At this moment, Li Xifeng and the others were extremely shocked. Although the five old men knew that Ye Li's realm was the early stage of the Spirit Sea period, Xie Qi was also at the same realm. They never thought that Ye Li didn't even use talismans and subdued a master of the same level in an instant.
Afterwards, Ye Li used a talisman to control more than 30 people under Xie Qi. This fighting style, which was clearly at the same level but seemed to be countless levels higher, made it difficult for everyone who saw it to remain calm.
The five elders once again confirmed their guess about Ye Li's origins. They believed that he was most likely from a powerful family of the first or second rank, otherwise his fighting skills would not be so advanced.
After hearing Xie Qi's apology, although Li Xifeng was still indignant, he was not willing to argue with the other party to the end.
Because he knew that Ye Li was just a passer-by and would leave Pianshan County sooner or later, but they and the people from Mangxiong Village might meet him at any time.
Although the other party did not dare to attack wantonly in the city, once they left the city, they would be likely to be attacked by the other party.
The first principle for traveling merchants to seek profits in the cracks is to endure humiliation and pursue harmony. Li Xifeng has adhered to this principle for decades and naturally will not change this attitude now.
Li Xifeng barely suppressed the pain in his chest and stood up from the ground. He then helped Xie Qi up and said, "Master Xie Qi, let's forget about today's incident and pretend that nothing happened. What do you think?"
Xie Qi was helped to stand up by Li Xifeng, but the severe pain in his abdomen still made him sweat profusely.
“Is this the revelation
You are dreaming. Your grandfather has been humiliated like this, how could I let you go?"
Xie Qi kept screaming in his heart, but he forced an ugly smile on his face and said, "Okay, let's just pretend that what happened today never happened. We both know each other now. We don't know each other without fighting, so we can be considered friends from now on."
Hearing his words, Li Xifeng's face showed joy.
Although he himself had no intention of making friends with the other party, if he could establish some relationship with Mangxiong Village, it would be of some help to their traveling merchants and trade association.
Hongdou looked at Li Xifeng and Xie Qi, feeling puzzled. These two people were clearly enemies just now, so why were they becoming friends now
In her still innocent mind, it is difficult for her to understand the complexity and changes of the adult world.
Lin Shiyu, Tie Xiaohua and the Chen brothers understood what Li Xifeng was thinking. Although Meng Sheng and the others could not fully understand it, they could guess roughly.
Even Ye Li could more or less understand his actions.
The two men, each with their own thoughts, endured the pain in their chest and abdomen, and talked and laughed for a while.
Then, Xie Qi turned his head to look at Ye Li, and said with a forced smile: "My dear brother, I, Xie Qi, have offended you today. Now that we have reconciled with Boss Li, please show some mercy and release my brothers. We will return to the village now."
He didn't dare to ask Ye Li to help him reconnect his wrist, but only asked Ye Li to remove the flames and mist that surrounded more than 30 of his men.
Ye Li glanced at him and didn't answer. He really didn't like people like him.
However, he had no intention of keeping the other party here any longer. He nodded, stretched out his hand and waved, and the bone-sparkling flame mist that enveloped more than thirty people instantly gathered around him. He blew it gently, and it immediately turned into a high-temperature fire stream that sprayed towards a huge rock not far away.
The huge rock was half melted in an instant by the thick fire flow, and the sticky magma flowed all over the ground.
Ye Li was deliberately showing his strength to the other party, hoping to make the other party hesitate and not dare to act recklessly again.
Xie Qi glanced at Ye Li and couldn't help swallowing.
He was indeed a little afraid of Ye Li in his heart. At this time, he also understood that his strength was far inferior to that of the other party.
Just looking at Ye Li's technique of controlling the talisman, it was countless times more advanced than his. Even if Ye Li didn't sneak attack him, he would be no match for him.
But when he thought about the humiliation he had just suffered, a surge of anger rose in Xie Qi's heart, and he couldn't suppress this anger no matter what.
Of course, he didn't dare to show it at this time, and could only show a harmless expression like a sheep, and said: "This little brother is very capable, not only is the talisman powerful, but the method of controlling the talisman is also good. Xie Qi has learned a lot today.
Now that we have turned enemies into friends, Xie Qi will not waste any more of your time. I will take my men back to the mountain stronghold.
We are all in Katayama County, so I'm sure we'll see each other often in the future. I'll definitely have a drink with the bosses then."
Li Xifeng's chest no longer hurt at this moment. He was very satisfied to hear Xie Qi's words. After all, he had achieved his goal.
Bandits are also a force. If you can make friends with them, you will always have more options in the future.
"Master Xie Qi, then take care. When I have time, I will definitely bring a small gift and visit the leader of your village in person." Li Xifeng said while looking at Xie Qi.
Xie Qi also nodded and said, "Okay, then our Mangxiong Village will certainly welcome you all and show our hospitality."
As he spoke, he forced a smile once again. His pointed face made his triangular eyes look a little small, and his pupils were not visible when he smiled.
However, Hongdou, who was holding Lin Shiyu's hand and standing next to him, clearly saw a hint of murderousness flashing in Xie Qi's eyes.
Feeling a little scared, Hongdou held her grandfather's hand tightly, but she did not tell anyone what she saw, because in her opinion, they were all friends and she could not say bad things about her friends.
After both parties finished talking, Xie Qi quickly called one of his men over to help him fix his wrist.
Then he and his men got back on horseback, turned around and galloped away into the distance. At this time, the setting sun cast its last rays of light.
After Xie Qi left, everyone turned their eyes to Ye Li.
Ye Li touched his nose awkwardly and asked, "Everyone, why are you looking at me like that?"
“Brother Ye Li, you are truly amazing. I originally thought that you were a Spirit Talisman Master in the middle stage of the Spirit Mist Stage, which was already pretty good, but I didn’t expect that you were actually a master in the Spirit Sea Stage.
You have already reached the Spiritual Sea Stage at your age, so you must have an extraordinary background."
Meng Sheng spoke to Ye Li, his tone now becoming somewhat respectful.
This was not only because Ye Li's strength was higher than his, but also because he also guessed in his heart that Ye Li might come from some first or second rank large family.
After hearing what Meng Sheng said, Ye Li could only explain: "Brother Meng, you are joking. I don't have any background. I am just a child of an ordinary small family."
Everyone thought he was hiding something on purpose and didn't ask any further questions.
Li Xifeng, Lin Shiyu and others bowed to Ye Li collectively, thanking him very solemnly for saving this trade fair and not letting their efforts over the years go to waste.
