Nearly five months have passed since the two met for the first time. At that time, they only had a brief encounter, but they both remembered each other.
Yan Ting remembered him because he was one of the Four Ultimates of Snow Eagle, one of the most talented people of this generation in the Snow Eagle Empire, and might be his strong competitor in terms of empire theory.
As for Linghuya, it was because Yan Ting saved Bai Yu from the Crocodile Man with his Tianyuan realm, so he took one more look at him and had a deeper memory.
Five months later, the two met again and recognized each other immediately.
"If I remember correctly, your name seems to be Yan Ting, right?" Linghu Ya asked with a smile.
"Master Linghu, I said goodbye that day, but I didn't expect to meet here today." Yan Ting nodded slightly. The other party's attitude was not malicious, and he naturally wanted to say hello properly.
Linghu Ya looked at the two people wailing on the ground and said calmly: "Why did these two people offend you?"
"You didn't provoke me, you just wanted to insult a woman, but I stopped you. Besides, that person has a grudge against me." Yan Ting pointed at Cheng Yan and said calmly.
Linghu Ya raised his brows slightly, walked to Xu Yan with a smile, raised his head and took a closer look, then shook it off in disgust and wiped his hands.
"Brother Yan Ting slapped him hard, his face turned red like this. If I admit it correctly, this person should be called Xu Yan. The owner of Thyme Restaurant is his uncle, the two presidents of the Lin Chamber of Commerce.
There are two daughters, one is his mother and the other is his aunt. If you beat him, I'm afraid there will be some trouble later." Linghuya told Xu Yan's background power without expression, and then looked at Yan Ting's expression.
change.
To his surprise, Yan Ting's expression remained unchanged, neither contempt nor fear.
This only shows that he is most likely not from the Snow Eagle Empire, or he just comes from a small place and has never heard of these people's names.
"Well, from what Brother Linghu said, the Lin Chamber of Commerce should have some strength, but I can't stand the bullying of civilian girls, so I took action. If they insist on causing trouble, just let them come to me.
, I will take it all together." Yan Ting responded indifferently.
At this moment, because there was too much movement, half of the people on the first floor had already evacuated. A team of dozens of people quickly went upstairs and surrounded the private room.
A middle-aged man in a purple robe hurriedly walked into the private room. He frowned and looked around, and finally saw Xu Yan in another private room through the wall.
"Who did this?" The middle-aged man glared angrily. There were only three people in the private room, Yan Ting, Yunzhu and Linghu Ya.
He is the owner of Thyme, Tao Mingyuan, the son-in-law of the president of the Lin Chamber of Commerce. His wealth is ranked high in this huge imperial city, and he can be considered a prominent figure. Now someone is making trouble in his restaurant.
, and even beat his nephew, how could he open his eyes and watch.
"Master Linghu, why are you here?"
As the owner of Thyme, he naturally recognized the number one genius of the Wugui Sword Sect. His reputation was much greater than his own, and he was also a frequent customer of Thyme. However, his appearance here still surprised Tao Mingyuan.
"Me? When we were eating, the wall suddenly collapsed, and then the two people flew over. I came over to take a look, and I met an acquaintance. What a coincidence, we were just going to talk about Ling tonight.
Regarding the princess banquet, you led people around here." Linghu Ya said with a hint of joking.
"Princess Ling's banquet!" Tao Mingyuan looked ugly. He probably guessed what happened here. That Xu Yan was ignorant and relied on his family to do whatever he wanted. He repeatedly extended his hands to his maidservant Thyme. He saw that the other party's mother was
I tolerated it for my own sake, but this time it involves Princess Ling, so it may be difficult to end it well.
"Boss Tao,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Your nephew's character really needs to be improved. His family may be able to tolerate it, but if one day he offends someone he can't afford to offend, even if it's not easy to deal with, even though this person is a maid under you,
But unfortunately she knows my friend, and my friend is extremely talented, but your nephew actually wants to attack her, and my friend happens to be here again. Do you think I should help with this? It will be very troublesome to involve this relationship.
" Linghu Ya said vaguely, not making it clear that Yan Ting was invited to Princess Ling's banquet, but also emphasizing that Yan Ting was extremely talented, leaving it to Tao Mingyuan to judge whether he should intervene in this matter.
Tao Mingyuan looked hesitant. If he didn't intervene in this matter, it would be difficult for Xu Yan's mother to explain it. If he did, he might offend Princess Ling.
"Brother Yan Ting, why don't you explain to Boss Tao that this is Boss Tao's territory after all. Even if you have a background and a reason for taking action, you still have to say something for beating Boss Tao's nephew. Don't let Boss Tao
It's not easy to do." Linghuya's voice rose a little.
Yan Ting glanced at him, stepped forward and raised his hands to Tao Mingyuan and said: "I'm really sorry, Boss Tao, my friend was humiliated and had to take action. In anger, the action was not serious for a while. I hope you can forgive me."
Tao Ming blinked and asked, "Which sect or family are you a descendant of, little brother? I don't think I've seen you before."
Linghu Ya narrowed his eyes slightly. This old fox was quite cautious. If Yan Ting said something wrong, he would be able to detect it immediately.
"I just come from a small sect. I'm just lucky enough to be able to enter the imperial city. Maybe I can enter that place tonight. Boss Tao, if you want to blame this matter, just blame me. As for Yunzhu
, she can only be regarded as a victim, let her go." Yan Ting said calmly.
Linghu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, with a faint smile on his face.
Tao Mingyuan's expression was complicated. He didn't know whether Yan Ting's words were true or false. However, Linghuya also mentioned Yan Ting's vague identity. It was easiest for people to misunderstand if he said it vaguely. He would rather let it go than
Being willing to offend someone whose background is unclear.
As for Xu Yan, let him learn a lesson and hope that he can restrain himself from now on.
"In this case, today's matter can be settled here, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let you leave safely. Yunzhu, you will leave Thyme from now on. As for the broken things and my nephew's medical expenses, just
It’s up to you to compensate.”
Tao Mingyuan had some dignity after all. Things were smashed on his property, and his nephew was beaten, and he sent them out with a smile. Wasn't he just slapping himself in the face? Even if the prince and princess came, it wouldn't be like this.
This is an approach. But Xu Yan was indeed at fault in this matter, and he could only ask for compensation from the other party.
Just as Yan Ting was about to nod, Linghu Ya spoke before him: "How come Boss Tao, who is rich and wealthy, still cares about this mere tens of thousands of gold coins? Xu Yan wants to bully women first, and takes the initiative to stir up trouble later. I
My friend is just acting in self-defense, why do we have to compensate for this? Is it possible that Boss Tao has forgotten the laws of the Snow Eagle Empire?"
Yan Ting's eyes suddenly trembled, could this be a test?
Tao Mingyuan frowned slightly. Linghu Ya's sudden speech completely disrupted his formula. Yan Ting must have been on guard now, and it would be even harder to test him again.
"Boss Tao, although I hit someone, the reason was very good. Xu Yan wanted to rape my friend with brutal means. After I stopped him, he attacked me again. I had no choice but to fight back. He was just protecting my safety.
, why did you ask me to compensate you? I don’t understand this matter, so I asked Boss Tao to inform you." Yan Ting also learned some information from Linghu Ya’s words. According to the laws of the Snow Eagle Empire, his behavior is probably
It makes sense that Tao Mingyuan used this to test him.
As for the truth,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It would be better for him to ask Linghu Ya for details once this matter is over.
Tao Mingyuan snorted coldly and sighed: "That's all, you don't have to worry about this matter, but Yunzhu, you have been fired."
"Then thank you Boss Tao Haihan." Linghu Ya patted Yan Ting and motioned for him to leave.
Yan Ting nodded and pulled Yunzhu towards the first floor.
"We're leaving. Let's keep track of the accounts and pay them together next time. Goodbye, Boss Tao." Linghu Ya called his brothers and all left Thyme.
…
"Thank you, Master, for rescuing me. Yunzhu is very grateful." After arriving at a safe place, Yunzhu knelt down directly to Yan Ting. Yan Ting helped her up and shook her head.
"It's no longer safe here. You'd better leave the Imperial City as soon as possible and go live in another city." Yan Ting suggested.
Today he offended Tao Mingyuan and Xu Yan. He was okay, but Yunzhu was in danger. She was a weak woman and had no one to rely on. If she didn't leave quickly, Xu Yan would find her soon. What would happen to her then?
I can't even imagine it.
Yunzhu also understood that her situation was very dangerous. She had been sold to Thyme as a maid for three years. She was alone and had nothing to worry about. She could just leave.
"You can take this carriage with you. The farther you can go, the better. I have something else to do, so I won't send it to you." Yan Ting handed the carriage he came in to Yunzhu. Yunzhu hesitated for a moment, but finally took it.
.
"Sir, take care." With tears in Yunzhu's eyes, he said goodbye to Yan Ting and drove away.
Looking at Yunzhu going away, Yan Ting exhaled.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be a lover!" Linghuya looked at all this on the eaves and couldn't help laughing.
Because the other party helped him to save himself, Yan Ting also had a certain affection for Linghu Ya. At this moment, he was teasing himself, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he laughed and cursed: "What kind of love? I just helped her. Didn't you also help me?"
, is it possible that you are interested in me?"
Linghuya jumped down in one step, walked up to Yan Ting, and said, "I didn't mean that. My orientation is very normal. You reacted very quickly. As long as you nodded at that time, I'm afraid you would have been in a little trouble today."
"By the way, I was just about to ask you why."
Linghu Ya explained: "Now I can confirm that you are not from the Snow Eagle Empire. The Snow Eagle Empire values laws. They were at fault first. Your behavior was self-defense. It was completely reasonable and no compensation was needed at all." He said
Those words are just to test you. If you nod, he will have enough reasons to detain you and then confirm your identity with Princess Ling. When you are exposed, I will also suffer."
Yan Ting was shocked. He had forgotten this. Among the three empires, the Snow Eagle Empire paid the most attention to the law. Except for the Qidu Desert area, the rest of the places had clear legal provisions.
Everyone must comply.
This is one of the reasons why the Snow Eagle Empire has been strong for three thousand years.
Only when everyone abides by the law can national order be stable.
"Brother Linghu, why are you helping me? It seems that we have only met once before." Yan Ting said.
"When we first met, I saw that you were different. Today, I saw that you are a little different. Yan Ting, I want to make friends with you, but I don't know if you are willing to give me a favor.
." Linghu Ya smiled.
"Friend." Yan Ting smiled faintly: "Brother Linghu took the risk to help me out today, and it's not just to make friends with me. I don't really believe it."
