Chapter 2087: Red Hall Agreement
Feng Hong Xiu led the Dragon Clan members into the Red Luan Pavilion, first arranging lodging for them, then reporting to the pavilion master.
Soon, Feng Hong Xiu returned to fetch Ye Liuyun.
"Let's go, the pavilion master is waiting for you!"
Ye Liuyun followed Feng Hong Xiu and arrived at the Red Hall here.
As the headquarters of the Red Luan Pavilion, the Red Hall was just as Ye had seen before.
Only Ye Liuyun, using his Golden Pupil, saw many Ninth Realm strongmen inside cultivating.
Ye Liuyun merely glanced and dared not look longer, fearing the strongmen would notice.
Feng Hong Xiu reminded Ye Liuyun: "Our pavilion master said,
When you see her later, you must not use the Golden Pupil to look at her body!"
Ye Liuyun laughed helplessly: "You say that as if I've seen you before! I'm not a lecher, why would I look at her body!"
"Haven't you ever seen me?"
Feng Hong Xiu retorted, and her face turned red as well.
Ye Liuyun, fearing a misunderstanding, hurriedly argued: "I've already explained to you, it's only to see your realm, not your body!"
"Either way you looked!"
Feng Hong Xiu ignored Ye Liuyun's explanation: "Our pavilion master is at the Ninth Layer Early Stage.
I told you! So you're not even allowed to look at her realm!"
"Fine, I won't look then!"
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to agree.
"That's about right!"
Seeing his agreement, Feng Hong Xiu finally led him upstairs.
Upon meeting Yao Hong, she was uncovered and did not hide behind a curtain, so Ye Liuyun was not curious.
Since she had beforehand prohibited him from using the Golden Pupil, he indeed did not use it.
After the two exchanged greetings, they both sat down to chat.
"Young Master Ye, you're truly fortunate that we Red Sleeve have to run back and forth for your affairs! I usually want her to come back and see me, but she's too lazy to move!"
Yao Hong first used Feng Hong Xiu to open the conversation.
"How could I?"
Feng Hong Xiu made a sly excuse, looking a bit awkward.
"Miss Red Sleeve has indeed taken great care of me, thank the Red Luan Pavilion for its continual help!"
Ye Liuyun also quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Young Master Ye, you're being modest! You are our guest, caring for guests is our duty!"
Yao Hong said politely as well.
Then the two discussed Ye Liuyun's purpose for coming this time.
Yao Hong had no doubt about Ye Liuyun's intent and finally asked: "So, Young Master Ye, what do you think of the Spirit Clan?"
"Spirit Clan?"
Ye Liuyun immediately became cautious.
He could confirm that the Dragon Clan and Chaotic Beast Mountain had nothing to do with the Spirit Clan.
But regarding the Red Luan Pavilion, he could not be sure.
Hence his answer was very conservative.
Ye Liuyun shifted the topic: "I know nothing about the Spirit Clan.
I don't know which aspect Pavilion Master Yao is asking about?"
Yao Hong, seeing Ye Liuyun dodge the question, already guessed he held no good feelings toward the Spirit Clan.
Because when she previously asked about the Dragon Clan and other forces, Ye Liuyun answered openly.
Yet she continued: "I want to know, after Young Master Ye replaces the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, will you take action against the Spirit Clan?"
Ye Liuyun found her direct question hard to answer.
He could only say: "I think nobody wants swords drawn. As for the outcome, it depends on the Spirit Clan's attitude.
At least with my current power, I'm not a match for the Spirit Clan!"
Yao Hong nodded and added: "Young Master Ye, dealing with the Spirit Clan is indeed far beyond your reach!"
Ye Liuyun thought to himself: "Why does she say that?
Does she hope I'll deal with the Spirit Clan?"
Yet Yao Hong's words did not state it outright.
Both sides kept it brief, each remaining guarded.
Yao Hong changed tack, asking Ye Liuyun: "Our Red Luan Pavilion has many women; life isn't easy. Supporting Young Master Ye is fine, but we also need resources to cultivate…"
Ye Liuyun promptly replied: "Pavilion Master Yao, no need to be formal; state any request you have."
He also knew that after so many days, Yao Hong had surely prepared conditions.
He had just obtained a large amount of resources from the Eastern Dynasty, so as long as the price was right, he could accept.
"I heard Young Master Ye came from the Southern Region?
Is the Southern Region already under your control?"
Yao Hong asked.
"Exactly! Does the pavilion master intend to expand Red Luan Pavilion into the Southern Region?"
Ye Liuyun immediately responded.
Yao Hong also went along and asked, "Can we?"
I can give Young Master Ye a share of the profits, treating it as our partnership business.
Just now Ye Liuyun avoided the Spirit Clan's issue, although.
But his answer clearly shows he has already considered the matter of clashing with the Spirit Clan.
So Yao Hong proposed the partnership in order to have closer cooperation with Ye Liuyun.
By then, even if Ye Liuyun doesn't act, she can still bind herself to Ye Liuyun.
Aside from a few close sisters like Feng Hong Xiu who know, no one else knows about Yao Hong's grudge against the Spirit Clan.
Even the Spirit Clan doesn't know Yao Hong's true identity.
Yao Hong's family were originally Spirit Clan members.
But her parents were framed and expelled from the Spirit Clan.
Finally, they were hunted down by the Spirit Clan.
But the Spirit Clan didn't know at the time that her mother was pregnant.
After her mother gave birth to Yao Hong, she entrusted Yao Hong to others for foster care, and left her a blood letter and a treasure that isolates bloodline detection.
Only after growing up did she learn that her parents died at the hands of the Spirit Clan.
Her cultivation techniques are also the Spirit Clan techniques left by her parents, and with her special Spirit Clan physique, her progress is especially fast.
But she constantly thinks of avenging her parents, so she opened the Red Luan Pavilion to secretly gather power.
Ye Liuyun doesn't know any of this.
But he also feels that Yao Hong wants to bind herself to him.
No matter what the future holds, at least for now it's very advantageous for him.
Ye Liuyun thought it over and immediately agreed.
"Of course! I also want to thank the Pavilion Master for giving me this money-making opportunity!"
Ye Liuyun smiled and agreed.
Yao Hong, seeing his agreement, then continued to say to Ye Liuyun: "Then let Hong Xiu help contact matters in the Southern Region! I'll also allocate some specific personnel."
This way, even if she stays by your side, she can still help those people get things done!
"The Pavilion Master wants Hong Xiu to stay by my side?"
Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
This is obviously to have Hong Xiu monitor me!
Yao Hong laughed and explained: "Young Master Ye, don't misunderstand! I'm letting her stay by your side solely to protect your safety."
Because your safety is very important to me.
I will give Hong Xiu directly to you.
From now on she will be yours, and no longer a member of our Red Luan Pavilion!
"Ah?"
Both Ye Liuyun and Feng Hong Xiu were greatly shocked.
"Pavilion Master?"
Feng Hong Xiu was about to speak, but Yao Hong laughed and cut her off.
"You little girl, do you think I can't see through those little thoughts of yours?"
"You've taken a liking to him, haven't you?"
"I'll grant you that wish!"
Yao Hong said.
The Red Chamber has a rule that once assassins like Feng Hong Xiu take a liking to someone, they must leave the Red Chamber, and Feng Hong Xiu is aware of this.
