In the depths of his heart, Shang Tianque was thinking, yet his face was adorned with a smile. “Causing me displeasure and delaying my journey to report in—ten thousand spirit stones? How could that be enough?” he said.
“At least one hundred thousand spirit stones. If a single stone is missing, neither of these two will leave here alive!” he declared.
Upon hearing this, Qing Chengtian’s expression changed in an instant.
One hundred thousand spirit stones!
It was an exorbitant sum.
Shang Tianque was being outrageously unreasonable.
Qing Chengtian quickly turned to Ye Wushuang, his voice urgent. “Young Master Ye, it was them who started this trouble. We had already parked our carriage and were preparing to report in. Their carriage was too large and damaged ours. Not only did they refuse to compensate us, but they also insulted us and even shouted at us to go away.”
Upon hearing this, Shang Tianque sneered. “Young man, your friend seems willing to help you, but you don’t seem to appreciate it. Do you think one hundred thousand spirit stones is too little?”
“You…” Qing Chengtian was left speechless.
At that moment, Ye Wushuang gestured to Qing Chengtian to calm down. He then stepped forward, facing Shang Tianque with a smile. “On behalf of my friend, I apologize to you, Young Master Shang. One hundred thousand spirit stones, I will pay it!”
With that, Ye Wushuang took out a promissory note worth one hundred thousand spirit stones and said with a smile, “This is a note from Qingyun Pavilion, worth one hundred thousand spirit stones. Take a look.”
Shang Tianque glanced at the note and looked at Ye Wushuang with satisfaction. He smiled, then turned to Qing Chengtian and sneered, “Young man, your friend is much more sensible than you!”
With that, Shang Tianque kicked Qing Zhonghao away with a single foot.
“Father!” Qing Chengtian quickly helped his father up, his voice filled with concern. “Father, are you alright?”
At that moment, Shang Tianque sneered again and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Just then, Ye Wushuang suddenly spoke up.
Shang Tianque and his group stopped and turned to look at Ye Wushuang.
“What? Do you think that paying me one hundred thousand spirit stones is not enough, and you want to give me more?” Shang Tianque asked, puzzled.
“Are you just going to leave like that?”
Hearing Ye Wushuang’s words, Shang Tianque was filled with curiosity.
What did this young man want to do next?
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Earlier, I compensated you one hundred thousand spirit stones because they moved their carriage and delayed your carriage from stopping.”
“But this matter is not over yet!”
The onlookers around were also quite curious.
Ye Wushuang continued, “I have compensated you with spirit stones, but… you must return the favor for the violence you inflicted!”
“Lord Qing’s hand is broken, and Qing Chengtian was punched and kicked by you. You must make amends for this before you leave!”
As Ye Wushuang’s words fell, the crowd around him looked at the young man in white with astonishment.
Was he mad?
That was the young master of the Shang clan!
After compensating with spirit stones, it would have been wise to let the matter rest, but he actually wanted to… seek justice?
Qing Zhonghao and Qing Chengtian, father and son, also looked stunned.
The city lord, Wang Hongsheng, inwardly groaned in dismay.
This Ye Wushuang was clearly not someone who would back down easily.
Earlier, when Ye Wushuang had calmly compensated with one hundred thousand spirit stones, he had already sensed something amiss.
“Are you saying… that since I hit them, they should hit me back?” Shang Tianque looked at Ye Wushuang in astonishment.
Ye Wushuang smiled indifferently. “Alternatively, I could do the hitting myself!”
“Hahahahaha…”
However, as soon as Ye Wushuang’s words fell, Shang Tianque burst into laughter, and the other young men from the Shang clan could not help but laugh as well.
Shang Tianque even dramatically clutched his stomach, looking around and laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face. “Did you hear that? This young man… I thought he was sensible, but it turns out he’s just as foolish. I’m laughing so hard I could die… hahaha…”
“Young man, are you looking for death?” Shang Tianque, still laughing, looked at Ye Wushuang and said, “You really are hilarious…”
Yet Ye Wushuang remained indifferent. “I prefer to reason things out. If reason fails, then I will resort to force.”
With those words, Ye Wushuang took a step forward and charged straight toward Shang Tianque
