Chapter 104: Debt Collection
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow and flicked Qing Li's little head with her finger: "You little bird that has just hatched from the egg, how could you understand human emotions?"
"Hmm... I just feel like the way he looks at you, Master, is a little different." Qingli covered her head, which had been flicked, with her wings, feeling wronged.
Ye Fei sat on the bench in silence for a while, then stood up and went back to her room.
...
Su Haochen hadn't slept all night and arrived at the academy with dark circles under his eyes.
He tried everything he could, searching every nook and cranny of his chest all night, and only managed to find 100,000 gold coins. This was his last little stash of gold...
Su Haochen absolutely hated Ye Fei.
He had already made up his mind that this 100,000 was compensation, and that was all he could offer. He wondered if Ye Feiai wanted it or not.
Su Haochen didn't plan to go find Ye Fei early in the morning. Just as he was about to return to the classroom, a tall figure in a black robe walked towards him.
When Su Haochen saw the face of the newcomer, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Seeing him, Su Haochen couldn't help but recall the day he made his engagement with Ye Ning—he stared at this young man for a few seconds, and his eyes were inexplicably stung!
"What...what do you want?" Su Haochen tried to calm the trembling in his voice.
Li Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his melodious voice as cold as ice, utterly unapproachable: "I've come to ask you for 500,000 gold coins on behalf of Ye Fei."
Su Haochen found these words extremely grating and couldn't help but retort sharply, "Who is Ye Fei to you? Why are you here on her behalf? This is between her and me! It has nothing to do with you, an outsider!"
His voice was so shrill that it attracted the attention of the students around him who were on their way to class.
The students stood not far away, discussing Li Yuan and Su Haochen with various opinions.
"That one seems to be... the Seventh Elder's personal disciple! I think his name is... what was it again?"
"I know! His name is Li! He's so handsome, even more handsome than Su Haochen!"
"My God, when they stand together, their presence is so much stronger than Su Haochen's!"
"Su Haochen is practically a little brother now..."
"Didn't Ye Fei ask Su Haochen to return 500,000 gold coins last time? Do you think Su Haochen can come up with 500,000?"
"Tsk, the Su family is no longer one of the eight great families it used to be. Let alone 500,000, they might not even be able to come up with 50,000!"
...
Li Yuan coldly watched Su Haochen's exasperated appearance. After a brief silence, he slightly raised his lips, a half-smile on his face: "She was injured while training in the Forest of Fireflies and is currently recuperating in her dormitory. Since she can't come to see you, I'll come instead."
"As for the relationship between her and me..."
Li Yuan stepped forward, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes: "Now I am the person closest to her. You and she have long since broken off your engagement. Therefore, you are the one who has the least right to ask questions... an outsider."
Su Haochen was so stimulated by the oppressive feeling emanating from him that he staggered backward. He finally managed to stand up, gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Li Yuan. His handsome face was full of ferocity, and he no longer had the aloof and noble demeanor he used to have.
"Let's get back to the point." Li Yuan slowly distanced himself from him, his posture exuding an indescribable elegance: "Five hundred thousand, you should hand it over now."
Su Haochen snorted coldly, took out a money pouch from his storage ring, and threw it on the ground in front of him: "I can't come up with 500,000! Here's 100,000 gold coins. Take it or leave it, it's up to you!"
In that instant, a surge of spiritual energy burst forth from Li Yuan's body, and the air seemed to freeze in place.
An invisible hand gripped Su Haochen's neck tightly, almost suffocating him!
"If she says 500,000, then it's 500,000."
"You think I'm easy to fool just because she's not here, is that it?"
A glint of purple light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes as dark spiritual energy slowly condensed in the palm behind his back.
