On the other side, Ye Cangtian, successfully diverted by Yin Tao, quickly said, "So soon there are results? As expected of a quasi-Heaven rank expert! It seems I'll have to entrust such matters to you in the future!"
After a meaningless remark, seeing Yin Tao's face gradually turn red, Ye Cangtian hurriedly said, "Tell me about the situation?"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian poured a glass of water for Yin Tao and handed it over.
Seeing this, Yin Tao's expression eased considerably, and he then recounted the news.
Half Moon Hall had sent a total of twenty-one people this time, led by the Young Hall Master of Half Moon Hall, Fang Liang.
After entering Dragon City, they went directly to an inn and then began touring Dragon City. During this time, they did not contact or meet with anyone; everything appeared very ordinary.
As for the purpose of their visit, it was analyzed from their brief exchanges that they were here to cooperate with the Hidden Group.
However, Yin Tao did not find out the specifics of the cooperation.
But none of this was important. Since it was a cooperation, the other party would definitely take the initiative to contact Ye Cangtian, and then everything would be clear.
Therefore, Yin Tao gave up monitoring and returned directly to report.
Cooperate?
Ye Cangtian was stunned for a moment, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
Due to the pressure brought by the traitors of the Hidden Group, he really hadn't considered this possibility.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Yin Tao and said, "Yin Tao, since they are here to cooperate, then please work a little harder and protect them secretly!"
After all, there was still a Young Hall Master in their group.
With such a status, if anything were to happen to him in Dragon City, Half Moon Hall would likely not let it go.
Although Half Moon Hall was not as powerful as the Hidden Group, the Hidden Group was currently entangled with the Guangming Hall. If Half Moon Hall caused any trouble from behind, the losses to the Hidden Group would be immeasurable.
So, to avoid any accidents, it was better to protect them first.
"Ai!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's decision, Yin Tao couldn't help but sigh. He knew that as soon as he informed the other party of this news, the other party would arrange it this way.
But there was no choice. He still wanted to guard the Hidden Town, so he reluctantly agreed.
"By the way, there's one more thing, I don't think this Fang Liang is very reliable."
After a moment of hesitation, Yin Tao finally spoke his mind.
Huh?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at him questioningly and said, "What do you mean?"
"It's a matter between young people, and it's not convenient for me to say too much. You'll understand when you meet him. I'm leaving."
With that, Yin Tao gave a mischievous smile and left the courtyard.
"You!"
Ye Cangtian gritted his teeth fiercely. His appetite had been successfully whetted, but the other party wouldn't say more, which was truly frustrating.
...
For two or three consecutive days.
Ye Cangtian did not see the Young Master of Half Moon Hall, Fang Liang, but he did get a lot of news about him.
It was rumored that after arriving here, Fang Liang spent his days sightseeing and was not attending to business, which made Yin Tao extremely troubled, wishing he could appear and teach him a lesson.
But how could Yin Tao appear in person? Helplessly, he could only complain to Ye Cangtian every day.
It wasn't until the fourth day.
Fang Liang finally sent a subordinate to the headquarters of the Hidden Group, delivering an invitation letter to Ye Cangtian.
The invitation letter was filled with vulgar language, and the central theme was to invite Ye Cangtian to a banquet that evening.
To this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't see any sincerity.
But he had no choice, he had to attend.
After all, the other party represented a force. If he rejected them without even showing a little tolerance, then perhaps no force would come to cooperate with him in the future.
Helplessly, Ye Cangtian arrived at a restaurant in Dragon City at the time indicated on the invitation letter.
The entire restaurant had been booked, and four burly guards stood at the entrance.
Seeing Ye Cangtian holding the invitation, the guards immediately cleared the way.
Upon arriving at the second floor of the restaurant, Ye Cangtian's brow immediately furrowed.
The entire second floor was occupied by a single, oversized round table laden with fine wine and delicacies. Sitting at the opposite side of the table were three figures.
In the center was a young man, who looked quite handsome. Without a doubt, it had to be Fang Liang.
Sitting on either side of Fang Liang were two women, heavily made up and dressed ostentatiously, indicating they were women of pleasure.
"You are Fang Liang?"
Ye Cangtian looked at the man and couldn't help but frown. He stood in front of the man for a full ten seconds, during which Fang Liang was enjoying the service of the two women.
He was currently representing the entire Hidden Group, yet Fang Liang completely ignored him, which made a spark of anger ignite in his heart.
"Oh, you're here?"
"My apologies, I was captivated by two little fairies. Please forgive me!"
"You two, why aren't you going to pour a toast for this seat?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's voice, Fang Liang finally turned his gaze to Ye Cangtian.
Although it was their first meeting, the entire restaurant had been booked by him, and only Ye Cangtian could have come to the second floor.
So, he quickly patted the buttocks of the two women and reprimanded them softly.
Upon hearing this, the two women quickly stood up, holding wine glasses, and swayed towards Ye Cangtian.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian let out a cold snort.
*Pa! Pa!*
Hearing the cold snort and feeling the chilling killing intent emanating from Ye Cangtian, the two women's composure instantly crumbled.
They were merely women of pleasure and had never encountered such intense killing intent, so they were immediately terrified and dropped their cups.
"Heh, Lord Ye truly doesn't understand romance!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's anger, Fang Liang's expression changed, and he quickly gave a dry laugh to smooth things over, while also calling the two frightened women back.
Then, he made an inviting gesture and said, "Lord Ye, please have a seat. My hospitality is lacking, please don't mind."
One shouldn't hit a smiling face.
Although Fang Liang in front of him was displeasing to look at, the other party had been smiling all along, so Ye Cangtian couldn't say much and sat down.
His gaze returned to Fang Liang, and Ye Cangtian said faintly, "Since I've already come, there's no need for us to waste time. Let's get straight to the point!"
In such a situation, Ye Cangtian found it difficult to engage in lengthy conversations with him and decided to be direct.
"Haha, Lord Ye is truly quick-witted!"
Fang Liang laughed heartily, took a sip of wine, and then slowly began to speak, "I heard that the Hidden Group has been having a lot of trouble recently?"
"Just minor troubles," Ye Cangtian said faintly.
"The size of the trouble is not important."
"What's important is that the Hidden Group has guarded the Huaxia ruins for so many years, contributing effort if not merit. Now that there are troubles, our Half Moon Hall naturally won't stand idly by."
Fang Liang said this with a slight smile, waving his hand.
However, he stopped midway, as if to keep the other party in suspense.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian sneered inwardly and said, "The Hidden Group naturally welcomes people from all walks of life to assist in the battle, but I wonder how Half Moon Hall intends to participate and what kind of help it will provide to the Hidden Group?"
"It's very simple, Half Moon Hall will participate in the battle comprehensively."
"However, due to the restrictions of the grand formation at the entrance of the Hidden Group, it is difficult for Half Moon Hall to participate in battles in the outside world. But Half Moon Hall can be stationed in Hidden Town."
"Once the Guangming Hall breaks through the entrance defenses, Half Moon Hall will do its best to resist the enemy. What do you think, Lord Ye?"
In response to Ye Cangtian's inquiry, Fang Liang quickly stated his plan, crossing his legs and showing a meaningful smile.
He didn't believe the other party wouldn't agree to such terms.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian maintained a smile on his face, but his gaze became sharper.
Fang Liang, who appeared to be a playboy and a good-for-nothing, was in fact quite calculating in his words and actions.
The Hidden Group's main defensive focus was currently on the outer perimeter of the entrance.
Not only were there many experts stationed in the outer perimeter of the entrance, but there were also several Heaven rank experts. And in Hidden Town, at the entrance itself, there were a large number of Heaven rank experts stationed.
With such a configuration, how could the Guangming Hall find it easy to break through?
And Fang Liang's proposal completely bypassed the front-line battles, thus minimizing casualties, truly a clever calculation.
Most importantly, his statement made it difficult for Ye Cangtian to refute.
After all, some people had survived in the Huaxia ruins for too long and had forgotten the name Huaxia. It was understandable that they were unwilling to go to the grand formation at the entrance of the ruins.
