After sitting down in the secret room, Ye Li pretended to be an ordinary guest and started asking the Traveling Merchants Association for information.
He still has a lot of spirit stones left, which should be enough to buy some information.
"I want to know where Princess Dongfang Caiyi of the Imperial City is now. Can you provide me with relevant information?!"
Ye Li said to the other party.
After hearing what Ye Li said, the other party looked at Ye Li with a kind smile and said, "The guest also wants to pursue Princess Caiyi.
But doesn’t the guest know that Princess Caiyi has disappeared for several years? Countless talented people have looked for her, but have never been able to find any trace of her.
Some people speculated that she might have encountered an accident while traveling around the world to explore ruins, and there were also rumors that she was abducted by people from the Imperial City.
Although there are many rumors, according to our analysis, not many of them are credible. The only thing that is certain is that the Princess Caiyi has indeed been missing for several years. "
Hearing the other party's words, Ye Li's face showed an extremely shocked look. He never thought that Dongfang Caiyi would disappear.
This news shocked Ye Li so much that it took him a long time to recover.
"She...she's missing. How...how is this possible? Didn't anyone in the Imperial City look for her?"
Shocked by such great news, Ye Li even stuttered when speaking.
The person from the Traveling Merchants Association said, "You must not have paid too much attention to the affairs of the martial arts world in recent years. Although the news of Princess Caiyi's disappearance is not known to everyone in the martial arts world, some major sects are very clear about it.
As the princess of the Imperial City, Dongfang Caiyi was naturally of noble status. After she disappeared, the Imperial City must have searched all over the world for her.
But after so many years, the Imperial City seems to have not been able to find any trace of her."
Ye Li didn't know how to digest this news for a moment and just stood there in a daze for a long time.
After waiting for a long while, Ye Li finally spoke: "You just said that Princess Caiyi... was abducted by the people of the Imperial City. What kind of news is this? How could there be such a rumor?"
In Ye Li's opinion, this rumor was a bit strange. Logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone in the Imperial City to harm Dongfang Caiyi, so this rumor should be very unreliable. However, Ye Li knew that there were many people from the Great Soul Organization in the Imperial City. No one could tell what these people would do.
So if they were the ones who kidnapped Dongfang Caiyi, it might really be possible.
After all, the Imperial City had recently helped the Soul Realm and the Great Snow Mountain Divine Cult, and had done something really bad to the Feng Family. If the Imperial City's actions were due to some special reason, then it seemed that there would be some kind of more reasonable explanation.
For example: People from the Dahuntian organization kidnapped Dongfang Caiyi and threatened Di Tianyao with her life, forcing Di Wangcheng to cooperate with the other party and secretly harm the Feng family.
This guess came to Ye Li's mind almost instantly.
Hearing Ye Li's question, the person from the Traveling Merchants Association said, "The spirit stones you just gave me are not enough to buy the next piece of information. Do you want to continue buying?"
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this, then he took out a pile of spirit stones and handed them to the other party, saying: "Go on, these spirit stones should be enough."
After receiving the spirit stones from Ye Li, the member of the Traveling Merchants Association nodded and said, "The spirit stones are enough. I will tell the guest the information he needs in detail.
In fact, there are many rumors about the disappearance of Princess Caiyi, but according to our Merchants Association, the most credible one is that she was abducted by people from the Imperial City.
The reason is simple, because the reaction of the Imperial City afterwards can corroborate this rumor.
The guest just asked about the person who kidnapped Princess Caiyi. According to rumors, this person is actually a high-ranking figure in the Imperial City and an elder in the inner court who has a very close relationship with Princess Caiyi—Mei Ruoxiang. "
“What… what did you say… the person who kidnapped Caiyi would be Elder Mei Ruoxiangmei!!!
How is this possible... This is absolutely impossible!!!
Elder Mei treats Caiyi like her granddaughter, she will never do anything that is detrimental to Caiyi!!!"
Ye Li's expression was extremely excited, and his violent reaction naturally attracted the other party's attention.
What's more, the tone of his voice just now clearly showed that he was very familiar with Dongfang Caiyi and Mei Ruoxiang, which made the person from the Traveling Merchants Association criticize him for a moment.
After looking for a long time, the other party seemed to suddenly recognize Ye Li and said, "You... Are you Elder Ye Li!?"
Ye Li was stunned by the other party's words, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Li Xifeng had already told him about the situation in the Traveling Merchants Guild. Many enemy spies had infiltrated, so Ye Li did not dare to reveal his identity casually.
Looking at the expression on Ye Li's face, the other party was stunned, as if he suddenly remembered something, and quickly opened the formation of the secret room, so that the entire secret room was wrapped in a soundproof spiritual shield.
“You must be Elder Ye Li, don’t worry, no one will know of your existence.
I am Lin Zhusi's cousin. My name is Wang Yue. I know everything about you and them.
The reason we recognized you is that we had searched all over the mainland for you a few years ago.
And I also know that you were in the Imperial City before, so I recognized you right away."
Wang Yue said to Ye Li with a smile.
When Ye Li heard the other party say Lin Zhusi's name, he felt a lot more relieved.
"So you're talking about Brother Wang. It's a pleasure to meet you!!!"
Ye Li clasped his fists and bowed towards Wang Yue.
Wang Yue quickly waved his hand and said, "Elder Ye, you are too polite..."
Ye Li stretched out his hand to interrupt Wang Yue and said, "Brother Lin and I also call each other brothers. Brother Wang is Brother Lin's cousin, so we should naturally call each other brothers. Otherwise, it would seem too distant."
After hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Yue thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Brother Ye Li, I won't be polite then."
Ye Li also smiled and said, "Hello, Brother Wang."
Wang Yue said: "My Youshang Guild is now full of enemy spies, which makes us feel uneasy.
It was because of these spies that Master Ou and his men were almost harmed. I think our Youshang Guild should bear a great responsibility."
Ye Li waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about the past for now. These things did not happen against the will of the Merchants Association.
Brother Wang, you just said that Elder Mei Ruoxiang kidnapped Caiyi, but is that true?"
Hearing Ye Li's question, Wang Yue nodded solemnly and said, "I can't guarantee whether this is true or not, but this rumor does exist.
Moreover, Emperor City had secretly investigated the whereabouts of Mei Ruoxiang and Dongfang Caiyi several times, so this rumor is very likely to be true."
