Ye Cangtian returned to the villa, and Aunt Zhang, the housekeeper, was also very happy. She immediately made some supper for the two of them.
"It's good that Mr. Ye is back!"
"During the time you weren't here, Miss ate even less!" Aunt Zhang couldn't help but mention it to Ye Cangtian.
Tang Xinwan's face turned red, and she retorted, "I just couldn't eat because of company matters, it has nothing to do with him!"
Ye Cangtian drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and laughed, "Don't explain, explaining is covering up. I'll think you couldn't eat because you missed me!"
"Narcissist, I would never miss you!" Tang Xinwan snorted, too lazy to argue with this person.
An hour later.
After washing up, they each went back to their rooms to sleep.
Tang Xinwan lay in bed, her mind racing.
Now she felt more and more that a trace of affection had unconsciously developed between her and this guy. Although this guy was sometimes indecent, she didn't resist it at all.
Moreover, since he had left for the past half month, she would worry and her mind would often conjure up his face.
Even Tang Xinwan herself couldn't explain when she started having feelings for this guy!
In the other bedroom.
Ye Cangtian was also not asleep yet. Wearing only shorts, he took out his belongings from his backpack.
It was really tiring to act in Saudi Arabia this time. Not only did he have to switch identities between Xuan Qi and Ye Cangtian, but he even changed his clothes and bags.
There weren't many things in the bag, just a set of clothes he wore as Xuan Qi, a silver mask, and a pile of crystals whose purpose he didn't know yet.
He now possessed eleven crystals, six of which were obtained in the outer passage of the ruins, and the other five were rewards from Lord Zi Long.
He picked up a crystal and examined it carefully. This thing seemed very hard and contained a unique energy.
"How do I use this thing?" Ye Cangtian was a little worried.
Judging by how precious the Dark Association valued this item, it could be seen that such crystals were beneficial to martial artists, otherwise, they wouldn't be given as rewards.
He thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
This was Xuan Jiu's private number, which Xuan Jiu had left him when he left last time.
The call rang for a long time before the other party finally answered, and then the fat man's panting, dizzy voice came through, "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me... Xuan Qi!"
"Damn, I was just thinking of ways to contact you. I say, my dear brother Xuan Qi, can you tell your brothers to stop running around everywhere?"
On the phone, Xuan Jiu complained bitterly.
Lord Zi Long had assigned him a mission: to apprehend the members of the Death God mercenary squad.
He knew Ye Cangtian's identity, so he intended to go easy on him and make Ye Cangtian owe him a favor or something in the future.
But what was the result?
Before he could go easy on them, he himself was exhausted. He spent all day chasing two members of the Death God mercenary squad.
Not only did he fail to see the people, but he also accidentally intruded into the base of a large mercenary group, was chased and killed by thousands of mercenaries, and even lost two subordinates.
Now that Lord Zi Long knew the situation, he only said two words—useless!
So Xuan Jiu truly wished he could die. He thought he had taken on the easiest mission, but he never expected this mission to be so deadly.
Were the members of the Death God mercenary squad all freaks?
Ye Cangtian held back his laughter on the phone. Even without seeing it with his own eyes, he could imagine the fat man's expression at this moment.
He suppressed his laughter but said seriously, "I will try to contact them about this matter, but I don't know if I can reach them. Brother Xuan Jiu, I have something to ask you now!"
He inquired about how to use the crystals.
Xuan Jiu was silent for a moment, then retorted, "You don't know how to use it? Didn't they give you a user manual when you joined the Dark Association?"
"..."
User manual? Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes. Of course, he didn't have one, as he wasn't truly absorbed into the Dark Association.
"How about this, it's not convenient for me right now. There are armed forces everywhere here. Can you hear the gunshots? I think I'm surrounded. I'll send you an email after I get out."
Ye Cangtian could indeed hear the sound of artillery fire from the phone. It seemed Xuan Jiu had been led to a chaotic battlefield by those two guys, Scorpion and the other. What bad luck.
The call was interrupted.
He thought for a moment, then dialed another number.
It only rang once before the other side answered. It was Viper's voice, "What is it, boss?"
"I heard you two are being hunted?"
"Boss, how do you know? There are a few idiots chasing us, but they're quite stupid. We've been leading them around like dogs. I guess they're now surrounded by local armed forces!" Viper said dismissively.
"You two weren't there?" Ye Cangtian asked in surprise.
"We left there long ago. Scorpion wanted to see bikinis, so we came to the Maldives!"
"Oh, then it's nothing!"
Ye Cangtian silently hung up the phone, then took a deep breath. These two guys were amazing, making a Xuan-level deacon and several Huang-level members run around like headless chickens.
He felt like sending his condolences to the fat man Xuan Jiu!
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the eleven crystals on the bedsheet. Ye Cangtian decided to ignore them for now and took out another seal from his backpack.
"Imperial Dragon Villa!"
"Where exactly is this place? The old guy's message was so unclear, it's really a rip-off... ripping off his disciple!" Ye Cangtian rubbed the seal, feeling speechless.
China was so vast, he couldn't possibly search city by city!
It seemed he would have to ask Secretary Liu when he had time. With her status, it shouldn't be difficult to find out if there was an Imperial Dragon Villa anywhere in China!
Putting away the seal, Ye Cangtian finally put on the silver mask.
The biggest difference between the silver mask and the bronze mask was that the silver mask had more functions. It could not only receive information but also send messages.
In other words, Xuan-level experts could communicate with each other, but it seemed they could only do so within a hundred kilometers.
Another function was that he could see the location of his subordinates of Huang-level, but again, only within a hundred kilometers.
At this moment, Ye Cangtian put on the mask and immediately spotted a yellow dot in front of him, with the distance displayed, about one kilometer away.
"This must be Huang San, right?" Ye Cangtian's lips curved upwards.
A kilometer away, who else could it be but Huang San? This guy had disembarked from the plane with him in Yangzhou, and his mission was to monitor him.
Currently, only this one dot was displayed, which clearly meant only Huang San was in Yangzhou. As for Huang Wu, he probably hadn't arrived yet!
"As expected, Xuan-level is the backbone of the Dark Association!"
Ye Cangtian took off the mask and sighed slightly.
If it weren't for his good luck and accidentally gaining the appreciation of Zi Long, who promoted him to Xuan-level deacon. If he had been placed under another Xuan-level deacon, he might have been exposed at any moment.
