chapter-344
Crown Prince Feng sighed in relief silently when he heard Tang Li Xue's refusion.
Crown Prince Feng really did not understand what was in this Elder Yang's mind to make that kind of promise to this unknown girl.
Did Elder Yang not know how many resources would be needed to create another Empire equal to Feng Empire?!
Also, if Elder Yang really wanted that ring necklace so badly, Crown Prince Feng could easily send some of his people to negotiate with this unknown girl later.
In the worst case, if this unknown girl still refused to give up her ring necklace, they could easily make her mysteriously vanished from this Tang Feng City and take the ring necklace from her.This Tang Feng City was the capital city of the Feng Empire after all. The territory where their authority was the strongest, and they could easily do whatever they want here!
Of course, Crown Prince Feng would never do something despicable in front of so many citizens, and he also did not dare to interrupt Elder Yang's discussion with that unknown girl.
Crown Prince Feng decided to stay silent for now, but he already secretly decided in his heart to take that ring necklace from Tang Li Xue later even if he needs to use coercion.
Meanwhile, Elder Yang frowned deeply in frustration and pondered for a few moments.
Actually, Elder Yang did not even know any effect of that ring necklace like what Tang Li Xue accused him.
He only remembered his mother only said that ring will ward any bad luck and bring him more fortune if he always kept it with him all the time.
That was the reason why Elder Yang or Xiao Hei gave it to his Xiao Bai before.He wanted that ring to protect his Xiao Bai from any bad luck and harm.
Unfortunately, his wish was not granted at that time… That ring failed to protect his Xiao Bai, and his Xiao Bai was killed by his own uncle, Mo Chonglin's hands!
For Elder Yang, the ring necklace was an important memento that contained the memories of his mother and his Xiao Bai, so he really wanted to get a hold of it as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, Elder Yang decided to intimidate Tang Li Xue a little and said: "Young Miss, I do not know where you got that ring necklace, but that ring necklace is actually mine before. That ring necklace is actually a very important memento for me…"
"I know it is my fault because I lost it before, and I truly thank Young Miss a lot for finding it, but I hope you can return that ring necklace to me right now. I promise I will grant any of your wishes as long as it is within my capability." Elder Yang softened his words and offered to grant Tang Li Xue's wishes again in exchange for her ring necklace.
Tang Li Xue sneered at Elder Yang with disgust and mocking feelings mixed up in it, then she said to Elder Yang again with her previous cold chilling tone: "You said you are called Elder Yang, so I guess your surname should be Yang, right?"
Just from Tang Li Xue's unfriendly tone, Elder Yang already knew that Tang Li Xue would not comply with his request so easily.
Elder Yang frowned in displeasure, but he still politely answered Tang Li Xue's question: "That is right. My surname is Yang. Is there something wrong with it?"
"What a big liar?! Then why the name of this ring is [Huang Family Heirloom Ring]?! It is clear from its name that this ring belongs to Huang Family, not Yang Family!" Tang Li Xue shouted with a cold but righteous tone to Elder Yang.
"Is this the true behavior of the honorable elder of Immortal Sword Sect?! You see something you like on the other person, and then you will claim it to be yours?! I really doubt that you even have any interest in fulfilling any of your promises later, even after I give this ring necklace to you!" Tang Li Xue shouted louder to let her words be heard by everyone there to embarrass Elder Yang.
Tang Li Xue did not hold back at all, and her words were really rude this time. Just like a sharp dagger, her every word was sharp and merciless aimed to shred Elder Yang's reputation in front of all of these citizens.
It could not be helped since Tang Li Xue could not hold her temper anymore. She felt her mind and heart were already burning with extreme fury toward this Elder Yang.
While Elder Yang widened his eyes in shock and disbelief and murmured: "You… how… could… How could you know my mother's family surname?! Is there really any name carved on that ring? Impossible! There should be nothing carved on that ring! Then, how could you… This is impossible…"
Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes in exasperation and thought: 'What a bast*rd?! He still dares to say that Huang is his mother's family surname!'
'Doesn't it mean if I said I make a mistake and change the ring's name right now, he can still also change it into his nephew's family surname, aunt's family surname, cousin's family surname, and so on?!'
'Bravo! What a clever big liar?! As I expect from the genius human! Even your way of bullshitting is on another level from the other humans!'
Tang Li Xue suddenly felt that she could no longer converse with this shameless bast*rd Elder Yang anymore.
Every time she said something to argue with this Elder Yang, he could perfectly turn it over and made it as if she was the one in wrong.
Her fury already reached the breaking point that she almost went insane because of it.
Both Hei Yinghao and Bing Yi wanted to step in and helped Tang Li Xue out, but they immediately canceled their intention after they got a stern warning glare from Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan actually also had a headache when she thought about how to resolve this situation peacefully.
From their conversation, both Tang Li Xue and Elder Yang refused to give up, and both of them claimed that the ring necklace was theirs from the start.
Instructor Mei Lan also noticed from the way of Crown Prince Feng and that little princess stared at Tang Li Xue that both of them were never planning to settle this problem in a peaceful way.
Tang Li Xue might be thinking that Elder Yang was unreasonable and scummy, but in Instructor Mei Lan's eyes that Elder Yang was actually a quite honest and sincere person.
Anyone with power and authority like the Elders of Immortal Sword Sect or Crown Prince Feng usually resorted to all underhanded methods to get what they wanted with minimum cost or even without any cost at all, especially when they faced someone with an unclear background like them.
But someone with a high position like Elder Yang even bothered to negotiate with them and even promised to grant their wishes in exchange for Tang Li Xue's ring necklace. Those all were already enough to show that he was a good and sincere person.
'Sigh… This is really my blunder. If I know both of them are so hard-headed, I would not allow Little Xue to speak directly to this Elder Yang.' Instructor Mei Lan thought as she sighed in regret.
However, the one who was having the biggest headache right now was not Instructor Mei Lan nor Tang Li Xue, but Elder Yang himself!
'How could this be?! This should be impossible! Only myself, my mother herself, and lastly, my father knows about my mother's real surname! Not even my grandfather or Mo Chonglin knew my mother's real surname! Then how could this girl know my mother's real surname?!' Elder Yang bit his lips in anxiety.
'Is she guessing it randomly? Impossible! There are more than hundreds of thousands of surnames out there, how could she guess it correctly right at this timing! And… she also sounds so sure about it too!' Elder Yang immediately denied this possibility.
'Wait… Wait a minute… Let's calm down first and think about it really carefully from another perspective…' Elder Yang took a deep breath to calm down himself, and he started to think deeply once again by himself for a few moments.
'What if the ring on this girl's neck is not really the ring I gave to Xiao Bai before?'
'What if this girl's ring and my mother's ring are actually a pair of identical rings of Huang Family?!'
'The possibility of this is quite big! But… doesn't it mean that this girl is actually the relative from my mother's family side?! She might be even my cousin or my nephew from my mother's family side!'
The more Elder Yang thought about it, the more he was sure that his deduction was most likely the real truth.
After concluded about that, Elder Yang suddenly felt really guilty toward this young girl who might be his cousin or nephew.
Of course, Elder Yang would never conclude that his deduction was 100% correct without checking it first, so he decided to ask Tang Li Xue a few questions with the intention to probe her background right now: "Young Miss, I am really sorry for my audacity. You are saying that your ring necklace's name is [Huang Family Heirloom Ring]. Does it mean Young Miss surname is Huang?"
Tang Li Xue's patience finally snapped when she heard Elder Yang's probing question. She felt that Elder Yang actually mocked her for possessing the ring from Huang Family, although she was not from Huang Family.
In short, Tang Li Xue thought that Elder Yang was actually mocking her for stealing from other people, so he was not wrong from trying to take or steal the ring necklace from her too.
"Shut up! I really regret saving the life of scum like you before! I should just let you die in Quanhai City!" Tang Li Xue said as she gnashed her teeth in great anger.
Tang Li Xue even threw a powerful kick toward Elder Yang's stomach out of anger.
But because of the difference between their heights, Tang Li Xue's powerful kick was actually aimed toward Elder Yang's crotch right now!
