Facing an incredibly innocent, elegant, and guileless girl, anyone would find it hard to maintain a cold demeanor., anyone would find it hard to maintain a cold demeanor.
"How many times have I told you not to easily trust people outside, but you..." Although Ye Han's voice was as cold as before, devoid of any other emotions, it felt warm to Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya was simple, without any scheming, but she could hear the concern in Ye Han's words.
"Brother Ye Han, Xiao Ya knows her mistake, I won't do it again," Xiao Ya, who had regained her smile, softly said to Ye Han.
Gregory, on the other hand, was stunned by Ye Han's cold voice when he first appeared. But as the son of a Prime Minister, he had seen many grand occasions, and coupled with his status as an eighth-level swordsman, his mentality was quite firm, and he quickly recovered.
The awakened Gregory saw Xiao Ya regaining her smile, and the desire that had been suppressed just now immediately rushed to his brain.
And seeing that the beautiful girl who was almost his own was now smiling at a man in a black robe, and ignoring him, the son of Imperial Prime Minister, the desire in Gregory's heart was instantly replaced by another blaze. That was jealousy, rage!
"Young man, are you this lady's brother?" Gregory controlled his anger and looked at Ye Han, who was dressed in a cheap black robe, arrogantly.
"What? You have a problem?" Ye Han looked at Gregory, who was as arrogant as a rooster, and responded rudely. But he didn't even look at Gregory, instead, he kept his eyes on Xiao Ya. It seemed he was still upset about Xiao Ya's behavior just now.
Xiao Ya saw Ye Han under the black robe looking at her, she seemed to know that her actions just now had upset Ye Han. She looked aggrieved, her little hands tugging at a corner of her clothes helplessly, like a wronged little wife.
"Young man, do you know who I am?" The noble aura on Gregory instantly revealed itself. Gregory wanted to use his identity to make Ye Han know the difficulties and bow out gracefully.
Ye Han turned his head slightly and looked at Gregory, the corners of his mouth under the black robe slightly raised. "Who you are, what does it have to do with me?"
"You..." Hearing Ye Han's cold words, Gregory's anger increased even more. As the son of the Imperial Deputy Prime Minister, there had never been a commoner who dared to speak to him like this.
Just as Gregory was about to speak, one of his followers came to Gregory's side. "Young Master, this man is not simple!" he said in a low voice. Although the voice was small, Ye Han still heard it.
"Xiao Ya, there might be trouble later, I'll send you back first and pick you up when I'm done," Ye Han said to Xiao Ya in a low voice.
When Xiao Ya heard that Ye Han was going to send her back, she was not happy. But thinking that she had no ability to protect herself, she nodded slightly. "Don't worry, it won't take long, I'll pick you up as soon as I'm done. You were hungry, weren't you? Hehe..." Hearing Ye Han mention her hunger again, Xiao Ya's face turned red and she glanced at Ye Han shyly.
After hearing his follower's words, Gregory felt a sudden shock in his heart. He took another close look at the man under the black robe in front of him. But seeing Xiao Ya suddenly blush, Gregory instantly forgot what his follower had just said. "Good boy, he doesn't even put this young master in his eyes," Gregory thought viciously."Young man, I've taken a fancy to your sister. Here is a purple crystal coin, take it and leave." With that, Gregory tossed a purple crystal coin at Ye Han's feet, as if he was tossing a coin to a beggar.
This action immediately enraged Ye Han. "Well, I've taken a fancy to your life. Can I take it away if I give you two purple crystal coins?" His voice was colder than before, causing the surrounding air temperature to drop several degrees instantly.
"You're courting death!" Gregory's fighting spirit dissipated all over his body after he finished speaking, clearly even more angry because of Ye Han's words.
Sensing something was wrong, a follower beside him whispered, "Young Master, no!"
"What?" Gregory coldly addressed his follower. Although Gregory was arrogant, he was not stupid, and he was well aware of his follower's strength. Apart from a few sixth-rank swordsmen who had died, the rest were all above the eighth rank, and there was even a ninth-rank swordsman and magician. The follower next to him was that ninth-rank swordsman.
"To make such a cautious person with ninth-rank strength, his strength seems not to be low either. "Young Master, this man is hiding his strength very well, it's not possible to see his real strength, but it won't be too low," the ninth-rank swordsman said in a low voice, watching Ye Han with a frown.
"Can't you see anything at all?" Gregory had to be careful as the water in Miat city was very deep. Some disciples of hidden powerhouses also came here. If he offended one, the consequences would be severe. Gregory clearly understood that his position in his family was not very high.
"Yes, but one thing is certain," the ninth-rank swordsman said slowly. His eyes never left Ye Han, as if he wanted to see Ye Han clearly from inside out.
"What's that!" Gregory suppressed his anger. Even if he was the son of the Imperial Deputy Prime Minister, those hidden powerhouses wouldn't buy it, and their disciples certainly wouldn't pay any attention.
"His strength has definitely not reached the Saint rank. Perhaps it's the same as mine, or even lower." A saint rank powerhouse can completely converge his own breath. Under the observation of the ninth-rank swordsman, although Ye Han hid it very well, there was still a slight energy fluctuation around his body.
"I wonder which family this brother belongs to?" From 'young man' to 'brother', it was not Gregory's respect for Ye Han, but for the speculated powerful person or family behind Ye Han. This world is so realistic. Everything survives on strength and influence.
"I don't belong to any family, I'm just a hunter from the mountains."
"Then your teacher must be a very remarkable person," Gregory asked again, trying to probe further.
"Teacher? I don't have a teacher, who is qualified to be my teacher?" Ye Han said arrogantly. Yes, who on this planet is qualified to be a zombie's teacher, and does a zombie need someone to teach him...
Hearing Ye Han's answer, Gregory's previous estimate suddenly vanished. No family, no powerful teacher. What was he afraid of? Just a lowly commoner.
Looking at the beautiful girl, Gregory's lust once again overcame his anger. He turned his head and looked at his dozen or so followers not far away. "Surround them, there's nothing I want that I can't get," Gregory said excitedly. Thinking that the beautiful girl would soon belong to him, Gregory thought the God of Light was so lovely at this moment.
