The Scarlet Flame Horse fell to the ground. No blood flowed out of its mouth and nose, but the flames beneath its feet and on its head had already dimmed. It was clearly dead.
Ye Zichen looked at the youth with a smile. The people on the street all opened their eyes wide.
To be able to use a Scarlet Flame Horse to escort the bride, he definitely had a powerful background. However, Ye Zichen had killed the Scarlet Flame Horse right in front of everyone.
He …
When the flames on the Scarlet Flame Horse were completely extinguished, the youth's expression was so dark that it seemed like it was about to drip water.
The people on the street all knew that this matter definitely wasn't going to end peacefully. The mother and son duo that Ye Zichen had saved stopped by the side of the street and secretly worried for their benefactor.
Ye Zichen acted as if he didn't notice the youth's change in mood. His eyes were filled with a warm smile as he rubbed his ring.
"How much did you buy this Scarlet Flame Horse for? Tell me a number and I'll give it to you right now."
"You're seeking death!"
As the youth roared, the thugs behind him instantly blocked Ye Zichen's path of retreat.
"What are you doing? Didn't you want compensation? It's not like I won't compensate you. Why did you call these people over? Are they going to beat me up?" Ye Zichen shrunk his neck.
"You really are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit. You killed the Scarlet Flame Horse of our City Lord's Manor. If we just compensate and let this go, then where is the face of the City Lord's Manor?" said the youth sinisterly.
"Oh!" Ye Zichen seemed to understand. "So it's not just about compensation. There's also a matter of face? That makes things much easier! "
"Hmm?" The youth frowned.
Instantly, Ye Zichen's smile vanished, and a silver longsword appeared in his hand.
His aura surged outwards like waves. All of a sudden, the pupils of the people on the street, as well as the thugs blocking Ye Zichen's path of retreat and the youth constricted.
"I blocked a calamity for you, yet you keep causing trouble for me. Shouldn't I settle the matter of face with you? Huh? "
The shockwave suddenly burst out, and the groom and his thugs were all sent flying by the shockwave.
At that moment, several figures leapt out of the carriages in the middle of the procession and landed beside the youth.
"Little …"
Before they could speak, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared beside Ye Zichen.
It was the Great Sage!
The Great Sage had only subtly released his aura before withdrawing it back into his body. However, even though it was just a fleeting movement, it was still seen through by the others. They forcefully swallowed the rest of their words.
"Friend, we are from the City Lord Mansion of Violet Glass City. All of this might be a misunderstanding."
A middle-aged man walked out of the group. Ye Zichen glanced at him indifferently, and immediately knew that the pressure he felt at the very beginning was released by this middle-aged man.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man also released his aura.
Ruler.
The corners of Ye Zichen's lips curled up. He understood that the middle-aged man was subtly trying to tell him that he was a ruler. If they fought, it wouldn't benefit either of them.
However, Ye Zichen knew full well that although he was a ruler, he'd only just entered.
Great Sage …
It was an Overlord Tier.
Of course, Ye Zichen didn't want to cause trouble. He had an important purpose for coming here, so there was no need for him to seek unnecessary trouble.
Purple Jade City Lord Mansion.
It sounded like a deterrent.
Ye Zichen retracted his aura. When the middle-aged man sensed this, he let out a long sigh of relief. Their thoughts were the same as Ye Zichen's: they didn't want to cause trouble either …. They were here to escort the bride.
"I also think this is a misunderstanding, but your young master brought up the issue of face, so I decided to pay attention to my own face as well."
"Our young master is inexperienced, so please …." "Don't say that," interrupted Ye Zichen coldly. "You should be thanking me. Escorting the bride is a joyous occasion, but just now, your young master nearly ruined your joyous occasion. I only didn't cause your scarlet horse to bleed, out of respect for you.
Understand? "
"I understand." The middle-aged man nodded.
"Since you all think this is a misunderstanding, let's drop the matter. Don't delay your wedding."
With that, Ye Zichen put his silver sword away, then walked back to the restaurant with the Great Sage without so much as a backward glance.
The middle-aged man smiled as he watched them leave, then sighed and glanced at the troublemaker. He shook his head and called for the procession to continue onward.
"Sirs, you're back!"
When they returned to the restaurant, they saw a waiter standing by the door. When he saw Ye Zichen and the Great Sage return, the waiter beamed with delight and greeted them warmly.
"Are you worried we'd run off without paying?" laughed Ye Zichen. "We're not that kind of people."
"Look at what you're saying. How could I possibly think that?" The waiter beamed. "Given your temperament, you're definitely not that kind of person. Even if you don't return, it's just that the procession missed you and you forgot to pay the bill." "You're quite good at talking.
Then why were you waiting at the door? "asked Ye Zichen.
"I'm just worried about the two of you. That was someone from Violet Yan City's city lord's mansion. I was truly afraid that the two of you would have a conflict with them. That's why I've been waiting at the entrance," said the waiter.
The waiter's words were flawless. No one could find fault with them.
Ye Zichen returned to his table, sat down, and turned to the waiter.
"Just now, you said they were from Purple Jade City's city lord's manor. You know them too?"
"How could I not? Purple Jade City is our neighboring city. Quite a few of the House of Rose's customers come from there," said the waiter. "Purple Jade City is one of the sixteen major cities in the Northern Kingdom. Forget me, even if you asked anyone on the street, they'd probably know about the city lord's manor."
"And here I thought you were going to say that Purple Jade City wanted to form a marriage alliance with your city. That's when you'd find out," laughed Ye Zichen.
"Our city isn't that lucky," said the waiter.
"Isn't it a marriage alliance with your city?" Ye Zichen arched his brows. "Then do you know who they're marrying? They made such a big show, and it seems they're in a hurry."
"Of course I know. A marriage alliance with Purple Jade City's city lord is a big deal," said the waiter.
"Tell me."
Ye Zichen had nothing better to do, and he'd just caused a ruckus with Purple Jade City's people. He was willing to learn more about this marriage alliance. Who knew, he might even learn something unexpected.
"Purple Jade City wants to form a marriage alliance with Blue Wave City's Zi Family?"
"Who? Say that again!?"
The Great Sage slammed the table fiercely, causing everyone in the restaurant to be shocked. However, when they saw that it was the Great Sage, they didn't dare say anything.
The waiter was stunned into silence. After a long while, he gulped and said, "Blue Wave City's Zi Family?
This is a major event in the Northern Kingdom. The son of Purple Jade City's city lord is marrying Zixia of Blue Wave City's Zi Family in two days. This ….. "
