Chapter 2002: Deliberate Leak

After Wang Tianqing left the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, Shen Youcai again had the shopping guide Ling'er come and inquired about Ye Liuyun's experiences after arriving at the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance and his background.

"He didn't give his full name; I only know his surname is Ye. He seems not a local, unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, like it's his first time here... but judging by his attitude, he also seems unafraid of the Chengzhu Fu."

Ling'er replied.

Shen Youcai thought for a moment; indeed, there are no prominent Ye families locally.

But to be safe, he still had Ling'er go find Ye Liuyun again to get clear answers.

"Go find out his name, background, and when he plans to leave our Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance."

Shen Youcai instructed Ling'er.

"But I'm not very familiar with him; if I go rashly, might he become suspicious?"

Ling'er worried that suddenly going to ask Ye Liuyun about everything would provoke his displeasure.

Shen Youcai also thought this was possible; after a moment, he told Ling'er: "I'll teach you a method; maybe you can earn some extra reward money."

"Go find Ye Liuyun, tell him that Wang Tianqing came today for a confrontation, warn Ye Liuyun that Wang Tianqing intends to act against him, advise him to leave Blood Cloud City quickly, and then take the opportunity to extract more information."

"Alright then, I'll give it a try!"

Ling'er also had no choice but to agree.

After going out, she first thought for a moment, organized her words, then went to find Ye Liuyun.

"Young Master Ye, I'm Ling'er, are you there?"

"I have an urgent matter to tell you!"

Ye Liuyun's courtyard gate was closed; Ling'er knocked on the door and called out to Ye Liuyun from outside.

The Martial Cultivator living next door to Ye Liuyun, arranged by Wang Tianqing, immediately took notice.

Ling'er's shout called out Ye Liuyun, Feng Hong Xiu, and the werewolf.

Ye Liuyun gestured for the werewolf to open the gate and asked Ling'er: "Miss Ling'er, why have you come?"

"What urgent matter do you have?"

"Young Master Ye, today the City Lord personally came to find our Chief Administrator, and also had me and the Steward of the Ferocious Beast Market come for a confrontation.

I'm worried they won't let this go, so I hurried to inform you."

Ling'er spoke from outside the door.

"Oh! I understand.

Thank you for rushing to tell me!"

Ye Liuyun responded.

"Aren't you afraid?

Is it because you're not a local and don't know the strength of the Chengzhu Fu?

Otherwise, let me tell you about it."

Ling'er feigned enthusiasm and said.

Ye Liuyun smiled and said to her: "Since Miss Ling'er is interested, please come in and speak."

"Good!"

Ling'er also readily agreed and walked into the courtyard.

Ye Liuyun had Ling'er sit in the parlor; the werewolf also closed the gate, so outsiders could not eavesdrop on the interior.

The several Martial Cultivators next door immediately took out their Transmission Talismans and reported to Wang Tianqing.

"Hmm?"

After receiving the information, Wang Tianqing felt uncertain; was this a deliberate arrangement by Shen Youcai to scare Ye Liuyun away, or did the shopping guide voluntarily go to inform Ye Liuyun?

"Keep an eye on them!"

He could only order his subordinates to keep watch on Ye Liuyun and the others.

On this side, Ye Liuyun had Ling'er sit in the parlor; while listening to Ling'er introduce the deeds of the Wang Tianqing family, he also used Transmission Voice to consult with Feng Hong Xiu about using this Chengzhu Fu matter to lure the National Preceptor here.

Feng Hong Xiu thought for a moment, then told Ye Liuyun: "Deliberately leaking your whereabouts to let the National Preceptor come find you is feasible.

But I fear the National Preceptor might mobilize nearby forces against you; before he even arrives, I'll already be overwhelmed."

The nearby cities don't have any particularly strong forces.

As long as the major powers in Blood Cloud City don't intervene, we won't face major trouble.

Ye Liuyun analyzed.

If you're only dealing with the Chengzhu Fu, the major forces in this city likely won't intervene! Haven't you heard Ling'er talk about the Wang family's character?

Feng Hong Xiu confirmed.

Ye Liuyun also said: "Good! Then I will proactively leak the information.

Even if the National Preceptor learns of the news, he couldn't possibly get here that quickly!

Hmm.

Feng Hong Xiu also agreed.

She also reminded Ye Liuyun: "I estimate this girl is someone the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance sent to probe your background!"

Exactly, it's too obvious! I was just preparing to tell her my information, letting the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance worry for four or five days, then I'll act.

Ling'er talked a lot, all about the Wang family's notorious deeds and the true strength of the Chengzhu Fu; actually she doesn't know much either, she just wanted to get close to Ye Liuyun.

Feeling the chat was about done, she then proactively asked Ye Liuyun: "Young Master Ye, are you a scion of some major power?

I see you don't seem at all worried about the Chengzhu Fu?

How should I address your full name, Young Master Ye?

Where exactly are you from?

Ye Liuyun smiled and then told her the truth: "It's not really a major power either! Do you know the Death Legion of the Border Battlefield?"

I am the leader of the Death Legion.

My name is Ye Liuyun.

"Death Legion?"

Ling Er, as a guide, does not know much about the Border Battlefield.

She only knows that the Border Battlefield is chaotic.

"Hmm.

Just a relatively large Mercenary group!"

Ye Liuyun did not elaborate further.

Ling Er does not know, but the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance senior officials certainly do.

He only needs to state this information, and that is enough.

"Then you came all the way here just to buy a few slaves?"

Ling Er continued to inquire.

"Yes! What a pity, haven't encountered any of high level."

Ye Liuyun said, feigning disappointment.

"Then do you still plan to stay here?

Your forces are not within the city, so I think it would be safer for you to leave early!"

Ling Er continued.

Ye Liuyun, knowing she wanted to ask how long he would stay here, deliberately said, "Once the few slaves I bought earlier have recovered some of their injuries, I will leave.

Then they will protect me, and the road will be safer.

I estimate it will be about four or five days; I have only booked this Side Courtyard for five days."

"Oh! But I think they still aren't a match for the Chengzhu Fu.

Anyway, you should be cautious; you can buy more slaves and ferocious beasts here to take with you, which will be safer!"

Ling Er's words were indeed sincere.

"Thank you, Miss Ling Er, for your concern.

And thank you for telling me so much information.

You must accept this token of appreciation!"

Ye Liuyun said, and took out a Top-grade Divine Crystal, handing it to Ling Er.

When Ling Er saw the Top-grade Divine Crystal, she immediately beamed and thanked Ye Liuyun.

She had already asked all the necessary information, so she did not linger; after bidding Ye Liuyun farewell, she returned to report to Shen Youcai.

"You are generous, you startled that silly girl into a daze!"

After Ling Er left, Feng Hong Xiu teased Ye Liuyun.

"Money can make ghosts turn the mill!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

Feng Hong Xiu, still smiling, asked, "You are so generous, why don't you treat me to a meal?

The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance's restaurant has some dishes that are quite good.

You could have them prepared and delivered to the Side Courtyard for us to eat."
