"Yang Zhai, have you gone insane or something? Stop speaking nonsense and change your decision right now" Wei Li was getting worked up after listening to Yang Zhai.
"Yang Zhai, do you even realize what you are saying?" Bin Wei came forward and said to Yang Zhai.
"Brother Yang, please think once more. It is father's dream to become a noble, and now he has the chance to become a noble, please don't ruin it now." Lie Yi also came to Yang Zhai and spoke. He was being very respectful to Yang Zhai. He had not spoken to Yang Zhai like this for a very long time.
Hyun Hae was the only one who did not say anything to Yang Zhai and just watched.
Elders also did not interfere and just looked at Wei Li and others, convincing Yang Zhai.
"This is my final decision, I will not become a noble. Tell me, were you not planning to treat me worse after becoming noble?" Yang Zhai replied.
"I did not think of anything like this at all, you are imagining things. Anyway, why don't we talk about this after getting home, right now, you need to change your mind about not becoming a noble and complete the pact." Wei Li's voice was beginning to become louder.
However, Yang Zhai did not reply and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going? Listen to me." Wei Li stopped Yang Zhai and shouted.
However, Yang Zhai did not care and put Wei Li's hands away from his shoulder. After that, he left.
"This fool, I will kill him." Wei Li mumbled slowly. He muttered so slowly that no normal human being could hear him even if they were standing close to him.
But, the third elder Zihao De came to Wei Li and spoke,
"Wei Li, I don't know if you said something about treating Yang Zhai worse than a dog or not, but I don't want anything to happen to him. He is a disciple of the Bai clan, and if he is injured or killed, the clan will definitely not sit idly."
Zihao De could see how angry Wei Li was. It was clearly visible on Wei Li's face. Of course, he would not leave Yang Zhai so easily. That's why Zihao De warned Wei Li beforehand.
After saying this, he left.
Wei Li stood in his place like he had turned into a statue. Who would not be like him if their dreams were shattered just because of a single kid?
"This bast**d" Wei Li muttered again.
"What happened?" Bhang's family members came out of the room and asked the Gir family.
"That servant told me that one of the Wei family members refused to become noble."
"What?! Wasn't he always boasting that he will be a noble one day?! I wonder how he will face others now."
"He deserved it, he always looked down on me."
"Well, I feel pity for him. He boasted about him becoming a noble for so many years, and now, it is all ruined just because of a single kid."
Both of the families were talking to each other. Joy could be seen on their faces. They were happy about becoming noble, but they were even happier after seeing the condition of the Wei family. This was how a few people lived. They would be sad after failing, but would become happy after seeing that their close ones have also failed.
After one hour,
Yang Zhai was sitting on a chair, cultivating. He was about to reach the rank 3 peak stage and did not want to waste any time.
The slammed door opened and Wei Li entered the house.
"That basta*d Yang Zhai, how dare he do such a thing?!!!! I will surely kill that ungrateful brat." He shouted.
His face was filled with anger and indignation.
When he entered the house, he saw Yang Zhai sitting on a chair, looking towards them. When he saw this, his mood turned even worse. He shouted at Yang Zhai without even thinking about anything,
"You unscrupulous child, how dare you do this to me, you ruined everything, and now I have even lost the reputation I had!!! Do you even regret this?! And when did you hear Bin Wei and me talking bad about you, huh?!!!"
Yang Zhai did not mind Wei Li's anger and rude behavior toward him. It was to be expected from Wei Li; after all, Yang Zhai had ruined all of his planning. Yang Zhai also did not smile as it would only make Wei Li even angrier.
"Uncle Wei, uncle Wei, please calm down, it's not good for your health. Let's be honest here. Do you know why I rejected becoming a noble?"
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Wei Li's eyes narrowed after hearing Yang Zhai.
"But first, let me tell you something. You might have already realized how important I am to the clan right now, right? That's why, the clan has personally appointed the third elder to protect me; thus, if you try to do something to me, he will kill you without any hesitation. So, think before doing anything." Yang Zhai was almost fifteen, not much smaller in height than Wei Li, there was only a foot difference in their heights. He went closer to Wei Li and muttered in his ear.
When Wei Li heard this, his eyes widened.
"Now, the reason I refused to become a noble is that I am in need of five thousand low-grade essence stones, fifty mid-grade essence stones. So, I will agree to become a noble as soon as I am not in need of these essence stones anymore. Do you understand?" Yang Zhai also said this in Wei Li's ear. He did not want anyone else to hear what he said.
However, when Wei Li heard this, his anger went off the roof, and he forgot about the third elder too. Yang Zhai wanted five thousand low-grade essence stones and fifty mid-grade essence stores from him even after ruining his dream. Had Yang Zhai taken him as someone who could be messed around with?
He could not control his anger and was about to punch Yang Zhai in the stomach. However, Yang Zhai grabbed his hand before Wei Li could even lift it to punch Yang Zhai. Wei Li tried to free his hand from Yang Zhai's grip, but could not.
Even though Yang Zhai had stopped Wei Li's hand, it seemed like he was just grabbing it, just like how people grab others' hands when begging. And everyone was standing on Wei Li's left side and Wei Li was about to use his right hand to punch Yang Zhai, that's why nobody noticed anything strange
"Wait, first listen to me, you can kill me after that. I did it for only your safety, so don't kill me until the truth is revealed, please." Yang Zhai began to speak loudly.
From his acting, it seemed like Wei Li had stopped himself. However, Wei Li could clearly feel that he could not move his hand, no matter how he tried.
Wei Li's eyes widened, he was flabbergasted and confused.
Yang Zhai now had the strength of almost seven bulls even without the help of the orange lines. He could have handled Wei Li even with only the strength of rank 3, now that he had the strength of almost seven bulls, Wei Li's physical strength was nothing in front of Yang Zhai. He could kill Wei Li on the spot if Yang Zhai wanted to.
