Elder Bai was in complete disbelief that a mere 16-year-old teenager was the one who had devastated a whole sub-section of the Emperor’s Imperial Guards Reserves. His face showed an expression of surprise that could not be hidden.
This meant that the teenager before his eyes was a fighter in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm!
This level of talent was already pretty frightening.
In the past, even Ye Qing could not reach this level of strength at such a young age.
“Not bad. The carriage team being able to defeat Cao Clan’s reserve sub-section can be considered as us getting one back at them. However, the other team suffered a heavy defeat,” Elder Bai sighed.
Hearing this, the expressions on Zhan Jun, Manager Qi, and Ye Mo’s faces all changed immediately, as did Xiao Cao’s, who had just dismounted from the carriage.
Xiao Cao immediately rushed out and ran towards Elder Bai. “Grandpa Bai, what happened to Elder Ying and the others?”
“They are alright, it’s just that the map was stolen. The three of them are heavily injured and are already receiving treatment,” said Elder Bai.
“Elder Bai, the Qi Clan is ultimately royalty. Why is the Cao Clan daring enough to steal the possessions of the Qi Clan? Ye Mo asked, curious.
“The few big families like the Cao and Qi families may appear to be harmonious on the surface, but there is plenty of internal competition going on in private. As long as no important figure of the family gets killed, most things are allowed to go by with one eye closed,” said Elder Bai. “Elder Qi, bring these escort team experts to rest in the living room and prepare good wine and food to welcome them.” As he finished speaking, Elder Bai faced Xiao Cao and said, “Xiao Cao, come with me.”
“Young master, I will find you later!” After that, Xiao Cao followed Elder Bai to the Qi living quarters.
Meanwhile, Ye Mo and the rest followed Manager Qi to the living room to rest.
The living room was extremely grand. Most of the members of the escort team had courted death during their journey. Entering the living room, all of their eyes sparkled.
Not long after, Manager Qi entered once again with multiple servants carrying trays of good food and fine wine, placing them neatly beside the table before they left the living room.
“Everyone, it has been a tough journey.” As Manager Qi spoke, he took out a bag of Mixed Energy Pills from his Dimensional Bracelet. He said, “This is everyone’s reward – 200 Mixed Energy Pills each. As for the captain of the escort team, Ye Mo, you will definitely be rewarded for successfully helping the carriage team defeat the Cao Clan. What do you want? So long as it is within reason, the Qi Clan will be able to satisfy you.”
One could say that Ye Mo being able to devastate a whole sub-section of reserve guards was a major blow to the Cao Clan’s arrogant air of superiority. He was definitely deserving of a reward.
Hearing that, the first thought that came to Ye Mo’s mind was to see Qi Ying. However, this thought was immediately killed off in his mind. Now that he was in the Heaven’s Wall City, letting other people know about his relationship with Qi Ying benefitted no one.
“I need five Level Two Dark Elemental Heart-stones, but I’m not sure if Manager Qi will be able to provide that for me,” Ye Mo said after thinking for a moment.
“Dark Elemental Heartst-ones, sure. Later, I will go to the warehouse to grab five Level Two Dark Elemental Heartstones for you. All of you can dine here. These are all famous delicacies of the Heaven’s Wall City.”
After speaking, Manager Qi left.
Staring at all the good food on the table, Ye Mo’s appetite opened up as well. The group started to taste the various delicious dishes, and in a moment, everything on the table was polished off.
“Satisfying. This mission not only allowed us to be taken care of by the Qi Family but also gave us 200 Mixed Energy Pills as reward. I’ll get to boast about this when I return.”
“Haha, this time, it is all thanks to Ye Mo. Otherwise, we would not be receiving such treatment.”
“Haha, don’t say that. It is fate that allowed everyone to gather together.”
“Ye Mo, you are a member of the Qingyun League. Is everyone there geniuses like you?” one of the fighters asked.
“Yes. People who are able to enter the Qingyun League are all talented youngsters from various cities, the elite among the elites,” said Ye Mo.
“You’re saying that there are talents in the Qingyun League who are even stronger than you?”
Hearing that, Ye Mo’s heart started to question that statement: are there people in the Qingyun League as talented as him? He himself did not know!
“Ye Mo’s strength is hard to find even in the Heaven’s Wall City. I think Ye Mo must be a leader amongst men in the Qingyun League.” Manager Qi’s voice could be heard outside the living, only for him to be seen carrying a bag.
The members of the escort team were all lost for words. For Ye Mo to receive such praise from Manager Qi, his talent level must be ranked at one of the top positions in the Qingyun League.
Thinking about how they were unimpressed with Ye Mo in the past, they could not help out reveal sheepish smiles on their faces.
“Ye Mo, there are five Level Two Dark Elemental Heart-stones in there,” Manager Qi said as he threw the bag to Ye Mo.
Opening the bag, Ye Mo took a look and confirmed that there were five Dark Elemental Heart-stones and heaved a sigh of relief. Now, he had collected eight of the dark elemental heart-stones. Adding on to the two dark elemental heart-stones promised by Hu Batian, everything amounted to the 10 heart-stones that he needed. The mission that Xuan Ji had handed him was now done.
“Many thanks!” Ye Mo said with his hands clasped
“Everyone, today, all of you shall spend the night here with the Qi Clan. You can walk around the Heaven’s Wall City. This is the order card of our Qi Clan. With this, you will be able to enter and leave the Qi Clan back garden.”
Manager Qi handed out order cards to the 12 people before leaving.
The 12 of them prepared to properly explore the Heaven’s Wall City and feel the aura of the Emperor Capital.
Just as the 12 of them were preparing to leave the Qi Clan living quarters, Xiao Cao ran over hurriedly and pulled Ye Mo away to one side.
“Young master, you have to leave the Qi household immediately and escape back to the Qingyun League,” Xiao Cao said anxiously, panting for breath.
“What’s wrong? Xiao Cao? Why do I need to escape?” Ye Mo asked, surprised.
“That Cao Sanshi told Cao Zheng about what had happened between us. Cao Zheng has arrived at the Qi Clan entrance to cause a ruckus, and he’s just rearing for a fight. He is definitely going to capture you and kill you,” Xiao Cao said anxiously.
“The nerve of Cao Zheng to cause a commotion at the Qi Clan,” Ye Mo said, extremely stunned.
“Indeed. Cao Zheng, using his own talents, has already reached the True Energy Realm at a young age and is regarded as one of the Five Heaven’s Wall Talents. No one dares to offend him. He thinks that something has happened between me and you and is trying to kill you,” said Xiao Cao.
“At this point, the misunderstanding regarding our relationship will never be cleared up,” Ye Mo said as he frowned.
“Cao Sanshi, may I know why you are here at our back garden?” Manager Qi immediately asked upon seeing Cao Sanshi and a few men barge into the back garden.
“Why am I here? You’re still asking me why am I here? Hurry up and hand over Ye Mo. He touched Young Master Cao’s arranged woman. Young Master Cao is definitely going to capture him and bring him to the palace to be tortured in order to ease his mind.” It appeared that Cao Sanshi had completely recovered.
“Cao Sanshi, I have yet to settle things with you for raiding my carriage team, and now you dare come to the Qi Clan to make arrests?” Manager Qi grunted coldly.
Some of the men of the Qi Clan also held eager stares. Xiao Cao had yet to agree to Cao Zheng’s proposal but was already internally arranged to be his woman.
“There’s nothing much that we fear doing. This is something concerning Young Master Cao. Even Master Cao holds Xiao Cao in high regard. This issue is of the utmost urgency. Capture Ye Mo even if Master Qi appears. Search the back garden,” Cao Sanshi instructed as the reserve team behind him charged forward while he rushed into the back garden.
Bang!
Then, everyone present could not even imagine what they saw next: Cao Sanshi had just rushed into the back garden but was immediately sent flying out backwards, a stream of blood trickling down the corner of his mouth.
The reserve guards were instantly in an uproar.
“Who is that?”
Elder Bai was in complete disbelief that a mere 16-year-old teenager was the one who had devastated a whole sub-section of the Emperor’s Imperial Guards Reserves. His face showed an expression of surprise that could not be hidden.
