284: I, Yang Yucheng, acted! Why should I explain to others?

"Young Master! Why?"

Bai Shengjie's heart was filled with unwillingness. She clenched her fists and questioned loudly from behind Yang Yucheng.

At this moment, she seemed like a neglected young wife, abandoned by Yang Yucheng, her Face full of sarcasm, but her eyes also revealed deep sorrow!

"Heh heh!"

Yang Yucheng sneered coldly.

"I, Yang Yucheng, have always acted as I please. Why should I explain myself to others?

I won't say it a second time. Get back to your Steward Hall! No, the Steward Hall won't tolerate you either!

I will explain thoroughly to Senior Brother Jiang Tianran that his niece is truly troublesome. You are expelled from the Steward Hall!"

Yang Yucheng said coldly again, directly announcing his decision regarding Bai Shengjie.

Yang Yucheng also believed that Jiang Tianran would give him some Face.

Although both Bai Shengjie and Jiang Tianran, the strongest in the Steward Hall, used lightning techniques, what did it matter? Yang Yucheng would not fail to realize that.

Their relationship, while possibly familial, should not be from the same Family.

Otherwise, why would their surnames be different?

And offending Yang Yucheng for such a distant relative was not a wise move.

Among relatives, if there's a useful connection, it's a bonus. But if it's useless, or even harmful, it's no better than a stranger.

In fact, they would be eager to distance themselves, which was the truth.

"Still not leaving?"

Yang Yucheng spoke again. He Zimu led his group of Inner Sect Disciples and quickly followed.

So, in this Dragon Lair Treasure Land mine, as night deepened, only the abandoned Bai Shengjie remained.

During the day, she followed by Yang Yucheng's side, enjoying great prestige.

But as night deepened, abandoned by Yang Yucheng, her once bright future and promising prospects all vanished, and all of this was due to her own cleverness.

Returning to the previously ornate pavilion, Yang Yucheng rested well on the second floor.

For tonight's events, the Steward Hall had to give him a reasonable explanation; otherwise, he wouldn't let it go!

"All of you!"

On the first floor of the pavilion, He Zimu, despite his serious injuries, had basic mobility.

So, even if his strength wasn't at its peak, his sharp gaze fixed on his trusted subordinates, the Inner Sect Junior Brothers who usually followed him, still made them all lower their heads, not daring to meet his eyes, not even for a moment!

"What happened? You sent out a distress signal, so why didn't any of you come forward?"

He Zimu spoke heavily.

When he appeared, he had already done everything necessary on the outskirts of the mine. Since he and Yang Yucheng had already known that Wang De was acting strangely, how could they have gone forward alone?

But he didn't expect such a result.

If not for Yang Yucheng's vast Divine Ability, both of them would already be corpses, meeting the same fate as Wang De, who was placed outside this pavilion.

Seeing He Zimu's interrogation,

the many Inner Sect Junior Brothers immediately explained; they certainly didn't want to end up like the abandoned Bai Shengjie.

"It was Bai Shengjie who instructed us. Upon receiving the distress signal, we naturally went immediately, but we met Miss Bai halfway, so we temporarily stopped.

Senior Brother, Miss Bai said that Steward Lord and you, Senior Brother, had important matters inside, so we needed to wait a moment and not disturb your enjoyment.

That's why we stayed here silently waiting. If we had known it was this matter, we would never have listened to Miss Bai's one-sided story!"

At this moment, He Zimu listened to these explanations. He didn't believe them, but with his eyesight, he could still generally make a decision, a qualified judgment!

"Alright, go down for now. We'll talk tomorrow!"

He Zimu spoke softly. After so many years, he wouldn't misjudge everyone!

One Wang De was already enough!

"Yes! Senior Brother He Zimu!"

As He Zimu spoke, these Inner Sect Junior Brothers all breathed a sigh of relief and retreated quickly, eager to leave this place.

What happened tonight was truly intense!

Each of them also wanted to catch their breath!

In the early morning, the rooster crowed, breaking the silence.

The sky was not yet fully bright; it was just past dawn.

But Yang Yucheng was already awake, opening his eyes.

Yang Yucheng raised an eyebrow, sensing a movement. He pushed open the window and looked out, the scenery of the Dragon Lair Treasure Land entering his sight.

And on the ground in front of the first floor of the pavilion, Bai Shengjie knelt. She looked travel-worn and weary.

If he guessed correctly, she must have been kneeling since last night, kneeling for an entire night, and at this moment, Yang Yucheng was not the only one awake.

Last night's Inner Sect Disciples, as well as Outer Sect Disciples, including nearby miners, all began their work.

But most people passing by pointed fingers at Bai Shengjie.

"Kneeling for so long, could she have done something wrong? Did she cheat on someone? Or was she with another man!"

"Miss Bai, such a good girl! Steward Yang Yucheng is truly heartless!"

"Alright, hurry up and go! These words must never be heard by the Inner Sect Senior Brothers, otherwise, we'll be in big trouble!"

On the ground floor of the pavilion, as people passed by and glanced, they saw the young girl Bai Shengjie in a emerald green dress, her beauty captivating, her Face filled with deep sorrow and profound repentance!

Her long, raven-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, slightly disheveled. Who among those passing by wouldn't pity her? Who wouldn't feel sorry for her?

But most people forgot another truth: those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them!

Yang Yucheng glanced at her, then withdrew his gaze, casting Bai Shengjie from his mind. When a person makes a mistake, they must pay the price.

Bai Shengjie was no exception, and neither was he, Yang Yucheng!

Yang Yucheng got dressed, finished his ablutions, and sat on the first floor of the pavilion. He picked up the already prepared breakfast and began to eat in small bites.

After feeling a warm sensation in his stomach, Yang Yucheng finally got up and left with He Zimu, who had just arrived.

He Zimu followed to Yang Yucheng's left. As they passed Bai Shengjie, his expression remained unchanged, just like Yang Yucheng, as if he had a heart of stone, cold and ruthless!

... Arriving at the Steward Hall, Yang Yucheng met Jiang Tianran.

Jiang Tianran's expression showed no change upon seeing Yang Yucheng, as if Yang Yucheng's presence here was perfectly natural.

If Yang Yucheng had truly been captured by The Purple-Clad Steward with Triangular Eyes last night, that would have been a joke!

Such a person probably couldn't handle anything important!

Yang Yucheng raised his hand. From within his black sleeve, he first took out the bronze ice coffin, this top-grade spirit artifact, and placed it in the center in front of the Steward Hall's council chamber.
