Sensing Yuwen Chengji's provocative gaze.
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and said, "Alright, I've always been magnanimous and won't bother with petty, sinister individuals!"
Was hatred that easily resolved?
Ye Cangtian didn't believe it!
If that were the case, why would Yuwen Chengji repeatedly cause trouble for him?
This meant that Jian Wusheng's mediation was ultimately futile, and Yuwen Chengji would surely target him again in the future.
Since that was the case, why should he be in a hurry?
"Who are you calling a sinister individual?"
Yuwen Chengji asked coldly through gritted teeth.
"I'm talking about you, daring to do but not to admit!"
"You truly disgrace the Yuwen family. If your ancestors knew how you were, they'd probably jump out of their graves!"
Ye Cangtian retorted fearlessly, sneering at the other man.
"You're seeking death..."
Yuwen Chengji was instantly enraged, and in the next moment, he drew his long sword.
"Presumptuous!"
Just as Yuwen Chengji was about to make a move, Jian Wusheng suddenly let out a cold shout. His fierce aura instantly made Yuwen Chengji behave himself.
In the end, he was cleaning up Yuwen Chengji's mess. The way he handled things today already made him feel he had let Ye Cangtian down.
Therefore, it was normal for Ye Cangtian, as the victim, to say a few harsh words to vent.
But if Yuwen Chengji wanted to make a move, he absolutely wouldn't tolerate it.
"Yuwen Chengji, you'd best behave. I can tolerate you once, but that doesn't mean I'll tolerate you a second time!"
Jian Wusheng's expression was grim. After all, he had been implicated in this matter, and it was impossible for him not to be angry.
Hearing Jian Wusheng's voice, cold sweat broke out on Yuwen Chengji's face.
He had already sensed the anger in Jian Wusheng's eyes, and a hint of killing intent was contained within his fierce aura. He couldn't help but be startled.
"Senior, I understand."
Yuwen Chengji took a deep breath and replied respectfully.
Let alone the fact that he wasn't a Earth-tier expert now; even if he were, he would still be no match for Jian Wusheng. At this moment, it was best to de-escalate the situation.
"Kid, you should lay low too. That's enough."
Seeing that Yuwen Chengji's attitude was decent, Jian Wusheng let out a soft snort and then chided Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian smiled sheepishly and nodded.
Seeing this, Jian Wusheng's gaze fell on Hu Baicang and said, "Hu Baicang, after this meal, you can leave. As I said before, take care of yourself!"
Even Yuwen Chengji, the mastermind, Jian Wusheng could let go, let alone a small fly like Hu Baicang.
On the other side, Hu Baicang nodded upon hearing this, "Thank you, senior."
Even Yuwen Chengji and Shuang Chi dared not object to Jian Wusheng's decision, so what else could he say?
Moreover, this way, his situation would be even safer.
It was very simple: whether he helped Ye Cangtian or Yuwen Chengji, he would offend the other person, which could easily lead to his death.
Now that Jian Wusheng clearly had no intention of confronting him, he was safe.
With the immediate conflict suppressed, the subsequent banquet became rather silent.
Some things couldn't be faked.
It was difficult for Ye Cangtian and Yuwen Chengji to make merry with wine.
As long as the two sides did not antagonize each other, Jian Wusheng would be satisfied.
...
The sun rose.
Ye Cangtian arrived at the headquarters early, browsing the mission board to see if there were any suitable tasks.
Jian Wusheng had safely escorted him back to headquarters, and his mission was completed. From now on, everything depended on himself.
Ye Cangtian came here to earn contribution points as quickly as possible.
"Heh heh, what a coincidence!"
Just then, a sarcastic voice was heard, belonging to Yuwen Chengji.
How could he let Ye Cangtian live a comfortable life?
Since it was inconvenient to make a move within Dragon City, he would kill him during a mission.
After all, Ye Cangtian would be taking on many missions to inquire about Tang Qingshan and his wife, earning contribution points.
"It is indeed a coincidence. I thought you would be hiding at home, acting like a coward!" Ye Cangtian snorted dismissively.
"That's what I should be saying to you. If you want to save your life, being a coward is the best way."
"Also, let me tell you a secret, Hu Baicang was indeed instigated by me!"
Yuwen Chengji said playfully.
Having lost the opportunity yesterday, Ye Cangtian no longer had any leverage over him. He deliberately brought this up to provoke Ye Cangtian.
"He's just an ant."
"Do I need an ant's assistance to deal with you?"
"You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and then ignored him, turning to the side.
Within a few minutes, Ye Cangtian found the staff and discovered several reconnaissance missions with high contribution point rewards.
"Mr. Ye, are you sure? Several teams have already perished on these missions. They are very dangerous."
The staff member looked at Ye Cangtian and kindly reminded him.
In his opinion, taking on such dangerous missions alone was no different from seeking death.
"I'm sure."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's insistence, the staff member reluctantly agreed, "Alright, Mr. Ye. According to regulations, for such dangerous missions, at least three people must go..."
Ye Cangtian nodded. He was aware of this rule, which was for safety and to ensure that someone could report back on the situation.
"I'll take these missions too!"
"Me too!"
As Ye Cangtian had just accepted the missions, two voices came from nearby.
The two speakers were none other than Yuwen Chengji and Shuang Chi.
"..."
The staff member was speechless by the sudden appearance of the two.
Although fortune favors the bold, the danger level of these missions was too high, and not many people were willing to take them on usually.
But today, for some reason, three people had come at once, saving them the trouble of forming a team.
"Are you sure you want to take these missions?"
Out of professional duty, the staff member confirmed again.
Yuwen Chengji and Shuang Chi naturally nodded. They wanted to kill Ye Cangtian in the secret realm, so how could they miss such an opportunity?
"Mr. Ye, you're truly fortunate. Someone is willing to team up with you as soon as you arrive here."
The staff member quickly processed the paperwork, handed over some mission notifications to the three of them, and formed them into a team.
"Who knows?"
Ye Cangtian smirked, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Since Yuwen Chengji was courting death, he decided to fulfill his wish.
Just as the three were about to set off.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a loud voice echoed from the hall.
Immediately after, a burly man was seen rushing over.
"Yang Chen?"
Ye Cangtian paused slightly. He hadn't expected to encounter him here.
However, upon reflection, it was understandable. Yang Chen had followed Bai Jing back to the Bai family, and with the Bai family's influence, it was not impossible for them to reside in Dragon City.
"Phew! Finally made it!"
"Brother, I just got the news that you were in Dragon City, so I hurried over to find you."
Yang Chen greeted Ye Cangtian while approaching the staff, and also accepted a mission.
Seeing Yang Chen's actions, Ye Cangtian's heart warmed, and he said, "The mission is very dangerous, you should stay."
After all, Yuwen Chengji was targeting him, and he didn't want to involve Yang Chen.
Yang Chen glanced over and said with extreme seriousness, "Brother, we agreed that I would follow you from now on. How can I fear risks!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded helplessly. He knew that no matter what he said, Yang Chen wouldn't leave.
Thus, the four of them formed a group and boarded a carriage together.
