It wasn't intentional; he had been extremely busy these past two days. In his busyness, he had forgotten. If Xuan Niao hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have remembered.
"Fine."
Xuan Niao then contacted his father and informed him of the location. After setting the time for the afternoon, he returned to Ye Longlin's side to wait.
If Bai Qi came here today, he was destined to die. There was no need to even think about it; he wouldn't survive today. Of course, there was a chance of survival if he was smart enough to bring people with him.
Half an hour later, the walkie-talkie on the table crackled to life.
"Mr. Ye, there are three people at the entrance. They say they are your friends. The one who claims to be Bai Qi said to let him in. What do you think?"
Three people?
"Let them in."
Ye Longlin said directly, a playful glint in his eyes. Three people, excluding Bai Qi, meant there were only two others.
Did he have too much confidence in himself to dare bring two people to see him?
Soon, led by the villa manager, they arrived at Linfang Villa.
Only then did Ye Longlin realize that the two people Bai Qi brought were Fist Demon and Red Lotus Demoness.
No wonder he dared to come here with those two. He hadn't expected Bai Qi to bring them along. But it didn't matter. The Ye family members had already arrived, and Bai Qi was only one person. Taking him down would be easy.
Bai Qi, Bai Qi, you are truly a good teammate.
He shot Xuan Niao a look. Xuan Niao instantly understood his boss's intention and took out his phone to send a message.
Perhaps the Fist Demon had guessed it, but without evidence, it was hard to be certain. The Red Lotus Demoness also appeared to be on Ye Longlin's side for now.
"Ye Longlin, Commander of the Three Armies, I've heard much about you. I truly didn't expect the legendary Commander of the Three Armies to be so young."
Bai Qi cupped his fists and laughed heartily, his face beaming. It was unclear if he had guessed Ye Longlin's thoughts.
"Yes, and I didn't expect you to be able to get two Ba Shen Tians to be your bodyguards. I am truly impressed."
Ye Longlin's words were somewhat pointed. After all, the Ba Shen Tians were core figures of the Dark Hall. Having two core figures act as his bodyguards was indeed questionable.
Frankly speaking, it was a provocation of their relationship.
"Hehehe, little Long, Bai Qi is a very important person to us right now. The Hall Master has given orders, so I can't refuse, can I?"
Hearing this, Ye Longlin immediately understood. It wasn't that they were willing to be bodyguards, but that the boss behind the Dark Hall had given the order.
Furthermore, this sentence revealed an important piece of information: Bai Qi was currently a key figure to them!
Why was he important?
Perhaps it was because Bai Qi controlled tens of trillions of the Dark Hall's assets. That was no small sum!
"Since you're here, please have a seat and try our tea."
Xuan Niao acted as the tea master, taking down a pack of Sparrow's Tongue from the wall. As soon as it was opened, Bai Qi spoke, "I prefer black tea."
Xuan Niao snorted coldly and directly poured the Sparrow's Tongue into the cup, saying irritably, "Drink it or don't."
Upon seeing the Red Lotus Demoness, Xuan Niao became very displeased.
Bai Qi: "..."
"I also want to know, why did Marshal Ye summon me today? It seems that a person like me has no connection with Marshal Ye."
Bai Qi said indifferently, not panicking at all with the two Saint Realm powerhouses, Red Lotus Demoness and Fist Demon, by his side.
"How can you say there's no connection? We are now in an antagonistic relationship."
Ye Longlin said with a smile, a playful smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The animosity was clear!
"If that's the case, since you already know, why did you still call me out for tea? Since we are already enemies, is there any need for us to meet?
Moreover, our business war has already begun. However, I am very curious why you all remained silent yesterday. I am also very curious about what you intend to do."
Bai Qi spoke slowly, his gaze calm. He then looked at Xuan Niao and chuckled, "Mo Xuan Niao, one of the Four Vajras of the Dragon Pavilion and one of your confidantes. However, you now only have three people."
Xuan Niao said solemnly, "Drink, or die."
Bai Qi was immediately choked, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"I want to know why you called me here."
Bai Qi then said, his gaze slightly focused.
"To invite you to your death."
Bai Qi's expression changed instantly. The Fist Demon behind him tensed up at the same moment, becoming completely vigilant.
With those four words, an aura of killing intent filled the entire space!
"Heh heh."
"I admit, you are indeed very strong, capable of crushing me with a flick of your hand. But Marshal Ye, please don't forget, I have two Saint Realm powerhouses by my side. Even if you are a Saint Realm powerhouse, you might only be able to protect yourself against them."
Bai Qi was not worried at all. To put it bluntly, with the protection of the two Ba Shen Tians, what did he have to fear? At least he didn't have to worry about his safety.
Ye Longlin said nonchalantly, "If these two were not by your side, you would be worse off than an ordinary person."
As his words fell, Ye Longlin snapped his fingers. With the sound of the snap, red dots landed on Bai Qi's vital points.
Forehead, neck, temples!
Even more absurdly, a drone slowly descended outside the river, its gun barrel pointed directly at Bai Qi.
"..."
Bai Qi was instantly speechless. They had truly decided to kill him!
"I told you it wasn't a good day to go out. Now, it seems I might lose my life here."
Bai Qi spread his hands and sighed.
The Fist Demon said nothing, only his eyes, filled with killing intent, stared fixedly at Ye Longlin.
"Little Long, you really can't kill him. Sister already told you, he is a key figure now. If he is killed, Sister might be punished by the Hall Master. Do you want to see Sister punished?"
The Red Lotus Demoness giggled, a smile playing on her lips. Clearly, she also wished for Ye Longlin to kill him. If he were to make a move, she would definitely help.
"What does your business have to do with me?"
"If I want to kill him today, even Jesus cannot stop me, let alone you two."
"Have you two heard of the Profound Ye Family?"
As the words "Profound Ye Family" were spoken, the Fist Demon's expression turned visibly grim.
"You called them?"
This was the first time the Fist Demon had spoken today, and he was also very shocked by this news.
If the Ye family had indeed arrived, any one of them could kill Bai Qi here!
Bai Qi asked curiously, "What is the Profound Ye Family?"
The Red Lotus Demoness giggled, "It is a force that can ensure you die here."
