After all, he was a duke, so Yun Luo and his companions were not treated with any neglect. As soon as they got off the car, someone came straight to greet them.
Yun Luo followed behind Duke Oren, and Hill walked beside him, looking a little absent-minded.
Yun Luo only glanced at him once and then looked away.
As they walked into the hall, they attracted many people's attention.
This is understandable. What happened in the Oren family during this period can be said to have become a topic of conversation for many people. The quarrel between brothers a few months ago was already worthy of discussion. Now the eldest son who was sent away has been brought back, not to mention that there are various signs that indicate that there was another hidden story behind the original incident.
"Is this the eldest son of Duke Oren?"
"Isn't that right? Didn't Duke Oren say before that he wanted to bring his eldest son Yunluo out?"
"No matter how you look at it, this eldest son is no worse than the youngest, right? Why did Duke Oren decide to give up on this son before?"
"How can we guess what these nobles are thinking?"
"It's said that Yun Luo is the boss behind Lingsheng Building. Is that true?"
"It has to be true. If it weren't, someone would have come out to refute it long ago, especially that person who wanted to send the person away in the first place. I don't believe him when he says he didn't contribute."
"Indeed, that lady hasn't been active lately. Does anyone know what's going on?"
Whispers came from all directions. Out of concern for Duke Oren himself, these people did not dare to discuss loudly, but private discussions were inevitable.
Duke Oren seemed to really want to introduce his son Yunluo to everyone. Whenever he met an acquaintance, he would introduce Yunluo to others in an honored tone.
It just made Hill very angry.
In the past, it was obviously me who received such treatment, and I should have been the one standing in the crowd and attracting the most attention, but now, he is just a foil, and a foil for the person I dislike the most.
Hill was so angry, but he couldn't let it out. He had to maintain a decent smile on his face, and he couldn't stand it for a few minutes.
After meeting with Duke Oren's old friend again, Hill called Duke Oren and said, "Father, I feel a little unwell. Can I go to the side and rest for a while?"
Duke Oren saw that Hill was indeed pale and didn't look like he was lying, so he nodded and said, "Okay, take your brother to rest aside. It's bound to be restrained if he follows me."
"Brother, do you want to go with me?" Hill turned to look at Yun Luo.
"Okay." Yun Luo nodded.
Hill was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Then come with me, brother."
The two men said goodbye to Duke Oren and walked towards the rest area.
"I thought you wouldn't come with me." Hill said as he walked.
Hill had never expected that Yun Luo would leave with him. He left because he couldn't stand that kind of atmosphere. Yun Luo was the center of everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes were on Yun Luo. As for himself, he got nothing. He was like a decoration in the hall, not worth a second glance from others.
But Yunluo was different. Every time he met someone, Duke Oren would introduce Yunluo to the other person, and the other person would also look at Yunluo with admiration out of respect.
Before today, these gazes clearly belonged to him. Hill couldn't stand such a gap, so he chose to escape. What about Yun Luo? Why did he want to leave with him?
Yun Luo ignored him and went straight to the sofa in the corner and sat down.
For some reason, Hill didn't leave. Instead, he followed me and said, "You haven't told me yet. Why do you want to leave with me?"
"Because it's annoying," Yun Luo sat down. "Everyone says one thing in public and another in private. What's the point?"
Where there are people, there will be right and wrong. Even if you hide in a corner, as long as the protagonist is there, trouble will still come to you.
The peace didn't last long before noisy sounds came from far away.
Yun Luo leaned on the sofa with his eyes half closed, and only opened his eyes when someone called his name.
"Are you Yunluo?"
"It's me."
The person opposite was standing, and Yun Luo was sitting. For some reason, this gave the visitor a feeling of needing to look up.
He shook his head to get rid of this thought, and his momentum inexplicably dropped: "You have been bullying Hill?"
Yun Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did he tell you that?"
"Hill naturally won't complain to us, he will only protect you!" Yun Luo's words aroused the anger of the visitor. His eyebrows raised high, and the momentum that had just subsided instantly rose to a peak.
Yun Luo looked around. This place was remote enough. Apart from them, no outsiders came here. It was really a good place to handle private matters.
Hill was sitting not far from Yunluo. When Yunluo looked at him, he hesitated for a moment and turned his head to the other side.
Yun Luo smiled. How could he not understand now that the protagonist was waiting for him here. He was deliberately brought to a remote corner, away from the crowd, so that no one else would know what happened here.
Even if they knew, by the time they rushed over, what was supposed to happen would have already happened. Everyone here is Hill's people, so they will have no right to decide what to do.
Yun Luo looked at the people standing in front of him. They were all females. The one in the lead had shiny golden hair. From the attitude of others towards him, it was not difficult to tell that she had an extraordinary life experience. He just didn't know what the protagonist had done that made these people take a big risk to seek justice for him at the banquet.
Ever since Yun Luo traveled through time and space with the original owner, the original plot has deviated, and now no one knows where it has deviated to. Yun Luo looked at the people standing in front of him with angry faces, and couldn't guess what they were planning to do at the banquet.
"Actually, I didn't plan to do anything, brother," Xi Er suddenly stood up and walked around behind Yun Luo, "but you've already given me this opportunity. If I really don't do anything, wouldn't that be a waste of the opportunity you offered me?"
Hill suddenly tore off his disguise. He called in people he could trust. He didn't want to act anymore. Facing Yun Luo's face, he just wanted to tear it apart and destroy it instead of saying nice words to it.
He had been patient long enough. His mother asked him to be patient until the plan succeeded, but he didn't want to wait any longer. Every minute and every second of this day was torture. Seeing Yun Luo surpass him in everything and seeing Yun Luo become the focus of everyone was more painful than killing him.
"Brother, what can I say to you? If you just follow Father obediently, there's nothing I can do. How does it feel to be treated seriously by Father? How does it feel to be the focus of everyone's attention?"
"I think..." Yun Luo paused and continued, "Not very good."
"What's the point of taking your anger out on me? I haven't done anything since returning to Emperor Star. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your father. You care about these things, but I don't..."
"Shut up!" It happened again! It happened again! What Hill couldn't stand the most was Yun Luo's attitude. He treasured something so much, but Yun Luo threw it away like a piece of trash. How could he... How could he!
"If you don't care, then why did you come back? You did everything you could to let the whole empire know that you opened Lingsheng Tower. Wasn't it just so that your father could take you back? Now that your goal has been achieved, who are you pretending to be indifferent to?"
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Hill vented all the anger that had accumulated over the days. He said whatever he was thinking, and after saying it, he immediately felt a lot better.
He looked at Yun Luo, hoping to see the anger and shame on his face after his purpose was exposed, but unfortunately the facts were destined to disappoint him. The expression on Yun Luo's face did not change at all because of his words. He looked at him as if he was looking at a jumping clown.
Something in Hill's heart suddenly broke. He rushed forward regardless of anything, wanting to grab Yun Luo's collar, wanting to question him loudly, wanting to vent all the frustration and resentment he had suffered during this period of time.
However, Yun Luo would not give him this opportunity. Before Hill's hand could get close, it was stopped in mid-air.
For a moment, the air around seemed to become quiet.
The person who wanted to seek justice for Hill had no idea why things had developed to this point. He stood there in a daze. When he came to his senses and was about to step forward, Yun Luo's gaze froze him in place.
Yun Luo's hand was loosely held on Hill's wrist. It didn't seem like he used much strength, but Hill couldn't break free no matter what.
Hill's face turned red, but he still couldn't break free. He turned around and yelled at the people behind him, "What are you still doing standing there?!"
Everyone who was intimidated by Yun Luo's look suddenly woke up and hurried forward.
Before they could get close, Yun Luo let go of his hand.
At this time, Hill was trying hard to break free from Yun Luo's hand, but he was not paying attention and was hit back by his own strength and fell backwards.
At this time, the others were still some distance away from the two of them, and it was definitely too late for them to catch Hill.
Hill closed his eyes and prepared to fall to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, someone suddenly rushed over from the side and caught Hill who was about to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
A low and pleasant voice echoed in the silent space.
Hill leaned in the man's arms, still in shock, her face pale, tears about to fall from the corners of her eyes, making her look very adorable.
At least the heartstrings of the person holding him were touched.
Carefully helping the man to stand, the man glanced around and asked with suppressed anger, "What happened?"
[Host, this person is the head of the Wei family, the scumbag who abandoned his wife and children for the protagonist.]
The Wei family is a rising star family in the Imperial Star. The head of the Wei family has single-handedly developed the Wei family into a leading large-scale business family in the empire. A few years later, it replaced the Yun family and became the largest business family in the empire by swallowing up the Yun family's industries.
007 has been re-studying the original plot these past few days, and every time he sees a scumbag, he gets angry: [Host, you don't know how scumbag the Wei family head is in the original plot. He ignored his pregnant wife and insisted on being with the protagonist. In order to please the protagonist, he even forced his pregnant wife to death, resulting in two deaths...]
Yun Luo listened to 007's chatter in his mind, looked at the man who held Hill in his arms and whispered comfort, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The original plot said that the protagonist was completely unaware of these things, but Yun Luo didn't believe it.
During this period of stalemate, more and more people heard the noise and gathered around. Mrs. Wei followed the crowd and was slightly stunned when she saw the young man who was almost in her arms.
But he quickly adjusted his expression and asked, "What happened? Who is this?"
Hearing his voice, the head of the Wei family paused in comforting the young man in his arms and slowly let him go.
He straightened his clothes and looked at Yun Luo: "Tell me, what happened just now?"
At the same time, the oppression from the high-level orcs went straight towards Yun Luo.
