"Ye Li is here, haha, it's really Ye Li who is here, we haven't seen each other for a long time!!!
When we learned about your 'death', we old guys couldn't help but cry together, and Hongdou even fainted from crying.
Later, when we found out you were alive, we old guys laughed and celebrated. Every time you came to our Merchants Association to do business, they would report back to us. As long as we told each other that you were still alive, we old guys would be extremely happy. "
As Li Xifeng spoke, he quickly stood up from his chair, ran towards Ye Li, and gave him a tight hug.
When Ye Li heard Li Xifeng's words, he suddenly felt warm in his heart. Li Xifeng and others could be said to be the first group of friends he made in the martial arts world, and they were friends regardless of age.
The feelings that the elders have for Ye Li are just like the feelings that a grandfather has for his grandson at home, very strong.
Ye Li saved several people's lives and saved their lives. From that time on, several simple old men truly regarded Ye Li as their own relative.
"Uncle Li, I miss you guys too. I can still remember all the adventures we had before.
I'm working outside all year round now, so I seldom have the chance to see you guys. This time we must have a good get-together together.
Hongdou should have grown up by now. If you count carefully, it has been almost ten years since we met."
Ye Li hugged Li Xifeng tightly, then said with a smile.
Li Xifeng nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it has been almost ten years, and Hongdou is now seventeen years old.
She has now become a talisman master, and has joined the Huahai Sect, becoming the last disciple of Sect Master Lin Qingshu."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard the words "Hua Hai Men" and said, "Hong Dou joined Hua Hai Men!
To be able to become the master's last disciple, that girl must be extremely talented!!!"
Ye Li had some intersection with Huahaimen in the past, and he is even now a special elder of Huahaimen. After all, he saved the entire Huahaimen with his own efforts, including Lin Qingshu and others, who were all rescued by him personally.
“Hey, that girl does have some talent, but it’s not entirely because of her talent that she was accepted as a closed disciple.
I don't know how Sect Leader Lin found out about your relationship with our Traveling Merchants Association, and he also accidentally found out that Hongdou knew you, so he took that girl in as his closed disciple.
In the end, it's all thanks to you, Ye Li!"
Hearing Li Xifeng's words, Ye Li couldn't help but be stunned and said, "There is actually such a thing!!!"
Li Xifeng laughed and said, "That's right. Red Bean told me that you are still the special elder of Huahaimen, but it seems that you have never been back to Huahaimen."
Ye Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I have been to many places with my name now, but I am entangled in worldly affairs and I don't have the ability to clone myself. It has been a long time since I have been to Huahaimen."
Xiang Haoyan, who had left earlier, had already notified Lin Shiyu and others without waiting for Li Xifeng's instructions. Just as Ye Li and Li Xifeng were chatting, four old men pushed the door and walked in with red faces, and the excitement on their faces could not be concealed.
"Ye Li is here, it's really Ye Li!!!"
"Good boy, you haven't come to see us old people for such a long time. I thought you had forgotten us!!!"
"Old Five, what nonsense are you talking about? Ye Li is not as free as you are. At his age, it is time for him to go out and explore the world and improve his cultivation. How could he come to you to chat for no reason?"
When several old men saw Ye Li, they started talking at once. While talking, they walked up to Ye Li and gave him a hug.
After so many years, the wrinkles on the faces of several old men have become deeper. Although the success of the Traveling Merchants Association has brought them a lot of income, and they can also rely on elixirs and other things to prolong their lifespans and slow down aging, after all, several old men are weak in spiritual practice, so their lifespans are no different from those of ordinary people.
Considering their current age, aging is a normal thing.
"Uncle Lin, Sister Hua, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, it's been such a long time since we last met!!!"
Ye Li also greeted several people with a smile. The other party's enthusiasm also infected him, making him really feel like he was going home to visit his elders.
After sitting down and exchanging some pleasantries, the few of them became quite clear about Ye Li's movements. After all, the Travelling Merchants Association had always been paying attention to Ye Li's situation, so every time Ye Li went to the Travelling Merchants Association's base to seek help, someone would report the news to them.
"By the way, Ye Li, you came to see us this time and called us old guys together. It must be something important, right? "
After the greetings, Li Xifeng finally perked up and started asking about business.
All the old people had serious expressions on their faces and stopped laughing.
Ye Li nodded and said seriously: "I did come here this time to tell you something important, and I also want to ask for your help."
"Ye Li, you are the law enforcement elder of my Youshang Guild and a core member. You don't need to ask us for help. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to help you."
Lin Shiyu said.
Ye Li nodded and said, "What I am going to say next is of great importance and is absolutely confidential. I wonder how soundproof this room is?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Lin Shiyu quickly pressed a crystal stone at hand, and immediately a soundproof shield appeared around them, covering the room.
"Ye Li, what exactly is this secret!!!"
Li Xifeng couldn't help but ask.
Ye Li did not hide anything at the moment and told everyone about the Great Soul Heaven. He also informed Li Xifeng and others about the disappearance of the Great Soul Heaven organization.
After hearing this, Li Xifeng and the others looked at each other with a look of surprise and doubt on their faces.
"Ye Li, our intelligence personnel have indeed noticed the hidden waves in the martial arts world over the years, but we have always thought that it is just that the world has been peaceful for too long, and as usual, someone is going to come out and stir up conflicts.
Only war and unrest can change the status of various forces in the martial arts world, and some of the old and decadent families will also be eliminated.
But now after listening to you, I understand that behind the dark tide of the martial arts world, there is actually such a powerful mysterious organization hidden, and what they are doing is actually helping the outside world to destroy their own world! "
Li Xifeng is a very upright person. When he heard about this situation, he was immediately filled with indignation and his face was full of anger.
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. This organization that is loyal to the Great Soul Heaven is the common enemy of all living beings in our world. What I want to talk about today is related to them."
