Chapter 228 By the Moat
"Chen Dao is right, My Lord, just let He Feng handle it,"
"Even if we two are tied together, we are not as smart as he is. Among the three of us, he's definitely the most suitable to manage the Eastern Sea for you!"
Ye Jiu, who was driving, immediately chimed in.
Hearing their words, Ye Ling revealed a helpless smile, then said, "What do you mean 'on my behalf to manage the Eastern Sea'?"
"That's the territory of the Eastern Sea King, not of me, the Northern Liao King."
At his words, Chen Dao and Ye Jiu both showed a knowing smile, as if everyone understood.
After a round of light-hearted conversation, the vehicle swiftly progressed on the highway.
When it started to get dark, they finally entered Jinling City.
By the moat of Jinling City, Ye Ling suddenly said, "Stop the car! Su Rou and I will take a walk."
"You two go ahead to the Su residence and wait for us."
Hearing this, Ye Jiu immediately parked the car.
Then Ye Ling and Su Rou got out of the car, while Ye Jiu and the others continued towards the Su residence.
Linking arms with Ye Ling, Su Rou and he strolled leisurely along the moat.
"Big Brother Ye, what made you think of getting out of the car all of a sudden?"
Su Rou asked in a low voice.
Ye Ling shook his head with a smile and replied, "Even if I hadn't gone to the Su residence, I know they probably would have gathered all the notables of Jinling City there waiting for us."
"I don't like that kind of scene. Instead of dealing with those notables, I'd rather walk here with you and enjoy the scenery."
Upon hearing this, Su Rou showed a look of understanding and nodded with a smile.
The two of them walked along the moat for a while, when Su Rou suddenly asked, "Big Brother Ye, we haven't eaten anything all day, are you hungry?"
"I wasn't originally, but now that you mention it, I'm starting to feel a bit hungry,"
Ye Ling said with a light laugh.
Su Rou showed a slightly aggrieved expression and said in a frustrated tone, "Big Brother Ye, do you know how long it will take for us to walk back to Jinling City from here?"
"Well... about half an hour, I guess?"
Ye Ling said somewhat uncertainly.
Actually, with his speed, it would take just a few minutes to rush back into the city,
but since Su Rou wasn't well, even slower than the average person, half an hour was a conservative estimate.
The gleaming daggers, shining with a cold light, continuously closed in on Ye Ling and Su Rou.
Su Rou looked anxious, gripping Ye Ling's arm a little tighter.
"Don't be afraid, they're just minor characters."
Ye Ling said with a light chuckle to comfort her.
He then raised his other free hand, and from his fingertips, bursts of energy shot out instantly.
The energy streams aimed straight for the middle-aged men, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds.
Before the men could react, the energy streams had already penetrated their bodies, leaving behind blood holes.
"Ah!"
Piercing screams immediately came from the men as they rolled on the ground.
It seemed as though rolling on the ground could somehow alleviate their pain.
"Now talk! Who exactly are you guys?"
Ye Ling looked at the first middle-aged man and said sternly.
The middle-aged man struggled to swallow his saliva, his gaze towards Ye Ling filled with terror.
"You... don't be arrogant, my big brother is the well-known Gold Tooth Brother in Jinling City!"
The middle-aged man said with a trembling voice while being stared at by Ye Ling.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently, "Gold Tooth Brother? What's that?"
"I'm giving you a chance, call him and have your big brother come here immediately to save you."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately showed a hint of joy, for the influence of Gold Tooth Brother was much stronger than a mere pickpocket's.
Although the young man before him was somewhat terrifying, he believed that as soon as Gold Tooth Brother and his lackeys arrived, they could definitely rescue him from this man's clutches!
Under Ye Ling's watchful eye, the middle-aged man made a phone call.
The call was quickly connected, and the man immediately began, "Gold Tooth Brother, I've been caught at the Moat."
"It's an emergency, hurry and bring people to save me!"
The man then ended the call, looking at Ye Ling cautiously and saying, "Gold Tooth Brother said he'll be here immediately, you can't lay a hand on me before he arrives!"
"Heh, I'm not even interested in laying a hand on trash like you."
Ye Ling glanced at him, speaking with disdain.
Hearing this, the man didn't get angry; instead, he felt a trace of relief in his heart, at least indicating that this terrifyingly skilled young man wouldn't attack him!
