"Boss, aren't you undergoing body tempering during the lightning tribulation?"
Yao Bao'er came directly to Ye Cangtian and asked.
Ye Cangtian glanced at Yao Bao'er and smiled, "That's right, it took a few days to temper my body, what's wrong?"
"A few days?"
Yao Bao'er's eyes widened, and she immediately said, "You've been delayed for a few days, how could you arrive on the same day as us? What method did you use?"
Hmph!
Ye Cangtian snorted and said in annoyance, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Go and support Lan Yue first. She is dealing with Flying Cloud Pavilion disciples around here! Remember to capture them alive!"
Lan Yue?
Hearing this, even Qiangwei was stunned.
Lan Yue was in charge of the Hidden Group and could not leave her post. Otherwise, the Hidden Group might fall into chaos.
Both Ye Cangtian and Lan Yue knew this, but why did Lan Yue come along?
With doubts in her heart, Qiangwei immediately led the Grim Reaper Squad to rush out.
Ye Cangtian would not lie about such matters. As for the doubts, it would not be too late to ask after the battle ended.
After the Grim Reaper Squad left, Ye Cangtian sat on a chair in the hall. Before long, the suicidal individuals who had been stopped by the Grim Reaper Squad gradually woke up.
They looked at everything in front of them and were stunned on the spot.
After a long while, their gazes turned to Ye Cangtian, and then a man stepped forward and bowed to Ye Cangtian.
Their minds were blank. Although they didn't know what had happened, they still saw the bodies of their companions.
Moreover, they knew very well that this was definitely not Ye Cangtian's doing.
The reason was very simple: if Ye Cangtian had done it, there would have been no need to leave them alive.
"Mr. Ye, may I ask what happened here and why are we here!"
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Ye Cangtian said indifferently, "You were controlled by people from Flying Cloud Pavilion and came to deal with the Hidden Group..."
Ye Cangtian explained everything that had happened simply, without any concealment.
After listening to Ye Cangtian's explanation, everyone bowed and their eyes were filled with gratitude.
After all, if it were another force, they would have certainly killed them in such a situation, and they might have died in battle forever.
Not only did the Hidden Group not kill them, but they also stopped them from committing suicide. They were truly benevolent.
On the other side, looking at everyone's expressions, Ye Cangtian slowly said, "Since you are awake, take your companions' bodies back. I believe you will tell the truth."
"You saved our lives, and we will not disappoint you!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. Whether our superiors inquire or someone investigates later, we will definitely tell the truth!"
Everyone was not stupid. They naturally understood Ye Cangtian's meaning and knew that they were being used as pawns by Flying Cloud Pavilion.
Therefore, they all spoke out, stating that they would stand with Ye Cangtian and testify for him.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, it's getting late, you can all go back!"
Seeing this, everyone did not linger, bowed again, and then left the Hidden Group Inn.
Not long after everyone left, Lan Yue and the Grim Reaper Squad brought back more than a dozen Flying Cloud Pavilion disciples.
With their cultivation, dealing with more than thirty Flying Cloud Pavilion disciples was not a problem, but these disciples were scattered and hidden.
It was also during the pursuit that they alerted the enemy, which was why they only captured more than a dozen people.
However, Ye Cangtian didn't care about all this. He just needed to capture some people from Flying Cloud Pavilion as evidence, which was enough.
After locking up these Flying Cloud Pavilion people, Yao Bao'er once again rushed to Ye Cangtian's side. She was still puzzled about how Ye Cangtian had arrived.
Under Yao Bao'er's questioning, Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly and then said, "Kongkong, come out and meet my brothers and sisters!"
Buzz!
A sound of space tearing came, and then a plump, crystal-clear little bug appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! What a fat grub, this must be delicious!"
Yao Bao'er had eaten all kinds of snacks and was no stranger to the deliciousness of grubs. As soon as she saw Kongkong, her mouth started watering.
"Little girl, why are you the same as this scoundrel! All you know is to eat!"
"Let me tell you, I'm not some grub, I'm a Primordial Void Beast!"
As soon as Yao Bao'er's voice fell, a mental fluctuation sounded in Yao Bao'er's mind.
Ye Cangtian glared at Kongkong and said, "If you're going to scold her, do it, but don't bring me into it!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian looked at the curious few and continued, "It is indeed a Primordial Void Beast. The teleportation gates in the Mustard Seed Space were all built by it. And the reason my senior sister and I could arrive in time is also thanks to it!"
Wow!
When everyone heard this explanation, their mouths twitched.
To be honest, they had thought that the teleportation gates in the Mustard Seed Space were built by Emperor Canglan!
After all, Emperor Canglan was a Heaven-Treading level expert, and he might have such an ability.
But now, to hear that the teleportation gates were built by a grub, they really couldn't believe it. However, since Ye Cangtian had said so, they had no choice but to believe it even if they didn't want to.
"Little bug, follow big sister from now on!"
"How about you teleport me to ancient ruins to collect medicinal herbs, and I'll refine pills for you?"
On the side, Yao Bao'er leaned towards Kongkong and began to entice it.
Although she had a lot of pills stored now, there would be a time when they would run out, and she would have to collect them again.
And during the collection process, she could also enjoy the thrill of spatial teleportation. The thought of it made her excited.
Hmph!
Kongkong snorted and said, "Little girl, I won't follow you! I've already signed a contract with the boss, and besides, I'm afraid you'll eat me!"
As Kongkong's voice fell, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
Seeing everyone teasing Kongkong, Ye Cangtian ignored them and walked to the side with Lan Yue and Qiangwei.
Just as they were about to discuss something, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Ye Cangtian quickly reminded Kongkong, and Kongkong instantly disappeared into the spatial rift.
The next moment, the sound of knocking on the door came.
Entering the hall were more than a dozen guards from Misty Rain Pavilion. Ye Cangtian also recognized the person in charge, who was Yan Yun'er, Qing Yan's favorite disciple.
To ensure that there were no incidents during the auction trade fair, Qing Yan had specifically arranged for Yan Yun'er to be in charge of the entire city.
Ye Cangtian?
Seeing Ye Cangtian with his hair full of white, Yan Yun'er was stunned.
After arriving here today, the people from the Hidden Group had gone to Misty Rain Pavilion to pay their respects, but Ye Cangtian was not among them.
At that time, Qing Yan had also asked about Ye Cangtian, but the answer given was that Ye Cangtian was recuperating in the Hidden Group and would likely not be able to participate in the auction trade fair.
It was for this reason that Yan Yun'er was somewhat surprised to see Ye Cangtian here.
However, Yan Yun'er quickly returned to normal.
After all, many forces participating in the auction trade fair had one group in the open and another in the dark.
This was not because of ulterior motives, but for self-preservation.
After all, treasures were being traded, and it was easy to attract covetous glances from others. Therefore, having an extra trump card meant having more self-preservation ability.
Thinking this, Yan Yun'er bowed to Ye Cangtian, "Mr. Ye, how is your injury?"
After all, Ye Cangtian had saved her life in the Mustard Seed Space, and not just once. Therefore, her resentment towards Ye Cangtian had long since disappeared.
Now, she truly cared about Ye Cangtian.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yun'er. My injuries have much improved, but it will take some time to fully recover."
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian directly changed the subject and asked, "Miss Yun'er, may I ask if you have any important business coming here so late?"
Hmm.
Yan Yun'er nodded upon hearing this and said, "Someone just reported that there was a fight here, so I came to check. Do you know about the movements outside, Mr. Ye?"
"I know!"
Ye Cangtian nodded, then lit a cigarette and said, "Someone just attacked the Hidden Group, and we repelled them."
Hearing this, Yan Yun'er frowned. She really didn't want to trouble Ye Cangtian, but she was in charge and had no choice but to offend him.
The next moment, she looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "If that's the case, please come back with me, Mr. Ye, for an investigation."
"It's late today, let's do it tomorrow!"
"I believe someone will not be able to sit still tomorrow, and I will personally explain to the Pavilion Master."
Ye Cangtian showed a playful smile. An investigation now was useless; it would only be his word against theirs. Even if something was proven, the Flying Cloud Pavilion would not admit it.
Therefore, it would be simpler to confront them directly tomorrow.
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Yan Yun'er nodded and found it difficult to say anything else, so she led the guards away from the Hidden Group Inn.
