"Master Ye, you just saved our lives. Maybe it was just a piece of cake for you, but for us, it is a great favor!
If you don't mind, please come to our house and sit for a while so that we can express our gratitude."
Qi Huanfeng clasped his fists and bowed to Ye Li, then invited him in with a grateful look on his face.
Ye Li thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I have nothing to do now anyway, so I'll bother you for a while."
The reason why he agreed to the other party's proposal was not to get the other party to express gratitude, but to take the opportunity to understand the world.
Once on the Continent of Miracles, Ye Li pretended to be a young man who had just started out. Now he can also play the role of a young man who has just started out but is not very experienced in the world.
It is reasonable to use this identity to cover up the fact that he knows nothing about this continent, and it is not easy to be exposed.
Qi Huanfeng himself felt that it would be impossible to invite Ye Li to his house. After all, a young man like Ye Li, who was so young but so powerful, had very high standards. For a small chamber of commerce like his Qi's Chamber of Commerce, he could not expect the other party to pay even a glance at him.
However, to his surprise, Ye Li actually accepted the invitation, which immediately made him excited.
"Sir, your presence here will surely bring honor to my humble abode, so how can it be considered as a disturbance
Please follow me, my lord. Our Qi's Chamber of Commerce's manor is not far ahead."
Qi Huanfeng was afraid that Ye Li would go back on his word, so he hurriedly ran ahead to lead the way for Ye Li and took Ye Li towards the Qi family manor.
The other members of the Qi family caravan looked at Ye Li with admiration. They were members of a small family and had never seen such a powerful young man.
Ye Li ignored the looks of these people and just followed Qi Huanfeng.
His current strength is much stronger than when he was in the Continent of Miracles, so he is no longer so restrained. Even if he has arrived in a completely new continent, he is not too afraid of encountering enemies.
This is the benefit brought by strength. After all, the total number of masters above the Divine Phase Stage is not too large.
Following Qi Huanfeng, Ye Li soon arrived in front of a manor. Outside the manor hung a plaque with two words that Ye Li did not recognize.
The reason why he said he didn't quite recognize it, rather than not recognizing it, was because Ye Li always felt that these two characters were written as "Qi Mansion", but they were different from what he knew. He knew that this must be ancient writing. Although it had a long history, it was in the same vein as their writing after all, so it was reasonable that he could recognize it to some extent now.
"Mr. Ye, please come in. Please forgive me for the simple shed."
Qi Huanfeng smiled and said something polite.
Ye Li did not take the words "simple shed" seriously. After all, the scale of the manor in front of him was more than twice that of the Ye family compound. Judging from the outer walls and the condition of the houses, the Qi family Chamber of Commerce should be very wealthy.
Of course, Ye Li didn’t care about these things. The only thing he cared about was the news about Black Soul Gold.
After Qi Huanfeng walked into the villa, he immediately gave a few instructions to the servant next to him. The servant looked at Ye Li in surprise and then left in a hurry.
Qi Huanfeng turned to Ye Li and said, "Mr. Ye, please come with me to the reception room and sit for a while. I have asked someone to invite my father Qi Tianping, who is the current head of the Qi family."
Hearing Qi Huanfeng's words, Ye Li nodded, still looking around with a relaxed expression on his face.
After looking around, Ye Li discovered that the overall strength of the Qi family should be not much different from that of their Ye family, perhaps slightly weaker.
But generally speaking, they are all in the area of sixth-grade or fifth-grade families. Of course, Ye Li doesn't know whether there is a grade division for forces on this continent, but generally speaking, Ye Li has a rough estimate of the strength of the Qi family.
After Ye Li sat down with Qi Huanfeng in the reception room, a servant immediately brought up a cup of hot tea and some fruits and snacks.
When Ye Li took a look, he felt somewhat familiar, because most of these things were no different from those on the Black Eye Continent.
Ye Li felt relieved now. The behavioral habits on the two continents were similar, so it wouldn't be too difficult for him to disguise himself.
"Master Ye, please allow me to once again express my gratitude to you for saving me on behalf of the Qi family.
If you hadn't appeared today, not only would my life be in jeopardy, but the lives of the entire Qi family might also be in jeopardy."
Qi Huanfeng was truly grateful to Ye Li. Anyone who had just been rescued from death would be grateful.
Ye Li also waved his hand politely and said, "Uncle Qi, you don't have to be so polite. I just happened to be here."
Just as Qi Huanfeng was about to say something else, a vigorous old man strode in.
"Feng'er, are you okay?" The old man saw Qi Huanfeng as he entered the room, and a look of nervousness appeared on his face.
"Dad, you're here. I'm fine. This time, it's all thanks to Mr. Ye who saved me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to come back."
Qi Huanfeng said to the old man who came in, it seems that this old man is Qi Tianping, the head of the Qi family.
When Qi Tianping heard what Qi Huanfeng said, he immediately looked towards Ye Li and saluted with gratitude, "Master Ye, thank you for saving my child. If you hadn't helped me today, my child might not have survived."
When Ye Li saw the other party bowing and thanking him, he had no choice but to return the greeting quickly, after all, the other party was an old man.
After returning the greeting, Qi Huanfeng said, "Dad, if Master Ye had not been here today, not only would our caravan have been murdered, but our entire Qi family would have been murdered.
The hemp-robed bandits had already stated when they attacked us that after getting rid of us, they would mobilize people to cause trouble for my Qi family.
With the strength of the Ma Yi bandit's first and second in command, we can't compete with them at all. If they attack with all their strength, we will only end up with our families destroyed and our people killed."
Hearing Qi Huanfeng's words, Qi Tianping's expression changed and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"How could this happen? We pay tribute to the Ma Yi bandits every year. Are they really going to wipe out my entire Qi family just because of Juan Er's matter?!"
Qi Tianping seemed a little unconvinced.
"Dad, I've long said that the Ma Yi bandits are a bunch of crazy, treacherous villains, and our families shouldn't have paid tribute back then.
With the money we pay to the Ma Yi bandits, we will definitely be able to hire enough people to eliminate them all, and we won’t plant the seeds of trouble now!"
Qi Huanfeng felt a little angry.
Qi Tianping sighed and said, "Those guys are all desperate criminals with no ties. When we hire people to suppress the bandits, the leaders won't care whether the stronghold will be captured or not.
They will not care about the life or death of their subordinates. As long as the strength of the people we hired exceeds the limit of what they can deal with, they will flee for their lives.
If we can't kill them right away, we will be the ones to suffer once the storm has passed."
