Chapter 3568: Mutual Speculation

Ye Liuyun said candidly: "Since the headquarters sent people over, then please trouble Administrator Li to invite the Fifth Miss."

"All right, I'll go right away. Our Fifth Miss is the daughter of the association president, ranking fifth in the family, surnamed Li, named Qianjiao!" Administrator Li also briefly introduced himself to Ye Liuyun.

"Thank you for the trouble!" Ye Liuyun also politely responded.

After Administrator Li left, Chen Yueying sent a transmission voice to Ye Liuyun: "Did the people from headquarters come because they found something?"

Ye Liuyun, however, reassured her: "No. Even if they suspect, it doesn't matter. Back then they didn't find anything; now no matter how they investigate, it's useless. We'll just deny it outright. Besides, their loss isn't that big, so they wouldn't specially come after us."

Seeing Ye Liuyun so relaxed, Chen Yueying also relaxed.

Li Qianjiao didn't keep them waiting long. Although she was a wealthy young lady, she had no habit of procrastination; she acted decisively, a result of years of assassin training.

Dressed in a blue gown, she entered the VIP room under Administrator Li's guidance. Li Qianjiao already had a good figure; the blue gown made her skin look even fairer, her features delicate and refined. Moreover, the faint aura of the Seventh Realm emanating from her also gave a sense of pressure.

Seeing this, Chen Yueying felt somewhat ashamed, thinking her mercenary attire was too shabby. Compared to Li Qianjiao, it was like heaven and earth.

Ye Liuyun, however, didn't pay much attention to appearance. Although Li Qianjiao was beautiful, in his eyes she wasn't superior to the women he had been with.

What he focused on was the faint killing intent and sense of danger he felt from Li Qianjiao.

"Assassin!" he immediately realized; Li Qianjiao must have undergone assassin training.

He himself had undergone assassin training, making him highly sensitive to that innate assassin sensation. Since an assassin's senses differ from ordinary people's, Ye Liuyun didn't use his Golden Pupil to probe her inner condition, lest he cause a misunderstanding.

He merely sensed her aura slightly and could tell she was at the Seventh Realm.

"This woman is still quite competitive, actually releasing a bit of aura!" Ye Liuyun also speculated in his mind about Li Qianjiao's personality to decide how to interact with her.

Normally, when facing customers, the association's administrators don't reveal their aura to intimidate the other party. Li Qianjiao doing this obviously meant she wanted to overwhelm Ye Liuyun.

Administrator Li promptly smoothed things over, making introductions for both sides. He only introduced Ye Liuyun and didn't know Chen Yueying's identity.

But Ye Liuyun noticed that when Li Qianjiao greeted him, she showed a hint of disdain, and she deliberately glanced at Chen Yueying.

This made Ye Liuyun immediately feel that Li Qianjiao should know their identities. Nevertheless, he sat down without changing expression, began discussing business with Li Qianjiao, hoping to finish the deal and leave quickly.

If the Chéngyuán Shānghuì really knew his identity and sent a high-realm assassin, he would certainly need to be more wary.

"He's really pretending well!"

Li Qianjiao had a preconceived notion about Ye Liuyun, so she naturally thought his behavior was just an act.

However, she quickly changed her impression of Ye Liuyun. Because Ye Liuyun's gaze at her was very clear, lacking the lust other men had for women.

Moreover, even without revealing his aura, Ye Liuyun's bearing as he sat there didn't resemble that of an ordinary mercenary team leader. He gave the impression of being very steady, like a person long holding a high position.

"This aura really doesn't seem feigned! Could it be that he's been controlling marquises for a long time, thus cultivating such an aura!" Li Qianjiao also secretly thought.

As for what Ye Liuyun used to do in the Mortal Realm, she didn't know either. She merely assumed that people from the Mortal Realm were all inexperienced nobodies who couldn't make it onto the stage.

"Miss Li, I heard from the administrator that you're in charge of this transaction. May I ask what resources you've found?" Ye Liuyun then spoke up, getting straight to the point.

Li Qianjiao, upon hearing, also continued.

"Team Leader Ye, as our important customer, being valued is appropriate. According to your needs, we have first gathered two Godforming Fruits, two Twinflowers, twelve Jade God Bones, two Buddha Light Relics, and seven Blue Lotus seeds."

"What about the price?"

Upon hearing, Ye Liuyun felt delighted inside; he hadn't expected the Chéngyuán Shānghuì to be able to gather so many good things. However, he didn't show it in his speech.

"Considering Team Leader Ye's purchase of a large amount of high-end resources, I'll decide to give him a discount, charging ninety percent of the previous quote—how about that?" Li Qianjiao directly gave a ten percent discount.

For such rare high-end resources, even with a ten percent discount, it's still a huge sum.

Ye Liuyun had also thought that since a higher-ranking person had come, there might be some discount, but he didn't expect Li Qianjiao to directly knock off ten percent.

"Then thank you, Miss Li!"

Nevertheless, he thanked her without changing expression, then organized the needed Primordial Power and Crystal Stone into a Storage Ring and handed it to Administrator Li.

After handing over these resources, Ye Liuyun had little left in his hands. Even the resources meant for the golden egg couldn't last much longer.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's consistently calm demeanor, with no expression of surprise or taking advantage, Li Qianjiao knew he was the sort who remains unperturbed by favor or disgrace.

Even if the association encountered such a customer, it would be hard to fathom their psychology, and they'd categorize such people as troublesome. Moreover, Ye Liuyun producing so many resources at once—even a major power wouldn't react as indifferently as he did.

Clearly, Ye Liuyun's mental quality is indeed extraordinary; he must have seen great storms.

"Team Leader Ye is really wealthy! Taking out so many resources, he didn't even blink!"

Li Qianjiao also placed the resources in a Storage Ring, handed it to Administrator Li for him to handle the transfer, then took the opportunity to chat casually with Ye Liuyun.

"Miss Li, you flatter me. The mercenary band's work is all licking blood from the blade; Crystal Stone and Primordial Power left unused are of little use—only when exchanged for cultivation resources do they gain value!"

"This is merely for us to preserve our lives! Increasing our strength a bit also enables us to take on harder missions and earn more resources."

Ye Liuyun, while dealing with Li Qianjiao, also took inventory of all the resources. Then he distributed them accordingly.

He left a Twinflower for Chen Yueying, a Godforming Fruit for Tang Xinyao, and then, aside from the two Buddha Light Relics and one Blue Lotus seed, gave all the remaining resources to the monster beasts beside him, immediately letting them cultivate.

"Team Leader Ye, are you giving all these resources to others?" Li Qianjiao also grew curious: "I've never seen a mercenary team leader who is so generous to his subordinates!"
