Chapter 487: Almost Starved to Death

Duan Zhang...Oh, that's right.

This seems to be the name of the current head of the Duan family, the person who invited me to dinner today.

Well, I really shouldn't have recognized it myself.

Yu Cang then stretched out his hand and shook Duan Zhang's hand: "Hello, I am Yu Cang."

Duan Zhang nodded deeply, and then said sincerely: "Before the banquet begins, I must express our Duan family's apology to you - you suffered a lot of grievances when you were in the imperial capital, and it was all because of my lax discipline. I apologize to you, and we I am willing to pay more compensation, but I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Yu Cang was noncommittal: "I accept the apology, but compensation is unnecessary. What happened back then is in the past, and I have nothing to care about now."

This is the truth... After seeing the Nameless Empire, many civilizations in the Roland Sky Realm, and the vast universe under the starry sky, it would be inappropriate if his eyes were still limited to this power struggle and he thought about revenge all day long. Reality.

only……

Yu Cang's eyes swept across Duan Zhang's face.

Is the head of this family in such a mess?

Why are the corners of my eyes swollen...as if someone had punched me.

It’s really busy with official duties.

Hearing Yu Cang's words, Duan Zhang's expression changed.

In this situation, what he fears most is that Yu Cang has no desires or desires!

"I know you look down on those worldly things... but the Duan family has been in business for a long time and has collected a lot of rare treasures. Many of them are rare and rare card-making materials, and there are also some unheard of things..."

"No need." Yu Cang still shook his head and refused.

If you want something, you can just go to the association directly. Why accept something from the Duan family... Could it be that the Duan family has something that not even the Yanguo Association can find?

If you take other people's things, you owe them a favor. Even if he is in a stronger situation than others, no one will say anything if he takes it casually, but he can't live with it.

Simply reject them all.

Hearing this, Duan Zhang's face became a little ugly.

It would be okay if Yu Cang was a little greedy, then there would still be room for manipulation and mediation, but if he has no desires or demands... then what can he do?

Nothing can be done!

The only thing he can provide to Yu Cang is some external things. As for his status and achievements...don't be kidding, even if the card makers he temporarily stationed together can't beat Yu Cang's paper!

There is no comparison at all!

He opened his mouth and was about to continue saying something, but looking at Yu Cang's expression, he put away those words.

He knew that buying Yu Cang was a dead end.

The previous Tianmen quota was successfully given away... but something like this happened to Tianmen, and the leader was Duan Zai!

How could he explain this?

This gift was given in vain, and it offended others, making the Duan family's situation even worse.

In today's situation, the Duan family is facing more trouble than just Yu Cang...and no one dares to save him!

The only one qualified to speak to save people... is Yu Cang himself!

Although it is hard to imagine, the young man in front of him does have the ability to decide the fate of a family with just one sentence.

Thinking of this, he put away those words and changed them to another one.

"Yu Cang... I also want to thank you for helping us subdue that scumbag Duan Zai..."

Yu Cang's expression remained unchanged: "Oh?"

"I just found out that Duan Zai is... a card banner." Duan Zhang looked serious, "After what happened in the morning, I immediately conducted a thorough investigation of the Duan family from top to bottom. Over the years, he didn't know How many wrong things have been done secretly with the help of the Duan family's power!

"It's all because of my lax discipline... But fortunately, thanks to you, I didn't find it too late. I'm not afraid of making jokes. I just fought with Duan Zai's remnants... I accidentally left a wound on my face. , makes you laugh."

"It's a good thing to be able to detect cancer." Yu Cang affirmed.

Duan Zhang swallowed.

Gone?

For so many years in charge of the Duan family, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation!

He talked there for a long time, but Yu Cang replied with a sentence or two, saying that it was not what he wanted to hear.

It’s so frustrating!

But he had to swallow his pride and try hard to find some more topics.

"I……"

Gululu...

An inappropriate voice came from the side. Yu Cang turned his head and saw that Qi'er immediately covered his mouth, with "not me" written all over his watery eyes.

But the girl covered it wrong.

Because he was covering his mouth, but the sound came from his belly.

The girl has been hungry all day with the two of them.

Yu Cang smiled, and then said to Duan Zhang: "Sorry, we are a little busy today, and we haven't eaten yet... Let's talk about it later, I'll go in and eat something first."

This was somewhat rude, but Duan Zhang could only swallow his next words.

There was no way, he knew what Yu Cang was talking about when he said "somewhat busy".

There is no way to elaborate on this, and if Yu Cang really wanted to talk about it, he would be even more sweaty.

"It's okay... Our chef has prepared the dishes. If you need anything, you can ask the chef."

"Okay, we will."

…

After Yu Cang left, Duan Zhang took a deep breath and clenched his fists quietly.

How many years has it been... how many years has it been since I have been so humble?

But there was nothing he could do.

During this period of time, the Duan family's property has been eroded to a great extent. If Yu Cang had not spoken, the Duan family's efforts over the years would have been ruined.

Is there any other way...think again!

Duan Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, at this time.

"The head of the family."

A figure came behind Duan Zhang, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"Third Master has left you a message."

Duan Zhang's expression remained unchanged: "Say."

"He said that he still has a back-up in the Desolate Sect. This time he prevented disaster for the higher-ups in the sect, so if he joins the sect now, he can have a good one..."

Snapped!

Before he finished speaking, Duan Zhang suddenly turned around and slapped the man on the face with a loud slap!

The slap was so powerful and heavy that the man was blinded. He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground!

Duan Zhang's eyes turned cold when he looked at him.

"Unexpectedly, you are also from Duan Zai."

"I...I'm not!" The man was a little panicked, "I'm just passing on what the third master said...and, and..."

"..."

Duan Zhang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He looked down at the man and said coldly:

"Card banners are all dirty bugs, and Huang is worse than a bug."

Squatting down, Duan Zhang pinched the man's collar.

"You want me to be a bug?"

"I……"

Snapped!

Duan Zhang threw the man aside.

"I missed a member of the party... take him with me."

This man was his confidant, before today.

Several people came out, and regardless of the man's begging for mercy, they used a few soul cards to restrain him and took him away.

Duan Zhang wiped his hands and came to the window on the side of the corridor.

He looked out the window at the night and fell into silence.

The Duan family... really can't escape this disaster?

Was it wrong from the beginning?

Suddenly.

Duan Zhang's clenched fists quietly loosened, and then he took out his personal terminal. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed a number.

Unexpectedly, this time, the number was connected quickly.

"..."

There was no sound coming from the other end of the phone, just silence.

Duan Zhang opened his mouth:

"Feng'er..."

"What's wrong."

"..."

Although the Duan family has entered the endgame.

But it seems... Fortunately, thanks to his previous moves, Duan Feng seems to have really known each other before and has a relatively good relationship with Yu Cang.

That's the plan for now... maybe letting Duan Feng speak up and plead with Yu Cang can still win a glimmer of hope for the Duan family.

But after hesitating for a moment, Duan Zhang took back his words.

Favors always become less and less the more they are used, and he knows this very well.

Since Feng'er was born, he has used Duan Feng's talent and Duan Feng's name to gather countless forces.

In the end...will it still be like this?

Pictures from the high school league flashed before his eyes.

He originally thought that he would only be happy when he saw Feng'er victorious in every battle and defeat all the geniuses along the way.

But in the end, I saw that Feng'er finally accepted his talent after many years, and finally lost the duel with his complete self... trying his best.

When he saw this scene, he was not as unhappy as he imagined. Instead, he was very proud.

Why? Obviously Feng'er lost and didn't even make it to the finals.

…

never mind.

Let the friendship between Feng'er and Yu Cang be more pure.

Duan Zhang's eyes fluctuated for a moment.

"It's nothing, I performed well yesterday."

Duan Feng: "..."

"...I'm sorry for all these years." Duan Zhang said, "You didn't have to go through this."

"What are you talking about now?"

"It's nothing." Duan Zhang said, "Just go away, I won't care about you anymore."

After speaking, Duan Zhang hung up the terminal without waiting for a response from the other end of the phone.

He raised his head and looked out the window at the night.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.

…

at this time

Linfeng Hotel, rooftop.

There was a busy signal from the terminal. Duan Feng put down his hand, but kept looking at the distant city night scene.

Tall buildings, lights like stars.

"It's beautiful."

"Yeah." Aqiu nodded, "It's beautiful."

"Duan Zhang actually called me." Duan Feng said, "You won the bet."

"Let's go then." Aqiu smiled, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

"……cut."

Duan Feng turned around, but made the most important decision in his life.

…

Yu Cang walked into the banquet hall. Before he could see where the food was, a figure had already approached him.

"Master Yu Cang!"

Wang Changzhi's mouth was full of oil and his mouth was full.

"You finally came!"

"Huh?" Yu Cang's face looked a little strange, "Why are you here?"

It felt absurd to see brown steamed buns in an international dessert competition.

"Thanks to Brother Qiuding!" (Chew Chew Chew) "If it weren't for him..." (Chew Chew Chew) "I would never be able to come to such a high-end place in my life!" (Chew Chew Chew)

"..."

"Master Yu Cang!"

Qiu Ding's voice also came from the side, and then he stepped forward:

"Today's banquet, many people from the 'four major families' came...all of them want to get to know you."

"That's it."

Qiu Ding chuckled: "Before I came, the Duan family leader grabbed me and talked a lot... He saw that I was close to you and wanted me to say a few good words to you."

"What do you think?"

Qiu Ding suddenly leaned closer and whispered: "But my father said... Don't worry about him, Yu Cang, our Qiu family didn't participate in that incident back then... Our cooperation with the Duan family is purely for profit, but we didn't do anything bad! We are definitely on your side!"

Seeing Qiu Ding's reaction, Yu Cang couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the so-called "Lingluo Qiuduan" four major families are now about to fall apart.

"Okay, then stop talking nonsense." Yu Cang said, "Where is the food? I've been hungry all day!"

"Ouch oh oh... Sir, this way!"

"Wait for me..." (chew chew chew)

...

As soon as Yu Cang entered the scene, many eyes were immediately locked on him, both openly and secretly.

Many young girls immediately adjusted their dresses, pressed their collars, and wanted to come forward consciously, but they would immediately meet a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

It was the woman next to Yu Cang!

This, this... Is this the legendary murderous aura?

It will kill people... If you take another step forward, it will definitely kill people!

Suddenly, the bodies of the girls froze immediately. After standing there for a while, they could only return to their seats in disappointment.

It's terrible... How can a girl's aura be so terrifying!

Their purpose is very simple, try to find opportunities to communicate with Yu Cang in depth, let Yu Cang feel at home, maybe he will like them, then they will not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

As for whether Yu Cang has a girlfriend... That's not a problem they need to consider.

Ordinary girls can't compete with them.

But this kind of murderous eyes... It's not within the scope of "ordinary"!

They are scared.

If they were caught with a sword in the future, they would probably die on the spot...

They could only curl their lips in dissatisfaction, trying their best to find the flaws of Gu Jieshuang in their hearts...but sadly they found that she was level 6.

And in terms of appearance...although Gu Jieshuang was bare-faced and without makeup, she was much better than those with heavy makeup.

After thinking about it, they could only complain about Gu Jieshuang's clothing.

Too bad! Country bumpkin!

Of course, there were normal girls who simply wanted to get to know Yu Cang, but when they saw the intimate Gu Jieshuang, they already understood and turned their heads away tactfully, and would not be so self-deprecating.

There were also many middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes who saw Yu Cang coming and wanted to come forward to chat with wine glasses, but Yu Cang was not idle all the way, and started to wolf down the dishes after taking them.

Luckily, I almost starved to death!

Looking at the posture...a group of people suddenly froze in their steps, wondering if it was okay to come forward to disturb him at this time.

…

Gu Jieshuang stood beside Yu Cang, looking around, her sharp eyes seemed to declare her sovereignty.

What are you looking at!

This, mine!

Don't get involved!

She was extremely glad that she agreed to Yu Cang to attend the banquet together.

Otherwise, who knows what will happen!

He didn't care about social phobia at this moment. Anyway, he had his aunt to suppress him, so others couldn't see it, so he turned on his aura and accurately locked all the malicious foxes on the field.

"Don't look at it, sister." Qi'er pulled the corner of Gu Jieshuang's clothes, "Sister, you must be hungry too, let's eat!"

"...Okay."
