บท 28: Misunderstanding (2)

"I apologize, Young Master James, if I irritated you just now. Please don't hurt my little sister or my dad because of that."

When Ye Wudi saw that James was using his martial skills and looked angry, he immediately got off Little Lion and bowed as he apologized, scared that James was angry because of him and would hurt his family.

James realized that he had made a mistake and just created a big misunderstanding. However, when he wanted to explain, he was surprised to see Ye Han, who came in front of him and instantly kneeled.

"Young Master James, please don't hurt my children. It is my mistake that I didn't teach them properly. Please punish me and don't harm my children." Ye Han was terrified and begged James not to harm his children.

Because he felt the skills that James released this time were stronger than before, even though not by much, they could already kill him several times with the skill that he used to kill the wind wolf, let alone the skills that James released just now.

After Ye Ling'er watched what her big brother and father did, she realized what had happened, and cried loudly.

"Wahhhhh... Big brother James, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you, and I was simply expressing my opinion. Please don't hurt my family, and of course, me too. I will even give you all of my candies, but please don't hurt us, okay?"

Ye Ling'er wiped her tears with her left hand while pulling out all of her five candies with her right hand and extended her hand to James.

James was laughing inside because of Ye Ling'er's action, as well as shocked by this situation. He had never been in a situation like this and was stunned, watching them silently because he was confused about what was happening.

'Are they really apologizing to me for real right now? Is this world so cruel that someone would kneel to show their apology?' James was speechless and immediately wanted to explain before it grew larger and attracted unnecessary attention.

"Wait, let me explain...." However, before James could explain why he was angry and used his skills, he sensed someone's aura of rank 4 approaching rapidly and immediately heard a notification from the system, as well as seeing someone from the direction that system indicated.

[Ding! Detected a Mid-level Rank 4 Elite Martial Warrior 100 meters east ahead.]

'Fucking hell, how could the situation develop this way?' James cursed in his heart.

"What happened right here? After a lion roared loudly inside the town, someone used powerful martial skills from this location. Can someone tell me what happened?" The person who came immediately spoke loudly.

The person who arrived was a skinny middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe and carrying a sword around his waist.

When Li Heng arrived, he was confused by the circumstances that were happening here.

Because he saw Ye Han, whom he knew in person, kneeling before a handsome young man while his children were doing something like they were apologizing to this young man.

He asked Ye Han, "Ye Han, what is happening right now?"

Li Heng's tone was that of someone inquiring gently rather than someone interrogating someone else.

Because in this world, you have to be careful enough to not offend someone that you shouldn't, and Li Heng was actually wary of James because of the situation that was happening right now, as well as because he couldn't detect James's cultivation level, and from the skills that had been released previously, even Li Heng himself felt threatened by them, and he could guess that these skills were released by this young man.

As for why Li Heng, who has a higher cultivation rank than James, was unable to detect James's cultivation, it was because James instructed Little Fluffy to always hide his cultivation rank, as it is one of the system's functions.

According to Little Fluffy's explanation of this function, even the strongest person in the world will be unable to tell James's rank, let alone a mere rank 4.

When Ye Han heard Li Heng asking him about what had happened, he was about to stand up and explain to Li Heng.

However, before he could say anything, he heard James speak in a loud voice, which caused him to freeze and sweat inside.

"Waittt, let me explain first, before the misunderstanding gets bigger." James spoke while looking at Li Heng and Ye Han consecutively.

"First and foremost, I wasn't angry with all of you three. I truly mean it, let alone harming your family, so please stop whatever you are doing right now.

As for why I previously unleashed the skills, I did so because I was indeed angry, but not because of you all, rather I received news that enraged me to the point of unconsciously releasing my anger. As for the news itself, I am sorry, but I can't tell you." James explained slowly.

"Second, I am really sorry for the disturbance that I caused this time, senior." James bowed towards Li Heng and apologized.

Following that, he bowed to Ye Han and said, "And lastly, I am really sorry for making a scene that caused all of you to misinterpret my actions. It was my fault for not thinking it through."

Afterward, James went to Ye Han, helped him stand up and said, "I am sorry for not stopping you earlier, as I was shocked and didn't know what to do, having never experienced something like this before."

James then approached Ye Wudi and patted his head. "I apologize for scaring you just now and for hitting you. It was just a joke, because I felt that we needed to go to Mortos City right away, and I don't like wasting my time on unnecessary things."

Subsequently, James came to Ye Ling'er, picked her up, and hugged her. "I am sorry, I made you cry. How about I compensate you by buying everything you want when we arrive in Mortos City?"

When Ye Ling'er heard that, she immediately stopped crying and sobbed softly, "Really? Will you buy me anything?"

"Of course."

"Okay then, I want a lot of candies!" Ye Ling'er informed me while sobbing softly.

James laughed when he heard Ye Ling'er's request and asked, "How many do you want? 5? 10? 20? I would even buy all the candies for you."

Ye Ling'er's eyes immediately lit up, "Really? Okay then, I want to buy all the candies in the stall."

Ye Ling'er smiled happily, and her saliva drooled unknowingly as she thought that she could have a lot of candy for herself.

With the conversation between James and Ye Ling'er, the situation immediately returned to normal.

"Let's leave right now, because we also need to do something on the way there." James said to Ye Ling'er and Ye Wudi.

"Senior, we will leave right away to avoid wasting any more time." James spoke to Ye Han and Li Heng.

"Okay, be careful on the way there. Remember to prioritize safety, and beware of everyone else, as the outside world is a cruel place. Most importantly, don't cause any trouble for Young Master James." Ye Han reminded kindly.

"Don't worry, they will be safe with me here."

James immediately instructed Little Lion to leave the town and head to Mortos City.
