Plans often fail to keep up with changes, always remaining silent in such hesitation.
The monkey could only offer an awkward smile seeing them like this: "Of course, I don't want to get involved. As long as the four great families don't oppose me, everything is negotiable."
Speaking like this was truly heartless.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. If we keep going, we'll definitely become enemies," having understood the situation, he didn't want to discuss other matters, as this issue had a significant impact on them.
The Luo Fei family had realized the changes in the city, so they were more anxious than the other three families. They didn't want to see their status shaken and were determined to protect their interests with all their might.
Therefore, in their view, the most important thing now was to demonstrate this without reservation.
At this moment, such a problem suddenly appeared, so it naturally needed to be examined carefully. He didn't want to be treated like a fool, and that's exactly how Luo Fei felt. So, whenever he appeared before others, he always presented himself as a clever person, not wanting to be seen as a fool. In fact, the person who most wants to avoid being seen as a fool is often the biggest fool. Fatefully, when he appeared here, he happened to encounter Ye Tiancheng, the monkey, and the three of them chatting.
Although he didn't know that Ye Tiancheng was the one who produced the salt, he could tell from Ye Tiancheng's wise gaze that he was no simple person, so he immediately stopped in his tracks.
"Who are you?"
He really wanted to know the name of this wise person.
"Why should I tell you my name?"
He disliked and was displeased with such an impolite person, so he faced him with a very high posture.
"You arrogant brat, do you know who you're talking to?"
Unexpectedly, he was met with a closed door and was very angry and furious. He instinctively glared at Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng didn't know who he was, but the monkey and Si Yiran recognized the man before them. He was Luo Fei, one of the four great families.
"To think that someone in this city of Duogongna would speak to me like this, do you know you've committed a capital offense?" Seeing Ye Tiancheng speak this way, as a supremely honored person in this city, he naturally couldn't tolerate such arrogance, so he instinctively became enraged.
"I also know why you're angry. Of course, I've seen many people like you, and I'm not surprised. What noble status, what Luo family, one of the four great families, it's nothing in my eyes."
Ye Tiancheng disliked this fellow the moment he saw him. In his past life, anyone who dared to be so arrogant and overbearing in front of him would have met a terrible end.
With no other recourse, there was only one way to make them behave like normal people. Therefore, those who considered themselves normal were often abnormal.
He disliked facing others in this manner, so this expression naturally appeared, presenting himself to others in a peculiar way. Consequently, he would do many things beyond others' expectations. In most cases, he would do this with only one purpose: to appear incredibly formidable. Only then could he gain respect. That's how he thought.
Ye Tiancheng certainly wouldn't stoop to such a person. He knew that sooner or later there would be a direct confrontation with the ten great families, so he didn't hesitate at all. The weapon in his hand was already prepared. If this fellow dared to make a move, Ye Tiancheng would definitely not be polite. Having decided to do so, he naturally wouldn't care about the consequences. All he cared about was whether he could deliver a killing blow.
It seemed that all the problems had changed flavor at this juncture. The air was always filled with a sense of impending battle. Everyone felt the danger, and it was about to descend. No one dared to be careless anymore. Everyone's nerves were stretched taut.
Whoever made the first move would reveal a flaw, so both sides stared at each other. After all, those who could survive in life were not ordinary. They had experienced battles with demonic beasts, facing near-death situations countless times.
Those who survived in that forest were all formidable characters. Therefore, the moment they appeared before people, it heralded their unparalleled strength, a strength that was both shocking and terrifying. Many times, they wanted to change themselves in a new way, to become more respected.
If he hadn't fundamentally known that after gaining power, one must be a good person, he had already forgotten his original intention and was gradually misled by power. Gradually, he had changed his way of thinking.
He felt that only by being a very strange person could he make others feel fear, and from that, he could find a shred of joy.
Ye Tiancheng didn't want to say anything more to this fellow. The weapon in his hand was already raised high. In an instant, with an operation like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, he smashed down on the fellow's head.
The bright red liquid flowed all over the ground, giving people a feeling of changing colors.
"We were just talking nicely, how did you suddenly attack and kill the young master of the Luo family, one of the four great families?" Si Yiran looked at Ye Tiancheng in extreme horror. He didn't expect this guy to have such violent tendencies. They were talking fine just now, but in the next moment, he attacked, and with lightning speed, he completely shattered the guy's head before he could even defend himself.
"You've caused great trouble, do you know that?" Si Yiran said to Ye Tiancheng.
"Of course, I know. Isn't it just the Luo family, one of the ten great families? Hmph, what's so scary about their family? In my eyes, they're like ants."
For him, doing such a thing seemed very natural.
Perhaps due to some difference in people's understanding, he often felt like a drifting object, going with the flow. He might face a life-or-death choice, but that would be too exciting and fun.
"In the city of Duogongna, the four great families completely control this city. The reason why this city has become so unpleasant is that they simply don't care about the way these slaves live."
What Ye Tiancheng hated most was seeing things he disliked and wanting to destroy them with his own hands, never allowing them to appear in this world again.
Since he hadn't returned to his eldest sister's home for a long time, Si Yiran was very worried about his safety and came to find him with his other five sisters.
When his eldest sister saw Ye Tiancheng kill Luo Fei, she was extremely shocked. This was the Luo family, one of the four great families. Seeing her son... unlike other sons.
This made Ye Tiancheng feel like a kite about to fly away. Sometimes, a feeling would make him imagine and fly.
"What dynasty, what era, what time... if only we could become as powerful as ourselves." Saying this, the fellow couldn't help but smile wickedly.
Perhaps this wicked smile would make people endlessly think these guys were fools, but fools had their advantages, which was being able to live as they pleased...
Living this way, for Ye Tiancheng, he was truly like a fool among fools.
In his previous thoughts, many things would form pressure, and at this moment, he hadn't escaped his "salted fish" mentality.
"As a glorious and great salted fish, I just want to see how a salted fish can turn things around in this era." Speaking these words truly made him the biggest fool among fools, a non-existent existence... People's hearts held infinite waiting and infinite thoughts. It was these things that gradually formed a closed loop in his mind.
"In that case, shouldn't we settle the matter of salt first?" Saying this, his mood instantly changed.
Honestly, he never dreamed that such a thing would happen.
Regarding this, his heart was very complex.
And very messy.
He seemed to be at his wit's end.
At such a time, for the people of the Luo family, a confrontation with Ye Tiancheng was necessary, and it was necessary to do so.
The situation was beyond control.
At such a time, saying such words was simply a fantastical, illusory competition.
One must fully realize their thoughts and actions to the fullest extent.
Regarding this, his mood was in this manner. In the eyes of others, this was completely problematic, but in his eyes, it was almost non-existent.
Although such a situation would form in his heart, overall, it was almost a state of illusory fantasy.
"These guys are really frightening." It seemed that his thoughts and actions had become a necessary way of doing things here.
In Ye Tiancheng's view, the Luo family had already clashed with him, and he almost had no room to choose.
At this critical juncture, he could only proceed in that manner.
Otherwise, what else could he do?
When there was no other way, it could only be so.
"Such a situation will naturally be a major and infinitely terrifying one." Ye Tiancheng felt infinitely distressed and uncomfortable.
If it were true, it would be very annoying.
"What's there to be annoyed about?" Si Yiran looked at Ye Tiancheng, his mind like a ball of mush.
The monkey said, "Don't be like that, okay?"
"Then how can we make the other party feel threatened?"
"Currently, we only have assets," Ye Tiancheng said.
Upon hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, everyone felt like they wanted to curse.
What is this? It's simply unreasonable.
Regarding this, his heart was infinitely distressed, and he hoped to see what he wished to see.
But these things, to be honest with Ye Tiancheng, were already very oppressive.
No matter what, what must be done must be done.
No matter what troubles are encountered now.
Such troubles, to be honest, are incredibly terrifying and frightening.
"We have completely offended the Luo family. Now, how should we accomplish our tasks?"
"What's what? The salted fish mentality is to do nothing. Just patiently wait for the result." Regarding this, what arose in his heart was simply this straightforward.
The situation is simple, the matter is simple, everything is simple.
So there is nothing strange to say.
"How the Luo family will pose a threat in our minds, it seems very simple now. I think as long as we become strong and grow," in his opinion, this matter was that simple.
As a salted fish, this was the first feeling, with no extra thoughts.
Others might have different ideas, but in Ye Tiancheng's view, his ideas were extraordinary.
