Novel Full 272 They Asked For It
Yang Lujia concluded his transaction with the young lady at the counter and quickly set off to visit the Lan Clan to the northwest part of the entire region. While in the association, he also took the mission of healing the Lan Clan’s patriarch and vanished without making any waves.
Along with him were his companions all this time, who were ever-so-silent, during the journey, while, of course, eating a variety of dishes Yang Lujia ordered, for the last time, from that high-end restaurant, Fragrant Mine.
“That restaurant really makes the most delicious food! We can’t even utter another word in this entire journey!” Brownie commented.
“Hmm! Hmm!” Everybody could not help but agree.
Even Yang Lujia was chewing on something while carrying them with him in the air. They did not need to expend any effort with him by their side at all.
In this journey to the northwest, Yang Lujia thought of the mission issued by the Lan Clan once more. This mission even showed him the latest information he got from this sacred city in the said direction.
However, before he left, he had already had the Church of Light, the Association Head, and other large organizations under his control. They just needed to act according to plan—and that was to act as was customary.
“I did not need to hide my identity. I just need to find her and settle everything,” Yang Lujia said as he flashed with the others and finally entered the sacred city where he intended to go.
With Yang Lujia on their side, the others did not have to worry about the slightest thing or the biggest one. After all, they knew how strong Yang Lujia was. Even Cai Hong, this abnormally strong servant was very strong himself.
The moment they entered the city, all eyes were on them. Their group was really peculiar and seemed to be out of place every time they would enter a place together. Just Yang Lujia’s flawless face and the sleeping but peril-inducing dog in his arms made them feel apprehensive of the group. Even more so when they sensed the suppressed auras of Cai Hong and Yin Hang, who was very strong at his young age.
But most of the spectators were attracted to the beauty that was with Yang Lujia and the others. Cao Xing could not compare to Xia Hua’s beauty but she was nevertheless beautiful to the people here, especially to men. That being said, she became subjected to envy and jealousy among women.
“Have you not seen enough?” Cao Xing growled, scaring the hell out of the men around them.
Yang Lujia and the others did not bother. As for Yin Hang, he was clueless in the first place, so he did not really pay attention to any of these details. He only wanted to try more food with his big brother.
He did not wait any longer and directly searched for Lan Mingyue’s location. As his mental power swept out, he stopped midway and observed the surroundings, especially in the Lan Clan’s main residence.
“Oh? There’s actually another Saint Emperor holding down the fort here?” Yang Lujia said, surprised.
That was because other than that young lady he encountered in the association, there had been no other person who had such a cultivation level. Here, there was actually another one. Moreover, he seemed to be ten folds stronger than the lady he met.
“Make way! Make way!” a sonorous voice clapped into everyone’s ears.
A floating carriage made its way into the streets as the people went to the side and did their thing. It was as if a ruler had arrived. Other than this, some airships arrived and there were countless of them. It was like they were here to confront a very powerful enemy.
Yang Lujia noticed that crown-like emblem again. It was like the crown of the human emperor. Could these people be from that palace mentioned by that young lady before? The Human Emperor Palace’s people?
“They’re indeed the Human Emperor Palace’s people,” Cai Hong answered his doubts. “I knew some of the palaces in this era. One of the strongest of them was the Human Emperor Palace. At least the condition or prerequisite to be named a “palace” is to have at least one peak Saint Emperor. I may be a peak Saint Emperor and Brownie may be the same, but peak Saint Emperors in Da Shikong are not easily found, Your Highness.”
“I see,” Yang Lujia said as he remained his gaze on the carriage that was approaching their direction.
People from the side were already urging them to run to the side and not make any trouble. It seemed like the Human Emperor Palace’s people assumed superiority the moment they stepped into the Sacred Region.
“What are you doing, little kid? Make way or else we’ll blow you into minced meat!” A man came out from the carriage and warned Yang Lujia with his eyes bearing into the other.
“Since you’re in a floating carriage, why can’t you just float above the establishments? You’re obviously trying to show your superiority here. If you want to gain more attention, might as well strip all your clothes and that will do more than this,” Yang Lujia refuted.
The people from the side paled from what they heard.
“Little brother, you should not have said that! That man is a commander under Saint Prince Huang! He’s probably here to save Saint Prince Huang because it was said that Cardinal Lin captured him. As for the reason, it was still unknown!” a voice entered his mind, but he ignored it nonetheless.
More voices came into his head, but he did the same to all of them—ignore them.
“You!!!” The man pointed at Yang Lujia with his sword. “You got a glib tongue, brat!”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Yang Lujia smiled.
His reply further infuriated the man. The latter felt like he hit a clump of cotton when he threw a sturdy rock!
“Brat! Are you tired of living? Do you know who you’re talking to?”
“I know you all. Human Emperor Palace. Are you really what your palace’s name suggests?” Yang Lujia replied. “As far as I know, the Human Emperor in your palace is only at the peak Saint Emperor. He might not even be able to wound my dog.”
When the man heard Yang Lujia’s words, he did not feel angry. Instead, he looked at this young man warily and the dog he was caressing in his arms. There was something abnormal about this. He had to be more careful. Although he was clouded by anger at the moment, he would not do something for the furtherance of severing the situation. He knew that their Saint Prince was captured.
This young man might have been sent here by the cardinal to test them. Although the Human Emperor Palace was strong, if they dared to do anything to the cardinal of this region, they might incur the anger of the Holy Light Emperor.
“Are you trying to provoke me, brat?”
“What if I am?”
“You!”
“You must be related to what is happening in the Lan Clan. The Lan Clan’s young lady is a friend of mine. Do you mind telling me what is going on here?” Yang Lujia meaningfully glanced at the airships and the additional ones that were hidden behind the shadows.
The man turned cold and looked at Yang Lujia sinisterly. “So it turned out that you were just a friend of that woman! That woman really did not know what was good for her! His Highness was the most favored by the Human Emperor. Becoming his concubine is more than a privilege for her!”
“Oh? If I tell you that I am also the most favored by a huge force and I want you to become my concubine, would you agree to it?” Yang Lujia grinned.
The man’s face froze. It felt like all his blood was boiling like crazy. That was the most ridiculous and insinuating question he had ever heard in his life!
“Brat, you really angered me! Do you really want to die so much?!”
Seeing the enraged expression of this man, the other people who had a favorable impression of Yang Lujia urged him to stop and apologize immediately to this domineering man. They said that he could not afford to offend him and the rest of the group, neither than Saint Prince Huang.
But Yang Lujia still did not listen to them and lifted himself in the air and looked at the man and the airships condescendingly. “I was actually planning to play more in this region and play with the people here in a lowkey manner, but it seemed like you really want to force. Remember this, though, if there’s someone who is asking to die at this moment, it’s definitely not me.”
