Chapter 568 The Fishing Old Man

He left the interrogation room.

Ye Cangtian continued his search for a residence in Longcheng.

However, after walking for only a short while.

He felt as if someone was following him.

Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow and then walked towards a dead-end alley he had passed earlier.

Arriving at the dead-end, the corner of his mouth curved upwards, and he said lightly, "Should I call you out, or will you come out on your own?"

*Snap! Snap! Snap!*

A round of applause sounded, and the next moment, a man slowly appeared at the mouth of the alley.

It was him?

Ye Cangtian was suddenly stunned. The man who appeared at the mouth of the alley was the same man who had ambushed him in the mountains with Shuangchi today.

It seemed that the ambush had failed today, and the other party was unwilling to give up!

"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Yuan Kai of Longcheng."

"I'm not tracking you for anything else today, it's all because of Brother Shuangchi. You cut off one of my brother's arms, and I don't want your life, I just want his arm in exchange!"

Yuan Kai glanced at Ye Cangtian opposite him and said lightly.

"So, Shuangchi sent you?"

Ye Cangtian asked with a cold laugh. He hadn't planned to deal with Shuangchi initially.

After all, Shuangchi was a member of the Hidden Group, and it was difficult to act without evidence. But now, it was different; the evidence had come to him.

If he could bring the other party back to the Hidden Group, he could at least charge Shuangchi with hiring an assassin for revenge, right?

"Sent?"

"That word isn't accurate. We are brothers. Do we need to be sent to stand up for our brothers?"

Yuan Kai said carelessly.

In fact, this matter was not of great concern to Shuangchi, nor was Shuangchi the one who called him.

It was all because he simply wanted to vent his anger for Shuangchi. The reason was very simple: Shuangchi was his brother!

If Shuangchi was bullied, he, as his brother, naturally had to step up.

"Heh, so you're the one who wants to deal with me?"

"You should know my identity, right?"

"I am a member of the Hidden Group. If you deal with me, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in Longcheng!"

Ye Cangtian glanced at Yuan Kai, pondered for a moment, and said playfully.

"Who the hell do you think you are? If you dare to hurt my brother, even if you're a celestial general, I'll chop you down!" Yuan Kai said dismissively.

Heh, this idiot is quite loyal!

It's just that I don't know if it's worth it for Shuangchi!

Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly, then spread his hands and said with a faint smile, "Alright, as you wish! My hands are right here, take whichever one you need!"

Yuan Kai was slightly stunned, not expecting the other party to be so cooperative.

But when he saw Ye Cangtian's smiling expression, he immediately understood that the other party was just toying with him.

"Hmph!"

Yuan Kai's face darkened, and he suddenly waved his hand, "Attack together!"

The next moment.

As figures poured in from all directions, they immediately charged towards Ye Cangtian.

*Bang bang bang...*

The dead-end alley in front of them became chaotic.

Due to the narrowness and the large number of people, the situation inside was completely unclear, and only the sounds of fists meeting flesh could be heard.

This sound did not last long before it turned into screams of pain.

"This..."

Upon seeing the situation, Yuan Kai broke out in a cold sweat.

Most of the brothers he brought were lying on the ground, and the remaining one or two did not dare to advance.

Why was he so strong?

Yuan Kai had indeed heard some news about Ye Cangtian, reportedly at the peak of the Profound level.

He was also at the Profound level. Although there was a certain gap in strength, in his opinion, the peak of the Profound level was still within the Profound level's scope, and the difference shouldn't be too significant.

But now, it seemed he had thought too much; the gap was not small.

"Yuan Kai, right?"

"Your brothers aren't very effective!"

Ye Cangtian chuckled playfully, then raised his hand and beckoned, "I've only just warmed up, why don't you play with me a bit longer?"

This...

Yuan Kai hesitated. He really wanted to stand up for Shuangchi, but in this situation, he would also be beaten if he went forward!

"Damn it, so be it!"

"To die for a brother is to die for a worthy cause!"

After a moment, Yuan Kai finally roared and charged at Ye Cangtian.

"As expected, a fool!"

Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps others would respect Yuan Kai, but Ye Cangtian did not think so. This fellow, while appearing loyal, was actually brainless.

If the other party truly considered you a brother, would they want to see this outcome?

At this moment, Yuan Kai had already reached Ye Cangtian, raising his hand to attack.

*Bang!*

Even though Yuan Kai made the first move, Ye Cangtian struck him with even greater speed, like lightning. He was sent flying with a punch, crashing heavily to the ground, his eyes watering from the pain.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't take your dog lives."

"I hope you'll behave yourselves. If you fall into my hands again next time, you won't be so lucky."

Saying that, Ye Cangtian casually left a warning and then left the alley.

He did not kill them. Although the other party was not very bright, he was still loyal, which was why he spared his life.

*Whoosh!*

Watching Ye Cangtian's retreating figure, Yuan Kai breathed a sigh of relief and crawled up, baring his teeth.

"That was close! I almost died here..."

...

After dealing with Yuan Kai and the others, Ye Cangtian continued his search for a residence in Longcheng.

However, this matter was more difficult than he had imagined. Longcheng was basically at its capacity.

As the largest developed city in the Chinese ruins, its status was comparable to the capital of China. Families, whether powerful or not, all wanted to secure a foothold here.

It could be said that even the older houses in the surrounding areas were already occupied.

"Sigh, could it be that I'm destined to live in a guesthouse?"

After searching for a long time, Ye Cangtian was somewhat frustrated and muttered to himself.

Unknowingly, he had arrived by the river. In the distance, an old man wearing a conical hat was fishing.

Just as he was feeling troubled, Ye Cangtian walked over, intending to relax.

"Elder, what kind of fish can be caught here?"

Ye Cangtian stepped forward and asked.

It was his first time seeing someone fishing in the ruins, so he was naturally curious.

"All sorts of fish, it depends on luck."

The old man glanced back at Ye Cangtian and said.

The next moment, the fishing float bobbed. The old man, with quick reflexes, immediately lifted his rod. A meter-long fish with sharp teeth flew out of the water.

"..."

Ye Cangtian was instantly stunned. His gaze towards the old man was filled with a bit of shock.

How could anyone fish like this?

When fishing in the outside world, upon seeing the fish bite, people would not apply too much force to avoid breaking the fishing line or damaging the rod.

But the old man was different. His fishing was quite forceful, and...

At the moment he lifted the rod, he also felt a powerful aura emanating from the old man, protecting the entire fishing rod and line...

"Haha, Ruin Fangtooth Fish!"

"This thing is quite ferocious, but it's absolutely delicious!"

On the other side, the old man's face showed a smile. He removed the hook, threw the fish back into the river, and then re-baited the hook, muttering.

Ye Cangtian did not interfere much. Perhaps the old man was fishing for leisure, not for eating or selling. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Elder, excellent technique!"

"Heh, I'm old now, not like in the past."

"Back then, if I wanted to eat fish, why would I bother? With a wave of my hand, the river would be full. Now, I can only fish one by one..."

A faint bitterness appeared on the old man's face, as if the past was unbearable to recall.
