After hearing Wu Fan explain their action steps, Ye Li became more and more aware of the treasure hunting team's situation.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, "Then, you can report to me later about the details of the ruins we are about to explore. After I have a clear understanding, I will formulate a mission plan."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Wu Fan hurriedly lowered his head and accepted the order. Now he didn't dare to mess with Ye Li anymore.
Afterwards, after taking a look at Ye Li and Dongfang Caiyi, Wu Fan took the initiative to leave.
After all, he is so old and still has a good eye. Ye Li and Dongfang Caiyi obviously have something private to say, and it would be a bit tactless for him to stay here for too long.
After watching Wu Fan leave, Ye Li suddenly remembered that he didn't know where to live after coming here, so he slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to ask him where I should live."
Dongfang Caiyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Ye Li tenderly and said: "The room behind you is where the leader lives. There is also a room for handling official business, which is also used for meeting guests."
Hearing Dongfang Caiyi's words, Ye Li turned his head to look at the big house behind him, nodded, and said: "I see, it seems that this is where I will live from now on.
Caiyi, let's go in and sit for a while. We haven't seen each other for many years. I... I miss you a little."
When Ye Li said the last sentence, he was more nervous than when he was fighting the monster. These were the most intimate words he had ever said to Dongfang Caiyi.
As expected, when Dongfang Caiyi heard his words, her white jade-like face instantly turned deep red.
However, she did not have absolute resistance in her heart. Instead, she felt a little sweet, and this emotion made her a little addicted.
After a brief silence, Dongfang Caiyi did not respond to Ye Li's words. She just nodded and stepped into the house first.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, but then he felt happy in his heart. Although Dongfang Caiyi did not directly accept his last sentence, she did not express any objection either.
The first room in the house was the reception room, where the team leader and deacon handled official business. After the two sat down at the table, Dongfang Caiyi asked, "Have you... been doing well these past few years? I've always wanted to tell you in person, thank you for saving me when I was in the sea."
Dongfang Caiyi's expression was full of tenderness. Ye Li had risked his life to save her several times. Although it seemed dangerous before, Ye Li was able to turn danger into safety and take her out of crisis.
But the last time, she really thought Ye Li was dead. Even Ye Li himself thought he was dead.
During the two years when Dongfang Caiyi thought Ye Li was dead, she wanted so much to say thank you to Ye Li in person again. When the news came back that Ye Li was still alive, Dongfang Caiyi really cried with joy.
Now after meeting Ye Li, she finally accomplished what she had always wanted to do, which was to say thank you to Ye Li in person.
As she spoke, she looked at Ye Li in front of her, and suddenly she felt her heart so at peace.
When Ye Li heard Dongfang Caiyi's thanks, he smiled softly and said, "Caiyi, you're welcome.
Thanks to the blessing of saving you, I have had more opportunities in the past few years and have traveled to many places.
This adventure has brought me many adventures, which not only broadened my horizons, but also helped me reach my current level of cultivation."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Dongfang Caiyi was a little curious and asked, "Then why don't you tell me briefly what you have experienced?"
At this moment, Dongfang Caiyi's cold temperament had completely disappeared, and she spoke like an ordinary girl.
Ye Li stared at Dongfang Caiyi's perfect face in a daze until she blushed and showed a hint of anger. Then he reacted, rubbed his head sheepishly, and replied, "Caiyi, after I saved you, I was dragged into the sea by those monsters.
The power of the whirlpool in the sea was too strong. I couldn’t resist the suction of the whirlpool and was pulled into it, sinking to the bottom of the sea…”
Ye Li then told Dongfang Caiyi how he was sucked into the sea and brought to the Continent of Miracles.
However, Ye Li did not reveal all of his experiences on the Continent of Miracles. He just said that he had been traveling there, encountered some adventures, experienced some battles, and was fortunately able to find his way home.
This is not to say that he does not trust Dongfang Caiyi and dares not to tell the truth, but some things are of great importance and Ye Li can only keep his mouth shut. After all, the enemy he has to face now is too strong. Telling Dongfang Caiyi everything about himself may not be a good thing for Dongfang Caiyi.
Ye Li chose to talk about his experience of going to the Continent of Miracles and some of his subsequent experiences.
As for the matters concerning the Haiyuan Continent, Ye Li did not say anything. As for the changes in his cultivation, he still used the same excuses he had given to Qi Wei and the others.
Although she didn't hear Ye Li's complete account of his experience, just hearing Ye Li say the part he could say made Dongfang Caiyi feel envious.
Ye Li’s experience was so rich and much more interesting than she had imagined.
Dongfang Caiyi really wanted to go out and explore the world, but the people around her watched her too closely, so she had no chance to go out and explore the world like Ye Li.
When she said these words, Ye Li also said: "Cai Yi, although adventure is exciting, it is really dangerous.
There were many times when I was able to survive purely by luck. If it weren't for my good luck, I don't know how many times I would have died by now.
Elder Qi and the others don't want you, Caiyi, to go out and explore the world, mostly for your own good. After all, with your cultivation conditions, you really don't need to venture into a deadly place like I did.
I was trying to find enough resources for cultivation. Actually, there are some places I don’t necessarily want to venture into. Most of these experiences were just for fun with the bag in hand.”
After hearing Ye Li's words, Dongfang Caiyi was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I know Grandpa Qi and Grandma Mei have good intentions, but I am also a man of the martial arts world after all. I still want to make my way in the martial arts world, rather than staying in the Imperial City and being surrounded and guarded by a group of people every day."
The two chatted in the house for a long time. Ye Li didn't want to separate from Dongfang Caiyi at all, and it was also the first time that Dongfang Caiyi chatted with someone for so long.
Although he was the one listening to Ye Li talking most of the time, this was the first time she felt such a comfortable feeling of being together.
The two sat together and chatted until the evening. Wu Fan had come here many times, and every time he heard the two talking at the door, he had no choice but to leave.
