The brother and sister were in the office, discussing their trip to the Dark Association.
After all, the Dark Association and the Huaxia forces had deep-seated grievances. Although they were now under Xingyuan's control, borrowing troops would still require a suitable reason.
This was to avoid affecting Xingyuan's prestige within the Dark Association.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and in an instant, Feifei entered the office.
"Feifei, you're here just in time. I have something to tell you! From now on, all my affairs are to be handed over to him!"
"If you have any reports, just find him directly."
"Sister is going on vacation, to have a good rest for a while. The Hidden Group will be handed over to you..."
Seeing Feifei enter, Dongfang Mingyue quickly called her over and began to instruct her.
It was evident that she was eagerly anticipating this vacation.
"Don't worry, Lord Mingyue, Feifei will not disappoint you!"
Feifei responded, then turned to Ye Cangtian and said, "Lord Ye, someone from headquarters is here and insists on seeing the administrator of the Hidden Group. What do you think..."
Originally, the person intended to see Dongfang Mingyue, but since Dongfang Mingyue had just said that, Feifei could only inform Ye Cangtian about it.
"Uh..."
After a few days of peace, now there was more trouble?
A faint sense of foreboding, Ye Cangtian glanced at Dongfang Mingyue, who immediately turned her head away, not even looking at him.
Her expression seemed to say, "I've handed over the Hidden Group to you, and you are now the administrator. Of course, you should handle such matters, don't bother me!"
Seeing Dongfang Mingyue's demeanor, Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly, then sighed and left the room with Feifei.
...
Hidden Group Reception Hall.
When Ye Cangtian arrived, a man was already in the hall.
The man was relatively young, appearing to be in his early thirties.
He was wearing a red robe and a young hair crown, making him particularly eye-catching.
On the other side, when the man saw Ye Cangtian, his brows furrowed.
He was not unfamiliar with Ye Cangtian, but the person who had come was not the one he wished to see.
The next moment, he slowly spoke, "Why are you the one who came? I wanted to see the administrator of the Hidden Group, Dongfang Mingyue!"
"I am the one who came."
Ye Cangtian swept a glance over him, muttering to himself, "Are quasi-heavenly experts a dime a dozen now?
Another one has appeared, and judging by his aura, his cultivation is subtly above Wan Mingxuan's!"
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian said, "Moreover, I am now the administrator of the Hidden Group. As for Sister Mingyue, she has been overworked recently and has decided to rest for a few days!"
He paused, then continued, "So, if you have anything, you can tell me!"
"That's different!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the man's expression changed, and he replied with only four words.
"Heh, he's looking down on me!"
Ye Cangtian muttered to himself, then said with a smile, "I'm very sorry, but you've come at the wrong time. You only have two options now: either tell me, or please go back and come back later..."
"You..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the man's face clearly turned ugly, but he could only endure it in front of Ye Cangtian.
After all, the other party was a heavenly-level expert, and he did not want to clash with him easily.
Thinking this, the man then said, "I am Yan Biao from the Blazing Fire Academy. I am here on orders to deliver a letter, but this letter must be personally handed to Dongfang Mingyue..."
Blazing Fire Academy? Delivering a letter?
Ye Cangtian was stunned. What was meant to come had come.
He was also not unfamiliar with the Blazing Fire Academy; it was a peak power on par with the Swift Wind Tower.
In his opinion, since the Blazing Fire Academy had come, it was likely for the Four Seals, but he hadn't expected them to be merely delivering a letter.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian muttered to himself, "Is the Blazing Fire Academy so arrogant? Sending a letter requires dispatching a quasi-heavenly expert?"
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian hesitated for a moment, then finally looked at Feifei and said, "Feifei, go and invite Sister Mingyue here."
There was no other way. This letter was for Dongfang Mingyue, and it wouldn't be good to intercept it directly. It was better to have Dongfang Mingyue sign for it.
As for the content of the letter, if Dongfang Mingyue didn't mind, he could help handle it.
Thinking this, he looked at Yan Biao and said, "Please have a seat. Sister Mingyue will be here shortly."
Yan Biao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
Seeing that Yan Biao had no intention of speaking, Ye Cangtian didn't try to make small talk. He lit a cigarette and took a puff.
Since the other party wasn't speaking, the purpose of his visit should be contained within that letter.
Therefore, as long as Dongfang Mingyue arrived, everything would become clear. There was no need for him to inquire, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
A short while later, Dongfang Mingyue slowly arrived in the hall.
However, she didn't even look at Yan Biao, her gaze fixed solely on Ye Cangtian, as if questioning him, "Did you intentionally disturb me for such a minor matter?"
Sensing Dongfang Mingyue's gaze, Ye Cangtian smiled helplessly, then turned to Yan Biao and said, "Yan Biao, this is Dongfang Mingyue."
"I know!"
Yan Biao replied indifferently, then got up and went to Dongfang Mingyue, took out the letter, and handed it to her with both hands.
What's going on?
Seeing Yan Biao's respectful demeanor, Ye Cangtian's brows instantly furrowed.
Although he didn't know much about these peak powers, he knew they all had one common trait.
That was their arrogance and disdain for others.
If they were facing someone from another peak power, they might restrain themselves somewhat.
But if they encountered someone outside of the peak powers, they would look down on them with utter contempt, regardless of the other person's identity or cultivation.
In their eyes, as long as they had the backing of their peak power, they could act with impunity in any force!
For example, the way Yan Biao had treated him earlier, without any trace of respect.
It was for this reason that Ye Cangtian was so surprised by Yan Biao's current actions.
"Hmm?"
Just as Ye Cangtian was wondering, Dongfang Mingyue had already read the letter, her brows furrowed. She casually handed the letter to Ye Cangtian.
Seeing the letter being handed over, Ye Cangtian quickly took it and scanned it.
The content of the letter was simple, just a few sentences, essentially inviting Dongfang Mingyue to visit.
At such a critical juncture, accepting such a request might have ulterior motives.
To put it bluntly, Ye Cangtian was worried that the other party would take Dongfang Mingyue hostage.
Thinking this, he looked at Dongfang Mingyue.
However, the next moment, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed.
What he could think of, Dongfang Mingyue could naturally also think of.
But the problem was, Dongfang Mingyue had not yet expressed her stance!
Logically speaking, Dongfang Mingyue should have politely refused such a request.
But why was she silent, and instead showing a troubled expression?
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the letter again.
His gaze finally fell on the signature. Could this Yan Shenghui have some special significance for Dongfang Mingyue?
After all, he couldn't find anything special in the entire letter!
"Miss Mingyue, may I know your intentions?"
Seeing that Dongfang Mingyue was still silent, Yan Biao quickly asked.
"Ah?"
Dongfang Mingyue suddenly came back to her senses. After a moment of silence, she said, "Yan Biao, you must be tired from your journey. Why don't you stay in Dragon City for now and relax? As for this matter, there's no rush."
"Miss Mingyue, you don't have to be too troubled by this matter. It's entirely up to your heart."
"If you really don't wish to, I will report back, and that will be it..."
Hearing Dongfang Mingyue's words, Yan Biao quickly stepped forward and said, without any hint of coercion, appearing to be full of sincerity.
"Alas, I cannot decide at the moment."
Dongfang Mingyue sighed and looked at him, continuing, "I was too exhausted before, which caused some old injuries, so I need to recuperate for a while. This matter can only be postponed..."
Old injury?
Upon hearing this, Yan Biao quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag and poured out a pill from it.
"Miss Mingyue, I happen to have a healing pill here. Its efficacy is excellent. You should take it quickly, and your injuries will surely heal soon..."
