"Oh, that's right. I left my family to train my combat skills, so if there's an opportunity to take action, just leave it to me."
Bu Wei explained to the Elder in Yellow with a calm smile, ignoring the gazes of those around him.
"Oh~?" The Elder in Yellow raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. However, he didn't dwell on it much. He threw the black-clothed man, who resembled a dead dog, onto the ground and smiled at Bu Wei, saying, "Alright, I just interrogated him and already have the information we want. However, another person escaped quickly, and I couldn't catch up."
Bu Wei nodded upon hearing this; it was something he had anticipated. The Elder in Yellow's injuries had not yet healed, so capturing one person was quite impressive.
"Please, don't kill me! It was my fault; I shouldn't have attacked you... please don't kill me..."
The black-clothed man lay on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, his snot and tears flowing freely. He no longer exhibited the previous hostility and appeared completely submissive.
"If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn't have acted that way," Bu Wei sighed softly as he looked at the black-clothed man's desperate pleas. Then, under the varied expressions of those around him, he kicked the helpless black-clothed man fiercely without any regard for his pleas for mercy.
With a "crack," the man's chest caved in, his begging abruptly stopped as his eyes widened in shock before he breathed his last.
Bu Wei felt a surge of irritation and murderous thoughts rising within him. He immediately turned away from the corpse beneath his feet and took a few deep breaths to suppress the dark thoughts in his heart.
"Ding"
"System Notification: You have killed a low-level Human Martial Apprentice—Andy Clayton. You gained 10 Experience Points; total Experience Points: 10."
"System Notification: Character meets upgrade requirements; character has leveled up. All negative statuses have been removed, physical condition restored to optimal state. You received upgrade rewards: Randomly allocated attribute points: 10 points (allocated). Free allocation of attribute points: 10 points (unallocated)."
A beam of white light suddenly shone from Bu Wei's body, as if he were bathing in a warm spring. He felt his entire body become light and relaxed, the demonic agitation within him calming down once more. His muscles and cells seemed to be filled with energy.
It felt as if a Source of Life had washed over him, making every cell in his body pulse with vitality.
His muscles became tighter and more elastic; his veins grew tougher, throbbing with life; his entire body, including his mind, was strengthened.
He awoke from this intense pleasure, feeling as if he had just taken a drug, floating in bliss and completely relaxed.
He turned his head to scan the crowd, still showing traces of the comfortable ecstasy in his eyes.
Everyone looked at him with confusion, as if questioning why this Fellow stood frozen after killing the man in black, only to then display a look of comfort and excitement.
He awkwardly touched his nose.
Through their gazes, he guessed that his recent behavior seemed strange to them.
However, he also noticed that no one seemed to have noticed the burst of white light when he leveled up. Or perhaps they simply did not see the sudden flash of light.
This realization relieved him; after all, he did not want others to discover the secret of the Upgrade System.
Clearing his throat a couple of times, he explained to the still-skeptical crowd, "Um, it's like this. After I killed that man in black, I felt my long-stagnant power bottleneck suddenly loosen. So, I smoothly broke through the bottleneck and advanced to Low-Level. Therefore... cough cough..."
He awkwardly coughed a few times and then noticed that the previously skeptical expressions on everyone's faces had become even more exaggerated.
Everyone stared at him in shock and disbelief. The two young men displayed a mix of shame, envy, and astonishment that shifted across their faces like a juggler's changing masks.
Meanwhile, the two Female Relatives and Locke looked at him with expressions of shock mixed with congratulations and admiration.
In the end, it was the Elder in Yellow who first regained his composure, albeit with a somewhat dazed expression.
He chuckled awkwardly a few times, his face stiff from shock as he bitterly smiled and said, "Young sir, to have achieved Low-Level strength at such a young age truly makes this old man feel embarrassed. Hehe, indeed… exceptional talent… exceptional talent." At this point, the Elder in Yellow felt a deep bitterness in his heart and shook his head repeatedly in lamentation.
The two young men, realizing they had lost their composure, now looked at Bu with complex expressions. Their jealousy had faded, and they joined the two young women in congratulating him.
In response to everyone's congratulations, Bu smiled graciously, his demeanor elegant and his speech polite and modest. He was neither arrogant nor servile, displaying an extraordinary humility. He was a stark contrast to the fierce and reckless image he had during battle; he appeared as a refined nobleman, a gentleman of grace.
Such poise and charm left the two beautiful young women secretly impressed. With bright eyes, they stole glances at Bu's chiseled features, their hearts racing like startled deer. Blushing furiously, they quickly lowered their rosy cheeks.
Bu Wei smiled and thanked everyone for their kind words before speaking up, "Are you all heading to Sparta City? If so, why not travel together? I also intend to go to Sparta City, as I have some matters to attend to there."
Before anyone else could respond, a girl with long blue hair exclaimed excitedly, "Yes! Our family is located in Sparta City. If you are also going there, you must stay with us for a few days."
As soon as she said this, the blue-haired beauty felt a pang of regret for being too forward and impudent. Her face turned crimson with embarrassment.
She quickly added an explanation, "Oh, it's just that our family has some influence in Sparta City. Since you saved us this time, we must repay your great kindness. So please do stay with us for a few days when you arrive; we would love to host you."
After finishing her explanation, the girl sighed in relief. The bright eyes beneath her delicate brows sparkled again with a smile as she looked at Bu expectantly.
Seeing the stunning beauty before him, Bu Xin felt some fondness and smiled as he replied, "If it’s not too much trouble, I will visit after I finish my business in Sparta City. May I ask for your family's name?"
"Aydra, our family is the Aldra Family, easily found in Sparta City. We are considered one of the prominent families there. Our family head is currently the executive officer of Sparta City and holds the title of count; he is my father."
The Blue-Haired Girl spoke cheerfully and quickly, clearly delighted that Bu agreed to visit her family.
"Oh~" Bu Wei exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that this young lady's family was actually a powerful presence, with the head of the family being a count, which is a high rank among nobles. Moreover, he also served as the executive officer of Sparta City, holding significant real power, making it even more remarkable.
In Crook Duchy, there are many nobles, but most of them are merely granted noble titles and a piece of land without any further substantial rewards.
Nobles with real power are few and far between; these nobles mostly reside at the top of the pyramid in Crook Duchy, considered the real power holders aside from the Duchy Royal Family.
"I didn't expect that you are actually a daughter of a wealthy family. I will definitely pay you a visit later," Bu said with an appropriately surprised smile, then seemed to realize something and turned to the Blue-Haired Girl to ask, "May I have the honor of knowing your name? Oh~ True God above, please forgive my boldness; this is a basic courtesy among nobles."
Bu You elegantly placed her right hand on her chest and performed a standard noble greeting, her posture and steps perfectly executed.
Previously, Bu had practiced basic noble etiquette under Locke's guidance. Later, when encountering the Elder in Yellow and two young men, she observed their noble gestures and compared them with her own movements for correction. She had completely mastered this fundamental way of greeting.
Despite this, she was entirely unaware of more complex noble customs regarding outings, banquets, and social interactions.
As an aspiring and ambitious vampire, this was quite unacceptable.
Bu decided that after arriving in Sparta City, she would thoroughly catch up on knowledge in this area. After all, having come to this world, she needed to integrate herself into it.
"Hehe, my name is Wendy," the Blue-Haired Girl said with a tinkling laugh. Her large blue eyes sparkled like crescent moons as she happily introduced herself, resembling a cheerful lark.
"Wendy... Wendy... what a lovely name! It suits you perfectly—Timeless Beauty; truly pleasing to behold," Bu murmured as she lightly repeated the Blue-Haired Girl's name, gradually revealing a smile of admiration.
“Timeless Beauty, is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder? Is this poetry?” The Blue-Haired Girl smiled lightly at Bu's admiration, feeling both joy and curiosity within.
“Oh, yes, this is a type of poetry from Ancient Times. It is likely that very few have survived to this day. I came across it while browsing through my family's ancient texts. Seeing your captivating beauty today, I couldn't help but express my admiration.”
Bu blushed not and his heart raced not as he spun another tale, pulling a line from the Yuefu Commentary to fabricate his words.
“The Bards of Ancient Times are truly talented,” the Blue-Haired Girl exclaimed, her enchanting eyes sparkling.
“Alright, Second Sister, we should set off back to the family soon. Given that such a terrible assassination attempt occurred during this trip, it would be wise to leave as soon as possible to avoid any further incidents. This young man will accompany us on the journey, and you will have time to continue your conversation.”
The Elder in Yellow approached the Blue-Haired Girl, speaking respectfully, and then offered an apologetic smile to Bu.
Bu maintained his smile and nodded gently to the Elder in Yellow, then turned to the Blue-Haired Girl: “Sister Wendy, let’s depart early. We can chat more on the way.”
Seeing her agree with a smile, Bu nodded politely to the others before turning and walking towards the carriage.
