This young man's mind is truly sharp!
Ye Cangtian listened to the other party's explanation, remained silent for a moment, and said, "With just these reasons, I still find it somewhat far-fetched. After all, those who know these things might also be friends of Yin Long."
His voice carried, seeing that Ye Cangtian had the demeanor of digging for the truth relentlessly.
The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "For various gossip, to see through disguises, I have cultivated a type of eye technique."
The young man stated that it was precisely because of this eye technique that he had seen through the disguise on Ye Cangtian's face.
Coupled with the points mentioned earlier, he had finally confirmed that the person before him was indeed Yin Long, and Ye Cangtian of the Yin Group.
To have revealed all of the other party's secrets right in front of him, he himself was quite startled, fearing that the other party might silence him.
Therefore, the moment he confirmed, any bets or wagers were no longer important to him; preserving his life was what truly mattered.
"Well said, Little Ruin Bat, I have truly learned today."
Ye Cangtian listened to the young man's words and smiled, saying, "You can keep all these things! I wasn't lying just now; you are the only one who has bet against me and won. I cannot go back on my word, or my reputation will be ruined!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian tossed the medicinal pill in his hand over and continued, "Also, what you know, do not spread it around before it's publicized, otherwise, I might truly silence you!"
"I dare not, I absolutely dare not," the young man quickly waved his hand, saying this as he collected all the medicinal pills. Regardless, these pills were quite attractive to him.
"Very good."
Ye Cangtian was quite pleased with the young man's reaction. He smiled and asked, "By the way, your ability to investigate what has happened is quite good. If you were in these peak factions, what other information could you gather?"
Hearing this, the young man looked up and said, "I dare not say I have everything under control, but for what has happened, I can grasp at least sixty to seventy percent!"
"So confident? Boasting is not a good habit!" Ye Cangtian glanced at him and said indifferently.
The young man snorted upon hearing this and said, "There's no use talking about it. When you need it, come and find me, and you'll see if I can give you accurate information!"
"Alright, then how do I contact you?"
"I can't just shout 'Little Ruin Bat' all over the street, can I?"
A teasing voice came, and the young man's eyes widened. "Brother, do you want to get me killed! If I shout 'Little Ruin Bat' all over the street, many people will cause trouble for me!"
He paused and continued, "My real name is Geng Chao. If you're not in a hurry to find me, you can place a Cymbidium orchid on your inn's window. If you're in a hurry, here you go."
As he spoke, the young man took out a Qiankun bag and directly tossed it to Ye Cangtian. Inside were signal flares for contacting him.
Cymbidium orchid?
It was quite ironic! To inquire about gossip and all sorts of information could be considered the act of a gentleman?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the Qiankun bag and then asked, "You've become a public enemy. Won't using signal flares attract your enemies?"
"Don't worry, it won't! The signal flares for contacting me are very discreet. You'll know when you contact me," Geng Chao replied.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian took the Qiankun bag and, after a brief glance, his mouth twitched. He looked at the other party with annoyance and said, "Speaking of which, I can contact you later, but I don't need this many!"
Heh heh.
Geng Chao chuckled and said, "You are a big shot in my eyes, with the potential to become my major client, so I've given you more, making it convenient for you to find me anytime..."
Uh, this kid sees me as a fat sheep!
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at Geng Chao and said, "How about this? Why don't you join my Yin Group and serve me?"
This...
Upon hearing this, Geng Chao immediately hesitated. To be honest, this was the first time a major faction had extended an olive branch to him. And if he joined the Yin Group, with their backing, his enemies would have to think twice before causing him trouble. It could be said that his safety would have a certain guarantee.
But problems also followed. Every faction had its own rules. If he truly joined the Yin Group, he would undoubtedly be bound by those rules. Furthermore, after joining the Yin Group, the information he gathered would become singular. If he wanted to dig up some sensational news or scandalous gossip, he probably couldn't touch it anymore.
Thinking of this, Geng Chao looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Sir, this is not a small matter for me. Please allow me to think about it."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded. Such matters were voluntary after all.
The next moment, he looked at Geng Chao and slowly said, "I'll give you a direction. I want to know the relationships between the various factions, especially those secret alliances... If you have any such information, you can find me, and I won't treat you unfairly!"
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing Geng Chao nod in agreement, Ye Cangtian waved his hand and then left the pavilion.
*Hoo!*
Watching Ye Cangtian's departing back, Geng Chao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Cangtian was quite righteous; otherwise, his life would have ended here today. Damn it, in the future, I must be more discerning about people before speaking about information, or I won't even know how I died.
Meanwhile, after parting ways with Geng Chao, Ye Cangtian visited other public places in the town until nightfall, when he returned to the inn.
"Where have you been all day? Why did you return only at night?"
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Cangtian saw Qiangwei approaching with a cold expression. Qiangwei was quite puzzled by Ye Cangtian's late return. In her opinion, as of now, only the Blazing Fire Institute had arrived among the peak factions; the other three peak factions had not yet appeared. Therefore, the situation was not yet clear, and not much valuable information could be gathered. After all, the goal of all factions was basically to ally with those peak factions. But now that the peak factions had not all arrived, these factions naturally would not be overly active to avoid drawing attention. Thus, Ye Cangtian's information gathering should not have taken this long.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian sat down and smiled, "Not only was I gathering information, but I also took the opportunity to appreciate the town and relax a bit. It's better than being cooped up in the inn..."
Hmph!
Qiangwei snorted upon hearing this and then asked, "After this whole day, have you gathered any information?"
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Several young talents have arrived in the main hall..."
As soon as she heard this, Yao Bao'er leaned closer and smiled, "Boss, when you mention young talents, aren't you thinking of introducing them to Sister Qiangwei..."
Before she could finish, Yao Bao'er felt a cold gaze and immediately stopped speaking.
"You're really asking for it."
Ye Cangtian glared at Yao Bao'er and then said, "It is said that Yi Kong of Daxiong Temple, Yan Yun'er of Yan Yu Tower, and others possess considerable strength. I was thinking, if there's a chance, I'll have you spar with them..." In Ye Cangtian's view, his brothers were on par with these so-called young talents. Having them spar with each other would be an affirmation of the Grim Reaper Squad and also a form of training for them.
This...
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's plan, Qiangwei frowned and said, "Boss, Cidao and the others have only recently broken through. They might not be a match for these talents. If they are severely beaten, won't it affect their confidence?"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled upon hearing this and then said, "If they lose confidence over such a small matter, are they still the Grim Reaper Squad I led?"
With that statement, Qiangwei nodded and said no more.
Yao Bao'er, standing aside, glanced at Ye Cangtian and timidly said, "Boss, sparring with these young talents shouldn't include me, right?"
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian immediately snorted and glared at her, saying annoyedly, "Look at your lack of ambition. I don't even find it troublesome to find an opponent to train you, and you're still unwilling..."
Yao Bao'er's eyes widened, and she said, "Boss, I'm non-combat personnel. It's enough to have self-preservation abilities..."
Before she could finish, Ye Cangtian hit Yao Bao'er heavily on the head. He was truly exasperated. After all, why was he doing all this? Wasn't it to improve the overall strength of the Grim Reaper Squad? Why didn't the other party understand?
