In addition to the head of the Wei family, Wei Hongyun is also a rare eighth-level orc. When his powerful pressure was poured out, many people around him changed their expressions.
Even though his pressure was directed only at Yun Luo, the people around him were close to him, and Wei Hongyun was not like Yan Su who could compress the range of pressure to the extreme, so many people were still affected.
Except for those who were there from the beginning, no one else present knew what had happened and looked at others blankly. Wei Hongyun was the protagonist of today's banquet. Who had done what to make him so angry?
Looking at the young man who was being hugged and carefully comforted by Wei Hongyun, some people couldn't help but change their expressions.
Yun Luo has been staying at home for a while now, and Lingsheng Tower has also been relatively dormant. In addition, he has rarely appeared in front of the public since he came to Emperor Star, so not many people can recognize him at once.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was the one at the center of the storm.
The low-voiced conversation reached Yun Luo's ears without him having to listen carefully.
"Who is this person? What did he do?"
"It looks like he bullied someone at the banquet. Doesn't the Wei family master hate this kind of behavior the most?"
"That's why they say some people are so bold. They actually dared to do such a thing at the Wei family's banquet."
"I'm afraid he's going to be in trouble now."
"Who is that person that Patriarch Wei is protecting? He looks familiar."
"Isn't that Hill, the youngest son of Duke Oren? He's also a prominent figure these days."
"The Oren family? Didn't Duke Oren bring his eldest son, Yunluo, here today? The one being bullied is the Oren family's youngest son. So, the one across from him, couldn't it be... the Oren family's eldest son?"
"Impossible?"
"Then tell me who this person is?"
"I remember now, it's really Yun Luo. Do you remember the Lingsheng Building that was all the fuss on the Star Network a while ago? Yun Luo is the owner of Lingsheng Building. It is said that Duke Oren agreed to take his eldest son back because of Lingsheng Building."
"Lingshenglou? Speaking of Lingshenglou, my kid also likes the food there. He's been clamoring to go to Somir Star these days."
The topic had unknowingly strayed off track, but soon someone brought it back to the topic.
"Wasn't there a rumor before that Yun Luo was sent away because of something to do with those two people from the Duke's family? Now he's openly targeting Hill at the banquet. Could that be true?"
"What guess?" Someone didn't understand.
"As for the past, some people speculated that the things that happened before Yun Luo was sent away were all man-made, and the truth of the matter was not what we saw..."
Even though these people deliberately lowered their voices, they still couldn't prevent the sounds from reaching Wei Hongyun's ears. Hearing the discussions around him, he frowned.
He was originally discussing a new business deal with someone not far away, and chose this place because it was relatively quiet and not crowded. Not long into the discussion, he sensed a commotion coming from nearby. With his nature, he wouldn't have cared about these things, but this time, for some unknown reason, something in the dark pulled him over to take a look.
As soon as he got closer, he saw a fragile boy being pushed down. Without thinking, Wei Hongyun rushed forward to catch the man.
The moment he held the man in his arms, his empty heart was instantly filled. The boy exuded a comfortable aura. Seeing the boy trying to suppress his tears, Wei Hongyun was furious.
Why is such a wonderful person always envied by some despicable beings? Wei Hongyun didn't even have time to figure out the cause and effect before he directly attacked Yun Luo.
In his eyes, Hill was innocent in every way. If that was the case, then the one with the problem must be the one who pushed Hill. His eyes would not deceive him, and he believed what he saw.
Yun Luo looked at the man opposite him coldly. The people around him were more or less affected by the pressure of the eighth-level strong man, but he was in the middle of the storm and was not affected at all.
"I'm fine. It's not my brother's fault. I didn't stand firmly..." Seeing more and more people gathering around, Hill spoke with red eyes.
This is the attitude he adopts. Every time something happens, it happens like this. Yun Luo has seen no less than ten such scenes in the original owner's memory. Hill doesn't need to say anything more, as a lot of people will automatically understand the "truth" that he has suffered a great injustice and rush to help him solve his problems.
Who cares what the facts are? They only believe the "truth" they see. As for how much falsehood is mixed in the "truth" they know, how many people care?
Yun Luo narrowed his eyes. The scene before him had become almost commonplace in the original owner's past memories, and the ending was always the same. In the end, all the charges were placed on the original owner, and the real perpetrator became the victim.
The original owner endured the malice that he shouldn't have endured until he was finally exiled. The original owner thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect that after he left, these malices still did not let him go, following him like a shadow, like a giant net that could not be escaped, tightly entangled him.
Compared to the original owner, Yun Luo could feel the malice of the people around him more. Among these onlookers, some were simply there to watch the fun, while others harbored great malice towards him.
Yun Luo scanned the faces of these people one by one, matching those with malicious intentions with the people in his memory. Most of these people were the ones who had indiscriminately pinned non-existent charges on the original owners for Hill's sake.
Hearing Hill's words, Wei Hongyun felt heartbroken. In his eyes, Hill was beautiful, pure, and kind. He couldn't bear to see such a beautiful person being bullied, so he naturally wanted to seek justice for him.
But he also knew that in such a situation, if he, a male, openly attacked a female, he would definitely be criticized. He had just established his foothold on the Imperial Star and could not afford to make any mistakes in such a small matter.
Therefore, he just looked at Yun Luo without emotion and said coldly: "Apologize to him."
Apologize?
Yun Luo seemed to have heard a joke and almost laughed out loud. In fact, he did laugh.
His face was indeed beautiful, and even when he smiled sarcastically, it was still eye-catching.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Hongyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a subtle anger in his voice.
"What am I laughing at? I'm laughing at some people who don't even know what happened, yet they keep asking me to apologize. Why don't you ask the person next to you: does he dare to accept my apology?"
Yun Luo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at Hill nonchalantly. When his gaze met Hill's, he shrank back.
For some reason, Hill was a little afraid of Yun Luo now. Just like now, just being looked at by Yun Luo made him want to find a place to hide.
He didn't know why he suddenly became afraid of Yun Luo. Before Yun Luo was sent away, he only had disgust and malice towards this person. What made him happiest was to see this person being trampled under his feet, falling from a favored child of heaven into the dust, unable to get up again.
Things had originally gone according to his plan. He only needed to wait for the moment when the fruit finally ripened so that he could pick the most delicious fruit. However, an unexpected change occurred along the way, completely disrupting his plans. The man who was supposed to be disgraced made a comeback...
From then on, everything went off track.
Wei Hongyun looked at Yun Luo deeply, then turned to look at Xi Er, his eyes softening unconsciously. "Tell me what happened? If you were really bullied, I will seek justice for you. Don't be afraid."
Everyone could feel this kind of differential treatment. Many people had strange expressions on their faces. Mrs. Wei, who was standing in the crowd, turned even paler and retracted the foot she had stepped forward.
There is nothing more ironic than the fact that the father of the child in her belly is sincerely protecting a strange female and didn't even notice her presence here.
Her friends silently held her hands tightly. Mrs. Wei shook her head, indicating that she was fine, but she did not intend to get involved in the dispute.
Hearing Wei Hongyun's words, Hill just shook his head, refusing to say a word. What was he going to say? That Wei Hongyun had indeed misunderstood? That he was the one who started it, and Yun Luo was just defending himself?
No, he couldn't tell the truth, but he was afraid that Yun Luo would tell the truth regardless of the consequences. He was not afraid in the past because he knew that even if Yun Luo told it, others would not believe it, but this time it was different.
Hill lowered his head and secretly glanced at the people around him. Many people had already become suspicious. If Yunluo told the truth at this time, it would be very disadvantageous to him.
Yun Luo was looking at him. Hill could feel that Yun Luo's eyes were on him. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the arm of the man next to him, and begged softly:
"It really has nothing to do with my brother. It was my own carelessness. Please don't pursue it, okay?"
Wei Hongyun was able to develop the Wei family by his own efforts, so he was not a fool. Looking at the attitudes of the two people, he understood a little bit. Maybe there really was something hidden in this matter, and it was not what he saw on the surface.
Just at this time, Duke Oren heard the news and rushed over.
"Xier, Yunluo, what's going on?"
They'd only been apart for a short while, so how could such a thing happen? Duke Oren was furious, but he knew now wasn't the time to lose his temper. He suppressed his anger and decided to try to figure out a way to get over the matter.
Duke Oren did not intend to argue about who was right or wrong in such a situation. No matter which side was wrong, it would be the Oren family that would lose face in the end, although it had already lost most of the face it should have lost.
"Alright, it's just a small matter, so forget about making a fuss at home. This is someone else's party. What could be so worthy of you two brothers making a fuss here? Come with me."
Duke Oren's words indirectly proved Yun Luo and Hill's identities. Due to Duke Oren's identity, they couldn't say anything openly. They could only secretly regret that a good show was about to end before it even began.
Duke Oren obviously wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter, but Yun Luo was unwilling to let it go. Not only for himself, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to deflect some of the dirty water that Hill had thrown on the original owner.
Therefore, when Hill was slowly walking towards Duke Oren, Yun Luo stopped him halfway and said, "Wait, I think I need to explain today's events clearly, otherwise it might get out someday that I, as an older brother, bullied my younger brother in public without caring about my image. Hill, what do you think?"
