At the Hidden Group's branch at this time.
Ye Cangtian had learned of everything and was currently helping Hu Qing neutralize the effects of the Spirit Sealing Pill on his body.
Before long, the effects of the Spirit Sealing Pill were all absorbed by Ye Cangtian. He then took out some more pills to help Hu Qing quickly recover his strength.
Approximately two hours later.
Hu Qing's strength had recovered to its peak. He opened his eyes, looked at Ye Cangtian, and quickly cupped his hands in a bow.
But before he could speak, Ye Cangtian helped him up and asked, "Where are the other brothers from the Hidden Group?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Qing quickly replied, "Those who can keep their mouths shut are working in the current branch. Some have defected to Dragon Roar Villa, and those with firm resolve have been taken back to Dragon Roar Villa…"
This was also his doing.
If he hadn't repeatedly tried to escape, he would still be imprisoned with his brothers.
Later, Dragon Roar Villa had no choice but to take everyone else back to Dragon Roar Villa as hostages, threatening to act against them if he tried to escape again.
Seeing this, Hu Qing, for the safety of his brothers and having been captured multiple times after attempting to escape, finally gave up the idea of escaping.
"It's alright, I'll rescue those held at Dragon Roar Villa. Let's get out of here first."
Ye Cangtian nodded, said this, and then turned to leave the room.
When he arrived at the courtyard gate, several guards immediately turned around and blocked the entrance.
"Kid, you dare come here, you must have some skill! Perhaps we can't stop you!"
"But I still want to advise you, we are people of Dragon Roar Villa. For Hu Qing, do you think it's worth offending Dragon Roar Villa?"
The guards did not attack directly. They weren't foolish.
Hu Qing had walked out with the other person, so they were clearly going to leave. With their cultivation levels, they would likely be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They didn't want to be beaten for no reason, or even lose their lives.
Therefore, these guards tried to persuade Ye Cangtian to stay willingly through their words.
"Whether it's worth it or not is my business, you don't need to worry about it."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the guards and continued calmly, "The problem now is, are you going to let us pass!"
The guards heard this and were not flustered. He pointed a large hand at Hu Qing and said, "Kid, you'd better ask Hu Qing. He escaped so many times, and in the end, he's still locked up here, isn't he? You're still young, I advise you to consider your future!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. He couldn't be bothered to argue with these people, and directly strode towards the gate.
Seeing Ye Cangtian's actions, all the guards understood his choice.
They exchanged brief glances, and finally, the leading guard said, "This is the path you've chosen. I hope you won't regret it in the future."
As he spoke, the guards moved aside to open the gate.
Their task here was to watch Hu Qing and report everything that happened here to their superiors.
Now that they encountered an irresistible existence, they didn't want to risk their lives and reported the matter to their superiors as quickly as possible.
As for anything else, it would be handled by those above.
Seeing the guards move aside, Ye Cangtian revealed a faint smile.
This was the first time he had encountered people from Dragon Roar Villa who knew how to act wisely since arriving in Frost City!
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, Ye Cangtian stopped.
Several people rushed out from the Hidden Group's branch. These people were not from the Hidden Group but wore the attire of Dragon Roar Villa.
Among them was Hong Da, the guard he had disciplined at the city gate.
At this moment, Hong Da also saw Ye Cangtian and Hu Qing at the gate.
He quickly said to Xu Changfeng, "Captain, look, they're trying to escape!"
"Hmph! You come here and still want to run?"
Xu Changfeng sneered, then looked at the guards at the courtyard gate and reprimanded in a low voice, "Is this how you guard?"
As the voice reached them, the guards at the gate trembled. Then, without a word, they surrounded Ye Cangtian and the others.
There was no other way. Xu Changfeng was a captain of Dragon Roar Villa, far beyond their capabilities.
Now that Xu Changfeng had caught them red-handed, if they didn't perform, they would be in trouble!
Besides, with Xu Changfeng here now, bringing many guards, they felt enough courage.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, surrounded by the guards, showed a disdainful smile and calmly waited for Xu Changfeng to approach.
He had seen this kind of scene many times, where the father came out after the son was beaten.
After a short while, Xu Changfeng finally stepped forward. He sized up Ye Cangtian from head to toe, his brow furrowed.
"Young man, you're quite young!"
"I heard you beat my subordinate. Is that true?"
Xu Changfeng asked indifferently. Although he couldn't sense Ye Cangtian's aura, in his opinion, how high could the cultivation of such a young person be?
Therefore, at this moment, he truly did not take Ye Cangtian seriously.
"That's right, I did discipline them."
"What? Do you want to get face for them?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at Xu Changfeng and asked with a cold laugh.
"It's good that you admit it."
Xu Changfeng smiled slightly and continued, "Then tell me your background. Perhaps I have some connections with your elders, and I can reduce your punishment accordingly."
"Heh heh, you are not worthy of knowing my background!"
Ye Cangtian's smile disappeared, and his disdain intensified. He continued, "As for my elders, you are not qualified to associate with them either!"
What an arrogant brat!
Xu Changfeng's face turned completely grim, and his gaze became more menacing. In terms of age, he was also considered an elder to Ye Cangtian.
He did not expect the other party to be so ill-mannered and give him no face at all.
"Captain, he's too unappreciative, we can't indulge him!"
Hong Da, standing beside him, quickly said.
At this moment, he was beaming with joy inside.
The more Ye Cangtian blustered, the happier he became, because it was like he was courting death.
"Shut up."
Xu Changfeng reprimanded him and looked at Ye Cangtian again, saying, "Since you refuse to speak, I can only apprehend you. However, in that case, you might have to suffer a little."
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian's disdain was still evident. He glanced at the other party and said, "You? You are not worthy of my effort."
After speaking, Ye Cangtian directly looked at Yao Bao'er.
"Uh…"
Feeling his gaze, Yao Bao'er was instantly stunned. Ye Cangtian's words meant he didn't want to make a move himself, but why was he looking at her!
She was a non-combat member!
Thinking about it, Yao Bao'er seemed to remember something. She wasn't just a simple non-combat member; it was just that in normal circumstances, some battles didn't require her intervention.
In fact, she had participated in some battles in the outside world.
However, most of them were forced by Ye Cangtian, who, under the guise of good intentions, called it training her self-protection abilities.
So, this time, Ye Cangtian wouldn't have the same idea, would he?
Thinking of this, Yao Bao'er was somewhat nervous. After all, the other party was not a minor character to her, and she hadn't fought for a long time.
So, if a fight really broke out, she might not be an opponent.
"Junior brother, I'm over here…"
Just then, Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. She initially thought Ye Cangtian had mistaken someone, perhaps asking her to make a move.
But after Ye Cangtian turned around and sensed the look in his eyes, she realized that Ye Cangtian truly intended for Yao Bao'er to make a move.
So, the half-spoken words she was about to say were swallowed back hard.
Although Yao Bao'er's combat strength was lower, Ye Cangtian must have his reasons for doing this, and with them around, Yao Bao'er would be in no danger.
"Bao'er, these small fry are for you to deal with."
"If you can't handle them, then you won't have any snacks on future trips!"
Ye Cangtian's voice sounded again, and Yao Bao'er's expression immediately fell. Ye Cangtian had always kept his word.
Next, Yao Bao'er reluctantly walked out. There was no other way; for the sake of snacks, she had to give it a try!
However, as she stepped forward, she muttered, "You damn boss, you only know how to bully me. I shouldn't have come out with you…"
