"What do you mean by that?"
After a long hesitation, Ye Zhenghao asked seriously.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly, his gaze flickered to the others around Ye Zhenghao.
Seeing this, Ye Zhenghao immediately understood and quickly said, "You all wait for me outside the pavilion. I'll talk to them alone!"
The other disciples nodded and retreated, leaving only Yan Biao behind.
He looked at Ye Zhenghao and said, "I have to stay!"
For now, the people from Arid Mountain seemed friendly, but he didn't know if it was a ploy.
Therefore, he had to stay by Ye Zhenghao's side.
Ye Zhenghao nodded and then looked at Ye Cangtian, saying, "This is my brother since childhood. He is me, and I am him. There's no need to guard against him.
You can speak now."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and didn't speak. Instead, he drew his hand across his face, restoring his original appearance.
"Zhenghao, you're quite foolish!"
"After following me for so long, you didn't even see through my disguise techniques..."
Uh!
Seeing Ye Cangtian's original appearance, Ye Zhenghao's mouth twitched.
He really hadn't expected Ye Cangtian to appear in this way.
Speaking of which, wasn't this kid too fond of disguising himself?
Although he thought this, many of his doubts found answers.
For example, why did the other party follow the Fiery Flame Institute to the pavilion, and what he said about guarding for him at the time, he still had some doubts.
Now it seemed that all this was true, and it was his own fault for not seeing through the other party's disguise.
Thinking about it, Ye Zhenghao said exasperatedly, "Brother, what is this all about? Who is chasing you?"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly. Before he could explain, Yao Bao'er next to him spoke first.
"This is called fishing. Many forces in the rainforest are starting to plot against us. Boss thinks if he appears weak, someone will come to rob him..."
As she spoke, Ye Cangtian glared fiercely at Yao Bao'er and said exasperatedly, "Why does it sound like a bad thing when you say it? It's as if I'm so insidious!"
Yao Bao'er rolled her eyes in response and said no more.
On the other side, listening to their conversation, Ye Zhenghao gave Ye Cangtian a thumbs-up, "You're still the insidious one, I admire you!"
As he spoke, Ye Zhenghao showed a fawning smile and said, "Brother, you must have gained a lot from this operation, right? As the saying goes, brothers split half when they meet. Do you want to help out your brother?"
"Scram!"
Ye Cangtian pushed Ye Zhenghao away with a look of disgust and said exasperatedly, "I haven't even properly started yet! Besides, didn't I already give you all the treasures on the second and first floors? Don't be too greedy, understand!"
"Uh, okay. Since we've met, I'll act with you!"
Ye Zhenghao scratched his head and continued with a smile.
Just as Ye Cangtian had predicted, all the forces had gained something, so some forces began to plot against others.
This was also why he had to act cautiously in everything he did.
After all, the Fiery Flame Institute didn't have any Heavenly realm experts accompanying them, so relying on the reputation of the Fiery Flame Institute to deter others was not enough!
Therefore, acting with Ye Cangtian now was the only way to ensure his safety.
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted and glared at him, "Are you a pig? If you follow us, who would dare to rob us!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "You can choose to act around us. If anything happens, just send a signal..."
"That works too, then it's settled."
Ye Zhenghao's face broke into a smile and he continued, "In that case, I'll lead the people from the Fiery Flame Institute away first, so that people don't discover any connection between us."
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Go ahead. Taishan is still receiving his inheritance, and we still have to wait for him!"
Ye Zhenghao responded and then said, "Brother, in the future, when you disguise yourself, remember to give me a glance or a signal, otherwise I might really consider you an opponent..."
As he spoke, seeing Ye Cangtian glare at him, Ye Zhenghao chuckled awkwardly and then, with the people from the Fiery Flame Institute, left the secret realm.
After Ye Zhenghao left, Ye Cangtian took Yao Bao'er to the second floor to reunite with Qiangwei and the others.
Qiangwei immediately came to Ye Cangtian's side and said, "Cangtian, I saw that the people from the Tiger King Sect had one arm severed and their cultivation crippled. You did it, didn't you? How are you?
And why didn't the people from the Flying Cloud Pavilion come down?"
Qiangwei, who had been on the second floor the whole time, didn't know what had happened on the third floor.
Seeing Ye Cangtian return, she quickly asked.
Ye Cangtian nodded and said, "Those guys wanted to rob us, so I taught them a lesson. As for the Flying Cloud Pavilion, the remaining Hun Qi insisted on attacking Bao'er, and Bao'er killed him!"
Oh?
Hearing this, Qiangwei was slightly taken aback because Yao Bao'er's combat experience was too little. Hearing that Yao Bao'er could kill someone, she was quite surprised.
After all, Hun Qi was not to be trifled with. Not only was his cultivation powerful, but his mental strength was also not weak.
Thinking about it, she looked at Bao'er playfully and then smiled, "Bao'er, didn't you mix up the poison and kill the person?"
"Pah!"
Yao Bao'er glared angrily at Qiangwei and said, "Sister Qiangwei, how can you say that about me? This time I used the correct poison and instantly killed the opponent. If you don't believe me, you can ask Boss!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and nodded, "I can attest to this. Bao'er did use the correct poison, but in my opinion, it was a bit of a coincidence, like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse!"
"Oh, I see, haha, I knew it. When did Bao'er become so reliable?"
Qiangwei, who was usually cold and aloof, showed a smile on her face when she heard Ye Cangtian say this.
"You, you... Hmph! You are all bad guys, I'm not playing with you anymore!"
Yao Bao'er was so angry that she had nothing to say when she heard the two of them sing in harmony. But if she wanted to argue, she was no match for the two of them working together.
In the end, she crossed her arms, stomped her feet, and walked to the side angrily.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and then looked at Qiangwei, his expression turning slightly serious, "What's the situation with Taishan? Is no one disturbing him?"
Qiangwei shook her head slowly and said, "He's been in the process of inheriting all this time, and no one here has disturbed him. I believe the inheritance will be over soon!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You continue to guard here. I'm going to the lake in the backyard to take a look!"
The lake?
Qiangwei frowned upon hearing this. Before arriving at the manor, the four forces had sent people to investigate.
Behind the two pavilions, there was a small lake. The lake water was clear, and plump fish and shrimp could be seen.
But Ye Cangtian was not a picky eater, so he must not be going for the fish and shrimp.
Thinking about it, Qiangwei asked, "What's in the lake?"
"There's a powerful aura, very hidden!" Ye Cangtian replied without concealment.
He had originally planned that after they cleared out this pavilion, they would leave the last lake to the Tiger King Sect, who had other intentions.
That's why when the Tiger King Sect proposed that the Fiery Flame Institute and Arid Mountain be responsible for the pavilions, he had made such a condition.
But he hadn't expected the Tiger King Sect to be so impatient and attack them directly before reaching the final lake.
Now that the other forces had left, he could only go and see for himself what that powerful aura was.
Hearing this, Qiangwei quickly said, "I'll go with you. It'll be a backup."
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "No, I'll go by myself. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Seeing Ye Cangtian's persistence, Qiangwei had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Alright, then be careful. If you can't handle it, send a signal, and your brothers will be there immediately."
Ye Cangtian nodded helplessly and said, "Don't worry, there aren't many people in this ruin who can defeat me steadily now. Besides, I still have the seal on me!"
Saying this, Ye Cangtian smiled, waved his hand, and turned to leave the second-floor hall.
Watching Ye Cangtian's receding figure, Qiangwei felt very helpless.
Ye Cangtian's talent was truly extraordinary. Even though she had tried her best, the gap between them had only widened.
Now, she basically didn't hope to catch up to him, but rather hoped that the peak of her cultivation would arrive quickly.
Then Ye Cangtian could wait for them at the peak...
