Outside the room.
Seeing Xuan Sanqi open the door, everyone immediately rushed forward.
But in the next moment, a chill ran through all their hearts.
Although Xuan Sanqi wore a mask, it was like a pig’s head wearing a mask, the mask appeared particularly small, and could not cover the swollen parts at all.
“What are you looking at, all of you, get lost!”
“No need to work!”
“Damn it, Lv Fang, stay and be an assistant to Lord Poxiao, everyone else must fully cooperate with his work, I’m going back to the mansion to rest for a few days!”
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Xuan Sanqi became angry. He gave a simple order and left the branch.
Since Xuan Qi had become a prefecture-level steward, he had to show some respect in front of everyone. Otherwise, if he was caught with a handle, he would also be in trouble!
At the same time, he believed that these brothers would understand his meaning and would ‘actively’ cooperate with Xuan Qi’s work.
Seeing Xuan Sanqi leave, everyone scattered. Lv Fang hesitated for a moment at the door, then finally walked into the office.
As Xuan Sanqi’s confidant, he naturally understood Xuan Sanqi’s intentions. Having him assist Poxiao was to monitor Poxiao’s every move.
“Subordinate Lv Fang, greetings to Lord Poxiao.”
“I presume Your Lord has heard Lord Xuan Sanqi’s words. May I ask what orders Lord Poxiao has!”
Lv Fang respectfully bowed to Ye Cangtian. Although he was Xuan Sanqi’s confidant, he did not want to end up looking like Xuan Sanqi.
Moreover, he was just trash in the Dark Association and had no background. Poxiao could probably kill him without causing any ripples.
Ye Cangtian smiled at Lv Fang, “If I say, tell me all the investigation materials from the past few days, you definitely won’t, right?”
Nonsense!
Although your position and authority are above Xuan Sanqi, only Lord Xuan Sanqi is in charge here.
With a cold sneer in his heart, Lv Fang respectfully said, “Replying to Your Lord, we haven’t investigated anything in the past few days. What Lord Xuan Sanqi said is all true.”
“Lv Fang, you are truly foolish!”
“You’ve missed an excellent opportunity. Following me has a much brighter future than following Xuan Sanqi!”
Ye Cangtian glanced at him deeply and said slowly.
“Thank you for your high regard, Your Lord!”
“However, this subordinate believes that we are all serving the Dark Association, and our future is equally bright regardless of who we follow.”
Hearing Ye Cangtian’s words, Lv Fang quickly stepped forward and said.
Before entering the door, he had already thought about the possibility of Poxiao trying to buy him off.
That’s right, Poxiao was a prefecture-level steward. If he spoke well of him, it was indeed very likely that he would be reused.
This was something Xuan Sanqi could not compare to!
But don’t forget, this Steward Poxiao had just been promoted to prefecture-level steward, and Xuan Sanqi had someone behind him!
In the past, Cheng Hai supported him. Now that Cheng Hai was gone, Xuan Sanqi had defected to Hong Mo.
If he had to choose between Hong Mo and Poxiao, he would naturally trust Hong Mo.
After all, Hong Mo was second to none in strength among the prefecture-level stewards.
Moreover, Hong Mo was extremely brutal. If he defected to Poxiao, he might not even be able to save his life from Poxiao in the future.
“Alright, you can go down. I’ll call you if I need anything!”
On the other side, Ye Cangtian understood Lv Fang’s choice with a single sentence and sighed inwardly.
With his status as a prefecture-level steward, he could hardly mobilize people here. It seemed Xuan Sanqi did have some ability, but it didn’t matter.
As he said before, even without the Dark Association, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out the situation here.
…
He was rebuffed at the branch.
After a short rest, Ye Cangtian left the branch alone in the afternoon.
As soon as he left, a smile appeared on Ye Cangtian’s face, as he had clearly sensed the few little tails behind him.
He didn’t care. Whether these people were Xuan Sanqi’s subordinates or members of other forces, if they wanted to follow him, let them do so.
For the entire afternoon, Ye Cangtian wandered around Youming City, and at the same time, secretly made marks in some corners.
He had learned from Xiao Feng that, like the Hall of Light, the Hidden Group had informants in various cities within the ruins. He wanted to contact the people of the Hidden Group.
However, he had originally planned to gather information from both the branch and the informants here, which might have been more comprehensive.
But now that the branch was not cooperating, he could only gather information from the informants here unilaterally.
…
Another corner of Youming City.
A man in black flashed into a courtyard and knelt before a man with his head wrapped in bandages under a pavilion.
This person was none other than Xuan Sanqi, who had been beaten severely by Ye Cangtian.
Originally, his injuries were not serious. With a little medicinal pill, he could quickly reduce the swelling.
But Xuan Sanqi did not do so, and deliberately wrapped himself in bandages.
If he recovered so quickly, he would definitely have to follow the rules of the Dark Association and provide some support to Poxiao.
The reason he held on until the end was for this moment. Since he was injured, he naturally did not need to cooperate with Poxiao anymore.
Seeing his subordinate at this moment, Xuan Sanqi asked gloomily, “What’s the situation with Poxiao?”
“Replying to Your Lord, Poxiao has been wandering around the city all afternoon and hasn’t made any moves, as if he was familiarizing himself with the terrain.”
“At this time, that Poxiao is eating street food in the city…”
The subordinate quickly stepped forward and said.
Wandering aimlessly?
Xuan Sanqi’s brows immediately furrowed. Poxiao had a mission, so how could he wander aimlessly?
Thinking of this, he suddenly understood everything and said, “Foolish! You’ve been discovered by Poxiao! He’s doing this intentionally to show you!”
Uh…
With these words, the subordinate was instantly speechless. Although Poxiao hadn’t done anything to them, this was not impossible.
After all, he was a prefecture-level expert, and his perception must be very strong.
Thinking this, he asked, “Your Lord, what should we do next?”
“Keep following!”
Xuan Sanqi said coldly. Although these subordinates had been discovered, it didn’t matter.
With these subordinates around, it wouldn’t be so easy for Poxiao to do anything.
In other words, if he really found anything, he would also get the news immediately and make corresponding countermeasures.
…
Similarly, news about Poxiao was received by various forces one after another.
Poxiao was too arrogant. Wandering around the city wearing a golden mask, it was hard not to notice.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian was completely unconcerned and was eating happily at a roadside stall.
“Lord Poxiao, the楼主 of Tiancan Tower requests an audience.”
A man came forward and respectfully said to Ye Cangtian.
Heh heh, they came quite quickly.
The corners of Ye Cangtian’s mouth curled up slightly. As the Tiancan Tower had defected to the Dark Association, he was not surprised at all that they had come to meet him.
However, what hidden agenda was mixed in it, he had to see.
After all, at the banquet, Mandara and Hong Mo had exchanged words. Given Hong Mo’s personality, he probably wouldn’t let him off easily.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian nodded, got up, and left the roadside stall with the man.
