"Oh! So that's it. It seems that Ye Shaoxia is also a hero who aspires to enter the world!" When Li Hai heard this, his eyes flashed with admiration.
Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and changed the topic without saying anything more.
"Master Li, when you invite me here this time, it must be more than just these trivial matters. You might as well tell me directly." Ye Xingchen asked straightforwardly.
Li Hai nodded when he heard this. He liked Ye Xingchen's straightforward attitude and stopped beating around the bush. He said in a deep voice, "I, Li Hai, am also an honest person. Since Ye Shaoxia has already guessed it, I will tell the truth." , I invite Young Master Ye to come to my Li Mansion this time because I have a request for you."
"Please tell me!" Ye Xingchen said straight to the point. He didn't believe that Li Hai invited him over just to apologize, for something as simple as eating.
Hearing this, Li Hai pondered for a moment, and finally decided to speak out: "I know that Ye Shaoxia is an expert who hides in the city, and I will not hide it from Ye Shaoxia. A treasure of our Li family has indeed been stolen. It is an ancestral treasure of our family." , it is very important to my Li family. I hope that Ye Shaoxia will help me recover the treasure."
"It's really strange that someone dares to steal from the famous Li family in Yuezhi County!" Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
Li Hai nodded and said, "That's true. But this is not the fault of anyone else. The blame lies with that thing. It's called the 'Blue Blood Jade Cicada'. It's made from the inner elixir of an ancient strange beast. It's extremely precious." , is an excellent treasure that can enhance the abilities of cultivators, which is why our Li family has retained it to this day. Only with the Jade Blood Jade Cicada can we quickly enhance the strength of our Li family. "
"It turns out it's such a treasure. This is a bit difficult. I wonder which thief stole your things?" Ye Xingchen continued to ask.
"I wonder if Ye Shaoxia knows a man named 'Yang Zui'?" Li Hai suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Yang Zui? Are you saying that Iemon's people stole your treasure?" Xia Yan'er exclaimed.
Li Hai nodded and said: "Yes, that's him. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of spirituality. Not only that, he also has a magic weapon that is extremely powerful. If we are not prepared, we may all be alive." Danger."
"That's strange. I heard from passers-by during the day that your cultivation has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Isn't it logical to deal with people like Yang Zui casually? Why do you need me to take action?" Ye Xingchen was a little confused.
"Ye Shaoxia doesn't know something. Although Yang Zui is only in the middle stage of spiritual life, he has a very evil magical weapon. The most important thing is that he is from the imperial court. Even if our Li family suffers a big loss, it is hard to break up with the imperial court. , then we need to ask Ye Shaoxia to take action in person!" Li Hai's tone became serious at the end.
"I see. But why do you think I will help with this? After all, we met by chance." Ye Xingchen said lightly.
But Li Hai said calmly: "This is also very simple. As long as Ye Shaoxia helps our Li family find the treasure, I can give Ye Shaoxia one hundred thousand taels of gold as a reward!"
"hiss!"
Hearing Li Hai's words, Ye Xingchen also took a breath. One hundred thousand taels of gold was a huge amount of wealth, enough for Ye Xingchen to use for several lifetimes.
"Ye Shaoxia, as long as you help me find that treasure, these one hundred thousand taels of gold will be yours." Seeing Ye Xingchen's silence, Li Hai said again.
"I, Ye Xingchen, am not a person who is blind to money. I"
"I am! Ye Xingchen, please agree!"
Xia Yan'er interrupted Ye Xingchen first and winked at him.
"Yan'er! You..." Ye Xingchen was a little helpless, she had learned so badly.
Li Hai smiled: "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I, Li Hai, always keep my word, and I will never go back on my word."
Hearing this, Ye Xingchen pondered for a moment and said, "Master Li, you are so sincere, of course I am willing to help you. I wonder where Yang Zui is now?"
"In the suburbs in the north of the city, there was a dense forest. He robbed the 'Blue Blood Jade Cicada' and hid in it to practice." Li Hai pointed to the north of the city.
"Okay, I'll leave now!" Ye Xingchen stood up and prepared to leave.
"Ye Shaoxia, wait a moment. It's getting late today. It's not too late to go tomorrow morning." Seeing this, Li Hai quickly called Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen thought about it and felt that what Li Hai said made sense. He was indeed a little tired tonight, so he would stay overnight in Li Mansion and go to Yang Zui's territory to find him early tomorrow morning.
"Okay, I'll follow the arrangements of the Li family leader." Ye Xingchen nodded in agreement.
Li Hai nodded with satisfaction and said: "Young Master Ye, please sit down. Don't worry. As long as you help me get the Jade Cicada back, my Li family owes you a favor. If you want to use my Li family in the future, just ask. I will do my best to help."
"Haha, Master Li is so polite." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and then sat down to rest.
Ye Xingchen stayed at Li's house for one night. The next day, Ye Xingchen got up early to wash up, put on a set of black clothes, carried his baggage, and left Li's house with Xia Yan'er, heading towards the northern suburbs of the city. Along the way, Ye Xingchen also carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that it was surrounded by barren mountains and lush trees, which was very suitable for hiding, and there were not many people around, making it more suitable for an ambush.
Of course, if you meet a master of Yang Zui's level, it will still be easy for him to detect it. Ye Xingchen did not act rashly, but observed first.
Arriving at the northern suburbs of the city, Ye Xingchen and Xia Yan'er found a hidden place, sneaked in quietly, and found the woods that Li Hai had mentioned.
"Yan'er, be careful! This Yang Zui is hiding in the woods, and I don't know how many helpers he has around him." Ye Xingchen whispered, while making a silent gesture towards Xia Yan'er.
Xia Yan'er nodded obediently, and the two of them lurked quietly, waiting for Yang Zui to come out, but they also knew that Yang Zui was not so easy to capture.
At this moment, the footsteps of several people walking suddenly came from deep in the bushes. Listening to the footsteps, there should be twenty or thirty people.
Ye Xingchen frowned secretly, was Yang Zui too cautious? To send so many people to snatch Li Hai's treasure, it seems that Li Hai is still very important in Yang Zui's eyes.
"Yan'er, once you discover the enemy attack, run away immediately. I will hold these people and try to lure Yang Zui out." Ye Xingchen whispered to Xia Yan'er.
"Well, I won't help you, don't worry!" Xia Yan'er nodded, indicating that she understood.
There was a smile on Ye Xingchen's lips, but he liked Xia Yan'er's duplicitous words very much.
