Chapter 1149
Chapter 1149 Finally Admitting Defeat?
The King of Zhenyuan's estate had always been famous for being overbearing in the Royal City of the Guardians . Even though the King currently was indeed a figure of core importance and held great power, he had offended many people over the years . Ordinarily, his enemies were afraid to speak out, but all of them felt incredibly at ease when they heard that such an incident had happened to one of his people .
Naturally, his nemeses were more than happy to spread the news around .
Wei Heng was one of the people who was in charge of managing external affairs of the King's estate . It was said that he was one of the most handy and trusted managers of the King's favorite daughter, and no one could restrain his arrogance and pushiness in the Royal City . He had been beaten up by a mysterious man so badly that only his head was left, and rumor had it that he needed the help of a female official from the King of Zhenyuan's estate to regenerate his body . This incident was a huge blow and challenge to the fame and reputation of the King of Zhenyuan's estate . There was a saying in Mandarin that warned one to be wary of a dog's master when one wanted to beat it . Wei Heng behaved like a rabid dog of the King's estate everyday, and no one dared to offend him on account of the influential King of Zhenyuan . He had finally received the retribution he deserved .
The incident was the most interesting subject matter for conversations during this edition of the Wanyi Bazaar Festival to many nobles in the city .
"I don't care who he is . He has to pay the price of beating a manager of my estate . If he knows what's good for him, he'll come forth to surrender himself quickly . Perhaps I would let his family and close ones off then . . . "
The lord of the estate released his statement in the night .
The iron-clad guards of the King had also began searching the entire city, each of them holding onto a jade scroll containing a portrait of the murderer . It looked as though they would soon start digging the ground to uncover the hiding place of the man, and the situation was extremely tense . Armoured cavalry charged along every street, and many people could hear commotions outside throughout the entire night .
Even so, they had no findings when day broke again .
After all, the Royal City of the Guardians was too large . If someone—a true expert—wanted to conceal himself, trying to find him would be like searching for water in the ocean . Most importantly, no one knew about the man's background, and there weren't much leads for the guards to follow .
It placed the estate of the King of Zhenyuan on the defensive .
Ye Qingyu stretched lazily and carefree at dawn . He stood before the window of the resting station and surveyed the streets .
Central City gradually became more vibrant as the sun rose .
Even though the Wanyi Bazaar Festival was already over, the after effects were still evident . The Dark Ones, who possessed a low social status, had already retreated from Central City, while the nobles that came from other parts still remained behind . Everyone had their own agenda, and all kinds of scenes and emotions could be witnessed .
After teaching a lesson to the triangular-faced evil slave the day before, Ye Qingyu had returned to the relay station . He shut himself in his room and did not leave it .
He did not hide because he was afraid of the King of Zhenyuan . Rather, it was because he was spending time arranging the trinkets he had purchased during the Wanyi Bazaar Festival around his room . He wanted to relax completely; when one reached his level of cultivation, one could no longer rely on hard training to improve . One could only wait for the right opportunity to strike .
Furthermore, his interest in the Earth's civilization had never diminished . As such, he drew out the neutron hard risk to view some information .
All this while, Ye Qingyu felt that the scope of Earth's civilization would be greatly beneficial as he progressed on the path of martial arts . How they could make use of the knowledge, however, was another question .
When he met with something he could not understand, he would take the initiative to contact [The Beginning] from the communications ark . It had given Ye Qingyu a communication device before they parted ways, so that they could keep in contact . The device was amazing . Even though Ye Qingyu could not figure out the core function of the trinket, he felt that the effects it brought about were very good . He could see who he was communicating with, as if he were staring in a reflection pool . It did not give off any energy waves, and as such, it could never be discovered by experts in formation magic or martial arts .
In reality, the relationship between Ye Qingyu and [The Beginning] was never broken .
"The makeover of Luoshen Ridge is already progressing smoothly . The universe-level optical brain of [The Beginning] is really powerful . It can be classified as a peerless genius in terms of project planning . "
Ye Qingyu was deeply moved .
During breakfast, Linghu Buxiu arrived at the relay station with a strange expression on his face .
The fellow dragged Ye Qingyu into the room mysteriously before shutting the doors and windows, then setting up a barrier . He took measure of Ye Qingyu with a strange gaze and said, "Brother Zhang Longcheng, was the ferocious stranger who beat Wei Heng up savagely yesterday . . . "
Ye Qingyu nodded and replied, "Yes, it was me . "
"Ah? It really was you?" Linghu Buxiu was merely guessing, but upon hearing Ye Qingyu admitting readily, he could not help but draw in a cold breath of air . "Brother Zhang Longcheng, you're really . . . really fearsome . I'm convinced . "
Ye Qingyu smiled gently and replied, "Indeed, I was too rash when I handled the matter . The situation was really infuriating though . How could there have been such an arrogant and impudent vile slave in the Royal City? He was really asking for it . . . "
At first, Ye Qingyu had acted like a brash and bold but unastute character in front of Nie Tiankong, especially during the Battle of the Demon Stone Forest . He believed that he had left a strong impression on Nie Tiankong, and that the lattter would not have suspected anything upon hearing this .
Linghu Buxiu was a little speechless but also somewhat emotional at the same time . He patted Ye Qingyu on his shoulder . "Brother Zhang Longcheng, you're really full of passion . I'm no match for you . The current state of the Royal City . . . sigh, let's not go there . When I first came here, I was as passionate and fearless as you . Now . . . sigh, if it wasn't for Lord Nie Tiankong taking me in, I would have long turned to dust . "
Ye Qingyu purposely replied, "Right, this incident would not cause too much trouble for Lord Nie Tiankong, would it? Why not do it like this: I'll be the sole person responsible for the entire incident . I wouldn't want to implicate Lord Nie Tiankong and you in this matter, brother . "
