Ye Qingchen didn't try to defend himself. With his low status and meager influence, causing a scene would only make him a laughingstock.
As for the humiliation, misunderstanding, and injustice I've endured today, I will repay it all one day. Clichés like "fortunes change over time" and "never underestimate a poor young man" are meaningless to say aloud anyway.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Ye Qingchen was about to step into the Teleportation Array, an aged voice interrupted his departure. He turned to see a stooped, filthy old man leaning on a walking stick, hobbling toward him. The old man's gaunt body and slow pace made it seem as if a single gust of mountain wind could blow him away.
What Ye Qingchen failed to notice was that when Wang Tong saw this old man, his expression tightened, revealing a hint of caution and apprehension.
