Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 722: Chapter 287: Knocking on Li Xiangyang, Longing for Yangshan

Liang Yuan’s cold demeanor was intentional.

With his powerful perception, he naturally sensed that just now, Li Xiangyang’s thoughts were impure, lacking the reverence he had when he first met him.

He could also guess that it was probably because Li Kuirong’s crew was completely wiped out, giving Li Xiangyang a breath of relief, thinking that Meishan now only had his family to dominate.

So, he started acting pretentious, thinking he could put on airs.

He actually dared to act like a gangster in front of him.

Liang Yuan naturally wouldn’t show him a good face, responding icily, his Spiritual Power releasing an imposing atmosphere.

In an instant, Li Xiangyang snapped back to reality, thoroughly sobering up.

The person in front of him, after all, single-handedly slaughtered Li Kuirong’s gang and destroyed all the superpower users at Yunquan Temple.

This is no kind-hearted person; trying to be buddy-buddy with such a person and acting like a gangster was really stupid.

So, he immediately corrected his attitude, stood up, and became respectful.

Beside him, Zhang Rongrong also thought of this, her face turning slightly pale as she stood up nervously, following behind Li Xiangyang.

Liang Yuan didn’t keep them, watching coldly as they left.

Yang Youwei saw this scene and was once again impressed by Liang Yuan.

Just now, Liang Yuan was drinking and chatting with him, talking about everything under the sun, being very amiable and humble.

But this scene let him see Liang Yuan’s commanding presence as the leader of Yangshan Shelter and the terrifying aura of a top superpower user.

He looked at his daughter again and couldn’t help feeling that his daughter’s luck was really good to have met such an outstanding man.

He hesitated a bit and asked, "Li Xiangyang and his group, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Liang Yuan put away his cold expression, showing a smile, "Uncle Yang, don’t worry about this; my people will come to handle it in due time."

Li Xiangyang’s abilities are good, his combat power noteworthy.

However, over at Yangshan, there are many people stronger than him.

Li Xiangyang’s superpower should be of the Light Attribute, and he had no means to cope with Spiritual Power.

So, whether it’s Liu Feifei or Gao Jie, bringing a group of people, they could easily trap him.

Plus, close combat experts like Zhao Kai, Ding Yan, Cheng Pengfei, and Shi Haizhu—honestly, the superpower users in Meishan really have no fighting strength to speak of.

Therefore, if Li Xiangyang doesn’t correct his attitude in front of himself, Liang Yuan won’t indulge him in the slightest.

Li Xiangyang and Zhang Rongrong retreated to a distance, both of their faces somewhat pale.

When they were shrouded by Liang Yuan’s aura earlier, they really felt like they were facing a terrifying mutant monster.

Zhang Rongrong couldn’t help but say, "Brother Xiangyang, he... seems to have no good feelings towards us?"

Li Xiangyang took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in his heart, "I was overthinking it just now. Li Kuirong and his men’s death made me a bit too conceited."

"I nearly forgot, it was he who killed Li Kuirong."

"His strength far surpasses all of us; we lack reverence for him."

Zhang Rongrong frowned, unable to help saying, "I thought he was a good person, does he really need to be like this..."

Li Xiangyang smiled bitterly and shook his head. In these times, are there really any simple good people left?

Simple good people have probably all died out by now.

He said in a deep voice, "Don’t speak carelessly. After all, he saved us, and we don’t even know him that well."

"What about the Firebird thing?"

"Let’s investigate it for now. I’ll invite him alone tomorrow morning and see if I can persuade him to help us."

Zhang Rongrong could only nod upon hearing this.

...

The next morning, Liang Yuan got up from his couch, with Yang Mei still asleep beside him.

He got up and came to the courtyard; it was still drizzling.

The air carried a slight chill.

Liang Yuan looked up at the sky, the clouds still thick, extending endlessly.

His gaze held a hint of probing, wanting to see what was above those clouds.

Unfortunately, the terrifying thunderstorms above the clouds made him hesitate, unable to see through.

"Mr. Liang, up so early?"

Old Cripple greeted Liang Yuan from the shed not far away across the courtyard.

There were also quite a few people in the shed getting up to start cooking.

Liang Yuan smiled slightly, nodding towards Old Cripple, "Morning."

At this moment, Li Xiangyang stepped out of the room next door; seeing Liang Yuan, he quickly displayed a smile, respectfully saying, "Mr. Liang, good morning."

Liang Yuan gave him a glance, nodding slightly, "Mm."

Seeing Liang Yuan respond to him, Li Xiangyang felt a burst of joy in his heart and quickly said, "Mr. Liang, about yesterday, please forgive my behavior. I was just too elated over Li Kuirong’s crew’s destruction, and got a bit carried away."

"I acted inappropriately in front of you; I sincerely apologize."

Liang Yuan said indifferently, "You’re not my subordinate; you don’t need to talk about propriety with me."

Li Xiangyang quickly said, "Mr. Liang, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong. Please, you have a big heart, I hope you could forgive me."

Liang Yuan looked at him; this guy certainly knew when to yield, softening up quickly.

He asked, "Go on, what is it?"

Hearing this, Li Xiangyang felt a burst of joy, knowing that last night’s matter was past.

He immediately said, "Mr. Liang, yesterday we captured a few people, and interrogated them in the courtyard; you saw it too."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "Mm, who are they?"

"They are the leaders of several small shelters on the island. We learned from the people of Yunquan Temple that Li Kuirong had contacted these people, planning to unite them to deal with us."

"If it wasn’t for you killing Li Kuirong and his crew, Jieshi Academy would’ve been doomed long ago."
