"Ha, wildflowers are certainly fresh, but do you think the flower picker has the ability to pick them all?"

Jiang Yueming smiled contemptuously and retorted decisively.

Huang Yuyuan's words now truly disgusted him from the bottom of his heart. Wasn't he just acting so recklessly because he was the second son of the Lord of Yanjing City and had the strength of an alchemist?

If we changed his position, let's see how arrogant he can be then?

Just because his father flaunts his wealth everywhere, he really seems like a typical example of a rich kid.

"Alright, alright, Jiang Yueming, I'm too lazy to answer your questions."

Huang Yuyuan looked at Ye Mo and said with a smile, "Since Miss Ye is willing to be a dancer, then I will wait for you in Shengjing City."

"As for you, working as a servant in the dance hall isn't out of the question."

Huang Yuyuan's few words seem to determine the fate of others, demonstrating the control the upper echelons have over lower-level web crawlers.

After all, the advantage is in his hands now. If anyone is to blame, it's Jiang Yueming for being too soft-hearted. If he had just ignored these commoners, how could things have escalated to this point?

However, although Huang Yuyuan said this, he did not actually make any attempt to refine pills for those people.

He was waiting, waiting for Jiang Yueming to kneel down and kowtow!

He was certain that Jiang Yueming would agree to the previous request in order to protect Ye Mo, otherwise he would not be able to protect either of his weaknesses.

A rare moment of silence descended upon the void, as if everything had quieted down. Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the distance, carrying a cloth flag that fluttered past the inn. The flag, the inn's symbol, unfurled fully amidst the rustling sounds, bearing only two black characters.

Everything goes smoothly.

Ye Mo's beautiful eyes flickered, realizing that Huang Yuyuan seemed to have no intention of refining medicine. Her red lips were about to open when she was interrupted by a heavy voice.

"I admit it, Huang Yu-Yuan, you win."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Mo looked at Jiang Yueming in surprise. She couldn't believe that Jiang Yueming would say such a thing. Wasn't this a clear sign that he was bowing down to Huang Yuyuan?

"Jiang Yueming, you don't need to feel so wronged," Ye Mo said after thinking for a moment.

After all, the whole thing started because he saved the girl first, which is why he got caught up in this mess.

In the vortex, Jiang Yueming was the one who was hurt the most. He did everything he could, but he was in trouble and ridiculed by others just because of her.

Jiang Yueming turned to Ye Mo and shook his head, a warm smile on his face, and said, "This kneeling will save the people from suffering and also allow you to stay true to yourself, killing two birds with one stone."

"Isn't it good?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo frowned and sighed softly.

Jiang Yueming is right. It is indeed a win-win situation, but there are always gains and losses. What is lost today is the carefree spirit in the young man's heart.

Soldiers who had won a battle were forced to kneel and apologize to the enemy, which was undoubtedly a huge humiliation.

However, this is exactly what Huang Yuyuan wanted. Since Jiang Yueming has put it this way, he absolutely cannot avoid kneeling today.

"Young Master Jiang, please kneel down."

Huang Yuyuan stepped forward and stood straight in front of Jiang Yueming, a broad smile on his face.

As soon as Jiang Yueming kneels down, these lowly people will be filled with fear, and they will have to think twice before they dare to resist.

Even Jiang Yueming, who was suspected to be Li's son-in-law, had to kneel down and kowtow to him in the end.

Furthermore, this act of kneeling allowed Ye Mo to see reality clearly, revealing who truly has the ability to give her a sense of security.

However, Huang Yuyuan was clearly overthinking this. If Jiang Yueming really knelt down, Ye Mo would not only not look down on him, but would feel even more sorry for him.

Furthermore, Huang Yuyuan's image in Ye Mo's mind directly transformed into that of an enemy, with absolutely no goodwill towards him.

Ye Mo had considered going to a dance studio, just as Huang Yuyuan had said, to sell her art but not her body.

However, due to the pressures of life, she had no choice but to bow to reality. Besides, she had never let her guard down against Huang Yuyuan. If Huang Yuyuan really had bad intentions, she wouldn't mind sending him to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures.

"You can kneel, but Ye Mo can't stand here."

Jiang Yueming looked up at Huang Yuyuan and suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuyuan smiled and casually shook his head: "Alright, I'll give you face."

After saying that, he turned to the side and waved his hand in a gesture of invitation, intentionally letting Ye Mo sit in the chair behind him.

Ye Mo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Yueming before finally walking towards the wooden chair.

It wasn't that she didn't want to stick to her requirement of being a dancer; it was just that she suddenly realized that Huang Yuyuan had clearly promised her to refine pills for the people, but hadn't taken immediate action.

Because Huang Yuyuan had always wanted to make an example of Jiang Yueming to establish authority among the common people, it was futile no matter how much Ye Mo agreed to become a dancer.

Huang Yuyuan held their weakness firmly in his hands: the common people.

However, Huang Yuyuan's actions were truly outrageous, and Ye Mo would never let them off easily.

"You'll remember this! You've humiliated him so much today; one day I'll make you pay!"

Just as Ye Mo and Huang Yuyuan were passing by, a cold yet murderous voice entered their ears without missing a single word.

Zhao Hao and Wang Ben's expressions immediately froze, because they had fought with Ye Mo before and knew how formidable this woman was.

Perhaps one day she can make them all pay an extremely heavy price.

However, Huang Yuyuan was completely unconcerned about Ye Mo's threat and turned to continue watching Jiang Yueming, waiting for a good show of kneeling down.

After seeing Ye Mo sit down, Jiang Yueming glanced back at the people kneeling on the ground.

Their eyes were filled with tears and hope. Although they dared not speak, Jiang Yueming could still see gratitude in their eyes.

However, this was not what Jiang Yueming wanted. His kneeling was not only a sign of submission to Huang Yuyuan, but more importantly, it would deepen the fear of the people towards the powerful and influential.

I'm afraid that no one will stand up to resist anymore, and they will be completely reduced to lowly reptiles kept by the upper class and forever locked in a dark cage.

"well"

Jiang Yueming sighed softly and was about to kneel down when a figure flashed in front of him, causing him to pause.

"Hey, it'll look better if you hold this in your mouth while kneeling," Huang Yuyuan said, handing the brown porcelain bowl to Jiang Yueming with a slight smile.

Swish!

Upon seeing the porcelain bowl, Jiang Yueming gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Huang Yuyuan by the neck, staring intently at him like an enraged beast. The distance between them was no more than half a finger's width.

Huang Yuyuan was clearly not expected Jiang Yueming to react so strongly. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and his pale face was like a blank sheet of paper.

"Master! Jiang Yueming, what are you trying to do!" Li Jianwen took a closer look and realized that something was wrong. He immediately stepped forward to save Huang Yuyuan.

At the same time, Zhao Hao and Wang Ben were also anxious. Their bodies were enveloped in killing energy, and their target was Jiang Yueming's brow.

"Jiang Yueming! Let go of your dirty hands!!"
