"Yesterday, someone from the Jinyiwei yamen came to call for Brother Kuan. I happened to be drying my clothes and vaguely heard the word 'Baihu' so he left in a hurry.”
"Last night when he came back, he seemed very uneasy.”
"Today, Brother Kuan said that he wanted to treat you to a meal. I saw that he was a little worried, as if he wanted to tell you something. He seemed to know the result, so he hid us in the well in advance and said that we would only come out after tonight.”
" Then I heard him talking to someone else…What happened next…"
Ye Huang, who had gotten the information from Sister Yan, was filled with killing intent.
"Little brother, drowning your sorrows in wine will only make you more melancholic. We still have to solve the problem.”
In the small tavern, a few players were drinking while Ye Huang and the burly man sat by the street.
At that moment, Ye Huang's hands were filled with wine jars.
"Brother, do you think it's better to be feared or respected by others when you wander the martial world?”
Ye Huang narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.
The burly man was stunned. He lowered his eyes and said indifferently,"Little brother is an Embroidered Uniform Guard. Isn't it the Embroidered Uniform Guard's principle to kill the wrong person and not let go? You have killed from the north to the south, and from the south to the north. There are very few sects in the martial arts world who dare to stand up and confront you. Now, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are becoming more and more prosperous.”
This answer was equivalent to giving Ye Huang an answer.
" Of course." Ye Huang smiled and said," The only way to protect yourself in the game is to make your enemies fear you or gain a name that's intimidating enough."”
If he wasn't a nobody but had a reputation, would others still dare to attack the people around him?
Even if he dared to, he would have to think twice and not be so unscrupulous now.
"Therefore, the martial world is nothing more than fame and fortune. Fame can make people revere it, and you can obtain status, while fortune is a derivative of fame.”
The burly man chuckled.
"Not bad."
Ye Huang nodded.
"Little brother, do you know who your opponent is?”
The burly man suddenly asked.
"You know about it?"
Ye Huang's smile disappeared. He straightened his back and gave off a murderous aura.
"I came here to investigate the sect, so I naturally know.”
"Tell me."
" Evil Spirit Sect, one of the seven great branches under Heavenly Evil Sect of the Three Evil Sects.”
Ye Huang's body shook as he suddenly recalled.
"Legend has it that the Three Evils and Three Fiends are comparable to the top sects of the Righteous Dao. They are actually the Heavenly Evil Sect's branch?”
Ye Huang frowned. He did not seem to have anything to do with such a huge monster, right?
The burly man leisurely drank the wine in his cup and said indifferently,"The Heavenly Evil Sect has some connections with the Zhuang Family in the Eastern Ridge City.”
Ye Huang was completely enlightened.
Niu Yang, Zhuang Family, Evil Spirit Sect.
Everything seemed to form a line.
"Since you came to investigate such a huge thing, I don't think it's simple, right?”
Ye Huang lowered his eyes and asked softly.
"Hahaha! I thought you weren't curious."
The burly man laughed loudly. Just his laughter alone caused many people in the tavern to cover their ears and turn pale with fright.
Pa!
A familiar jade token was pushed to the table.
It was the token of the Royal Guards!
" My name is Iron Cloud. I'm the Feng Dao Patrol Envoy of the embroidered-robed Long Weidong. I came to Westridge East City to investigate Evil Spirit Sect.”
He stared at Ye Huang with a smile in his eyes and said meaningfully,""To put it bluntly, we can be considered to be working in the same yamen.”
This time, Ye Huang was really surprised. The position of an inspector was very special in the entire Royal Guards Office. It was granted by the imperial authority and allowed the inspector to act first before reporting. The rank was not high, but the power was overwhelming. Even a commander-in-chief would have to give way to him!
More importantly, this person's surname was Tie. Among the four supreme families of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Tie family was ranked first!
This was indeed a very prominent identity. However, after Ye Huang got over the initial shock, he felt that it was dispensable.
So what if he was an investigator? When they drank together, they still called each other brothers. In the end, they were just people with a prominent family background.
Therefore, he only gave a flat 'oh' and did not ask any more questions.
"Little brother, aren't you shocked? You didn't say anything?"
Iron Cloud did not know whether to laugh or cry. Many people changed their faces immediately after knowing his identity. They wished they could bow down to him. None of them were as calm as Ye Huang.
But for some reason, seeing his attitude, he thought highly of him.
Only such a person is worthy of being my friend!
They were indeed friends.
People who could become drinking buddies would naturally become friends.
"Show? What did he mean? Lord Tie, you've been freeloading on my wine a lot. Logically speaking, I should be the one asking you for something. This little brother is already short of money. After being rubbed by you for so long, the family is almost out of money. Aren't you going to express it?”
Ye Huang stared at him with a faint smile.
Iron Cloud's expression changed from initial shock to embarrassment, and finally, it relaxed as he laughed.
"You, you, you're so calculative like a woman. However, if your surname was Ye and you didn't have such a generous attitude, I really wouldn't be willing to sit and drink with you.”
"Cheers."
Ye Huang smiled and raised his cup with a provocative look on his face.
"Good! Cheers!"
