Wei Xiaofeng immediately presented nine-turn golden elixirs, proving that these were not precious items to the other party.
Adhering to the principle of maximizing benefits, Ye Cangtian did not accept them.
"This..."
Wei Xiaofeng looked at Ye Cangtian, his brows furrowed, and said, "Mr. Ye, that's not very honest. I merely asked you to invite that woman over, it's not a big deal.
Isn't it a bit too much to ask for so much for such a matter?"
"If I take action, it should not be excessive to ask for things that are useful to me, right?"
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and continued, "If you cannot afford the price, then find someone else. Do you think Heavenly level experts act casually?"
Hmm?
Wei Xiaofeng frowned. He could personally go down and fight.
But the problem was, if he personally intervened, it would make Scarlet Cloud Island seem as if it had no capable individuals, which would be bad for Scarlet Cloud Island's reputation.
However, if Ye Cangtian could be persuaded to act, the situation would be different.
In the eyes of others, if Scarlet Cloud Island had already established cooperation with the Hidden Group, then few forces would dare to interfere with them during future explorations of unknown regions.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then how about these?"
As he spoke, Wei Xiaofeng took out three Enlightenment Pills and one Nine Heavens Longevity Pill from his Qiankun Bag and pushed them toward Ye Cangtian.
Looking at the pills before him, Ye Cangtian revealed a satisfied smile and said, "It's so-so. You can have your people return now."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaofeng did not delay. He poked his head out and said, "Miao Zhou, come back."
Miao Zhou, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown due to the prolonged unsuccessful assault, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his young master's words and retreated to the side.
Seeing this, Wei Xiaofeng turned his head to look at Ye Cangtian, as if urging him to take action.
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly, not showing his head, and simply said from inside the room, "That little fatty who's only focused on eating, and that big傻 guy who only knows how to defend, come to the second-floor private room of the hotel!"
Uh...
As the voice fell, it was Wei Xiaofeng's turn to be stunned.
The voice contained a trace of spiritual energy, and people outside would definitely hear it clearly. He did not doubt this.
But if Ye Cangtian did not reveal himself, how would the other party know who spoke? And why would they come?
Clang!
Just as Wei Xiaofeng was about to argue with Ye Cangtian, he saw Ye Cangtian light a cigarette and sit down, appearing completely in control.
Wei Xiaofeng was about to speak, but in his peripheral vision, he saw the woman downstairs actually walking towards them, and for a moment, Wei Xiaofeng froze on the spot.
What exactly was going on?
Just as Wei Xiaofeng was constantly guessing, the door opened, and in an instant, a man and a woman walked into the room.
They actually came...
Looking at the woman before him, Wei Xiaofeng's mouth twitched. Ye Cangtian's single sentence had made her come in person. It seemed too easy to earn these pills.
As he was about to speak, he was once again dumbfounded.
The woman and the strong man who entered both walked towards Ye Cangtian.
"Boss, why are you here?" Taishan asked naively.
"Boss, you didn't order them to attack us, did you?" Yao Bao'er also asked confusedly.
Ye Cangtian glanced at the two of them and smiled, "I'm not that bored. It's this guy who calls himself Wei Xiaofeng who offered some benefits and asked me to invite you up to chat with him..."
Boss?
Hearing their conversation, Wei Xiaofeng froze on the spot.
He then noticed that Yao Bao'er and Taishan were wearing the insignia of the Hidden Group.
For a moment, Wei Xiaofeng wished he could burrow into a crack in the ground.
The Hidden Group insignia on their clothes was so large, yet he had not seen it and instead asked Ye Cangtian to invite them up.
This was simply an idiotic maneuver. If it got out, he would become a huge laughingstock.
On the other side, with Ye Cangtian present, Yao Bao'er naturally had no reservations.
She looked at Wei Xiaofeng, who was somewhat evasive, put down her snacks, and said, "Hey! What do you want me, your aunt, to come up for?"
Erk...
As the voice came, Wei Xiaofeng stammered for a long time but couldn't say a word.
With such an embarrassing situation, how could he have the face to speak?
To take a step back, even if he stated his purpose, would the other party continue to engage with him after seeing him make such a shameful move?
Seeing Wei Xiaofeng remain silent, Yao Bao'er let out a cold snort and said, "You went to such great lengths to invite me up, and now you're not speaking. What's the meaning of this?"
Wei Xiaofeng heard this, gritted his teeth, and said, "I, I, I just want to get to know you and be friends!"
Hmph!
Yao Bao'er let out a cold snort and said sternly, "Are you thinking too much? You attacked us and then want to be friends. Do you think that's possible? Next time you go out, please bring your brain with you!"
I...
As the voice came, Wei Xiaofeng was utterly speechless and didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Yao Bao'er let out a cold snort, turned to Ye Cangtian, and said, "Boss, I haven't eaten enough yet! Hurry up, let's find another place to continue eating."
Alas!
Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly, his gaze turned to Wei Xiaofeng, and he said, "Regarding what happened before, considering you offered the pills, I will let it slide."
After a pause, Ye Cangtian's expression turned cold, and he continued, "However, I must remind you, do not have any ideas about Bao'er, or you will bear the consequences!"
As the warning came, Wei Xiaofeng nodded stiffly.
In this awkward situation, there was nothing else he could do but nod.
Seeing that Wei Xiaofeng was somewhat obedient, Ye Cangtian no longer paid attention to him and left the restaurant with Yao Bao'er and the others.
"Damn it, this is truly embarrassing beyond measure!"
"Miao Zhou, pass down the order. Whoever dares to speak of today's events, don't blame me for eliminating them..."
After confirming that the Hidden Group members had left, Wei Xiaofeng let out an enraged roar.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian led the Death Squad to another restaurant, and after a hearty meal, everyone returned to the inn contentedly.
As soon as they returned to the room, Qiangwei came to Ye Cangtian and voiced her doubts.
She was puzzled by Ye Cangtian's decision to stay in the lower-class area.
At the same time, she did not believe Ye Cangtian's explanation of seeking liveliness.
When this matter was mentioned, Ci Dao and Wu Ying Jian also cast their curious gazes.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "There is an ancient saying: it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!"
Ye Cangtian explained briefly. Although the Hidden Group could reside in the upper-class living area.
However, within the upper-class living area, the Hidden Group was at the bottom, as they could not compare to the five peak forces.
Therefore, once they moved into the upper-class living area, they would inevitably be ridiculed by some forces, such as the Flying Cloud Pavilion or the Misty Rain Tower.
At the same time, many forces residing in the lower-class area would, as Meng Nan had thought, develop dissatisfaction and doubts towards the Hidden Group.
Furthermore, while the upper-class living area represented status, it was too close to the Misty Rain Tower.
It could be said that they would be living right under the Misty Rain Tower's nose, and any privacy would be exposed to the Misty Rain Tower.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian chose the lower-class living area. This way, if they wanted to do anything, the chances of being discovered would be much smaller.
Upon hearing this, Qiangwei and the others slowly nodded, having understood.
The next moment, Qiangwei glanced at Ye Cangtian and said coldly, "Besides these reasons, you probably have another objective, which is to show weakness, right?
Let everyone think that the Hidden Group is weak, so that opponents will lower their guard and thus achieve your goal of playing the pig to eat the tiger..."
Erk!
At her words, Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback, and his old face immediately turned red. He looked at Qiangwei and said somewhat exasperatedly, "You understand me the best! But it's not good to say such things out loud..."
Ye Cangtian did not deny this.
Now that the Hidden Group was participating in the peak conference, and he himself was involved, this was a rare opportunity for everyone.
Someone would definitely make a move against the Hidden Group in secret, intending to seize the Four Great Seals.
Therefore, the more they concealed themselves now, the easier it would be to deal with future troubles.
Hmph!
Qiangwei let out a cold snort, gave Ye Cangtian a sideway glance, and then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, that Meng Nan, I don't think he's a good person. He might make a move against us in the future. What do you think we should do..."
As she spoke, Qiangwei raised her hand and made a throat-slitting gesture in front of her neck.
