Chapter 617: Chapter 296 The End of the Wretched Old Man_2

What would be the consequences?

The young man’s heart had not considered this much.

…

The incident between the young man and the elderly happened in just an instant.

Those on the street who had stopped to watch the scene unfold now couldn’t help but widen their eyes in shock.

In their eyes, there seemed to be a trace of surprise.

...

It seemed they were astonished that someone dared to strike another within the inner city of Qingshi City.

Those government officials who had been approaching from the start were now sprinting even faster toward the scene.

However, due to the distance,

even if the government officials exerted all their strength to rush over,

it was estimated that they would not be able to prevent the young man’s punch.

…

“Young Family Head.”

“Shall we stop this farce?”

On the edge of the street,

in a secluded area devoid of other people,

Luo Yao, who had left the Luo Family Ancestral Land to take a short stroll, stood there silently.

With squinted eyes and a rather serene expression, he watched everything unfold before him.

In fact, he had been quietly watching the drama from the moment it began.

He knew the ins and outs of the entire affair all too well.

It was roughly a matter of an old man consistently provoking a young man,

seemingly with the intent to extort a sum of money for medical expenses.

Although Luo Yao had not ventured out of the Luo Family Clan lands much recently,

he was crystal clear about such matters.

You see, Luo Yao was once considered the greatest profligate within the Luo Family.

Actually, if truth be told,

Luo Yao wasn’t really what you might call a true profligate.

He just enjoyed playing around, spending money,

and, well, beautiful women.

Nevertheless, despite all this,

Luo Yao never forced anyone into doing something they disliked.

All his actions were consensual,

otherwise, not to mention passing his own moral test,

he wouldn’t even pass his father’s.

“Stop it?”

Hearing the black-clothed cultivator beside him, Luo Yao couldn’t help but smile wryly, then immediately responded, “You mean save that old man’s life?”

Regarding this,

the black-clothed cultivator just silently bowed his head, offering no reply.

“You’ve seen the whole event,”

Luo Yao glanced at the silently brooding, black-clothed man beside him,

sighed with a touch of helplessness,

and then said in a low voice, “Since you’ve witnessed it from start to finish, you should be very clear that this whole scenario is the old man’s own doing. For every action, there is a reaction; his incessant mockery led to the current situation.”

“Since everything the old man is reaping is what he’s sown,

why should we get involved?”

After saying these words,

Luo Yao turned and left without a word,

quietly departing the street that seemed to have paused in time for a moment.

He walked away slowly, hands clasped behind his back,

towards a direction even farther away.

The man in black, exuding a cool aura,

lifted his head as Luo Yao turned to leave,

watching the disheveled old man from a distance with an expressionless face,

as well as the young man who clenched his right fist,

even pouring all his strength into it.

The black-clothed man sighed with a hint of resignation,

shook his head gently,

and gradually disappeared from the street, quietly following behind Luo Yao.

…

Following Luo Yao and the protective black-clothed cultivator as they left,

the incident between the foreign young man and the ragged old man soon came to a conclusion.

In a fit of irrational fury,

The young man delivered a punch directly to the temple of that wretched elder.

Although the young man’s strength was not so great that a single punch could blow up the elder’s head.

Yet, that punch, filled with all the strength of the youth’s body.

Was enough to kill the elder with a single blow.

Afterward, the patrolling government officials quickly arrived on the scene.

Upon checking and after finding the elder’s breathing and heartbeat had both stopped.

The officials surrounded the young man.

In the end, of course, the officials took the young man into custody and imprisoned him.

What would be the outcome for this young man?

This would depend on how the local officers decided to judge the case.

In all likelihood, the young man was expected to pay with his life for the life taken.

Even though the wretched elder had provoked him first.

But the young man had struck first and directly killed the elder, which had now become an ironclad fact.

The killer is always in the wrong.

Of course, if the killer were a member of the Luo Family.

That would naturally be a different matter altogether.

Usually, the law reigns supreme.

But in front of the Luo Family of Qingshi City, the so-called law becomes worthless, nothing more than empty talk.

Under the suppression of absolute power, all laws become void.

…

The show was over.

After leaving, Luo Yao strolled alone through street after street, much like a wastrel young master.

“Young master, young master, come up and have a look.” @@novelbin@@

On the edge of the street.

The women of Cuihua Building, with their seductive figures and scanty clothes.

Were now waving their silk scarves, softly calling out to Luo Yao, who was idly roaming the streets.

Hearing those familiar yet somewhat strange calls, Luo Yao’s eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze seemingly filled with reminiscence.

This feeling was so familiar…

However, it was a pity.

He was no longer the person he once was.

Nowadays, he wouldn’t even deign to give places like Cuihua Building a second glance.

Let alone consider going in to spend any money.

Of course, if that little tail sent by the Family Head to “protect” him, which in actuality was to monitor his every move, would go away.

He might consider paying a visit to that so-called Cuihua Building.

It’s important to note that Luo Yao was not lecherous, unable to walk away at the sight of a woman.

The main thing was, women who fell into the dust often had the hardest lives.

And if he could help such women, he would try to offer as much assistance as possible.

“Young master, won’t you really come up?”

“Won’t you keep me company for a chat?”

Up in Cuihua Building, the alluring women wearing thin clothes beckoned to Luo Yao once more.

But this time, Luo Yao did not heed the call of those “poor women.”

Without turning his head, he walked silently away with his hands clasped behind his back.

It seemed that Luo Yao now truly exuded an upright aura.

…

In the blink of an eye,

The time had come to noon.

Wandering around for quite a while and feeling a bit tired and hungry, Luo Yao.

Casually found a restaurant that seemed to be doing brisk business.

And walked in with his hands behind his back.

The restaurant attendants, upon seeing Luo Yao,

Immediately showed a beaming smile.

Although they did not know what status Luo Yao held.

The attendants were clear on one thing:

That gentleman was definitely out of the ordinary.

Therefore, they needed to serve him well.

If they made that gentleman happy, he might even reward them with some silver coins.

“Lotus seed paste cake, lotus seed paste cake, lotus seed paste cake…”

“Is there really a shop selling lotus seed paste cakes inside the city walls of Qingshi City?”

“How come I haven’t seen one despite wandering around for so long?”

“It doesn’t make sense…”

Inside the restaurant, Luo Yao sat waiting for his food while muttering to himself.

He even frowned slightly in confusion.
