Chapter 740 - We Will Meet Again
The woman in purple gazed at Ye Ling with curiosity in her eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could detect a subtle hint of admiration deep within her pupils.
"The moment you made your move against Yun Chen, I knew your secret!"
Ye Ling's pupils suddenly constricted, and a cold murderous intent exploded forth!
"Oh? What of it!" Ye Ling's voice was chilling to the bone.
The woman in purple smiled faintly and said lightly, "Although I do not know your origin, I believe that if I were to expose your secret, it would surely bring disastrous consequences upon you!"
Ye Ling's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes flickered with an even darker intent to kill.
He loathed being threatened by others. If that was the case, he truly did not mind making an example out of someone.
If the fact that Ye Ling possessed the body of a Holy Dragon were to leak, it would likely bring him trouble, considering he had more than one enemy.
"You can try!" Ye Ling said coldly.
"Hehe, can I take that as a threat?" A trace of amusement reappeared on the woman in purple's beautiful face.
Ye Ling's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile, "You can think that!"
"Then by all means, try, and see if I'll be scared of you. I believe that if I blow this matter wide open, your troubles will be far from trivial!"
The woman in purple wore a smirk, seemingly very disdainful of Ye Ling's threat.
Ye Ling's expression instantly darkened; he did not know exactly what kind of trouble the woman in purple was referring to.
But if he wanted to avoid these unnecessary troubles, keeping the woman in purple at this place might be a good choice!
Ye Ling's eyes narrowed, and at the next moment, his aura as a mid-stage Saint exploded unrestrainedly, overwhelming the woman in purple with its oppressive force!
"Boom!" Around the woman in purple, tables and chairs shattered into pieces!
Ice and fire, two utterly different powers, burst from Ye Ling's body, instantly lowering the temperature of the entire private room by several degrees.
Seeing Ye Ling suddenly erupt with such a terrifying aura, the hearts of sisters Xia Qing and Xia Xue raced violently.
They had never imagined that Ye Ling would dare to make a move against an envoy!
Envoys held a position higher than any family head throughout Disaster Star.
The background of the envoys was incredibly strong, belonging to one of the eight major forces from the satellite, a satellite family, which was not just any ordinary family, but supported by a super huge family.
If Ye Ling offended the families from the satellite, he would face the pursuit of an entire family, and his genius status would be irrelevant.
Facing Ye Ling's lethal strike, the woman in purple smiled slightly, a look of 'just as I thought' appearing on her face, as if she had anticipated this all along.
And suddenly, something resembling an ejection device appeared on her clothing, she smashed through the glass and escaped outside.
"My name is Gu Li. I believe we will meet again!"
As soon as her words fell, Gu Li's figure disappeared from the private room, vanishing with astonishing speed.
Ye Ling's expression darkened instantly to the extreme; he had not anticipated that Gu Li would use a jetpack to slip away right under his eyes.
This strike had filled Ye Ling with confidence, and even a middle-rank Saint would have been instantly killed by him.
However, Gu Li vanished without a trace eerily, and the speed of the jetpack was so ghostly that even Ye Ling could not capture its existence.
Not having killed Gu Li this time meant that once she leaked his secret, it would bring endless trouble to Ye Ling!
"Hu!"
Subsequently, Ye Ling slowly exhaled a breath of murky air and turned to look at the Xia sisters.
The Xia sisters had been stunned by Ye Ling's astonishing performance just now; now coming back to their senses, they looked at Ye Ling with eyes full of shock.
"Number One, you, you actually dared to make a move against the Special Envoy?" Xia Qing's mouth had almost dropped open in an O shape, incredulously asking Ye Ling.
And Xia Qing's words also resonated with Xia Xue; the two nodded simultaneously, their eyes fixed firmly on Ye Ling.
"There's nothing strange about it, I attacked her because she threatened my safety," Ye Ling shrugged casually and said.
After hearing Ye Ling's explanation, the Xia sisters shook their heads in disbelief, looking at Ye Ling, "You, you actually dared to attack the Special Envoy; aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the satellite powers?"
"The Special Envoy is born superior and is the most valued successor of the satellite family. Her status is much higher than that of ordinary people; how dare you provoke her, I think your brain must be waterlogged?" Xia Qing shook her head disparagingly.
Ye Ling slightly furrowed his brows at Xia Qing's words and shook his head, "Born as humans, I think everyone is equal; there's no one higher or lower."
"Such thoughts of yours are merely debasing yourselves!"
After hearing Ye Ling's words, the faces of Xia Qing and Xia Xue became extremely colorful, standing dazed on the spot, their minds continuously echoing Ye Ling's words that all humans are born equal!
The faces of Xia Qing and Xia Xue displayed a shock, staring dumbfoundedly at Ye Ling, speechless for a long while.
Such thoughts were impossible for the people of Disaster Star, who recognized clear social hierarchies, yet Ye Ling just said it so plainly.
"In this world, there is no such thing as social hierarchy. Living in this world, everyone should have their own set of values."
"We cannot change our actions for someone; we are a group of people, and we need to live for certain things; those are our values, not some hierarchical distinction!" Ye Ling said slowly, his words plunging the Xia sisters into silence and undoubtedly subverting their values and view of life!
"Let's go, let's quickly leave this place!" Ye Ling said softly, looking at the rather messy private room.
Xia Qing nodded her head, took Xia Xue by the hand, and followed behind Ye Ling, sprinting towards the door.
After setting the time for the mission with Xia Qing and Xia Xue, Ye Ling circled the area several times as usual, ensuring there was no one following, before finally returning home.
Meanwhile, Gu Li returned to the Wang family, her pretty face now filled with excitement she could not hide.
Fortune favors the persistent; she had finally found the person who attacked Yun Chen!
