Who was he?
The more Wei Xingye thought about it, the more flustered he became. Beads of sweat appeared on his face, and his fingers rubbed the jasper ring even more frequently.
He didn't think there was anything special about him, and he'd never met this Grandmaster Ye before ….
Could it be someone from his family?
That shouldn't be the case. He wasn't from the seventy-two districts. Rather, he was from the Southern Divine Mountain, near the River Styx. He'd had to go through many twists and turns to get here.
Or was it for money?
But on second thought, although he was running a small business, it couldn't compare to Grandmaster Ye's general store.
Disregarding everything else, just this building alone was enough.
In the heart of Ice Blue City, if he wanted to buy this building, he'd probably have to sell his entire family!
Just what did this Grandmaster Ye want?
"Boss Wei, there's no need to panic. I did invite you here for a reason, but it's definitely not to threaten your interests."
The white-robed man smiled calmly, indicating for Wei Xingye to relax.
Then he arched his brows and said, "I heard that your family lives near the River Styx and often crosses the river to trade with the yao?"
Wei Xingye froze. The white-robed man's eyes darted around.
"What, you can't say?"
"Our young master asked you a question, so just answer it. Who cares about your insignificant information? Still hiding it? Don't you want the Sea Condensing Pill? "The servant girl pouted and snorted.
"Huairong."
He glared at the servant girl, who pursed her lips and didn't say anything else.
Wei Xingye was a slick person, and the Sea Condensing Pill truly was important to him. Although the servant girl's words seemed like a joke, no one could be sure if Grandmaster Ye had instructed her to say that.
Pursing his lips into a smile, Wei Xingye replied, "Grandmaster Ye is right. I do have business with the Demon Realm. However, my business isn't particularly large. At most, I trade with the ordinary yao clans. I don't have any contact with the divine beast clans. "
"Of course. The Yao Realm is as famous as the God Realm. I'm afraid only a large merchant guild like the Skyspan Association, which has connections even above the Divine Mountains, can do business with the divine beast clans. But for Boss Wei to be able to cooperate with other races in the Demon Realm, he is quite capable. "
The white-robed man nodded, and Wei Xingye followed suit.
"Grandmaster Ye, you flatter me. I'm just close to the Netherworld Sea. After the unification of the Godly King, the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm is not that tense, so I found a way to make a living here. Actually, it wasn't that I had any tricks up my sleeves. If it was someone who could endure the hardship, anyone could do it. Why? Could it be that Grandmaster Ye is also interested in this aspect? If that's the case, I can introduce some demon clans to Grandmaster Ye. "
Businessmen were businessmen. No matter what, they would always value their own interests.
Wei Xingye was like that. He knew that he was asking Grandmaster Ye to do something for him, but he could not help but ask as he spoke.
"Our Young Master won't go so far as to compete with you for that little source of income." The servant girl wrinkled her nose and snorted.
This time, the white-robed man did not stop them. Clearly, this was also his intention. Only when he saw the slightly awkward smile on Wei Xingye's face did the white-robed man speak again.
"You're worrying too much, Boss Wei. If I really wanted to compete with you for this, did you really think you could beat me?"
Wei Xingye shivered. He thought about it. For this building to occupy such a large piece of land, it was easy to imagine how wealthy it was.
Then there were the housekeeper and servant girls. Even as a mid-stage immortal king, Wei Xingye couldn't see through them. This Grandmaster Ye was merely an immortal king.
Look at the first floor. There were pills, artifacts, talismans, everything you could ever imagine. There was no doubt that a major family clan was supporting this place.
If Grandmaster Ye really wanted to eat this meal, it was just as he said: there was no way Wei Xingye could beat him.
When he saw Wei Xingye's expression shift, Ye Zichen smiled indifferently.
"It seems you've thought things through, Boss Wei!"
"Grandmaster Ye, I'm not the type to beat around the bush. What exactly do you want to say to me? Please speak plainly, "said Wei Xingye, cupping his hands.
"In truth, I brought you here to ask you a question. You've done business with the Yao Realm for so long. Have you ever heard of a woman called Xia Keke?"
Grandmaster Ye was Ye Zichen. Half a year ago, he'd arrived in Ice Blue City and bought this building from the Skyspan Trading Company. With the inheritance of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, he no longer came here to refine pills to fill the hole in his gang's finances.
What he cared about was the flow of information here!
With the Skyspan Trading Company around, people from any region would come here. It wouldn't even be strange to see people from the Yao Realm here.
That was exactly what Ye Zichen was interested in. He wanted to learn what he wanted from these people.
Before he ascended, the white-robed man had told him about Xia Keke in the Yao Realm. In truth, he'd been dubious. Coincidentally, Wei Xingye frequented the Yao Realm all year round. Ye Zichen wanted to see if he could glean any useful information from him.
"Xia Keke?" Wei Xingye frowned. "If yao are surnamed Xia, then she's definitely a dragon. Grandmaster Ye, you might really be overestimating me. Although I'm somewhat famous in the Yao Realm, I'm not so famous that I can interact with dragons!"
As soon as an expert made a move, it was obvious.
The fact that Wei Xingye could tell that Xia Keke was a dragon meant that he really did spend a lot of time in the Yao Realm. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to learn that the dragon race was Xia.
In truth, Ye Zichen hadn't expected much, but hearing that he really didn't know anything made him feel a little lonely.
"Even if it's just a rumor?"
"Grandmaster Ye, since you've asked, you naturally know the status of the dragon race in the Yao Realm. I've only interacted with ordinary clans. I've never even interacted with divine beasts, let alone peak-level clans. Even if there really was a rumor, I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. "
Wei Xingye sighed, then looked at Ye Zichen's lonely expression.
"But if Grandmaster Ye really needs it, then we can exchange contact information. When I get back, I'll ask around about Xia Keke."
"Alright!"
Ye Zichen's expression shook, then he frowned.
"It's not just Xia Keke. There's also Su Yan, Su Liu 'er, and Lu Lu. They should all be yao. There's also Su Yiyun. He should be from the River Styx. If you can find any information about the three of them, and if I can verify its authenticity, I'll reward you with a Sea Condensing Pill! "
Wei Xingye's breathing quickened, but it wasn't because of the reward. Rather, it was because of the people Ye Zichen wanted him to ask around.
In the Yao Realm, certain surnames were fixed. For example, Xia was a dragon, while Su was a nine-tailed fox.
The people Grandmaster Ye wanted him to find were all peak-level clans ….
