"Could it be that the Lingdong region has its own base?"

"Doesn't that mean that the four major families also have their own trump cards? Why didn't they even use them when the Yao family was facing a life-or-death crisis?"

Long Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

During the battle with the Wang family that day, if Tang Xingyuan had not taken action in time, the three major families would probably not have had a good life.

There will be countless casualties that day!

It has come to this critical moment, are they still holding back their cards?

Or...

What other concerns do they have!

Tang Xingyuan, standing by, said with a smile, "The foundations of the four great families are already laid out before you. However, even though the four great families control the entire Lingdong region, this does not mean that they can control everything in Lingdong."

"There are still many secrets in Lingdong, just like in any other region. It's just that you don't know them."

"When you become strong enough, everything will become clear to you. There's no need for me to explain anything more."

"So, just be at ease. He probably just wants to drink with you, or maybe..."

Tang Xingyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he smiled meaningfully at Long Yi, then said slowly: "They are worried that you will be snatched away by someone else, so they want to make you their son-in-law as soon as possible!"

Long Yi's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly raised his glass to break the awkward situation.

Everyone present also started laughing.

I didn’t expect that being excellent is also wrong!

Only Zhao Bingqing, who was standing aside, still had a cold expression on her face. She didn't speak for a long time and didn't mingle with the others. No one knew what she was thinking.

After eating and drinking, Long Yi was in good spirits because he had slept all day. He did not return to the room, but went out of the hotel.

This was his first time in Binzhou City, so naturally he wanted to appreciate the scenery here.

Only Zhao Bingqing was by his side.

"You seem to be in a good mood as soon as you hear someone wants to marry you."

"It seems that you have developed some feelings for Yao Yun'er, right?"

"Or perhaps, you've already fallen in love with Yaoyue?"

Walking on the bluestone road, Zhao Bingqing, who was standing next to Long Yi, spoke slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

All men are the same. They can't walk when they see a woman, especially a beautiful woman.

"How is that possible?"

"If I really wanted to be their ideal husband, I wouldn't have rejected Uncle Lingyun and Yaoyue's kindness."

Naturally, Long Yi did not tell anyone about the gambling agreement between him and Yao Yue.

He is not a fool and can feel Zhao Bingqing's feelings for him, but Long Yi does not have the mind to think about it now.

He had so many new enemies. He hadn't dealt with the Ascetic Venerable before, and this time, there was another one that was even more powerful. If he stood still, he would probably be crushed by others in the end, and the spiritual energy he had invested would be wasted...

"That's all your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"No matter what you choose, it won't interfere with my life."

"But I have to thank you very much this time. If it weren't for your help, I would naturally not have the opportunity to qualify for the spiritual energy initiation."

Zhao Bingqing opened her mouth slowly and added two more sentences.

This time, she was just a foil. Although Long Yi said a lot of righteous words, she knew in her heart that under such circumstances, even if she did not protect Long Yi, Long Yi must have his own base and would never be forced into a desperate situation by Xia Yan and others.

She was just going along with the flow, but in the end, she got such a huge advantage for nothing...

If Long Yi could receive the complete spiritual energy infusion, his strength would be greatly improved, and he would probably be completely different from before!

Even if he fights against the guardians of the shrine, he can still remain invincible.

"Why are there so many people over there?"

When Long Yi moved, he pointed to a bridge not far away and spoke.

Zhao Bingqing also looked in the direction of his finger. Indeed, the moon was already bright in the sky and there were not many pedestrians on the road. However, there were many people gathered by the river, and from time to time, there were bursts of crying.

"He is the thief!"

"That's right. This guy kept saying no, but my wallet was found on him. How do you explain that?"

"I guess he must be scared because we are so many in number, right?"

"Why are you wasting so much time talking to him? Just break his hands and throw him into the river to teach him a lesson!"

"Otherwise, this kind of person will definitely continue to steal things in the future!"

“…”

Since ancient times, thieves have been punished by everyone. It was so in the past and it is still so now.

Passersby around also made accusations.

"He's still so young and doesn't learn his lesson. He looks like he's only fourteen or fifteen, and he's actually here imitating others and stealing things?"

"If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. I guess his parents are not good people either. Even if they are reduced to beggars, the nature of a thief is in their genes!"

"That's right, this kind of person should be taught a lesson. He must learn his lesson!"

“…”

People were saying all sorts of things, all blaming the kid who was pinned to the ground.

Then, one of the men picked up a stone and, with the help of his companions, pressed the boy to the ground, making his hands and feet unable to move.

The man grinned at the boy, but his smile was rather sinister.

The next second, he was seen raising the stone in his hand high up, as if he was about to drop it!

If this had hit the boy's wrist, his hand would probably have been completely broken!

However, the boy's eyes remained firm. Facing this situation, his face remained fearless. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not a thief! I didn't steal anything. You guys secretly stuffed the wallet into my pocket. Don't think I don't know!"

"You clearly just want to bully people!"

"I really have no one to rely on. It's my bad luck to meet you today. If you really have the ability, then just kill me. Otherwise, I will definitely seek revenge on you in the future and will never let you off easily!"

The boy spoke with gritted teeth, his eyes like swords. If looks could kill, everyone present would have died eight hundred times over!

"You stinky boy, you still dare to be so stubborn?"

The man's heart turned cold, and the stone in his hand suddenly fell!

"Then I will beat you to death today!"
