Listening to the other party’s words, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and waved his big hand in front of the other party.
Under the illumination of the lights, Nan Xi finally saw clearly that it was a golden strand of hair, which looked very familiar…
This is… her hair!
Moreover, she didn’t feel anything when the other party made a move, which proved that this strand of hair should have fallen earlier.
What is this bastard up to!
“Alright, we are even. I just wanted to see your frightened look…”
Ye Cangtian shrugged, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
Nan Xi snorted, her expression improving slightly. She took a deep breath and looked at Ye Cangtian seriously:
“Xuan Qi, then I don’t owe you anything. Shall we start our decisive battle now?”
“Let’s skip it today.”
“You and I have both drunk a lot of wine and cannot be in our peak state. You wouldn’t want to determine the winner in this state, would you?”
Ye Cangtian slowly shook his head.
In fact, he never intended to fight Nan Xi. After all, a life-and-death battle with her was exactly what the Ninbu wanted to see, and he would not let the Ninbu succeed.
Hearing this, Nan Xi’s eyes quietly shifted. If they couldn’t be in their best state, she would not be reconciled, regardless of the outcome.
“Tomorrow night, meet me by the sea for a decisive battle.”
With that thought, Nan Xi left a word and turned to leave.
Looking at Nan Xi’s retreating back, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly, thinking: Dream on, I don’t have time to play with you!
Tomorrow, you’ll be blowing the sea breeze by yourself!
…
“Report!”
At Shangri-La Mansion, a Genin came before Guimu.
“Any news? Who died this time?”
As soon as Guimu saw her subordinate who was responsible for gathering information returning, she immediately perked up and quickly inquired.
But soon, as she listened to her subordinate’s report, a look of astonishment appeared on her face.
Nan Xi and Xuan Qi were actually having a verbal duel?
And they parted peacefully in the end?
This was truly beyond her expectations.
After all, wouldn’t enemies be extra furious when they met?
What were these two up to!
“Lord Guimu, there is one more piece of news.”
“According to reliable sources, Xuan Qi has already evacuated East Capital overnight. Furthermore, the Dragon Group has also requested to pick up Ye Cangtian…”
Guimu was stunned by this news.
Ye Cangtian was one thing, he was already crippled, and there was no use keeping him around.
But why did Xuan Qi leave just like that? What was he up to?
Most importantly, if Xuan Qi left, who would she instigate!
Guimu’s face was unusually grim, and she clenched her fists slightly, but it was useless. The people had already left, and she couldn’t chase after the Dark Association, could she?
And now, it was impossible to cooperate with the Temple of Light again. She had handed the guqin to the Dark Association, which was indirectly offending the Temple of Light!
Even if they cooperated, the other party would likely demand an exorbitant price, and the conditions would certainly be unacceptable to the Ninbu.
It seemed that this time, her plan had completely failed!
…
Kyoto, China.
A helicopter landed at the airport.
A moment later, Ye Cangtian, Gu Yue, and Shangguan Yun appeared in sight.
The act had to be complete!
At this time, Ye Cangtian was lying on a stretcher, carried down by Gu Yue and Shangguan Yun.
His mission had been successfully completed.
If he had lingered any longer, not only would Nan Xi not have let him go, but the Ninbu might also have made a move.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian decided to return by helicopter overnight.
Everything was ready at the airport, and Ye Cangtian was arranged to get into an ambulance and sent back to the villa to recuperate.
At the villa.
Tang Xinwan was not in Kyoto. After Ye Cangtian left a few days ago, she had returned to Yangzhou.
Therefore, there were only two maids in the villa.
Shortly after Ye Cangtian returned to the villa, Old Master Xu appeared before him.
“Heh heh, putting on a complete show. Since you are pretending to be injured and returning from a mission, it is not unreasonable for me, your leader, to come and visit you, is it?”
Old Master Xu said with a smile.
To put it bluntly, his visit was to cooperate with Ye Cangtian’s act, and at the same time, to understand the entire process of the East Capital operation in detail.
“Haha, it is reasonable.”
Ye Cangtian laughed heartily and quickly asked Gu Yue to make tea for Old Master Xu, while he began to report the entire process of the operation.
“You are truly a little fox!”
As he listened to the report, Old Master Xu’s face showed more and more admiration. He was very satisfied with the current outcome.
Firstly, the guqin had been rescued.
Secondly, Kawada Yuudou had been eliminated, and at the same time, some conflicts had been triggered.
Although these conflicts were not enough to cause the various forces to fight each other.
However, they had planted a seed of conflict in each other’s hearts. It was estimated that there would be no hope for them to continue cooperating.
Lastly, Ye Cangtian was faking his injuries, which would reduce a lot of attention on him and allow him to go to the Yin Group without anyone noticing.
It also reduced the risk of Xuan Qi’s identity being exposed.
With that in mind, Old Master Xu glanced at Ye Cangtian and continued, “Young man, what are your plans next?”
“I need to go to Yan Hua Xiao Yuan first to report the situation to the Dark Association. If there is nothing else afterward, I will go to the Yin Group.”
Speaking of this, Ye Cangtian looked deeply at Old Master Xu and, after a slight hesitation, asked, “Old Master, with the capabilities of the Dragon Group, you should have discovered Yan Hua Xiao Yuan long ago, right?”
Ye Cangtian had harbored doubts for a long time but had never voiced them.
Although he had some ability, he was still relatively unfamiliar with Kyoto, and Old Master Xu knew Kyoto like the back of his hand, so he must have been aware of the existence of Yan Hua Xiao Yuan.
If that were the case, why hadn’t Old Master Xu ordered the destruction of Yan Hua Xiao Yuan?
It was not only because Yan Hua Xiao Yuan housed a Xuan-level deacon of the Dark Association, but also because it was a contact point for a Dark Association organization.
Old Master Xu glanced at Ye Cangtian and smiled slightly, “It is easy to destroy this Yan Hua Xiao Yuan, but it is difficult to destroy the next one.”
In Old Master Xu’s view, the Dark Association would definitely try every means to gather intelligence in Kyoto.
If one Yan Hua Xiao Yuan was destroyed, the other party would surely find another contact point to secretly establish, and it would be difficult to find the newly established contact point for a while.
So, it was better to pretend not to have discovered it, so that everything would still be under control.
“Heh heh, Old Master, you are truly a deserving old fox…”
After understanding, Ye Cangtian directly gave him a thumbs up.
…
Night.
Two figures darted into Yan Hua Xiao Yuan and soon entered the basement of Yan Hua Xiao Yuan.
They were none other than Ye Cangtian and Gu Yue.
Or rather, they were Xuan Qi and Huang Jiu now.
“Greetings, Lord Lan Yue!”
As soon as they entered the basement, Ye Cangtian saw Lan Yue sitting upright in the main seat, with Xuan Liu by her side.
“Yes, you did well this time!”
Lan Yue glanced at Ye Cangtian, her face full of praise. She had already heard about the events in East Capital from Xuan Liu and Moli.
Although the best effect had not been achieved and they had not joined forces with the Japanese Ninbu, they had still done very well.
“Lord Lan Yue, I wonder where my little sister is. May I see her?”
Before Ye Cangtian could speak, Gu Yue on the side asked impatiently.
Until now, she had not seen Gu Qin, and her worried heart could not be put to rest.
Lan Yue nodded slightly and said, “Yes, but you need to be mentally prepared. Gu Qin’s injuries are very severe…”
Gu Qin’s injuries were very serious, especially those affecting her internal organs, which could easily leave sequelae.
To take a step back, even if she could recover, it was likely that practicing martial arts would become a problem in the future.
Hearing this, Gu Yue gritted her teeth, but nodded helplessly.
Although she did not know Gu Qin’s specific condition, she had some mental preparation. She only hoped that her sister would survive.
Seeing this, Lan Yue glanced at Xuan Liu, signaling Xuan Liu to take Huang Jiu to see Gu Qin.
