As he squeezed through the crowd, Guan Qingheng saw Ye Chong and Feng Su surrounded in the middle. In the end, his gaze fell on Ye Chong. To most people, Feng Su might be more attractive. However, to Guan Qingheng, who had grown up in May's Night Ridge, she was no longer attractive to him.
Guan Qingheng's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. In fact, there were only a handful of people in Line Shaft City who knew him. Most of the people he knew were the core executives of the major trading firms. His contact with them was purely business. His identity was a closely guarded secret among the major trading firms.
"What is your relationship with May's Night Ridge, Brother Guan? Please tell us, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. We have respected May's Night Ridge for a long time, and will not tolerate impersonation, "Abeni spoke again, his earlier anger gone.
Guan? Guan Qingheng's eyes glowed.
Outsiders did not know what it was like to live in May's Night Ridge. The interior of May's Night Ridge was not as simple as people imagined. It was made up of 14 families. These 14 people were not fixed. Every once in a while, the Ridge Council would review the qualifications of each family. If a family's contribution to the Ridge fell below a certain value, they would be stripped of their right to live in the Ridge. Instead, they would be replaced by a new prominent alchemy school or aristocratic family. The stripped family or school would also have to guard all information about the Ridge. If they did not, they would lose their right to live in the Ridge forever, and would be punished cruelly by the entire Ridge.
Guan Qingheng studied Ye Chong again. His eyes finally fell on the wooden spear in Ye Chong's hand. The pitch-black tip of the spear was inconspicuous, but even in such a chaotic environment, Guan Qingheng still managed to capture a faint hint of sweetness.
He immediately had a rough idea of how toxic the tip of the spear was.
What a potent poison! Guan Qingheng's expression changed. He was an expert in alchemy.
He decided to wait and see.
"Sorry, no comment," Ye Chong said coldly. It was not that he did not want to say, but he did not know how. Lunatic Guan had asked him to come to May's Night Ridge, but did not explain why. He was also confused.
It did not feel good to be threatened, and Ye Chong did not like it. Although he had tried his best to suppress this feeling of disgust and did not want to have a conflict with these five people, it did not mean that he would compromise under any conditions.
Mu's calmness had deeply affected Ye Chong, but his slickness had nothing to do with him.
Moreover, if a conflict really broke out, it wasn't as if he didn't have the strength to fight back.
Looking coldly at the crowd, Ye Chong was like a beast waiting to pounce, full of danger.
The atmosphere between the experts was very subtle. Ye Chong's reaction immediately made the five of them hostile.
Feng Su cried bitterly in her heart. She never thought that this somewhat familiar youth would be so reckless. The consequences of shedding all pretense of cordiality under such circumstances could be imagined.
Ye Chong calculated quickly in his mind. He had to admit that his chances of winning were slim, almost negligible. The only thing he could rely on now was the overbearing poison of the wooden spear in his hand.
The battle did not erupt as he had imagined, which showed that his calculations were not omnipotent. The five of them were more wary of Ye Chong than he had expected.
Liu Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since Brother Guan has business to attend to at May's Night Ridge, we will not delay your business. However, once you are done with your business, would you like to attend the Congregation with us? "
Ye Chong was surprised that the five of them would back down, but he did not let his guard down. He was thinking quickly.
It could be said that the five of them had made a considerable concession. Tackan and Psyker looked a little dissatisfied, but they didn't say anything. It was obvious that they were not satisfied with Liu Sheng's suggestion.
Their actions showed that they were treating Ye Chong as equals. After all, in the free space zone, it was common for the strong to look down on the weak. The five of them were used to looking down on the weak.
After some thought, Ye Chong replied honestly, "I can't promise you that." He could feel their sincerity, but before the trip to May's Night Ridge was completed, he could not make any plans.
He did not object to the suggestion. The other party was far stronger than him, and survival of the fittest was the most basic rule of this world. Ye Chong was more used to the more direct and straightforward rules of the free space zone. He could choose to compromise to a certain extent, for no other reason than that the other party was stronger than him. Most of the time, Ye Chong believed in strength.
Feng Su cursed the young man for being an idiot. If he agreed now, everything would be fine. How could he say that he could not guarantee anything? That was too stupid!
However, to her surprise, Liu Sheng and the other four smiled at Ye Chong's words, each of them showing a look of appreciation.
Sisko's suppressed voice was now indescribably cheerful. "Haha, not bad, not bad! You're the first one to be so honest! I like it. Unlike some people who think they can fool us with a lie. People like that, hehe, we've killed so many of them already. "Sisko's last sentence sounded nonchalant, but it was a menacing one!
The onlookers shuddered.
Feng Su's heart thumped wildly, and she secretly rejoiced that it wasn't her who had answered just now.
Liu Sheng's lips curled into a smile. "Alright, we don't need any guarantees. We'll wait for you here in a month. If you're not here by then, we'll wait for another month. We hope you can come. "
Ye Chong was still calm, but he nodded. "Alright!" Resolutely and frankly. The admiration in the eyes of Liu Sheng and the others became even more intense.
"Young lady, we invite you to the Congregation. Please do not refuse. " Liu Sheng turned back to Feng Su, but his attitude was completely different from when he was with Ye Chong. His tone now was unquestionable.
The other four stared at Feng Su unkindly.
Feng Su could feel the blood in her body freezing. The combined power of five Jie experts was terrifying. She had just broken through the Jie realm not long ago, how could she withstand such a powerful force?
The blood drained from her face under the veil.
Feng Su's resentful eyes looked at Ye Chong, pleading for help. Her graceful figure seemed even more delicate and pitiful at this moment, and her eyes were misty and resentful, causing one's heart to shatter. The onlookers could not bear to see her like this. Many of them closed their eyes.
How pitiful! Liu Sheng and the others' image in the eyes of the onlookers had taken a nosedive. They now saw them as evil people who forced women into prostitution. But under the pressure of the five, not a single person dared to make a sound.
Everyone looked at Ye Chong, screaming in their hearts, "Save her! Save her! "
"Then I'll be going." Ye Chong said calmly, ignoring Feng Su's resentful glare. He nodded to the five of them and turned to leave.
Feng Su closed her eyes in despair! Countless hearts shattered in that instant.
"Are you still a man?" A woman in the crowd could not take it anymore. She stood up and shouted at Ye Chong, her voice full of disdain and disdain. Her words were like a fuse that ignited the crowd.
"That's right, are you still a man?"
"Hmph, talk about May's Night Ridge. Is May's Night Ridge full of cowards? " These words caused Guan Qingheng, who was mixed in the crowd, to sweat profusely. He could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. Image! The image of May's Night Ridge!
The onlookers began to denounce Ye Chong, scolding him with words and writing. Ye Chong was drowned in all kinds of malicious words.
Even the five Jie experts were taken aback by the sudden outburst. Ye Chong was baffled.
He did not think there was anything wrong with what he did, so why were these people reacting so strangely?
"Does anyone have something to say?" Sisko's violent voice rang out.
The scolding that was like a monstrous wave suddenly disappeared, and the whole place was dead silent. Psyker's cruel eyes were filled with extreme hostility as he swept his gaze across the crowd. Every onlooker subconsciously shrank back into the crowd when they saw this terrifying gaze.
"Stop acting pitiful, let's go," Liu Sheng said plainly to Feng Su.
Poor Feng Su. She could not fight back at all. She did not even have the chance to deploy her mech, let alone call for help. Under the gaze of five pairs of eyes, she dared not make a move.
"I'll just listen to them and find a chance," she thought to herself. As long as she was given the slightest gap, she could escape from this group of people and even completely kill them.
With her mech, all she needed was an opportunity! That d * mned bastard, how dare he ignore me!
Ye Chong took the opportunity to leave the crowd. When he directly crippled a few fellows who intended to secretly plot against him, the onlookers who were originally full of disdain and contempt for him finally understood that this inconspicuous young man was actually not a good person!
Those who had cursed him earlier were now silent, not daring to make a sound.
The men who were rolling on the ground were screaming in pain, sending chills down their spines!
Ye Chong saw the fear in the eyes of the onlookers, and calmly squeezed out of the crowd.
It seemed that he would have to enter Line Shaft City and find out the exact location of May's Night Ridge.
"You're going to May's Night Ridge?"
A man's voice came from behind him. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com. More chapters. Support the author. Support legal reading!)
