Hearing Brandon's words, the Pope's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.
After all, it had been difficult enough to get the Chinese forces to agree to the Radiant Hall entering the Chinese ruins. How could he let this effort be in vain now?
Thinking this, the Pope quickly said, "Tell me in detail, don't miss a single word!"
Yes!
Brandon quickly gave a detailed explanation of the day's events.
Hearing this, the Pope's eyes darted around, feeling both annoyed and amused.
Ye Cangtian's words were clearly spoken out of anger, and he said them merely to demand benefits.
Imagine, such a powerful and esteemed person haggling for benefits over a few telegrams, wasn't that laughable?
Thinking this, the Pope slowly spoke, "Brandon, continue arranging with him tomorrow, offer him some benefits..."
"Yes!"
Having received the Pope's instructions, Brandon responded and then hung up the phone.
Damn, this Ye Cangtian is truly something! Even His Holiness the Pope was extorted by him...
...
The next morning.
After breakfast, Ye Cangtian received a call from Xu Weiwei.
The content was simple: Brandon had arrived at the family compound, waiting to meet Ye Cangtian again.
Ye Cangtian simply acknowledged this, then unhurriedly sent Tang Xinwan to the branch company. Seeing that there was nothing else, he then went to the family compound.
Seeing Brandon again, Ye Cangtian could tell at a glance that the other party was different from yesterday.
Today, although Brandon still looked like an old man, he was much more energetic, and his brows were filled with confidence.
His demeanor gave Ye Cangtian the feeling that the other party had found a winning bargaining chip.
"Greetings, Mr. Ye."
Seeing Ye Cangtian slowly approaching, Brandon quickly stood up and cupped his fists in a bow to Ye Cangtian.
"Mm, no need, sit down."
Ye Cangtian waved his hand, gesturing, and then sat down himself, before asking, "Brandon, after thinking all night, have you come up with anything?"
"Thanks to Mr. Ye, I have gained a little insight," Brandon quickly replied.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Ye Cangtian smiled and looked at the other party.
Upon hearing this, Brandon quickly said, "Previously, the actions of our Radiant Hall were too aggressive and our words were arrogant, causing misunderstandings with our Chinese allies. Here, on behalf of the Radiant Hall, I apologize to Miss Weiwei and all my colleagues."
As he spoke, Brandon stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed to Xu Weiwei.
"..."
Xu Weiwei was stunned by this.
She wondered why he had suddenly brought her into the conversation when things were going well.
Most importantly, she found it difficult to accept an elderly man bowing to her.
"Heh heh, Brandon, it seems you've truly gained some insight overnight."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian's face showed a satisfied smile, and he continued, "But this is not enough! If apologies were useful, what would be the point of police? Don't you agree?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Ye is right."
Brandon nodded repeatedly, then said, "To express the apology of the Radiant Hall, I have some small gifts here, and I hope you will accept them."
As he spoke, Brandon took out the Qiankun bag he was carrying, then stepped forward two paces and handed it to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian briefly inspected the Qiankun bag. It contained a few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills and some purple crystals, and nothing else.
Although the items were few and didn't catch Ye Cangtian's eye, he was doing this for Xu Weiwei.
Now that the other party had apologized and presented gifts, it was enough.
The next moment, he looked at Brandon and said indifferently, "I hope the Radiant Hall remembers this lesson. If there is a next time, it won't be so easy to get away with it..."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Brandon's eyes lit up at these words, and he repeatedly agreed. Then he said, "Mr. Ye, now that this matter is settled, when can we enter the Chinese ruins?"
"Anytime."
Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and continued, "However, since it's a team, the size cannot exceed a hundred people, and it must be reported in advance."
"No problem, I will relay Mr. Ye's wishes back."
Brandon quickly agreed.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Alright then, have the Radiant Team go directly to the entrance of the Hidden Group. I will be waiting there.
Remember, besides the Radiant Team, I do not want to see any trace of the Radiant Hall in the capital!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I will take my people to withdraw immediately."
"And I also guarantee that there will be no trace of us in the capital..."
Brandon quickly agreed to this and then scurried away from the family compound.
Only then did he feel a sense of relief. The mission was finally over, and he wouldn't have to face that terrifying star anymore!
Meanwhile, after seeing Brandon off, Ye Cangtian glanced at Xu Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, I'll be leaving soon. I'll leave the capital to you. If anything comes up, contact Nanxi and Gui Wu."
Xu Weiwei nodded, "Okay, don't worry."
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian didn't linger any longer. He said goodbye and headed to the Fireworks Courtyard.
...
Fireworks Courtyard.
Lan Yue was lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun, her slender hands gently stroking the black cat.
After a short while, the black cat suddenly stood up, then darted out.
Lan Yue was immediately stunned, her gaze flickered over, and she saw the black cat had arrived at a man's feet, affectionately rubbing against his trouser leg.
"Junior brother, you're here?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded, walked forward, and sat down directly, saying, "Senior sister, is Master here? I have something to ask him."
"He's not, but I can contact him," Lan Yue replied.
"Alright, then help me contact Master and tell him about our situation, and ask him to stay in the capital to enjoy himself, and also to look after Xinwan and the Dragon Group..."
Ye Cangtian quickly made arrangements. After all, the Radiant Hall was not to be trifled with. Who knew if the Radiant Hall would play any dirty tricks during the cooperation?
And if he wasn't in the capital at that time, relying on Gui Wu and Nanxi alone, it would be difficult to deal with the Radiant Hall.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian had no choice but to shamelessly ask Elder Zhou for help.
"Okay, I'll contact him later."
Lan Yue's lips twitched, but she eventually agreed. Only Ye Cangtian, as the direct disciple, dared to do such a thing. Others wouldn't dare to order Elder Zhou around!
Thinking this, Lan Yue changed the subject and said, "Junior brother, who are you planning to bring with you to explore the Chaos Seal with the Radiant Hall this time?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced over and immediately noticed Lan Yue's expectant gaze. How could he not understand?
After a moment of silence, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "I originally planned to go alone, but I might be too busy. Senior sister, do you have any recommendations?"
"You're annoying, you're asking the obvious!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian gradually reveal a mischievous smile, Lan Yue immediately rolled her eyes and raised her small fist, about to get angry.
Haha.
Ye Cangtian chuckled and said, "Just kidding, my second reason for coming here is to have Senior sister pack up and leave with me tomorrow morning..."
"Hmph! That's more like it."
Hearing this, Lan Yue snorted, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
...
The next day!
With the roar of a helicopter, Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue had arrived at the peak of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As the two of them leaped down, they soon landed in the cool Xilong Abyss.
The next moment, when Ye Cangtian emerged from the Xilong Abyss, he indeed saw guards holding weapons waiting around the Xilong Abyss.
However, when they saw Ye Cangtian, they uniformly sheathed their weapons. They were very familiar with Ye Cangtian.
"You kid, you always make such a fuss. You have no public spirit at all!"
As soon as Ye Cangtian brought Lan Yue ashore, Bai Zhenshan walked up and glared at Ye Cangtian reproachfully.
Every time Ye Cangtian came, he would jump from the cliffs, causing everyone to be on edge, which truly left him speechless.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian chuckled and said, "Senior, I was afraid my brothers would get bored and become lazy!"
