena seemed a bit empty at this moment.
"hateful!"
After punching himself hard on the thigh, Zhou Haotian sat on his chair with a ferocious look on his face.
How could this happen! I had prepared so perfectly, why did things turn out like this?
"Go to hell!" With a fierce roar, Zhou Haotian stood up, grabbed the chair under him, and smashed it to the ground.
The chair shattered, but Zhou Haotian felt no pleasure at all.
You have ruined yourself! The competition for successors this time is particularly fierce. If you don’t stand out, you can only wait for elimination and destruction!
"What should I do? What should I do?"
Sitting on the ground dejectedly, Zhou Haotian stared blankly at the fragments of the chair on the ground and muttered to himself.
However, he was too arrogant before. When he was in power, it was nothing, but at this time, there was no one willing to care about and comfort him.
After sitting there for a long time, Zhou Hao finally slowly got up from the ground.
Although he knew that his situation was very bad, he still had to face what he had to face. Zhou Haotian decided to return home first.
"What did you say?"
Returning to his temporary residence, Zhou Haotian listened to the reports from his men, and his already pale face became even paler.
"It's the real young master. Mr. Baron said that he doesn't want the things that the young master promised, and he will never have anything to do with the young master in the future." In front of him, a subordinate was sweating profusely.
In an instant, Zhou Haotian felt as if his world was spinning. Without power, he even had no allies. He was so confident just a moment ago, but now he has reached such a point?
"Go down," Zhou Haotian whispered, slowly sitting on the chair in front of him.
After a long time, Zhou Hao woke up from his daze, only to find that he was already covered in cold sweat.
His throat moved, and a dry feeling arose spontaneously, as if his throat was burning with a ball of fire.
"Come here, bring me a cup of tea."
Shouting loudly, Zhou Haotian's voice was a little harsh.
But there was no one.
"Where are you dead? Didn't you hear what I said?" Zhou Haotian stood up suddenly and roared loudly, a burst of anger mixed with various emotions.
"Haha, Master Haotian is still as charming as ever."
An abrupt and somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded, breaking Zhou Haotian's voice that originally echoed in the hall.
"who?"
With all the hair on his body standing on end, Zhou Haotian suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis. Only now did he suddenly remember that when he came back from the arena, the magicians who protected him had dispersed, and they should have been surrounding him at all times.
The crowd had actually disappeared, leaving only me.
"Master Haotian, just rest in peace like this. I will help you deal with everything about you." The voice was silent for a while, then sounded again, but it brought a desperate message to Zhou Haotian.
As the voice fell, Zhou Haotian immediately felt a pain in his throat, and then he lost any consciousness.
"Unexpectedly, because of Zhou Lan's rise, my plan was forced to change like this." Glancing at Zhou Haotian's body, Zhou Yan's figure disappeared into the darkness again.
