Before Yun Wei could utter a sound, Isaac's sword had already been thrust forward.
The sharp blade hovered just above Huo Miaodan's fingernail; any closer, even a hair's breadth away, and it would have chopped off her index finger.
The tall knight stood before Yun Wei, expressionless as he watched the servants who were about to swarm him. The stone pavement beneath his feet slowly cracked with a teeth-grinding tremor, like ripples spreading outwards, extending all the way to Huo Miaodan.
Upon seeing this, the arrogant servants who had been so domineering immediately lost their arrogance. The smarter ones realized what was happening and silently retreated further back.
To be able to counter a level four spell with a level two spell, one must be at least a level five mage...
As for anything beyond that, they had never seen it and dared not even think about it.
Their patriarch has probably met his match this time.
Even the old man who was controlling the Fire Dragon spell silently stopped, interrupting the output of the Fire Dragon spell, and the four fire dragons immediately dimmed in a state of exhaustion.
Yun Wei merely flicked his fingertips, and the water chains that had soaked the entire square vanished.
He took in everyone's expressions and was speechless once again.
So how did Huo Miaodan, who was even less adept at judging situations than the servants in her household, manage to become the head of the family?
Is it all due to those self-righteous and deceitful tricks?
The situation wasn't urgent, and Yun Wei was already quite relaxed.
At this moment, looking at his beloved's cool little wolf tail tied behind her head, he suddenly felt a tickle in his heart and subtly curled the corners of his lips.
Human life is too boring. His Isa is much more interesting. He's handsome, cool, and I never get tired of watching him. He's so majestic!
However, Yun Wei's filter is a bit too heavy. In reality, Huo Miaodan has always been shrewd when it comes to matters concerning her own interests.
The pain from his fingernail brought the pampered Huo family patriarch back to his senses. The other party was utterly reckless and might actually chop his finger off.
Bah! These barbarians from beyond the borders are truly the most vulgar of all!
Although she was cursing inwardly, Huo Miaodan wisely lowered her hand.
Even so, he still said with an unfriendly expression, "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to bully others by relying on his power. Those eight things are all monsters that have risen from the dead. If they are not eliminated today, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."
While subtly seizing the moral high ground, he kept giving Xie Mulang meaningful glances, as if to say:
You, Xie Mulang, brought Bili here. Now it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Why don't you hurry up and help persuade him?
To his surprise, the Xie family lad, who usually spoke little but did much, ignored his words and stood with his sword in hand, seemingly lost in thought.
This made him so angry that he scratched his head in frustration, but he was helpless.
Two contemptuous sneers suddenly rang out from the crowd. Huo Miaodan looked up angrily and saw that it was the maid from the Nangong family and the boy from the Qin family whispering and laughing happily.
These two are unruly and always love to talk back to him; they're even happier to see him make a fool of himself now.
Huo Miaodan's face immediately turned cold, but she wisely looked away, only to add another mark against the two families in her heart.
Seeing that the other party was about to start arguing again, Yun Wei patted Isaac's arm, signaling him to put away his sword, but stepped forward and said loudly, "How rare! In the middle of the night, I finally hear you say something sensible."
That's just how Yun Wei is; once you piss him off, don't expect to hear a single good word from him.
Huo Miaodan, who had finally managed to calm down, almost lost control again. He stammered "you" for a long time, but couldn't utter a single fart.
Yun Wei didn't even spare him a glance; he deliberately raised his voice, intending to speak to others.
He continued, "But these eight vengeful corpses all died unjustly, unable to rest in peace in the afterlife. They are not monsters who have risen from the dead, but rather, like all of you here, people of Bili, born and raised here. If their injustices are redressed, they will naturally be eliminated—"
"Nonsense! You brat, don't push your luck!" Before Yun Wei could finish speaking, Huo Miaodan roared like a madman, "Guards! Burn them all! I'll reward you handsomely!"
Yun Wei twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. The Huo family patriarch is so alarmed, he must have done a lot of bad things. No wonder he was so flustered when he saw Huo Miaoyuan."
Yun Wei specifically mentioned Huo Miaoyuan, the elder brother of the Huo family patriarch. His resentment was so strong that he probably had a blood feud with Huo Miaodan, and even the Abyss Apostles were helpless against him.
Upon hearing those three seemingly taboo words, the entire square fell into an eerie silence.
Huo Miaodan's outburst on stage was too sudden, and Yun Wei's forbidden spell caused an even bigger commotion. The spectators in the stands were not clear about what had happened on stage.
They thought that Huo Miaodan had drawn her sword and left because she had noticed the vengeful spirit and wanted to rid the people of this scourge.
When they heard Yun Wei's few words, they quietly looked at the horrifying corpse and suddenly realized that even though the corpse's face was dirty, they could still see a resemblance to Huo Mingchan between its eyebrows.
Clearly, just as the outspoken and beautiful young man said, the resentful corpse with its eyes wide open in death was none other than the former eldest son of the Huo family and the original candidate for the head of the Huo family.
Huo Miaoyuan, who died young, passing away suddenly shortly after his coming-of-age ceremony.
But judging from what that young master said...
Huo Miaoyuan's death back then seems to have been more complicated than it appears.
The way everyone looked at Huo Miaodan suddenly became subtle.
Unlike at noon, when they would just watch the gossip and rumors with amusement, once it involved a murder case, it seemed that even if they remained indifferent, a heavy boulder would weigh on their hearts.
Huo Miaodan, of course, also sensed what everyone was thinking, and at this moment she became even more hysterical, immediately barking wildly: "Who are you? Don't you dare to spout nonsense and mislead the public!"
He wanted to point at Yun Wei, but he gave in to Isaac's icy gaze. Only the veins on his neck and forehead bulged, as if shouting loud enough would give him the upper hand and the confidence to back up his argument.
Yun Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Why is it that both the Abyss Apostles and the Huo family patriarch want to know his name?
"Well, since that's the case, let's reintroduce ourselves then—"
Yun Wei spoke slowly and deliberately, each word deliberate and resonant:
"My name is Yun Wei."
"He is a necromancer archmage."
"He was also a special envoy sent to Bethlehem by the Grand Duke and the Alchemy City Sid Laboratory."
To be fair, this was the most embarrassing self-introduction he had ever given, not only in front of so many people, but also because of the awkwardness of trying to look cool.
But no matter what, all he wanted now was to get this absurd and chaotic day over as quickly as possible.
Then he hugged his knight tightly and they slept in together.
