Seeing Wu Fangxin, everyone fell silent.
"My son has made a mistake. Our Wu family is willing to offer a satisfactory compensation to everyone to atone for his wrongdoing," Wu Fangxin said.
If Wu Fangxin had not arrived earlier, and if Wu Erhu had been crippled, Wu Fangxin would have accepted it even if he was angry. But now that he had arrived, he was willing to pay a price to ensure his son's safety.
"The Wu family is willing to compensate. What about you, Zhuzi?" Mi Lai asked Liu Zhu with a hint of sarcasm.
If Zhuzi were a nickname from a friend, it would be well-intentioned. However, Liu Zhu felt no good intentions from Mi Lai, and he harbored great animosity towards him.
"Hmph," Liu Zhu snorted coldly.
"Brother Yang, you are A Kang's friend, and you are my friend too. Let him go!" Mi Lai then looked at Yang Feilong, whose background he knew a little about, suggesting he wasn't from a prominent family.
He had offended Liu Zhu now, but this enmity was not too great; it was just a loss of face. However, if Liu Zhu were to be killed or crippled, it would be troublesome, and the Liu family would never let Yang Feilong go.
Yang Feilong was standing up for his third brother. His family would definitely protect Yang Feilong, but they couldn't dispatch a Yuanwu realm cultivator to protect him, and even then, a Yuanwu realm cultivator might not be able to protect Yang Feilong.
This was because the Liu family had Diwu realm cultivators!
Should they dispatch a Diwu realm cultivator for protection? That was unrealistic!
But if they didn't protect him, what if something happened to Yang Feilong? Their Mi family would then be seen as unrighteous.
Yang Feilong pondered for a moment.
"If their family dares to seek revenge on you, I will kill them myself!" Mi Lai added.
Hearing Mi Lai's words, Liu Zhu's lips twitched. Mi Lai was always a man of his word; if he said he would kill Liu Zhu, he would definitely keep his promise.
"Good!" Yang Feilong agreed after hearing this and glancing at Mi Kang, who nodded. "As for the Liu family's revenge? I'm not afraid. Let them come at me! I, Yang Feilong, will be waiting!"
He was indeed not afraid of the Liu family's revenge!
After all, he dared to provoke the young master of the Ouyang family in Longxi, let alone the Liu family. The Liu family was not as powerful as the Ouyang family in Longxi.
Mi Lai then turned to Wu Fangxin and said calmly, "I hope this compensation does not disappoint me. Otherwise, I don't mind seeing one less ancient martial arts family!"
His voice was calm, yet his tone carried a threat.
A low-level cultivator was threatening a high-level cultivator, but Wu Fangxin felt no humiliation. He quickly agreed, "Rest assured, Young Master Mi will be satisfied!"
As for killing him, besides the question of whether it was possible, even if he could kill him, could he guarantee that the matter here would not spread? Moreover, were these young masters from prominent families venturing out without any protection? That was unrealistic!
Mi Lai had come alone and seemed so confident, clearly not putting on an act. Perhaps he had trump cards that Wu Fangxin couldn't imagine. Furthermore, it was possible that important figures from the Mi family already knew about this matter. If these people met with misfortune, Wu family might be in trouble!
...
One day later.
The Xu family.
Hoo hoo~~~
Yang Feilong opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a hint of joy appeared: "It's successful!"
"Now I possess both water and fire abilities!" Yang Feilong murmured to himself, audible only to him. "And I have enough Fire Spirit Pearls and Fire Spirit Stones. In a few days, my fire ability can catch up to my water and fire abilities. Then, with both water and fire working in harmony, I will have some combat power even without using true qi!"
Yes, Yang Feilong had broken through.
The Wu family's compensation and the fire-element treasures given to him by Xu Zhenqiang had all been obtained.
It could be said that Yang Feilong was the biggest winner from his actions yesterday.
The Wu family's compensation was indeed considerable. Even now, Yang Feilong was secretly astonished, three Fire Spirit Pearls plus five hundred low-grade spirit stones, that was a fortune worth five to six hundred million!
The three Fire Spirit Pearls were requested by Mi Kang.
Xu Zhenqiang also provided a considerable amount of Fire Spirit Stones and Fire Spirit Pearls, a total of seven Fire Spirit Stones and four Fire Spirit Pearls!
Yang Feilong used the Fire Spirit Pearls to awaken his fire ability. However, for future cultivation, Yang Feilong planned to use the Fire Spirit Stones. Using Fire Spirit Pearls was too extravagant. Fire Spirit Pearls were excellent for breaking through major realms or awakening abilities.
"I'll see if Li Yufei is suitable for awakening water or fire abilities then!" Yang Feilong thought to himself.
If a person's various attributes were not prominent, it would be very difficult to awaken abilities.
If the metal attribute was prominent in the body, it would be almost impossible to awaken other elemental abilities. Dual abilities were not non-existent, but they were extremely rare!
This was also because Yang Feilong had an extraordinary physique that allowed him to awaken dual abilities.
"Continue!" Yang Feilong silently commanded and returned to his cultivation state.
This place was not far from the Tang family. If they drove, it would only take two hours to reach. The Tang family's coming-of-age ceremony for their eldest daughter and eldest son was on August 1st, which was only a few days away, so there was no rush.
Time flew by, and it was July 31st.
This was also the day everyone had agreed to depart. Although tomorrow was the day of the Tang family's coming-of-age ceremony, arriving a day early would allow them to witness other talented young prodigies.
"Brother Feilong, you're finally willing to come out!" Seeing Yang Feilong emerge from seclusion, Mi Ya ran up to him, excited yet a little aggrieved, pouting.
"They say there are no absolutely gifted cultivators, only lazy cultivators. Brother Yang is talented and works so hard, no wonder his strength is so great!" Mi Kang exclaimed.
"That's for sure!" Xu Zhenqiang grinned. "Compared to Brother Yang, I'm practically a slacker!"
"Little sister, if you had your Brother Feilong's dedication to cultivation, you wouldn't still be a cultivator who hasn't reached the peak of the Xuwu realm!" Mi Lai said to his sister Mi Ya. "You're wasting your talent!"
Mi Ya had excellent martial arts talent, but she simply didn't cultivate diligently.
In fact, if not for Yang Feilong's influence, she wouldn't even be at the late Xuwu realm, close to perfection, right now.
Considering that over the past few months, Mi Ya had gone from not even entering the Xuwu realm to reaching the late Xuwu realm just by putting in some effort, it was evident how exceptional her talent was.
"Hehe, martial arts is too boring!" Mi Ya said with a giggle.
Already beautiful, her smile made all the flowers lose their luster.
Xu Zhenqiang glanced at her and dared not look any longer. He had already changed his mindset, but Mi Ya's beauty still affected him.
Yang Feilong replied to everyone with a smile, "I usually cultivate casually. I've only worked hard for two days, and you're praising me for being diligent. I truly don't deserve it!"
"Modest!"
"Haha!"
Everyone laughed. Xu Zhenqiang said, "My father has prepared some delicious food for us. Shall we eat and talk?"
"I'd be delighted."
"Indeed, and I'm also hungry."
Everyone agreed with a smile.
