"Stop—"
Seeing Wo Long subdued and about to be carried away by several burly men, Shen Lang called out at the critical moment.
"Stop?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Huang Yuyan sneered and said, "I can stop and let him go, but you marry me."
"Ah... this..."
Shen Lang shivered with fright upon hearing this. He would rather die than marry Huang Yuyan.
"Enough. Since you don't have the guts to marry me, then stay out of my business. Otherwise, don't blame me for dealing with you."
With that, Huang Yuyan waved her plump hand and said, "Take this brat away. He'll be on the carriage tonight, and I'll see how I torment him."
"Senior Brother... save me."
Thinking of the terrifying scene of him and Huang Yuyan in the bridal chamber, Wo Long looked utterly dejected and cried out.
However, Shen Lang's mind was already blank with fear from Huang Yuyan's words, and he didn't hear Wo Long at all.
And so, Wo Long was carried away by seven or eight burly men.
"Brother Shen Lang, you're just going to let Wo Long be taken away like this?"
After Huang Yuyan also left, Zhen Mi looked at Shen Lang with disbelief and said.
"Ugh..."
As soon as Zhen Mi finished speaking, she leaned forward and vomited all the breakfast she had eaten that morning, collapsing weakly to the ground.
At this moment, Shen Lang finally understood why Wo Long had been so terrified. Huang Yuyan was indeed a monstrous and ugly freak of nature. Just a glance was enough to scare someone to death.
"I... I didn't want Wo Long to be taken away, but didn't you hear what Huang Yuyan said? If I stopped her, she would marry me."
Shen Lang looked at Zhen Mi and said aggrievedly, "You wouldn't want me to marry this ugly monster, would you?"
"Of course not. I just want us to find a way to save Wo Long. After all, he's your junior brother."
Zhen Mi said, "Besides being incredibly ugly, Huang Yuyan is also extremely twisted. Every man who calls her ugly is dragged into her bridal chamber and then tormented to death in a perverted manner. Wo Long falling into her hands is very dangerous."
"Right, we need to find a way, save him, save him."
Shen Lang wanted to save him, but his legs went weak and he felt nauseous whenever he saw Huang Yuyan. He couldn't even muster his inner strength from his dantian. How could he save anyone like this?
Shen Lang pondered in his mind, but for a long time, he couldn't come up with any useful solution.
"Do you need my help?"
Just as Shen Lang was at a loss, suddenly, a voice that seemed to come from hell, cold and terrifying, rang out.
Hearing this voice, Shen Lang was startled. He turned his head and saw that Can Dao and Ye Ziling had come upstairs at some point.
Can Dao's martial arts cultivation was even deeper. Shen Lang used his dual pupils to scout and found that Can Dao had also broken through to the peak of the Earth realm.
This made Shen Lang completely lose his composure. He was a genius, reaching the peak of the Earth realm at twenty-five. Besides luck, his uncle had also helped him.
But the last time he saw Can Dao, he was only at the early stage of the Earth realm. How could he have broken through to the peak of the Earth realm in such a short time, just like him?
"Can Dao, you've broken through?"
Shen Lang looked at Can Dao with disbelief and said.
"Yes, I just broke through recently."
Can Dao said calmly, "For the past twenty years, my martial arts cultivation has been basically stagnant. But after being poisoned by you, my inner demons seem to have been unsealed, so my martial arts have been improving at an astonishing rate, even a thousand miles a day."
"But you're not simple either. The last time I saw you, you were only at the early stage of the Earth realm, and now you're also at the peak of the Earth realm like me. Shen Lang, you are truly a rare martial arts prodigy in a millennium."
Hearing Can Dao's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Don't say that. Your martial arts cultivation improved on its own, while mine relied on external forces, so it's like cheating."
"Brother Shen Lang, you've become even more handsome."
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Ye Ziling walked up to Shen Lang and said with a smile.
"Ziling, you've also become more beautiful."
Shen Lang looked at Ye Ziling, who was dressed in purple, and smiled.
After speaking, Shen Lang looked at Can Dao and said, "A few days ago, I met a woman. She is looking for you now. Her name is Qin Lianyue."
"Qin Lianyue?"
Hearing this name, a complex expression appeared on Can Dao's face, and he said, "She is my sister."
"Your sister?"
Shen Lang was shocked, "Then aren't you Qin Cangjing?"
Qin Cangjing, the eldest son of the Qin family in Longdu, a genius among geniuses. He was the eldest son of the family, and everything he did was the first. He was the best in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and he was also the best in martial arts. All his peers were so overwhelmed by him that they couldn't breathe.
However, Qin Cangjing suddenly betrayed the Qin family at the age of eighteen and killed many Qin family members. His whereabouts have been unknown since then.
Shen Lang had heard the old man talk about Qin Cangjing before, and he would always sigh. He never expected that Qin Cangjing would stand before him one day.
"Yes, I am Qin Cangjing. However, I prefer it when you call me Can Dao."
Can Dao looked at Shen Lang and smiled, "Qin Cangjing has been dead for many years. There is no Qin Cangjing in this world anymore, only a person with a fragmented soul, a broken blade."
"Shen Lang, I beg you one thing: do not tell Qin Lianyue my whereabouts, because I no longer wish to have any connection with the Qin family."
"Alright, I promise you."
Shen Lang nodded solemnly and then said, "Can you help me save Wo Long?"
"Of course, I owe you a favor. Within three years, I can help you with anything you ask."
Can Dao looked at Shen Lang and said calmly, "I will ensure your junior brother returns safely."
With that, Can Dao held Ye Ziling's hand and turned to leave.
As Can Dao turned, he bumped into Zhou Wenjun, who was coming upstairs. Seeing Can Dao's icy, death-like gaze, Zhou Wenjun shivered.
"Mr. Shen, who is he? Why is he so terrifying?"
Looking at Shen Lang, Zhou Wenjun couldn't suppress her curiosity and said.
"Someone who should have disappeared. Elder Zhou need not ask further."
With Wo Long captured by Huang Yuyan, Shen Lang had lost the mood for tea. He waved to a waiter and said, "Bill, please."
Soon, the waiter walked over. However, as soon as she handed out a QR code for Shen Lang to scan, Zhen Mi snatched it away.
"Brother Shen Lang, you are a lifetime super VIP of Wangbei Teahouse. You don't need to pay."
After saying that, Zhen Mi waved to the waiter, signaling her to leave quickly. The waiter, being observant, immediately turned and left.
"I'm a lifetime super VIP?"
Shen Lang smiled upon hearing this and said, "I don't seem to know about this. But it doesn't matter. From now on, I'll eat and drink here, and I won't pay. If you have any difficulties with your medical skills, I'll guide you."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Zhen Mi immediately knelt down and exclaimed.
This kowtow completely bewildered Shen Lang.
